| Twin Empires vanquished |
November 30, 2009 |
| Responding to Raivan Empires aggressive take over of Nimh, the armies of Xinhai marched into Croton, and began assimilating its populace, while at the same time, trying to retake Nimh. Libero Empire had just finishing refitting, and Raivan Empire had gathered a large host in Aegir's Deep. The stage was set for a conflict between all three powers, The battle of Croton. Xinhaian scouts detected a massive force, of over a thousand warriors approaching Croton from both White Plains(LE) and the Deep(RE). The forces in Croton were trapped. Xinhai abandoned the takeover of Nimh, sending all its warriors toward Croton. They set up defenses, awaiting the onslaught at dawn. The battle was bloody, and lasted three hours. However, it ended in a decisive victory for Xinhai, once again. Battle report available in the comments. |

| Libero Empire crushed |
November 23, 2009 |
| In a surprise assault last week, The twin "empires" of Raiva and Libero invaded Xinhai, immediately starting a take over of the lands of Bohai and Nimh. They claim that they are protecting their ally, Aquilegia, from Xinhai, the purported aggressors. It is quite clear that the empires are only seeking to expand their territories, as they were not allied with Aquilegia until after the Xinhai-Aquilegia war began, and to take advantage of the weakness of Xinhai. Xinhai faced a three front war, one with Libero Empire, one with Raivan empire, and yet another with the Aquilegians. However, they bravely fought these odds, and crushed the entire army of the Liberans, in the greatest battle these lands have seen, forcing them to beat a hasty retreat back to Springdale. The battle report is available in the comments. |

| Madina's Preemptive Strike on Terran |
October 23, 2009 |
Messages received last week point to the reason for the Madinan attack on Chesland. The Madinans claim that the Terrans were planning on attacking Madina, and that the Madinan attack was a preemptive strike. The following messages from both the ruler and the general of Madina detail the reasons.
| Letter from Tacin Uskarik |
| Message sent to the Rulers of Dwilight |
Rulers of the Land,
There is little "surprise" behind this defensive action undertaken by Madina, unless you mean that your time was not wasted arguing the petty details once the Land Owners of Madina had decided that they'd seen enough evidence that Terran has long been working to frustrate our efforts, from the constant rebellions in Paisland to the evidence our Court Master has uncovered that indicate that they poisoned our previous Lord Purser to frustrate our attempts to coordinate the delivery of food to Paisly and Paisland, never mind the reports from our admiral of growing forces on our borders that did little to suppress the beasts of the land, forcing us to have to go into their borders to prevent them from terrorizing our people, nor ever seeming to deliver the supplies to Ordenstaat as they occasionally claimed to be attempting to do.
We did not allow them to bring force to bear against us, but there is little surprise in the choice of policy for those who it actively concerns about the decision of our land owners to stand for our defense. |
| Tacin Uskarik (Grand Doge of Madina, Baron of Lugagun) |
| Letter from Vallyn Rothach |
| Message sent to everyone in the region Chesland |
Marshal Vesna;
We have been provided with some very conclusive information, along with a large amount of circumstantial proof that has led to this. It has long been known that Terran has sought the lands of Paisland and Paisly and what we have been shown only further confirms this.
We shall take what we desire from your lands in retribution for your insolence, your continued dispays of vulgar commentary shall only worsen the retaliation we shall impose. I would be most dismayed if you continue with this path.
We are only raiding your lands at the moment to remind you that such foolish notions as placing the control of Paisly under another Realm -- either yours or another -- shall invoke our wrath."
Do not make us decide that this shall be a war -- you do not have the forces required to protect your lands from the beasts of the woods, much less an organized force should we opt to bring the majority of our forces North. This is but a mere expedition, not an army bent on your destruction. |
| Vallyn Rothach (Lord Admiral of Madina, Marshal of the Madinan Ducal Guards) |
The attack by Madina on the region of Chesland did not have the desired effect, however. Several days after the attack, the realms of D'Hara and Terran joined in an alliance, and mutually declared war on Madina. |

| A Heretic's Rebellion |
October 13, 2009 |
Approximately two months ago, Sir Garret Artemisia was convicted by the Magistratum of Sanguis Astroism for willfully deceiving the Magistratum during his earlier trial for heresy. When Sir Garret failed to comply with the judgment within a reasonable amount of time, the Magistratum declared Sir Garret a heretic, and expelled him from the faith.
Two days ago, Sir Garret initiated a rebellion against the government of Aquilegia, a theocracy of Sanguis Astroism of which which Sir Garret was the previous ruler. The Council of Lights has declared that any follower of Sanguis Astroism who joins the heretic Garret in rebelling against the lawful government of a theocracy of Sanguis Astroism will be tried by the Magistratum for heresy against the faith. Prophet Mathurin himself declared that should any heretic succeed in overthrowing a theocracy of the Bloodstars, that a holy crusade would be called, and the Warders of the Temple would march to restore the lawful government. Fortunately, the rebellion was poorly supported, and woefully understrength. The rebels were quickly defeated and banned from Aquilegia. Lady Sara Clearwater, Cleric of Aquilegia, has declared that should the heretic Garret be captured, he will be executed fore his traitorous actions. |
