Stargard Evacuated!!! | |
July 8th, 2007
The Army of Tara abandoned their positions today as the mighty Army of Abington marched closer to the city. Despair and disappointment could be seen on everyone's faces as peasants of the city beg for their protection. Alas, it was not to be! Facing 2-1 odds, General Lister ordered them to fall back to Meldeen and await developments. The cries and wails of the bereaved civilians could be heard a mile away from the city. Heaven knows what future awaits them in Redspan's bosom. Some Taran Nobles could not standby, however. Led by Urpo, Duke of Foda, these brave souls led a frenetic defense for the people of Stargard. Outnumbered three to one, they were cut down like wheat in a field. Let all know that these few held our hearts and fell protecting the defenseless. Written by Jose dela Cruz |
Tara fights on for all non-goat lovers! | |
July 7th, 2007
In Stargard the Grand Taran Army of Foda has continued to support hostilities against the religion of Da Way, who is still stirring up resent towards Tara. The Order prays for freedom from Da Great Goat for all those who accept The Order and who follow in its footsteps, as well as those who have not yet found their true calling. Tara and those here at the Tara times thank the dedication of The Order priests who are helping ease the transfer from Redspan to Tara rule. Written by Oscar |
Carelia defeated in Upperfell!!! | |
July 7th, 2007
The Army of Abington with Redspan support attacked the Carelian TO of Upperfell today using 2-1 odds. With Upperfell secure, there is little doubt that the Southern Alliance will come to Stargard next. We expect battle to be met at sunrise... Written by Jose dela Cruz |
ASI hands Rogeshore to Redspan | |
July 7th, 2007
Honoring their treaty, ASI gave Rogeshore to Redspan today. There is a great shock among political observers as the treaty was forced upon ASI during Redspan's hollow war threat a few months ago. Many believed that ASI would stall or delay now as Redspan fights for her existence. The Tara Times honors ASI for her honor and dignity. Written by Jose dela Cruz |

Shamus, King of Redspan speaks... | |
July 6th, 2007
My contacts in the Stargard Underground has recently allowed me access to an unprecedented opportunity... an interview with the Hidden King of Redspan!!! After being blindfolded and brought to an unknown location deep in the bowels of the city, here is my pulitzer-winning interview:
Shamus: Some things are worth taking a risk for. Jose: You were elected, I believe, soon after Stargard fell. May I ask how you won enough support to beat Tony? Shamus: He stepped down voluntarily and didn't run. It was pretty easy to beat an ineligible candidate. Jose: Redspan recently had an Alliance with Tara and a Federation with Carelia. Where did it all go wrong? Shamus: I'm still trying to figure that out. Both leaders refuse to say. Jose: I seemed to remember Redspan was scheduled to obtain Rogeshore from ASI. Is that agreement still being honored? Shamus: This is between ASI & RedSpan. Jose: You're people fought valiantly against incredible odds. Will you now make Sullenport your capital or retake Stargard once more? Shamus: No decisions are ready to be made public at this time. Jose: Considering Darka is still at war with your realm, do you think the mercenaries were afraid of facing you? Shamus: No. They are being paid to fight in the north, and get no pay from attacking us. Mercenaries always choose gold over anything else. Jose: How do you feel about Abington's loyalty? Shamus: I have never had reason to doubt it. Jose: The only realm known to survive such bad odds as this was Abington. Will you rely on their strategy to see this through? Shamus: RedSpan has survived worse odds than this twice before. I will rely on Abington for strength and friendship. Jose: What gives you strength? Shamus: Faith in Da One and Sullenport Stout. Jose: On a personal note, do you know where Benny is? Reporters tend to stick together. Shamus: No clue, sorry.

Stargard Resistance Continues... | |
July 4th, 2007
You have to admire the modern indoctrination techniques used by Redspan. Despite the obviously unnatural religion of Da Way, the peasants of the capital still believe in it. The Liberation of this city has once again failed as numerous Redspan Priests counter Tara's efforts to bring civilization to our neighbor. Difficulty is even being encountered in nearby Meldeen where attempts at introducing hygene and bathing have met with surprising resistance. Still, we will not be Tarans if we were not persistent. The light WILL shine upon these poor souls. Written by Jose dela Cruz |
Stargard Liberation Fails!!! | |
July 2nd, 2007
The annexation of Stargard failed today as the citizens of the city overthrew their Taran saviors. This marks the second time such ingratitude has taken place. Despite the compassion and understanding shown by many of our noble troops, it would appear the goat preference in the general population is more prevalent than previously believed. Calls for harsher methods of treatment are being heard throughout the realm as realization of the insidious nature of Da Goat spread. This reporter, himself, has witnessed personally the nightmare of being under the influence of Undead and Monsters. We must free Redspan's people from a fate unimaginable!!!

Tara Times Reporter Captured!!! | |
July 2nd, 2007
It my sad duty to relate to you all of an unfortunate experience I had recently. While rushing into battle at Jagla against Undead, I was overwhelmed by thier superior numbers and captured. After six days of undescribable hell, I finally escaped back to civilization. I apologize to the good people of Jagla for not having enough soldiers to crush the menace. I will try my best next time.
