The Perils of Outer Tilog 19th March 1008

The region of Vir el Mari heights recently revolted agaisnt Alebad (at the prodding of some of our brave troops) and joined Outer Tilog. Obviously joining a realm composed of megalomaniacs wasn't the best decision to make but peasants can't be expected to know that. Realising their mistake as both Alebad and the authorities of Outer Tilog moved into the region and engaged in minor squabling about who should leave the peasnats began rioting against the torture, necromancy and other evils of Outer Tilog. So today the peasants grouped together and declared independence of all realms. Obviously this independence is a filthy habit which should be stopped before other peasants get ideas but with our enemies recently beaten in Windaria (see our special report by Devona Uceek) and Vir el Mari heights revolting, our enemies must surely be feeling under pressure from all sides.

A Welcome Lull 9th March 1008

Over the past few days things have quietened noticeably, an outsider could be fooled into thinking we were at peace. Nothing could be farther from the truth, however! This temporary, unofficial ceasefire is merely the lull before the storm. Both sides in the Long War against Alebad-Alowca are surely using this time to build up forces for a new campaign which wil surely come soon after the next harvest! With both sides fully prepared, defences set up, battle plans drawn and thousands of men eager for glory this could be the pivotal moment of the war! When our allied forces go forwards, with the weight of better numbers, equipment and resources how can our vile enemies hope to win?! Whilst I cannot disclose battle plans for fear the enemy might learn of them to early, I can assure our readers that the tactics are sound and only a miracle could stop us! So take heart! Soon the waiting will be over and the Battle for the Colonies will truly begin! All hail Oritolon! All hail Prime Minister Spearhead! And all hail the coming victory! Willhelm Valdemar


Monsters! 8th March 1008

Today monsters were spotted in the regions of Iglavik and Narrowdep. Though various troopleaders were immediately dispatched and should slay and drive off the monsters within a matter of days, this journalist cannot help but wonder when these creatures will cease to plague our lands.

Discontent in Alowca 1st March 1008

Yesterday two nobles fled from oppression in Alowca to our freedom loving republic. One was immediately imprisoned for past war crimes but the other, Sir Leon of Grentzen, formerly of Alowca, was welcomed with open arms into the brotherhood of Oritolon nobility. This is a sure sign of the discontent that must be building in Alowca at their consistent failure to achieve any success in the war. It will surely not be long before they are begging for mercy.
