And now we know! Armonia has officially declared war on Eponllyn presumably for the reasons we mentioned in the last update. So let’s take a moment right now at the beginning to take into consideration how this war might work logistically. Anyone who remembers the last war and fought for either Caligus Perdan or Ibladesh will remember the geography of former Ibladesh very well. Its intricate nooks and crannies were great locations for many battles and part of the reason that Ibladesh stagnated in its military machine. The biggest factor in the geography of former Ibladesh is that great big lake in the centre which Perdan successfully used like a hook sending its elite armies round the back of Ibladesh to cause mayhem while Ibladesh’s main army was at the front.
 
 
 
This of course has all changed now that Ibladesh is split into two different realms which will now soon be facing each other in direct combat. Consider Ibladesh as a realm itself. It had an entrance spanning the entire south of the continent. If you wanted to walk into Ibladesh with an army you wouldn’t have that much problem sneaking by somewhere. What we have with Eponllyn and Armonia is that both realms are evenly matched and have two tight entrances one in the north and one in the South. The South we’re expecting to see most of the major battles. This will be a very fast paced war that’s for sure with [[Itorunt]] the capitol of Armonia being separated from Eponllyn’s capitol [[Semall]] by one region: [[Ejarr Puutl]] the battleground.
 
 
 
Armonia is slightly superior to Eponllyn economically with 10 regions and 25 nobles versus Eponllyn’s 9 regions and 19 nobles. While the geography is different the lake remains but this time will turn this into a different kind of war. Instead of the wide open entrance you have two bottlenecks. The city of [[Xavax]] and [[Al Arab]] as always are placed in pretty irrelevant places militaristically and probably won’t see much action at least in the early stages of this war. You can just walk by them. The bridge in and out of Ibladesh does however remain a crucial doorway between the two realms. As previously mentioned most of the fighting will happen in the south. We can expect a multitude of battles to happen inside [[Ejarr Puutl]] with nobles retreating back to their cities for lightning quick refits. This should be a very exciting war.
 
 
 
<span style="font-size: 16px">'''Chancellor of Fontan joins Sirion'''</span>
 
 
 
Katalynfae [[Dragul Family|Dragul]] has taken the unusual move of terminating her chancellorship in the democracy of Fontan by moving through [[Commonyr]] and joining the realm of Sirion. Zadek Dragul a family relation has also converted to Sirion; something that only a year ago you would have imagined to be impossible. This leaves Fontan without a judge or a chancellor. Perhaps Fontan should consider being kinder to its chancellor's so that they stick in office for more than a few days. This paper remembers a similar circumstance when Rhidana [[Dubhaine Family|Dubhaine]] stepped down from the minister of defence position after only a few days. However we’re only speculating and we can’t know for sure the real reasons why a chancellor of a realm would leave and join another realm in such a short time after winning office. From our point of view it does seem a bit bizarre especially after the mountains of paperwork Fontan seems to have to go through to decide on anything. What does this mean for Fontan? More Doom probably.

As can be seen in regional news Fontan has taken the wise but somewhat late action of removing that completely useless lump of wax that was their last chancellor (the diplomatic Genius Aulus Severus) and replaced it with something perhaps more effective. Katalynfae [[Dragul Family|Dragul]] has become the new chancellor and has taken the unusual move (for Fontan) of addressing the rulers of East continent to open discussion as to the future of Fontan. This is progress for Fontan and shows that the city state is beginning to attempt to address its problems. The question though that people will be asking is will this be progress too late? Fontan has already been stripped of five of the seven regions it had at the start of the war and Braga is continually changing hands. Perdan is still at war with Fontan as well as Caligus and today Perdan again gave it's aid to Westmoor in addressing Fontanese skirmishers in the region of [[Braga]]. Fontan is still hated violently by its neighbor Westmoor as well as many other realms and this kind of hatred (not among peasants but from the aristocracy) doesn't go away over night. Katalynfae will have a lot of work cut for her.
 
 
 
<span style="font-size: 16px">'''Trouble brewing in the south?'''</span>
 
 
 
News that has been bubbling inside the halls of the church of humanity is that a potential conflict has come to the surface between Eponllyn and Armonia. A noble by the name of Valko [[D`Este Family|D'Este]] a former earl of [[Nimraw]] attempted to assassinate the former King of Armonia duke Dread Fantom yesterday. The current ruler (Autrey Bendix) wrote to all rulers of the continent to demand an explanation for the attempt. Autrey also made clear that to avoid war Eponllyn would be required to ban the noble Valko and sign a peace treaty with Armonia. Siana [[Deytheur Family|Deytheur]] (Queen of Eponllyn) has since responded today and banned the noble Valko however she expressed that she did not trust Armonia enough to sign a peace treaty. The question now will be whether or not Armonia sees this as the necessary prequisites for a war in the south.
 
 
 
As it amuses me I'll probably start referring to Armonia and Eponllyn as the 'ladies of the south' as they are after all ruled by two Queens. Please forgive me.

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.

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.
+
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.
 
 
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 [[Hinamoto Family|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.

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 - (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.

New Westmoor.jpg

 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.
