+ | date = July 20, 2007 | ||
+ | This reporter is extremely proud to announce that his first battle as Minister of Defense was a complete success. At sunset today, the Ithilian army was led to the slaughter like cattle. The ferocious Vikings of Norland made short work of the attackers, who suffered horrible casualties, while taking only light casualties themselves. The only stain on this glorious victory is the capture of Owen, Marshal of the Army of Heimdal's Horn. Owen got a bit overexcited, as he left the walls of Mansbridge prematurely, and his unit was routed in a cavalry charge. His sacrifice worked wonders, however, as the archers of Norland gratefully picked off many horsemen that had wandered too close to the walls. | ||
+ | |||
+ | High Marshal Relkin of Minas Ithil foolishly sent his armies forward with as little as three siege towers. The Ithilians were funneled straight into a corridor of blood-thirsty warriors, and mowed down bin droves. A last ditch attempt to break the Viking battle line with cavalry was foiled, and now the soldiers of Norland only had to pick a target, and put it down. Only five Viking units were routed, against the entire Ithilian army. When the dust had finally settled, the Vikings stood victorious over the corpses of their enemies. | ||

More specifically in the regions of Uforth, Norland and Jerkel, Barony of Makar, where the local rebels have seen fit to declare independence simultaneously. The rebellions were swiftly crushed, but no less than a week later, Jerkel has revolted a second time.

Althoug mostly, the men are just liberating their little generals from the shackles of their undergarments, and spreading the seeds of themselves amongst the female populace. As a Viking, I am offended, and that says a lot. Us lot may not be the most refined - or 'civilised', as Captain often says it - but even we don't engage in random acts of rape, arson and murder. We have the courtesy to limit ourselves to tax offices, farms, forts and the occasional weekend hero wielding a pitchfork. And we certainly have the decency to call it what it is: looting. |
The editors of the waste paper more commonly known as the Tara Times, seem to consider the conduct of the Tarans an act of libeartion. Liberation, even though the peasants have resisted several takeovers. Liberation, even though the vast majority of peasants remains loyal to RedSpan. Liberation, even though it is painfully obvious that the Tarans are simply scavenging. Wasn't it just a few months ago that the Tarans stood in Stargard, ready to defend the city from the Ashlanteans? And wasn't it Prime Minister Vengence himself who pushed RedSpan into attacking the Ashlanteans in the first place? It seems honour is a loose concept in Foda and Cagil. But then again, you cannot expect to find much honour - or spines - in a nation that essentially lives off what their masters throw them, or in a nation that embraces the same methods it despises us, Vikings, for. The Talerians, as usual, seem content just tagging along with their big buddies from Cagil. And as for Carelia? Well, why choose the path of honour when you can prey on your former allies? | The editors of the waste paper more commonly known as the Tara Times, seem to consider the conduct of the Tarans an act of libeartion.

News from the North |
Rebels in the north |
by Ceowfyr the Brave |
July 19, 2007
For the last week or so, the northern pocket of Atamara has seen some unusual activity. More specifically in the regions of Uforth, Norland and Jerkel, Barony of Makar, where the local rebels have seen fit to declare independence simultaneously. The rebellions were swiftly crushed, but no less than a week later, Jerkel has revolted a second time. Perhaps they are sympathetic with their peers in Galadia, Belegmon or Meldeen, perhaps they have been out into the sun for too long (extended exposure or worship of the Sun may lead to madness, see Athonlaurism) or perhaps they truly think they can survive on their own. Needless to say, the Norlanders are not impressed, and the rebellion in Uforth is as good as over. A few knuckleheads still offer resistance, but really, all is hunky dory on our side of Renegade Road. |
