'''May 23, 2006 - '''Well, it seems that those wacky people in the [[Kalmar Islands]] are not quite as wacky as they seem. After Gnaeus stepped down yesterday, the two people running for election were Lalakis and El Cid. Yes, that's right, one of their candidates for Prime Minister was the [[The Rampant Lion/Kalmar Rebellion|ruthless tyrant that orchestrated the rebellion]], looting, and banning of the majority of the previous government and population of the Kalmar Islands. It looks like at least some of the people there are intelligent, as Lalakis won with 54% of the vote. Looks like the Avamarians have really taken over in the islands. Any bets on how long it will be before [[Old Rancagua]] invades Avamar Jr.?
 
 
 
'''May 22, 2006 - ''' Is this the end for [[Oligarch]]? Rumor has it that [[East Continent/Oligarch|Oligarch]] city itself is being taken over by [[Fontan]]. Rumors also abound that the Oligarchians are burning everything that will burn, to prevent it from falling into their enemies hands. Structures such as recruiting centers, scouts guilds, and the like, are being torn down by the Oligarchians as fast as possible. If these rumors are true, then Oligarch has given up, and they are surely doomed.

<Center>'''PERDAN DECLARES WAR ON ITORUNT!'''</Center>
 
----
 
Queen Lorraine of [[Perdan]] has officially declared war on [[Itorunt]]! In the face of ever growing hostilities between Perdan and Itorunt, this event was inevitable. In fact, Itorunt has, in effect, been at war with Perdan for many months. In most cases, half or more of the forces attacking Perdan for the past several months have been composed of Itorunt troops, with token Ibladeshian troops to initiate a battle, which the supposedly neutral Itorunt troops would join in support of their ally, Ibladesh. This cowardly tactic allows Itorunt to claim neutrality in the conflict, while actually conducting unbridled aggression against the forces of Perdan. Queen Lorraine made a short announcement following the declaration, with these words of encouragement for the nobles of Perdan: "I hope all of you will fight well and bring glory to Perdan."

'''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.
+
Speedy, Prime Minister of [[Ubent]] has disappeared! The realm of Ubent is without a leader.
  
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.
+
Zog Returns has been elected as the new ruler in [[Ubent]].
  
'''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]].

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, and most accurate, news on the East Island.
