|headline= Ashforth Sacked
article = Today all of [[Perdan]] is in mourning over the departure of our long-time Royal Treasurer, Cesare Salinado. Lord Cesare was the driving force behind feeding the commoners of Perdan despite a large shortage of Perdan's food supply. Lord Cesare was unavoidably called away on family business, leading to a sudden retirement from public service. In fact, Lord Cesare has disappeared altogether from Perdan. We hope that some day he may return.

|article= At the same time that [[Fontan]] has been taking control of the capital of Light of Fountain, they have also been fiercely attacking [[Old Rancagua]]. While successfully attacking and defeating the Old Rancaguan army, the Fontanese army has been plundering the Old Rancaguan capital city of [[Ashforth]]. Fontan's simultaneous military accomplishments against Sirion, Old Rancagua, and Light of Fountain have been extremely successful.}}

|headline= Itorunt Nobles Tortured and Executed
 +
|article= Two days ago Sir Geoffrey, a noble of [[Itorunt]], was executed by Sir Eleran Perfect II, judge of [[Tuchanon V]]. This follows closely on the heels of the execution of Itoruntian noble Sir Olorin at the hands of Sir Lothar of [[Ubent]]. Both realms had non-execution agreements with Itorunt at the time. Both judges also claimed that they were new to the office of judge, and were not aware of any such agreement. Sir Eleran not only stated that he did not know of any agreement, but that it did not matter if a prior judge of Tuchanon V had made such an agreement, as the agreement was not made with him. Sir Eleran's statement regarding the matter was extremely confused: ''"Itorunt and Tuchanon V do not have any agreements. Itorunt may have one with Tuchanon V, but I do not have one with Itorunt."''
  
After a long, and somewhat tumultuous, search, Queen Evangeline has announced the appoint of Lord Fire Fox Wylie as the new Royal Treasurer of Perdan. Lord Fire Fox was appointed immediately following the stepping down of Lord Cesare. Lord Fire Fox will have a difficult task in feeding the commoners of Perdan, but he is confident that he can meet the demands of his new office.}}
+
Sir Geoffrey was also repeatedly tortured only 10 days ago by Sir Rackir, also of Tuchanon V. When questioned about the events, Sir Rackir replied that since he was incapable of defending his lands militarily, that he ''"..will make their nobles pay..."''. This tactic is reminiscent of the tactics of those employed by the Avamarian occupational government of the Kalmar Islands against the liberating army of Perdan. These tactics backfired against the Avamarians in the Islands, and they will no doubt backfire against the Tuchanons as well. Such desperate brutality only engenders hatred and resentment against those who employ it.}}

|article=Despite being caught in a war against four enemies, [[Fontan]] has shown great military acumen in prosecuting the war. They have held off assaults by [[Sirion]], [[Old Rancagua]], [[Obsidian Islands]], and [[Light of Fountain]]. Not only that, they have managed to gain territory despite the number of enemies they have faced. Fontan has taken control of [[Poitiers]] from Old Rancagua, and [[Tokat]] and [[Sordidus]] from Light of Fountain. Although they lost control of [[Montijo]] to Sirion for a short while, they took control of the region of [[Oberndorf]] away from Sirion in return.

headline = Bounty Extravaganza|
 
article =Queen Evangeline of Perdan has broken records with a bounty of 3,500 gold. Perdan has been discussing the source and reasoning for the bounty.  Sir Corax, early this week, summarised and outlined some of the discussed "Conspiracy Theories".
 
  
<i>"Theory #1
+
Following a series of battles and TOs, Fontan has now reduced Light of Fountain to a single region: Their capital in [[Akesh Temple]]. Fontan is also currently in uncontested possession of Akesh Temple, with Light of Fountain having no military forces left at all. It will only be a matter of time, days perhaps, before Fontan completes eliminates the realm that seceded from them nearly two years ago.}}
Multiple realms, its council members are involved in placing the bounty. What they hope to achieve, as Duke Nightmare pointed out, we attack a realm because an infiltrator attacked her majesty, they will come together and "defend" this realm. The infiltrator's home realm will claim that it is an action of a rogue infiltrator - politically, if we start a war base on the action of an individual, they will have all the justification they need to enter the war. So which realms are most likely to do that?

Theory #2

|headline=Caligus Retakes Domus!
Some nobles are trying to dethrone her majesty and hope to grab power, so their leader asked support from the high nobility of other realms to place the bounties on her majesty. They would have prepared all their voting documents and if her majesty is ever seriously wounded unexpectedly (ooc:right before turn change) without prior notice, that person and its supported stand a very good chance and grabbing power before the rest of us could react. Why would the others help? Again, the opportunity to start a war with us.

|article=Word has recently reached us that [[Caligus]] has retaken control of the city of [[Domus]]. This momentous event will surely allow Caligus to prosecute their war on Yssaria with much greater ease.}}

High nobility of certain realms - could even be our allies - wants to start a war but they want us to start it. If it were our allies or enemies of the realm we attack, they will "support" us, if it were our enemies they will defend whoever we attack."</i>

Royal Treasurer Cesare has announced that he can no longer continue with his duties as banker. Cesare, along with ][osferatu, is one of the longest serving realm council members in Perdan.

headline = Southern Federation Crumbling?|
 
article =Word has reached Perdan of a coming rift in the Southern Federation. In a speech to the rulers of the East Island today, King Lucian announced that Itorunt would be breaking ranks with Ibladesh and Yssaria and leaving the Federation.<sup>[[The Rampant Lion/LucianJuly18|[ref]]]</sup> Among the reasons cited were Ibladesh's support of the Kalmar Islands during Itorunt's war with the Islands, giving refuge to Kalmar refugees, and appointing former Kalmar leaders to positions of power in Ibladesh.
 
 
 
Although King Lucian's announcement stated that Itorunt did not intend to prosecute a war against Ibladesh. However, he also stated that "...if such is the path decided we shall not falter...". Such statements are producing some confusion among the nobles of the East Island. Itorunt has stated that they do not intend to prosecute a war, but will do so if such is decided? But who will decide whether or not to let the situation devolve into a war? Will a faction in Itorunt make the decision? Or will the armies of Ibladesh or Yssaria decide to punish Itorunt for the breaking of the Federation? The entire East Island is anxiously awaiting the outcome, whichever it may be.

headline = Assassin Captured!|
 
article = For the past two weeks a rogue assassin has been rampaging across Perdan. The string of assassinations left three noble seriously wounded, including the very first victim, Baron Milo. Three other nobles reported assassination attempts against their persons, including the editor of this paper: Balkeese, Arch Priestess of Perdan. A failed attack on Sir Modi of Perdan today resulted in the capture of the assassin who is suspected in several of these attacks. The assassin was found to be none other than Sir Kalim, who is also a noble of Perdan. Inquiries are underway to ascertain the the guilt or innocence of Sir Kalim in the other 5 incidents.

After 2 days, Arch Priestess Balkeese deported Kalim to the FEI.  There is a restless, unease remaining.  After over 1,000 days service for the Perdan, nobles wonder why Kalim would turn on his realm or whether the assassination on Modi was an accident.  It appears these mysteries will remain unanswered.

Priest OldenRat today risked persecution to minister to the Church's followers.

Arch Priestess Balkeese, at the direction of the Church Treasurer and Founder (since abdicated from their positions), negotiated a religious arrangement with Itorunt in which priests of either religion could preach freely in either realm.  Prophet Tabatha asserted that Perdan's religion was not interested in expanding its religious borders and would've preferred the Arch Priestess to not have made the deal.  Heated discussion on who holds authority over religious negotiations has been had for all to witness.

In every land, in every age, there are always tyrants that will prey on those who are weaker than themselves. Given free reign, they will spread their lies across the land. They build empires on a foundation of deceit, manipulation, and boundless ambition. Left unchecked these tyrants will devastate East Island, and all it's inhabitants, in wars without end. The Kingdom of Perdan will not stand idly by while the East Island is led into ruin and destruction. The Rampant Lion will stand forth as a beacon of truth regarding the travails of Perdan as it seeks to oppose those who would bring destruction upon our lands. As events in Perdan unfold, they will be chronicled here so all people on the East Island have access to an accurate, fair accounting of the events taking place in our world.
The only thing necessary
for the triumph [of evil]
is for good men to do nothing.

Ashforth Sacked
At the same time that Fontan has been taking control of the capital of Light of Fountain, they have also been fiercely attacking Old Rancagua. While successfully attacking and defeating the Old Rancaguan army, the Fontanese army has been plundering the Old Rancaguan capital city of Ashforth. Fontan's simultaneous military accomplishments against Sirion, Old Rancagua, and Light of Fountain have been extremely successful.

Itorunt Nobles Tortured and Executed
Two days ago Sir Geoffrey, a noble of Itorunt, was executed by Sir Eleran Perfect II, judge of Tuchanon V. This follows closely on the heels of the execution of Itoruntian noble Sir Olorin at the hands of Sir Lothar of Ubent. Both realms had non-execution agreements with Itorunt at the time. Both judges also claimed that they were new to the office of judge, and were not aware of any such agreement. Sir Eleran not only stated that he did not know of any agreement, but that it did not matter if a prior judge of Tuchanon V had made such an agreement, as the agreement was not made with him. Sir Eleran's statement regarding the matter was extremely confused: "Itorunt and Tuchanon V do not have any agreements. Itorunt may have one with Tuchanon V, but I do not have one with Itorunt."

Sir Geoffrey was also repeatedly tortured only 10 days ago by Sir Rackir, also of Tuchanon V. When questioned about the events, Sir Rackir replied that since he was incapable of defending his lands militarily, that he "..will make their nobles pay...". This tactic is reminiscent of the tactics of those employed by the Avamarian occupational government of the Kalmar Islands against the liberating army of Perdan. These tactics backfired against the Avamarians in the Islands, and they will no doubt backfire against the Tuchanons as well. Such desperate brutality only engenders hatred and resentment against those who employ it.

Light of Fountain On Its Last Legs
Despite being caught in a war against four enemies, Fontan has shown great military acumen in prosecuting the war. They have held off assaults by Sirion, Old Rancagua, Obsidian Islands, and Light of Fountain. Not only that, they have managed to gain territory despite the number of enemies they have faced. Fontan has taken control of Poitiers from Old Rancagua, and Tokat and Sordidus from Light of Fountain. Although they lost control of Montijo to Sirion for a short while, they took control of the region of Oberndorf away from Sirion in return.

Following a series of battles and TOs, Fontan has now reduced Light of Fountain to a single region: Their capital in Akesh Temple. Fontan is also currently in uncontested possession of Akesh Temple, with Light of Fountain having no military forces left at all. It will only be a matter of time, days perhaps, before Fontan completes eliminates the realm that seceded from them nearly two years ago.
