	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, and most accurate, news on the East Island.
