Evora almost empty 17 June 1011 So we finally arrived in Evora and although the damage caused by Caligus was severe it wasn’t as bad as we’d thought which is reliving. The people seem glad to see the return of the army although as always with any return to a looted region there is resentment on both sides. The structure of the local town and villages seems intact but what’s missing here is the silver from the commoner’s pocket which they can ill afford to lose at any time of the year. Conflict has been pretty scarce with a number of low profile battles not really worth mentioning here. We kicked out the local Caligus forces who call themselves the head hunters. You can be assured dear reader that they won’t be hunting heads any more… at least not with the end of a halberd sticking out of their jaws. There was great relief from a number of the nobility particularly Cassandra Foxglove and Feoran Lionheart who both had strong reasons for retaking Evora, the former being chased out actually decided for the first time to take up arms and the latter giving up the robes of the church to fight and regain the former region. Finally in other news Nideus Kain actually ordered his men to bring a barrel of meat and ale with him so that they could make merry overnight. This is of course the polite way of describing something which can’t be printed or quoted in a family newspaper. In the words of Cassandra Foxglove "Drunken archers… Let's make sure we're deployed as far away from them as possible …”

Quiet on East continent 15 June 1011 As expected there was no way that Evora would accept the rule of Caligus. Little more than a few days after the occupying force left, the remains of the local government rebelled leaving Evora a rogue region. Hopefully Evora will now be successfully reclaimed by Westmoor. To the west of our lands Sirion has camped its remaining forces from the battle outside of Kazakh city in Gadlock. It remains to be seen if they will now refit or await further reinforcements. There has been no news from Fontan since their defeat at the battle of Greatbridge. However Westmoor expects the worst and we will be ready for them if they dare to cross the border again. To the south the forces of Ibladesh, Perdan and the southern front of Caligus have had relative peace and quiet. Ibladesh has recently faired quite badly losing a number of large battles to Perdan. Ibladesh briefly conquered Woolton but as can be seen in the regional news this has now been reclaimed by Perdan. General Atanamir led a successful looting campaign through the outskirts of Ibladesh causing a change in General in Ibladesh and the creation of a new elite army. Ibladesh’s strategies will most likely now change to a high degree in how they combat their two front war. The Obsidion islanders have recently lost a string of battles to the Sultanate. Their earlier success when they briefly took over Kazan seems to have lucked out. There perhaps seems to have been some disorganization in their communication between Sirion and their own armies. It remains unclear to the rest of East continent what exactly the two realms have planned should Kazach city fall. One wonders whether Sirion would honour such agreements to Shady with it being in such a powerful position. |

Asena fights bravely on! 13 June 1011 While the last few days have been a quiet news day for Westmoor our allies the Sultanate of Asena fought bravely scoring a string of victories against the oppressive Sirion Empire and their allies the Obsidian Islanders. As displayed in the regional news column the armies of Sirion smashed against the gates of Kazach 1240 men against a measly 710 defending home guard and members of the Iron wolves. Even with their overwhelming army Sirion was beaten and the gates of Kazach held. Sirion was only successful in a minor battle in Gadlock in which some nobles from Westmoor were involved. The Obsidian islands army attempting to control Kazan was also cut to pieces twice on the beaches of Asena delivering a vital dent to the pride of Shady’s dream of extending his empire onto the mainland and Sirion’s desire to resurrect Old Rancagua. Asena has sent a vital message to the world that it has not been beaten and its will lives bravely on.

The Battle of Greatbridge! 11 June 1011 The Westmoorian Column which had no wish to engage its former ally Fontan was forced by the treacherous nation to decisive military action today at the battle of Greatbridge. Marshal Thomas Foxglove deployed the army in an infantry charge formation while lady Rhidhana Dubhaine minster of defence for Fontan, and Marshal of the Democratic Guard appeared only to be trying to wound our army as much as possible while retreating a suggestion that Fontan had no intention or desire to win this battle. Ultimately their archer heavy army backfired as huge winds and gusts blew the arrows of Fontan all over the place with one report suggesting that an arrow was blown all the way into Dulbin. Once our infantry broke through the lines and into Basilius’ unit of some 200 archers the battle was as good as over. Being there myself I was surprised at the intensity and ferocity that Westmoor showed in defending a region that rightfully belongs to Westmoor from our former friends. We hope that Fontan will now do the right thing and end this dreadful deceit which has no place on either side of our borders. A good day for Westmoor on the battlefield. - quotation of Thomas Foxglove when victory was proclaimed. Arica becomes General once more Lady Arica Maldives has once again taken up the responsibilities of Lady General over Westmoor after she was reappointed today by our Liege. Arica’s tale is an amusing one as she managed to bluff her way out of Caligus’ cells claiming she was a Sirion noble a feat she managed to get away with after Sirion nobles bribed the Krimml government resulting in the various forms of confusion that followed only a few days ago. Infiltrators may learn from this but are advised not to rely on such a ploy and stick to the ancient sabotage rule of better to have fought than to have been caught. |

Coronation of a new king! 10 June 1011 All hail our new king Maedros Itaran king of all Westmoor! Our new king Maedros received a good majority of the votes and will soon be giving new decrees to the realm as a whole. Below is a copy of the voting turn out given out by the tax office.
Below is a copy of the king’s first announcement to Westmoor!
So there you have it if you’re interested in either the job of Lord Treasurer or Lord General then get cracking on it although Thomas Foxglove seems tipped for the job of Lord General with several highbrow figures declaring their support, bookies odds 1 to 2. Get applications in to the king soon if you’re interested in filling either of these positions. |

New Westmoor paper founded! 09 June 1011
There are multiple enemies for us in the north and south and there has perhaps never been a better time for news what with the recent loss of Evora. Within the next few days (providing all goes well) a new king will be elected to rule over our realm. The candidates thus far are:
Gregor Gustor Jor Maedros All nobles are greatly encouraged to vote in this referendum and read the manifestos of the potential rulers. As for the paper it is based loosely on the Obsidian News with stylistic influence from the old Westmoor Times. Hopefully both the paper and Westmoor will flourish in the years to come! |
