          • Spring 551

          At the begining of this new year, Baron Heirl Diem deceided to send two caravels with some troops to the coasts of Aduria to explore this desert land. The ships quited Aerele under a bright sun, and all expected a quick return. But this small, peacefull fleet was crushed by the big and evil fleet of the Gorgon who was here at the same time... The fleet of the gorgon was eventually destroyed by the ships of the Chamberlain, but all Diemedan mourn the loss of these brave sailors.

          This season, the Baron tried to increase the population in center Diemed, by allowing the farmers to expand their exploitation. But the wizard Hermedie used foul magic to oppose this, and the farmers were frightened and stoped their expansion. The Baron was very angry about that, and confirmed the fact that Hermedie is outlaw in Diemed.

          To ensure the best security to the Diemedan, Heirl Diem reinforced the patrols in all Diemed, reorganising the guards post in several towns of the baronny. Cooperation was seen between the Diemedan soldiers, and some men loyal to Darien Avan, and present in western Diemed.

          Lassica Diem, the daughter and only heir of Heirl Diem, was seen in the province of Bliene, during the last month of the season. People say she discovered a new source of meighvail.

          Considering the merchant in Diemed earn a lot of money, the Baron announced a new tax, applicable on all guilders of the country. Shortly after this announcement, el-Hadid accepted this and signed an official agreement with the baronny.
           
           

          • Summer 551

          The Diemedan ships intercepted a fleet coming from east, and sailing toward the City of Anuire. After inquiry, we discovered that it was a fleet coming from Khinasi lands, and bringing four new Roele in Anuire. The Baron was the first to meet them, and to talk with them. He then escorted this fleet with Diemedan ships to the Imperial City, presenting them to the Chamberlain.

          One third of the territory of Diemed was blessed by Haelyn. The people appreciated a lot this fact, and the Orthodox Imperial Temple and the Baron beneficiated a lot of this.

          After the first guilder el-Hadid, a second merchant signed an agreement with the baronny, it was Orthien Tane.The same tariffs were accorded, and this merchant also accepted to become the vassal of Heirl Diem, in exchange of his protection.

          Some Diemed diplomats were seen in Tuornen, Endier and the Imperial City of Anuire. No one knows if they negociated something with these countries.

          After the move of Hermedie against Diemed, the Baron tried to find the sources of this wizard. But this one was very well hiden, and the Diemed's men failed. However, Lassica Diem continued to increase her influence in Diemed.
           
           

          • Automn 551

          This time, Heirl Diem decided once and for all that Hermedie had no rights to control the magic in Diemed lands, and decided to remove her completly from Diemed, at any cost. During three months, the Diemed soldiers explored every inch of Diemed territory, and finally succeeded in removing all Hermedie influence in this land.The Baron was pleased, and his daughter continued to expand gradualy.

          A strange elf leaved the forest Spiderfell, severely wounded and half crazy. Diemed soldiers rescued him and bring him in Aerele. No one has seen this elf since.
           
           

          • Winter 551

          This season was a hard one for all Diemed. It was however a pleasant winter, but many Diemedan died... During the first month, allied with other strong regents of the southern coast of Anuire, the Diemedan navy bring several units of soldiers to Albiele Island, held by the Gorgon. The figth was terrible, but we were forced to reply, lacking enough artillery to assault the castle on the Island. Thanks to Haelyn, few Diemedan died during this battle.

          But the most terrible began the next month. Standing against the evil assault of Boeruine, Heirl Diem engaged nearly all the forces of the baronny against the armies of Boeruine. Allied with several other countries of Anuire, the Diemed army was nearly as big as the one of Boeruine and the puppets countries under his domination. The fight was terrible, many men died, and there were spells casted everywhere, as many wizards and priests were present at the battle. Eventually, the Diemed army was forced to retreat in Diemed, and we lost the battle. Boeruine is weak however, as he loosed also nearly all his army, and many allied regent died.

          The most sad event of this war is not the defeat. It's the death of the loved daughter of Heirl Diem, Lassica Diem. Calm and good, all Diemed appreciated this young woman. All the population mourn the loss of Lassica, and the Baron can't be consolated... The barony has no heir actually, and the Baron is said to think about a new solution. Will he choose a trusted lieutenant ? Will he try to marry again ? No one knows... The funerals of his daughter were simple and with few spectators. She was burried in the Haelyn's temple in Aerele, with Lavalan Briesen, who also died during this war, leading a company of Haelyn's Knights...

          No one knows what will be the next decisions of the Baron. As his daughter was killed by one of the new Roele, now the wife of the Archduke, as the Archduke killed one of his best friends, Lavalan Briesen, as the Archduke destroyed a part of the Imperial City, Heirl Diem has many good reasons to continue the fight. With a new warrior lieutenant from the Sieman familly and moves against the holdings of Endier (said allied to Boeruine) in Diemed, the war seems the probable option for again the next months...
