In a move that stunned the Taran People, the Prime Minister of the Cagilan Empire has declared war against Suville. Our Goodwill Tour has since been abruptly cut short as the participating CE contingent has instead begun besieging our former hosts.
+
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.
  
−
The Army of Tara is currently attempting to vacate the area of hostilities and avoid being drawn in the larger conflict. Already, minor skirmishes have taken place as CE Nobles travelling with our army attacked local garrisons. One Suville Noble was wounded and his unit destroyed is the latest count.  
+
Rest assured, this is only a minor delay in our plans of spreading Freedom to the Oppressed.

To promote peace and better understanding among our neighbors, the Army of Tara and the Cagilan Empire Mobile Task Force have travelled to the former lands of Abington. It is hoped that this humanitarian mission will heal any leftover resentment that was caused by our participation in that realm's eradication.

I am pleased to report that we have met great success so far! The realm of Caergoth, in particular, have assembled their entire army in Wayburg to greet us as we travelled in their realm. Though not as warmly welcoming, the Protectorate of Magnus was reported to be pleased that the Cagilan Empire visited them. Expect trade to improve as our respective peoples begin to open their wallets in pursuit of exotic goods and services.

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.
  
−
Lastly, the separated Armies are scheduled to meet in Suville. As the richest and most powerful of the Abington Spawns, this realm is expected to provide the most profit and entertainment during the Tour. We expect impressive results when our business is finished there. One can only hope it isn't all hype!

ASI has takenover Barnlure in a pointless gesture of defiance. This action has only delayed the eventual assimilation of the Capital into Carelia. Still, we salute ASI in its will to fight destiny.

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.

Fall of Ash'rily
September 16th, 2008

3 days ago... 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.

Other News... ASI has takenover Barnlure in a pointless gesture of defiance. This action has only delayed the eventual assimilation of the Capital into Carelia. Still, we salute ASI in its will to fight destiny.

Upsurge of Monsters Delay Advance!
September 8th, 2008

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!

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!
September 2nd, 2008

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.

The Tara Times urges the Falasan Inquirer to promote an unconditional surrender among their people. This is the only humane action in the face of their nation's culpability in recent events.

Tara Times is BACK!
September 1st, 2008

The pressures of war have forced all available staff to the frontlines, abandoning their journalism duties for the greater good. As the tide of war turns our way, we have now found the time to continue our work here at the paper.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
