Another Loss

April 5, 1011 The Sultanate of Asena has sadly lost another Sultan, this time to the battlefield. Leading a hopeless attack against Sirion in Greatbridge, Sultan and Pasha Leandros Galvez was killed by Roland Jones and his unit. Why the attack was called for? We do not know, but this ultimate sacrifice will not be forgotten - not by his realm mates, not by his allies and no, not even by his enemies. The Obsidian News send their best regards, war brings about the worst side of things, including unnecessary death.

Military Power Changes?

April 5, 1011 At the end of last month, Ibladesh was the strongest realm, followed by Sirion. Taking up the bottom of the rankings was Obsidian Islands being the weakest, with Diocese of Aix being slightly stronger in the rankings. Here are the newly updated, beginning of the month rankings: First - Sirion Second - Ibladesh Third - Caligus Fourth - Perdan Fifth - Westmoor Sixth - Fontan Seventh - Sultanate of Asena Eighth - Obsidian Islands Ninth - Diocese of Aix As you can all see, not much change in the rankings, Ibladesh falling one spot, Sirion taking over the top spot again, Diocese of Aix dropping to last, Obsidian Islands gaining a spot, Sultanate of Asena and Fontan have dropped while Perdan, Caligus and Westmoor have all gained spots.
