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."''

* Sir WAYLANDER
+
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.}}

|headline=Light of Fountain On Its Last Legs
 +
|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.

In addition, Sir Remorse was tortured by Amreadil, the judge of Avamar Selective, twice.  
+
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.}}

article = The walls of Chaos Temple failed to protect the usurpers a second time, as the waves of attacking soldiers from [[Perdan]] and [[Itorunt]] swarmed over the fortifications. The second wave of attackers completed the work begun by the brave first wave of attackers that destroyed a large portion of the walls. The second fierce round of battles resulted in several more nobles from both sides getting captured and wounded. One notable prisoner delivered to the dungeons under Perdan city was Lady Donna Ragna, former ruler of the Kalmar Islands.

headline = The Assault on Chaos Temple Begins!|
 
−
article = The massed assault of forces from [[Perdan]] and [[Itorunt]] on the fortress of [[East Continent/Chaos Temple|Chaos Temple]] has finally begun. 1,500 troops assaulted the fortress walls with numerous siege engines, against 1,041 defending troops. The battle raged for many hours, with the attackers eventually being pushed back. During the battle the fortifications were breached in several places, reducing their effectiveness from a fortress ''(5)'' to a stronghold ''(4)''. Most of the militia manning the walls were killed, and the remainder of the defending forces were decimated. The lack of population in the region, plus the wounding of the local Duke, will prevent the adding of more militia to reinforce the walls and the hiring of more troops by the nobles.
 
  
−
Many valiant nobles were wounded and captured on both sides. Two of the defending nobles were captured, including Fia, the Minister of Defense of Kalmar Islands. Twelve additional defending nobles were wounded, including Sir Lalakis, Duke of Chaos Temple, and Sir Kocur, Minister of Finances of Kalmar Islands.

article =Arch Priestess [[Indirik Family/Balkeese|Balkeese Indirik]] has issued a standing order for the arrest of all priests of [[Gymnistism]] in [[Perdan]]ese lands. The order was sent out following the mass rioting of common folk in [[East Continent/Bastad|Bastad]] at the urgings of the Gymnist priests. Several of these priests have been returning to Perdan lands following repeated attempts to convince them otherwise, including lengthy stays in the dungeons. It has become increasingly obvious as time goes by that these priests of Gymnistism are merely tools of the occupational government of the Islands, and are being used in a futile attempt to prop up their failing government. Their actions are clearly against the best interests of the common folk they claim to represent, and have resulted in the deaths of of over 100 commoners. As a result, no priests of Gymnistism will be allowed in Perdanese lands. Any of their priests caught trespassing in Perdan will be harshly punished.}}

The realm of Avamar Selective is currently in even worse shape than Kalmar Islands. Avamar Selective, while also reduced to a mere two regions, is currently undergoing a takeover of their capital city at the hands of [[Old Rancagua]]. The takeover has been running for several days, and is sure to be completed soon.}}

article =Over the course of the past several weeks, Perdan has slowly, but surely, been taking control of the southernmost of the Kalmar Islands. In this time, a rather interesting pattern has emerged. The military forces of the [[Kalmar Islands]] have refused to meet the military forces of [[Perdan]] in a battle on the open fields. The few nobles brave enough to meet the army of Perdan have quickly been outnumbered and surrendered. Most of them have, in fact, declared their opposition to the occupational government, and abandoned their former Island masters. And while their regions are inexorably liberated from their ruinous, clutching fingers, the occupational forces sit behind their walls and press more and more commoners into forced military service. Every commoner with two legs and at least one arm is given a sword or a knife and sent to man the formidable walls of [[East Continent/Chaos Temple|Chaos Temple]]. But even with hundreds of troops manning the walls, the nobles of the Kalmar Islands still refuse to sally forth to defend their realm through strength of arms. What do they do instead? They send priests. Naked priests.
 
  
−
For the past two weeks, a near flood of priests of [[Gymnistism]] has flowed out of Chaos Temple, and into the regions of [[East Continent/Bastad|Bastad]], [[East Continent/Lundel|Lundel]], and [[East Continent/Venas|Venas]]. Where the warriors of the Islands refuse to travel, the priests of Gymnistism bravely tread. These priests are clearly puppets of the Kalmar Islands. Their preachings attempt to extol the virtues of the occupational government, and harangue the liberationist troops. They attempt to bolster the sagging morale and loyalty of regions being wrested from the Islands greedy grasp. Even though these priests have been clearly warned to stay out of the lands flying the flag of Perdan, they still come. They are arrested by the nobles of Perdan, sit in the dungeons of Perdan for a week, are released, and come right back. The interesting part is that each of these priests seems to be carrying a rather large amount of gold. It is not uncommon for these priests to be carrying in excess of 80 gold pieces each. This is nearly a full year's worth of tax income for a noble of the Kalmar Islands. Where does this wealth come from, and why are these supposedly simple priests carrying this much personal wealth?
+
[[Ibladesh]] has taken control of [[Zawr]] from [[Itorunt]].
  
−
The nobles of Perdan have some admiration for these priests of Gymnistism. The strength of their (misguided) convictions is something to be envied. Their dedication to their cause is staunch and unwavering. But while this is all true, it is important to note what this also tells us of the mind set of the remaining nobles of the Islands. They are willing to sit behind the walls of their fortress and send unarmed (and unclothed!) priests out to defend their kingdom. Surely a realm that would refuse to defend their kingdom by force of arms, and would rather let naked priests incite the masses of commoners instead, is one that truly does not deserve to rule a kingdom.}}

Scout reports of [[East Continent/Chaos Temple|Chaos Temple]] provide a very revealing insight into the state of things in that enigmatic stronghold. The population of the stronghold, normally in the thousands, has been reduced to a mere '''42''' commoners! Historical records obtained by our scouts show that the population levels in the past have gotten down as low as '''35'''! We can only guess at the horrible conditions in the stronghold that could have driven the population so low.

article =It seems as if the common fold of [[East Continent/Kazan|Kazan]], [[East Continent/Kazakh|Kazakh]], and [[East Continent/Juazeiro|Juazeiro]] were not too happy to learn that they owed allegiance to [[Avamar Selective]]. The common folk of these regions rose up in revolt against their new masters and initiated their own friendly take over of the regions to return themselves to the ownership of [[Old Rancagua]]. The revolts were quick and orderly. All three regions rapidly threw off the yoke of the usurpers, and are now firmly back under the wing of Old Rancagua.

It has been determined that the so-called nobles of Avamar Selective did not assault the rightful lords of the region prior to taking control. Instead, they bribed the officials in the regions to hand control over to Avamar Selective, while the rightful lords were still seated! This incurred tremendous expenses on the part of the usurpers. Our sources indicate that nearly 24,000 gold was spent in forgeries and bribes. While their control of the regions was short-lived, Avamar Selective still maintains their claim that they have a legitimate right tot he regions. This could have some long-term effects on the production and usefulness of the regions to Old Rancagua.}}

article =In a maneuver that surprised the East Continent yesterday, Bladesinger of [[Avamar Selective]] bribed public officials and bought the titles to the region of [[East Continent/Kazan|Kazan]] out from under the nose of [[Old Rancagua]], and added it to the list of regions that owe fealty to Avamar Selective. Although expensive, the maneuver was only a hinting of things to come. Mere hours later Chancellor Amreadil of Avamar Selective moved into the city of [[East Continent/Kazakh|Kazakh]] and bribed the officials in the city to declare him as the rightful Duke of Kazakh! Amreadil reportedly spent nearly '''8,000 gold''' on bribes before he managed to convince the local officials to risk their lives on the forging of the official document. After the deception was discovered, it was too late. The officials perpetrating the act were nowhere to be found, and Avamar Selective had already taken possession of the region. Old Rancagua is expected to rapidly retake control of the city, but the shadow of the claim by Avamar Selective will have long lasting effects on the productivity of the region.

'''Update:''' Lady Althea of Avamar Selective has now bought the title of [[East Continent/Juazeiro|Juazeiro]] away from Old Rancagua. It is believed that assassins from Avamar Selective are attacking the regional lords of Old Rancagua in order to clear the titles so the region lordships can be bought. This string of region losses will surely be extremely damaging to Old Rancagua.}}

Yesterday morning, the armies of both of the realms put to sea from the [[East Continent/Perdan Mines|Perdan Mines]] for [[East Continent/Venas|Venas]]. The expeditionary force is ultimately bound for the realm of [[Kalmar Islands]] to liberate it from the occupying government. Resistance is already being met in the form of infiltrator activity delaying travel. With the long travel times across the islands, it remains to be see how much of an effect this will have on the invasion forces. As expected, the defenders have decided to retreat behind the walls of [[East Continent/Chaos Temple|Chaos Temple]] and await the assault. This is typical of the tactics used by Kalmar Islands and [[Avamar Selective]] against the invasion forces of [[Old Rancagua]], [[Sirion]], and [[Fontan]]. It will take much work from the Marshals of the invasion force to coordinate the arrival times of the multitude of troops.  But if it can be done properly, the attackers should have no trouble overwhelming the defenders.

TRL Header.png


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.
- Edmund Burke (attrib.)

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.

Light of Fountain Is No More
Fontan has captured the stronghold of Akesh Temple, the capital of Light of Fountain. This brings an end to the theocracy of Light of Fountain.

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.
