**The forces of [[Ibladesh]] used the region of Leibo ''[Editor's Note: The region of Leibo borders the Mines of Isadril and our region of Abadan. Allowing the Ibladeshi an another avenue to our heartlands]'', belonging to the neutral nation of [[Tuchanon V]] as a staging ground to lure our forces to Abadan and away from the Mines of Isadril. With the bulk of our army in Abadan the dishonorable Ibladeshi launched a [[Caligus_Post/Issue_1/Sneak_Attack|sneak attack]] on the Mines. With the Ibladeshi army outnumbering the defendesrs of the mines by 3-1 and a valiant but ultimately futile defense, their numbers proved to much for our forces in the Mines. We were driven in defeat from the palisades but our surviving forces rallied in the countryside and awaited our reinforcements.<br> | |||
**Infuriated by this cowardly tactic of using a neutral region as a staging ground for their attack our armies marched to the Mines to drive out the Ibladeshi invaders. With the arrival of reinforcements we launched our [[Caligus_Post/Issue_1/Counter_Attack|counter attack]]. Despite our determination and skill at armies we were sorely outnumbered by the enemy and driven from the field of battle. ''[Editor's Note: My few surviving men had to carry me from the field of battle as I was sorely wounded and was unable to witness the heroic actions of Baron Baceolous].'' With our counter attack repulsed, our forces prepared to launch a tactical withdrawal to Abadan.<br> | |||

December in Review | |
Published December 29, 1008 [Editor's Note: After December we will try to have weekly updates] Caligus sure experienced a busy month. First with the successful conclusion of our war with Fontan. Then after a brief period of peace we formally declared war on Ibladesh to aid our beleagured allies Itorunt.Important Dates
Greetings Rulers, As many of you have likely figured out on your own already, Caligus will be declaring war on Ibladesh. My main reason is this (I have just copied the one section which Ibladesh didnt hold up to at all and never intended to) "Serendipity Treaty" 3. Itorunt will receive Zawr, Az Zarqua and Dayr as soon as the treaty is signed. If your going to counter about Itorunt being hostile in the time. Both of you did things to each other but you were honorbound to hold this end of the bargain and hand over these three regions to Itorunt and they were supposed to be handed over immediately. The reason that Itorunt did the actual declaration is irrelevant (I figure Ibladesh was just afraid to actual do the declaration thats the only difference) The treaty was not held from your end and it was never going to be. I can mention other reasons for going in like supporting our allies and so on but this reason is more then enough. Caligus will however not engage Tuchanon at this time and i dont expect to. An attack will not come before an official war declaration Signed,
Doombringer Deathkiller King of Caligus
Although our name Sanctus Acies (Holy Battlefield or Battlefield of the Holy) has hints of a glorious death in battle but we do not worship death to come among us. In fact only to fight for life can we feel free in knowing that we the battles fought is right and just. Let us remember that Lord Ookee fell in battle the way to the halls will be cleared and there he can sit with those from the past, a good fire, good ale and good tales. The body is now an empty shell, now we will take our brother to the Hall when the shell set to rest. His Path has lead him home, May your own Paths guide you to long life
