In the days, weeks and months leading up to the end of 2008 Lazarus went through some exciting events...

Lazarus High Chamber Elections![/color]
On December 13th 2008 the Steward of Emerald City, Drop Your Pants, started the election process (after some poking and promises of beer from keen Lazarenes eager to get involved). The High Chamber elections would potentially shake up the four elected positions that lead involvment in the four main areas of the game; Internal Affairs (Steward of Emerald City), Foreign Affairs (Advocate for Foreign Enticement), Defence and Intelligence (Guardian of the Realm) and Public Relations (Director of Public Relations).

After much chatter and rumours flying around the region on who would run for what, it finally became apparant that we would have a core group of six personalities fighting it out for the four available positions. As always, the whore of the elections was the elusive Abstain, who went for every position available. Contending with Abstain for the position of Guardian of the Realm would be Ann, and Drop Your Pants fought it out against Abstain for the Steward of Emerald City. This left Ged Senski to fight it out for the two remaining positions of Director of Public Relations and Advocate of Foreign Enticement with Pope Lexus X and Red Back respectively.

After a tense campaign, where very little was said and even less thought, the extremely high turnout of six voters finally cast their ballots. The results were announced by Drop Your Pants as follows...

Well we're finally finished, after i started making it up as we went along Congrads to all elected

Director of Public Relations - Pope Lexus
Advocate of Foreign Enticement - Ged Senski
Steward of Emerald City - Drop Your Pants
Guardian of the Realm - Ann

The candidates and voters enjoy an old fashioned party to celebrate the events[/i]

The Return of a Legend
On December 22nd 2008 an old friend, a founder and one of the true forgotten legends of Lazarus returned to our shores. Lies Incorporated (twice former UN Delegate) announced his low key return to the region in the thread documenting the history of Lazarus. We are all hoping that Lies will feature more in the region in the future and will at least stick around to see what has become of the place that he helped create into the region we know as Lazarus.


As always, Lies Incorporated gave little away when posing for his portrait[/i]


As the new members of the High Chamber get settled into their offices and roles, we are happy to announce the return of the Lazarene Gazette with its new editor-in-chief Lexus and have been promised a seedy tabloid to cover the all the dirt of Lazarus in the near future. It is also rumoured that key members of the region, including Seneschal Viceroy Victorious, will be probed and prodded in interviews to be published to our friends and neighbours as well as in our own news rooms. Keep your eyes peeled for future events...


Finally, we apologise for the delay in this foreign update and hope that you will not have to wait too long for the next.

Yours,
Ged Senski
Advocate of Foreign Enticement
