'''April 15, 2006 - '''The looting and occupation of the city of [[East Continent/Ibladesh|Ibladesh]] continues unopposed. Small forces of Itorunt and Ibladesh troops continue to sacrifice themselves by attacking the massive occupying forces, to no avail. At this point, the only troops remaining in the city are those of the occupying forces. Morale and loyalty of the city is beginning to drop. The city walls are being dismantled by the occupying forces.

Pontifex Sorcha, ruler of [[Ibladesh]] was captured by the [[Perdan]]ese army in the city of [[East Continent/Ibladesh|Ibladesh]], leaving Ibladesh with no ruler. After a short time, Quake was elected as the new Pontifex of Ibladesh. Perhaps with a reasonable ruler in control in Ibladesh, reason will return, and this war can finally be put to an end.

In a major tactical and strategic victory the armies of [[Perdan]] and [[Ubent]] assaulted and sacked the White City of [[East Continent/Ibladesh|Ibladesh]]! The attacking armies vastly outnumbered the defenders, with over twice the number of troops as the defending forces. After a short and bloody battle, the defenders were completely routed. Over half their troops were killed in the battle, and almost all the remaining troops wounded. During the course of the attack the walls of the city, already reduced to a mere mote and bailey following repeated attacks by Perdanese and Ubent forces, suffered extensive damage. TK Jones, the King of Itorunt, was in the city at the time of the attack and suffered a minor wound.

−
Witnesses report widespread looting an pillaging by the victorious armies. Current reports show well over a thousand gold looted, and the looting has barely begun.
 
−
 
 
−
Why were there only a few hundred defenders to hold off the thousands of attackers? Where were the defending forces of Ibladesh, and their staunch ally, Itorunt? It seems that Ibladesh and Itorunt have sent large forces off to the Mines of Isadril to attack the Ubentian militia. Itorunt has also sent a significant number of forces south to chase after [[Perdan#Perdan.27s_Murderous_Wrath|Perdan's Murderous Wrath]], the elite Perdanese battlegroup. For nearly a week the PMW has been on a diversionary looting spree through Yssaria, southern Ibladesh and eastern Itorunt. When Ibladesh and Itorunt took the bait, sending forces south and east to try and trap them, the Perdanese army swept down through [[East Continent/Al Aquabah|Al Aquabah]] and into Ibladesh, virtually unopposed.

−
'''April 12, 2006 - ''' It has been a quiet few days on the [[East Island]]. The siege on [[East Continent/Oligarch|Oligarch]] by [[Sirion]] and [[Fontan]] continues. No region control changes, and no major battles reported.
 
−
 
 
−
As for the [[The Rampant Lion/Kalmar Rebellion|Kalmar Rebellion]], Legatus [[DeSyrr Family|DeSyrr]], a noble from the pre-rebellion government of the [[Kalmar Islands]], has [[The_Kalmarian_Chronicles#Civil_War_Uppdate|posted his response]] to [[The Rampant Lion/Kalmar Rebellion/Lalakis' Second Statement|Lalakis' Second Statement]]. This is the statement where Lalakis says that El Cid's rebellion against the Kalmar Islands government is OK. That is, it's OK as long as El Cid gets the blame, and Lalakis gets to form Avamr Jr. in the Islands, despite the fact that the original Kalamar Islands government wanted nothing whatsoever to do with Avamar. In his response, Legatus DeSyrr raises some very good points. If you are interested in following the events of the Kalmar rebellion, I highly recommend reading Legatus' article.
 
−
 
 
−
One particular point that Legatus brings up is the possibility of a draft in the Kalmar Islands. Does El Cid really plan on drafting peasants to play soldiers in his army? That sounds like a great plan to get the Islands back on a good footing. Draft what few peasants remain on the islands in order to support his despotic plans. Do the nobles supporting this illegitimate Kalmar Islands government really think that El Cid has what it takes to turn the Kalmar Islands into a flourishing, prosperous realm? If so, I recommend that they take a look at El Cid's history of bannings, rebellions, and hopping around from realm to realm. After that, if you still want to follow him, then you deserve to get what's coming to you.
 
−
 
 
−
Oh, and by the way, did you know that El Cid [[Rogala Family|claims to be the secret, illegitimate love child]] of Doc Primus, long-time ruler of [[Sirion]] and Gwynyth Kazan, current Queen of [[Caligus]]? I wonder if Doc Primus and Queen Gwynyth know about that? Seeing as how Doc Primus is 52, Gwynyth Kazan is 37, and El Cid is '''34''', I suppose, if it's true, that this would make Doc Primus a child molester, since Gwynyth would have been '''3 years old''' at the time she gave birth to El Cid! Does Doc Primus know that El Cid claims Doc Primus is a pedophiliac? Does Queen Gwynyth know that she gave birth when she was 3 years old? I would hope this is just another lie by El Cid.

−
'''April 10, 2006 - '''I have added a few new letters to the [[The Rampant Lion/Kalmar Rebellion|Kalmar Rebellion]] page. As expected, and to no one's surprise, El Cid is showing his terrorist colors by threatening to execute hostages every turn until the other rulers on East Island do what he tells them to do. *yawn* How cliché. The really interesting letter is one that Sir Lalakis sent to all the rulers on the [[East Island]]. In his letter Lalakis completely reverses his position on the rebellion, and says that the rebellion is a Good Thing™, as long as El Cid takes the blame for it before handing the [[Kalmar Islands]] over to some self-proclaimed Avamar government-in-exile. How convenient for Lalakis. Someone else does all the dirty work so Lalakis can keep his hands clean.
 
−
 
 
−
Hey Lalakis, we have some news for you: ''the Kalmar Islands are not going to become Avamar Jr.'' If you want to reform [[Avamar|your little elven happy-land]], then go take it back from [[Sirion|the people who took it from you in the first place!]]. Don't go around trying to take advantage of someone else's misfortune to further your own dubious ends. I'm willing to bet that most of the people who called Kalmar Islands their home before El Cid came along don't give two shake's of a rat's tail about you or your plans for your Avamar Jr.
 
−
 
 
−
Oh, and El Cid: Enjoy the spotlight while it lasts. It's only a matter of time before he curtain comes down on your little tyranny. And I'm betting that with all the people you're angering, it will probably be a short time. A '''very''' time.

'''April 7, 2006 - '''Well, it looks like the rebellion in [[Kalmar Islands]] has brought about a stronger response than we first expected. Some large forces from [[Perdan]] are headed north. They haven't told us where we're headed yet. The infantrymen think it might be a boat ride, but that thought makes the cavalry nervous. Apparently their horses don't do well in the heavy seas. They're hoping for a charge across the plains, to take pointy ears for trophies.

The rebel El Cid, in the [[Kalmar Islands]], is claiming that his rebellion is going to re-establish the realm of [[Avamar]]. Any one who bothers to check [http://battlemaster.org/UserDetails.php?ID=3697&HistoryLevel=3 El Cid's family history] can see that this is nothing but a smoke screen. In fact, El Cid was ''banned'' from Avamar for inciting a rebellion there. El Cid's purpose in inciting a rebellion is nothing other than an attempt to cause trouble. [[Cheung_Family#3._Lorraine|Queen Lorraine]] of [[Perdan]] has announced that, in the absence of evidence that the rebellion truly carries the support of the majority of the legitimate nobles of the Kalmar Islands, Perdan will support Prometheus and her royalists as the rightful government of the Kalmar Islands.
 
−
 
 
−
''Update:'' The rebellion in the [[Kalmar Islands]] has been successful. El Cid has, yet again, succeeded in sowing strife and discord in his wake. He must surely know that his small tyranny cannot stand against the forces of [[Perdan]] and [[Old Rancagua]], the two realms that combined to create the realm of Kalmar Islands after the [[Bad Tidings|Great Eruption]].
 
−
 
 
−
''Second update:'' Oracle has started a counter-rebellion aginst El Cid's tyranny.

−
''' April 5, 2006 - ''' Rebellion in [[Kalmar Islands]]? Take a look at [http://battlemaster.org/UserDetails.php?ID=3697&HistoryLevel=3 this]. It appers that El Cid, and his entire family, are nothing but troublemakers where ever they go. I would hope that none of the nobles in the Kalmar Islands would be foolish enough to follow this rogue.

'''April 4, 2006 - ''' The forces of [[Caligus]] were defeated yet again by the [[Yssaria]]ns. This is becoming a disturbing trend. In the last five major battles between these two realms, all in [[East Continent/Supra|Supra]], Caligus has been on the losing end of all five of them. The last five battles stack up as follows:

The Rampant Lion
Chronicling Perdan's Ceaseless Struggle
for Justice on the East Island
The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke (attrib.)
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 Rampant Lion is a proud member of OCPAU, dedicated to the rapid dissemination of the finest news on the East Island.

Commentary
The News
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 Ibladeshian and Itorunt troops has largely been driven from Perdanese 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 Yssarian contingent was unable to reinforce the invaders enough to enable them to stand against the Perdanese armies. The enemy rearguard was last seen in Clermont headed for 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 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 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.

May 3, 2006 - Tzoutzoukos of Oligarch was executed by Johnny, judge of Old Rancagua.

Az Zarqua has revolted against Perdan and declared independence.

Naira has been elected the new judge of Perdan.

Jacket, noble of Old Rancagua was tortured to death by Draxius, judge of the Kalmar Islands.
