15-3-2015 Broadcast Sports Stadium Officially opened in Nation's capital  An aerial view of the recently opened Brownstone Stadium in Kahsarhys Today, the Brownstone Arena has officially been opened after its construction was finished after ten years of hard work. The mayor of Kahsarhys, Denny Bruhne was the one who had the honor of opening the stadium for business, we reached out to Mayor Bruhne, but he has yet to respond. The stadium will be used for sports events, such as hockey, football, or tennis. Not only will it be used for sports events, but concerts will regularly be held there as well. Rumor has it, that the famous Cohdinian singer Carey Holden will be a recurring act that will be performed at the stadium. Mr. Holden, who is twenty-five years of age became famous with his single 'Hunting For Love', that topped the Singles Chart for a whoppin' twelve weeks in a row after it became an immediate hit amongst his fans upon the single's release in May, of 2012.  Singer Carey Holden at a press event in past February. It may be worth mentioning that Mr. Holden has expressed the interest in participating in the elections that will take place next month, for the position of mayor of Kahsarhys. Recent polls have revealed that Mr. Halden certainly is a favorite amongst the people if he were to run for Mayor, but it remains to be seen if the singer actually will participate in the hunt for current mayor Bruhne's chair.

17-3-2015 Broadcast BREAKING NEWS: Oscar Pierson found NOT guilty, victim's family outraged  About less than ten minutes ago, Oscar Pierson, the world-famous marathon runner who had been put on trial for the murder of his longtime girlfriend Katrina Deankamp, was declared to be 'not guilty' by the jury. The decision was made unanonimously. The victim's family was devastated and furious when the verdict was ruled, they refused to understand why Mr. Pierson was not going to be imprisoned for the murder of their daughter. Miss Deankamp, 25 years of age, had been shot five times through a bathroom door by Mr. Pierson, 29 years of age, who had been under the impression that she was an intruder. Mr. Pierson, had stated that he had 'no knowledge' of her presence in his home that night, and that he was only defending himself because he feared for his life. Mr. Pierson misses both his legs from the knee down, making him a very vulnerable target for possible intruders. Despite Mr. Pierson's claims that he did not commit the murder on purpose, he had been arrested on May 29th of 2014 in his beach home in the city of Vashka on the charge of voluntary manslaughter. But today, on the 17th of May 2015, the national icon has been cleared of the murder charge. We reached out to Mr. Pierson to comment on his current situation.
Mr. Pierson will continue to compete in marathons again, starting next week. In the meantime, he will train to prepare himself for his return to the sports competition, and will also visit the Imperial Palace in Kahsarhys to speak to the Emperor himself. Ms. Deankamp's family has made it clear that they won't let this rest, and that they won't stop until Mr. Pierson is behind bars and will 'suffer for what he has done to them'. |

31-3-2015 Broadcast Emperor spotted in Kahsarhys with young man Eearlier today, the Emperor had left the Palace and went on a 'shopping trip' in the city of Kahsarhys. Odd? No, not at all. But what is interesting to note is that he was doing this together with a young man, who seemed to be more than just a friend of the Emperor. This was concluded from a photograph taken by a street photographer who offered to take their picture for free, but ended up getting fifteen dollars from the Emperor anyways. The two seemed to be very close to each other, some passerbys even described them as 'lovebirds'.  The picture taken by the street photographer. Please keep in mind, this is merely speculation from one of our correspondents. So, you can take this news report with a little grain of salt. Take it for what it's worth, and think of it what you want. |

12-4-2015 Broadcast Lily Zeng new Chief of Police in Durhay  News regarding the law, today! As of this morning, the new Chief of Police in the city of Durhay is former army general Lily Zeng, who is thirty-five years of age. Mrs. Zeng started out in Cohdinia's army when she was 20 years of age, quickly rising through the ranks because of her excellent combat and leading skills. She often was billed as the 'number one' soldier in our nation's armed forces, a moniker that she did not earn by slacking off. It didn't take her long to become one of the highest ranking soldiers in the nation, and now she has expressed her intentions of 'cleaning the streets' of Durhay and make it a much safer place to live in than it is already. She is a Durhay native, who knows her way around the streets, and knows very well what's going on in the city.
Does this sound like a defining moment will take place in the law enforcement of Durhay in the near future, or will she rise .. and succumb to the iron grip of either mob families? We will have to sit back, and watch what is going to happen. |

30-4-2015 Broadcast Convoy attacked Breaking news! Earlier today, a convoy of diplomatic vehicles that was driving through the city, headed to a very important meeting that we're not allowed to talk about because the government told us so, had been ambushed by several masked attackers bearing machine guns as it drove through what was believed to be a blocked off street. Police and Military soon arrived at the scene, just minutes after the masked assailants took off in two black sedans that have not been seen since.  An image of the scene, earlier today None of the high profile officials have been killed or injured as far as we know, but one casualty among the other staff members travelling along with the officials were confirmed. While the identity of 'victim #1' has yet to be confirmed, Thirty-two year old Paul Belson, an accountant was confirmed to be the second victim of this murder attempt. He is survived by a wife, and two young children. Our sincere condolences go out to Mr. Belson's family, and wish them well in this very difficult time. Rumor has it, that the attack has been orchestrated by the Morelli crime family, who - apparently - had beef with one, or more of the officials that were in transit to their 'meeting'. But more than this, we sadly cannot tell you, the people, because the government has only told us that we could reveal this much, and nothing more or less, because that would endanger the 'national security'. So, this is all we can, and will report about this incident. |

13-5-2015 Broadcast A new 'big dog' in Cohdinian polictics. Brandon Palmer is the name of the thirty-three year old Politician in the Cohdinian senate who at the start of his political career promised he would make a change in the Cohdinian political scene, and he certainly has. For years he had been fighting tooth and nail to pass a bill that would see Cohdinia engage into diplomatic relationships with the nations of Mundus, and that very bill passed a couple of months ago. This skyrocketed Palmer's career to a new level, especially since it was the Emperor himself, who helped and endorsed him and his plans.  Brandon Palmer Brandon Palmer, born and raised by LuAnn and Dyrk Palmer, two farmers from Dzék, a farmers village in the countryside, would never have imagined that he would be as successful as he were right now, about ten years ago. Because ten years ago, Brandon wanted nothing less but becoming a Police officer to protect and serve the people of his hometown. Today, we sat down with the man himself and asked him everything that we, and you, the people wanted to know about him. Rorke: Before this interview starts off, Mr. Palmer, I would like to say that it is an absolute honor to have you here, today. Palmer: (laughs) the honor's all mine, Terry. Rorke: Now, first off; what made you want to become a politician? Palmer: Well (pauses) as you know, many years ago I wanted to be a police officer, so I could protect the people I care about. But once I enrolled in the police academy and graduated a couple of years later, I realized I wanted to do more for my people. That's why I moved to Kahsarhys, and went into politics. So I could help the people back home, on an even bigger scale. Rorke: When you first started out as a politician, many were sceptical about your views and beliefs. How did you deal with that? Palmer: I told them that, one day they would be proven wrong about what they thought of me. And clearly, that is exactly what happened in the last couple of months. Rorke: Were you surprised, when the Emperor himself helped you with getting the bill through the Cohdinian senate? Palmer: Of course I was, I mean how could I not have been surprised? He may be young, but the Emperor's a very intelligent young man. And the fact that he chose me out of all people that he could help, I truly felt honored, and humbled when he visited me in my office and we ended up talking about our plans, and visions for Cohdinia. I cannot be more thankful of what he has done for me, my career, and for the nation that we love so much. Rorke: Have you become friends with the Emperor? Judging by what you just said, it seems like you didn't just talk business on just that one day. Palmer: That is correct. Except the formalities we exchanged, we also talked about our personal lives. About what we do in our free time, which the both of us do not really have might I add, about our families, things like that. And, I may or may not have had the pleasure to dine with him and his family a couple of times, in the past few months. So yes, I suppose he and I can be considered to be friends. Rorke: What are your thoughts on our Emperor? Palmer: Is this an interrogation? (laughs) Well, I think that he is a very bright, intelligent young man who wants to do what is best for his nation. He's, you could say a wind of change, I can guarantee you that he will bring much more change to Cohdinia than he has so far. Rorke: Okay, well, that was all I had to ask you for now. Mr. Palmer, once again thank you for being here today. Palmer: Thank you for having me, Terry. |

26-5-2015 Broadcast New members of The Cabinet, revealed! Change he promised, change he brought! The Emperor has released the names of his cabinet members earlier today, in a statement to the press. After noting that the government's efficiency rating was much lower than he had expected (around 35%), he brought four people up on the proverbial stage. And these people, who will act as members of The Cabinet and heads of their respective departments are:  52 year old William Kernan, former accountant at DCI Global, one of the biggest corporations operating on Cohdinian soil, and a member of the Cohdinian senate up until last week, when it was confirmed that he would become the new head of the Department of Finance, his official title now being 'Secretary of Finance'. Mr. Kernan has been chosen for this position as he is known for his efficient and diligent work style, and is in fact one of the best accountants in the country. Mr. Kernan also is a decorated soldier, as he has served two terms in the Cohdinian Armed Forces.  45 year old Doris Mayhew has been appointed the position of the Department of Interior, she is known for the work she has done for her community in the city of Daschet. Her most notable achievement being that she managed to turn the neighborhood, that once was known as the 'worst neighborhood in Cohdinia' in the safest, and cleanest in less than three years. his clearly has not gone unnoticed, as she now will become the 'Secretary of Interior', the second member of the reformed Cabinet  The number three on the list, is a more familiar face. Thirty-four year old Brandon Palmer, the man backed by the Emperor himself in his quest to bring change to Cohdinia, and open up the nation to foreign relations, something that the principality never had done before in its entire existence. For years, Cohdinia had minded its own business, but thanks to this man, the nation is now striving to become a vital part of the international community. He has been appointed to the position of Secretary of Justice, head of the Cohdinian Department of Justice. An odd choice, you say? Not at all. As a former police officer, Brandon Palmer intended to make the streets of his hometown, Dzék, safer. And now, as the Secretary of Justice he striving to make the entire nation safer for everyone.  And last but not least, twenty-nine year old Jerry Bradshaw is the new Secretary of Education and therefore head of the Department of Education, and also the youngest member of The Cabinet. Strangely enough, we do not know much about the man named Jerry Bradshaw. All we know is that he used to be a professor at the Mansfeld Rhys University, which already is strange considering his age, and that he is a member of one of the wealthiest families in Cohdinia; the Bradshaws, son of magnate Davis Bradshaw IV. We will have to wait and see what kind of a man Jerry Bradshaw is, and what he will contribute to the Education of students all across Cohdinia. It may also be worth noting that William Kernan, the new Secretary of Finance, is the father of the closest friend to the Emperor: eighteen year old Ashton Kernan, with whom the Emperor often was spotted strolling through the streets of Kahsarhys, attending parties and charity events and the like. Sometimes, the young man would visit the Palace, alone, or with his father. Would this be a sign that our Emperor might be playing the 'friend' game, seeing that the young man's father, and also Mr. Brandon Palmer have gained high profile ranks in the Cohdinian Government? Or did he really appoint them to these positions because they in fact would make the Government operate more effectively? We will have to wait and see, to get an answer to that question. |

[ooc: this news item's 'related' to this vignette] 2-6-2015 Broadcast BREAKING: Bombing rocks the nation's capital Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing here live at the Offices of Cohdinia's Justice Department where not longer than an hour ago a bomb has gone off, destroying half of the complex. So far, ninety casualties have been confirmed and thirty are injured. It has not been confirmed as of yet, but the blast, an enormous fireball, seemed to have originated from the office of the Secretary of Justice, Brandon Palmer. Mr. Palmer himself was not present in his office during the blast, but was attending a conference at an undisclosed location. A bomb disrupting what usually would be a regular day at work for many, resulting in a true tragedy. Firemen and Police Officers are searching through the rubble and debris for survivors of the blast, but it is highly doubtful that anyone could have survived the blast. And .. I just received word that Mr. Palmer has released a statement regarding the bombing, and it should be appearing on screen right about .. now.
Twenty additional deaths have been confirmed by rescue workers, the press office of the Emperor has stated that the Emperor is deeply saddened by the unfortunate event that had taken place today, and declared this is now is a day of national mourning. The Emperor is expected to be making a statement regarding the bombing later today. This was Jenny Kensington standing by live, from the scene of the Department of Justice's bombing. So far, no-one has claimed responsibility for this act of terrorism. May the Lord be with those affected by the bombings. Edited by Jack, 2nd June 2015 - 01:16 PM.

BOMBING INVESTIGATION: SORORITY OF MATERNA INVOLVED? Sources report that as the investigation into the bombing of the Department of Justice is ongoing, evidence strongly suggests that the Sorority of Materna might have something to do with it. While we do not know much about this so-called Sorority, it is suggested that it may be a terrorist organisation of some sort. This being obvious since it most likely is connected to the D.O.J bombings, last Tuesday. Reportedly, the head of the Justice Department [Brandon Palmer] is absolutely furious and has contacted the CTO (Commonwealth Treaty Organisation), demanding that they take repercussions against the Sorority, and if they will not .. he will look into the possibility to take some repercussions himself by doing everything in his power, and to quote the Secretary himself "So god help him". More as we get it. Edited by Jack, 9th June 2015 - 09:18 AM.

SECOND BOMBING ROCKS THE NATION: EMPEROR SPEAKS OUT Just less than a week ago after the Justice Department had been bombed, a second bomb has gone off in the nation's capital. This time, it was in the Emperor's own office that a bomb had gone off and destroyed a part of the palace. While security had been increased, this clearly did not stop the culprit from planting a bomb in the Emperor's own office. While not many details have been released, the Emperor did speak to us in an exclusive interview right on the scene of the bombing.
While no casualties have been confirmed as of yet, it is remained to be seen if anyone was hurt or killed by tonight's bombing of the Imperial palace. We truly hope the investigation will be concluded soon, that those responsible for this may be caught. Stay safe, Cohdinia. Edited by Jack, 12th June 2015 - 06:19 PM.

COHDINIAN REPRESENTATIVES TO VISIT MAVROSIA Sources report that in the near future, the Emperor himself together with the head of the Cohdinian Department of Finance; William Kernan. Why with the head of the Finance Dept., you ask? Because it is rumored that the Emperor of Mavrosia; Wolfram von Schatten, is looking to establish a Trade Union of some sorts and has reached out to our Emperor as well as to East Moreland's reigning Monarch, David the third to become a member of the Trade Union that is rumored to be named the 'Mhorish Economic Cooperative', or 'MEC' for short. Both Sec. Kernan and the Emperor are rumored to have high hopes for this Trade Union, and that it is highly likely that they will apply for membership once they have attended the conference that is going to be held at the Edelhaus Palace in Edelsphil (Mavrosia) in the near future. WHERE HAS THE EMPEROR BEEN STAYING, LATELY? In other news, the Emperor himself has not stepped foot inside the palace ever since it had been bombed. Rumor has it that while his family has been transported to a secure location and have been staying there, the Emperor himself has been sleeping over at his best friend's house. This friend being Ashton Kernan, son of Sec. William Kernan, the head of the Department of Finance. According to sources close to the nineteen year old Emperor, he has no intention of returning to the palace until it has been restored to its former glory and that he much rather wants to stay with his pal and his parents than staying close to his parents and younger brothers. Why does he rather stay with his best friend, being guarded by security teams all day instead of with his own family in an undisclosed location where he doesn't have to be guarded twenty-four seven and where he doesn't to worry about bombings or the like, either? This certainly, is a very interesting story that certainly has more to it. And once we know more, we at CNN will be the first to report it. |

ALCOHOL BANNED, FOR GOOD? In a press statement made earlier today, that we can't show you as camera equipment malfunctioned somehow, Prime Minister Raymond Douglas has declared that alcohol is from now on banned from Cohdinian bars, stores .. everywhere! Alcohol has been placed on a so-called newly instated 'blacklist' that contains products that have been banned from Cohdinian soil and therefore are also banned from being produced in our nation. The ban, according to our Prime Minister, has been imposed because of the increased deaths in drunk driving accidents over the past couple of years. And frankly, the government, or so it said, has had enough of it. Another reason for this ban, is the fact that youth criminality has increased as well. Yes, because of alcohol. Or, so Mr. Douglas said himself. This fact has yet to be confirmed. Several people already have gone into the streets and started to protest against this ruling that they consider to be 'unfair' and even 'inhumane'. Riots also reportedly have broken out in the capital and in several other cities, government officials urge the people who are not participating in the riots and protests to remain calm, stay inside and lock their doors and windows, and keep children and pets inside until local law enforcement has taken care of the situation. |

PRIME MINISTER DOUGLAS: THANK YOU, EAST MORELAND BORDER SECURITY Hours after the ban on alcohol had been instated, the smuggling of said product into our nation already appeared to have started! East Moreland's Northfort News reported yesterday that a delivery van belonging to a local Deli had attempted to smuggle hundreds of bottles of spirits over the border into Cohdinia, but that this was thwarted by a border guard who discovered that the bottles were hidden in loaves of bread, during a routine search of the vehicle. In a written statement that was released earlier today, the Prime Minister expresses his gratitude towards the East Moreland Border Security.

EMPEROR SIGNS MCUR, COHDINIA BECOMES MEMBER OF THE CTO Yes, people it is official! The Emperor has officially signed the Mundus Convention of Universal Rights, something that had been expected to be done since the Emperor had been inaugurated four years ago. And, to make things even better .. Cohdinia has succesfully applied for membership of the CTO (Commonwealth Treaty Organisation)! This, however nearly did not happen at all due to the seemingly lack of support given by said organisation when Cohdinian officials reached out to said organisation when the Imperial Palace and Justice Department had been bombed, and asked them to look into the bombings themselves as they suspected the Sorority of Materna was involved. But despite this, Cohdinia is as of now, a member of the CTO after all. Edited by Jack, 26th June 2015 - 12:28 PM.

BREAKING: BOMBER IMPERIAL PALACE AND D.O.J. CAUGHT Rumors had been circulating around various internet forums and gossip websites such as EMZ that the infamous bomber of the Justice Department and the Imperial Palace has been caught by employees of a private security company that happens to be owned and ran by a relative of the Emperor, his uncle Bradshaw Morris. When we reached out to Mr. Morris's company (Blackwater Security), a spokesperson for the company has confirmed that the man they had apprehended had confessed that the bomber of the Palace and offices of the D.O.J. When we asked for an interview with Mr. Morris, he declined to give a statement. If the man in fact is the bomber that the entire nation had been looking for for weeks now, remains to be seen as Mr. Morris is known as a man who can lose his temper quite easily and not only when he's provoked, and the man also has a rap sheet, that features three cases of assault and battery. So, you can imagine why this reporter does not completely believe that the 'bomber' actually is the bomber. The man currently is in custody of the local authorities in Kahsarhys, a date for a trial has yet to be set, and both the Emperor and Brandon Palmer (the head of the Justice Department and secretary of Justice in the Cabinet) have yet to make a statement regarding the arrest of the suspect. It might be interesting to note that the Department of Justice will be pushing for the death sentence once a trial will take place (for obvious reasons we needn't to mention), a sentence that hasn't been carried out since the late 1870's. More as we get it. |

"WE WANT A PRIDE FESTIVAL!" SAYS THE LGTBQ COMMUNITY  Well, looks like these f****ts want a festival! In all seriousness, since we're a very serious news outlet which is why we deeply apologize for that joke of poor taste, many members of the LGBTQ community have expressed their desire to have a week-long Pride Festival that they would like to take place every year by signing a petition that they have sent to the Emperor himself, earlier today after having acquired over 500.000 signatures. Many believe he will organize this week-long event, seeing he is a very big supporter of gay rights and is very involved in the LGBTQ community. Just recently, gay marriage has been legalized in all of the six Cohdinian states. While it was not illegal to marry gay couples in said states, the law did not state that it was legal, either. But, that all has been solved now. We approached a few people roaming the streets of our nation's capital, earlier and asked them about their opinion on the festival and the Emperor's possible decision.
If the Emperor in fact will make the decision to have an annualized festival such as the one requested by the LGBTQ community, by the end of this week remains to be seen. And again, we would like to apologize for the inappropriate comment made at the start of this broadcast. |

David Rhys, former Emperor arrested.  After days of searching, the culprit has been found. David Rhys, former Emperor of Cohdinia and father of the current Emperor, Daryen Rhys the fifth, has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy against Cohdinia. Just days ago, leaked text messages hinted at the man's involvement in the bombings that had taken place weeks ago, this having become a fact after the bomber confessed and presented evidence all pointing at the former Emperor. So, what initially had been a search for the man so they could ask him about the text messages, became a national manhunt after the bomber 'fessed up. The now captured terrorist is currently imprisoned, awaiting a trial that has yet to take place together with the 'actual' bomber. A trial date is yet to be set. Justice Department representatives report that their 'director', Secretary Palmer is fuming and will push for the death sentence, despite the defendant being the father of the Emperor who happens to be a close friend of his. We reached out to Mr. Palmer for a statement.
We also reached out to the Emperor, but he declined to make a statement regarding his father's shocking arrest. CNN will keep you updated, as the story develops. |

A bad night for Cohdinia at MundoVision Last night, Cohdinia had participated in the grand battle named the MundoVision song contest. And its soldier that had been chosen to fight for the number one position by the nation's people, being world famous singer Guy Sebastian. Guy, 33 years old, hails from the nation's capital and is a popular fixture on the top Cohdinian music charts. His latest single, "Tonight Again", that he performed live at MundoVision has been topping the chart at number one for three weeks in a row now.  Guy Sebastian performing at MundoVision 2015 Guy's performance at MundoVision did not go unnoticed by the Cohdinian people, as nearly seventy percent of the population had tuned in to see Guy perform! Even the artist himself, was über positive about his performance and tweeted the following during the voting process after all performances had concluded;  But sadly, even after gaining fifteen points the winning act was from Katrina and The Waves, who performed "Love Shine A Light". This lead to several disappointed comments made on Twitter, including by Guy Sebastian himself, from comedian and talk show host Jimmy Fallon, and even the Emperor himself! The singer, although clearly disappointed, was a good sport about his loss.    Many others also voiced their disappointment on the Social Media platform, but despite this many other singers and bands were wondering if they could be the lucky ones to perform at MundoVision for our country, next year. For example, Blink-182's Travis Barker tweeted the following via the band's main account.  If Blink-182 will in fact be performing at the next MundoVision contest, will remain to be seen. |

Alcohol ban no more After a recent conference held in the Upper House, it has been decided that the infamous Alcohol Ban, recently introduced by Prime Minister Raymond Douglas, has been officially declared 'invalid'. We do not have much information about why this changed so suddenly, but rumor has it that the Emperor himself had something to do with it. The same rumor had it, that the Emperor had contacted various Government Officials the day after the Festival of Sail in East Moreland and urged them to hold a conference regarding said ban, and make a decision whether it was going to be here to stay, or crash and burn .. it turned out to be the latter. David Rhys to be facing fire squad in the near future? While the trial has yet to take place, many experts are speculating that it may be very possible that the former Emperor, the man believed to be the mastermind behind the bombings that rocked our nation's capital, will be found guilty, and will be given the death sentence. Meaning that he most likely will be executed by a firing squad, or by deathly injection. The man had fallen from grace when it was revealed that he was involved in the planning of the tragic chain of events, something that was very, very unexpected. His family has not released a statement regarding the shocking news, but it is more than likely that they are devastated because of what he has done. An inside source close to the Emperor himself has revealed that he (the Emperor) especially, has been emotionally scarred by the crimes committed by his father. We, at CNN will keep you updated on this story as it develops. |

Car accident now classified as murder  Earlier tonight, CNN-TV had reported that a car had crashed into a tree just outside the town of Birming, in the North of Cohdinia and that it had been classified as an accident by local P.D., since it seemingly had crashed into the tree at high speed. But closer examination of the vehicle, and body of the driver revealed that it most certainly had not been an accident. Two bullet holes were discovered in the driver's chest, not long after the body had been extracted from the wreckage. Current belief is that the driver had been assassinated. The identity of the driver is yet to be revealed by police officials. More as we get it. |

 Prison Transport attacked, three prisoners executed, one missing  About half an hour ago, a prison transport that was transporting four prisoners in total has been attacked by unknown assailants. Four guards and three of the prisoners, including the man who had planted the bombs during the infamous palace and justice department bombings, have been found dead on the side of the road, just a couple of feet away from the transport vehicle with a bullet hole in the back of their necks. The most notable prisoner that also had been on the transport, was former Emperor David Rhys, the mastermind behind the two bombings. Eyewitnesses driving behind and in front of the prison transport vehicle, stated that two black SUVs appeared out of nowhere, and opened fire on the vehicle with automatic machine guns. After the vehicle came to a halt, all people seated in the SUVs exited their respective vehicles and forced the driver and his co-worker to leave the vehicle and open the back doors. One of them refused, this led to the first unfortunate death. Once the driver had open the back doors, two of the guards opened fire on the assailants, presumably wounding two of them. This, led to the execution of the three remaining police officers. Once the prisoners had been removed from the vehicle, the three prisoners mentioned before had been executed as well, only leaving David Rhys alive. The bodies then had been dragged to the side of the road, before the assailants took off together with their wounded ally, and David Rhys. The attack was described as if it were a military action, since the whole ordeal had only had taken less than a minute in total. David Rhys and the three other men were supposed to be transported to Blackwater Prison, south of the capital where they would await their respective trials. Government officials have refused to comment on the tragic event, and no new information has been released to the public, yet. We will keep you updated, as this story develops. |

 Emperor and lover gone surfing .. and not on the internet!  image courtesy of anonymous Keek userIt seems like the Emperor has been having a lot of fun lately with his best friend/boyfriend, Ashton Kernan lately. He has been taking the young man with him on various international trips to, for example East Moreland and Mavrosia, which both ended up being very successful. And, has done many activities together with him as well over the past couple of weeks despite the couple of personal tragedies haunting him. Today, they have gone surfing at an unnamed beach by the Mhórish sea. And judging by the video Mr. Kernan posted on Keek, the happy couple had a lot of fun! Sources close to the Emperor note that although it may be a little early in their relationship, the Emperor has been envisioning a marriage, and future with children together with his close friend. While we do not know if Mr. Kernan would say yes, when the Emperor will pop the big question to him, but we certainly would like to think he would answer it with a big 'YES!'! Because honestly, who wouldn't say yes to the most attractive Emperor there is in all of Mundus? |

Dead body found near Aedeon River, presumed David Rhys. In other news, rumor has it that the body of David Rhys has ben found near the Aedeon river in the south of Cohdinia, it is unsure, however as the body was burnt severely beyond recognition. A telephone, and a small stack of papers found nearby the body, however, suggest that it is David Rhys, former Emperor of Cohdinia and conspirator against the Cohdinian government, who had escaped from Blackwater Penitentiary last week after the transport containing him and three other prisoners had been attacked. We have reached out to the Imperial family, but they have refused to comment on the apparent passing of their father and husband. How the man has been killed, and why remains unknown. An official investigation has been started by local police, but it is presumed that they will not put much effort into looking into what happened to a man branded as traitor by the Cohdinian Empire. More, as we get it. |
