In the most recent occurrence, their forces abandoned [[East Continent/Ar Raqqah|Ar Raqqah]] in the face of our oncoming armiesOf the 15 Ibladesh/Itorunt nobles in Ar Raqqah, 11 of them ran, abandoning their remaining compatriots. Previously, in [[East Continent/Al Aquabah|Al Aquabah]], 32 Ibladesh/Itorunt nobles ran away, abandoning 9 of their compatriots in the face of the oncoming armies.

| width="33%" valign = "top"|'''April 26, 2006 - ''' Rotating door governments in [[Old Rancagua]]? The last hour has seen not one, but ''two'' rebellions in Old Rancagua. Fuinur, the ruler prior to the last series of rebellions and counter-rebellions, declared a rebellion and overthrew the government in the span of less than an hour. But less than 20 minutes later, another rebellion was announced! How long will it take for the government of Old Rancagua to settle down and get back to the task of ruling, rather than rebelling? ''Update: The counter-rebellion has succeeded. Thalanteus has seized control, and declared the new government a monarchy.''
  
It is a time for big changes in [[Old Rancagua]]. Grig, the ruler of Old Rancagua has disappeared! Rumours abound that this is related to the recent string of rebellions in that country. The question now is who will emerge as the new ruler, and what effect will this have on the political scenario on the [[East Island]]. Will Old Rancagua continue to press the war against [[Oligarch]]? ''[OOC: Grig's player deleted the Grig character.]''
+
'''April 24, 2006 - '''The small raiding party of [[Ibladesh]]ian and [[Itorunt]] troops has largely been driven from [[Perdan]]ese lands. Their small expeditionary force was contained to the westernmost border regions. They failed to penetrate into the heartland regions of Perdan, and their looting was mostly ineffectual. The addition of a small [[Yssaria]]n contingent was unable to reinforce the invaders enough to enable them to stand against the [[Perdan]]ese armies. The enemy rearguard was last seen in [[East Continent/Clermont|Clermont]] headed for [[East Continent/Al Aquabah|Al Aquabah]].
  
''' March 29, 2006 - ''' It has come to my attention that [[Perdan]] and [[Fontan]] also had a "no executions" pact. The recent execution of Juttie by Fontan illustrates the heinous acts our enemies will perform to further their nefarious plans. Fontan, like [[Ibladesh]], has proven that they are not worthy of our trust.'''
+
'''April 21, 2006 - ''' Looks like the small group of [[Ibladesh]] and [[Itorunt]] soldiers attempting to raid the regions of [[Perdan]] hit a brick wall in [[East Continent/Beziers|Beziers]]. A brick wall named the Perdanese army. In an ill-conceived attack on Beziers, a noble from Ibladesh and two nobles from Itorunt, with a combined total on 66 soldiers, attacked over 600 battle-hardened Perdanese troops. In the short battle that ensued, Alex Exiled, editor of the [[Itorunt Informer]] was wounded.
  
''' March 27th, 2006 - ''' Some of the most despicable acts in the current war between [[Perdan]] and [[Ibladesh]], are the actions of the Judge of Ibladesh. Doomgiver, so-called Haruspex Maximus of Ibladesh, and Count of Itor Boss, has proven to be a power mad, bloodthirsty, maniac. In clear and direct violation of a no execution agreement between Perdan and Ibladesh, Doomgiver publicly executed Checky, a noble of Perdan, and attempted the execution of Jebo, another noble of Perdan. Were it not for Jebo's exceptional skills a little bit of luck, he also would have met an untimely end on the executioner's block. This act alone demonstrates the bloodthirsty and treacherous nature of the so-called nobles with which Sorcha has surrounded herself. Ibladesh has yet again proven that they cannot be trusted by honorable men.
+
'''April 17, 2006 - ''' After four straight days of looting and pillaging, the armies of [[Perdan]] and [[Ubent]] leave [[East Continent/Ibladesh|Ibladesh]]. During the occupation of the city, the city walls were reduced from a mote and bailey to a mere pallisade. The population of Ibladesh is starving, with thousands dieing from the lack of food. Several of the occupying soldiers were taken ill due to the poor conditions in the city, and rumours of plague abound.
 
 
'''March 23rd, 2006 - ''' The Kingdom of Perdan is currently involved in an ongoing war on our souther border with Ibladesh. Perdan is being aided in this struggle by our allies, [[Ubent]]. Ibladesh is being aided by their allies, Itorunt. While Perdan and [[Itorunt]] are officially neutral toward each other, the armies of Itorunt are providing extensive aide to Ibladesh. In many cases, the Itorunt forces are actually the backbone of the Ibladesh army, with but a token force from Ibladesh.
 
 
 
This is a clever strategy on the part of the Ibladeshian-Itorunt alliance. It allows the Itorunts to move around with impunity, knowing that they will not be attacked by Perdan forces, and that the Perdan forces cannot attack and loot the Itorunt regions. However, when joined by even a single group of Ibladeshian soldiers, the Itorunt armies will "come to the defense" of their Ibladeshian allies. This is the perfect way for the Itorunt troops to support their allies without having to actually commit themselves to formal war with Perdan.
 
 
 
The northern borders of Perdan are being attacked by forces from [[Fontan]]. So far, these forces have proven themselves ineffective, even when outnumbering our militia by more than 2 to 1 odds.

The Rampant Lion
Chronicling Perdan's Ceaseless Struggle
for Justice on the East Island


The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke (attrib.)
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.

The Rampant Lion is a proud member of OCPAU, dedicated to the rapid dissemination of the finest news on the East Island.
