July 13, 2006 - "Kalmarian" infiltrator NABBED WREAKING HAVOC! As the last rays of sunlight faded over the seaside region of Kazan, a former Avamarian Grand Justiciar and Oligarchian 'Noble' Julia was captured after a spree of brutal murders and property damage. This comes in direct opposition to the Cease-Fire agreement which ended immediate hostilities between the nations of Old Rancagua and Kalmar Islands only a few days ago. One has to wonder if whether this attack was merely the result of a rogue action by a disgruntled Avamarian who does not want peace, or an Infiltrator working under the command of the Kalmarian government. If it is the earlier then it is most likely that Julia will be tortured and then executed or deported for her discretions and long-standing title as a banned criminal in Old Rancagua. Should it be the latter, then this will mean most likely a resumption of the state of war between the nations of Old Rancagua and Kalmar for violation of the Cease-Fire. Currently, Chancellor Prometheus has denied his knowledge of the actions, which hints that it is a rogue action. Let us hope that for the sake of peace this is the case and Julia is merely a criminal who believes herself as being above the law. In the memory of true Kalmarians Well, it seems that the Old Rancaguan Press must defend its honour again for the Kalmarian Chronicles continues to discredit our stories. We must ask the KIC, what is truth? Truth is in the eye of the beholder, what is one truth to an Old Rancaguan, a Fontan or Perdanese, or Sirionite, is very different to usurping Avamarian or a poisoned and deceived Kalmarian. The Press does not deny claim to many of the Kalmarian Nobles, just the Avamarians and Oligarchians who came to the realm right after the rebellion. It seems that Avamar cannot form its own realm, it must take from others. Yes indeed the entire Democracy is wrong, any government change which comes without the expressed consent of a majority of the original nobles is wrong. However what makes this particular democracy wrong is the fact that the Avamarians (who were in sore need a realm because they are unable to conform to the realms of others) denounced the rebellion, but then accepted it anyway. Thats what Avamarians do it seems, when the realm they infest becomes too weak to maintain them, they move on to another. Do they have any honour whatsoever? Indeed, the democracy and her rampantly "democratic" Avamarians have probably been around for longer than the Royalists. But why is that? Because the royalists were forcibly removed from their home realm! Lalakis and his band of invaders probably have been in Kalmar longer, but only because many former Kalmarians know that they could never be accepted in a realm such as the one which has been created without drastically changing their beliefs. De-basing themselves before men and women who have robbed them of their homes. Indeed a majority don't want a monarchy, but who are the most vocal of the realm? Who vote the most? The Avamarians of course! I would bet that the half the Nobles who are truly loyal to the realm which was created by Old Rancagua and Perdan wish to return, but they know that they would privately be persecuted should they open their mouths. Furthermore, we are nothing like El Cid, for we are only retaking a realm for those who deserve to live in it. You too would be permitted into such a realm, for you are a true Kalmarian also. But, it seems that our honour dictates settlement with Kalmar now that they have a proper leader. Militarily, Kalmar's only defence is the geographical positioning which forces armies to attack them in tight bottlenecks, reducing their numerical advantage. Concerning your RC's, it's all very well building them, but you have to hold on to them and you were about to loose many of them. Not to mention how you could afford to purchase the troops with average individual incomes of 10 gold per Nobles. Oh wait! Thats right you have Avamarians who siphon in gold from some of the more richer realms to benefit new ones. Concerning negotiations, there were never negotiations because anything which Lalakis said to us could not be received as from the ruler of Kalmar. Why? Because Prometheus is the true ruler, the former Kings of Kalmar are the only true rulers and thus, now that Prometheus has become the ruler once more we can accept his words as the words of Kalmar itself. We realised long ago that anything Lalakis says is mud, for you cannot barter what is not yours in the first place! In conclusion, it is the very justness and honour of Old Rancagua which is allowing the Avamarians to remain in Kalmar, for now that you have elected a proper Chancellor the key term of Old Rancagua's pledge to restore Kalmar has been achieved. I only hope that you all give him a fair chance at the rulership, he is an honourable man and deserving of your respect. It is only by unhappy chance that he was robbed of his rightful position. It is lucky for you indeed that Old Rancagua is virtuous, for it is our desire for peace which allows the Avamarians to remain. Though, it does stain the memory of those true Kalmarians which is most lamentable. For though they are not with us in body, their spirits cry out against the usurpers which took their homeland from them. July 11, 2006 - Tricky, Tricky Lalakis? The defence of the Press's honour continues as we enter into what must be the second Journalistic War the East Continent has seen in the past few months. This story can now be found on the July News Reports page. Possible Peace on the way? After only 2 battles it seems that finally Kalmar is seeing the light and beginning the long process of restoring peace between themselves and its creator. This story can now be found on the July News Reports page. July 4, 2006 - Armistices all round Well, it is not surprising that under the extreme amount of pressure that has been placed upon the former members of the HRA, Ubent and Caligus, since the destruction of Oligarch that they would have to crack soon. With the recent reformation in Caligus, beginning peace talks between the decimated Monarchy realm and the Southern Federation, and the Armistice signed by Ubent today, severely limiting their realm's size, strength and sovereignty it seems that Perdan is very much alone in their fight agains the combined might of the Northern Alliance and the Southern Federation. Soon perhaps, we will see the first continental peace in many years of bloodshed, death and destruction. Defeat in Kalmar City Despite the crushing win in Stora, the troops of Old Rancagua were unable to capitalise upon the win, meeting defeat on the very walls of Kalmar City. This story can now be found on the July News Reports page. July 3, 2006 - Old Rancagua withstands the verbal attacks of the Avamarians Despite the vehement verbal attacks from the assorted (still able to walk and talk) Avamarians in Stora, Legatus is by far the loudest. However, it is interesting to note that he was amongst the strongest supporters of the action to rid the Isles of the Avamarian invaders post-El Cid. The finer points of his thoughts on Lalakis, El Cid and Avamar in general which we find mightily agreeable are as follows and can be found here: July News Reports.
