Perdan's Military Geniouses Comments of the Farce-War

(02-02-07)

Today we received a series of very interesting reports that indicate the situation in Perdan. And first of all the skills of ][osferatu, the General that lost a war and now tries to improve his profile by combating the weakest possible opponent. Not alone of course as a defeat would cost his remaining dignity and the already limited trust to his person. So Itornut is expected before the big step: The Landing on the Northern Island.

Here are some words of wisdom spoken by him:

"Letter from ][osferatu (2007-01-06 18:48:49) It won't be the same in Chaos Temple Modi. We have to make this work. If we don't learn to operate as a team we stand no chance against Chaos Temple's walls, especially the fast travelling cavalry units. If they arrive early there, all they will be able to do is bleed on their walls. It will take too long for the blood to corrode the bricks even if such a thing is possible."

So, from what we see here, he is trying, like the superbly good general he is, to prepare his army for the attack. Almost a month ago. It seems that living in a realm with 2000 times the population of Kalmar Islands and 20 times its combat strength is not enough. That's why he awaits for some help from Itorunt and his new friends, Sirion and Fontan."

Then he received a message from his good friend Johnny:

" Letter from Johnny (2007-01-07 17:48:19) Alright.

We'll be leaving Kazakh in probably 4 turns. That will put us in Stora about 4 days from now, 5 the most. From there it's a one turn move to Kalmar, which we plan to make upon arriving.

Johnny High Marshal of Old Rancagua, Duke of Kazakh

If they get too much CS in CT, I might consider postponing the attack and sent the Runts back to refit while we return at a slower pace to Perdan, looting on the way."

Although this message as sent almost a month ago, OR, Sirion and Fontan didn't manage to take over Kalmar City, although there is only 1 peasant left their! What great friends ][osferatu has! Perdan must be proud! Attacking with 5 realms and organizing a joint attack? Are they so incapable of achieving a victory by themselves? It seems so. Because later on they say that:

"Letter from ][osferatu (2007-01-09 10:49:55) Anything that results with Fontan dead is an idea worth trying..."

So ][osferatu the Great. Please tell us. Are you working with Fontan or against it? Because your Knights will be confused now.

"Letter from ][osferatu (2007-01-09 20:12:24) There's a right time for everything Modi. If the TO succeeds, mor emight follow. Every region we strip from KI is a serious blow to their economy and most of all, recruiting options.

And I never said we won't be attacking... ;-)"

Look! Look what great conclusions ][osferatu has reached! He is a genious indeed! Perdan indeed crippled the economy of Kalmar. The taxes have been reduced by 2 gold per week to 0 gold per week! A difference still less that what the average Perdanite pays to maintain his unit for a day!

"Orders from ][osferatu (2007-01-25 23:18:06) Make sure you have refitted in 4-5 days maximum. As soon as Itorunt comes up here we're going straight for CT."

He now waits for Itorunt as well. Perdan alone is not able even to defeat the weakest realm in the continent!

Perdan's Tricky Methods on the Run Again

(02-02-07)

And finally some more words of wisdom by Nightmare and Evangeline:

"Letter from Nightmare (2007-01-09 22:33:40) After hearing most of you about Lycastus & LoF, speaking to a few people that know things in Fontan, LoF and other realms I did not, and after talking to the Queen extensively I have reached the following conclusions regarding the issue (other facts, other just hypothetical):

1. Most probably Lycastus and Gregor do not want to go to war, but prefer to stay allied and war us or another realm. Fontan Nobles though do not like LoF. They do not have a reason to like them when they see the City of Fontan being held by LoF.

2. Lycastus must either have information on that, or he justs bull+++ing with us. I think that there are indeed people in Fontan that want to pursue a war against LoF to get their lands back now, and not in the future if they achieve the total destruction of Perdan. I think that they know that this would happen in a fictional world and not in the nowadays East Continent (some months ago that might be achievable if lots of time and gold was invested against us, but now things are changing; Realms that would happily attack Perdan do not seem to want that anymore -Yssaria, Ibladesh, Itorunt, Sirion etc)

3. Now let's see if a war between LoF and Fontan broke though what would happen; what would other realms do?

Caligus: Probably side Fontan, as it would be a very good excuse to get some regions from LoF, including Akesh Temple. They currently have very good relations with Fontan, and very bad with LoF. Yssaria:Most probably would side Fontan. They have very good relations with Fontan, they could get some land (1-2 regions), and they seem to have good relations with caligus now also, so they would be on the same side at that war. Itorunt:Neutral Ibladesh:Neutral, or side with Fontan since the owe them a part of their survival when Fontan attacked us and did not let us destroy Ibladesh. Sirion:Neutral or side Fontan (Handow needs a war to keep his Nobles happy aslo)

4. From the above I can conclude that such a war (Fontan Vs LoF) would be beneficial to Perdan, if we stayed neutral and if Caligus helped Fontan. If Caligus gets some regions (Akesh including), they might leave our lands and we can have our regions back. I am negative to helping LoF under the current circumstances and realms relations, but Lycastus must be kept under the impression that we might help them, so that he goes to war and not just surrender to Fontan. We want a war that will cost Fontan gold and troops, and we want LoF loosing as many regions to Caligus.

This is my realistic impression of the issue. I would prefer that everyone will side Lycastus and destroy Fontan, but this won't happen in the near future.

Sir Nightmare Duke of Perdan

Letter from Evangeline (2007-01-09 22:58:03) Nightmare has said it very well, although its not words I'd like to hear. I have been continuing discussions with Lycastus, he seems genuine.

I don't know if Ibladesh or Yssaria is as bound to Fontan as some may think. But either way, it is probably better to play it safe."

So, as we see here, Perdan uses its usual trickery and exploitation of other realms, used as pawns, to allow "proud" Perdan to achieve its own objectives, sacrificing others. It is sad.

(Unfortunately, although we received some more details on this plans, we are obliged to our source, not to reveal the most critical information)

What is this? Wasn't it only few days ago that Perdan's Council was expressing its desire to see Fontan destroyed?

Letter from Gregor

Greetings Perdanese, I am here to speak with your Queen. Mightn't you know where she is?

Few Words Spoken by the Honorable Perdanites

(02-02-07)

You can extract your own conclusions about the nature of the farce-war:

Letter from Magnus

Can we go ahead and Loot these fools now? I mean I dont think there views towards us can get much worse, well 1% worse I guess. HARHARHAR! Besides, we've killed off over half there population, and they are still holding out! This has to end, because I'm going to have to go back and refit in a day or so. Just say the word, and we'll bring this region down around there ears!

Letter from Kerwyn

Total population of Avamar Selective: 30! Hahaha

Is it funny that the Unholly Alliance that you are part of killed all the peasants of the only realm that could help your enemies while you bring Itorunt undisturbed? Very brave of you Perdanites. Very brave and honorable

Letter from Kerwyn

The most worthless region on the continent (Wasteland) has the most population of all the regions of the Islands... Wait, now I should... laugh! Muhahahahaa!

Another funny fact? Well done. What can we say? We thought for a while that you wanted to liberate and not obliterate the Islands

Letter from Magnus

Well, no gold to get from looting, but we can still BURN AND PILLAGE!

Ok, we know that you are a barbarian Magnus. Can you cut it off? Please?

Letter from Magnus

I'VE HAD ENOUGH!

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SHOW THESE INBREEDING ROCK HUMPERS WE MEAN BUISNESS?!! How many more of our people must be tortured while I am forced to sit like a milkmaid on her stool and listen to the taunts and laughter from Chaos Temple?! Depopulate this entire region and reduce these hovels to ash! Then I will return to Perdan City and refit. I plan on getting a BIG RAM and bringing it back to shove up thier Judges' ARSE!

While Sinebrychoff knew that torture was a possibility in his profession, it is without honor for them to have done it! The least they could have done was allow him a sword so he could have died a clean death like a warrior. The pigs tortured him and then smashed his sword hand for good measure.

I SAY WE ROAST THEM LIKE THE PIGS THEY ARE AND USE THE TIMBERS OF THIER PRECIOUS TEMPLE FOR KINDLING!

I see. No hope for you

Letter from Genghis

The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.

Letter from Mikolas

I beg, turn the hounds loose my Queen!

I will raze their houses to the ground. I will pull down the stacked walls of their pitiful defenses. I will scatter their starved bodies to the wind so that we might have room to properly pay respects to our fallen. And then afterwards I shall sit by the fire, raise a cup of mead to our fallen and then be lulled to sleep by the sweet sound of their lamentations for the deeds they have done this day!

Letter from shallow

Indeed those words were spoken by great warriors my friend but I ask you this, Dont they represent inhumanity don't they try to justify wrong actions by words a wrong is a wrong no matter how you justify it in the end there are few exceptions and this is far from one of them., it is not how I picture perdans army..A vile mob stealing wealth..I see her as a collective wealth of good men here in this world among a group of barbarians I think we stand for all that is honorable, and you may say that looting would make it easier but in doing so we commit crimes against humanity and against innocent people you wish to take the easy way I wish to save innocents from dieing and mobs forming to revenge those murdered only to be slaughtered themselves. Do not start down that path for it would mean throwing perdans morals aside for nothing more than an easy time of taking over a place, of which wont be ours anyway, we should take our time let them see our veiw on things and maybe the church can help with that also, I know not.

This poor guy spoke with some reason, but he was taunted. The funniest of all is that Perdan's official church is the Church of...Humanity!

Food Problems for Perdan.

(02-02-07)
Perdan is engaged to annexing wars while its people are starving. It only remains to see how it will manage to feed the Islands after the destruction it has caused. But wait a moment. Is Fontan helping Perdan? Is the Unholly Alliance so Unholly after all?

Report from Zoie

You sell 500 units of Food to the warehouse for a total of 160 gold. The locals rejoice as they hear of the good news, some of them had been starving already.

I will now return to Westmoor to get more food for the realm.

Brutality measures revealed

(07-02-07)

Reports of outstanding cruelty have reached the Kalmarian Chronicles. More specifically, Magnus, Knight of Bescanon stated few days ago that

Letter from Magnus (2007-01-27 15:18:33) Can we go ahead and Loot these fools now? I mean I dont think there views towards us can get much worse, well 1% worse I guess. HARHARHAR! Besides, we've killed off over half there population, and they are still holding out! This has to end, because I'm going to have to go back and refit in a day or so. Just say the word, and we'll bring this region down around there ears!

There is also a KI guys, Geoff, here without a unit. Don't know for sure, but could he be having an effect on our TO?

LONGING TO LOOT, PRIMED TO PILLAGE!

Magnus (Knight of Bescanon)

But ever more disturbing are the news concerning the treatement of the conquered remaining villagers of the Islands. Clarissa, last Queen of Perdan makes jokes about the slaughtered peasants and the destruction Perdan has brought, together with an incredible mismanagement of the newly conquered regions.

Report from Clarissa (2007-02-01 06:38:55) Lundel's population is booming!!

It has jumped from 2 to 8!

Oh, I did police work and it is back to core from main.

Clarissa (Royal)

Finally, the secret agents of Perdan that were preparing a rebellion but revealed on time, has shown their true face betraying their former comrades. Vistuvis, one of Perdan's unsurpers revealed all plans of the defenders as soon as his treachery was discovered.

Letter from Vistuvis (2007-01-15 17:19:21) Those Kalmarians coming from Chaos temple are misdirectioning. They ordered it when i was in your prison. Your guards were easy to bribe. :)

Vistuvis (Noble)

A reign of Terror begins

(07-02-07)

Today Perdan managed to breach the walls of Chaos Temple and bring death to the defenders. But the price was extremely high as Perdan lost almost half of its mobile strength, while Itorunt's expeditionary force was anihilated. The Royal Treasurer of Itornut died also in combat.

Perdan will lost more men and resources in this conflicted only to get more regions to make fun with the peasants that will survive.

Perdan's military geniouses must be really happy for the outcome of the war that will cost to Perdan the leading military position as a realm.

Questions for the Future

(07-02-07)

As Perdan still starves (see report below), questions are risen on how Perdan will keep feeding its population. However, as it seems from the behaviour of the conquerors to the submited villagers of Kalmar Islands, their indifference will prevail. The Church of Humanity will celebrate another victory against human life

Report from Zoie (2007-02-05 18:19:25) You sell 390 units of Food to the warehouse for a total of 101 gold. The locals rejoice as they hear of the good news, some of them had been starving already.

I will keep my work on trade to ensure our people will not starve!!

Zoie (Dame of Perdan)

More Reports Reveal a Continental Conspiracy

(09-02-07)

After the interogation of Perdanite prisoners, a Continental Conspiracy was revealed. Perdan is plotting against virtually all realms of the Continent. Even the tiny realm of Ubent didn't avoid some badmouthing when Evangeline, Queen of Perdan tried to interfere to Ubent's foreign affairs with the following statement

"Letter from Evangeline (2007-01-23 05:24:43)
I've already told Doombringer that if Caligus decides to enter the alliance with Ubent, Perdan will not consider itself allied with them by proxy. If Caligus comes to Ubent's aid and is drawn into conflict, Perdan may choose to stay out indefinitely. I made it clear that Ubent backed out on our alliance and left us facing a big war on our own once before, we won't be setting ourselves up to have it happen again. He understands this.

Evangeline Queen of Perdan, Marshal of the Shadow Knights"

In short here is what they envisage for the future of East Continent:

"Ibladesh, Yssaria, Ubent vs Itorunt, Perdan, Caligus; thenFontan vs LoF; and then, heck why not, OR vs Sirion"

Shocking News!

(10-02-07)

Evangeline, Queen of Perdan revealed the plans Perdan and Old Rancagua have for the Islands. They care only for their utter destruction and not for the ressurection of their Colony:

"Letter from Evangeline (2007-01-23 04:26:39)
We won't handover the regions, if anything the new realm can do uncontested friendly TOs.

Most likely, once the two realms are destroyed in the islands. OR and Perdan will leave them, let them go rogue and leave them for some time (even a few months) to recover some of their populations and stats. Once things are looking reasonable again, we can go up and setup the new realm (again!).

Evangeline Queen of Perdan, Marshal of the Shadow Knights"

][osferatu Recomfirms

(11-02-07)

The Perdanese General reconfirmed the above information by stating that:

""Letter from ][osferatu (2 days, 10 hours ago)
Message sent to everyone in the region Chaos Temple (58 recipients)
You know what? I try to keep silent but as I already told you I hate blabbering and I have to say I've seen enough during my stay here. You can try to keep it going but I can also try to end it.

And if someone really wants to know, here's a "simplistic" as you say explanation of what is going on here: We're here to kill you! Not the peasants really, but your governement (and well, some of you too). If the peasants decide to go down too then so be it. We would hang your government's loyalists anyway when our TO ends so the sooner the better. You can try to stop us as you already have but we will persist.

This is the general idea and what should really be troubling you. Stop picking on minor details that will get you nowhere and focus on your problem. Can you do somthing about it? Go ahead and do it. Can't you? Start thinking of finding a new home.

I hope I've cleared things up for everyone. Now I'll return to my silence if you excuse me. There's nothing more I'd like to talk to you about.

][osferatu"

Murders and Rapings is an everyday's practice in Chaos Temple

(13-02-07)

The cruelty Perdan has shown to the peasants of Chaos Temple is unbelievable. Constant marauding, killing, burning and raping rules the total chaos that the Perdanite invading force brought to the Islands. It is indeed a commented liberating effort, as soon, the Islands will be free from any kind of life.
