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 only thing necessary
for the triumph [of evil]
is for good men to do nothing.

Undead Horde Attack Perdan City!
The common folk of Perdan have fled from their homes to the safety of the walls of Perdan city at the sudden appearance of a massive horde of undead! Reports indicate that the horde of undead, numbering nearly 500 of the foul creatures, have been pillaging and marauding across the countryside. The horde is expected reach Perdan city in mere hours. Duke Nightmare and many more staunch defenders have rushed to the walls to prepare for the assault.

Old Rancagua Regains Control
It seems as if the common fold of Kazan, Kazakh, and Juazeiro were not too happy to learn that they owed allegiance to Avamar Selective. The common folk of these regions rose up in revolt against their new masters and initiated their own friendly take over of the regions to return themselves to the ownership of Old Rancagua. The revolts were quick and orderly. All three regions rapidly threw off the yoke of the usurpers, and are now firmly back under the wing of Old Rancagua.

It has been determined that the so-called nobles of Avamar Selective did not assault the rightful lords of the region prior to taking control. Instead, they bribed the officials in the regions to hand control over to Avamar Selective, while the rightful lords were still seated! This incurred tremendous expenses on the part of the usurpers. Our sources indicate that nearly 24,000 gold was spent in forgeries and bribes. While their control of the regions was short-lived, Avamar Selective still maintains their claim that they have a legitimate right tot he regions. This could have some long-term effects on the production and usefulness of the regions to Old Rancagua.

Deceit and Corruption Abounds
In a maneuver that surprised the East Continent yesterday, Bladesinger of Avamar Selective bribed public officials and bought the titles to the region of Kazan out from under the nose of Old Rancagua, and added it to the list of regions that owe fealty to Avamar Selective. Although expensive, the maneuver was only a hinting of things to come. Mere hours later Chancellor Amreadil of Avamar Selective moved into the city of Kazakh and bribed the officials in the city to declare him as the rightful Duke of Kazakh! Amreadil reportedly spent nearly 8,000 gold on bribes before he managed to convince the local officials to risk their lives on the forging of the official document. After the deception was discovered, it was too late. The officials perpetrating the act were nowhere to be found, and Avamar Selective had already taken possession of the region. Old Rancagua is expected to rapidly retake control of the city, but the shadow of the claim by Avamar Selective will have long lasting effects on the productivity of the region.

Update: Lady Althea of Avamar Selective has now bought the title of Juazeiro away from Old Rancagua. It is believed that assassins from Avamar Selective are attacking the regional lords of Old Rancagua in order to clear the titles so the region lordships can be bought. This string of region losses will surely be extremely damaging to Old Rancagua.

Perdan and Itorunt March to War!
The armies of Perdan and Itorunt have joined together and sailed to war! Yesterday morning, the armies of both of the realms put to sea from the Perdan Mines for Venas. The expeditionary force is ultimately bound for the realm of Kalmar Islands to liberate it from the occupying government. Resistance is already being met in the form of infiltrator activity delaying travel. With the long travel times across the islands, it remains to be see how much of an effect this will have on the invasion forces. As expected, the defenders have decided to retreat behind the walls of Chaos Temple and await the assault. This is typical of the tactics used by Kalmar Islands and Avamar Selective against the invasion forces of Old Rancagua, Sirion, and Fontan. It will take much work from the Marshals of the invasion force to coordinate the arrival times of the multitude of troops. But if it can be done properly, the attackers should have no trouble overwhelming the defenders.

Update: January 7, Perdan has declared war on the Kalmar Islands.
