|article= 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.}}
The terms are not laid out, but we can only hope this turns into peace and pressure [[Ibladesh]] into stopping, seeing as how their allies have decided to give up the hostilites.

Peace will come, but I don't ever remember us fighting Yssaria, except once, and we still won. They are too far away, so it was almost like a cease-fire. Good, great.

|headline= Itorunt Nobles Tortured and Executed
article =In an interview earlier today, Queen Clarissa of Perdan released the following statement regarding the recent peace treaty between [[Perdan]] and [[Itorunt]].
+
|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."''
 
 
''"As all nobles of Perdan know, and many of our good citizens, we have agreed to peace with the Kingdom of Itorunt. I hope this is the birth of a long friendship between Itorunt and Perdan, something we have not had together in the history of our realms."''
 
 
 
We here at The Rampant Lion agree whole-heartedly with Queen Clarissa's statement.}}

headline =Invasion repelled, Attackers routed!|
 
article =Three cheers for the Perdanese army! In a long series of running battles, the army of [[Perdan]] has repelled, routed, and completely decimated a massive invading army of [[Sirion]]and [[Fontan]] troops.  The invading army of over 2,500 men fell for the Perdanese trap and attacked the capital city of [[East Continent/Partora|Partora]]. After an epic battle, then enemy troops were repelled from the city's high walls and thrown back. During the attack, the Perdanese reinforcements swept out from [[East Continent/Perdan|Perdan]] city and cut off the enemy's path of retreat in [[East Continent/Brive|Brive]]. The reinforcing Perdanese troops also managed to catch some lagging enemy forces in Bescanon, denying them the critical reinforcements they needed to secure their escape.
 
 
 
Although the invaders managed to regroup and successfully swarm over the walls in a second attack, the majority of their forces were still scattered and routed. A mere handful were able to gain access to the city of Partora itself. Before long, the Perdanese reinforcements from Brive arrived and took care of the remaining enemy troops in the city. Over the next several days the Perdanese army harassed and harried the enemy as they attempted to flee back through Brive, [[East Continent/Bescanon|Bescanon]], and eventually to [[East Continent/Troyes|Troyes]]. Very few enemy nobles managed to make it to Troyes with any of their men left alive. Dozens of their nobles were wounded or imprisoned. The General of Sirion himself, Sir Boom Boomm, former Duke of [[East Continent/Slimbar|Slimbar]] was captured in the attack on Partora. Several other region lordsof both Fontan and Sirion were seriously wounded or Captured.
 
 
 
In total, over '''90 enemy nobles''' participated in the invasion culminating in the attack on Partora. That amounts to '''over one half of the nobles of both Fontan and Sirion ''put together!''''' The vast majority of these nobles left their entire troop of men dead on the battlefield, dying while trying to escape to Troyes, or hunted down by the Perdanese forces. The massive enemy losses reduced the military strength of Sirion and Fontan to levels never before seen, even lower than the levels seen during the height of their long and bloody wars with [[Oligarch]].
 
 
 
Hopefully Perdan has now demonstrated to these vultures the strength of her resolve to resist their incursions into our territory. Perdan will never surrender to the likes of these. We have resisted them time and again. They have left untold thousdands of their troops dead on Perdanese soil. We will continue to send them home, bloody and battered, as many times as it takes to convince them that Perdan is '''not''' the easy target she seemd just a few weeks ago!}}

article =I think there is something Perdan should do, with the ongoing war in the north.
 
 
 
I think we should move the capital to Perdan city. It's more well is well fortified, and it's closer to the front we are fighting on, so then we can finally go on offense up north.
 
 
 
We can't sit around and twiddle our thumbs waiting for them to come. I know were playing offensive downsouth, but If we weren't being cooped up north in either partora or Perdan, Partora wouldn't have been sacked for 12 hours.
 
 
 
We could destroy any Ibladesh raiding party they could to muster. I think with a little gusto and some luck, they could make it to Partora. But they wouldn't make it to Perdan, for sure.
 
We could also move it up north to control the flip-flop states of brive and Bescanon. These 2 regions have become like a Clermont, switching hands constantly.  It is a foothold in our empire, like Clermont is a foothold in Ibladeshs.
 
 
 
Of course, it would come with its disadvantages. A further walk to fight the Ibbys, but they seem to be coming north anyways. But since we have made peace with Itorunt, maybe Ibladesh and its little buddy Yssaria will stop soon too. It could also mean an easier looting of our capital, but we'd also have a force to stop it.
 
 
 
Now, i'm not really sure if this is allowed (some stuff I read in other newspapers discussion page) but it could also just be a move to tell pointy ears and the Fontan lapdoggies to beat it.

article =In a recent article, the editors of the [[Red Star Courier]] have published a rather long editorial regarding the state of the conflict between [[Caligus]] and [[Yssaria]]. At its core, the article makes the claim that Caligus is a dishonorable realm for several reasons. Among them is the fact that those scurvy scalliwags in Caligus won't just lay down and die.
 
 
 
Specifically, the Red Star editor claims the following: ''"The choice for Caligus is clear, some honor in defeat, or total dishonor leading to total destruction."'' The Yssarian demands for peace with Caligus include the surrender of [[East Continent/Domus|Domus]], the Caligan capital city. As Domus is also Caligus' only city, and none of their other remaining regions is a townsland region, that would mean the destruction of Caligus. Without a capital, the realm would soon die.
 
 
 
It seems to me that Yssaria has given Caligus a Hobson's choice: ''Kill yourselves [by surrendering your capital to us], or we'll kill you [by taking it from you].'' In either case, the result is the same: The death of the realm of Caligus. Let's leave aside for a minute all the issues of who started what, and who atacked who/when/where. The peace treaty Yssaria is offering Caligus '''really isn't a peace treaty at all'''. It's an executioner's warrant. Yssaria is asking Caligus to do the ''honorable'' thing and show up at the gallows of their own free will. Only a suicidal fool would agree to that.
 
 
 
It is our opinion that it would be much better for Yssaria to offer Caligus a treaty that would allow them to survive as a realm, much like the Southern Federation did with [[Ubent]]. One possible option would be to take [[East Continent/Aestus|Aestus]] and [[East Continent/Sordidus|Sordidus]] and leave Caligus with [[East Continent/Domus|Domus]], [[East Continent/Scio|Scio]], and [[East Continent/Nascot|Nascot]]. With only those three regions Caligus would be a threat to no one. Yssaria would have won. A second option would be for Yssaria to negotiate the return of [[East Continent/Tokat|Tokat]] from [[Light of Fountain]] to Caligus. It is a townsland region and could be used as the capital of the realm of Caligus. In this case, Yssaria would need to allow Caligus to retain Aestus and Sordidus, but that is hardly much of a concession. They are both low population regions with very little gold to offer. Yssaria would have won the prize region of Domus from Caligus. Either option provides Caligus a choice whether to live with their defeat, or die in battle, as [[Oligarch]], [[Rancagua]], and [[Avamar]] chose to do.
 
 
 
In any case the terms of the (so called) peace treaty being offered is, of course, up to Yssaria. But if they insist that the peace terms include the surrender of Domus, well... Call a spade a spade, is what I always say. Yssaria should at least be honest about it, and admit that what they seek is the complete destruction of Caligus. Don't expect the Caligans to fall all over themselves to be the first to agree to this so-called peace. After all, Yssaria really gives them no choice but to fight to the last man. <br>''--Balkeese''}}

article = In a welcomed, but unexcpected of events, [[Itorunt]] and [[Perdan]] have agreed to a cease-fire, and eventually Peace.  
 
Queen Clarissa and King Lucian have shown a willingness for peace. King Lucian also proposed a peace treaty to [[Ibladesh]] on behalf of Perdan, but Quake said no.
 
Here are the terms:
 
Instrument of Peace between the Kingdom of Perdan and the Empire of Itorunt
 
 
 
Being necessary to ensure the honourable settlement of conflict and embrace of peace in the south-west, the aforementioned agree to the following:
 
 
 
*1) The aforementioned will improve relations to peace.
 
 
 
*2) The Kingdom of Perdan will renounce all claims on the region of [[East Continent/Clermont|Clermont]] in favour of the Empire of Itorunt.
 
 
 
*3) The Kingdom of Perdan will offer the region of [[East Continent/Bisciye|Bisciye]] to the Empire of Itorunt.
 
 
 
*4) The Empire of Itorunt will renounce all claims on the region of [[East Continent/Lorient|Lorient]] in favour of the Kingdom of Perdan.
 
  
*5) The Empire of Itorunt will not intervene in an aggressive fashion in the war between the Kingdom of Perdan and the Theocracy of Ibladesh, unless the continued independent existence of the Theocracy of Ibladesh be threatened.
+
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.
  
*6) These terms may be renegotiated and confirmed at a later date with the consent of both parties.
+
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.}}

TRL Header.png


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.

Light of Fountain Is No More
Fontan has captured the stronghold of Akesh Temple, the capital of Light of Fountain. This brings an end to the theocracy of Light of Fountain.

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.
