Military Affairs
Two centuries of peace gone as if they had never been. That is the general sentiment around the empire in modern times. Even as the heart of the empire itself is engulfed in conflict as the Laramy civil war rages further conflagrations have spread across the eastern fringes.

In the north House Jinks and the Duchy of Lyrae have engaged in a war of ideals as the Lyreans attempt to bring the infamous Jinks cartels to justice. But their efforts have been stalemated by the expert strategy on the part of High Admiral Marcone Jinks.

Nearer to the heartland House Berger has engaged House Voss over the return of the fugitive Berger heiress, but they have been quite decivily beaten back by the combination of Voss military determination and ample use of operatives to cripple key Berger logistics networks.

The only war that has indeed been short and victorious as so many leaders promise is the one between the Zaqaru Dynasty and House Sansone. Calling upon the Greenflame armada the Zaqaru were able to overwhelm the Sansone defenders in open combat. Though rumors have it that the Sansones had a few tricks up their sleeves.

Lighter News
Not every house has turned to war however. The Excagon family have engaged in a massive campaign to wine and dine literally every noble in the empire. Their perfectly attired family members have been seen in every fashionable event of the last few years always in exquisite fashion. With witty conversation and charming smiles the Excagon family are on everyone’s minds and more nobles that not claim to have close personal ties with one or more of their members.

The Common Folk
Rumor has it that the Tatarus have become a little to assertive for the liking of their noble neighbors. A group of earls and counts has banded together to assert noble superiority and deal with the cartel of concubines before they can bend the entire region with their seductive whiles.
