February 28, 2008
The Ash Sea Islands fell into shocked and mournful silence this evening as news spread of the death of one of its most beloved heroes. Although at first it was not known whether the noble in question yet lived, reports have since come through to confirm our worst fears. Moses McGahee, Royal Treasurer of Ash Sea Islands and Duke of Wor'ight, fell in battle this night in valiant defence of Wynford The Chronicle pays its respects to House McGahee, and shares the sorrow felt across the land at the passing of Duke Moses. Tributes have already begun pouring in from across the Kingdom and indeed, the rest of Atamara to the lion of a man that has fallen. We here echo the sentiment of each and every tribute, each richly deserved by the man whose name is known to so many. For posterity, the battle in which Duke Moses fell shall ever be remembered and recorded within the annals of the Ash Sea Chronicle. February 27, 2008 Tricks played out in the West Reports of foreign armies roaming on Ashlantean soils have begun to filter down to the Ashlantean armies campaigning tirelessly in Protectorate lands. It seems now a breathtaking number of realms march ever south, to the Ash Sea Islands, in the hope that they can take our lush and rich lands for their own. These realms must think they are here of their own accord, but the reckoning coming has all the hallmarks of Vulpes fine tricks. This one is of the belief that greater forces than us mere mortals are at work in this strange game. The realms that have come forward as enemies of the Ash Sea Islands grow in number every day, presenting us with the greatest challenge to our strength in all our history. Yet through Vulpes' cunning shepherding we now know the faces of these acolytes of Nymkos. Our vengeance shall taste all the sweeter for it. -Wolfram February 25, 2008 A New Era in Falasan Coinciding with this time of sudden and dramatic upheaval within Atamara, Falasan too has been in some degree of upheaval these last days after King Reilwin's health took a dizzying turn for the worst. Although the full details of the King's health troubles remain unknown, it is understood that the severity of his illness prompted King Reilwin's unexpected abdication just two days ago. Several fine candidates fought in the ensuing contest for the Falasonian succession with Jambo Lamonte, Count of Anfalas eventually emerging as the victor. We at the Chronicle wish good tidings upon the new monarch and hope that his predecessor makes a swift and full recovery from his ails. -Wolfram Carelian Honour A face of Carelia previously unseen since Garthon Dunmeric's coronation was revealed today. After a handful of Ashlantean nobles bravely volunteered to travel to Riverholm as a show of our fearless defiance, Carelian forces surprisingly refused to be drawn into the ensuing battle between Suvillian and Ashlantean forces outside the city gates. Reports say that upon seeing the standards of Sir Kronos Titans, former King of Carelia, in the Ashlantean ranks, the Carelian soldiers outright refused to take up swords against the man who completely transformed that once weak kingdom into an honourable force to be reckoned with. It is a pity that sense of honour died amongst the upper echelons of the Carelian nobility as soon as he was ousted, if not amongst the Carelian soldiers whose actions this day were laudable. In the aftermath of the battle, Garthon Dumeric, King of Carelia, has since issued a wave of war declarations in what can only be an effort to try and break the back of the challenge to his authority among the troops. The Chronicle thinks it will take a lot more than that to destroy the awe that Carelians clearly still feel for their former monarch. - Wolfram February 24, 2008 Tara shows her quality In an act that surprised few in the Ash Sea Islands this morning, Lister O'claude Ve, Dictator of Tara, declared war upon our kingdom. Reports seen by this publication reveal that Tara feels aggrieved over previous words and actions of the Kings and Nobles of the Ash Sea Islands. All these are mere quibbles however, when compared to Taran actions towards the Ash Sea Islands in the recent past. Although in the end, Tara may have personally involved herself in the fall of RedSpan, just a few months before that Tara had readied itself for war alongside that disreputable kingdom, gathering in Jagla to prepare an assault against the Ash Sea Islands. Only the sheer strength of the Ashlantean response forced their stand down. More likely than aggrievement, we feel Tara is motivated purely by land lust, as ever it has been. Once again Taran relations have been dictated simply by how much land they believe they can gain with a minimum of fighting - even at the expense of their sworn agreements and alliances. The Ash Sea Islands can count itself lucky that it is now able to confront Taran treachery in the open and no longer have to endure Taran friendship in any way, shape or form. - Wolfram Return of the Chronicle! Greetings to you all, and rejoice, for the Chronicle of the Ash Sea Isles has returned once again to grace the lands of Atamara with the true story of the island. Printed in Ash'rily, its offices have been revamped, re-opened and now we shall begin to again bring you the news of the continent as and when we hear of it! - Wolfram |
