| The Fall of Moses McGahee, Hero | |
| February 29th, 2008
The hero Sir Moses McGahee, Royal Treasurer of Ash Sea Islands, Duke of Wor'ight was killed in battle yesterday on Wynford. He fell in a hopeless battle against impossible odds. The enemy overrunning his palisade and wiping out his army along with him. It is sad that we are forced to do what is needed for the greater good of all. Moses will be missed.

| Battle of Aja and attempt at Liberation | |
| February 29th, 2008
Two days ago, the combined armies of Tara, Darka, Talerium, Carelia and Eston besieged the ASI Stronghold of Aja. Defending the critical region were the recently arrived reinforcements from Falasan, roughly half their Army. With 1284 Inf, 55 MI, 355 Arch, 323 Cav, 75 SF attacking 646 Inf, 362 Arch, 100 Cav behind level 5 walls, the outcome was still in doubt on the eve of battle. Large portions of the liberating armies fell victim to the Infiltrators stationed in the region. 4 Nobles were assassinated and many more were delayed thru sabotage. Regardless, enough troops arrived to give the advantage to our forces. Minimal losses were incurred during the battle. Numerous casualties inflicted upon Falasan. A Hostile Takeover was initiated just as this paper was being printed. Written by Jose Dela Cruz |
| Battle of Rogeshore | |
| February 25th, 2008
On the eve of Dictator Lister's Declaration of War, a small detachment of Taran Troops invaded the ASI region of Rogeshore. Not wishing to overwhelm the 5,000 CS ASI force, Tara sought honorable battle with equal forces. However, even that was too much and ASI fled from us. Three ASI units were too slow and were destroyed. Written by Jose Dela Cruz |
| WAR with Ash Sea Islands! | |
| February 25th, 2008
In an effort to support the just cause of the tiny breakaway realms of Suville and Caergoth, the realm of Tara has just declared the existence of war between ourselves and ASI. Armies from Carelia, Talerium and Eston have recognized our just purpose and have joined us. We have also hired the feared mercenaries from Darka to aid our war. Many may wondered why so many realms would take this action. The reason, as I perceive it, is religion. The ASI religion of Magna Serpentism has been aggressive in its pursuit of converts. Priests from ASI, Falasan and the Principality of Magnus have ranged far and wide without respect of territorial rights or the wishes of the people involved. Now they pay the price for their hubris. May the Gods grant us their favor... Written by Jose Dela Cruz |
| Tarasac Returned!!! | |
| February 24th, 2008
Joy fills the streets of Foda today as news of the handover of Tarasac reached the city. The small ceremony occurred in the presence of Lister, Dictator of Tara and Vengeance, Prime Minister of the Cagilan Empire. Select witnesses were there to officiate the event among them Ottar, the soon-to-be new Duke of Tarasac. This fulfills the promise the Cagilan Empire gave so long ago. They have returned our home to us. Long live Tara!!! Written by Jose Dela Cruz |
