New Westmoor

Rulers of the continent engage in friendly banter! 14 December 1013 The political heat in the south has been intensifying over the last few days as the rulers of the southern alliance and king Garin Indirik argued over Eponllyn's takeover of the region of Betholm. King Garin continues to state that this was purely to save the peasants from starvation and poverty after the region revolted from Perleone rule. King Nigel, King Nightmare and King Edvard have all told Eponllyn to leave the region while Sirion in the north has taken the opportunity to accuse Perdan of ruling the continent through fear. Don't believe my account? Then read our Letters page. It's chock full of long letters written by the rulers of the realms addressing the issue. King Garin called on King Nigel to come to the discussion table over confirming claims to territories of the south which is likely to involve discussions over the isolated Noritor. He gave his assurance that Eponllyn would not be entering Oc Lu Pesh. Lots of issues were brought up on both sides relating to the Armonian succession and all the political hot points that caused. It's uncertain at this point how this conflict will develop. Up in Caligus Sirion recently scored a victory taking out most of Fallangard's army in Supra. It seems this war will go on for some time longer even though Caligus has been severely crippled. So far though this war is firmly going in favor of the southern alliance with little to no damage done by Caligus and Sirion to Perdan or Fallangard lands. Sirion and Caligus need Eponllyn to enter the war to have any hope of victory or stalemate and will likely be pushing hard at this time to try and persuade them to enter. For Eponllyn though the stakes are very high. What they have achieved is reminding the rest of the south that they exist. Whether this will result in the diplomatic negotiations Eponllyn is seeking or not remains to be seen.  Political heat in the south? 13 December 1013 According to a reliable source relations between Eponllyn and Perleone recently heated up in the south after the region of Betholm went rogue a few days ago. As can be seen in regional news Eponllyn then moved it's army into the region and took the region over. This could very well lead to war between Eponllyn and Perleone if they can't find a compromise. Perleone has since the succession and subsequent destruction of Armonia had tense relations with Perleone ever since. The Duchy of Itorunt changed hands to Perleone and then to Eponllyn during the political games of the south as the dukes and nobles worked out which realms to best align themselves to. This left the region of Norritor in the hands of Perleone surrounded by Eponllyn lands and something Eponllyn will probably try to ask for back. Eponllyn's action of taking Betholm does achieve one thing and that is to force Perleone to talk to them. It puts pressure on Perleone who are busy with aiding Perdan and Fallangard with their war against Caligus and Sirion. Sirion has since arrived back at the front and the face off between the lands two most powerful realms begins anew again. Word from Perdan reveals that Caligus was unwillingly to accept the surrender terms given to them by Perdan last week hence the recent military action. The Caligus region of An Najaf recently joined Sirion in the north.  Caligus Surrenders 7 December 1013 Word around the continent is that Caligus has surrendered to Perdan and the triple alliance. The illness of Caligus' former King and betrayal of the duchy of Hamadan seem to be have proven fatal wounds to Caligus in the war and have left the new king Actron Burep in a position that would have guarantied the eventual defeat of Caligus. With Perdanese and Perleone armies looting the surrounding regions outside of Domus the capitol was in grave danger of an assault. The armies have began withdrawing while negotiations take place. It's uncertain whether Sirion will want to continue the war now that Caligus has offered their surrender. In other news Nivemus determined to stomp out OI's last victory was successful in beating the Obsidian Islander's army in Kazan today. It is ironic that the war between OI and Nivemus is outlasting the war in the south on both ends of time.  Duchy of Hamadan joins Fallangard! 5 December 1013 In a shocking turn of events the Caligus duke of Hamadan changed his entire duchy to the realm of Fallangard. Ironically it was just last week in November that the region of Igno defected from Fallangard to Caligus with a heavy defense of militia. Now that region has gone back under Fallangardian control with the duchy succession. Percival Prestongreen the duke was responsible for the move. In a separate move a few hours later the region of Mines of Isadril also changed into Fallangard led by the lord of the region George Talratheon whom we remember fondly for his time in Westmoor. Lord George left Westmoor in late June of this year to aid Caligus back when the realm was suffering against Perdan in the three on one war. His brother Jameson remains judge of Caligus and he will probably fall under suspicion from the local government fair or unfair as it may be. It really cannot be expressed how bad this latest event is for Caligus. It's not just bad it's really really bad. Obviously the city of Hamadan and the region of Mines of Isadril won't be turning back to Caligus any time soon as their region lords were the ones responsible. Will we see a counter succession from the lords of the regions also brought in with the switch? Possibly but if it does happen it will consist of one region that being Leibo. Why is this you may ask? This is because Leibo is the only other region in the duchy switch which has a lord. Leibo is governed by Juan Dela Cruz. Abadan, Igno and Mashhad are all without region lords. If you're a ruler or the leader of a duchy this is a good reminder. Appoint your region lords!! If you don't who's going to take the region back to you when an unfortunate event like this one happens? As well as the loss of land, both Mines of Isadril and Tota had reasonably large militia defenses which forced Leibo into a choke point for invasions from the south. To enter Caligus now all Perleone and Fallangard have to do is walk right in to Supra or Winkamus and now the capital is right next door. More information as we get it!
