article =Take a look at this map. It is a political map of the East Island, with each of the various realms show in a separate color.
+
|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.}}

|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."''

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.

At first glance, this might look like a rather normal, uninteresting political map of the Island. There are several realms of varying sizes, distributed across the Island. Plenty of shared borders, and many chances for intrigue and conflict. That, however, would be a rather inaccurate first impression. Take a look at this map:
+
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.}}

A few weeks ago, the realm of [[Sirion]] announced that they were forming a federation with [[Fontan]]. Two days later they followed this up with an announcement that they were also federating with [[Old Rancagua]]. Now, in addition to a large Souther Federation, we have another large Northern Federation.

Each of these federations are comprised of separate realms that are large and powerful in their own right. When taken together these nations for a much larger, and much more powerful federation. With the recent announcements by Sirion, Fontan, and Old Rancagua the northern end of the East Island is now locked together in an extremely powerful federation to rival that of the older Southern Federation.

What some nobles may not be aware of, however, is the relationship between these two massive federations. The northern and southern federations have extremely close ties to each other. Sirion is allied to all three of the southern federation realms. Fontan is allied with two of them, and Old Rancagua to one. What these additional alliances do is lock '''75%''' of the island into one massive political entity.

The question we must all ask ourselves, is this: What happens when the nobles of this massive, island-dominating federation decide that what they have is not enough? What happens when they get bored with chasing rumors of monsters through the woods, and when the novelty of endless tournaments wears off? Where will they turn to find their next conquest? Does anyone really believe they will turn on each other, and break these massive super-federations?}}

The treaty has , for the past four months, held most of the continent at peace, and allowed for the extermination of the occupational government of the Kalmar Islands. With the treaty expired and no sign of it being extended, many people are worried that the war will simply resume where it left off. While there have been general rumblings of turmoil along the eastern coasts, there has as yet been no firm information on the commencement of hostilities.}}

article = The massed assault of forces from [[Perdan]] and [[Itorunt]] on the fortress of [[East Continent/Chaos Temple|Chaos Temple]] has finally begun. 1,500 troops assaulted the fortress walls with numerous siege engines, against 1,041 defending troops. The battle raged for many hours, with the attackers eventually being pushed back. During the battle the fortifications were breached in several places, reducing their effectiveness from a fortress ''(5)'' to a stronghold ''(4)''. Most of the militia manning the walls were killed, and the remainder of the defending forces were decimated. The lack of population in the region, plus the wounding of the local Duke, will prevent the adding of more militia to reinforce the walls and the hiring of more troops by the nobles.

Many valiant nobles were wounded and captured on both sides. Two of the defending nobles were captured, including Fia, the Minister of Defense of Kalmar Islands. Twelve additional defending nobles were wounded, including Sir Lalakis, Duke of Chaos Temple, and Sir Kocur, Minister of Finances of Kalmar Islands.

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.
