+ | |article=Perdan Queen has decided to hold a tournament. The amount of nobles arriving at the grounds was rather small likely due to the many wars being waged. | ||

+ | Rulers of the East Island, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Perdan would like to welcome all nobles of the island to come feast with us, and demonstrate their prowess of arms in the great city of Perdan. We therefore announce the holding of a grand tournament, open to all. Come show us your skill with the sword, or perhaps the lance. The winners will be greatly rewarded for their diligence at arms, nor will the runners-up be forgotten. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The event will be held at the new tournament grounds in Perdan city, in seven days. I trust this will be enough time for even the most distant of nobles to arrive in plenty of time to celebrate before the final contests at arms are held. | ||

+ | |headline=Doicese of Aix elects worst Caligan Traitor in History! | ||
+ | |article=<p class="MsoNormal">Yesterday the Diocese of Aix elected Richard Telrunya, | ||
+ | Archbishop and Treasurer of Diocese of Aix, Ambassador of Diocese of Aix. | ||
+ | This man is a man previously known as Arfeniel the biggest traitor in the | ||
+ | history of Caligus who singled handed almost destroyed Caligus completely.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | A short decription is given here by a one of Caligus most respected members in | ||
+ | history Cartor Curs | ||

+ | |||
+ | <p class="MsoNormal"><b>Detailed Storyline up to Richard’s (Arfeniel’s) betrayal.</b></p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p class="MsoNormal">Caligus was in a long war struggling war against Yssaria | ||
+ | which went back and forth for years.<span style=""> </span>Yssaria | ||
+ | always the more wealthy boasting better regions and an extra city.<span style=""> </span>Gwynyth had been ruling Caligus for quite | ||
+ | some time and many nobles including current King Dobromir and Duke Cuthbert | ||
+ | were some of her most loyal followers.<span style=""> | ||
+ | </span>The struggled continued on with Yssaria gaining ground and Caligus | ||
+ | claiming it back until Itorunt appeared.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p class="MsoNormal">Itorunt was a rich realm more powerful then Yssaria was and | ||
+ | with the added strength Caligus was field 2 ½ times less the army of its | ||
+ | enemies.<span style=""> </span>Caligus steadily grew smaller | ||
+ | and smaller and seeked terms for surrender.<span style=""> | ||
+ | </span>Queen Gwynyth attempted to negotiate with Eleran, King of Ysarria at the | ||
+ | time for peace.<span style=""> </span>At the time King Eleran | ||
+ | said there would be no peace and a noble of Caligus decided to have talks with | ||
+ | King Eleran himself.<span style=""> </span>His name was | ||
+ | Vlad.<span style=""> </span>Vlad came back to Caligus that if | ||
+ | Gwynyth stepped down Yssaria would make peace with Caligus and thus he gained | ||
+ | support of many and Gwynyth decided to step down.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p class="MsoNormal">Vlad immediately changed things in Caligus appointing a new | ||
+ | High Marshal and inducted his “right-hand-man” Richard (Arfeiniel) as banker of | ||
+ | Caligus.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p class="MsoNormal">Shortly after current King Dobromir re-appeared in Caligus | ||
+ | after 3 months absence.<span style=""> </span>He found a new | ||
+ | King and heard of the promises.<span style=""> </span>Vlad | ||
+ | them came with news that Caligus would have to give up their capital and only | ||
+ | city Domus to achieve peace.<span style=""> </span>With no | ||
+ | other talks and this doom setting Caligus previous leadership including | ||
+ | Gwynyth, Cuthbert and Dobromir and quite a few others held talk regarding Vlad’s | ||
+ | rise to power through false promises and were considering taking action.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p class="MsoNormal">Soon after Vlad announced he was going away and wanted to | ||
+ | leave Caligus in the hands of Richard (Arfeiniel) so the previous rulership | ||
+ | decided to back Dobromir as King with Richard running also with Vlad’s | ||
+ | blessings to the realm.<span style=""> </span>The voting ended | ||
+ | quite close with Dobromir receiving ~10% more votes.<span style=""> </span>Richard then decided to mock King Dobromir | ||
+ | every chance possible and also not reveal any diplomatic information he claimed | ||
+ | that Vlad had personally given to him. </p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p class="MsoNormal">After various insults the council wanted him stripped but | ||
+ | King Dobromir asked he be left there and just be warned.<span style=""> </span>So Richard was still left on the | ||
+ | council.<span style=""> </span>He had been banker the whole | ||
+ | time from the beginning of Vlad’s rulership till now.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p class="MsoNormal">Shortly after Richard decided to completely sabotage Caligus | ||
+ | which was a 4 or 5 region realm (Domus, Scio, Nascot, Winkamus and Aestus) at | ||
+ | the time.<span style=""> </span>He gathered all the food in | ||
+ | one place, sold it to enemies leaving every region starving 1-2 (Winkamus and | ||
+ | Aestus) thus turning rogue and also took with him a huge lump of money the | ||
+ | amount is not exactly known.<span style=""> </span>Caligus was | ||
+ | left in a horrendous state fighting near impossible odds and a death sentence.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p class="MsoNormal">Basically after this it is a miracle Caligus lived through | ||
+ | it but me as a writer will be damned if Richard is left on a throne of a | ||
+ | neighboring region.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | <p class="MsoNormal">We hope our government does what is right and cleanses the | ||
+ | world from Richard Telrunya, Archbishop and Treasurer of Diocese of Aix, | ||
+ | Ambassador of Diocese of Aix the most wretched person to step foot in | ||
+ | Caligus.}}</p> | ||

+ | |headline=Westmoor war update | ||
+ | |article=The attack 5 days ago on Troyes was the start of Caligus first major attack on Westmoor soil. Caligus troops amassed in large amounts angered by repeated attacks from Westmoor infiltrators and attempted raids by eager nights. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | On the eve of the first battle Westmoor tried to hold their ground to no avail. Less reinforcements arrived then expected while nearly Caligus's full army marched into Troyes. The odds were the following | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Total: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 31 Caligus attackers (761 Inf, 75 MI, 228 Arch, 219 Cav, 160 SF) | ||
+ | |||
+ | 23 Westmoor defenders (531 Inf, 129 Arch, 35 Cav, 25 SF) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Total combat strengths: 17779 vs. 9460 | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Outnumbered Westmoor was slaughtered on the field only managing to damage 3K Caligus forces while losing their whole army. Very little fled for their life and many were wounded. The remenants of the army retreated back to Westmoor city. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Over the next few days there were a few small skirmishes in Poitiers the first assault being just the King and his brother special forces against 3 Westmoor nobles including judge Gregor. Westmoor was again mopped up quickly this time due to superior men. A few days later Westmoor launched an attack on Poitiers with some Caligus forces failing to retreat they got picked off. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | With new inspired cofidence <s>yeah right</s> Westmoor amassed once more and launched an attack to hopefully push back Caligus forces from Troyes. The battle arrived and the following appeared | ||
+ | |||
+ | Total: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 14 attackers (261 Inf, 192 Arch, 425 other) | ||
+ | |||
+ | 30 defenders (656 Inf, 45 MI, 153 Arch, 101 Cav, 87 SF) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Total combat strengths: 6287 vs. 13032 | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Military commanders in Caligus were convinced that Westmoor were not moving due to barely over 50% of Westmoor forces in range actually moving. It was a very pathetic defence of their homeland. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Troyes continues to be under assault and the local populace has spreading rumors of rebellion due to growing concerns of Westmoor inadequacy to protect them. Scouts have it Westmoor forces are once again growing and a last ditch assault to save Troyes is expected. Whether they will be able to or not shall soon be told on its own. }} | ||

+ | |headline=New Ruler same Westmoor | ||
+ | |article=Considering the vast amount of new faces leading as of late the odds are a decent one should be elected eventually. King Jor Tanos was recently elected as ruler and the sad truth is he is completely oblivious to Westmoor politics. It seems every ruler that is elected decided to do their own thing and simply not inform anyone about it. Merely a couple of days after getting elected Jor Tanos is already guilty of that act. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | It seems before the election good King Dobromir <s> the sneaky bastard</s> and former Queen Micna were deciding to have some talks and it seems the treaty below was discussed. Now it is known that the treaty found its way to Westmoor and Micna made the following statement in Westmoor itself. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p class="MsoNormal"><i style="">Letter from Micna | ||
+ | Kiri-Jolith<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | For the realm's pleasure. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I have been in communication with King Dobromir for quite a while now. Mostly | ||
+ | banter and communication in order to better understand each other, and to | ||
+ | resolve our differences. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | He has been kind enough to pass this on to me. So Westmoor as a whole might | ||
+ | know, and more specifically so I might know. <br> | ||
+ | <b style=""><br> | ||
+ | </b>But first, allow us to review some statements our new King has made. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | <b style="">I cannot promise Royal Council positions | ||
+ | to anyone, former monarch or otherwise. I will not seek the Council's change as | ||
+ | so far they have proven a relatively effecive body. Former monarchs will, | ||
+ | however, always have my ear. I will always take their words into consideration | ||
+ | as advisers. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Not to mention that it would be as if we had no honor. We are not Westmoor if | ||
+ | we sell out our integrity! <br> | ||
+ | </b><br> | ||
+ | And my Personal Favorite. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | <b style="">Westmoor is fortunate that many of its | ||
+ | number were amongst the Kingdom's founders. They deserve our greatest respect | ||
+ | and thanks.</b> <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | And now my friends, bear all of that in mind, whilst I share this revelation | ||
+ | with you. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | I hold in my hand, and am sending to all of you... A copy of the peace treaty | ||
+ | that our King sent to Caligus, a day BEFORE he was elected. <b style=""><br> | ||
+ | </b><br> | ||
+ | <b style="">Report from Dobromir Menethil <br> | ||
+ | Greetings Micna, <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Just since we were talking new ruler decided to offer me this before he was | ||
+ | elected. Obviously it wont be accepted. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | To ensure peace, economic prosperity, and honor across the Continent, the | ||
+ | Kingdom of Westmoor and the Kingdom of Caligus hereby sign a treaty of | ||
+ | perpetual peace. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | The Kingdom of Caligus does swear on its honor to withdraw their troops and | ||
+ | infiltrators while respecting the borders of the Kingdom of Westmoor as a | ||
+ | fellow sovereign nation. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | The Kingdom of Westmoor does swear on its honor to withdraw their troops and | ||
+ | infiltrators while respecting the borders of the Kingdom of Caligus. In | ||
+ | addition the former Queen of Westmoor, Micna of the House of Kiri-Jolith, is | ||
+ | hereby prohibited from holding lordship over any of the Kingdom of Westmoor's | ||
+ | crown territories or serve as a member of its Royal Council so as to appease | ||
+ | the Kingdom of Caligus while not threatening to upset the territorial or | ||
+ | bureaucratic integrity of the Kingdom of Westmoor. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Dobromir Menethil <br> | ||
+ | King of Caligus</b> <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Of course, this is a direct attack against me. And I have expected as much for | ||
+ | quite some time. Yet, does it not seem curious that the Good King neglected to | ||
+ | inform us of the details of the treaty? Especially when it pertained so | ||
+ | directly? <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Yes, I understand, a great number of you likely agree with the stipulation. And | ||
+ | be that as it may, perhaps I should have been informed that I would have my | ||
+ | future effectively ended in Westmoor? <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | But wait... I ask you recall the statements above, and recall that this treaty | ||
+ | was sent BEFORE his election. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | So his comment on previous monarchs having his ear? A Lie. <br> | ||
+ | His comment that the founders deserved respect and thanks? A Lie. <br> | ||
+ | His Integrity? A Lie. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | No, I am not rebelling. No, I am not publically protesting, as we've all seen | ||
+ | the results of THAT. I am merely letting the Realm as a whole know the actions | ||
+ | it's ruler has taken behind their collective backs. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | And the consideration this ruler gives to his subjects. I may be the one he | ||
+ | attempts to barter today. And again, as the day's scapegoat, I expected that. | ||
+ | But mark this well, as Good King Jor has shown his integrity and honor, and | ||
+ | tomorrow may be your day. Be Prepared. <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Aequitas Veritas, <br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | Lady Micna Kiri-Jolith (Dame of Troyes)</i></p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | To say the least King Jor's reign in Westmoor has got off to a rocky start. Hopefully for Westmoor he will improve <s> highly unlikely</s> }} | ||
