Pythium Baby-Killing Alleged

Inland (ONN) Rumors continued to surface alleging the wholesale slaughter of infants in territories conquered by the Pythium military. Sources, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals, indicated that Pythium standard practice after conquering an enemy province is to put to death any children who might grow up to avenge their father's deaths. The heads of widows of fallen soldiers are shaved, and the harvested hair is used to stuff the pillows of the conquerors.

Reaction from neighboring governments was swift. "It's a clear continuation of Pythium's rampant militarism. After the tragedy of Solian, is anyone truly surprised?" said a source within the nation of Man.

Following Pythium's explosive territorial expansion, diplomatic channels have become more active with calls of condemnation for the so-called "renegade nation." While no nation will go on record as openly calling for a multilateral intervention in the situation, privately, great concern is being expressed in the back hallways of government of all of Pythium's neighbors.

A representative from the government of Pythium could not be contacted for comment before press time.

Marignon Defends Culture of Life

The LORD has forbidden men from raising up the dead, and has given us an example in Ermor of what happens when foolish prides causes us to forsake His wisdom.

It is the policy of the Church of Marignon not to side with the tergiversators who are known to practice death magic and thus imperil the souls of men. This means no trade of materials or information, no mutual defense agreements, and no alliances against a third party. The best such heretics can expect is a frosty peace while the Church chooses to focus on greater threats.

If an offending nation is willing to relinquish the use of the death magic: using neither undead soldiers, nor artifacts made with death gems, nor casting dark rituals, then Marignon will resume normal and friendly relations and work to convert that nation peacefully.
