2005-02-07 A rebellion started in Southasland late in the day. The rebel leader Panthesilia raised a protest against the tyranic goverment of Southasland. The attempt to overthrow the dictator was not succesfull at first and the ruler called their claims unrightious and unnecessary. He also said they would have been heard if they had spoken their protest insted of initiating a fullscale rebellion. The rebellion was not a protest against the leaders of the realm but a idealistic attempt change the type of goverment. Despite this noble course the loyalist recived massive support from many nobles and the palace guards in Tucha and soon the rebellion was suppressed and the rebels was banned on the evening of the 9th. Amoung them the long faithfull veteran Wallace. The last of the nobles that have seen almost all the history of Southasland.
2005-02-08 In the evening guards in Tucha captured Anton, an known infiltrator working for Minas Ithil while he was sneaking around the camp of Vos Estis, the Executor of Southasland, Baron of Cori conspiciously, with a poisoned dagger under his cloak. This dishonourable action was likely a result of a recent alliance between Southasland and Tara and the belived Southasland invovlement in the war on Falasan.
2005-02-09 The rebellion was suppressed in the early evening and the rebels banned.
2005-02-10 Early in the morning a rumour spang to life in Tucha that the dictator was missing. Noone could find him and noone had seen him since the night before. Soon the rumour reached all of Southasland and signes of panic started to show. With the expected invasion from the north, coursed by the politics of the missing dictator and his council, it was important to find his replacement fast.
In the fine cold evening the nobles of Southasland elected Edvard the Deacon as new dictator, with 54 % of the valid votes. The election was as follows:

Later in the day the new dictator informed the realm things was going wurse with Ash Sea Islands as they made claimes on Mapo. With the threatening invasion from the north many Southaslanders was afraid for their fields and home, though the nobility of Southasland has sworn they will fend of the enemy.
2005-02-13 This day was not one of silence before the storm as the first scouts and infiltrators started to show up in Southasland. First lexxwern of Falasan, a known satoteur, was seen sabotaging several mills Picnu but unfortunately he succeeded in evaded the local militia. Later the Academy of Tucha had it's sleeping quarters burned down. The dean was convinced ithe fire was started by someone in broom cupboard next to the kitchen. Finally 7 guards was killed while sleeping in the peacefully in their hutment in Cori. On the way out the assassin, Raziel2 Count of Dunstroke, Minas Ithil, triped over the guard dog, was spotted but managed to get away. Also Edvard the Deacon, Dictator of Southasland was mysterius wonded. Rumours talk of a spy from Minas Ithil.
The good news on this day was of a peace treaty between Carelia and Southasland.
2005-02-15 The murderer of 7 guards in Cori was caught by guards in Tucha. Raziel2 was sneaking around the camp of Sir Fred, the General of Southasland conspiciously, with a poisoned dagger under his cloak. He was draged through the streets of Tucha under heavy bombardment by the locals while the guards tried to keep him alive long enough fore the questioning in the prison.
Late in the day the expected invasion from the north began as troops from Minas Ithil supprised the militia in Picnu during dinner and Barony of Makar tried to break through in Cori. The Southaslanders fought bravely and fended of the enemy and killed the Duke of Sale, Sir Duck!!!

In Picnu, though, the Norlanders and Minas Ithils plundered and raged the contryside. As a result the Dictator,Edvard the Deacon, declared war on Minas Ithil and Norland
2005-02-17 The Dictator, Edvard the Deacon just managed to declare war on Falasan before was victim to an assassination attempt which left him seriously wounded. Even though an investigation was launched immediately, it appears that the assassin had vanished without a trace and Southasland was once again without a ruler.
After the releas from prison the infiltrator, Raziel2 had the following comment about he visit: "Bludgeoned? Was that what they were doing? I thought they were trying to tickled the information out of me. By the way I had a great time sticking that dagger into you Edvard... I should come do it again when your a rogue after your corrupt regime is overthrown. Also when your guard dog is a newborn chihuaha its very easy to not see it. I hope you liked my poem... Do not sleep soundly rebel scum I will be back"

The Southaslanders did not manage to rid Picnu of the invaders. But their brave attack did prevent the enemy gaining control of the region. The mission came at a high price, though, as many men was killed or wounded and the troops of Southasland retreated to Tucha to reorganise.
Even though the guards of Picnu caught Acelan, a known infiltrator and former Southaslander working for Falasan, while he was sneaking around the camp of Teram II, the Banker of Southasland during the day. In the evening someone managed to get at the Banker and seriously wound him.
