+ | author = Alise Athins| | ||
+ | article = The [[Westmoor Times]] has seen fit to answer my editorial with more lies and mis-information, so let me once again set this farce of a realm straight. | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"A failed Ruler made marshal of a fighting force"'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | Ahh so we now resort to personal insults. I fail to see how I am a "failed" ruler, I choose not to run for re-election. | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"First off, Lady Alise, Marshal of Fontan's Fools, Former two time ruler of Fontan (I believe she might have been ruler for a total of 2 1/2 days... wonder why)"'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | More personal insults. Shows how childish [[Westmoor]] really is. With such honor there is no wonder why Fontan calls them a farce of a realm. If this, Hiddukel Kiri-Jolith, who edits their paper is any representation of the nobility of [[Westmoor]], there might just be a lack of nobility. Every Westmoorian I have spoken with so far speaks just like a peasant.<br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"How stupid is THIS? Does Westmoor fly the Perdan Banner?"'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | Lets see, it was created by Perdan, using Perdanese armies, and Perdan nobles. Every noble in the "realm" is from Perdan with the exception of one Caligan, and a couple former Confederates (who were in Perdan before the confederacy). And it's ruler is Perdanese Royalty. If it looks like Perdan, stinks like Perdan, and fights just as horrendous as Perdan does, I'd say it's Perdan. | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"Did Fontan have that agreement with Perdan to create a new realm in Westmoor?"'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | I do not deny this we did, but it was voided long ago. Yes, Fontan and quite a few other realms had an agreement to create a new Coimbra. I find this hilarious since Coimbra and Perdan were enemies. But then Perdan didn't seem to want to back us up when OR and Sirion said such an agreement never existed. Then we ended up at war with both of them over the subject. Even then we still wished to create New Coimbra. Unfortunately the few remaining Coimbraians no longer wanted to, including the Duke of Westmoor of the time Sartan MorningStar. Still when we decided to create a new realm out of Kazakh, we approached Perdan, and they refused because we would not name this new realm Oligarch. So you see there was no longer an agreement, this was all just Perdanese aggression and power hunger. But then again I don't expect any of your monarchs to reveal any of these politics to you. (This is the type of stuff you find out as a ruler by the way.) | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"Westmoor though, as a new start, offered peace."'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | "New start," haha don't make me laugh. Westmoor is Perdan through and through. Once again I don't expect you to understand politics, your Queen was just doing that to try and make Westmoor look good, while everyone with half a brain knows her real intentions. Not to mention if we had accepted peace, you would declare war on us naught but a few weeks later once you stabilized you regions. Your ignorance is amazing. | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"deceitful fools"'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | More childish attacks. How has Fontan ever been deceitful? Ohh I'm sorry you mean Perdan is a bunch of deceitful fools. We only signed the UBA with them, and continuously pushed for an alliance. But Perdan would have none of it. THey knew all along that the UBA was just a ruse so that they could do whatever they wanted in the south while Fontan took care of Sirion and OR. What did they do once they were done in the south? Attack Fontan. Not to mention that they had been planning with Gregor behind our backs for months, knowing he would secede, but yet offering peace and fake friendship to Fontan, knowing all along that they would strike us when we were most vulnerable. I don't know how you define deceit, but that fits the definition I know. | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"You had the option of accepting Perdan enforcing the agreement that the Great and FAIR democracy of Fontan conveniently forgot."'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | Which one? The one that Perdan refused to inforce before or accept? Ohh but wait, monarchs leave their people in the dark about all the twisted things they do diplomatically. | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"Yes, OR decided it signed no agreement to it. Does Fontan believe that voids the agreement between Perdan and Fontan?"'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | Where was Perdan when Sirion and OR were claiming the agreement didn't exsist? Silent as the grave they were, because they were getting exactly what they wanted, a split in the northern alliance so that they could worry free lay Ibladesh, Caligus, and Ubent to waste. What did Perdan say when we tried to honor the agreement still? No thanks. The agreement was voided by Perdan long ago my ignorant friend. | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"Above I see Perdan, Old Rancagua, Sirion, and Fontan... do tell what Westmoor has done to you?"'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | Westmoor is Perdan. Everything Perdan has done to us Westmoor has done to us because Perdan did it to create you. How hard is it to understand? | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"Westmoor's people never declared war upon you."'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | The day Perdan decided to create Westmoor you declared war on us. | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"Again, wherever does it say Westmoor has been planned for months?"'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | ''"The idea of Westmoor's creation has '''finally''' become a reality.''"<br> | ||
+ | I don't know how you define finally, but I take it as meaning after a long period of time. | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"The wishes of Perdan were also to destroy the Fontanese. And for Westmoor to continue the war upon them."'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | The truth come out! | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''"So you agree with the entire Realm of Fontan sending their own personal messages to a ruler? You agree with Mikhail harassing Queen Evangeline in such a manner? You agree with such disrespect. That is a shame."'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | No, but when someone (Evangeline) disrespects them self as much as she has by making as much a fool of herself by saying some of the absurd statements she said, they deserve to have it pointed out to them. But then again Evangeline isn't even a Queen anymore now is she, she is now just a step above a peasant, being a rogue and all. She claims to be the "Queen" of a realm called Westmoor, but all I see is a bunch of raving mad rogues.}} | ||

+ | headline = Fontan City Ours Again, Confederacy Officially Dead!| | ||
+ | author = Alise Athins| | ||
+ | article = The title of this article says it all. After months in the hands of Tyrany [[East Continent/Fontan|Fontan City]] is finally back under the Fontanese banner. We have reclaimed our namesake city, it is a glorious day. Adding to it, the take over of Fontan City now officially ends the rebellion. The division cause by Gregor is now at an end. Though we have lost an enemy, possibly two with the cease fire and possible peace with [[Caligus]], there are still hard times ahead for Fontan. The secession in [[Westmoor]] gives us another adversary, and we still have [[Perdan]] and [[Sirion]] to deal with. Fontan will overcome though. We have beat the odds again, and again, something which will never change as long as their are nobles willing to bleed to protect the democracy that they love. | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | More hope for a bright future for Fontan is Fontan City's new Duke. The Democrat would like to extend a warm congratulations to Duke The Revenger on his appointment. Duke The Revenger is a man of unwavering loyalty to Fontan, and it is certain he will break the chain of secessions Fontan City's last two dukes have created. | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | Lastly I would like to provide a copy of Chancellor Mikhail's speech, as I believe he said everything much better than I ever can: | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''Roleplay from Mikhail Romanov (just in)''<br> | ||
+ | ''Message sent to everyone in your realm (128 recipients)''<br> | ||
+ | ''Friends,''<br><br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''Today is a great day in Fontanese history. It is thanks to all of your combined efforts that we together, as a people, have overcome great challenges and adversity to reunify our realm and put an end to the Confederacy.'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | ''I would like to thank the efforts of General Basilius, Duke Sulliven, Lord Ertugrul, the nobles of the Lions, the nobles of OoT, FSR, DG, DA, FR, FA and every single Fontanese who worked together in unison for this event to be possible.'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | ''It was only mere months ago that Gregor drove a stake through this realm, causing severe chaos, disunity and darkness. But the achievement that has been done here today shows that we are once again a strong people, who can and will rise to the challenges presented to us, and a people who will continue to live on.'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | ''It is with great pride that I appoint according to the will of the people of Fontan one of the most loyal, steadfast and unwavering nobles to ever serve our realm as the Duke of Fontan. I have known The Revenger for countless years, he has been at our realms side in times both good and bad, his commitment to our people and our ideals never failing.'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | ''This is a man who we have absolute trust in, and who will never fail us. Fontan City under his leadership will never secede again, this I know.'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | ''This however is only but one phase of the long journey ahead of us. We face many fights, many challenges that will test our ability to work together and our strength as a people in the face of hardship. But what has been proven today is that we are a people who do not shy away in the face of the hardships that are presented to us or the lot we have been given in this life, that we do not fear the challenges or difficulties that circumstance has brought us, but that we are a brave and honourable people who see these times as a time of oppurtunity, of history, of the making of great deeds and great men.'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | ''We will do great things together, and we will remember these times happily and in nostalgia in the future, because it is times like these that we are tested and we show our true character. We can accomplish great things with the oppurtunities presented to us, but we need the strength, resolve, patience and loyalty of every Fontanese noble to do it.'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | ''I call on every Fontanese citizen on this great day to not only celebrate, but to gain strength and renew their strength and commitment to this great realm of ours.'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | ''We have a great war to fight, a people to save from the forces Tyranny. Lets do it together.'' | ||
+ | <br><br> | ||
+ | ''thanks,'' | ||
+ | <br><br><br> | ||
+ | ''Mikhail Romanov''<br> | ||
+ | ''Chancellor of Fontan''}} | ||

+ | article = Yesterday King Sangue of Perdan, declared Perdan would be taking a more active role in protecting their allies in the north Old Rancagua. A large force of Perdan's then moved into the region of Gadlock, which is Sultanate land. The Sultanate swiftly made the war official and declared war on Perdan. The Sultanate also dropped relations with the rogues in Westmoor, who they were originally at peace with, due to them allowing Perdan to use their lands as a stepping stone into the SoA. This just proves these rogues are just Perdanese lapdogs, and we look forward to their destruction.}} | ||
