reaking news: Thousands of Vital citizens and heroes are making pilgrimages
to ancient shrines that many claim have "awakened" and are performing
miracles. Although references to these relics are scarce, expert studies
that are currently being conducted by scientists and religious authorities
in conjunction with the Vital Government are producing amazing results that
some say may be highly useful in our ongoing conflict with neighboring races
and the unusual mercenaries that they have employed. For more information
on this new development check out the latest report that was presented to
the
High Council.
21 June
he Joint Research Group (JRG) has disclosed its recent studies of
pale
threat.
The experts managed to categorize the mysterious creatures by
weapons and outfits. Here you may take a glance to powers of the first group
with rather weird name - samurais. Rumors say the vital researchers could
summon some of these beasts, but failed to perform full transition.
The list given below shows abilites, power, toughness and estimated casting
cost of the pale aspect creatures with artist concept of
their appearance.

eported sightings of a mysterious woman dressed in red and riding a great
cat have prompted allusions to the prophetic return of Diamanda. Historians
in the Great Library have provided us with a picture of her that experts
believe is over two thousand years old. The picture matches descriptions of
a woman warrior that has been often seen in both nearby and distant regions.
Many are now asking if the ancient prophecies are true or is someone just
pulling an elaborate hoax? We'll be following this story and reporting and
new information as it becomes available. In the meantime you can get your
own copy of the ancient artwork formatted for your desktop
here.

ncient artworks were recently uncovered in a dusty and forgotten archive of

his just in! Ethernews 2 has just received exclusive information from a
high-ranking member of the Learned Council. The Vital Joint Research Group,
better known as the JRG, was able to intercept and decode a Synthet
transmission regarding their rumored Weapons of Magic Destruction (WMD)
program.
Security officials are still trying to determine whether or not
the message and
video is authentic or part of a larger disinformation
campaign targeted against the Vital race. The information obtained from the
recording seems to confirm previous reports from citizen sightings that
authorities have tended to discredit as unreliable and improbable. Read the
transcript
here.
14 May
n an unannounced session of the Vital Security Council today Eilin, Mage of
Vitality, addressed the body saying that she has confirmation that the
Synthets are developing a Weapons of Magical Destruction program (WMD).
While concrete evidence has not been offered, she gave the Council a
letter
from highly respected hero Nadan, who claims that he is a victim of the new
Synthet weapon.
Nadan is currently hospitalized and listed in critical
condition. Doctors give him little to no chance for survival. Stay tuned
for the full text of the letter as well as our artist's depiction of what
this new Synthet menace may look like as well as
three shots showing similar
sightings of this new menace.

of the
