Against the Odds Battle in Inxi Date: July 1st 2008 By Boen In an incredible battle, the forces of Falsan and ASI fought the realms of Tara and Talerium from the walls of Inxi. There were 36 attackers and 18 defenders. The battle almost came down to the last man as the soldiers of King Jambo and Freidroch were all that remained on the battlefield. Since the battle more Tara and Talerium troops were seen coming into the region so the retreat was called. To see the details on this battle, turn over to the battle back page. The Atamaran Report Date: July 1st 2008 By Boen The Atamaran Report by the Falasan Inquirer will be a factual report on the current situation and recent past in Atamara. Filling in as much as we know, and maybe even offer a speculative question or two for the readers to ponder over. This report will also make great reading for any nobles wishing for news about our continent. Since early 2007 the Norland - Minas Ithil war continues to this day. After Minas Ithil captured several Norland regions and priests of Magnus were spotted in Barad Riel. The Barony of Makar and Eston, federated allies of Norland, have also joined the war against Minas Ithil. The regions of Barad Riel, Amriel have been captured by Eston, with Elost being captured by Norland. Peace offers have been made by both sides at different points during this long war. But done have been accepted. Currently the King of Minas Ithil, Dead Angel 3, is about to step down from his long time in leadership and will have a tournament to celebrate this. Dead Angel 3 has requested that Minas Ithil not be disturbed during this tournament. This action by Dead Angel 3 and tournament will be covered in another article. The war between Eston and Falasan has long since ended, and will not be discussed further here. But newfound friendship has been found between these two realms which its leaders fully intend to see grow. At present and peace treaty is being agreed upon. the realm Protectorate of Magnus, a religious colony founded by the Ash Sea Islands, has been destroyed by the combined forces of Caergoth, Suville and Carelia after a series of letters were sent by the rulers of these realms. Hopefully the Falasan Inquirer will be able to report on this by use of letters exchanged by rulers looking back. But before the Protectorate of Magnus was destroyed, a contingent of nobles traveled to Talerium and attacked the mountain region of Eagles Glen and sacked it. King Jambo has already made his knowledge on this incident clear in a letter sent to the Falasan Inquirer ( which can be found in the May letters edition ). Talerium, Tara and Carelia then declared war on the Ash Sea Islands. With Caergoth and Suville also declaring war. Falasan then sent the Black army to defend the then Ash Sea Island fortress of Aja. The defenses were overrun by the combined force of the attackers. But then quite unexpectedly the Cagilan Empire declared war on Falasan. Talerium and Tara then followed suite. Darka has been hired until what is guessed to be September by an unknown realm to fight against Falasan and the Ash Sea Islands. The realm of Tara has relocated its government to the captured city fortress of Aja.
