The infiltrator question 3 July 1011 The nobles of Westmoor were today in talks over what to do with the Fontanese infiltrators. A large number of criminal attacks were carried out over the last few months by Fontanese infiltrators culminating in the wounding of King Maedros a few days ago. New Westmoor can now announce that the infiltrator Zartos ut Daris is the main suspect in the attack. It is quite likely should he be captured that an execution will be ordered which has brought up a debate over what should be done with the great number of captured infiltrators already in the dungeons. Zartos is an infamous infiltrator and has served time in the dungeons of Sirion according to the Elven Chronicle. He has also been banned from Caligus for his crimes and deported by Sirion but has yet to be captured by the realm of Westmoor. It seems that Fontan unable to mount an effective military attack is resorting more and more to converting its nobles into undercover agents. Systematically failed attacks were carried out (over the last few days) both on our General Arica and our Duke Gregor both of whom were exceptionally well guarded against such an assault and it comes as no surprise that the assassins failed. There are arguments either way as to what extent punishment should be handed out. To this papers knowledge there has still been no word from Fontan. Skirmish in Commonyr Brock Ketchum a Fontanese Noble actually attempted with a small number of men to push the Westmoorian Column out of Commonyr today. Brock lead his unit the Ashforth Strike Infantry on a brave charge into our camp making it somehow through the outer perimeter where he was bombarded with archer fire surrounded and captured in what can only be described as a brave but utterly futile attack on our army.

Our King wounded! 1 July 1011 It is with grave news that New Westmoor paper announces today that an assassination attempt was carried out on our King Maedros. The king survived the attack but has been seriously wounded taking him off his duties until he is able to recover. Outrage and support was quick to come from all corners of the kingdom with the finger being firmly pointed at Fontan. Marshal Thomas Foxglove was the first to condemn the Fontanese government for what is surely the final straw in a long series of undercover attacks against Westmoor. “Let this assassination attempt on King Maedros finally prove that Fontan is a realm where there is no longer any honour, at least under its current leadership…” Noble Nideus Kain commented that Fontan had in this action signed its own death wish. Whatever the truth of the matter, this could not have happened at a worse time for diplomatic relations and will surely have grave consequences for Fontan which is clearly not in a position to defend itself militarily. It will now likely be nigh impossible for the Westmoorian government not to justify serious counter measures against a realm that not so long ago used to be considered our ally.
