The Rampant Lion

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.)

Commentary    June 13, 2007    Arch Priestess Vs High Priestess Amongst the undead and monster invasions, there has been a heated realm-wide discussion between the Arch Priestess of Perdan and the Prophet of Humanity. Arch Priestess Balkeese 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 response to the arguments, Duke Screndt made a public proclamation that no Perdanese priest was to preach in the city of Aix. Count Maelg of Dimwood, elder of the Church of Humanity and devote follower of Goddess Celestine realigned his region to the Duchy of Perdan with the following words: "I will not have as my liege someone who forbids my religion."    June 13, 2007    Pontifex Sorcha Steps Down In a surprise announcement Pontifex Sorcha has stepped down from the rulership of Ibladesh.
