A Black Hand in Staalkastel
The nation formerly known as Staalkastel has suffered a tragedy this night, Jon Rumplestein, a prominent druid in the druidic community, was brutally murdered in his home. His skin had been peeled off and turned into a piece of parchment with the words, "We Know" written on it. Next to him was a a black hand, put onto the wall with black ink. Attempts at fingerprinting was fruitless as the assailant seemed to have been wearing gloves. The entire Druidic community is weeping and mourning over this whole affair. Loved by most and still had a lot of support amongst individuals. The motive for the attack is unknown at this moment in time but it's been suggested that Rumplestein was working on an investigation on a religious sect of radical Voideric cultists.

The New Hanover Gazette. No.279

Scientists Flock To New Austin: Grand New Institute To Be Constructed In Mesa County.
In a move that would surprise the scientific community of both the United Serdian States and the rest of Argus, the universally respected figure, Mr. Jeremy Bennette Of West Elizabeth elected to establish a new institute for his latest research endeavors within the sleepy region of Mesa County in the northern desert of New Austin state, This sudden interest in the remote area of the state has baffled the Scientific community as many find it quite odd that Mr. Bennett, a highly respected figure and considered the authority on "quantum mechanics" would desire to create a research institute in such a barren and remote wasteland.

However despite the general confusion towards such a decision others have been supportive and at least one scientific body has been founded by Mr. Bennett to help him run the new facility. Besides that the State Governor, Mr. Tobias Armstrong has approved of such a move, when asked about his thoughts on the matter Mr. Armstrong said this:
"Personally? I feel this is great! It'd be a chance for the state to shake off it's reputation as being a barren backwards wasteland, which despite our best efforts has remained ever prevalent. so with this in mind I say I and my government will support Mr. Bennett's decision to further science in our humble little frontier, and I sincerely hope that his efforts will raise the collective I.Q. of our state." - Governor Armstrong.

Mr. Bennett could not be reached for any commentary.

A Black Hand in The Serdian republic
The blood spilled out all over the pavement in Columbia's West Waltham District. Reports of a foul miasma had been circulating for days. Due to the poorer's districts priority being on the lower side, the police were slow to respond, but the scene was grizzly when they did finally see it. 3 women's bodies, the youngest 17, had been brutally mauled apart. They had missing body parts, one missing eyes, the other a tongue and the other their ears. Most gruesome however was that their chests had been ripped open and the hearts were seemingly crushed and stomped on the pavement. The brutality of the murders and the degradation of the corpses caused it to taken an extended time to identify anything about the women until learning they were all prostitutes working at a local brothel.

The only thing giving a possible hint to the killer's identity was a note with a black hand and "We Know" Carved into each of the foreheads of the corpses.

Later that day a letter would arrive in the mail at the local police precinct reading as follows:

"Dear Sirs,

I hope this letter finds you in better health than the fair maidens who met a gruesome end at my blessed blade. I am writing you to inform you of a few things, to clarify some things I have read in initial rumors.

First of all, I was hired to murder those women. I am an assassin, a hired killer, but I am also a killer for religion. Sending the souls of the impure to the embrace of our dreadfather. I am a Dark Brother.

Second of all, The box sent along with this package has the ears of the one woman. I suppose she will not be needing them but they have proven difficult in preserving.

Thirdly and finally, This isn't the first of my order's acts. It will not be the last.

P.S. A copy of this letter has been sent to the local printer. If it hasn't already been put on the press, I would hurry along to prevent panic in the streets. Try and come after us... and our next target will be much... much higher in Serdian society."

Hurtgenwald, Wielbelkia, and Serdian republic

Rhodicia

Weeks would pass after the initial Rhodish implosion. The resulting turmoil and general distaste for the monarchy would shatter the nation into a plethora of cliques, all with varying alignments and allegiances. Most of these factions would be scrambling for power over the others, and a chance at restoring order to the state.

The Blue Guard
The Blue guard consists of the Prince's most loyal supporters. These monarchists will stop at nothing to keep their dear Prince in control of their fatherland. The Blue Guard is still supported by many everyday people, but it's true backbone lies in it's strong grip over the army. Most of the Army of Rhodicia is still loyal to the prince, however the navy would have virtually split in two, with the Prince only having half of it's support. The Blue Guard and it's Prince strongly believe they will crush these insurrections on there own, but would certainly not decline any support from other Monarchies in Argus.

The Republicans
The Republicans are the Prince's Public Enemy Number One. They are strong supporters of a Serdian style Republic, even modeling their flag off their stars and stripes. Currently they have massive public backing and have hundreds of thousands of everyday people fighting in the streets and fields of Rhodicia for a chance to one day vote their leader into power. So far some smaller portions of the army have turned to fight with them, with hopes that more will join them. The other half of the Navy and the yound Air Force would be fighting alongside the Republicans, both proving to be exceptionally useful to the the Republican cause. The Republicans would first and foremost call on their brothers and sisters in Serdia to intervene and fight for the cause of freedom and justice for all, along with signaling for anyone else who supports such principals to join the fight.
The Mousseauists
The Mousseauists hail from the rural coast and inland countryside of the northwestern corner of the nation. These people fought for Communism in Rhodicia, to prevent the rich from becoming their new masters. With the death of their leader Vincent Mousseau in a prison riot days into the revolution, these people would be passionate and willing to defend their cause with their lives. They would have close to no military support, but a steady and loyal support in the areas they were in control of. While some would go fight with the Republicans closer to the largest urban centers of the nation, the vast majority would be holding onto their northwestern territories, while disagreeing with the ideals of the Republicans. Splitting the nation would not be a desired outcome by many, the Mouseeauists largely plan to either put the Monarchy down themselves if the Republicans are failing, or fend of the Republicans if such and outcome is necessary. The Mouseeauists would call on any and all comrades overseas to assist in their fight against their oppressors.
Kaloulland
Kallouland is a small state in the far east of Rhodicia, attempting to use this as an opportunity to secede from the Rhodicians. The Kaloul people had long been trampled on with their unique and ancient language, culture, and religion being suppressed by the monarchy. The people would not exactly be looking for a fight, but have put in large efforts to barricade and force their own borders into existence. Small militias are prepared to fight off any and all who try to deny them independence any longer. So far some of the Republicans and Mousseauists have expressed support for them but the Monarchists aren't expected to be nearly as kind. Luckily the Blue Guard is more concerned with putting down large rebel populations rather than oppressing minorities.
Argentbourg Commune
The Argentbourg Commune is a small town in the north that has almost entirely slipped under the Blue Guard's efforts to stop insurrections. This countryside town had become an Anarchist Commune largely through a somewhat different approach to Christianity and support for many nearby socialist cells. While having a very small militia force, the Mousseauists have been in contact with the Commune and have expressed that they will assist in defending Argentbourg on account of somewhat similar beliefs.

"Dear god..." An Inspector of the Columbia Metropolitan Police Department said the day the three slayings were finally discovered, desperately trying to hold back his morning's breakfast as many officers surrounded the scene, cordening it off with scared and curious onlookers desperately surrounding the gruesome murder scene trying to get a look at the horrible mess, the immediate aftermath of the murder would see vigilante groups forming within the West Waltham slums as thuggish men with revolvers, clubs, shotguns and knives with flashlights and lanterns lighting their way as they made their 'patrols' along the slum streets, looking out for whoever this freaky psychopath is... During the course of the next two nights Law Enforcement would encounter at least one 'copycat' murder with the next night bringing the body count to six as a man suspected of being the killer was shot and killed with another suspected individual being lynched by the now self-proclaimed 'West Waltham Public Safety Committee' continued it's patrols despite multiple arrests and warnings by Law Enforcement before finally dwindling interest due-in-part to concerning events in Serdia's northern neighbor and other international incidents killed off any further interest in pursuing the twisted murderer, finally bringing the hysteria to a seeming end.

During that time however much to the chagrin of Serdian authorities unfortunately, despite an initial attempt to cover-up the now dubbed "Sithist Letter" from being published in newspapers, it still leaked out to the press with an increase in public concern causing an increase in the aforementioned hysteria and subsequent vigilantism that the C.M.P.D. tried to prevent.

However despite the "Waltham Slayings" interest declining sharply, many members of Serdia's elite and ruling-classes be they industrialists, moguls or politicians would begin to quietly both increase the number of guards they had working for them and began purchasing personal defense weapons for themselves like revolvers hidden in cases or compact pocket pistols. The initial panic might have subsided but the paranoia remained.

Quietly in the background to the newly raging Rhodish Civil War, Serdia maintains a vigilant watch over her northern neighbor as concerns about the war spilling beyond the fractured Principality's borders begin to increase... So in a bid to further deter and dissuade any of the warring parties to bring the war into the southern republic, Multiple National Guard and regular Army regiments are activated and mobilized along the border with refugees streaming into Serdia being heavily inspected before entry.

Besides the tightening of the border, many Serdians be they common people or politicians begin publicly espousing support for the Republican insurrection with more than a few volunteering to fight alongside their new comrades in the fight for democracy!... However on the federal level the Government of the United Serdian States is officially neutral with a declared interest in "Remaining out of the conflict." However quietly within the upper echelons of Serdia's military and government, plans are already being drawn up for intervention with multiple Serdian Marine Corps divisions and units being quietly mobilized and kept on high alert for any plans for intervention, to add to that already more than a few covert operations having been launched by Serdia's to funnel arms and supplies to support the Rhodician Republicans in their fight against The Blue Guard and the Mousseauists that threaten to impede the spread of Liberty!

Unrelated News!

In a totally unrelated bit of News, the United Serdian States Navy has announced that it is both speeding up the development of the recently introduced (still in the limited pre-production stages) Langley Ltd. NF-3 "Flycatcher" Strike Fighter while simultaneously ramping up the production of it's new Glenn-Bright Co. NF-1 "Harpy" Pursuit Fighter to replace aging aircraft carried aboard the Navy's three odd aircraft carriers U.S.S.S. Miskatonic (CV-03), U.S.S.S. Ra-Cailum (CV-01) and U.S.S.S. Whitebase (CV-02) all the while re-drawing up the design for the currently-in-construction Concorde Class Battlecruisers and the single-ship Moore Class Battleship due to newly introduced budgetary constraints being felt by the Navy despite the large-scale selling-off and scrapping of various classes of older and obsolete vessels.

The Serdian Army Air Corps is following suit in the development of new combat aircraft in the meanwhile with many venerable types slowly being phased out in favor of the newer Glenn-Bright Co. PF-2A "Hawk" Pursuit Fighter, the similarly advanced Langley Ltd. FB-1 "Hart" Light Fighter-Bomber and finally the grand Glenn-Bright Co. MB-101 "Martin" Heavy bomber .

...And finally the United Serdian States Marine Corps has shown interest in at least four of the new designs slowly entering mass-production for the three branches.
