First readers, this editor must beg forgiveness for the silence of this newspaper over the last week. This was caused in part by this editor being captured in a Skirmish in [[East_Continent/Winkamus|Winkamus]] some days before the now infamous battle of [[East_Continent/Domus|Domus]]. After that, I was far too busy trying to arrive in time to actually write an article. I will also confess that it is more difficult to bring the spirit to write when one must write about loss, rather than victory.  But unfortunate and difficult truths faced make for a stronger spirit over a stubborn insistence to cling to a fantasy of actions not based in that truth, even in the face of the fact that such action may in no way change the course which events have flowed and must continue.  To bring a different outcome, a different set of actions must be begun, words that all would be wise to heed.

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.
  
−
All that aside, it has not been the best week for [[Yssaria]] or her allies.  We had assaulted Domus previously, but this latest assault was quite possibly our most serious attempt to bring this long conflict betwixt our two realms to a final close, and bring an end to [[Caligus]] and her history.

==== Why I Do Fight ==== <small>--Contributor: Falcor Blade, Knight of Isadril July 15th, 2006</small>
+
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. 
−
<small>''Feature''</small>
 
  
−
A battle has been raging on this continent for many years.  Many have lain down their lives, giving the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the security of Yssaria and her people.  By all accounts, given our recent excursion into Caligan territories, we are winning this conflict.  Yet now, at the height of our advances into enemy lands, there are those who would question our strategy, those who would rather have peace than conflict.  While it might seem as though ending hostilities with the Caligans might stop the fighting and sacrifice, in truth doing so would only weaken our strategic position on this continent, thus making our lands and citizens less safe rather than more so.
+
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.  
−
I have, in fact, counted the number of soldiers that have died as a result of the fighting.  These are noble men who gave their lives so that our lands may be protected from invasion by the enemy.  These men upheld the very tradition of valiant combat that our realm was founded on, and critics of our diplomacy are so quick to ignore.  Instead of asking how many have died, we should be asking what they died for, and how many lives they saved through their sacrifice. Furthermore, are not these men solders?  They join our forces precisely to fight, and perhaps, die in defense of their homes.

==== Advance and Retreat ==== <small>--by Aeillien Mandraken, July 12th, 2006</small>
+
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.
  
−
The army of [[Yssaria]] returned to [[East_Continent/Domus|Domus]], the capital of [[Caligus]], attempting to bring a decisive close to the war that has engulfed the two realms.  A combination of the high walls of the city and portions of the intended attacking force not arriving as planned foiled the attack.  At the end of the day after two bloody, hard fought engagements, the Caligan defenders held the walls and forced the Yssarian army back.
+
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.
  
−
Yssarian forces marching from [[East_Continent/Supra|Supra]], fresh from refitting in the capital, and [[East_Continent/Aestus|Aestus]], abandonding the attempt to takeover [[East_Continent/Sordidus|Sordidus]] were supposed to meet up in Domus and achieve a victory there. While it is unknowable what would have occurred had all the Yssarian forces arrived in Domus at the scheduled time, it is certain that the split arrivals effectively allowed the bigger Yssarian force to be defeated in two engagements in detail.
+
One thing must be said..if LOF can survive this war then it will be a miracle indeed.

−
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.
  
−
Continuing what has been a very bad period for Perdan and Caligus, Yssaria successfully beat back the Caligan forces.  The Yssarian forces, again outnumbered in solders and troop leaders but with superior quality, caused lopsided casualties against Caligus and gained decisive control of the field.  Yssaria kept its momentum from the victory and marched forces into Sordidus and has begun an attempt to establish control over the region.  It is not yet known what effect, if any, these developments will have on the negotiations.

==== 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 ceasefire 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. 
+
Dread from Ibladesh -beats- Blood from Ibladesh
  
−
Let me first deal with Ubent, as it the simpler situation of the two.  The negotiations for this peace agreement have been in the works for about a month, and the nobles of Ubent voted on the agreement, with a majority voting in favor, as is the custom in Republics.  It should be noted that the Prime Minister of Ubent had recently been reconfirmed at the beginning of this month.  Although this reporter has no sources that indicate this, it strikes me as logical that the election would have been, at the very least, a referendum on the peace agreement.  In his announcement of the treaty, the Prime Minister of Ubent noted that he expects it would take one or two weeks to come into full compliance with its terms.

==== Rebellion in Caligus! ==== <small>--by Aeillien Mandraken, July 2nd, 2006</small>

Winner: Dread

<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]] continued its attempt to take over [[East_Continent/Aestus|Aestus]], cannot but be seen as a setback to the Caligan war effort. 
 
−
Vlad Nosferatus is an old hand in Caligus and has been part of the inner circle of power in that kingdom for quite some time, having been appointed Banker several times, as well as holding the titles of Marquis of Tokat and Duke of Akesh Temple.  At the time of the rebellion he was publicly known to be part of the “outer council” a group of nobles who advised the Queen in addition to the Judge, Banker, and Marshal.
 
  
−
It is worth noting the history of rebellion of the Nosferatus family here, especially in connection to the province of [[East_Continent/Tokat|Tokat]], from which the family hails.  Vlad’s father was a leader of the rebellion on Tokat when Fontan took over the region.  His father was executed, but Vlad and his brother continued his work.  Of the three, Vlad became the most well known for his commitment to Tokat, as well as his commitment to Caligus when it took over that region, becoming known as the “Hero of Tokat.”  It can only be guessed how the damage inflicted on Tokat during the war with Yssaria affected him.  This reporter was present during Yssaria’s takeover of that region last month, and he recalls the land being deeply damaged by war and nearly depopulated.  Even less can it be imagined what his reaction might have been to the loss of his beloved Tokat to Yssaria, its declaring independence from both realms and going rogue, and its subsequent capture by [[Light of Fountain]].  Whether it is this, or some other motive that caused him to lead a rebellion against a government he was so much a part of, is not known.

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.

==== Tournament in Domus announced  ==== <small>--Blade Donivan, 24 may 2007</small>

<small>'''''Editorial'''''</small>
  
−
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.
+
Prandur, Duke of Domus has announced a tournament of Swordfighting to be held in Domus 7 days from now.
 +
There will be a charge of 5 gold for every participant. The winner will be rewarded with 400 gold in addition to the honour and prestige that his victory will earn him. There will also be a reward of 50 gold for the second best.
  
−
The terms of the treaty give Winkamus to Yssaria, the Mines of Isadril to Ibladesh, and Moyale to Itorunt, as well as limiting the size of the army that Ubent may field, on top of having it withdraw from its alliances with [[Caligus]] and [[Perdan]].  As of this report it is not known by this reporter how long the negotiations for this agreement have been going on, but it is suggestive that the Ubent front of the war has been quiet for about two weeks.  The full text of the agreement follows:

The following message was sent out to the realm after the announcement of the tournament:

==== Victory in Aestus ==== <small>--by Aeillien Mandraken, July 2nd, 2006</small>

Soon I will be celebrating my 45th birthday. To honour this milestone of ago, I have organized this event. It would bring me great pleasure to see my friends at this tournament. Don't hestitate to enter the competition.

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 region.  The response from [[Caligus]] was at the same time both expected and surpring.
+
Prandur
 +
Duke of Domus
  
−
It was expected that Caligus would respond to the offensive, that followed as certaintly as sailor’s shoreleaves and bar brawls.  What was surprising was the almost suicidal nature of the attack.  The Caligans came in outnumbered by better than three to one in sheer numbers, with Yssaria’s infantry alone outnumbering the entire Caligan army.  [[The Rampant Lion]] reffered to it, aptly, as a “desperate move.”  Unlike the great romantic ballads beloved by some ladies of noble birth, desperate moves in the real world are born, usually, out of a lack of any other resources or solutions, and ingloriously failed.  This one was no exception.  The attacking force was wiped out in two hours of lopsided fighting, with over half a dozen nobles of Caligus being wounded as they fed their units into the waiting defenders.  Going into the details of the battle is unnecessary, it was, from the beggening, a lopsided contest, with a clear winner, the only question is what drove Caligus to make such an attack, and whether this latest move on their part may have, perhaps, been of consequence in the troubles they seem to have recently suffered.
+
We here at The Red Star Courier wish Sir Prandur the best with the tournament and if time permits we ourselves shall attend in competition and also to bring you our readers the results as and when they happen.

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.
+
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.

==== Tournament in Domus announced ==== --Blade Donivan, 24 may 2007 Editorial

Prandur, Duke of Domus has announced a tournament of Swordfighting to be held in Domus 7 days from now. There will be a charge of 5 gold for every participant. The winner will be rewarded with 400 gold in addition to the honour and prestige that his victory will earn him. There will also be a reward of 50 gold for the second best.

The following message was sent out to the realm after the announcement of the tournament:

Soon I will be celebrating my 45th birthday. To honour this milestone of ago, I have organized this event. It would bring me great pleasure to see my friends at this tournament. Don't hestitate to enter the competition.

Prandur Duke of Domus

We here at The Red Star Courier wish Sir Prandur the best with the tournament and if time permits we ourselves shall attend in competition and also to bring you our readers the results as and when they happen.

==== All is quiet or is it ==== --Blade Donivan, 23 may 2007 Editorial

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.
