May 10, 2007 - Major Changes in Khthon
Major changes have happened in Khthon over the last few weeks. The sucessor of sir Geoff, sir Elias, did not take long to fall victim to a mysterious and crippling disease. For a certain ammount of time, nobles of Khthon prayed for his recovery, so that he may lead us to glory, however that did not seem to come any time soon. Soon after, our marshal, after doing a mistake, retired from active duty, without any public statement. It is at that time that the savage southern armies returned, this time sponsored by a foreign power. Having been crippled but days before, it came rumbling, larger than ever, and the citizens of Dyomoque demanded protection, remembering the cruel events of the past that had pulled them into a zealous thirst for revenge. The nobles of Khthon rallied there, were they set up elections to find new leaders. Sir Trithereon, baron of Gaxano, was chosen as our new chancelor, while count Batman of Weghie became our new general. Count Mirari of Tindle became the new sponsor of the army, and then the marshal. Gaxano now lies without a lord, but once again our nobles are being re-assembled and our heroes shall march to glory once again. Powerful neighbours can try to interfere all they want, but nothing can quell our spirits, and we shall fight with integrity and honour!

May 14, 2007 - Inspiring victory in Reeds
So little time has passed since the savages from the south passed by unguarded routes into Dyomoque, and yet, after the zealous retribution on Zuhle, they have not learnt their lesson. Plergothian and meshian troops united in an attack against our ally's capital this time, Reeds, but little did they know capturing a city was not such an easy task when it is actually occupied. Plergoth is expeted to come limping to Creasur soon, but first they must deal with Khthon's army.

May 16, 2007 - Wall of swords
Plergoth and Mesh have been crushed at the walls of Reeds, our chancelor having the honour of participating in the battle. Now, with their troops forced to limp back to Creasur, and no visible aid from the east, they face a wall: Khthonian soldiers waiting for them. Plergoth has prided itself in fighting ill-equiped farmers, we owe them a battle, and we intend on giving it to them.

May 19, 2007 - Where are the Plergothians?
Plergoth seems to have avoided that battle we owed them so far. Instead of doing on swift battle, the savages seem to have come in little waves, trying their best to evade their forces and find some spaces between our swords. With the cover of their troops, some nobles seem to have passed, but their soldiers were shot dead by our elite archers, of course.

May 30, 2007 - Battle of Xinjin
Today Khthon fought an immense battle in the region of Xinjin. Though outnumbered and with little chance of victory our army readied itself for a fight. The battle saw huge casualties on both sides. Though we lost this battle we managed to inflict huge damage on Plergoth's army so as to delay there next attack against out allies.
