Island Chronicle/2011/January
| Arcaea stoops to falsehoods | January 18, 1011 | |
| MiLord Kings and High Lords of the Far East,
As you know there have been accusations of torture made by Arcaea against the nation of Arcachon. As you are also surely aware, they have been losing the war aginst us and so it may be unsuprising that they desperately wish to blacken our name. The nobles so shamed by their capture have likely concocted this, to compensate for the fact that the mighty Arcaean army has now lost 7 battles to a much smaller force. I do not merely make this claim in logic, but also make evidence, which any who follow the realm-wide imprisonment records shall know. Indeed, I have ecvidence which may be recollect and verified, while Arcaea speaks of rumours from prisoners, some of whom have fled the continent entirely. Indeed, why would we torture them when they are set to flee this land? I would remind my lords of a very important fact, a tortured noble cannot escape his bonds, as he is rendered too weak. With greatest shame I offer both letters and reports of our failure to contain prisoners. Prisoner escaped (9 hours, 52 minutes ago) Brendan has vanished from his cell in Enlod! The guards are being questioned and witnesses searched, but it is likely that he has already left the city. Prisoner escaped (7 days, 9 hours ago) Silan has vanished from his cell in Enlod! The guards are being questioned and witnesses searched, but it is likely that he has already left the city. Prisoner escaped (6 days, 9 hours ago) Bertrand has vanished from his cell in Enlod! The guards are being questioned and witnesses searched, but it is likely that he has already left the city. Prisoner escaped (1 day, 9 hours ago) Espeth has vanished from her cell in Enlod! The guards are being questioned and witnesses searched, but it is likely that she has already left the city. Prisoner escaped (2 days, 9 hours ago) Selenay has vanished from her cell in Enlod! The guards are being questioned and witnesses searched, but it is likely that she has already left the city.

| Arcaean armies pushed back! | January 15, 1011 | |
| The first major engagement of the war took place in Tuhpos, where the Arcaeans brought their full force to challenge our mainland possessions. In a great battle, the Arcaean aggressors were vanquished, their great host decimated. Later, after they returned from a refit, another large Arcaean assault force was driven back from Unotosa, against all odds. The war machine of Arcaea still hasn't fully recovered from the blow it faced in Tuhpos. Arcachon has proven it is not to be trifled with, the invaders wont be able to steal our lands without a fight. | ||

| War! | January 2, 1011 | |
| After a prolonged period of aggression and sabotage against the island folk, the Arcaeans have finally made their intentions clear, declaring war on the Islanders. Not a week ago, they sent their "traders", lead by the thief, Selenay, to the Isle, who misappropriated food meant for a festival in honor of Omorthion. Sir Ryuutarou Bakos, one of their saboteurs, then began the mass slaughter of militia stationed on the Isle. In retaliation, Sir Herunumen attempted to keep Selenay from disposing her ill-gotten food, yet failed. Then, their assassin, Faust Cryfdwr Kabrinski was caught red handed trying to murder Sir Gwailor of Arcachon. Their game exposed, Arcaea demanded the expulsion of Sir Herunumen who had defended Arcachonian integrity, threatening war against the Isle. Yet Arcachon did not bow to their will, and on the second of January, the Imperialists of Arcaea declared war on our people. | ||
