As we all know the war is progressing in the south with Perdan recently claiming [[Scio]] to the collection pot from Caligus. Word down the grapevine is that Sirion may be moving to support it's ally Caligus down in the south. In the deep south Perleone recently took the rogued formerly Armonian region of [[Enubec]] giving them a clear line of regions from one side of the continent to the other. Surely that makes war with Eponllyn one day unavoidable?
 
 
 
Anyway back on topic, Nivemus' Stratarchos Brock [[Ketchum Family|Ketchum]] sent us this update on the war in the north.
 
 
 
 
 
<i>We are doing fine in the north. Our goal is to reclaim Kazakh Peninsula is on track with the taking of the two regions. Though our recent defeat in Kazan battle taught us not to be over complacent.
 
 
 
Kazan is the main front line between both realms Obsidian Islands and Nivemus as you may notice from many battles fought here. OI tries to make an attempt to catch us off guard in Kazan region recently with their many false movements from Stora. Good strategy I must admit. Whoever military leaders from OI that come out with this strategy, should be praised for this stratagem. We are glad to meet such a good honorable match in OI. Last but not least, we hope both neighboring realms can be friend in the future when the dust has settled down.

Fallangard, who's friendly association with Perdan has developed ever since Perdan supported the new realm after it's split from Caligus, has declared war on the realm it was born out of. They have struck a blow into the region of [[Leibo]] defeating either Peasants or Caligus forces in the region. Fallangard has been anxious to gain new lands for some time now especially after it's hopes in the south were dashed after [[Xavax]]'s succession into Perleone lands. There hasn't been any word that this newspaper has picked up from Caligus' king Albion. It is suspected that he may be ill, which if true will compound Caligus' problems even more.

The region of [[Akesh Temple]] has changed hands to Perdan after the politicians were bribed and some murdered by Perdanese in a coup. With Akesh Temple Perdan now has a clear door into Caligus' east.
 
 
 
In the south the city of [[Itorunt]] changed hands to Eponllyn. There's still no news on the political tensions between Eponllyn and Perleone. The Armonian nobles seem split on which side to join. Interestingly enough Queen Sophie has held onto her position as Queen of Armonia even though she has no territories left and no subjects.

Nightmaree Aroo the king of Perdan has issued to Caligus a declaration of war on the nation for various food and diplomatic reasons. The full letter can be read on our [[New Westmoor/Archives/Letters|letters page]]. Although a formal declaration of war has not yet arrived to all rulers of the continent the message to King Albion of Caligus was very clear in that war was coming to Caligan soil. Shortly after a battle as seen in regional news took place in [[Winkamus]] the Caligus region bordering their capital [[Domus]]. If Caligus does not have sufficient strength in Domus to defend against Perdan then they could be in big trouble.
 
 
 
Meanwhile in the south Armonia has been completely absorbed mostly by Perleone but also Eponllyn. There has been no recent news from the diplomatic tensions between Perleone and Eponllyn. I'm sure there will be lots more news coming from across the continent so hold onto your horses!

Today Armonia elected a new Queen Sophie [[Kelly Family|Kelly]] to the position of ruler over Armonia. Unfortunately for her she may well be known as the last monarch of the realm as all but one regions left Armonian rule within the day. [[Itor Boss]] surrendered to the Eponese takeover which was underway while [[Priotness]] willingly changed allegiance to the realm of Eponllyn. Armonia's capitol changed sides to the region of Perleone leaving Armonia with the sole region of [[Aeng]]. This could well be it for Armonia unless a miracle happens.
 
 
 
Naturally as one might expect things have been heating up on the rulers channel between the kings of Eponllyn and Perleone. It has been rumored that the king of Fallangard has agreed to stay out of the conflict for the time being. King Garin called on King Nigel of Perleone to travel to Itorunt and hand over the city to Eponllyn to which King Nigel responded in as many words "why should I do this?" (see letters page for complete letters). This could well lead to a war between the realms of Perleone and Eponllyn.

The Duchy of [[Xavax]] today left Armonia and joined the realm of Perleone! A noble who wished to remain anonymous sent the following message relating to the situation:
 
 
 
<i>Letter from Intarex Tibro
 
Count Jedson and the Nobility of Perleone
 
 
 
I am Duke Tibro of Xavax.  I will be blunt since the flowery words belong to my cousin the Priest.  It has become evident Armonia is soon to be no more, and as such, I was ordered by the king of Armonia to secede.  It was decided the Kingdom of Perleone was the best choice for the nobility and peasants of Xavax.  Your Kingdom has a reputation for respect  noble conduct, and we of Xavax have much to offer, not least of all our loyalty.  Right now we are in a hard way due to war and starvation, but once we rebuild we shal be a productive member of the Kingdom.
 
 
 
Yours,
 
 
 
Intarex Tibro
 
Duke of Xavax</i>
 
 
 
[[Image:November 6th Sucession.jpg|November 6th Sucession.jpg]]
 
 
 
As can be seen on the map posted above the four regions comprising the duchy of Xavax are now part of Perleone. This cuts Fallangard off from Armonia and temporarily prevents takeovers. There hasn't been any word yet from the rulers of the realms involved.

This news is a few days now but we received this message from the emperor of the isles:
 
 
 
<i>Letter from Epoch Shadowbane
 
The war does not go well, as any current map can show...which is  pretty much as expected to be honest. I had hoped that the islands would have done better but against a larger force it was little else but hope. While it hurts to see the land I lead the OI forces into to take back when I was still the realm's Shogun being taken from us in this maner, but at least at the end of it all the islands will have regained some of it's lost honor by standing on our own and accepting a one on one battle with Nivemus.

After some conversation with fellow ECDA member Brutus [[Bhranthan Family|Bhranthan]] over letters we've got some news from the war down south. Brutus is the high marshal of Fallangard and responsible for Fallangard's armies on the battlefield. He generously allowed this paper to be privy to some interesting facts relating to the current situation. This letter came in just before the most recent battle in [[Ejarr Puutl]].
 
 
 
<i>Letter from Brutus Bhranthan
 
Lord Mathros,
 
 
 
Some news that i might share is that our King has been horribly wounded on the way to Enubec 5 days ago.
 
We have no conclusion on his health, he had been in a critical state for 4 days and now seems to be stable.
 
Our King is strong yet there is no sign of recovery yet.
 
This also explains Fallangards lack of reaction towards Armonia's proposal and other diplomatic activity.
 
 
 
This means Fallangard will pick its new King.
 
Although this will most likely not change much for the realm general direction, our King is the founding father of this realm and his family tied deeply into the rule over our lands.
 
His and his family's claim is the strongest.
 
Unfortunately his only Relative, Sir Eleran, has also been wounded ever since, protecting his uncle.
 
 
 
We will know more in three days.
 
 
 
Concerning the war, Fallangard has successfully looted several Armonian regions, including Itor Boss, Enubec and Betholm.
 
Armonia has thus far attacked Ejaar Puutl once with a great minority of troop strength and is doing it again right now.
 
  
Signed and Dictated,
+
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.
 
 
Brutus Bhranthan
 
High Marshal of Fallangard</i>
 
 
 
What would be interesting to find out is how many of those troops in Ejarr are militia and how many are actual soldiers or peasants. If those were all troops then Eponllyn is making a very good showing for this war. Secondly if those were all troops and Armonia new they were there why did they order the attack? 500 men is quite a substantial difference in a battle.
 
 
 
Next I'll try and write to OI to see what they're up to. I haven't heard any news out of them lately. They had some small success last week if people remember that battle which according to the peasants involved Perdan. Upon further investigation though that Perdan unit consisted of 3 archers and was not a deciding factor in that battle. Nivemus followed that up with another battle which went in their favor so really there is no reason to believe that the north western war is changing tides. Nivemus is still making fast pace in conquering the peninsular. It remains to be seen how much militia is in Kazakh the old Sultanate capitol and whether or not they will be able to breach that any time soon.

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.
