Among other things I was wounded in Braga by Rhidana Dubhaine and Ariana of Fontan. My healers were more successful in removing the arrow this time especially after I suggested what could be done with it if they happened to repeat the mistake of last time. 1 June 1012 Monsters! Monsters have been seen in the region of Braga. The local population is requesting help and fears that the monsters will eat their food and destroy their houses. War! Sirion has declared war on us! Tournament Announced Nafsika Aroo, Priestess of Church of Humanity, Duchess of Aix, Margravine of Aix has announced a tournament of Swordfighting to be held in Aix 7 days from now. There will be a charge of 10 gold for every participant. The winner will be rewarded with 600 gold in addition to the honour and prestige that his victory will earn him. There will also be a reward of 300 gold for the second best All nobles of the continent are welcome on the tournament grounds on the day of this event. Make sure you announce your participation in time.  The War continues 18 June 1012 So what's been happening in Westmoor? Let's take a look. A few days ago the odds were raised in Westmoo'r favor when we won a decisive victory against Sirion in Greatbridge. Sirion's army has been somewhat less than we would have expected as of late which of course is a good thing. Rapist and duke of Avamar Erik Eyolf has been in Evora strutting his stuff with a sizable army behind him along with our old arch nemesis Basilius former chancellor of Fontan and Rhidana Dubhaine who just to make us be even more endeared to Fontan have come along for the ride. It's hard to imagine Fontan ever doing anything right. Will someone please hurry up and kill them already? As I write and quoted this one of my scribes raised a mug of ale and shouted something in support. Universal hatred for Fontan does seem to be the only thing mankind can agree on inside the Eastcontinent (hippie tree hugging elf-kind doesn't count). In other news we caught a Sirion infiltrator trying to stab the Lord General Thomas Foxglove (see regional news). The infiltrator will most likely receive a ban however King Jor was very keen for undercover agents of Sirion to be reminded that we do intend on executing infiltrators who get caught twice so don't go crying to your mommies when so-and-so gets his head lopped off for trying to stab one of ours. You have been warned.  Happy Birthday New westmoor! 9 June 1012 This newspaper, as of today, is now officially a year old! Through the October rebellion and Fontan's continued attempts to destroy Westmoor, we've reported it all through our extremely biased account of Westmoor's history - spreading the word to whoever decides to put down their sword for a few minutes crack open a keg of ale and read the news of that realm somewhere in-between Perdan Caligus and Sirion. If you remember back on the 9th of June of last year we were at that time at war with Fontan, Caligus and Sirion (and possibly Obsidian islands as well). A year later what's changed? Well we're still at war with Fontan (but so is everyone else) and we're now at war with Sirion for the second time. We have a different ruler on the throne a different general and a different duke of Westmoor. Looking at the map there's a great big burning hole where Ibladesh used to be - a smoking crater where even mentioning the word 'Sarta' can get you publicly thrown off a cliff. Sultanate of Asena left it's mortal coil since one year ago and all these new realms have appeared. Nivemus, Armonia and Ep ... Eppolyn - Eppilos, Eppypotamus. Thunder and lightning I'm not the only who can't spell it I have proof in the letters page. I have to check the map every time to make sure. So for better or for worse we're still here writing away on parchment sometimes soaked in mud, blood or other substances - hoping intently that my scribes in Oligarch city will be able to read what's been written in the field. Mighty realms have fallen and new realms have taken their place that have yet to have their metals tested. Fontan's on the way out with just a city to spare. Somewhat naughty of me to mention this but a certain noble of Fontan (who will remain nameless) approached our king as soon as Sirion declared war and again had the cheek to re-present the terms they offered last time - demilitarization of Greatbridge and reparations to them. It really is no wonder Fontan is in such a mess if they can still be so delusional. After all this time I still can't understand why Fontan never tried to be-friend Westmoor and just drop their demands. Truly a ridiculous period of history which we've had the pleasure of recording. My Guess? Fontan will probably be eaten by Caligus - which to be honest we'd rather see Caligus expand than Sirion. Ryu wins the tournament in Aix Ryu Hinamoto at one time general of Sirion won the tournament in the south yesterday beating Wulf Kelperhurst from Caligus. Economically the prize money versus the entrance fees were the most generous of all the three tournaments we've recorded. The Aix tournament by our maths wouldn't have made a profit - so our admiration to duke Nafsika for this generosity.  Westmoor defeated in Bruck 5 June 1012 It was a close battle but unfortunately for Westmoor it was Sirion that was yesterday the victor. Communication errors inside Westmoor resulted in messages going astray which resulted in some nobles not arriving at the battle in time. The group of nine hundred peasants that joined the battle at Bruck were a great help to the army but ultimately it was Sirion's large number of special forces and calvary that tipped the CS balance in favor of Sirion the prime minister of Sirion carrying 1700 CS alone. Sirion has used the opportunity to make attacks on Greatbridge and continue looting in Bruck while Westmoor refits inside the capitol. Meanwhile Fontan has used the chaos that Sirion has caused in starting this war to attempt to regain the region of Braga (the region that caused this whole mess in the first place). Sirion's attack also came from Oberndorf showing (not surprisingly) that Sirion is keen to exploit the use of it's ally Nivemus.The Ambassadors and high ranking members of the realm are in discussion with Caligus nobles about the Braga situation. For those more militarily appreciative of you we will eventually get a battle report of Bruck up so keep your eyes peeled for the "famous battles" page.  Sirion declares war! 3 June 1012 Sirion - (also known as pointy eared scum) have declared war against the kingdom of Westmoor allegedly for expanding into Fontanese territory and threatening them. As the Queen of Armonia so aptly described this turn of events it is somewhat ridiculous for a realm the size of Sirion to declare war on a realm half the size of itself for the reason of expansion. Sirion has also aggressively been claiming Fontan regions such as Commonyr and Oberndorf for Nivemus the latter we agreed on (both formerly part of Fontan). Sirion it seems is only concerned about realms other than itself and it's puppet claiming regions from Fontan. Their interests in protecting Fontan itself can be summed up about as much as the rest of the continent so they really have no excuse at all other than giving into the right wing militaristic elves of Avamar who arrogantly believe themselves above the rest of mankind on the East Continent. To the swords once more! The Elves will be made to pay for their continued attempts to dismantle Westmoor. They will not find us unprepared. We will make them bleed for every step they take into our lands and make them beg to be returned to the bosom trees that excreted them out. Editor Mathros Archives
