| After much due consideration I have decided to reopen the Democrat. Quite a bit has happened in Fontan since are last publication, and recently quite a bit of turmoil has hit. I will try and briefly recap what has happened since our last publication.
After the loss of Avamar we kept the war in a stalemate for some time, before it turned south. We eventually signed a peace with Perdan, Caligus, and Westmoor. The contents of the treaty can be found here. Sirion and Old Rancagua were left out of the treaty after Sirion went behind their allies backs, and offered us a separate peace in which we would ally against Perdan, Caligus, and Westmoor. We continued the war in the north versus Sirion and Old Rancagua with our allies the Sultanate of Asena. After some time, we signed into an alliance with Westmoor, and they joined in the war. Old Rancagua was destroyed, the Sultanate took over their capital and last city of Oroya. We continue to make marginal aginst against Sirion.
Durring this time, Lady Katalynfae replaced Lord Mikhail as Chancellor, and Lord Mikhail has since disappeared. Katalynfae's brother Zadek replaced her as Chancellor for a time, after she was struck by lightning. I replaced Lord Malfurion as Minister of Defense, then was replaced by Lord Jon Paul. After some controversy, and an assassination attempt on his person that left him seriously wounded, Lord Luke replaced Lord Jon Paul briefly. In the ensuing election, which occurred this morning, I replaced Lord Luke. Minister of Finance Elberan, and Supreme Justice Duncan both still maintain their positions.
Now on to more recent events. In the past few weeks, Fontan has been thrust into turmoil. It started when Lord Jon Paul, then Minister of Defense, called out Lord Sulliven and the Lions. He was upset over the Lions retreating from battle in Sermbar, when he had asked them to stay. After awhile this calmed down, and it was voted that the Lion's maintained tactical freedom.
Before the debate over the Lions had ended though, more controversy struck. Lord Jon Paul, who had recently become a member of The Church of Ibladesh, declared that the Flow of the Balance was no longer allowed to preach in his region of An Najaf. This turned into a heated debated with insults flying between the two factions, mainly between Lord Sulliven who supported the Flow, and Duke Richard who supported the CoI. The Flow declared the CoI evil, and began a religious war, which is still bring harm to Fontan's regions. It was eventually voted that the Flow was to have preaching right in every region in Fontan, while other religions would need the lord's permission to preach in a region.
In the midst of both these controversies, there were calls questioning General Jon Paul and Supreme Justice Duncan, though both were quelled.
After the controversies, quite a few nobles mysteriously disappeared, including Lord Sulliven and Duke LionHeart.
