Xerus Returns to Old Grehk!

30-10-2005 (OGG)

Under the command of Xeth'ranis Old Grehk forces have liberated Xerus, a townsland just south of Vozzessdor. The civil officials returned to Xerus and resume control to the once Old Grehk region. This addition to the Kingdom is celebrated everywhere in Old Grehk. Xerus citizens welcomed the Old Grehk army and were seen waving banners with joy. Locals have organised parties and carnavals however some of the troops already left the town bound to the East. Details are still classified but we interviewed a soldier of one unit. Soldier someone: We received orders to liberate Verdomite, our former border town. Actually it was my home town. I lost contact with my family there and I hope they are still okay. I really want to return and find them!".


Monsters Rounded Up in Xerus

28-10-2005 Xerus (OGG)

Old Grehk Imperial Army continues to advance South! After victories in Junohep and Ircymbar. Troops from Junohep, Vozzessdor and Ircymbar merged together in Xerus, a townsland lost during the invasion. Together they met a monster troop with similar strength of our human troops. Again Old Grehk troops formed tight formations and advanced at the same pace. The monsters as defenders stayed in the town and dug in. Old Grehk troops marched into monster ranks and brokethough their lines. Monsters were then surrounded and rounded up, executed one by one. This battle marks the finest hour of our Southern Expedition. Rumours said the government has sent civil officials in order to re-estabilish government facilities.

Assist our Allies - Victory in Ircymbar

28-10-2005 Vozzessdor Army Command (OGG) Old Grehk forces has been granted passage to assist Ashborns far eastern province of Ircymbar. This time the battle was more even. Undeads and monster from nearby regions have gathered and await the human warriors. 87 Old Grehk soldiers advanced into ranks 49 Undeads and 22 monsters. This battle was much bloodier than the day before in Junohep. Many soldiers were wounded or killed. However it was neccessary to protect nearby regions in this golden opportunity where most subhuman enemies are concentrated in one region. It was quite a mess in the frontlines and our report is based on limited sources only.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has published a statement of appreciation received from Ashborn:

  Thank you very much for you assistance in Ircymbar. It is nice to know that allies can count on each other in time of need.
                                                                                                                                                                               Sir Bocephus
                                                                                                                           Minister of Defense of Ashborn, Count of Djembe

Battle Report, OG Victorious!

27-10-2005 Junohep and Ossmat (OGG)

Junohep
Monsters were sighted pillaging the rural town of Junohep. Luckily before they start of feast on local inhabitants the Old Grehk Imperial Army arrived at the nick of time! 168 Old Grehk soldiers reached the town centre before the monsters arrived. The battle lasted 4 hours and all the monster threat were neutralised. Here is a comment from High Marshal Xeth'ranis 'The 24 monsters we fought may be strong in individual strength, but they cannot match the numbers and teamwork of our Old Grehk soldiers. It is indeed very lucky our soldiers have to conduct operations in the Far South so we are availlible near Junohep. More details will come once our mission reached its objectives. Thank you.'.

Luhgrethen
On the far North our troops are returning from the newly created colony. They encountered monsters along the way and slaughtered them for good. However details were not clear as we do not have correspondents near the scene. The only confirmed detail is Old Grehk forces secured the region. This victory also helped to protect the southern borders of the colony. The Provisional Colonial Ruler Lemon Tree has expressed appreiciation to the soldiers fought there. It is rumoured the Colonial Government will add a new region in order to supply badly needed food.


His Majesty Vagabond, the King of Old Grehk's address to World Leaders

27-10-2005 Ossmat Palace (OGG)

Leaders of the world,

I am happy to share with you over preparation and set up of the Old Grehk Colony.

Agyr was the realm situated in the northern turdra area, sadly, they fell during the Second Undeads/Monsters Invasion.

After the fall of Agyr, many of those nobles joined either Melhed or OG, because both realms were allied to Agyr that time.

When it's near the end of the invasion, nobles of OG start to consider the ideas of setting up a colony in the north, make sure the northern tundra area is inhabited by humen, not skeletons, zombies or ice ogres.

It then comes to my knowledge that the last Queen of OG, Melian, has discussed with Riombara about setting up a joint colony before. So naturally we go with that plan. As the weather of the north is harsh, some OG nobles suggested to enquire if ex-Agyr nobles (famous for resistance to cold weather)in Melhed will be interested in joining the colony, so I approached Melhed on that.

I then knew of the plan that Melhed also intend to create colonies in the north, in fact, the plan they have was to create 2 colonies. Since we don't think there is enough room for 3 colonists be set up in the north in total, we began discussion on details of colony set up.

It is finally decided that Melhed and OG (with substantial help from Riombara), each realm will create one colony in the north respectively. Regions ownership was also discussed and agreed.

OG colony will ultimately consist of Nuzanki, Sandefur, Coness, Luhgrethen, Bessimir, Pellan, Doatna and Oepiud, a total of 8 regions. They will also be in control of Affkat and Mouzl until Sandefur city is restored to full population, and after that the 2 regions will be returned to Melhed colony. This is because Unger city (under Melhed colony) has good population (over 10K that time), while Nuzanki and Sandefur city are mostly deserted with less than 100 inhabitants.

In short, the set up of OG colony gained the understanding of its immediate neighbour, and will not be a threat to any of them.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Vagabond King and Royal Treasurer of Old Grehk

Our New Neighbour on the North: OG and Rio Cooperated Realm founded!

26-10-2005, Ossmat (OGG)

After monthes of battling monsters and undeads the military forces of Old Grehk and the Multinational Colonial Expedition (Including OG and Riombara troops) have cleansed much of the land. Most of the hostile fouls are decimated and the Colonist agreed it is safe to set up a colonial government in the city of Nuzanki. There are only 69 inhabitants survived from dark age of Undead Invasion.

Lemon Tree, the leader of the Colonial force, was elected by the pioneer colonists as the provisional ruler of the Colonial Government.

The setting up of the Colony is accordance to the Treaty over Melhed Colony and OG Colony in the North. Both Melhed and Old Grehk will re-establish human control to the area and eliminate all undead threats in time.

The Old Grehk Government do not regard the Colony as a puppet realm. Instead will be an independent sovereign realm, enjoys full autonomy on military, diplomacy and internal affairs. The Colonial Government is only a provisional form of Government. Fair elections will be organised to choose the leader chosen by the majority of the colonists. However the conditions in the Colony is still very harsh, tax is extremely low and undeads still constantly threatening the lone human owned city in the North. Therefore it is anticipated elections will be carried out when basic realm infrastructure have been set up.

The colony is not only founded by Old Grehk leaders, but also lords from Riombara and also from the former Ar Agyr. This shows the deep friendship among the lords from the three realms. The aim of setting up a realm in the Northern tundras is to pacify the rogue states and eradicate all undead breeding grounds which may attack human settlements of the northern realms. In addition some lords from Ar Agyr wishes to return to their long missed homeland, which were occuiped by Undeads and Monsters during the Undead Invasion.

Old Grehk has provided military, financial and food support for the successful founding of the new realm and wishes the our new neighbour the every success in the future.
