All Hail Prince Gawain!: Bells ring throughout the kingdom as the birth of Prince Gawain, son of King Golden-Feather, is announced. Though Queen Gabriella Golden-Feather was reportedly greatly weakened by the exertion, by all reports her health was not negatively affected. The young prince is reportedly in good health, and the inhabitants of the kingdom breathe a bit easier at the knowledge that, should their current king pass on, there will not be another succession crisis.
Aquileia Invades Wingbardy!: After years of brewing tensions, the day so many have feared finally comes. Messengers from King Brochard send Duke Talonuelli an ultimatum: submit or be destroyed. Less than an hour after the couriers arrive at the Wingbardian Capital, the armies of Aquileia cross the border. Duke Talonuelli hastily orders his own army to rally around the Capital in preparations for a siege. The war to reunite the Empire has finally begun.
Feathersians Remain Divided: Though the City-States are universally concerned by Brochard's aggression, they remain divided over what to do about it. Some enact harsh diplomatic sanctions against Aquileia, others remain strictly neutral, awaiting a victor to negotiate with. Duke Montefeathertro heads the interventionist faction arguing for direct military action in support of Wingbardy, but he and his supporters are merely a vocal minority on the Feathersian Council. It appears it will take a significant change in circumstances to convince the League to take a more aggressive stance against Aquileian aggression.
