As Stimok was victim of an assassination in Mapo, the suppected assassin made the following prophetic statement:
"It is still not too late. Southasland still exists, even though you TIII'ers are well on the way of getting it entirely cleared off the map. You can still leave and have Southasland be the true Southasland again.
There is no way you can ever win. When you won your silly rebellion, you claimed you would do much better than the previous government. Did you? Did you really?
You claimed you were going to gain Southasland many regions (when the previous government had just gained Sh 2 regions, something that hadn't happened for a long time). Did you? All I see is Southasland losing regions. You lost Picnu, and you're losing Cori. Mapo is only a matter of time, and no doubt Tucha will fall after that.
You claimed you had some masterplan, that you were going to get Sh many allies. Did you? All I see is you got yourself into war with BoM, ASI, Falasan, Norland and MI. Even without ruler you would have done better than that.
And you claimed you were going to be a much more open government, because the previous government didn't tell anything about what it was doing. Did you? For all I remember, before the rebelion came we were very open for criticism, and every tl knew which war we were fighting, and what the reasons were. And so you did better? All I see is you turned Southasland into a Tyranny, with a Dictator instead of a Monarch! And all I hear is you aren't sharing any information with the rest of your realm, and all I hear is no one knows why you had to end up in such a big war, with such big odds against you.
Well I tell you, and now I'm speaking to all of you, not only the parts of the TIII rebellion, but also the other members of what once was Southasland: It is not too late!
You can still change it. You TIII guys can still hand us back our Southasland. The other members of Southasland, you are still strong! Perhaps now is not the moment for a rebellion, but sooner or later no doubt you will succeed in a rebellion.
Be it from the inside or the outside, this TIII will fall. So you have the choice: leave it and let it be Southasland again, or fight a few more weeks and have TIII sink into ashes, taking Southasland with you. If you have anything of honor left, then you leave when you see you are destroyed.
If not, well, then we'll continue like we're doing. Within 2 weeks Southasland will have nothing but Tucha left, and after that destruction is near. You will be fought from the inside, by soldiers from the outside, and I will continue taking out all of you TIII'ers, like happened today with Stimok. All up to you...

Aglyn the Banker of Southasland has been captured by Falasan forces during the battle in Cori, beginning a massive invasion of more than 2000 men from the north. This quickly turned into an occupationa and annexation of Cori by Falasan. The few civil leaders that got out of Cori speak of a high level of brutality, large fires and massive killings.
On the comic side guards in Tucha arrested the former Banker earlier while he tried to break into the tax offices. Apparently he forgot to tie his shoelaces and triped over the watch of the vaults!

The enemy started to plunder Mapo.

Archimonde Of Mystics, now of Ash Sea Islands, was terminated by the Executor of Southasland as a traitor despite of his claims of being a peaceful trader come to sell food to the people of Tucha. A report by Vos Estis can be found here.
Later in the day large forces from the North entered and started plundering Mapo in the most brutal way. Looting high and low, burning villages and farms and killing the locals. Despite this the guards in Mapo managed to arrest Ordieth Vangir from Norland, while he tried to break into the tax offices.
2005-03-15
Though the heavy plundering of Mapo still continued on this day and the one before, troops from Ash Sea Islands began to replace goverment officals in order to take control of the region. Most of their northern allies had though moved south.
Again in spite of the massive presence of foreign troops guards in Mapo was quick when a local warehouse was set on fire and managed to arrest the saboteur, lexxwern Mishra of Falasan. A infamous and very active infiltrator known well by the public of Southasland. Many in the Southasland goverment would like to see him follow Ordieth's, who was executed in Tucha today, path to the scaffold. An account of his swift execution can be found here.
2005-03-16
As Abington declared war on Southasland, an attack was launched from Tucha on Inxi to counteract the activities in Mapo.
Not long after a supprising set of signatures was placed on a treaty of cease fire between Minas Ithil and Southasland. Though most likely fragile a clear progress for Southasland.

In the afternoon rumours started to spread in Tucha that the former Dictator Lister was seen drinking cider with friends in a local establisment. This was soon confirmed by several govermental officials.
2005-03-18
After long and outstanding brutality Mapo was finally lost to Ash Sea Islands as they took over by killing the loyal civil leaders there and slaughtering any who opposed them. Rumors from the region tell of partisans starting a guerilla war against the usurpers. By this half of Tank's prophecy had come true. Tough a week too late.
