Unification Day Festivities Come to a Close​

Yesterday the 514th Unification Day Festival officially came to a close. In addition to the usual favorites of the parade, grand market, and royal address, this year also saw the return of the Unification Day Concert. Alvis Parsley headlined the show accompanied by a number of musical acts from around the kingdom to showcase the various cultures of our nation. Fans were disappointed that Alvis only played a few songs. The entertainer says that he wanted to share the spotlight with the other acts in the spirit of kingdom unity. The Royal Family also made appearances around the Festival. It was one of the first public appearances of Queen Rose after mourning the untimely passing of Princess Charlotte.

Alchemical Reagents Incorporated Posts Losses​

It has been a tough year for Alchemical Reagents Incorporated (ARI). For the fourth straight quarter the company failed to meet revenue projections. Company leadership points to unforeseen issues with restarting manufacturing after two separate attacks on ARI manufacturing operations earlier this year as well as continued issues with shipping and logistics – an industry wide problem as disruptions to trade and caravan routes have seen an uptick this year. After the continued setbacks, shareholders are beginning to grumble that a change of leadership may be required to turn things around for ARI.

Battalion Re-occupies Northern Outpost​

Villages in the north cheered as a battalion of Kingdom forces moved up to re-occupy the Northern Outpost. After a fearsome terrorist attack destroyed a section of the outer wall and killed a good number of soldiers, the battalion stationed there was temporarily pulled back. “We felt the need to consolidate forces and do some re-training in the Capital,” said General Specific. “We always intended to send troops back north better and stronger than ever.” In the interim, the task of protecting the northern area fell harder on the Lemurian Guild to take care of threats that an armed garrison would normally deter. When asked about the recent spate of terrorist attacks at various military outposts around the kingdom, both the General and the Guild refused to comment.
