January 1st - In a brave show of force, Sir Demastes of Upper Tell and others rallied the Leonian militia against the Silnarian horde's move to Cheltenborne, checking their advance and taking the field. |
By Lazlo Lemont II | The Sitting Siege | State of the Realm |
After months of engagement the glorious armies of Minas Leon began a takeover of Shanandoah. The city, once a shining capital, sat decrepit and and fallow under the "administration" of its savage warlord. Speaking to personal experience, I took some time to meander about its dirty streets while my men took to their task of urging the people to accept our King's civilized rule. It truly was a sad sight- the once burgeoning marketplace sat ransacked and filled with filth and beggars of the worst kind. Its starving people cried out for a more generous and foresightful ruler, but deep within the keep of Shanandoah their liege plotted, not to ensure the betterment of his people, but to hold the titles unjustly granted him by the non-realm Shanandoah from the corpse of Prince Claudius Motosuwa. With the end of the siege in sight, the treacherous Philip Lacoste renounced his allegiance to Silnaria and stole away the city to Tara, where the Minas Leon armies found themselves bound by our honor and dignity to honor the new flags dyed in Taran blue. Such a deceitful move, to use our own obligations to honor and fealty against us! The siege continued for the rest of the month, but with no overt attempts to take the realm. As the armies remained camped outside the city of Shanandoah, former Silnarians flocked to this new holdout. Dressed as Taran soldiers, they walked past our camped legions unmolested to undo the great work done by our people. It is hoped by this editor that the rulers of Tara rightfully look upon these erstwhile allies with great suspicion. |
By Lazlo Lemont II | Lyonesse Joins the Brawl, Immediately Loses Ground | Foreign News Update |
On the eve of our takeover of Shanandoah, a farcical new development occurred in the giant smashup between Darka and the Cagilan Empire. After some time of perceived hostility, Lyonesse lowered their relations with Darka to full neutrality while continuing to make friendly overtures to the Cagilan Empire. Darka responded to this attempt of Lyonesse to both have and eat cake by declaring war upon them. The Hysterically Howling Himouras soon found their gambit to be quite the folly, losing the cake, the table, and the kitchen set too. By the end of the month Darka had taken over both Slantrax and Agnilar, defeated Lyonesse in every major engagement between the two powers, and even the former capital of Eston, Hawthorne, abandoned the hilarious Himouras to pledge its allegiance to the Darkan cause. We at the Leon's Roar spoke with King Kostaja about this downspiral of fortune for Lyonesse, specifically Margrave Gian D'Este's defection to Darka. The interview is printed below:
