'''Update:''' Lady Althea of Avamar Selective has now bought the title of Juazeiro away from Old Rancagua. It is believed that assassins from Avamar Selective are attacking the regional lords of Old Rancagua in order to clear the titles so the region lordships can be bought. This string of region losses will surely be extremely damaging to Old Rancagua.}} | |||

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.) |
