SHIRE ATTACKED, COLOSSEUM NEAR DONE, VIRES APOLOGIZES, AND DARING RESCUE FROM THE NETHER, Here's what you need to know:
The Shire has been burned down and stolen from from a criminal brought to justice. They traveled with their misery to the city of Westemnet of Anduril to seek protection and resources. They got both, with Anduril's leader stating "We do not want compensation." The Shire built a refugee camp and recollected their strength there for a few days. They now head out as nomads until they find a suitable place to make a home.
The arena in the Capitol, built by the unoffical Trading Federation or Capitalists with supplies and help from members of Anduril and The Sapphire Dawn is almost complete. It looks marvelous according to the people of Westernesse. The arena had to wait some moons to see itself get this far.
A statement has been released by the Governor of Vires and it says Vires apologizes for it's misconduct in relations with other groups of people. Jawesome2 claims the problem was unknown to him but the damage may already be too deep to heal. (No they were not apologizing about attacking the Shire, they never did so)
Dannyboyy of Vires took the first trip to the Nether and it crashed and burned... but physically did the opposite. Anduril members Deadly_mist, Huddwudd, and LegoSaur were all told by nick_will_18 that the Nether portal burned out and he needed to fire up the portal again because someone was stuck there on the other side! They took a trip from Westemnet through the the barrows to Vires and lit up the portal with a Flint and Steel that Huddwudd had. They went in the Nether and left with Dannyboyy.
