|headline= Itorunt Nobles Tortured and Executed
|-

|article= Two days ago Sir Geoffrey, a noble of [[Itorunt]], was executed by Sir Eleran Perfect II, judge of [[Tuchanon V]]. This follows closely on the heels of the execution of Itoruntian noble Sir Olorin at the hands of Sir Lothar of [[Ubent]]. Both realms had non-execution agreements with Itorunt at the time. Both judges also claimed that they were new to the office of judge, and were not aware of any such agreement. Sir Eleran not only stated that he did not know of any agreement, but that it did not matter if a prior judge of Tuchanon V had made such an agreement, as the agreement was not made with him. Sir Eleran's statement regarding the matter was extremely confused: ''"Itorunt and Tuchanon V do not have any agreements. Itorunt may have one with Tuchanon V, but I do not have one with Itorunt."''

| width="100%" colspan="3" align="left" |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.
+
Sir Geoffrey was also repeatedly tortured only 10 days ago by Sir Rackir, also of Tuchanon V. When questioned about the events, Sir Rackir replied that since he was incapable of defending his lands militarily, that he ''"..will make their nobles pay..."''. This tactic is reminiscent of the tactics of those employed by the Avamarian occupational government of the Kalmar Islands against the liberating army of Perdan. These tactics backfired against the Avamarians in the Islands, and they will no doubt backfire against the Tuchanons as well. Such desperate brutality only engenders hatred and resentment against those who employ it.}}

|headline=Light of Fountain On Its Last Legs
 +
|article=Despite being caught in a war against four enemies, [[Fontan]] has shown great military acumen in prosecuting the war. They have held off assaults by [[Sirion]], [[Old Rancagua]], [[Obsidian Islands]], and [[Light of Fountain]]. Not only that, they have managed to gain territory despite the number of enemies they have faced. Fontan has taken control of [[Poitiers]] from Old Rancagua, and [[Tokat]] and [[Sordidus]] from Light of Fountain. Although they lost control of [[Montijo]] to Sirion for a short while, they took control of the region of [[Oberndorf]] away from Sirion in return.
  
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.
+
Following a series of battles and TOs, Fontan has now reduced Light of Fountain to a single region: Their capital in [[Akesh Temple]]. Fontan is also currently in uncontested possession of Akesh Temple, with Light of Fountain having no military forces left at all. It will only be a matter of time, days perhaps, before Fontan completes eliminates the realm that seceded from them nearly two years ago.}}

'''May 4, 2006 - ''' Now that the [[Kalmar Islands]] has been reformed into a democracy, I thought it would be an interesting time to take a look at who is currently calling the Islands their home. It's probably no surprise to anyone who has been following the story that there are a quite a few nobles in the Islands that used to call [[Avamar]] their home. In fact, '''18''' of the current 42 nobles are either directly from Avamar, or have very strong family ties to Avamar. It's also interesting to note that no less than '''seven''' of these former Avamarians deserted [[Oligarch]] while their capital was under siege by their greatest enemy. [[Sirion]]. How's that for loyalty? After their precious Avamar is destroyed by Sirion, Oligarch is nice enough to give them shelter, and allow them to continue the fight against Sirion. Then when the chips are down and Oligarch is in desperate need, they turn around and desert Oligarch.

{{RampantRight
So there you have it. Avamar gets destroyed. Many former Avamarians desert Oligarch on the verge of it being destroyed by the same enemy. Then they gather in the ruins of another realm they overthrew so they could form Avamar Jr. Congratulations guys. Now we can see what freedom, democracy, and the will of the people really mean to Avamar. i.e. Nothing, when it stands in the way of them getting what they want.

'''April 26, 2006 - ''' Rotating door governments in [[Old Rancagua]]? The last hour has seen not one, but ''two'' rebellions in Old Rancagua. Fuinur, the ruler prior to the last series of rebellions and counter-rebellions, declared a rebellion and overthrew the government in the span of less than an hour. But less than 20 minutes later, another rebellion was announced!  How long will it take for the government of Old Rancagua to settle down and get back to the task of ruling, rather than rebelling? ''Update: The counter-rebellion has succeeded. Thalanteus has seized control, and declared the new government a monarchy.''
 
 
 
'''April 24, 2006 - '''The small raiding party of [[Ibladesh]]ian and [[Itorunt]] troops has largely been driven from [[Perdan]]ese lands. Their small expeditionary force was contained to the westernmost border regions. They failed to penetrate into the heartland regions of Perdan, and their looting was mostly ineffectual. The addition of a small [[Yssaria]]n contingent was unable to reinforce the invaders enough to enable them to stand against the [[Perdan]]ese armies. The enemy rearguard was last seen in [[East Continent/Clermont|Clermont]] headed for [[East Continent/Al Aquabah|Al Aquabah]].
 
 
 
'''April 21, 2006 - ''' Looks like the small group of [[Ibladesh]] and [[Itorunt]] soldiers attempting to raid the regions of [[Perdan]] hit a brick wall in [[East Continent/Beziers|Beziers]]. A brick wall named the Perdanese army. In an ill-conceived attack on Beziers, a noble from Ibladesh and two nobles from Itorunt, with a combined total on 66 soldiers, attacked over 600 battle-hardened Perdanese troops. In the short battle that ensued, Alex Exiled, editor of the [[Itorunt Informer]] was wounded.
 
 
 
'''April 17, 2006 - ''' After four straight days of looting and pillaging, the armies of [[Perdan]] and [[Ubent]] leave [[East Continent/Ibladesh|Ibladesh]]. During the occupation of the city, the city walls were reduced from a mote and bailey to a mere pallisade. The population of Ibladesh is starving, with thousands dieing from the lack of food. Several of the occupying soldiers were taken ill due to the poor conditions in the city, and rumours of plague abound.

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.
The only thing necessary
for the triumph [of evil]
is for good men to do nothing.

Ashforth Sacked
At the same time that Fontan has been taking control of the capital of Light of Fountain, they have also been fiercely attacking Old Rancagua. While successfully attacking and defeating the Old Rancaguan army, the Fontanese army has been plundering the Old Rancaguan capital city of Ashforth. Fontan's simultaneous military accomplishments against Sirion, Old Rancagua, and Light of Fountain have been extremely successful.

Itorunt Nobles Tortured and Executed
Two days ago Sir Geoffrey, a noble of Itorunt, was executed by Sir Eleran Perfect II, judge of Tuchanon V. This follows closely on the heels of the execution of Itoruntian noble Sir Olorin at the hands of Sir Lothar of Ubent. Both realms had non-execution agreements with Itorunt at the time. Both judges also claimed that they were new to the office of judge, and were not aware of any such agreement. Sir Eleran not only stated that he did not know of any agreement, but that it did not matter if a prior judge of Tuchanon V had made such an agreement, as the agreement was not made with him. Sir Eleran's statement regarding the matter was extremely confused: "Itorunt and Tuchanon V do not have any agreements. Itorunt may have one with Tuchanon V, but I do not have one with Itorunt."

Sir Geoffrey was also repeatedly tortured only 10 days ago by Sir Rackir, also of Tuchanon V. When questioned about the events, Sir Rackir replied that since he was incapable of defending his lands militarily, that he "..will make their nobles pay...". This tactic is reminiscent of the tactics of those employed by the Avamarian occupational government of the Kalmar Islands against the liberating army of Perdan. These tactics backfired against the Avamarians in the Islands, and they will no doubt backfire against the Tuchanons as well. Such desperate brutality only engenders hatred and resentment against those who employ it.

Light of Fountain On Its Last Legs
Despite being caught in a war against four enemies, Fontan has shown great military acumen in prosecuting the war. They have held off assaults by Sirion, Old Rancagua, Obsidian Islands, and Light of Fountain. Not only that, they have managed to gain territory despite the number of enemies they have faced. Fontan has taken control of Poitiers from Old Rancagua, and Tokat and Sordidus from Light of Fountain. Although they lost control of Montijo to Sirion for a short while, they took control of the region of Oberndorf away from Sirion in return.

Following a series of battles and TOs, Fontan has now reduced Light of Fountain to a single region: Their capital in Akesh Temple. Fontan is also currently in uncontested possession of Akesh Temple, with Light of Fountain having no military forces left at all. It will only be a matter of time, days perhaps, before Fontan completes eliminates the realm that seceded from them nearly two years ago.
