+ | The [[The Kalmarian Chronicles/Edition:10|Kalmarian Chronicles]], the newspaper of the Kalmar Islands, reported the possibility of this secession nearly three weeks ago. The reasons for the secession are strange, to say the least. The Avamarians have already gotten their realm when they overthrew the previous monarchy of the Kalmar Islands. Now they have split the realm in two. How they expect the tiny new realm to survive is unclear. Avamar Selective is a realm of three regions, and barely more than 5000 citizens. Will this infant realm even be able to defend themselves from monsters? What will they do when the [[Old Rancagua]]ns invade, as they are sure to do. Given the recent string of military failures by Old Rancagua, though, that may not be much of a concern.}} | ||

What was not expected, however, was the crushing defeat of the Old Rancaguan army. It seems that the Old Rancaguan army was having problems coordinating the movement of their forces, resulting in the attackers arriving in piecemeal, instead of in a massed attack. The first wave of Old Rancaguan attackers was met with more than twice their number in defenders. |
With the initial wave of attackers rapidly vanquished, the defending Kalmarians sent even more defenders to the shores of [[East Continent/Stora|Stora]]. It is not yet clear why the Old Rancaguans continued on with the attack in a second wave. They were clearly outnumbered, and had no hope of victory. The second wave mustered only slightly more attackers than the first, but the defenders summoned even more reinforcements. The second wave was also outnumbered, and the Old Rancaguans received a second bitter defeat. | With the initial wave of attackers rapidly vanquished, the defending Kalmarians sent even more defenders to the shores of [[East Continent/Stora|Stora]].

He was a gentle, quiet, but generous man, and all he wanted to do was show his families fighting blood to all realms. |
But, that isn't the only loss we mourn, for two more knights have died. Gloin, and Pete of the. They were both fantastic nobles of Perdan with undying loyalty to the realm. They will be sorely missed. Fingers have already been pointed at Nobles who did not move. Of course this is a reason for Rattlers, Gloin and Pete of the's terrible losses. But one shouldn't be so quick to pick out his friend, instead he should look out with hate at the enemy. We killed two [[Fontan]]ese heroes, and they take three. How many more lives will be taken before this war ends? | But, that isn't the only loss we mourn, for two more knights have died. Gloin, and Pete of the.

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.) |
