==== The Final call of arms for LOF? ==== --Blade Donivan, 5 June 2007 Editorial Huge Battle Fought (6 hours ago) Rumours spread and tales are sung about a huge battle in Fontan: Fontan vs. Light of Fountain Estimated combat strengths: 40000 CS vs. 23000 CS Lionel, Count of Commonyr was captured by Light of Fountain forces. Requiem (Noble of Fontan) was captured by Light of Fountain forces. Guis'wa (Noble of Fontan) was captured by Light of Fountain forces. Harald Ericson (Noble of Light of Fountain) was captured by Fontan forces. Basilius, Minister of Defense of Fontan, Count of Morshes was captured by Light of Fountain forces. Attacker Victory! With the recent report of a succesful attack by Fontan on Light of Fountain the trumpet sounds of victory for Fontan seems only an earshot away. Although heavy casualties seems prevailant on the Fontan side with no less than five nobles one of which being Basilius the Minister of Defence being captured this brings one to speculate if the Victory was at too great a cost. If Fontan has lost their General to the prisons of LOF then who will take charge in his absence and will said person be able to crumble or surpass the walls of Fontan once again. In the up and coming days we will watch and see if Fontan can hold onto their recent victory or if they will have to trundle home rearm and refit then march back for round two of what seems a never ending seige. One thing must be said..if LOF can survive this war then it will be a miracle indeed. ==== Tournament in Domus Results ==== --Blade Donivan, 30 may 2007 Editorial The tournament in Domus is over and the results are in with the semi finals consisting of 4 of the best swordsmen on the Islands and what more of notice 3 of them were Ibladeshian.. the swordsmasters have a reason to be proud as these excelent Nobles upheld their Realms name and with every right too. The following is a copy of my scribes note on the last two rounds. Semifinal round: Blood from Ibladesh -beats- Mathew from Ibladesh Dread from Ibladesh -beats- Guis'wa from Fontan Final Round: Dread from Ibladesh -beats- Blood from Ibladesh Winner: Dread Unfortunatly my skill at the tournament has been nothing to shout about wether it be all the dougnuts i consumed or the fact i was completely drunk during my rounds in the ring i managed to reach only the second round. Also a big thanks must go to my scribe Mr Nobbin who duly took note of all that was going on considering i was unconcious due to drink lying in the corner of the tavern. Congratulations to Sir Dread for winning and Sir Blood and Sir Matthew your skills with a sword have set a standard that we all must aim to achieve if we are to keep up with the Ibladeshian swordsmen. ==== Tournament in Domus announced ==== --Blade Donivan, 24 may 2007 Editorial Prandur, Duke of Domus has announced a tournament of Swordfighting to be held in Domus 7 days from now.

Blade Donivan ==== All is quiet or is it ==== --Blade Donivan, 23 may 2007 Editorial In the East Islands years ago many wished for only one thing. That thing, that idea was that of a continent in peace. The idea of peace or at least the thought of it tasted sweet to many. Now months after the land has been at peace with the exception of the LOF versus Fontan war many nobles are getting restless. It seems the lack of war and the thought of precious suits of armour and swords rusting isnt as appealing as many once thought. The main question at this time is who will step out of line first? I personally believe that restlessness, greed or the desire for mass battles will overcome even the most patient of men. We here at the Red Star Courier will keep our eyes and ears open and keep you our beloved readers up to date. ==== Month in Review ==== --by Blade Donivan, 23 May 2007 Feature This months feature will hopefull be an interview...if possible with Rackir..well i have to ask his permission first but we hope to get a details report of Dunkontology, its views and its goals.
