This is not the first time that Caligus and Light of Fountain have argued over the ownership of regions along their borders. These two realms have a long history of disagreements in this area. Caligus routinely claims that Light of Fountain was being opportunistic, and picking off border regions one by one, while Caligus' attention was occupied by their war with [[Yssaria]]. Light of Fountain, on the other hand, claims that Caligus is reneging on a deal between the two realms where Caligus would transfer the regions in exchange for gold. Where the truth lies, no one knows. However, it is widely reputed that Caligus sold the stronghold of [[East Continent/Akesh Temple|Akesh Temple]] under the threat of war from Light of Fountain, at a time when Caligus was hard pressed by Yssaria. This amounts to little more than bully tactics on the part of Light of Fountain. | This is not the first time that Caligus and Light of Fountain have argued over the ownership of regions along their borders.

It has become common knowledge that Light of Fountain desires a new city to call their capital. In fact, there is an agreement between Light of Fountain and [[Fontan]] where Fontan will help Light of Fountain to find a new city. When that happens, Light of Fountain will return [[East Continent/Fontan|Fontan city]] to Fontan, from whom they seceded the city many months ago. Since then, Light of Fountain has been attempting to manufacture reasons to attack both Caligus and Perdan in hopes of capturing either Partora or Perdan city itself. Is this recent claims dispute nothing more than another attempt by Light of Fountain to manufacture a new war in order to grab more territory? Or is this merely an indication that Fontan and Light of Fountain are merely two heads of the same hydra, bent on domination of the island for their own mysterious purposes?}} | It has become common knowledge that Light of Fountain desires a new city to call their capital.

If Light of Fountain were really the peaceful realm they claim to be, then would they not seek some peaceful resolution to their differences, rather than looking for ways to legitimize their desire for conquest? A much more desirable approach would perhaps be to offer Caligus something in return for the lifting of the claims, such as a one-time gold payment. Well, as it turns out, our sources tell us '''that is exactly what happened!''' Light of Fountain has offered to '''pay''' Caligus to remove the claims, but Caligus has '''refused'''! We're not sure what game Caligus is playing here. They have no more use for the claims, as it is not likely that Caligus will ever be able to regain control of those regions. Is this merely stubbornness on the part of the Caligans, or do they want more gold that Light of Fountain offered?}} | |||

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.) |
