And now a word from our Dictator...

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.

The Fourteen Commandments of Cat and Mouse
+
<i>3 days ago...</i>
−
1. No stabbing Council Members.
+
We have just gotten word that a major assault has overrun Ash'rily, capital of the Ash Sea Islands. An estimated 30,000 CS Army of Caergoth/Carelia defeated ASI's 15,000 CS defenders in a titanic battle. Damage to both armies and the fortifications have been massive.
−
2. No stabbing City Commanders.
 
−
3. No stabbing traders (to distinguish from real traders and covert ones, a list of traders will be exchanged.
 
−
4. The mouse is the only one allowed to do any stabbing of nobles, knights, and counts. However, all infiltrators have free reign to stab any infiltrators.
 
−
5. No torturing, banning, deporting or killing captured infiltrators.
 
−
6. Set the captured infiltrators free with no penalties.
 
−
7. The mouse's name will be shared with the rulers only and held by them only. A safety feature in case some other infiltrator gets some crazy ideas.
 
−
8. Both realms and all of their members are aware that it is a game.
 
−
9. No stealing gold.
 
−
10. No blowing up walls.
 
−
11. No burning food.
 
−
12. Only one infiltrator from a realm is the mouse at any given time.
 
−
13. If the mouse is imprisoned, or seriously injured by the other realm's infiltrators, then the becomes the other realm's infiltrators' turn to be the mouse.
 
−
14. If either Falasan or Tara enters into a war, either one may declare the game over, to be restarted at a later date as decided by the rulers only. (two turn grace period to get the information out to all realm members.)

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.

We do not know how Falasan has done this but rest assured, the Freedom of Rabbits is still our highest priority!

A sense of impending doom is quietly spreading in various realms as people witness a slew of Alliances between Falasan/ASI and the former Abington's Duchies. Concern is mounting over another massive war between the powerful Western Alliance against the ever strengthening Eastern and Northern Alliances. Time will tell if these fears are grounded or not.

As anyone can see in the map, we are doing very well. There is almost no resistance now when our army liberates Rabbit regions. Peasants welcome Tara with open arms. Both Barad Falas and Tucha are surrounded, there people starving while their Lords flee. As I write this, I look out my window and witness the massive army gathering for the siege of Barad Falas. Once that persecuted city is free, Falasan will be broken.

With the sudden vacation of James due to Family Obligations, the Dictator has chosen to honor me as the new General of Tara. Whether this is permanent remains to be seen as James has been out of touch recently. Still, great relief has spread throughout Tara as security of a peaceful turnover spreads.

Correction:
September 19th, 2008

It has been brought to our attention that Ash'rily is NOT the capital of the Ash Sea Islands. The correct capital is Ser'quia. We apologize for our error.

Personally, I really don't see the point of this since ASI will be extinct soon. The Dead Bear No Ill Will...

Setbacks on the Northern Front
September 16th, 2008

A coordinated counterattack by Falasan and Minas Ithil has succeeded in taking Cori and Picnu away from us. With our own allies unavailable and monsters/Norland Raiders n the rear, we have been unable to muster enough to resist.

Rest assured, this is only a minor delay in our plans of spreading Freedom to the Oppressed.

Traitor Identified at Last?
September 1st, 2008

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.

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.

The Tara Times will seek to confirm this speculation and get back to you.

Falasan Inquirer Admits Fault!

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.
