It's almost a bit hard to remember who is allied with who, who is fighting who, and what they're fighting about.  With RedSpan now at war with Ash Sea Islands, things have gotten that much more complicated.  While most RedSpanners are happy (or outright elated) that they are finally retaking Rogeshore, a few nobles have voiced their displeasure with the offensive, calling it dishonorable and underhanded.

The most outspoken is one [[Al'akor_Family|Min Al'akor]], a somewhat new RedSpanner, who unlike the general populous of RedSpan, is not a follower of Da One.  This, combined with her claims that RedSpan is being underhanded in their war with ASI, has caused a couple of other nobles to voice their displeasure, and distrust, of the Lady of Al'akor.  Below is the letter that started it all.

Atamara in Turmoil
15th April
The wars in Atamara have broadened in recent weeks to the extent that RedSpan is now the only realm in Atamara not to be involved in what seems to have become a continent wide struggle stemming from the initial conflicts in the north. Indeed since the time of the publication of our last issue, Abington, the Cagilan Empire, Carelia and Talerium have all managed to get involved in the Northern Conflicts in one guise or another and diplomacy between the realms of Atamara has become increasingly volatile and unpredictable.


The most solid demonstrations of the general diplomatic breakdown have been seen in King Dead Angel3's sermons that all of Norland is filled with evildoers who ought to be killed on sight, thus whipping up a frenzy of hatred against Norland in Minas Ithil and the recent weakening of the Southern Federation as detailed below. The eventual outcomes of the Minas Ithil vs Norland and Falasan vs Eston conflicts are in themselves, not so pivotal, but it seems the diplomatic maneuverings that have been taking place as a result of these wars will surely be felt for some time to come.

Trouble in the Southern Federation.
15th April
In a surprising move, Carelia formally withdrew from the Southern Federation over the weekend after spending several years as an integral member of the Southern bloc. According to diplomatic protocol, war was declared between Carelia and the remaining SF members immediately. However, King Kronos has already stated publicly that his kingom's alliances with RedSpan and Abington "will stand" despite his sudden withdrawal from the SA. ref


At this point it is still unknown what the official response of the remaining federation members shall be and whether relations will be restored to alliance as King Kronos wishes. Considering that Abington is already involved elsewhere, eyes are now on RedSpan and whether they will try to make a big deal over Carelia's actions.
