Abington Whipped In Meldeen

Abington and its followers were beaten back by combined forces of Tara, Cagilan Empire, and Darka in Meldeen tonight. Though outnumbered, the defenders in Meldeen put up a stiff resistance, sending the Abington-led forces back in disarray. The battle was huge according to reports with 52,000 for the attackers and 42,000 for the defenders. Leader losses on the Abington side were high, most notably, Spiritmonger, the High Marshal of Abington, Count of Chasnoff is in low spirits tonight as he makes his way to a Cagilan Empire prisoner camp somewhere north of Meldeen.

Phony War

Ash Sea Islanders have been enjoying themselves in the capital as negotiations continue. Many friendly duels were fought and much Mapan ale was consumed. Visitors from afar were somewhat taken aback by both the drinking prowess of ASI troopers and their willingness, nay eagerness, to put each other's eyes out for fun during the down times.

Abington Draws Out Diplomatic Talks

Abington officials requested more time for discussions due to various problems in the Triple Federation's junior members. Namely, the status of the rulership of RedSpan. Many of the Ash Sea Islands nobility viewed the situation as simply a tactic to drag out negotiations. Much like the situation during the war on the islands while the Abington looting campaign was ongoing.

Editorial Abington and allies continue to show themselves to be a danger. Coordinated efforts are needed. Even with many realms bent on showing them the error of their ways, the Triple Federation has still proved itself dangerous to all by pushing half of the combined armies back. If the Triple Federation cooperates closely, and their enemies do not, they will be victorious even if outnumbered. It is to the individual benefit of all the foes of the Triple Federation to communicate and cooperate closely until this thing is finished.
