| Return of Ex-general Arak Thorston
|
| Today despite the earlier complaints is a bright day for Caligus that marks the return of ex-High Marshal Arak. He served as general at the beginning of the first war between Caligus and Perdan and disappeared somewhere in the middle of it for unknown reasons.
We are glad to have him back and already various nobles from Caligus have greeted him. We hope this will mark an improvement in the recent lazyness laid-backness of the miitary.

| King Dobromir complains vocally!
|
Ever since the end of the war with Perdan nobles from Caligus have been deciding to take things easier. This obviously brings about words from the king who never accepts any sort of military slack he can be an old grouch sometimes. We asked the King to give us a brief comment on the situation but he refused to leave any offical comment for the newspaper something about "Words to my nobles dont belong in public" whatever that means.
Anyways the situation addressed was being that 50% of the nobles were not rallied in the rally point issued for 2-3 days in a row. So far the Westmoor/Caligus was hasnt seen much action. We hope this is a sign it will increase very soon.

| More infiltrator trouble!
|
| Raag LongHi an infiltrator from Westmoor is quickly putting himself deep into Caligus blacklist. In a span of a day he stabbed Lord Bjorn and High Marshal Lana. On the bright side he was captured shortly after stabbing our High Marshal with the guards encircling him successfully and stopping him from escaping. Such attempts on the lives of our brave honorable nobles will not be tolerated. We hope to see a high price paid for deeds horrendous actions!
Because of this Caligus is now looking for a new High Marshal!

| Troublesome Infiltrator Banned from Ibladesh
|
| Obviously a member of Ibladesh named Will Treaty was either unaware of the war being over or he decided to ignore it. Over the past couple of days he stabbed a lord of Perdan then robbed and killed militia in Partora city. Pontifex Sinted acted swiftly and banned the infiltrator that was causing all the nuisance.
We thank our allies Ibladesh for their swift honorable action in handling this infiltrator.

| Disappearances/Kidnaps to blame for Caligus loss in Troyes
|
| Sometime during the day before the battle three nobles of Caligus disappeared. This included Duke Syklvor, General Lana and Knight Clyde. Together and also with reliable movement they made up over 2KCS and may have tipped the battle in our favor. There is some suspicion that Westmoor sent kidnappers to abduct these nobles. No ransom has been demanded and we fear they may have been dragged to the forest and slain on the spot never to be seen again. We pray this is not the case.
When it came to the battle only 9.5K Caligan troops made the scene against 11.5K defenders from Westmoor. Our troops fought bravely dealing alot of damage to the defenders but in the end were defeated. Caligus pulled back since it effectively lost half its army in the battle
Battle in Troyes
The battle did not go well and there was quite a bit of disappointment in the face of many nobles. Caligus vows to do better next time around.

| War against Perdan finally over
|
| As expected the realm of Perdan has officially surrendered to the realms of Caligus and Ibladesh The peace treaty is astounding with Ibladesh getting claims to no less than 8 regions! Including a city (Aix}, a stronghold (Castle Ubent), two townslands (Ar Mosul and Bisciye and 4 rural regions! This is a vast gain of lands and the most out of the allies in this war while doing the least fighting.
Caligus from the war gains Meuse, Mulhouse, Eldoret and the city of Partora.
Here is the offical copy of the peace treaty
Surrender terms from Perdan to Caligus and Ibladesh
Perdan a much dimished realm from its former glory is however not defeated and it still stands firmly in the East Continent with its large city and wealthy regions around it. They live on and have hopes for a brighter future dreaming of days past.
Caligus is the only one of these three still at war as Perdan has raised relations with Sirion aswell. Caligus marches onwards!
Ad Honorem, Ad Mortis

| Message between Rulers angers Caligus Nobles!
|
| The leak occured unknowingly but nobles from Caligus got the following message that King Corwin sent to Prime Minister Meristenzio and King Dobromir.
Letter from King Corwin
Very obviously Westmoor is unaware of its own foreign politics and has no clue why its involved in the war with Sirion. Westmoor has never had to fight to survive not once. Caligus nobles want this to change and want Westmoor to show they deserve land of their own and a place in the East Continent

| Peace with Perdan Imminent, OI asks for peace
|
| Yesterday our King Dobromir Menethil officially signed a peace treaty. Just now reports have it that Queen Balkeese has followed suit and signed the same one. We only wait for Pontifex Sinted on behalf of Ibladesh to sign as well. Details of the treaty will be given to the public once the last signature is written down
Also Shady, Emperor of the Obsidian Islands has asked Caligus for peace since their objective was to be defensive on Perdan. We assume the situation is being discussed carefully.

| Caligus Nobles vote to cotinue war on Westmoor
|
| Today has been a quiet day. However, a poll regarding the war with Westmoor came to a close.
It wasn't the most heated debate but overall the people of Caligus do not feel Westmoor should to let off after suffering all their attacks. Here are the poll results shown below:
Referendum Results (20 hours, 20 minutes ago)
The referendum "Continue War on Westmoor" has ended. Here is the final tally
24 votes for yes
7 votes for no
22 votes were not cast
With this and the war against Perdan drawing to a close, it can be sure that Caligus armies will soon focus their attention on Westmoor. Westmoor should be able to successfully defend against an attack from Caligus considering the bottleneck it can funnel their armies through. However, with how Westmoor's army has always been, there are always some doubts if it can successfully even defend its own lands. Time will surely tell.
In other minor news, Caligus was recently plagued with monster attacks in various regions. They however have quickly been mopped up.
General Lana was appointed for a second stint as general of Caligus. Congrats to her on a job well done.
Also, Sanctus Acies the main religion of Caligus is slowly but surely being revived. There has been a sudden spark of interest and new priests are being found.
That is it for now. We will continue being the monopoly newpaper for as long as possible!

| The Re-Collection of the past year
|
| Over the past year Caligus has fought against their longest standing ally. Caligus was stamped as underdogs with little to no chance to win the war. For the first month, things were going according to plan with Caligus losing Bursa, Moyale then Nascot and also Winkamus.
Then our King Dobromir decided to overhaul the whole military starting with the general and appointed a new noble Drago who was only in the realm for a short time. This drew out quite a few complaints from senior members in the realm but the decision was upheld and the war started to turn around. With a new leadership and higher morale, Caligus started to defeat wave after wave of Perdanese nobles, taking back Winkamus and also taking Meuse from Perdan and invaded into Bescanon.
Over the course of the war it seem Sangue suddenly became ill and disappeared completely. With a new monarch in Perdan and with Perdan starting to lose ground, peace terms were signed to return to original borders, with Perdan insisting on a clause to make sure if Perdan wished to war against another realm (like Sirion), Caligus would be unable to war its the allies (Westmoor, Fontan and SoA).
Then a short stint of peace.
Report has it that Perdan was marching its army north. Caligus at the same time decided to lower relations with Westmoor to neutral and announce an official war declaration. Perdan followed by declaring war on Sirion with no reasoning. Obviously this had Queen Micna and Queen Balkeese claiming Caligus can't enter the war because of prior treaty. But because Caligus showed intent to war and King Dobromir is a man of his word, he followed through the war declaration and so also lowered relations to Perdan to war to abide by the previous treaty. Ibladesh joined on Caligus side and a new war waged.
Caligus had been weakened with new nobles going to fight the invasion overseas. Caligus's army amassed up to 14K. Westmoor marched 10-12K consistently and Perdan amassed 21-22K CS till she started to weaken. Ibladesh fielded 30K CS. OI made some defensive attempts coming with 5K CS at a time.
The war was staged with Perdan and Westmoor pushing offensively into Caligus with up to 25K CS at a time while Caligus defended and Ibladesh pushing an offensive into Perdanese West side. Perdan put up little to no defensive resistance against Ibladesh forces, making them lose region after region and even the city of Aix. Caligus held well in its defensive posture abandoning Nascot and holdings near its capital and in Viseu/Akesh border on Westmoor.
Westmoor's army is the military joke of the East Continent, losing against militia three times in Viseu and constantly lead their army to their deaths with senseless offensives. With Westmoor out of the way, Ibladesh and Caligus made a final push to bring Perdan to its knees and the realm is reduced to its last few regions and its capital ransacked. Surrender terms are currently in progress.
Here is the most recent assault on the capital of Perdan:
Battle in Partora
