Large Battles All Around
Date: March 9, 1009

Many battles were being fought all across the East Continent, but within just the past week a good amount of larger scale battles could be heard about and seen. Most of these battles came from the north, including troops from Fontan, Sirion, Old Rancagua, Sultanate of Asena, and perhaps to some surprise, Westmoor. While in the south the majority of attention came out of Isadril, as Perdan and Itorunt attacked the walls under Tuchanon V's command. These wars continue to pour hundred, if not thousands, of dead into the streets, hillsides, and much more. What will be next? How will this shape out the future of the East Continent? Only time will tell....

News Rulers
March 10, 1009

With new rulers in position in Westmoor, Sirion, and Ibladesh, it leaves people to wonder if perhaps a change in policy and even some peace might be in store for some of the lands. Though Westmoor is not currently at war with anyone, there have been quite some rumors showing their military involvement against another realm. Ibladesh could use some fresh air, and perhaps some time away from all the fighting. Then of course Sirion could as well.

A Quick Recap
March 10, 1009

Quite a lot has happened over the past. First it started out with the wars that lead to Obsidian Islands' existance. Old Rancagua and Perdan went to war with Kalmar Islands, and later Avamar Selective. Old Rancagua took the Kalmar Island, while Perdan took Chaos Temple Island and Bastad Island. Once in better condition, Kalmar seceded to form OI, and shortly after the Chaos Temple duchy joined along. Next on the list of events, the great wars start back up. With Itorunt breaking out of the federation, causing war with Ibladesh and Yssaria. Following this, Perdan declared war on Yssaria and Ibladesh. Fontan broke their federation with Sirion and Old Rancagua, causing war there as well. Tuchanon V was founded in Isadril through secession from Yssaria. Light of Fountain also joined in against Fontan. Tuchanon V declared war on Itorunt. Obsidian Islands also joined in and warred Fontan. Light of Fountain got destroyed by Fontan, and Yssaria falls to Caligus. Perdan warred and destroys Ubent. The Confederacy of Fontan was formed by secession and war with Fontan follows. Perdan and Caligus also join in the war against Fontan. Kazakh seceded from Fontan, forming the Sultanate of Asena, who declared war on Obsidian Islands. White City of Westmoor seceded from Perdan, forming Westmoor, which Fontan declared war upon. Fontan destroyed the Confederacy of Fontan. Peace was found between the forces of Westmoor, Perdan, Caligus, and Fontan. Obsidian Islands reach peace with the Sultanate of Asena. Perdan goes to war against Tuchanon V. I believe that is about it, if I missed anything...well I just hope I didn't since there is already so much here.

Gerard's Betrayal
March 16, 1009

After attacking a noble priest in his region, losing the attack and being seriously wounded and then being asked to step down from his position as he refused to follow orders and continued to break laws...well needless to say it seems "Lord" Gerard felt it would be ok to just bring our region over to Duchy of Perdan, which is of course, part of Perdan. No news of how things are going to go from here.

The End of Old Rancagua?
March 16, 1009

Suffering major losses recently and the region of Pucallpa it would seem nothing more can be done to stop the death of Old Rancagua. It leaves some to wonder where the nobles will go as well. Will they join the Sultanate of Asena? Perhaps fight on with Sirion? There are several other options open to them of course, it's just a question of what they want and where they want to do it from. The Obsidian Islands wish them the best, even though they certainly aren't saying the same for us.

A New War
March 18th, 1009

Something that may, or may not come to a surprise for many people is the new war between Westmoor and Sirion. Many can most likely remember that it wasn't long ago that Westmoor and Sirion where both fighting against Fontan. Now it seems things have changed, drastically, as Westmoor now marches with Fontan against Sirion. Fontan has survived quite the wars, first there was the wars against Old Rancagua, Light of Fountain, Sirion, and Obsidian Islands. After not only surviving that war but winning (with the destruction of LoF, creation of SoA from Kazakh, and Avamar from Sirion). Then next was the succession of city of Fontan, creating the new realm of the Confederacy of Fontan. Perdan joins the war, along with Caligus. Perdan creates the realm of Westmoor from the city of Westmoor. Caligus also takes some land while the Confederacy of Fontan was destroyed. Now Fontan fights against Sirion and Old Rancagua but not alone like before. No instead Fontan has the Sultanate of Asena and Westmoor on their side.

Peace Reaches South
March 19th, 1009

Finally some peace is coming back to the continent. Even if it comes in small, slow doses it is still better then nothing. Earlier today King Doombringer announced that a new peace has come between Ibladesh and Caligus. Both realms have signed the new treaty and peace is expected to come soon. The Obsidian Islands wish both realms the best of luck.

Drama Unfolds in the South!
March 19th, 1009

At last, peace has reached at least one flank of the Ibladeshian territory. After almost a week of intense and thrilling diplomatical negotiations, Caligus and Ibladesh have dropped their hostilities and signed an official peace treaty. For those unaware of the situation in the blood covered South, the war between Ibladesh and Itorunt lasts almost 1 full year now, after the ex-King Lucian of Itorunt proclaimed that he wants to see Ibladesh deprived of their lands, and officially declared war on Ibladesh. Overconfident in their success and superiority the 'runts have marched to the Ibladeshi land burning every Temple of the Church Of Ibladesh on their way, accompanied by raping and killing of the population of those regions. However, the 'runts have suffered several heavy defeats, and Ibladeshi defenders turned the tides of war and started to penetrate deep into their enemies lands. After that, Caligus, the ally of Itorunt, entered the war to shift the tides once again. Outnumbered, food controled and overrun with infiltrators, the Ibladeshians stood little chance and lasted surprisingly long. However, with the penetration in both Zawr and Oc Lu Pesh the Ibladeshi have realized the small chances they have in this war, and have agreed upon a peace treaty with both realms.

After the royal seals of both Ibladesh and Caligus have been stamped on the treaty, Itorunt disagreed with small trivialities. Due to the absolute pettynes and unparalelled greed, Itoruntian government refused to sign the peace treaty, although their gains of the treaty were extremely abnormal and very undeserved in the first place. This course of action influenced the King of Caligus to pull out his nation from the war completely, irregardless of the Itoruntese's wishes. The writter of this letter salutes the King of Caligus for the act of honour, fairness and dignity which gives him hope that this continent hasn't yet said goodbye to honour and chivalry.

And so, after a year of a bloody war in the South, Ibladesh and Itorunt stand face againts face in battle, like it should be from the begining. During the last year Itorunt has always avoided to fight Ibladesh 1 on 1, although Itorunt has more regions, more nobility, more food, larger income and a larger army. That represents the undeniable fact that makes their fear to face Ibladesh on their own turn into a complete and pathetic cowardice.

However it turns out, it seems that the war torn South won't see permanent peace anytime soon.
