Famous crime reporter Pieter R. Vries dies nine days after being shot in Aemstell.

I wasn't aware one could survive getting shot for that long and then dying.

Is there a reason places like Xinjiang, Indochina, Burma, Bruneian Malaya (tbh you should split the subdivision into Brunei and Sarawak), and Melanesia are revolting other than "the enemy's influences" Maybe you can compromise with them a bit so some stuff gets lifted off your shoulders

Two top Government agents suddenly disappears, the only things left at the place of disappearance are their accessories and two children. The children are suspected to be linked to the agents.

"Goodness, but to use violence on such a scale as warring with a different realm due to issues with employment seems so very rash.... Also, what is 'PMC' supposed to stand for? Where's Frisia, what is this Timor Republic, and what in Goddess' Hylia's name is the EIC? This confuses me to a point you cannot understand."

- Izik, Hylian citizen of Hyrule Castle Town -

Rumors spread across Hyrule Castle Town of a plan, headed by the proprietor of Telma's Bar... Well, Telma of an unofficial revival of the 'resistance' that was a notable force during the Twilight Era, a group that had aided the Hero of Courage in infiltrating the Twilight-Coated Hyrule Castle in order to challenge and defeat the Twilight King.
Some theorise it to be a soft reboot of a different function of what the 'resistance' stood for, to explore Hyrule and it's lands, including the many mysteries that it contains, of which back in the day was to search for anything valuable to help the fight against Twilight. If it is to be so, it would be an adventurer's guild dedicated to discovery of Hyrule's mysteries... This is most certainly nothing official at the time, but perhaps in the near future it may still be so...

"I don't get how a PMC gets to 'declare war' on a full-blown republic - heck, in my country, not even the President can do that willy nilly. But even if they could in the customs of your timeline, why would 'we need more workers' be a valid casus belli? For all I know, mercenaries- uhm, PMC's don't really like to fight, unless they're being paid to do so. Also, invading somewhere certainly doesn't bring you more workers."

"Embezzling money intended for a project... yeah, that's foreseen in most cases. You don't just outsource the funds and hope for the best, you need the Central-fucking-Government, or in Spain's case, the State Government. In order to prevent embezzling, in my honest opinion, you need the State Government overseeing both ends and having the major hand in affairs, probably for the better, to be honest... but not in weapons design. Dear god, not in weapons design."

Another accident has occurred on the road to the Fleur Montage Apiaries, killing Old man Hugo. It appears as though the wagon was capsized either on purpose by something or was capsized in order to to run over something. Since then, it has come to our attention that it appears a reaper had been at the site, mourning the loss, any more information can be appreciated.
