Vice Marshal Ravier [[Nebehn Family|Nebehn]] again lead the army with the king and duke Gregor also fighting fiercely on Westmoorian soil. Our army was slightly smaller than it could have been as several nobles including myself weren’t able to get to Dulbin in time, but better this then have Fontan scurry off back to [[Krimml]] , the den of infiltrators and thieves, without a good kicking.
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | Like a swarm of locusts the combined forces of Sirion and the Obsidian islanders swarmed onto the city of Kazach. Unlike the last time where Sirion attacked [[Oroya]] they instead decided to go straight for the Sultanate’s mother city breaking down the walls of the historic capitol. Sultan Viseslav [[Stublic Family|Stublic]] was seriously wounded by the Elven hero Cimion [[Telerin Family|Telerin's]] unit. The Sultanate was out numbered two to one in this battle and although we were unable to support them we wish them well.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now of course as you know not having a capitol (or at least a capitol you can use) can present problems. The capitol is the forefront of the realm’s activities and is symbolic of the nation’s aims whatever they are. The biggest problem of course is that if you don’t have a capitol you can’t recruit any new soldiers until a new capitol has been selected. Sirion and the obsidian islanders will undoubtedly try and take this city leaving the Sultanate with very few options. One of course is to move the capitol to Oroya and try to continue the war from there. Option two is to hack out some kind of surrender terms which of course (if at all viable at this point) will be hopelessly destructive to the Sultanate’s lands and involve giving most of its territories away. I wouldn’t want to be in the Sultanate right now.

Just a few things to report, Fontan attempted to invade [[Commonyr]] (led by General Rhidana) but were beaten by General Arica and the militia of Commonyr even though we were outnumbered. The second is that we were incorrect about Lord Addonwy (yesterday's article) not having a ban placed upon him. He was executed today bringing justice to King Nightmare and Perdan as to the attack made against him. Negotiations between Ibladesh and the Caligun/Perdanese alliance can now continue albeit strained by Lord Addonwy’s actions.

The attack was carried out by infiltrator Addonwy [[Ap Rhodri Family|Ap Rhodri]] a noble of Ibladesh. ][osferatu [[Reapers Family|Reapers]] wrote to all the judges of East continent proclaiming Addonwy a dead man for whatever reason or reasons that he might be brought to justice again in the future. Due to the laws of the gods and in a similar vein to our problems with Zartos ut Daris the most that can be done to lord Addonwy by Perdan is a ban.
| |

| − | Similar attacks by Perdan have also been carried out against the former Pontifex Theuderik in the past so this is not the first or the last time that infiltrators will have left their mark on East continent. King Nightmare was severely wounded but his condition is currently stable. As our mother realm we wish Perdan all the best and hope that they catch this rogue. ][osferatu’s letter has been published on the [[New Westmoor/Archives/Letters|letters page]] for all to see.

| |
| − | | |
| − | News has reached us that Basilius [[Decimus Family|Decimus]] has stepped down from the position of chancellor of Fontan. We don't know the exact details of what has happened but it seems clear, according funnily enough to the OI news, that he doesn't intend to stand again. So this brings about the question who is going to replace him in one of the nation's most difficult times? Fontanese politics is something we Westmoorians find a little hard to understand but the big candidates are likely to be those already within government.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Rhidhana [[Dubhaine Family|Dubhaine]] holds the position of General and is probably our desired person to take up the mantal of Fontan what with our own General Arica finding her to be a positive face for Fontan (see letters page). The other members of the government include Justice [[TithOnanka Family|Prandur]] and Fontan's Banker [[Dragul Family|Zadek]], also the dukes of [[Krimml]] and [[Ashforth]] [[Carnes Family|Ariana]] and [[Of_the_Scipii_Family|Aulus Severus]] whom was responsible for the defense of [[Ashforth]] city when we stormed it; but in Fontan's current state we could of course see a surprise at the election. The nation has been under great strain and that could result in any number of possibilities when the nobles set their ballots.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The question that Fontan really needs to address is its future. In the long term a realm with three regions and a city is not going to survive in the volatile enviroment of the east continent. Fontan also needs to start treating Westmoor as a credible threat and not ignore diplomacy if any progress is to be made. We would be interested as a paper to hear what the opionions of the Fontanese nobles are about their future on the continent.

All as one they moved west passing through the city of [[Ashforth]] into the wasteland of [[Salta]] and are now moving up north towards [[Juazeiro]] and presumably the Sultanate’s northern city of [[Oroya]]. The army is so massive it makes the ground tremble with every step and beat of the drum.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Scout reports indicate that the Sultanate’s Sultan-General, Viseslav [[Stublic Family|Stublic]] was caught up in Salta and is now hiding in the hills. Surely the Sultanate will not be able to defend from such a huge army as this: almost nine hundred infantry backed up by over three hundred Elven archers. Sirion’s new general Zakilevo [[Lapallanch Family|Lapallanch]] seems anxious not to have a repeat of the Oroya incident back on the 16th. With such a huge army surely nothing now can stand in Sirion’s way .

| − | If one were to describe our war against Fontan as a child hitting a baby with a stick then the war of Perdan and Caligus against Ibladesh really would be two giants hitting another giant with sledge hammers. The whole of the northern front of Ibladesh is burning and the realm is currently without a General. After seizing [[Igno]] the Caligun army marched today into [[Leibo]] defeating the inferior Ibladesh force there.
| |

| − | Perdan has also now managed to get a good foot hold on Woolton as well as eating up most of what used to be the diocese of Aix. The people in the south of Ibladesh remain untouched but live in fear knowing that the north crumbles. The severe devastation can be seen in the number of rogue regions bordering the three realms. Ibladesh is running out of time to save itself.

| − | Unless the situation in Fontan is even more delusional than it already is, both ourselves and Fontan would have known that their (Fontan’s) invasion of the south east of our realm was not going to work or last. Virtually no damage was done to our regions until Rhidhana [[Dubhaine Family|Dubhaine’s]] defeat by the new Vice Marshal Ravier [[Nebehn Family|Nebehn]] and the Lord Treasurer in [[Dulbin]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Progress in [[Commonyr]] goes well with control reaching main and [[Oberndorf]] is also recovering speedily although there is still much to be done in both regions. There is still no word from Fontan (although one might have thought that there would be by now). Their stalling tactics of holding [[Ashforth]] from Sirion could possibly be an attempt to draw Sirion into this war. Due to certain legalities if we were to take [[Krimml]] from the Fontanese right now, they would no longer be able to hand over Ashforth to Sirion (see the letters page) which could damage our diplomatic standing with the elves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | However it goes without saying that this doesn’t stop us occasionally looting it and taking all the surrounding regions. Surely Sirion has a limit to its patience over such matters regarding Ashforth. However Fontan being as irrational as it currently is, what I said could be completely wrong. Maybe they just want to be suicidal.

| − | Once again [[Commonyr]] (albeit with some heavy resistance from the peasants) has joined Westmoor leaving [[Ashforth]] a starving city in the middle of nowhere. Ashforth is still a part of Fontan by the way. Over a month has passed since the original handover deadline. If Sirion had just performed a takeover their life would be so much easier right now. Never trust Fontan to do anything on time. Bookies are taking bets for it being done by winter festival.

| − | Apart from the obvious advantages of another region this means we now have some of the best breweries on East continent! Let’s hope we can hold onto Commonyr this time which hasn’t been put into too bad a shape for once. Ironically this is partially due to the seven hundred peasants all of whom died or were wounded in today’s battle in Commonyr (not in regional news). These peasants stopped us looting the place yesterday and this morning. Had we been successful we would have caused a lot more damage to the region.

| − | After several days of silence Fontan has retaliated against our takeovers in [[Commonyr]] and [[Oberndorf]] with a two part attack against [[Dulbin]] and [[Greatbridge]]. Surprisingly the bulk of their small army was sent against Greatbridge as you can see in regional news. Somehow we won even though we were outnumbered. Maybe this was down to disorganised line settings on the part of Fontan? Who knows in any case the presence of Fontan in Greatbridge is still large enough to be a threat to region security so some action will have to be taken either today or in the next few days to kick them back out. While Basilius lead the attack on Greatbridge minister for defence Lady Rhidana [[Dubhaine Family|Dubhaine]] lead the successful attack on Dulbin with a small group of archers, however this was against angry peasants not soldiers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These attacks by Fontan really are an act of desperation but may succeed in doing some small amount of damage. The attack seems to be designed more as a distraction than anything else. Half of their army stayed behind to defend [[Krimml]] which ,to be honest, we could just walk in and take at any time. The WC responded with a looting of Commonyr to speed up the change in government.

| − | Today the Westmoorian column continues its takeover of [[Commonyr]] unopposed. You’ll be glad to know that while still wounded from the assailant, Arica is making a recovery and its expected her wounds should heal normally. Fontan has amassed a small defensive force inside [[Krimml]] of not much more than two thousand in combat strength but this is really nothing to be worried about. The WC has ten thousand CS in [[Commonyr]] alone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While we were busy maintaining our two Fontanese regions the war between Sirion and the Sultanate continued with Sirion making a rather surprising military blunder. Sirion forces attacked the city of [[Oroya]] where a larger force of Soa troops were awaiting them. We don’t have the exact details of what happened but the Sultanate was the clear victor taking two Sirion nobles prisoner.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This does beg the question how can Sirion still have trouble with a realm a third of its own size and power? How can a realm of its size continue to leave regions rogue? It has been three months since the Sultanate was left as the only opponent and Sirion has not managed to take even one region from them. While the Sultanate’s courage cannot be faulted in resisting Sirion rule the rest of us on East continent start to wonder about Sirion. Is there internal politics going on? Just how can such a massive realm be <i>that</i> slow?

The WC was virtually unopposed except for a few angry peasants who were quickly defeated. Soon after General Arica gave the order for a takeover of the region to begin. This is mostly in response to the fact that Fontan has still not reigned in its Saboteurs and Chancellor [[Decimus_Family|Basilus]] continues to defy both Sirion and Westmoor by failing to hand over [[Ashforth]] to the Sirion empire.

| |
| − | | |
| − | As the last few days have been quiet in the news department (Yorik has gained arthritis from twiddling his thumbs and has been prescripted a healthy dosage of leeches) it was suggested to me by Marshal [[Foxglove_Family|Foxglove]] that I should write about the recent closed border treaty we signed against Fontan aptly named the Westmoorian Sovereignty Edict. The main part of this reads:
| |
| − | <p style="text-align: center">''All Fontanese nobles, be they bureaucrats, soldiers, diplomats, or clergy, are restricted from our lands. Should they violate this edict, they are to be arrested on sight and their punish meted out as per the oversight of the Lord Justice.''</p>
| |
| − | That is of course presuming the Lord Justice doesn’t get stabbed or anything. So just in case anyone in Westmoor isn’t sure what to do when they see a Fontanese priest, we now have a piece of paper to tell them. Take that Fontan!

Reconstruction of the town and economy has been a bit slower but that’s to be expected as our soldiers aren’t great fans of civil work. None of this would have been possible without the huge response from the Westmoorian Column and our priests in the [[Church_of_Humanity|church of humanity]] on the ground Gaenm, Jor and Malos.

| |
| − | | |
| − | The great thing about taking a rogue region like Oberndorf from my point of view is that you don’t need to sign any death warrants. There is no local government and in the eyes of the continent any peasants that deem themselves worthy of the title ''“rogue”'' are traitors. How can peasants expect to rule themselves without the guidance of those of noble birth?
| |
| − | | |
| − | Thankfully this proceeded a lot quicker than that chaos we had back in [[Evora]] when we had to track down and remove the Caligus government. The Fontanese court had fled days ago when the region first went rogue which meant we didn’t have to go through the sticky process of bringing them to trial and executing them all.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Peasants will rebel against anything first Fontan and now they’re trying to rebel against us. Well I’ve set the ball rolling by hanging twelve rebel anarchists who want Oberndorf to be an independent region or something. Its best to get these tree hugging curs hanging from trees before they start sitting in them.
| |

| − | Oberndorf has long had a history of bloodshed and violence what with wars involving Rancagua, Sirion and Fontan. Not so long ago they actually declared themselves part of the Sultanate of Asena before they were handed back to Fontan. I’m hoping that Westmoor can restore some kind of a peaceful atmosphere but obviously that’s not going to happen for some time.

Zartos must be getting over confident trying to rob Olligarch twice in one night, especially seeing as Olligarch currently has more militia in it than the whole of the WC combined. Akron definitely has a ban on him already I remember writing about him back at the end of June but I don't recall that the rogue Zartos has been caught by Westmoor before which could make handing out justice a little tricky.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lord Justice Antonius [[Turner-Lionheart Family|Turner]] has yet to emerge from court and let us know what has been decided. General Arica and much of the nobility have been calling for harsh punishment on these curs. Considering the severity of Akron's crime he is likely to get deported. Zartos would be lucky enough to get away with anything other than an execution but this depends heavily on the ban and the laws of the ancient gods.

This seems like a good chance to recap on what's happened over the continent. Surprisingly Ibladesh has still managed to hold onto the number one spot although we can't imagine this lasting forever unless they start winning some battles. Westmoor remains in 5th place while Fontan has finally hit rock bottom after the Diocese of Axis was completely wiped off the face of the map months ago.

Someone from our realm murdered a number of peasants in Commonyr today against orders which were only for looting. Looting is a touchy subject in Westmoor and something we refrained from doing against Fontan until quite recently; however it is strictly against the law to murder peasants without military cause (unlike realms such as Perdan and Caligus to the south). The Realm council was quick to condemn the unknown culprit with harsh warnings coming from Marshal [[Foxglove Family|Foxglove]] and the Lord Justice Antonius [[Turner-Lionheart Family|Turner]] who promised to catch the culprit. Realistically the chances of catching this individual in wartime are pretty low unless he's stupid enough to try such an action again but hopefully the message is now crystal clear that this kind of attack is not tolerated in Westmoor.

He was fended off this time and narrowly escaped being caught. Nobles are recommended to do police work if they have time while civillians should lock and bolt their doors and windows.

The Sirion General has personally appologised to Arica for the attack and has assured us that the infiltrator will be punished for his crimes. This was however an unfortunate thing to happen while relations with Sirion and Westmoor were improving.

Firstly their chancellor should have signed the handing over of [[Ashforth]] to Sirion weeks ago and is now in jail in Westmoor. You may think this is slightly inconsiderate of us but we can't help pointing out that we picked him up in [[Greatbridge]] which is nowhere near Ashforth. At this point the question arises if we did release him would he actualy go to Ashforth or would he continue to try and rally armies against us? If Ashforth isn't handed over to Sirion soon what would Sirion's reaction be? Send in the Red Dragons and take it by force? Fontan's diplomatic position is really at the moment very bad. Their new big friend Sirion seems to be rather less interested in being their friend than they might have thought.

| − | In what was a slightly undramatic battle, Krimml was completely overrun within a few hours today. The Westmoorian collumn showed incredible dedication by having every single one of its units in the correct formation by the time the battle started. Similarly to the battle of [[Ashforth]] the collumn opened with archer fire but this time lacking General Arica who is still recovering from her wounding. However even though our archers were much smaller in number Fontan had no archers of its own to return fire. Some confusion broke out in Fontan's ranks and noble Erwin [[Gall family|Gall]] broke rank along with a number of peasants and performed a brave by suicidal charge at our front.

| − | With the gate down the Collumn was able to charge straight into Krimml and massacre the remainder of the Fontanese army. Scouts reported Zadek noble of Fontan at the rear of the castle with two calvary in a wedge formation (presumably one in front of the other?).

| − | With the city taken Marshal Thomas Foxglove gave out orders to damage the wall ready for further assaults. Westmoor has proven once more that it will not sit still while realms such as Fontan attack it in this case both politically and militarily.

| − | Basilus apparently gave some kind of speech in [[Greatbridge]] today, what this contained I do not know however he was still there when our army arrived and was rather quickly captured. With Basilus safely locked away in our dungeons (before he causes any more mayhem) is it too much to ask that the people of Fontan elect themselves a new chancellor? In the meantime Basil needs to be fed while he's here (hopefully not too often) so voting will be held shortly before each mealtime about what we should feed him. I hear Rat soup is first up prepared specially in [[Salta]] (the regional dish).

| − | In what can only be described as epic Duke Gregor [[Relak Family|Relak]] took his massive unit of some 180ish infantry met with some angry peasants and defeated Fontan with some help from Feoran's unit of archers. Katsuyori [[Takeda family|Takeda]] (noble of Fontan) was seriously wounded in this battle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Basilus [[Decimus Family|Decimus]] our most cheesed off foe was also present at the battle presumably taking time out from his long and laborious journey to hand over [[Ashforth]] to Sirion. Whatever the case we can only inform you that you were going in the wrong direction! Ashforth is up north you may have had the map upside down.

| − | Our congratulations go out to Gregor for winning the second battle of [[Greatbridge]] or as historians seem to be filing it as... ''the battle of Gregor''.
