| − | While the conflict between [[Caligus]] and [[Yssaria]] has undergone one of those all too brief pauses while the combatants gather their breath before engaging once again, the other fronts of this continental war have continued unabated, and the recent events would seem to support this reporters [[Red Star Courier/6-06_Page_2#We_are_winning:_Here.27s_why|recent arguments]] as regards the progress of said war. The events that have transpired have occurred along the two fronts on which Perdan is threatened directly. [[Red Star Courier/6-06_Page_2#Around_the_Front|Read more..]]
| + | Readers, I wish to thank you for a smashingly successful first month of busniness. Around 280 copies of this paper were sold last month, despite the fact that we started selling the paper halfway through it. It is my ambition to make this paper reach ever more successful heights, with your loyality and invaluable support. Again, thank you. |

| − | The sun set both on the East Island and on the attempt by [[Caligus]] to regain the offensive today, as Yssarian forces beat back their attempt to take over [[East_Continent/Aureus|Aureus]] while simultaneously defeating them in [[East_Continent/Supra|Supra]] after being defeated in an earlier battle that morning.

| |

| |
| − | ''As used by this paper, the word "features" refers to articles that are not straight out news coverage, but are not meant precisly to prove a point or an argument as an editorial would. Features may contain opinions and interpretations of facts, but are meant primarly to enlighten, elucidate, or amuse. Biographies, short histories, etctera, are features. With that said, we bring you what we intend to become a regular feature of our paper "Why we fight." Quite simply, these will be short pieces by the troop leaders and nobles of Yssaria explaining what motivates them to fight in the war against Caligus, Perdan, and Ubent.

| − | <br>The seemingly endless war on the East Island is now moving into a conclusive phase due to a number of trends that have been clear over the last three or so months, and these trends, if they continue unaverted, spell defeat for Perdan and her allies.

| − |
| |
| − | With the rising of the sun this morning came the successful completion of [[Yssaria]]'s attempt to take over [[East_Continent/Tokat|Tokat]]. This success came after an earlier attempt had failed to establish secure control of the province. During the last three or so months Yssaria has retaken [[East_Continent/Supra|Supra]] and [[East_Continent/Aureus|Aureus]], temporarily took over [[East_Continent/Aestus|Aestus]], and attacked the [[Caligus|Caligan]] capital of [[East_Continent/Domus|Domus]].

| |
| − | I am proud to announce a new newspaper in the East Island, The Red Star Courier. Based in Yssaria, we seek to bring the latest news from around East Island. While our news coverage will naturally focus on a Yssarian perspective, and have an inevitable bias in favor of our own realm, we will seek to report the news in as professional and unbiased a manner as possible. We will also offer editorial analysis of events as well as more traditional editorials, which will be indicated as such appropriately within our paper. Our goal is to raise the standard of journalism and discourse in East Island and provide news, analysis, and opinions in an enlightening and interesting manner.
