Huge Battle Fought  (6 hours ago)
 +
Rumours spread and tales are sung about a huge battle in Fontan:
 +
Fontan vs. Light of Fountain
 +
Estimated combat strengths: 40000 CS vs. 23000 CS
 +
Lionel, Count of Commonyr was captured by Light of Fountain forces.
 +
Requiem (Noble of Fontan) was captured by Light of Fountain forces.
 +
Guis'wa (Noble of Fontan) was captured by Light of Fountain forces.
 +
Harald Ericson (Noble of Light of Fountain) was captured by Fontan forces.
 +
Basilius, Minister of Defense of Fontan, Count of Morshes was captured by Light of Fountain forces.
 +
 
 +
Attacker Victory!
 +
 
 +
With the recent report of a succesful attack by Fontan on Light of Fountain the trumpet sounds of victory for Fontan seems only an earshot away. 
 +
 
 +
Although heavy casualties seems prevailant on the Fontan side with no less than five nobles one of which being Basilius the Minister of Defence being captured this brings one to speculate if the Victory was at too great a cost.
 +
 
 +
If Fontan has lost their General to the prisons of LOF then who will take charge in his absence and will said person be able to crumble or surpass the walls of Fontan once again.
 +
 
 +
In the up and coming days we will watch and see if Fontan can hold onto their recent victory or if they will have to trundle home rearm and refit then march back for round two of what seems a never ending seige.
 +
 
 +
One thing must be said..if LOF can survive this war then it will be a miracle indeed.
 +

==== Tournament in Domus Results  ==== <small>--Blade Donivan, 30 may 2007</small>
 +
<small>'''''Editorial'''''</small>
  
As negotiations between [[Yssaria]] and [[Caligus]] continue, the war marched onward in [[East_Continent/Supra|Supra]] and [[East_Continent/Sordidus|Sordidus]].  As they have innumerable times before, the banners of the two realms met in fury, once again filling the fields of Supra with the sounds of battle that have echoed there since first the red star banner rose over the cities of Isadril and Mashhad.
+
The tournament in Domus is over and the results are in with the semi finals consisting of 4 of the best swordsmen on the Islands and what more of notice 3 of them were Ibladeshian.. the swordsmasters have a reason to be proud as these excelent Nobles upheld their Realms name and with every right too. The following is a copy of my scribes note on the last two rounds.

Have you counted how many Caligus and Ubent soldiers we have killed in this war?
 
  
Have you counted how many Yssarian soldiers - men and youth, husbands and children of the Yssaria - we have killed in this war?

How many more must die just so that a select few can say "we won"?

==== Update on Ubent and Caligus ==== <small>--by Aeillien Mandraken, July 5th, 2006</small>
 
  
Since our previous report on the situation in [[Ubent]] and [[Caligus]] more information has come to light that we did not have at the time.  But first we wish to make something clear.  Despite the outright statements contained in [[The_Kalmarian_Chronicles/Edition:7#Twin_Surrender|some reports]] or the implications contained [[Old_Rancagua_Press/1st_July_2006|elsewhere]], Caligus has not surrendered or signed an official cease fire with [[Yssaria]].  Negotiations are in progress, what their results will be is still uncertain.  Yssaria has officially declared a ceasefire with Ubent, and there is a signed peace agreement, which has by now been widely reported.  Our diplomatic state with them is not yet officially peace, pending, as this reporter understands it, compliance with the terms of the peace treaty.

==== Rebellion in Caligus! ==== <small>--by Aeillien Mandraken, July 2nd, 2006</small>
 
<small>'''Breaking News'''</small>
 
  
A few hours ago this very day, a troop leader by the name of [[Nosferatus|Vlad Nosferatus]] led a succesful rebellion again the [[Caligus|Caligan]] Queen [[Kazan Family|Gwynyth Kazan]].  No details of the rebellion itself are known, or the aftermath that has followed it.  This rebellion, coming while [[Yssaria]] continues its attempt to take over [[East_Continent/Aestus|Aestus]], cannot but be seen as a setback to the Caligan war effort.  [[Red Star Courier/Page_2#Rebellion_in_Caligus.21|Read more..]]

Today, the southern federation of [[Yssaria]], [[Itorunt]], and [[Ibladesh]] reached a favorable peace agreement with [[Ubent]], apparently removing that realm out of the current conflict for at least the near future.  [[Red Star Courier/Page_2#Ubent sues for peace.21|Read more..]]

==== Victory in Aestus ==== <small>--by Aeillien Mandraken, July 2nd, 2006</small>
 
  
Late last month [[Yssaria]] went back on the offensive against [[Caligus]] by marching into [[East_Continent/Aestus|Aestus]] and initiating an attempt to take over the regionThe response from [[Caligus]] was at the same time both expected and surpring.

Unfortunatly my skill at the tournament has been nothing to shout about wether it be all the dougnuts i consumed or the fact i was completely drunk during my rounds in the ring i managed to reach only the second roundAlso a big thanks must go to my scribe Mr Nobbin who duly took note of all that was going on considering i was unconcious due to drink lying in the corner of the tavern.

In the East Islands years ago many wished for only one thing. That thing, that idea was that of a continent in peace.  The idea of peace or at least the thought of it tasted sweet to many.  Now months after the land has been at peace with the exception of the LOF versus Fontan war many nobles are getting restless.  It seems the lack of war and the thought of precious suits of armour and swords rusting isnt as appealing as many once thought.
 +
 
 +
The main question at this time is who will step out of line first? I personally believe that restlessness, greed or the desire for mass battles will overcome even the most patient of men.  We here at the Red Star Courier will keep our eyes and ears open and keep you our beloved readers up to date.

News in Brief


==== The Final call of arms for LOF? ==== --Blade Donivan, 5 June 2007 Editorial

Huge Battle Fought (6 hours ago) Rumours spread and tales are sung about a huge battle in Fontan: Fontan vs. Light of Fountain Estimated combat strengths: 40000 CS vs. 23000 CS Lionel, Count of Commonyr was captured by Light of Fountain forces. Requiem (Noble of Fontan) was captured by Light of Fountain forces. Guis'wa (Noble of Fontan) was captured by Light of Fountain forces. Harald Ericson (Noble of Light of Fountain) was captured by Fontan forces. Basilius, Minister of Defense of Fontan, Count of Morshes was captured by Light of Fountain forces.

Attacker Victory!

With the recent report of a succesful attack by Fontan on Light of Fountain the trumpet sounds of victory for Fontan seems only an earshot away.

Although heavy casualties seems prevailant on the Fontan side with no less than five nobles one of which being Basilius the Minister of Defence being captured this brings one to speculate if the Victory was at too great a cost.

If Fontan has lost their General to the prisons of LOF then who will take charge in his absence and will said person be able to crumble or surpass the walls of Fontan once again.

In the up and coming days we will watch and see if Fontan can hold onto their recent victory or if they will have to trundle home rearm and refit then march back for round two of what seems a never ending seige.

One thing must be said..if LOF can survive this war then it will be a miracle indeed.

==== Tournament in Domus Results ==== --Blade Donivan, 30 may 2007 Editorial

The tournament in Domus is over and the results are in with the semi finals consisting of 4 of the best swordsmen on the Islands and what more of notice 3 of them were Ibladeshian.. the swordsmasters have a reason to be proud as these excelent Nobles upheld their Realms name and with every right too. The following is a copy of my scribes note on the last two rounds.

Semifinal round:


Blood from Ibladesh -beats- Mathew from Ibladesh


Dread from Ibladesh -beats- Guis'wa from Fontan


Final Round:


Dread from Ibladesh -beats- Blood from Ibladesh


Winner: Dread


Unfortunatly my skill at the tournament has been nothing to shout about wether it be all the dougnuts i consumed or the fact i was completely drunk during my rounds in the ring i managed to reach only the second round. Also a big thanks must go to my scribe Mr Nobbin who duly took note of all that was going on considering i was unconcious due to drink lying in the corner of the tavern.

Congratulations to Sir Dread for winning and Sir Blood and Sir Matthew your skills with a sword have set a standard that we all must aim to achieve if we are to keep up with the Ibladeshian swordsmen.
