After days of voting the Synod of the Church of Sartan - one of the most (in)famous religions of the Far Eastern Continent - has selected Aeneas Quintus Ennius as the new High Priest of Sartan and Head of the Church. His Holiness has promised to take a much more moderate approach to non-believers than his predecessor Selene Octavius who was noted as being one of the most widely disliked diplomatic figure of the Far East - due in no small part to her uncompromising zeal and open disdain for all non-believers.

The question now is whether High Priest Aeneas can make peace with the Church's enemies - and whether a divisive character like Selene Octavius will be willing to just quietly fade into the background.

Sorraine surrenders to Ohnar West

In a dramatic, yet not unexpected move, Queen Arianne of Sorraine was forced to eat humble pie, surrendering all Sartanian claims to Ohnarian territory, including ceding their claims to Hosiel, Upasael, and Abilotiel to Ohnar.

The war, started by Queen Mathilda of Sorraine to wipe Ohnar off the map, and destroy the Way of the Dragon, wasn't expected to last very long, owing to the vast gold and military reserves of the three duchy Sorraine. However, the nobles of Ohnar doggedly opposed the invasion forces, mobilising their poor city and three rural regions, crushing the invading zealots in all but one military encounter.

Within less than a month and a half after the declaration of war, Ohnar forced Sorraine to the negotiating table, having taken Abilotiel, Upasael and Hosiel, and laid waste to Arempos and Anaos, deep behind Sorrainian lines. With their regions starving and in disrepair, their armies defeated, and will broken, the Sartanians finally accepted peace. Queen Mathilda was learnt to have fled in shame following news of the Sorrainian collapse, as had the Crown Prince and general, Henzo.

Ohnar West, though it had been threatened with destruction, death and torture by Sorraine, took the high road, offering generous terms of peace to Sorraine, to maintain a balance of power between the two realms at two cities each. Prideful Sorraine, to forestall this however, sold their sovereignty to Velax, joining the Arcaean Empire, trying to pull Arcaea into the conflict. Finally, Sorraine agreed to cede Ossaet and Semon should they commit further aggression against Ohnar, and end their religious persecution against the Way of the Dragon, bringing an end to the War of Sartanian Dominion over Sasrhas.

Peace has settled once more upon the Far East, but the question of how long the Sartanians will accept being under the command and heel of a "heathen" as members of the Arcaean Empire looms large ahead.
What is Freedom? - ye can tell; That which slavery is, too well; For its very name has grown; To an echo of your own

T'is to work and have such pay; As just keeps life from day to day; In your limbs, as in a cell; For the tyrants' use to dwell

Sorraine has engaged in a decidedly ingenious retrograde maneuver to recoup forces damaged fighting the infidel Ohnarians, powered by dark forces outside of human comprehension. Sorraine's diplomatic skills came into play when they were able to survive a large number of their higher nobility turning heretic and abandoning them in their darkest hour.

Victory will soon come to Sartan's chosen and the world will see what lays in store for those who deal in witchcraft.

Reports are circulating that a letter promising rewards for the killing of Regent Morgan of Zonasa was found bearing the seal of Emperor Velax of Arcaea.
