After losing to the Perdanese reinforcements in [[Greatbridge]] our armies refitted in Oligarch, and attacked the Perdanese garrison again. Parts of their army fled, and we only managed to catch 4k CS while another 3k CS retreated to [[Hagley]], and 6k CS attacked [[Krimml]]. We attacked to relieve Krimml, but once again only caught straggler matching about one third of their force. We laid chase to the rest. On the southern front, the Lions, even though they were out-numbered, won a resounding victory against [[Caligus]] and the [[Confederacy of Fontan]] after which the TO of [[An Najaf]] succeeded. Lord Armstrong, who had won the referendum for it's lordship, is currently imprisoned. Lord Duncan was appointed in his stead as steward.}} | ||

In the south we retook [[Viseu]], defeated Caligus, and are currently retaking [[An Najaf]]. In the west we have retaken Bruck, lost and retook Dulbin, and defeated Perdan in Greatbridge in a close battle though their reinforcements a day later took the field. In the north, the Sultanate of Asena and the Dark Angels army have held Sirion and OR back. The north has been locked into somewhat of a stalemate. | ||
Also of note is that after we took Bruck Perdanese armies managed to move back in and it revolted to the SoA. The diplomatics of what will happen with it are uncertain, though Sultan Korkut has proposed that the SoA keeps it for the rest of the war, since they practice neutrality in our war with Perdan. They say that it will keep the people of Bruck from more suffering since they have been put through much already. }} | Also of note is that after we took Bruck Perdanese armies managed to move back in and it revolted to the SoA.

Upon the retaking of [[Bruck]] Lord Rory was unavailable. He was to be reinstated as is our law. At the time he was with his army in [[Viseu]], a few days travel away from Bruck, and also injured. Lady Leane was appointed a temporary steward of the region. When Lord Rory healed enough to read messages he was outraged. A heated discussion was started and charges were eventually filed against the chancellor. Supreme Justice Moria conducted a trial even in the midst of much protest and decided in favor of Lord Rory. Again there was much protest. All this was rendered a moot point as Lord Rory decided he had had enough of Fontan and would be leaving.}} | ||

Following the Krimml Incident, Lord The Revenger was elected Chancellor. When he was imprisoned a week later I was elected to the seat. At this point; Perdan had taken [[Westmoor]] and most of it's duchy, Caligus had taken [[Akesh Temple]] and either already had, or was in the process of taking [[Sordidus]] and [[Tokat]], the Confederacy had taken [[An Najaf]] which got traded back and forth for awhile, and Sirion had sent [[Ashforth]] rogue. We managed to stop them there for awhile, with a few regions going back and forth. | ||

After a few day Lord Revenger was once again imprisoned and I was once again elected to take his place. The stale mate in the war kept up, but we managed to retake Ashforth and Duke Elberan along with a team of bureaucrats did a fine job rebuilding the city. Near the end of the month our enemies made a surge, Perdan taking Bruck, CoF taking Viseu, and Perdan making their way into Krimml to loot it some. Though thanks to Lord Andrew, we gained Akesh Temple briefly. I was wounded, and Lord Mikhail took my place as Chancellor. He was voted in un-opposed a day or so later when the regular elections took place. Lady Moria was also voted into place as Supreme Justice. | ||

First, Duchess Jai was killed as a hero in battle in [[Negev]] I believe (someone please correct me if I am wrong. Then Lord Lorrie Furrion was killed in a duel of honor to the death with Cartor the Arch Priest of Caligus. Last but certainly not least, we lost Duchess Amelia when she was killed as a hero in battle in [[Hagley]]. | ||

Duke Niles was granted his position of Duke of [[Karbala]] when Lord Revenger vacated it by being elected Chancellor. Duke Elberan was re-appointed to his position as Duke of Ashforth when we brought it back under our control. Lord Andrew briefly held the title of Duke of Akesh Temple, when he lead an uprising of Flow and Balance followers to take its control away from Caligus. It was quickly re-TOed, unfortunately. Lastly Duke Richard was voted into his position as Duke of [[Krimml]] after the death of Duchess Amelia. | ||
Also of note is the creation of two new armies. The Fontan Rangers was originally created by Lord Lorrie Furion, then recreated by Lord Richard. Also the Flow Administrators was created by Duke Elberan as an army of bureaucrats. | Also of note is the creation of two new armies.

article = It seems the peace between [[Ibladesh]] and [[Itorunt]] is wearing thin. For those who don't remember, these once great allies broke apart the Southern Alliance and went to war with each other. [[Perdan]] supported Itorunt and Ibladesh allied with the recently formed [[Tuchanon V]]. The war ended badly for our now ally, Ibladesh, and a peace was signed. Itorunt continued their fight with Tuchanon V, which is still going on as we speak. | |||
Things are heating up again now. From what we gather, the duke of [[Al Arab]] became ill. A new duke was appointed and the lord of [[Oc Lu Pesh]] disliked the appointment and brought his region to Itorunt. A bit of a flare-up ensued between armies from both realms in the said region. Currently, heated exchanges are going back and forth between the two sides with Itorunt claiming Ibladesh has not upheld their parts of the treaty where it pertains to handing over regions. It also seems that Itorunt was upset by the fact that Ibladesh had merchants in the region of [[Leibo]] (an Ibladesh controlled region), due to the fact that it borders the Tuchanon V capital and their last remaining region of [[Isadril]]. Itorunt thought Ibladesh was helping feed the city, while Ibladesh claims the merchants we bringing in food to feed their own capital city of [[Ibladesh]]. | |||
Also of note is that Itorunt has lowered relations with Ibladesh to neutral. Lastly, it is unclear that if war broke out whether Perdan will join in the fighting as was the case in the previous war.}} | |||
