Perdan (Realm)/War 2007-11

Account from Evangeline Uceek, former Queen of Perdan, 17th January:

Letter from Evangeline

(Personal message to Rafael)

Its a long story. We have long since fought Ibladesh, but there came a time when we surrendered and signed an uneasy peace. We gave them Lorient, Beziers and Bisciye, all the land that surrounded and fed Aix. We were told that if peace was long lasting we could buy the regions back from them. Peace lasted over a year, but they would not sell us back our regions.

Soon Fontan and Itorunt got into a disagreement about an infiltrator that Itorunt allowed into their realm. Fontan was going to attack Itorunt, but Perdan wouldn't let them come through our lands to hit our ally. We beseeched Ibladesh if they would fight with us to protect our common ally, and they refused point blank. It was my feeling that they would have attacked Aix while we fought our northern front.

Anyway, Ibladesh didn't look after our regions, barely fed them and eventually Beziers revolted and returned to Perdan. They demanded the region back and we said 'no'. They agreed that we could keep it, then the next day they sent all their priests (about 4) in Beziers and started using them to turn the population against Perdan. We declared war, we could then arrest the priests, it was obvious they were waging war anyway, just a different type.

Our plans were to have our regions back, including Woolton and Ar Mosul. But as the war continues, words are said and hostilities rise. Ibladesh are arrogant and will never surrender in my opinion. They hope they can last until they will have allies come and fight their war for them like they always have.
