title =Bloody Battle in Oberndorf|
 
−
article =Oligarch City - The Oligarchian Army was attacked by an overwhelming force of Sirionites in Oberndorf several days ago. From what we at the Observer can determine, it seems that the Sirionite Army was able to conceal itself from Oligarch's scouts. The Army of Sirion was then able to use its concealment in order to launch a surprise attack on the Oligarch Army attempting to takeover the rogue region there.
 
  
−
However, the battle did not go as well as the inital attack. It seems that either the Sirionite Army was set up wrong, or the Oligarch Army was able to counter the attack - regardless of the Sirionite battle plan. In the opinion of this reporter, (who was the lone Marshal in the battle) there wasn't time for formal battlelines, advances and counter attacks. It was a realitivly chaotic battle and both armies paid the price for it.

Outnumbered almost two to one, the Oligarch Army was able to hold off the intital waves of Sirionite attackers. The first hours of battle where some of the deadiest to Sirion, but once it was obvious that Oligarch would put up a fight, there was no other option but to use overwhelming force. Sirion's main casualities came in the first three hours of the battle, while Oligarch's main casualities came later in the battle, after Sirion's warriors formed up into strict lines and advanced.

Oli1.JPG The Oligarchian Observer
Primary Writer/Editor: Hireshmont
Contributors:: Sakima, Count of Poitiers and Paul, Banker of Oligarch 
It is time the people of Oligarch had a chance to express their views. We have long suffered 
the words of other realms without responding, but I am happy to say that time is over. 
Now people from all over the continent will be informed of our realm's doings. 
- Lysander, Dictator of Oligarch

With these words, Lysander commissoned the first printing of 'The Oligarchian Observer'.

Currently, the Oligarchian Observer is under the management of Hireshmont Vellos. Any help would be appreciated! Got something you want to add? Don't bother asking! Add it! Just follow these guidelines:

1. Keep it short. Between 2-6 sentences
2. Keep it up-to-date. Don't post a blurb about something that happenned a week ago.
3. Keep it appropriate. Sure, make fun and all. But, well, know when to stop.
4. Don't vandalize. Vandalism is defined as posting needless articles (say, copy-pasting all messages in an arguement), or as editing someone else's contributions. Only me, the Editor, is permitted, by Oligarchian law, to do so. And, even then, I'd just delete something as vandalism.
5. Don't be anti-Oligarch or hyper-negative. Yeah, I know, I know. But, remember, Oligarch's newspaper wont be supporting our enemies! Plus, sure, sometimes bad stuff happens. But let's keep the paper light, okay?
6. Don't post unless you are an Oligarchian or ally.
