The view from Tara

September 6th, 2007 I have taken to the streets here in Stargard to find out what people think. Here is my interview of Xeon the Shadow, Count of Jagla: 1. What do you think of Stargard and its smell? Xeon the Shadow: I just love this place... Roasted goats three times a day... Too bad the local population is decreasing rapidly because of this diet. Smell? What smell? Xeon fixes his home-made gas mask. Is there any? 2. Do you think the war was worth it? Xeon the Shadow: Believe me a war is always worth to fight. Try to live a few months without one and you will start killing your friends out of boredom... Personally i liked the previous war with Redspan... Huge armies fighting over Meldeen... Too bad everything that is left of Redspan now is a bunch of dirty peasants... 3. If you were Dictator, would you do anything differently? Xeon the Shadow: Oh, yes! I would!!! I would ban all the reporters from my realm and would write the history as I please... Wait, can I write... Damn... So I'll need at least one after all... Too bad that by the time I become a dictator there would be no enemies left to kill - Lister is doing his job really well :) 4. What do you think of the refugees infesting the city? Xeon the Shadow: Refugees... i thought they lived here... Though I must say that the local peasantry are really annoying. Can't they understand that a bar of soap won't kill them... 5. What should Tara do now? Xeon the Shadow: Once we TO Stargard we'll have more than enough work to do to return this city to its former glory... And it takes more time to rebuild than to destroy.

Desperate Goats take Desperate Actions.

September 6th, 2007 The progressing cleansing of Stargard is driving its inhabitants to hope and the future free of goats and filth. However, not all share this view. During the past few days, a rising tide to duels have issued forth from Redspan Nobles living in the streets of this city. Stripped of their army, their lands and soon their capital, these poor souls seek death as a means of redemption. Already, a duel between Ceng Kwee (Knight of Andurus) and Dabug Habap (Knight of Stargard) have led to serious wounds for both. There are also reports that AJ von Krondor, High Marshal of RedSpan has challenged James Atkinson General of Tara, Marshal of the Grand Taran Army of Foda to a death duel. We must resist the urge to slay these sad souls. Our religion, The Order, compels us to save them, liberate them from the pathetic condition Da Way has led them. the manxy watty, Executor of Tara, Count of Tandsu has therefore banned all duels. Once again, the Nobles of Tara must sacrifice for the greeater good. Written by Jose dela Cruz

The Rise and Fall of a realm called Redspan

September 2nd, 2007 The end of Redspan has officially begun today as Tara begins the annexation of her capital, Stargard. Though previous attempts at liberation have failed in the past, there is now little that can stop this following the liberation of Sullenport a few days ago. Once Stargard falls, the Goat Realm will have no place for a capital and no home at all. Born in fury and dying in ignominy, few expected Redspan to end this way. No glorious last stand. No noble death. The once proud realm who held off most of the continent several times against impossible odds now dies alone, abandoned by her friends and scorned by her enemies. Where are the warriors of yore and legend? Have they all become flowers, every one? Certainly none can recognize the pitiful resistance seen during this war as resembling the acts of a competent army. Certain people believe that Da Goat religion has sapped the vitality of Redspan. If so, all efforts must be done to end such a scourge from infecting Tara as well. Written by Jose dela Cruz
