A rare battle between near-equal forces ended in defeat today as a Falasan/Minas Ithil Army invaded the recently freed region of Picnu. 16470 CS of Rabbits/MI went against 15315 CS of Tara/Darka troops in a brutal battle. Despite the valiant defense of our soldiers and allies, we were overrun in a protracted battle.

A couple of days ago, Tara recaptured Meldeen, under a brutal takeover.  It was necessary in order to bring the region under our control.  The peasants were none too happy with the brutality, and under the new rules of war, Tara is only permitted to lay claim to Meldeen.  Although, Redspan has said they have no intentions of reclaiming Meldeen, their actions were to attack our forces shortly after making that claim to Achilles among all the rulers.

"I am sorry it has come to this, but Redspan refuses to accept blaim for their treachury.", Achilles was quoted as saying. "Our next steps should be a bit easier given the amount of loss suffered by our enemies."

The rules of war have been changed.  Now, when any nation takes land from another, it will be recognized as "claimed" or "under claim". And until the two nations sign into peace, it will remain that way. The issue is, one can not appoint a Regional Lord to govern the people, thereby making it more difficult to keep under our control.  Further more, without the Regional Lord, peasants are less likely to pay the taxes owed to the claiming nation.  No recruitment centers may be built, or any other building for that matter. 
+
There has been a large resurgence of undead and monster activity in Carelia, the Cagilan Empire, Darka and Tara. These evil creatures are of such size and strength that normal militia units are incapable of stopping them. Thus, it is with reluctance that each realm must dispatch a task force for disposal.

Shamus called on Achilles to stop the war because of his hatred.  The Redspan revealer says Achilles hates Redspan. Is this all true?  This report dove into the mind of Achilles himself to find out the source for this so called, hatred.
+
One of the early questions in this war has always been the early warning the Ash Sea Islands received during the massing of our armies at their border. We have later learned that a traitor from Suville leaked the liberation plans to our enemies, prolonging the war and suffering of ASI.
  
−
(R) Reporter - Achilles, there are rumors that you "hate" Redspan, is this true?
+
Clearly, Sir Damian Bedwyr, Duke of Stoneville can be none other than the traitor in question. HE made ASI suffer and, indeed, the argument can be made that the Falasan War is his fault as well.  
−
:(A) Achilles - Not in the least. I feel they betrayed us, and that they want to not account for that and anything they may have caused our land, but hatered is a personal vendetta, and I am merly serving the will of the people.
 
−
(R) - How can you say that?  Serving the will of the people would be to bring peace, would it not?
 
−
:(A) - Depends on the will of the people.  They want to be a bigger realm, and therefore I've ensured them we would be.
 
−
(R) - So what about hatered, it is widely felt you hate Redspan?
 
−
:(A) - I do not hate Redspan.  They are an untrustworthy realm.  They were given chances to do the right thing, and apparently, they consider the right thing different than we do.
 
−
(R) - Do you plan on being merciful to Redspan?
 
−
: (A) - Mercy is granted to those who properly ask for it.  We have terms for mercy, but Redspan has to accept them.  I do not suspect they will.
 
−
(R) - What of Abington and Carelia, did they not also plan to attack you?
 
−
: (A) - Each bridge is different.  Currently, we are at war with all 3 Nations.  It is strategicly impossible to wage war at once on all 3 nations.  We have strategic plans layed out, and unfortunately for Redspan they are the closest enemy.
 
−
(R) - Is there anything you'd like to say to Redspan or her Troop Leaders?
 
−
: (A) - Yes, you're going through a rough time now, similar to when Tara was at war.  We know the feeling, we bear no pleasure in being the cause of that feeling, I assure you.  And know this, Tara does not <i>hate</i> Redspan.
 
  
−
Achilles was unable to continue the interview, as he recieved orders from his General to return to Foda, he excused himself and promptly left.
+
The Tara Times will seek to confirm this speculation and get back to you.

Falasan Inquirer Admits Fault!

I have just finished reviewing past issues of our brother journalists across the divide and I have come to a stunning article...

Falasan admits they are to blame for the war!

Indeed. In a fine display of honesty, the most recent edition of the Falasan Newspaper freely admits that it was their ineptitude and foolishness that has caused all this mayhem. Thousands of deaths and countless villages could have been spared had the stubborn Rabbit King shared the views of his reporters.
