News Tuchanon... Again?= The Yssarian Duke Rackir of Isadril recently seceded the duchy of Isadril to create a new realm calling itself "Tuchanon V". We were able to find little information on the past Tuchanons (as we assumed four others came before this one), but we were able to locate a few sources regarding the history of Tuchanon, Tuchanon II, Tuchanon III, and Tuchanon IV. All four seem to have been located on the island of Atamara, where the original Tucha is located. King Lucian apparently made an offer to Duke Rackir giving him the option to join Itorunt with his duchy now, all former Yssarian nobles keeping their positions, and praised his experience. Duke Rackir drew his own conclusions and attempted to justify his actions in a letter which has been excerpted below: As you can see he wants Isadril. I have always felt a need to protect the peasants of Yssaria. Lucian will enslave the inhabitants, and execute its nobles. I will free the people of Yssaria this if I can. My actions might be drastic, but I have received a sign from our god. Just as the tree has come alive for the fifth time so will Tuchanon V. It was the sign from our god. He has given the children of Tucha a new home. I do this with the best intent, not for personal power. If I wanted power I could have been elected king instead of Prandur. I had much support without even saying I was going to run. In fact I refused the throne while I waited for a sign. We like Yssaria are not a warring people. We only wish to have a home and to be left in peace. But we will fight if we must. Hopefully something can be worked out to have peace with Yssaria. They are like brothers to us. I will be willing to talk peace with anyone. Once again I do not do this lightly. I did it to keep the people in northern Yssaria safe. For the Spear and the Shield Sir Rackir Spearhawk Dictator of Tuchanon V, Duke of Isadril Naturally, Rackir claims to be doing this for the people. He says it is the "will of Dunkontion", the misguided religion started in Yssaria. I also found it interesting that his new realm is a tyranny, Rackir their dictator... And he says this is the best for the people? Itorunt will do its best to bring liberation to the people of the duchy of Isadril and enlightenment to its nobles. --Ichigo And So War Begins As most of you know, several battles between Itorunt and Ibladesh have recently occurred. Itorunt attempted a peaceful liberation of Clermont, which was unfortunately thwarted. Ibladesh is at this very moment trying to take over my own region of Zawr. I will not let this stand, and will do my best to drive these invaders out of my lands. However, I report here to bring you more important news. The realm of Yssaria has refused the generous offer of a temporary ceasefire from King Lucian. It had stated it would not strike the first blow in the war, but apparently seems to have changed its mind. Yssarian soldiers are reported to have sided with nonhuman beings against Itorunt in the battle in Enubec. We now see where Yssaria truly stands. --Ichigo A New High Marshal Alois stepped down from the position of General one day ago. He stated his reasons as follow: I have grown to sick and tired recently to continue to properly lead this fine realm's armies into battle. Some discussions were held in the House of Lords as to who the new High Marshal would be. The candidates were narrowed down to Duke Fortin, Count Epaminonda, and I. King Lucian recently reached a decision and appointed the new general. This general was Fortin Wexler, Duke of Semall. I wish him the best of luck and hope he will lead the armies of Itorunt to victory, especially now that we have begun an offensive against Ibladesh. --Ichigo
