Zarra Kultressen Captured By Blue Lotus

Following what can only be called a "Strange turn of events", 6 members of the Blue Lotus Clan apprehended Senator Zarra Kultressen of the Kultressen Drow Clan. As a Senator of the Empire of Armageddon, her capture was quite the prize!

After securing the drow as a prisoner, the Blue Lotus Clan escorted the Senator to the Castle of Redemption where she was handed over to members of the Royal Knights. After taking custody of the prisoner, she was taken inside where the Soke of the Blue Lotus helped verify she was now safely in their custody and still breathing before leaving. What her state is presently, we are not able to say.

It has been verified that Primus Narj, leader of the Vampire Coven "The Accursed", who was the current serving Emperor of the Empire of Armageddon, has stepped down from his post. Furthermore, it is believed he has also withdrawn his forces from the Empire completly.

During the most recent meeting of the Imperial Court, Primus Narj addressed the Empress to propose a neutrality between his forces within Umbra, and those within the Empire of Tokuno. Following a short discussion, Empress Miko agreed to this "Cease Fire".

What does this mean for the future of the Empire of Armageddon? More will follow as it's made available.

Bishimi and Turgon Promoted

During Sunday's Clan Meeting, Soke Takashi announced the promotions of two Shidoshi's. Rokudan Bishimi and Rokudan Turgon have both been advanced to the rank of Nanadan. The promotion, as detailed by the Soke, is in response to the outstanding work both of these men have done for the Clan. Apparently this promotion has been long in coming, but the disappearance of Shidoshi Myreuki has brought it's need to the forefront.

Congratulations are in order for these exemplary leaders. Congratulations, gentlemen!
