[[Commonyr]] was certainly full of action today as we found and executed the remaining members of the local government who were hiding in a [[Flow_of_the_Balance|flow of the balance]] shrine. King Maedros ordered this burned to the ground. My personal unit spent the entire day hunting down and hanging rebels, former militia members and anyone else who looked suspicious. In total I hung about 30 men and a few women today, not an act I’m proud of but something that is necessary if Fontan is to start treating us seriously. My prayers go out to the clergy who were caught up in the burning of the shrine.
 
  
Commonyr as you may have guessed from the tone of the article is now, as far as we can expect, under the control of Westmoor. This effectively splits what’s left of the linear realm of Fontan in two. This brings the interesting question of what next is to be done militarily after Commonyr becomes more secure? We can either assault the city of [[Krimml]] with siege engines and try to telescope an end to this war or we can attempt to take control of [[Oberndorf]] with then a choice of two cities [[Ashforth]] or [[Krimml]]. The question of course remains will Caligus or Sirion try to interfere?

From the number of infiltrators that keep getting caught we might as well open an infiltrator newspaper or perhaps a carnival where they can do tricks and hide from lions and tigers?
 
 
 
Azerx escaped his cell in Westmoor this morning. It is incredible but I have yet to see any prison on this continent that can hold a prisoner for more than a week. In brighter news that rogue Kross Ishehari who attempted to assassinate our General Arica was banished to that hell hole [[Beluaterra]] by Lord Justice Antonious Turner. Have fun with the demons and undead Kross and don’t come back or we’ll hang you.

Anyone who knows who it was is encouraged to report it so that we can pat you on the back – er I mean shake our heads disapprovingly.

The nobles of Westmoor were today in talks over what to do with the Fontanese infiltrators. A large number of criminal attacks were carried out over the last few months by Fontanese infiltrators culminating in the wounding of King Maedros a few days ago. New Westmoor can now announce that the infiltrator Zartos ut Daris is the main suspect in the attack. It is quite likely should he be captured that an execution will be ordered which has brought up a debate over what should be done with the great number of captured infiltrators already in the dungeons. Zartos is an infamous infiltrator and has served time in the dungeons of Sirion according to the [[The Elven Chronicle/October'10|Elven Chronicle]]. He has also been banned from Caligus for his crimes and deported by Sirion but has yet to be captured by the realm of Westmoor.
 
 
 
It seems that Fontan unable to mount an effective military attack is resorting more and more to converting its nobles into undercover agents. Systematically failed attacks were carried out (over the last few days) both on our General Arica and our Duke Gregor both of whom were exceptionally well guarded against such an assault and it comes as no surprise that the assassins failed. There are arguments either way as to what extent punishment should be handed out. To this papers knowledge there has still been no word from Fontan.

Brock [[Ketchum_Family|Ketchum]] a Fontanese Noble actually attempted with a small number of men to push the Westmoorian Column out of Commonyr today. Brock lead his unit the Ashforth Strike Infantry on a brave charge into our camp making it somehow through the outer perimeter where he was bombarded with archer fire surrounded and captured in what can only be described as a brave but utterly futile attack on our army.

It is with grave news that New Westmoor paper announces today that an assassination attempt was carried out on our King Maedros. The king survived the attack but has been seriously wounded taking him off his duties until he is able to recover. Outrage and support was quick to come from all corners of the kingdom with the finger being firmly pointed at Fontan. Marshal Thomas Foxglove was the first to condemn the Fontanese government for what is surely the final straw in a long series of undercover attacks against Westmoor.
 
 
 
''“Let this assassination attempt on King Maedros finally prove that Fontan is a realm where there is no longer any honour, at least under its current leadership…”''
 
 
 
Noble Nideus Kain commented that Fontan had in this action signed its own death wish. Whatever the truth of the matter, this could not have happened at a worse time for diplomatic relations and will surely have grave consequences for Fontan which is clearly not in a position to defend itself militarily. It will now likely be nigh impossible for the Westmoorian government not to justify serious counter measures against a realm that not so long ago used to be considered our ally.

 End of newspaper ?? ??1014

With the loss of Westmoor's capitol city due to Sirion and allied forces assaulting the city, the newspaper was forced to close along with the destruction of the realm of Westmoor. New Westmoor successfully covered a large period of Westmoor's history through thick and thin and will be sorely missed. Let the wars continue on!

 War continues 2 June 1014

All in all the map looks similar to the one we showed last month with the exception that Krimml is back in Sirion hands. We are busy here in Westmoor preparing our defenses for the next attacks from the enemy. Westmoor managed to regain the rogued region of Troyes. Perdan and Sirion are away at refit and may not be back onto the battlefield for some time giving us some time to rest and repair.
