All the King's Men
Yesterday, the streets of Wayrest hosted a most magnificent event commemorating the 10th year of High King Layne's reign of the United Kingdom of High Rock. In a stunning show, the entire main street of the city was closed down and lined with cheering citizens for the High King and his famous royal bodyguards, the Lion Guard, who made their way through the city to begin his kingdom-wide procession. Flowers of every color were tossed at the king's feet and an evening of feasting was enjoyed by all after his departure from the capital. It was truly a spectacular event full of splendor.
Over the coming months, High King Layne intends to visit the greatest cities of High Rock from Daggerfall to Jehanna. The entirety of the Royal Court moves with his majesty. Even the chambermaids. See our extra edition for details of when the High King may pass through your region.

Trouble in Wrothgar
Recent townships in the Wrothgarian Mountains have reported seeing more and more instances of organized, tribal Orcs. Given that the Orcs have been forbidden in the kingdom since the edicts of High King Cymric the Able centuries ago, this is a strange occurrence. These tribal Orcs have taken to the highways of Wrothgar as bandits. To combat the issue and enforce royal authority, the High King has issued sizable bounties for every pair of Orc ears turned in to a local constable. A small forward battalion of the Royal Army has been sent to ensure no major towns or villages become subject to organized looting or raiding. Time will tell how these beastly Orcs got here and how they will end up. It is the belief of the writers here at The Lion's Repose that the situation will be handled swiftly.

The Border Fortification Edict
Before the departure of his majesty from Wayrest, a royal edict was issued to fortify the borders with Skyrim and Hammerfell. As part of this edict, the city of Evermor is undergoing extensive renovations and construction efforts. Travel in and out of High Rock continues to be forbidden to Orcs and Khajiit as it has been since the edicts of King Cymric the Able at the end of the third era. The crown assured us that it "has no plans for hostilities with the Redguards or Nords," but wishes to "ensure the safety and domestic tranquility of the kingdom."

Hail the United Kingdom of High Rock.
