article =Victory in [[East Continent/Meuse|Meuse]]! In a sign of things to come, the brave troops of [[Perdan]] rallied to defend Meuse from the [[Fontan]]ese invaders. The 760 invaders charged into the 580 defenders, opening up with a furious volley of arrows. The Perdanese troops charged through the arrows, tearing into the defending infantry. The viciousness of the defenders caught the attackers by surprise, and many of their infantry units retreated. Once the Fontan infantry was out of the way, their archer battalions quickly succumbed to a second Perdan cavalry charge. It looks as if the Fontan army isn't quite up to the task of defeating Perdan without the help of three other realms to provide additional troops and diversionary attacks.}} | |||

| | article =In a brutal act of imperialism and expansionism, [[Fontan]] has siezed control of the peaceful agricultural region of [[East Continent/Bescanon|Bescanon]] from [[Perdan]]. Aided by their allies from [[Sirion]], the Fontan army has been stationed in Bescanon for nearly a week, looting the villages and killing anyone they can find who showed any sign of loyalty to Perdan. Although they fought with valiant spirit, the citizens of Bescanon could hold out no longer, and yielded to the invading army.}} | ||

In a massive attack on [[East Continent/Bescanon|Bescanon]], the armies of [[Sirion]] and [[Fontan]] have begun an invasion of [[Perdan]]! The enemy forces numbered nearly 2,500 troops, greatly outnumbering the 1,200 defending guardsmen and militia. Fontanese troops immediately began a brutal takeover of Bescanon.}} | |||

article =In a surprisingly well-thought-out plan, the armies of [[Itorunt]] and [[Ibladesh]] have executed a pincer attack on the [[Perdan]]ese takeover force in Al Arab. The attack resulted in heavy losses for the Perdanese forces in Al Arab. The defending forces took twice as many casualties as the attackers. | |||

In other news, Prometheus has returned to the [[Kalmar Islands]]. It appears that the Kalmarians may be buckling under pressure from [[Old Rancagua]] to reinstate Prometheus as king in order to avoid a war. The Kalmarians must be well aware that they could not stand up to Old Rancagua in a full out war. How far will they go to preserve their democracy? How many nobles in the islands really want the current government, and how many would prefer a return to their lawful monarchy? It's hard to tell. It seems that in their public vote on the matter, less than one third of the nobles bothered to cast their votes. What good is a democracy if nearly three-fourths of the voters can't be bothered to cast votes?}} | |||

Revision as of 19:42, 27 June 2006
| |
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. | for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke (attrib.) |
