Breaking the quiet dawn of today, the sacred Mount Arreat erupted in a violent explosion of ash, lava and poisonous gas. The eruption occurred sometime around 7:00 am, stunning the cities of Sescheron, Harrogath and Ureh. Here's the situation in these three cities as well as Bastion's Keep, the closest military installation to any of these three cities Ureh The city of Ureh is not in the immediate path of the lavaflow or even much of the ashfall from Mount Arreat. But several thousand people have fled the countryside of Ureh into the inner city, where local officials are closing the gates of the city tonight at 11:59 PM. Ureh quickly stocked up on food, water and other supplies to maintain an additional 100,000 people. An estimated 35,500 have already fled inward to central Ureh. Harrogath Unlike Ureh, Harrogath is in grave danger. The largest city in the kingdom of Arreat is pinned down under the ash, debris and lavaflow from Arreat. Home to almost a half a million people, approximately 125,000 managed to escape the city before things became too bad. It is feared the rest of the population has been engulfed. One survivor, who managed to flee to Bastion's Keep with his family said, "It was horrible. Our homes, our livelihoods, were in flames within minutes." Another said, "Harrogath is lost!" Royal officials have said that once Arreat calms, whenever that is, that King Leoric will personally lead the army into whatever remains of Harrogath and dig for any survivors, despite the very low chance of that happening. Sescheron The capital of the Kingdom of Arreat was badly shaken by Arreat's eruption. Though many miles from the mountain, the effects of earthquakes coming from the eruption rattled Sescheron. One seismograph registered a quake of 6.5 at 7:55 AM, nearly an hour after the initial eruption. People looking out into the distance towards Mount Arreat claimed they saw nothing but black skies, pierced by a deathly red glow. About 9:00 the first refugees, likely from Harrogath, came in. King Bul-Kathos of Arreat immediately issued a disaster declaration and immediately phoned Throne Hall in Tristram for immediate royal aid. At noon, the first royal trucks began rolling in from Bastion's Keep. Bastion's Keep The closest Royal military center to Arreat is on high alert. Receiving orders from Tristram, the Keep is to take any refugees that come in. Upon Arreat's King Bul-Kathos' call for immediate aid, troops from Bastion's Keep as well as several trucks of supplies rolled into Arreat's capital of Sescheron. Tristram has also been rattled, as geologists had not been expecting Mount Arreat, Sanctuary's only known volcano, to erupt as violently as it did. King Leoric is promising far-reaching disaster relief once Arreat has calmed. He has also called on the other monarchs of Sanctuary to assist in disaster relief. So far, only Hakan II of Kehjistan has promised aid from Caldeum. There is also no word if air travel to and from Sanctuary has been severely affected yet. The Sescheron Airport has been closed due to the eruption, and the Harrogath Airport likely will have been destroyed. Bastion's Keep's airstrips are still active. No other airports in the rest of Sanctuary have at this time been affected. |

| Today in news Goldecia has pledged to send marines and aid such as food and water bottles to help out. The government has also offered to send tents. The government said "we are shook by this eruption and the greatest sympathies go out to Sanctuary . We will help in anyway we can. We believe Sanctuary can do a great job recovering but we want Sanctuary to know we are there." The royals of Goldecia today asked to visit so they can see what the impact is and how they can help if they can. |

The latest headlines: Tristram King Leoric has accepted the Goldecian government's offer of additional aid on top of whatever comes from the other kingdoms of Sanctuary. The King also has dispatched General Lachdanan to Bastion's Keep along with 1,000 additional troops to reinforce the garrison there and to act as a protection/police force for the refugees of the Arreat disaster. The Sanctuarian parliament also approved a 800 billion emergency grant to Arreat for clean-up and disaster relief purposes. Bastion's Keep The number of refugees at Bastion's Keep has increased to 25,000. Sescheron The number of refugees at Sescheron has increased to 45,000. King Bul-Kathos has accept the Parliamentary grant and is immediately putting the money to use for cleanup costs and such. |

| Goldecia sent 500 marines and also sent tents in their military cargo planes. Food supplies and water were sent in on commercial flights already heading out. They hoped to help a decent proportion of the people affected. |

| President Gidamo announced to the nation that a small humanitarian force will be despatched to Sanctuary on behalf of the Chevneskian people (if the government of Sanctuary approves) to assist with both the evacuation process and the eventual reconstruction of affected areas. Moreover, food, water and other essentials will be donated to the victims of the eruption by a number of different Chevneskian NGOs. The government is encouraging Chevneskians to donate money to such organisations. Religious leaders in the country, including the Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Chief Rabbis, have pledged support and are in the process of collecting funds for the victims. |

| The people of Caldera weep for the tragedy in Sanctuary. The Caldesar declares, "If Sanctuarians agree, we will provide quality housing, food, medical treatment and other needs, as well as a means to work if they so choose, for all victims of this tragedy." Transport ships are being prepped in the event that the Caldesar's offer is accepted. |

Today 2,000 soldiers including 500 more marines arrived in the region to distribute aid. The Salvation Aid volunteers numbering in the thousands provided moe aid on top of the Goldecian government. The international pastor of the ICS asked to visit to see what more he could do. The ICS announced it would be releasing food from its foodbank and flying it in to provide food to the affected regions. They also encouraged any local ICS christians to take families affected in and help them in their time of need by showing the "love of christ" in caring for others in their time of need.Tens of thousands of tents, meals for many thousands and the help and shelter have been provided.The pm of Goldecia said "The time is now for us to stand with The Sanctuary, they are facing a hard time and we in Goldecia know what its like to lose homes and have to move away with our history of flooding. This is their hard time, their time when something they didn't have control of affected them. We have a duty to help."

Latest Headlines: Mount Arreat Mount Arreat has calmed since the last update, but it looks significantly different. Half of the mountain looks like it was blown clean off during the eruption, and it is a shell of its once glorious self. Harrogath Much of the city of Harrogath is in ruins. Though the inner part of the city managed to escape with little damage, the outer edges and virtually all of the farmland of the city was buried by ashfall that is believed to have gone up to at least thirty feet. Casualties in the city, thanks to the quick evacuation efforts in the moments just after the initial eruption, are believed to have remained low, even by Arreatian standards. In a city of half a million at one point, about 450,000 managed to escape to Sescheron, Bastion's Keep, or one of the other six kingdoms of Sanctuary to some degree. Tristram King Leoric has accepted the aid of Chevneskia and Caldera, declaring, "It is wonderous to hear that even in the midst of their own crises, nations of the world can take some time and assist us in our own tragic circumstances. I thank them." He then went on to say that he personally is going to lead 5,000 troops north to Harrogath to assess the damage in the city and elsewhere. |

King Leoric and five thousand Royal troops descended upon the ruined city of Harrogath, Arreat today, carrying with them loads of supplies, food, water, and a determination to show the people of Harrogath, and indeed all of Sanctuary, that a Khanduran king can show solidarity with a stricken Arreatian city. Leoric roused a crowd gather in what was left of Harrogath's town square with a thunderous declaration, "Today, and together as people of the same nation, the same Crown, we shall begin the long process of rebuilding and restoring this great city to its former glory!" 450 people, as well as many of the soldiers with him, roared with thunderous applause at the King's declaration. The disaster in Arreat took a toll on the economy, possibly costing the government 19 billion gold pieces, and the final cost could top 50 billion. |

| Today Salvation aid and Goldecia continued their help running soup kitchens and offering help to transport goods arround. The Salvation Aid charity a branch of the ICS church asked more of their Christians to take in those with no homes if they have a spare room. The charity proposed a scheme to the government whereby they temporarily pay christian families to cover their costs to take in those who need somewhere to live temporarily. |
