News on the Campaign on Perdan

The Campaign on Perdan struck deep into the enemies territories, hitting Lorient, Clermont, Ar Mosul and many more regions with a force not usually seen this far south in the East Continent. In an exclusive interview with a hero of Itorunts army who wished to be kept anonymous, the troop leader said "We hit them hard. I dont think they will recover easily from this blow, given that our army marched all the way around Aix, cleared out all the Militia, razed fortifications in at least one region and looted their taxes and burnt their food. They will be waiting a long time before they can secure that front again. Oh but it was fun; you should have seen the amount of Perdan forces whou ran at the very sight of our army!" His brother, who also wished to be kept anonymous, said "I think we could all look back on this and tink that we did a damn good job of clearing out our enemies. Though we lost many men, Perdan lost many more. The inspiration for this campaign came from Auroudu the hawk, our recently appointed high marshal and marshal of the army of Itorunt, and the Paladin Primus of Ibladesh, Barzelli, both great men, who both deserve a great amount of praise for their actions." However, not all went well, and minor trouble was brewing between the two nobles Aurum and Lord. Lord, who was not especially inclined to be friendly, was arguing with Aurum over the state of war we had been in previously, said "war is war" in response to Aurum stating "Yes, we were at war with them (Perdan), yet we didn't have an official war. We could have gone on that way." After the return of our lady Celeste the next day, countess of Aeng, Aurum and Lord were again discontent, with Lord telling Celeste and Aurum that "no one cares" about them, to which Aurum replied sarcastically "Thank you. It is deeply appreciated. Your overwhelming sense of duty to make me remember something so inheritantly important shall never be forgotten" In spite of this minor disagreement however, the campaign went on and was successful, and the army is currently reforming to relaunch an attack.

The next moves? What the army thinks

Today the Itorunt Informer took the liberty of asking several average troop leaders what they thought of the armies plans. While a few were discontent, most were happy with the organization of the army. "If we didn't like the way it was run we would have stayed at home and protested," said one soldier in Itorunt's main army. "As it is now, the realm has been run very well, our General worked in tandem with the rest of our hierarchy and our allies Paladin Primus, and the effects were devastating to Perdan." However, when he was asked what he thought the army would be doing next, he mumbled excuses and finally revealed that he "didn't think that Auroudu would be pleased if he told". However, in another interview with a knight of one of Itorunts core regions he said "You can be sure we're not going to let this one go. We will attack Perdan soon, but I cannot reveal whether we intend to head back to recruit and resupply or whether we will just wait until Perdan moves out to attack again (i.e., we are misdirecting)." When asked about rumours of looting a hero said "Well, you can look at it this way. Ok, so it may have been wrong to loot. But hey! I am certain that Perdan would do the same to our allies, and even do the same to us if they could fight their way through. So while we spared them their puny regions from takeover, we were not about to let our enemies go quietly."
