Needless to say, Martin Astronicus III, our Chief Architect, a Decedro Togas's friend and protected by him, is dead a few hours ago.

He didn't able to cope the pain of the death of his Lovely Dictator and his heart collapsed suddenly.

He's dead without having the joy of seeing his projects realized. How sad is it !

And the current political situation don't allow to hope his architectural views realized by me, his son. I'm preparing to be enrolled in the Spanish forces, and to go to the front.

Since several months I am teaching my assistant, the brilliant Pedro de la Alcantarilla, all the secrets that I learned from my father. He will continue my work as Governor of Barcelona and will stay there until my return. I hope that our new Enlightened Despot, Augusto Togas, will bless this devoted man and trust him.

I, Aidun Cian the younger, want to report the death of my father Aidun Cian the older. He died two hours ago.

I think he must have been deeply shocked by the death of some of his closest friends: Despot Decedro Togas, señor Clemente and señor Dejon.Yesterday I prayed with him for their soles. I found him dead when I wanted to bring him the news of the death of señor Astronicus.

I always remembered this little poet that my father once taught me:

Moon may thee shine
from my birth and forth
In all the days of my youth

Moon may thee shine
on all days of joy in my life
on my son and on my wife

Moon may thee shine
when I'm old and weak
And may thee let me find
what I ever wanted to seek

Moon may thee shine
on my very last day
no more time is left to stay
I leave this world behind

Moon may thee shine
upon my last place to rest
when I've fulfilled my quest
And my sole returns to thine.

Now that my father is dead, the priesthood of Luna el Salvador shall pass to me.

May his sole find a last place to rest. May the graceful Luna el Salvador feel mercy for his sole. May he sit at the right hand of the graceful Luna el Salvador, among our ancestors of old. May he be long remembered and live forth in our hearts.

I wish to report the death of Gastronome Neecap. Horrified by the reports of everyone dying, he decided to get some of the spotlight as well, and jumped off the roof. Therefore, yet another great man is buried today, alongside all four hundred other people who died directly because of the Despot's death.

His son, Gastronome Neecap III, has taken over as the new head of the Butling at the Calamari mead hall.

Oliverius Fernandez, the former slave master, died while he was sleeping last night.

He would have followed Decedro and all his fellow clan leaders some time ago when they departed to the other world, but he felt the responsibility to stay here and help the new leaders with his advice and knowledge. Now that Spain feels (a bit) more safe and the young leaders have proved their value, he can leave, knowing that the empire is in good hands. He went to join all his friends from the previous generation.

His son Roberto Fernandez humbly asks you to pray for his father's soul.

Everywhere, temple bells rang this day in memory of Spain's greatest commercial king, Hernan de History Guy Calamari the Younger. The old man was the greatest of all squid men. No one could fry a squid like he could. He died yesterday of natural causes, and shall be greatly missed by all those who knew him.

All of Madrid was present at the huge funeral today. As the fires were lit, and the High Priest said the prayer, Hernan's heavenly spirit was plainly seen lifting up to the heavens. That's pretty good, eh? I was pretty happy with that, anyway. However, the rest of the day was pretty miserable. Some wondered if the old guy would ever croak and leave the family fortune to the eldest son...err...I mean he was so old that it was expected. What a sad thing it was when it came...

I thank you all for being his good friends. Finer men no man ever knew.

I thank you, Nuclearius. You know, my father always thought of you as a brother. Of course, it was his opinion that everyone was a brother, except the slaves, and the rube who murdered Senor Jordi Pikesfan, were brothers. Of course, he didn't think too highly of barbarians either. Or Neu Demogypticans (except his good friend Picahulu), and he positively hated Ottomans and Chinese Warmongers. Well, I don't think he quite like the Persians either. Or the Egyptians. He had a higher respect for Carthage, but after taking a look at their religion, he lost it. Well, at least he liked some Spanish people...

The Matriarch is still pretty upset, but the rest of us can make it to the big funeral bash. It'll be a fun, solemn evening for everyone, with interperative dance. Hmm...come to think of it, I may just want to go to the wine table and stay there all evening. Ah well.

Well, at least we can be sure that my father is exalted for eternity in good old Valhalla!

He was placidly lying down, in bed, his hand on my hand, in his residence of Barcelona.

Col. Sanchez de Plaguates was killed today as he resisted conversion to the new Christian God. Witnesses of stoners mob state that he was cowardly beheaded from behind, by some nobleman, before they even got to stone him. He was armed with one sword and a buckler, in which he did not get time to use. His father, Don Plaguatez is mobilizing a his 'employees' for the vendetta... He is suspecting another clan and now he is pursuing the death of one Winterius clan-member.


Sanchez' dead body quickly became buried in rocks. At this fateful day, his soul was rejected by the new God, and sent on his way to El Diablo. Suddenly, as he left the pearly gates, a foxey lady appeared and grabbed his soul... "Put on the red light!"
- Her spell roared throughout the Spanish empire. Our Ancient God, El Grande Puto, then left the Spanish empire forever... With her, she took Sanchez' soul into her astral plane, and now, our poor old spaniard spends his eternity with cheap hookers, funky tunes, and lotsa booze... like he wished.

My dear father, Giovanni de Plaguatés known as the merciful forgiver, died a few days ago in a Visigoth village, as he was trying to convert these poor souls. Not all the villagers appreciated the coming of God allmighty... And at one point someone planted an axe in his skull. His apprentice Georgio la Fugazi, escaped the village and brought me these sad news.
All that he wanted during his last days, was to unite with God...
We will ask the church about whether he will become a saint. Well, services will be held this Sunday.

I have the painful duty to announce to you the death of the first Commander of Spain, Don Pelayo Astronicus, which was mortally wounded with the throat whereas it sharpened its sword. It will be buried tomorrow.

To the pain felt by this tragic death, comes to be added the deep sorrow which I feel by reading his last wills, into a parchment that it had entrusted to my mother after her visit of the dying Augusto Togas:

"I do not wish that my son Constantino succeeds me at the post of General. He is too young for this station and I saw too much blood in my fight against the enemy barbarians of our empire to wish him to have to endure these same experiences. Instead, I order to him to deal henceforth only of our family, the town of Barcelona and to seek the Graal"

Of course, I think that my father was taken by the emotion to see Augusto dying, but I anyway take his warning with serious, fearing that it is not about a sign of the destiny.

In order to clear up the situation, I ask king Justino to allow myself to leave for a time these functions which I recently started to assume. I need to withdraw me in a monastery close to Barcelona to meditate on the words of my father and to understand that mystery of the Graal.

I hope that the Cardinal Tacticus will be able to take care of me. I will leave the monastery only one time per week to ensure me that the management of the businesses of Barcelona is made correctly and that my family has all which it needs.

I thank the king as well as the noble ones for Spain to understand that the situation is exceptional and that I must save my soul first of all.

Sadly, Diego Clemente passed away centuries ago. The incident with the three cows did not kill him, though that experience did wound him for a time. He died, seemingly, of natural causes. I suppose there will likely be speculation as to the exact cause of his death all the way into modern times, when some smarty pants will get the idea to go digging around and determine using modern technology that he died of something rather dull like cancer, debunking at least two dozen crazy conspiracy theories that remain popular.

Just my guess, though, you understand. The family hasn't exactly kept great records on such things either.

Since he was last time seen many centuries ago, the family of Ricardo Fernández have to, sadly, declare him dead. Last time he was seen he was investigating the strange disaparitions of some other Spanish nobles. It seems that he found what had happened to them, but he was not lucky enough to tell the others.
