It appears the East Continent is in desperate need of a shake-up. | ||

Firstly, Chancellor Lilith proclaims that Light of Fountain is not a legitimate realm. | Firstly, Chancellor Lilith proclaims that Light of Fountain is not a legitimate realm. That they betrayed the mother realm through secession. What was Fontan thinking therefore when it signed a peace treaty with Light of Fountain?

Second possible reason, the unexplained attacks across the LoF/Fontan border on murderous settings. | Second possible reason, the unexplained attacks across the LoF/Fontan border on murderous settings.

Are a few unordered skirmishes the reason for destroying Light of Fountain? Maybe more palpable. | ||
Thirdly, this one was apparently handed to Chancellor Lilith by a helpful ruler. | Thirdly, this one was apparently handed to Chancellor Lilith by a helpful ruler. Could it be that they need a new city to finally fulfill their promise of founding New Coimbra? Nice afterthought, but an ironic reasoning to destroy a realm in order to resurrect one. | ||
Now... the fourth reason I have had suggested. | Now... the fourth reason I have had suggested. Fontan is bored, Fontan wants to broaden its already expansive borders and Light of Fountain is a weaker opponent. Muttered by most of the continent already, could this be the truth of the matter? | ||
Four reasons, each equally unacceptable in my opinion - how will the continent react to this war? Which realms will standby and watch one realm expand its borders mercilessly, while another is destroyed? | Four reasons, each equally unacceptable in my opinion - how will the continent react to this war?

In every land, in every age, there are always tyrants that will prey on those who are weaker than themselves. Given free reign, they will spread their lies across the land. They build empires on a foundation of deceit, manipulation, and boundless ambition. Left unchecked these tyrants will devastate East Island, and all it's inhabitants, in wars without end. The Kingdom of Perdan will not stand idly by while the East Island is led into ruin and destruction. The Rampant Lion will stand forth as a beacon of truth regarding the travails of Perdan as it seeks to oppose those who would bring destruction upon our lands. As events in Perdan unfold, they will be chronicled here so all people on the East Island have access to an accurate, fair accounting of the events taking place in our world. | for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke (attrib.) |
