Readers might recall that not so long ago this same world was exchanged from the Ordos to the Poritrin in a deal whose political ramifications are still being felt.

Crest of House Eleusis
In a smoothly performed coup that is becoming a rare sight today, Alexander Eleusis took away the burdens of governance from his less than competent brother. The former Marquis is reportedly in good health and unharmed, having taken the place of heir in return for his cooperation. Already the change in management is visibly noticeable as the rebranding and disbandment of the old technocratic institutions takes place.

In a move that was as surprising as it was sudden, it was announced today that the Emperor had decided to award the newly christened Baronetchy of Gangishree to House Ecaz. This after the Ecazi had boldly requested said fief in a petition to His Majesty. Many thought that such a brazen request from a family so recently returned from disgrace would be doomed to fail.

Shogun Li-Han Ziyaira, after recent set backs in his family's fortunes, has decided to step down in favor of his son Shen Ziyaira. This after the family ceded control of the governorship of Arrakis and had gone into a brief period of isolation from galactic affairs.

Rumors are surfacing about a potentially radical development from within House Ophelion. According to rumor, children fief-wide are being removed from their families and labor responsibilities in order to be given what have been called "civics" lessons.

House Alexin has finally done what many had predicted they would do: begun military operations against the rebel cities of Kratos and Kerameikos. The decision has dismayed many among the aristocracy, especially those who have given public or tacit support to the rebel cause. Loyalists, on the other hand, hoping to capitalize on the downfall of Governors Damokles (Kratos) and Adelphos (Kerameikos), have quietly begun to line up behind House Alexin. The Count appears to enjoy some degree of popular support, but this will surely erode quickly if military advances are not made forthwith.
