Sandalak crushes Ikalak!
Date: Oct 22 2005

Sandalak laid the trap in Abykal and Ikalak took it. Sandalak crushed Ikalak, maiming a few and killing two heroes. The battle took place in the morning. Ikalak had 13000cs and Sandalak had 11000cs. Ikalak tried to scale the walls, and some even got through, but Sandalak held their ground and pushed Ikalak back down the walls. After this victory Sandalak rejoiced and some even say Taselak heard them scream and celebrate. What is next for Ikalak and Sandalak? Will Sandalak take the battle back to Ikalak, or will they sit back and wait for Ikalak to come again and get slaughtered. Only time will tell.

Ikalak overun by Sandalak, Taselak takes more ground
Date: Oct 20 2005

Ikalak turned its attention to Taselak for two days and Sandalak used the opportunity to retake both Mewun and Triewa. This all happened when Ikalak finally took the fight to Taselak destroying a large portion of their army, followed by the re-establishment of control of Berakor to Ikalak. This was the first time since the treaty between Sandalak and Taselak that Ikalak has challenged the Taselak army in battle. It was not all bad new for Taselak however as they did manage to takeover and secure Neralle. More bad news came to Ikalak when a large expedition force was sent against the region of Abykal. However instead of finding the region lightly defended, they arrived only to find that the Sandalak force stationed there was much larger then they first thought, even so Ikalak still outnumbered the Sandalak force and would of easily overrun the walls had it not been for the new Lord of Abykal, George who had strengthened the walls so that they were increased to level 2. Ikalak has now regathered there forces and has amassed a huge army. This force has already crushed a feable but brutal takeover attempt of Unagae by Sandalak.

Ikalak rocked by upsurge in Treachery
Oct 25 2005

A new wave of treachery has rocked the great City of Ikalak as many nobles, the former Count of Kietrem, Moonglum of the Spearhawk family being one of the prime offenders in this new outbreak of disloyalty. After a series of crushing defeats at the hands of the Sandalakian armies in Abykal, some nobles lost the will to carry on under the banner of a city which they once called home. Among those to have defected to the infamous Boswick and his followers were Emmitt II, son of Emmitt I who died heroically at the hands of Taselak whilst acting as a deep scout behind enemy lines and most infamously the once highly regarded Count of Kietrem, Moonglum, a former Marshal of the army which had long protected the region which he took with him, In response to this troubling turn of events, Morgoth, the Duke of Ikalak City, has already placed a price on the head of this traitor, He was quoted as saying, "Moonglum lost his mind, He should fit in quite niceley in Sandalak". This upsurge of disloyalty among the great nobles of Ikalak, coupled with the losses of Abykal, Triewa, Mewun and Unagae have led Ikalak to its darkest hour as it fights valiantly to protect its sovereignty from the hordes of two barbarian invaders.

Dueling frenzy hits the island
Oct 20 2005

Duelling has been taking place all across the Island against both enemy and friend, with several Troop Leaders being wounded. All three realms have been dealing with this in there own way. Several reports place the Ikalak Troop leaders winning a majority of these duels against their enemies however this has not yet been confirmed. Currently no one has died from these duels however it is only a matter of time before fatalities happen. One can only imagaine the damaging effects to moral this could have if one of the major members of a realm was killed in this matter.


Sandalak and Taselak Agree to Crush Ikalak - More Details revealed!
Oct 20 2005

For the last few months Taselak and Sandalak have had an agreement to wipe Ikalak off the map. However until recently these details have been kept underwraps. The agreement made by Lonewolf, Taselak's King, and Alexei, Sandalak's Dictator at the time, decided that Ikalak had been far to poweful for to long. Sandalak's reasons include the attack of Toren stronghold and the arragonce of Ikalak asking Sandalak to "assist" them in taking Taselak city. Taslelak's reasons include the ability to retake all its land from Sandalak with no questions asked, and in general to survive as Taselak in its current state would not of been in any position to fight Ikalak without Sandalaks help. Terms of the agreement were origanlly laughed at when Ikalak noticed there was no end date to the contract. The more sinister meaning of this is that this agreement will only end when Ikalak no longer exists in any form. The Taslelak advance has been slow and steady over a long period of time slowly but surely conqering Ikalak's undefended regions. Sandalack's attacks have been much more brutal, using fear and terror as there main weapon in conquering the lands of Ikalak. Such actions on this scale can only be seen as evil but greatly effective. Reports of recent battles and looting raids speak of a massive man/ogre actually eating peasents and soldiers following orders from the Sandalak ruler Boswick. Are these terrifing reports Sandalaks true colours? Comments made by a Taselak troop leader says that "whatever is happening to the soldiers in Ikalak nothing can be more terrifing then a unit of Ikalakian War elephants trampling into your lines". Such actions are rarely heard of however as more often then not the elephants scared of the loud noises and arrows raining down flee from the battlefield before they can do any considerable damage.

The situation continues to look bad for Ikalak however while they still fight, there is still hope for them. As the fighting gets closer to Ikalak city the more ferocious the battles will become. More casualty on all sides are inevitable, but such is the fate of an Island where there is only war.
