News Ridding the Continent of Some Tuchies Igrand Bitterstein, a former noble of the realm of Tuchanon V, chose to join our realm. We're not quite sure why, but he was deported to the continent of Atamara by the wise Judge of Itorunt, Sir Ryndhal Nabarl. Shicron Guarilla, a Tuchie infiltrator, was also caught yet again by our forces recently. He was first banned from our realm just under two months ago, soon after he joined Tuchanon. Just fifteen days later, he was caught again, this time being deported to Beluaterra by the very same Judge Ryndhal. It seems he returned to the East Continent again early this year, his ban having been dissolved with his deportation. He clearly hadn't learned anything - as often seems to be the case with Tuchanon - and once again joined the realm of Tuchanon, still an infil. He was caught early last week and subsequently banned... And seems to have been caught again within the past few days. This time, however, with Tuchanon's blatant disregard for past agreements and complete lack of honor, Sir Ryndhal took more drastic measures. His relative Abdiel was forced to beg for the release of Shicron in a letter to King Lucian: Greetings Sir Lucian Vincent, King of Itorunt, Count of Jariedma, I write to you in out of respect for one of my infiltrators. He was captured while traveling through Tota. He was not doing anything against any of your knights, but just on a scouting mission. I would like to ask for his safe return. He was not practicing any of the dark arts but just scouting. Respectfully Abdiel Guarilla Dictator of Tuchanon V, Earl of Igno Honestly, I can't see how he can even consider that we would release him just like that after what Tuchanon did to our nobles... Not even any sort of statement that their judge had been in the wrong with the execution of several of our nobles. Judge Ryndhal had no other choice but to execute Shicron Guarilla yesterday, at the least to serve as a deterrent to other members of Tuchanon and to remind them what their realm's dishonor has cost them. Sir Ryndhal made the following statement on the matter. Three of Tuchanon are no longer on this island. Two were sent to far lands, the other was executed in our capital. I do not undertake executions lightly, and this was done only because Tuchanon have demonstrated, through both words and actions, that they have no honour. Regards, Sir Ryndhal Nabarl Judge of Itorunt Let us hope Tuchanon will learn from their mistakes and submit to Itorunt, however futile that hope may be. --Ichigo Another Execution The realm of Itorunt suffered another great loss today when it received the sad news of the death of one of our nobles. The official report follows: Messengers bring news of a public execution in Isadril earlier today. Geoffery, a troop leader of Itorunt, had been banned from Tuchanon V as a traitor on 2008-02-04. When he was later imprisoned, the judge of Tuchanon V decided to make him pay for his treason. It is unfortunate that Tuchanon lacks honor as well, as they have proven before. It would seem they are no better than Ubent. King Lucian managed to use this tragedy to motivate our people against the evil that has manifested itself in the form of Tuchanon V, giving an inspiring speech to the people of Itorunt. As one of our nobles noted, "That is the only way they can win, by cowardly executing our best warriors!" Duke Fortin had some comments regarding this turn of events: They are truly barbaric and must pay for their evil deeds. Today is a sad day. I mourn the loss of such a great soldier and Tuch V will pay for a taking such actions. May [the Judge of Tuch V] meet his end slowly and painfully. Fortin Wexler Duke of Semall, Marshal of the Army of Semall And as I'd thought for the second time in the last month, there was also an agreement with Tuchanon's judge not to execute our nobles (as they had done with Olorin as well. Judge Ryndhal kindly provided the Itorunt Informer a copy of the letter he sent to his fellow judges: Another demonstration of a realm ignoring an agreement, with Tuchanon executing one of Itorunt's finest without even speaking to me... That is two realms now that have shown so much dishonour that they disgust me, my realm, and many others. There will be no mercy towards either Ubent or Tuchanon now and as both of you have shown no regard for the agreement we had, I shall now take it officially that we do not have an agreement, and as such, as that agreement is no longer in effect (as of now, not as of a few days ago or this morning when you chose to ignore its existence) you can expect anyone from your realms (Ubent and Tuchanon) to be dealt with in the contempt that you have made them deserve. Regards, Sir Ryndhal Nabarl Judge of Itorunt Judge Ryndhal seems to have gotten some sort of reply from the judge of Tuchanon, and it's pretty clear about its intent; it can be found below. I meant what I did, and accept the apparent "would be" consequences. Eleran Perfect II Judge of Tuchanon V I guess Tuchanon's willing to accept its destruction... Let's hope they receive it quickly. --Ichigo Dayr Gets a New Baron Duke Fortin of Semall appointed a new lord for the region of Dayr today. The new Baron of Dayr was announced to be Thray Walsh. Duke Fortin wished Thray the best of luck in restoring the region, and both Tito Lucrezio Livia and I praised his administrative abilities and expressed our confidence that he would take good care of the region. Baron Thray also delivered a short speech thanking those who congratulated him and giving a small status update on the region. An excerpt from his letter follows: I am grateful to Duke Fortin for restoring me to the privilege of land-ownership. I accept the responsibility that comes with this honour and resolve to execute it to the best of my ability. I would like to take a moment to thank those who offered their congratulations and goodwill. I am grateful for your words of encouragement. The prison colony Dayr will be restored to working order soon enough. Many feel this region is too small to be productive, I am convinced, however, that I can garner more than enough revenue to support the necessary estates. I will do my best bring it back to the efficiency that was maintained by the late Lord Garrick. Thray Walsh Baron of Dayr As a fellow former marshal, I myself am good friends with Thray and am fully confident that he will do well for the region. May the people of Dayr serve him loyally. --Ichigo A New Lord Appointed, An Old Lord Disappears Sir Lazarus the Valiant Keenan, the Baron of Dayr, was officially considered by government officials to be missing as of a day and a half ago, and he was removed from his position. Almost immediately afterwards, King Lucian appointed a new lord for Tota, Itorunt's first gain in the lands of Tuchanon V after having retaken almost all of our former regions that had been taken by Tuchanon. This new lord was reported to be Darg Eldreth, a loyal knight of the realm. He received many congratulations on his new position, and has served the region well so far. The II wishes him the best of luck in maintaining the region. --Ichigo
