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.
State of the War |
April 6th, 2007 The focus of the war shifted from the east to the west with the Falasan offensive against Belegmon, overrunning the Taran defenders and commencing a takeover. However, the attempt to reclaim Belegmon was thwarted 5 days ago when a combined Darkan-Estonite force attacked Belegmon. Although the forces opposed were quite close, several variables resulted in a devasting loss for the Falasani and Carelian defenders (See the 4th Battle of Belegmon), resulting in the capture of Abraham, Royal Treasurer of Falasan and Kronos, King of Carelia. The survivors retreated to Barad Falas, and initially repelled the first assault, but were unable to prevent the invaders from entering the city on the second attempt. |
Estonite and Darkan troops proceeded to loot and ravage the surroundings as much as possible. High Marshal Herumor of Darka was quite open in his taunting, referring to his list--that of cities taken and looted. Troops returned from Eastern Front, and an offensive from Beleriel reclaimed Barad Falas. In an ironic twist, Herumor himself was captured by Falasani forces. Eston also followed the shift in emphasis, emptying Amdor to fill Belegmon with troops, perhaps in response to the concentration of Eastern Alliance warriors in Barad Falas, or perhaps in preparation for an assault of their own. |

A month ago, Estonite marshal Artemis Entreri declared "wabbit season!" This is, indeed, how the war went:

Eston general insults Carelia's King |
April 2nd, 2007 We have just received this message from our correspondent in Belegmon: Roleplay from Kronos Message sent to everyone in the region Belegmon Letter from Basil Message sent to: Armitage III, Dielo, Kronos Kronos, You are a liar and a fool. Eston will now almost certainly have to accept federation with the Cagilan Empire and Talerium. That Federation will not be in your best interest. Of that I am certain. Sir Basil High Marshal of Eston, Duke of Massillion As from now on,i consider your General,not only an ignorant concerning tactical approaches but also a coward... I leave it up to you to deliver the following message. Carelia gave a battle with total respect towards its enemies here. We've requested from Eston to do the same. Your King,people of Eston, is a man with honor and full understanding. However,on the contrary,your General is a coward and disrespectfull towards a Leader of another realm. |
Dont even ask about his reasoning and his diplomacy. I challenge this man,if i can call him like that,to come and tell such words in front of my face.As this will give me the chance and the pleasure to shut his big mouth once and for all with my axe Halyvas. I may be old,but still,boys like him i certainly know how to handle. Whatever happens,do not take it as a personal attack towards the people of Eston.I am sad to see you being leaded by a man of such disrespect. While i never insulted him,he ve insulted me twice.I ve put aside his insults the first time,now i am asking him to come and prove his ... bravery. To come and solve with me this issue once and for all...as a man towards another man. I know that Estonians have courage,so if their General doesnt know what "man" means,i am politely requesting from you to explain him. With respect, Sir Kronos King of Carelia, Marshal of the Royal Guard |
