Itorunt Informer/September '09

Itorunt Informer seeks to chastise the inadequacies of our enemies and proclaim the glory of the Itorunt Empire, the Royalty, the Dukes, and the Triumvirate!	"Itorunt: Keeping the Ibladeshees from offending pigs that way since the dawn of man." - Darnadol Marauder (Dame of Priotness)

Commentary    September 11, 2009    Caligan Courier Furthers Propaganda In response to our response to their first propaganda, the Caligan Courier insists on further maligning the truth of the matter. In their first point, they write "Itorunt closed borders to our nobles yes but Ambassador Zoe was in contact and agreed to meet Regina Morgana to discuss foreign policy. Obviously the whole thing was just a scam so they could claim trespassing against Caligus. This is very low tactics belittling on any nation." What actually happened was that this ambassador ignored another ambassador when asked to discuss diplomatic issues. Instead, she was later reported to be insulting the minor nobility of Semall and was asked to leave. After this, she worked with Pontifex Sinted to betray a diplomatic meeting between Ibladesh and Itorunt. In their second point, the Caligan Courier furthers their deliberate lies. "As far as I am concerned Caligus has not betrayed anyone. The reasons Caligus dropped the alliance with Itorunt were numerous ones. The main thing being a very favorable treaty was drafted in favor of Itorunt but Itorunt wanted more and wanted Caligus to do all the fighting for them. Time proved how incompetant Itorunt was military wise and they were only alive because of Caligus valiant army who saved them from almost definate destruction. It is funny after so much damage was done to Ibladesh Itorunt are yet again on their back heals struggling to survive yet again." I only need to point to the article about Caligan Lies written three days ago to rebut the point. In a third point, "Unless you dont read. Peace was signed between Caligus and Ibladesh with the requirement that Caligus feed Ibladesh. They turned to close friends of ours and we do want to help them prosper. It is what any good ally would do. As far as this newspaper is concerned Itorunt was no longer a friend when they took it against Caligus who did so much for them." Just as the Confederacy of Fontan was not a friend once Caligan had expanded to the north? Finally, "How does the Itorunt Informer fail to mention how Perdan and Itorunt made an agreement behind the back of Caligus. It was agreed with previous Queen Alexandra that Isadril if it fell would go in the hands on Caligus. Obviously Itorunt didnt like this and conspired with Perdan to get it for themselves. This can be proven by Cartor Curs who met with Perdanese on a diplomatic mission months ago and Perdan admitted this had happened and it was done on purpose. Caligus relations with Tuchanon V were never stressed or strained as they both held their words to each other and since Caligus felt it was backstabbed by Itorunt and Perdan they took the situation into their own hands." Blatant lies as Caligus found necessary to fabricate in order to take the city. A city that they've never gained honorably but by twice by betrayal. As an additional note, they claim that they will not respond to the truth of the Itorunt Informer. Is this because they feel they cannot rebut such an honorable, truthful account of events?    September 11, 2009    Addendum Regarding Caligan Lies In response to the war declaration of Perdan unto Caligus, King Doombringer dares to insult the Perdanese despite his own fault for the war. Letter from doombringer Menethil (27 minutes ago) Message sent to the Rulers of this world (8 recipients) Greetings Rulers, I am sad this day has come. I will honestly say that Caligus has done everything it could to avoid this war but we will fight to defend our homeland. Even with how relations have been deteriorating I am not going to say anything bad about Perdan they were there when Caligus needed them most and I am simply sad that the path has been taken to war with us. This basically meant the longest and closest friends in the continent are now at war with each other. I will see you on the field. doombringer Menethil King of Caligus If Caligan had done everything to end the war, they would not have framed Perdanese for the woundings of their nobility. This war is entirely Caligus' fault and they will be punished for their disregard to proper diplomacy in favor of backstabbing all those around them.    September 9, 2009    Caligus Is A Beacon of Lies to the World Recently, in addition to their past lies, they've tried to twist the truth further by endorsing King Doombringer's war declaration. Letter from doombringer Menethil (10 hours, 32 minutes ago) Greetings everyone, Recently as all of you already know Itorunt has made continuous aggression towards Caligus and have been directly insulting both Caligus and Ibladesh from their local newspaper and then from the words of Regina Morgana herself. Itorunt has falsely accused Caligus of various "crimes" and also showed disrespect to our ambassador Zoe and assaulted her in friendly territory, thereafter pushing the blame upon us. Itorunt has acted with hostility towards Caligus and repeatedly insulted Caligus, an action we have tried to tolerate for some time now. Such examples are "liar, corrupt and dishonorable". However, it is with regret that even though we have tried to stop the aggression through peaceful measures, it has not succeeded. As such, Caligus will curb Itorunt's aggression by force with immediate effect. Signed, doombringer Menethil King of Caligus The paper is and has never been a tool of Itorunt's government; what the paper prints is independent of foreign policy. The Itorunt Informer has a high policy of journalistic integrity in never working for a realm's foreign policy agenda. The crimes are far from false. Revising history to serve their dishonorable back-stabbing ways only proves Caligus' lack of honor. 1. We already have closed borders and diplomats should not be excepted to this. 2. A history of betrayal towards the soverign realms of the East Continent, including Itorunt, proving their innate dishonor. 3. Feeding Itorunt's enemies in times of war and allowing them to prosper when they would otherwise starve. 4. Welcoming insane Tuchanon IV nobility into their realm and letting them retain the duchy after much work by Itorunt and Perdan to destroy their realm(this when Itorunt and Perdan had a history of good relations with Caligus and is evidence of more betrayal). On the first matter, do they deny our status of closed borders? Do they honestly expect us to allow such dishonorable nobility, diplomat or not, past our borders? On the second matter, do they deny their backstabbing of the Confederacy of Fontan when they betrayed their war effort for a ceasefire with Fontan after they conquered Fontanese regions greedily and was ready to leave their allies' war? Do they deny turning on Sirion? Do they deny blaming Perdan for their problems when it was likely a local anarchist or an accident that resulted in one of their lords' wound? On the third matter, do they deny the fact they are allied to a realm with a food deficiency that isn't starving or that Caligus has a huge surplus of food? On the fourth matter, do they deny the fact that they took possession of Isadril after Perdan, who by all accounts saved Caligus from destruction in the Great War, had ravaged the lands surrounding it? They attempt so malign the truth by claiming Zoe was in a friendly region and was attacked. They ignore the fact that their ambassador was in a contested region, was meeting with the ruler of our enemy to betray us, and ordered her cavalry against our Regina's troops. This occurred while the two rulers were supposed to meet to discuss the reduction of looting tactics in a war grown out of control by Ibladesh's cruel actions of religious barbarism and tyranny. Caligus' peaceful attempts at ending must allude to the fact that they feed our enemy who would otherwise starve. Their peaceful solution must have been behind-the-scenes removal of Itorunt from East Continent. It sounds rather non-peaceful, though perhaps indirect. It only proves that Caligus' first actions are cowardice instead of declaring a war they were already waging.    September 9, 2009    Itorunt City More Productive Than Isadril As Fontan and Itorunt Celebrate Serious Wounding of a Killer! In a recent report from the Caligan Courier that was then attempted to be hidden, it has been confirmed that Itorunt City produces far more gold than Isadril. More evidence of Caligan incompetence. In addition to this, Cartor Curs was seriously wounded in the attack upon Xavax. This is both a grand day for Fontan and myself as Fontan once lost a noble to Cartor Curs' cruel blade. This noble was a good friend, with albeit different political inclinations, of mine.
