August 13, 2006 - REBELLION! Today, in a passionate speech delivered to the people of Ashforth and the Nobles of Old Rancagua, the up-to-recently silent noble, Heel, called for an immediate uprising against the current government. The details of this speech can be found here. His declaration of treasonous intent was then followed by a procession of followers, some of which have had ties to Oligarch. Not surprisingly the bulk of his followers also turned out to be nobles who had only been in the realm for a very short period of time. Some as low as 14 days. However, it turned out to be a well planned rebellion and seemed to be on the verge of succeeding but, Old Rancagua was saved by, of all things, a large party of monsters which appeared in the region and wiped out the rebel forces. With Heel gone and his followers in disarray, further names of potential traitors emerged until a full list of those involved in the plot have been uncovered. Booter (brother of Heel, in realm for 21 days), Brigitte (former Oligarchian, in realm for 20 days), Blue (former Oligarchian, in realm for 20 days), Ergharc (in realm for 114 days), Zwafir (in realm for 14 days), Abdallah (in realm for 17 days), Gertrude (in realm for 27 days), Vawrpihl (in realm for 15 days, and Xaath (in realm for 18 days). This rebellion has been an unwelcomed change of pace for the Nobles of Old Rancagua, and coupled with the defeat in Stora has led to much anger and the galvanisation of many. The presence of former Oligarchian TL's can only raise questions in the minds of many, this has not helped Kalmar's chances at securing peace with their founding realm. August 12, 2006 - Defeat! The credibility and strength of the Old Rancaguan military was severely questioned and tarnished today as the divided troops were defeated utterly at the hands of the Kalmarian defenders in Stora. Unbeknownst to the Old Rancaguan High Command, either one or more Kalmarian infiltrators (all of which coincidently happen to be Avamarians/Oligarchians) wreaked havoc upon the roads, signs and passes which link the mainland to the islands. All seemed clear until the last moment, when some troops were delayed by up to 6 hours in some cases, resulting in only half the Old Rancaguan army arriving for the battle. This defeat has caused the full-scale retreat of all Old Rancaguan troops from the front, to return and refit, plan and return to finish the job. Minor skirmishes on the front War has come once again to the Kalmar islands as the largest Old Rancaguan army assembled since before Charger's Rebellion marches towards Stora to engage the enemy.
