Editor's note: While other papers may employ sorcery and witchcraft to instantaneous transport their news across the continent, the Falasan Inquirer refuses to stoop to such a level and contents itself with simple carts and wagons. As such, do not be surprised if you encounter new articles that are released at an older date than is current.
General Admits Failure | |
March 6th, 2007
A combined Falasan/Ashlantean force attempted to reclaim Belegmon yesterday, with disastrous results. In a public address to the realm, High Marshal Yavuz reported on the events which led to the defeat. Taking responsibility for the points which caused that loss, in particular, his perceived inability to inspire enough Falasani troop leaders to follow orders, he tendered his resignation and apologized for the casualties suffered by those knights who did follow his orders. Soon afterwards, a outsurge of support was raised by many nobles to encourage Lord Yavuz to remain at his post. In the words of Edwardo, a Falasani noble:
Perhaps Lord Yavuz will experience a change of heart. In the meanwhile, nobles in Barad Falas stand ready to repel any assaulting force. |
Duke of Tucha Appointed | |
March 8th
The recipient of the duchy of Tucha, gifted to Falasan by the Ash Sea Islands, was proclaimed by heralds sent throughout the realm to be Tank, formerly king and High Marshal of Falasan. |
Redspan Invades the Ash Sea Islands | |
March 5th, 2007
Nobles throughout Falasan were surprised today as news reached them of Redspan's sudden declaration of war on the Ash Sea Islands. We at the Falasan Inquirer lived up to its name, as inquiries were sent to the realms involved as to the events which led up to the present situation. Redspan affirms that it has gone to war in order to prevent any more of its priests from being harmed by followers of Magna Serpaensism, who have been declared followers of "the Rosegarden Guy". To achieve this goal, Redspan has determined to drive out all followers of Magna Serpaensism from Redspaniard lands and to claim the region of Rogeshore as a buffer zone. In the words of King Tony of Redspan:
The Ash Sea Islands have proclaimed their outrage over the manner in which Redspan attacked, invading Ashlantean lands before formally declaring war. |
Miscommunications Results in Treaty Modifications | |
March 6th, 2007
Taran authorities explained the presence of Taran troops attacking Galadia, in violation of the cease-fire treaty signed some time ago, as a mistake. Apparently, the situation occurred when Eston's High Marshal ordered an attack into Galadia. Although Tara's own general attempted to rescind those orders as soon as he was informed of them, several nobles had already travelled to far for the messengers to reach them in time. As a result of this near-breach in the treaty, Taran troops have been withdraw from Eston, and Tara has agreed to an additional delay of one week in the transfer of Chagasu. |
Worship or Die! | |
March 5th, 2007
Redspan's declaration of war on the Ash Sea Islands seems as senseless as it is childish. Redspan claims to be attacking in retaliation for the sufferances of the priests of Da Goat...which occurred on Redspaniard lands, at the hands of their very peasants! That the nobles of Redspan would not let the priests of Da One be treated so is laudable, especially when those priests were humiliated by simple peasants...but the target of their outrage is entirely questionable. Why blame the Ash Sea Islands, and by extension Magna Serpaensism, when the true perpetrators are found on their own lands? What pride, to accuse all others before oneself. There is little to support the idea that priests of the serpent were behind those commoner uprisings, and many rumours circulate as to the attempts to forcibly convert commoners to Da Way. The very suddenness of this outbreak of war appears dishonourable. King Malice of the Ash Sea Islands asserts that there had been no prior discussion as to Redspan's dissatisfaction with the extent of the penetration of Magnus Serpaensism into Redspan:
Following up with Redspan's sudden attack without even formally proclaiming itself in a state of war with Redspan, this coincidence of events becomes very suspicious indeed. Furthermore, Redspan has stated that it will be unwilling to end the war until all religions other than those which follow Da Way have been driven out of Redspan, and it has taken Rogeshore as a buffer zone. Redspan begins to seem less and less of an idyllic realm of goatdom, and more a realm of enforced hairiness.

Eston Sent Fleeing! | |
March 2th, 2007
Eston attacked Menedor earlier today, and were repulsed with heavy casualties to their side. One wonders at their supreme overconfidence in sending such a smaller force heavy with cavalry units. Estonite hopes to overawe the defenders with horsed popinjays fell into ruins as their steeds cantered back and forth alongside the walls of Menedor, as well as the lives of their men. Although Menedor's defenders were but scratched, Reilwin was unable to comment on these events as he accidently leaped into an arrow during the fighting and is currently in the care of the healers.
