PRESIDENT DIES TODAY AT DRAS LEONA:
At Caphten Hospital, we have just received reports from the Presidential Advisor that the president died about half an hour ago. Aedrius Handroff Wexen was 36 years old. The military is still searching for all Araza operatives in Dras Leona, where the president was shot. They have blocked all exits from the city, on land in in the air. People leaving Dras Leona are thoroughly searched and their possessions inspected. In the airports, security is high, and guards have sharp eyes on everyone. So do the metal detectors. In the sky itself, there are intelligence planes watching Dras Leona closely. Aedrius's body was transported in a pod back to Husken, where officials carried the body into Tialdari Square and inside a building. His funeral will be held on Monday. Aedrius Handroff Wexen was the best president a country could have. he struggled to defeat the tax legislation made by the Royal peace Assembly and their corrupt politics. All are invited to his funeral in Tialdari Square.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS BEGIN IN MISTMANTLE:
Since Aedrius has died, the Royal peace Assembly will lead Mistmantle. But that will not last long, for their leadership will end when the presidential elections end. The prediction of Aedrius's death has hastened the elections. Now that he is dead, all the assemblies have submitted their candidates. Elections will begin in the state of Antonia, where the capital city is located. They will start next Monday. Here is the list of presidential candidates:
Royal Peace Assembly: Tagus Yewn
International Affairs Assembly: Genji Maurin
Environmental Assembly: Rokan Polline
War Council (newly formed):Undin Hearth
Faith Assembly: Rev. Grolan Khan
Economic Assembly: Irwin Corfus
Census Assembly: Faine Dacken
Civil Rights Assembly: Joram Kathy

THE MISTMANTLE SCROLL

PRESIDENT IS SHOT BY UNKNOWN ASSASSIN:
Breaking news: because of extreme security and heavily guarded information, the Mistmantle Scroll was unable to report on this immediately, but we have just been confirmed that the president has attemptedly been shot. This occurred at a site where the Araza was extremely active. President Aedrius was in a meeting on advice on how to consider the Influenza War with the War Council. Shortly after he left, the president was suddenly shot in the back by an expensive new type of weaponry, the laser bullet. It is strong enough to blow a hole in anything---or anybody. He was rushed to a hospital in the nearby city of Dras Leona. After the incident, the War Council also disappeared mysteriously. Investigators suspect that they may have been Araza operatives who had murdered the original War Council members and then disguised themselves as the War Council. The Royal Guard has refused to release information about Aedrius's condition, but rumors are that the nurses and doctors are still checking on him. The military has received a few more funds to search for the people responsible, and so is the MNP, the Mistmantle National Police. All this has created suspense in the government. The Royal Peace Assembly has now called for all other assemblies to elect their candidates for the presidential elections, since they fear that the president is in no condition to lead. Only one assembly has announced their candidate---the International Affairs Assembly, which has chosen Genji Maurin as their candidate. More will be released as soon as more information is revealed.

MISTMANTLE SPACE AGENCY PRESENTED AT CEREMONY IN HUSKEN:
The announcement of a space agency at the beginning of the month stated that the MSA would be completed at the end of this month. The Mistmantlean Space Agency was presneted in a marvelous ceremony in Husken. All people who wished to come were allowed inside the Hall of Presentations. After a PowerPoint presentation of the MSA, the Head of the Space Exploration Assembly stated ina firm and joyous manner:

"By the approval of His Majesty King Aedrius of Mistmantle, the humble Royal Peace Assembly, and the noble officials and members of the Space Exploration Assembly, we hereby proclaim the foundation of the Mistmantlean Space Agency."

Some screamed. Some leaped for joy. Everyone smiled.

HUSKEN TOWER IS COMPLETED AND UNVEILED:
The MSA is not the only completed project presented today. The Husken Tower was finished before the projected completion date, August 31. It's silvery sheen caught the light, so it looks like a silver tower that shines golden rays from the exterior. Inside a system of fifteen elevators is in, the color being matte black. The 1,200 ft. tall structure is divided into four sections. The first is Shopping and Advertising. It is like the Mall of America, with stores of all kinds in this section. The second section is Business and Meetings. This features offices available to buy for companies that need headquarters. This section also has meeting rooms if businesses or government leaders need to hold conferences. The third section is Condos and Residence. It has condos and apartments available for rent, and also living quarters that people can live in permanently. Room service is provided, but to buy foods they must go to the first section to shop. And last, but not least, the fourth section is called The View. It is only the top of the building, but the view from this 1200 ft. tower is so spectacular, it is considered a section. You can see for miles around. The Husken Tower will be a popular tourist destination for a long time to come.

COMMUNIST REBELS STRIKE MAGORRAN AND HUSKEN:
In the late 1800's a communist rebel organization was formed, called the Araza. (see in Culture, History, and Religion forum the topic, "History of Mistmantle,") There has, of course, been recent extremities that have been performed by the Araza, like the two Communist Wars in the past century. But today an Araza strike force of 7,00 soldiers raided the city of Magorran, near Husken. They looted many valuables from museums and stole thousands of dollars from the local banks, subjecting the buildings to destruction with rocket launchers and grenades. They also scurried away with many weapons from the military training base just outside the city. The Araza attempted to sack Husken as well, but was bravely defended by Mistmantlean soldiers. The cost of damage is 3 billion Anemone marks.

Nothing else newsworthy is happening around Mistmantle. Shame.

NATIONAL QUIGGER GAMES BEGIN IN HUSKEN:
The National Quigger Games have begun. Contestants from all over Mistmantle are flocking to the capital, Husken, where the first Quigger matches will be held. Good luck, players! (see the Games forum for info on how to play Quiggger)

ROYAL PEACE ASSEMBLY AND THE KING APPROVE OF BUILDING OF HUSKEN TOWER:
King Urchin and the Royal Peace Assembly approved the construction of the Husken Tower, a 1,200 foot-tall tower. Its outside will look as if it is silver, gleaming in the sunlight. This enormous undertaking will cost 435 million Anemone marks. The tower will be a waonder to behold after its completion!

NEW KING CROWNED AFTER KING URCHIN RESIGNS:
The former King of Mistmantle, Urchin, has stepped down from power today, saying that he was too old to continue leading Mistmantle, considering he was 71 years old. National studies show that 98% of the people agree that Urchin's son, Aedrius, should be King. The result was that just this morning he was crowned to be the leader of the people. And amazingly, all this happened in a matter of hours. Long live King Aedrius of Mistmantle!
