New Field Marshal, New Hope

September 13th

Today, after a fine display of inability to lead*, Raziel III Himoura was relieved from duty. Sir Voragh Orim is a new Field Marshal of Minas Ithil. He successfully performed this duty before, which brings new hope that Ithilian army shall improve their performance in the field. This, along with region of Cori joining Falasan, should be fair wind in the sails of Eastern Alliance. Also, Taleriumites haven't been seen on the battlefield awhile; all this could mean better times are ahead. On the other hand, Tarans are aplenty. They have been so insolent as to start a takeover in Chuca, a Falasani region bordering Minas Ithil. Luckily, with a quick military reaction this unfortunate turn of events has been reverted. Well known to fight only greatly outnumbered opponent, Tarans have fled the field in direction of Picnu. It is only safe to say that bloody days await... Editors Note: Field Marshal Raziel III has been battling illness. The healers have apparently determined that extended rest is needed.

Taran Ascent

September 6th

Tara has grown to the 4th largest realm in all of Atamara. Now controlling 20 regions Tara is close behind Darka (21 regions) and Carelia (22 regions). Tara has risen quickly, forcefully taking whole sections of Falasan and Ash Sea Islands for itself. Tara now has its eyes on the isolated Falasani city of Tucha. With the addition of that city Tara could soon have more peasants than either Minas Ithil and Carelia.
