                             The Illyriad
Free Times  

   An occasional
publication for the edification of our readers throughout Elgea.

The Free Times began as a small publication to bring news to
the cities of the LWO alliance during the war with BSH.  However copies soon began to circulate far
more widely and the editor began to plan a larger print for the second edition.

Then he was expelled from the LWO along with the majority of
members. He appealed against this and was re-admitted. The LWO had shrunk to a
membership of four by then and the small group of towns in which he lived
became the target for a sustained diplomatic attack by BSH and soon began to
run out of resources.

A decision had to be made and thus the editor left the LWO
and became a free agent once more.

Unfortunately BSH diplomatic plundering attacks continued
and the resources to enable the paper to be published became at risk from the large
numbers of orc thieves as they easily overcame the tiny rune defences.

The only option was to move the press from the Consulate
into the Cowshed, which as most Elgea citizens know is safe from roving
burglars, as livestock cannot be carried away. 

And so the Free Times has survived in the Nefflik Cowshed
and is now ready to continue providing fresh and informative news from time to
time.

It is hoped that the punitive actions by BSH will soon cease
as they realise that Nefflik and its two smaller companions are no threat
whatsoever.

In case you, the reade, have not yet had a chance to
see the first two editions of the  lyriad Free Times, they are
reproduced below.

Edition No. 3 is now being planned and we are pleased to
announce that several new features will be included.
