Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
December 31, 1006 | By: Elroy
Forces from Khthon are traveling through Plergoth lands to Haffemet after lowering diplomatic relations with Plergoth to Neutral and allying themselves with the rebels in Vlaanderen. So far they maintain that their alliance with Vlannderen, the TO of a Plergoth region that had been rogue for 1 day, the lowering of their diplomatic relations with Plergoth (a former ally), and the unprovoked travel through Plergoth lands are merely coincidental and should not be viewed as a prelude to war. Add to that the news in the Avalon paper regarding Khthon looking to expand at Plergoth's expense, and one can see through Khthon's intentions as easily as if they were written on a piece of parchment soaked in animal lard (always a sign of a healthy meal).
Regarding Avalon, while they maintain a defensive stance in Tindle for their friends in Khthon, should they move into Plergoth territory or attack our troops they will be in violation of their peace treaty with Fronen signed a mere 4 months ago. Plergoth made no military move to retake Tindle, so Avalon's presence there is unclear, unless of course their alliance with Vlaanderen provides the answer - protecting Tindle to allow Khthon to aid Vlaanderen without violating their peace treaty with Fronen. Avalon has always been an honorable realm, and it would be a shame to see them taint their reputation over the likes of the traitors who reside in Vlaanderen.
At any rate, this New Year looks to be rung in with some excitement, and this time without the help of the undead.
Feeling a Little Stressed?
December 31, 1006 | By: Marcus Antonus
Feelings are tense and everyone is feeling the strain in Plergoth as the force of the enemy grows with the oncoming of each new rebel sypmathizer. The newest addition to the list is Avalon, who claims to be "defending" Tindle but has yet to specify who they are defending it from. Odds are it's Plergoth. This also makes no sense considering Plergoth is not at war with Kthon. This world is surely messed up.
Anyways, Avalon's presence in the war makes some sense when you read this letter, sent only to Nymatal, Geoff, and myself, that was sent several days ago. This letter has yet to be revealed to the public, but remember, the Plergoth Press gets it to you first.
Letter from Allarion (5 days, 23 hours ago)
Message sent to: Geoff, Marcus Antonus, Nymatal
This message is meant solely to be an informational script for the time being.
Avalon will be presenting themselves and their Allies militarily within the borders of Vlaanderen as a Defensive force only.
Avalon believes in the right of the Nobles to represent themselves in a way that they see fit, as long as that way is justified. With the outpouring of such a heartfelt attitude from so many long-standing nobles of the Old Plergoth, and their actions of joining and creating Vlaanderen, Avalon feels that they have a right to exist for the reasons that they have previously stated, and are justified in their actions, thus befitting the profile stated above. The same goes for Khthon, our already trusted friends and Allies.
We in no way wish to see the soldiers of Plergoth on the battlefield, and hope sincerely that all parties can come to an agreement which will benefit everyone involved, perhaps even one day in support of one another.
There are more than one strong alliance of realms on this continent, and our four realms separate most from one another. At some point, we will need to defend ourselves else see war in our lands that we had nothing to do with the starting of. We could be a strong force together to stave off such an event if it were ever to occur. With this in mind, I honestly hope for the best possible outcome of this current conflict, and that would surely be an outcome in which the military never has a chance to resolve on the battlefield.
In Honour and Trust, and Hope for a Brighter Tomorrow,
Allarion
Regions Revolt!
December 20, 1006 | By: Luxor
Today, two regions revolted against Plergoth rule. The revolt in Tindle resulted in the loss of 13 gold and the lynching of 16 milita men. The revolt in Zuhle was less damaging, with only a loss of 2 gold. However, Zuhle's peasants have been revolting quite a lot for the past days, and a survey with the peasants say that the views and beliefs of the people opposed the ones of Plergoth's. Maybe the realm needed to tweak its form to suit everyone...
Plergoth in Better Shape
December 17, 1006 | By: Luxor
Now that the Monsters have been more or less cleared out, the realm of Plergoth can turn its full attention to more pressing issues. The realm of Vlaanderen, which ceded from the realm during the rebellion, was still holding lordship over Reeds and the surrounding regions. The stats of the remaining regions of Plergoth were still low, but they have risen, thanks to the help of the Defenders, the Region Lords and other nobles.
The nobles are also more cooperative. This was seen on the battles against the Monsters on the vicinity of Tindle, and by the taking of the rouge region of Zhule. With the improvements, the Island can certainly be sure that Plergoth, despite the recent hardships it faced, would still stand and regain its former glory one day.
Banned!
December 17, 1006 | By: Luxor
After the banishment of The One, three other nobles, namely Lans, Tarkin, and Lord Macumba, faced removal from the realm earlier this morning. All the reasons of Supreme Judge Bleeder were the same: They did not follow orders, and they sat in Creasur. Let us hope that our nobles would not follow the steps these three made, and that we may actively participate in the affairs of Plergoth.
Adventurers Roam
December 17, 1006 | By: Luxor
The lesser kin of Plergoth nobles, the adventurers, were reported to have been spotted within our borders, as well as in a few other realms. Other nations have also reported spotting their nobles' kin, working with the peasants.
A new, more stable government
December 15, 1006 | By: Luxor
Plergoth now is being controlled by a new government, spearheaded by Chancellor Marcus Antonus. Former Chancellor VonGarrett stepped down from position a few days ago, but was appointed Duke of Creasur. The Supreme Judge is Bleeder, the Minister of Defense is Kelrond and the Minister of Finances is Artevan.
