Ikalak has looked very weak as of late, even the victories over Sandalak have been hollow, for every battle they win they lose three skirmishes.  All hope seemed to be lost for them with there council in turmoil and indesicion and chaos in the high council with some members who have been found to be clearly corrupt while others were nothing more then thieves.  However it seemed negotiations between Lone Wolf and Yavanna may of actually had some effect.  One Taselak battle group broke off there attack on an Ikalak territory (costing Taselak a victory) and began a takeover in Toren Stronghold.  This territory was banned from being taken over by either side according to an ammended contract which the battle group leader claimed was void since the leader of Sandalak had changed since the contract was made.  Lone Wolf has been unavailable for comment but seems to have let this Taselak loosecannon take over his part of the army away from the actual General.  This breach of the treaty has not gone unnoticed by the other two realms.  After the various spys caught on all three sides of the war no realm can claim to be the honourable one, but mearly the least dishonourable.  Reguardless of this fact fierce fighting continues around the region of Aboal and Unagae while Taselaks army regroups.

After the recent inactivity of the highly respected Judge Sponge of Ikalak, due to his extensive injuries received during the battles to reclaim Aboal, more elections were held after he resigned his position as the Enforcer of Justice. "I, Sponge, Will step down as Judge today. Will it be forever? Who knows? I don't think so. Just a break and give someone else the change to 'learn' the position or to take it over from me for a while. I'll fully support him/her and also got my vote." Sponge began in his formal statement to the Nobles of Ikalak.
 
  
Following Sponge's resignation there was sudden frenzy as many of the respected Nobles of Ikalak announced their candidacy for the position of Grand Justiciar, the most prominent of these being Zack the Great and former Minister for Defence, Grig. However after an extremely open and competitive campaign it was Grig who won a resounding victory and was bestowed with the mantle of the Judge of Ikalak. Grig's actions after the election were short and decisive, but ultimately productive as he wrangled the information from many of the high-ranking Nobles of Sandalak which lay encarcerated within the Ikalakian prisons. This speight of questioning led to the uncovery of a grand plot to overthrow the government of Ikalak through delivery of tactical information to the Dictator of Sandalak, Boswick. The culprit for this treachery was none other than the late Knight of Wellaf, Jair who was immediately banned from the realm as a traitor. Although no others were found guilty of such high treason it remains to be seen just how deep the plot runs among the Nobles of Ikalak as Boswick, the Dictator of Sandalak in his messages to Yavanna, the Prime Minister of Ikalak hinted that there may be many more contacts within the Ikalakian circles.....

title = Taselak marches on Ikalak City!|
 
article =Date: Nov. 4 2005
 
Taselak made a daring move on Ikalak this week. They jumped over Berakor and went straight for the city. Ikalak was not expecting this and got slaughtered because most of their army was in Korlok. During the week Taselak managed to get the walls in Ikalak down a level and damage 72% of the current wall level. Even though Taselak brought a huge unit of 122 men, it cant do much except take some archer fire. Since they decided to attack the city before taking Berakor they cant start a TO. Ikalak is currently en route to Ikalak from Korlok which will surely be a bloody battle. Nobody knows what will happen. Some of Taselak's forces are apparently leaving, most are staying. There is militia in Ikalak, will the militia bring them in the city from a secret passage? Only time will tell.

article = Oct 25 2005
 
A new wave of treachery has rocked the great City of Ikalak as many nobles, the former Count of Kietrem, Moonglum of the Spearhawk family being one of the prime offenders in this new outbreak of disloyalty. After a series of crushing defeats at the hands of the Sandalakian armies in Abykal, some nobles lost the will to carry on under the banner of a city which they once called home. Among those to have defected to the infamous Boswick and his followers were Emmitt II, son of Emmitt I who died heroically at the hands of Taselak whilst acting as a deep scout behind enemy lines and most infamously the once highly regarded Count of Kietrem, Moonglum, a former Marshal of the army which had long protected the region which he took with him,  In response to this troubling turn of events, Morgoth, the Duke of Ikalak City, has already placed a price on the head of this traitor, He was quoted as saying, "Moonglum lost his mind, He should fit in quite niceley in Sandalak". This upsurge of disloyalty among the great nobles of Ikalak, coupled with the losses of Abykal, Triewa, Mewun and Unagae have led Ikalak to its darkest hour as it fights valiantly to protect its sovereignty from the hordes of two barbarian invaders.

The Walls close in
Date: Dec 27 2005

The news of the massive geological events on the East Continent fall on alrady troubled ears as the forces of both Taselak and Sandalak close in around the besieged city of Ikalak. However as always the determined Nobles of Ikalak put themselves at the forefront in heroic defence of the White City and although the odds are stacked against them they still continue to fight after the loses of Korlok, Wellaf and Dakan to the enemy.

After the immediate siege of the City concluded with both armies forced to retreat, the Ikalakians launched an ill-fated counter-attack against the Occupational Forces of Sandalak in Korlok. However many Nobles did not receive the orders to march in time, and infiltrator actions which blocked the pathways to Korlok, these combined series of misfortunate events led to an inferior army engaging the enemy and with loss the Ikalakians regrouped and retreated to the city. However, despite these loses the Ikalakians continue to wage a valiant defence of their city in the hopes of one day earning their long deserved freedom to strike back at the barbaric snakes of Sandalak.

Battle for Ikalak begins
Date: Dec. 17 2005

The battle for the control over Ikalak City has begun. Two days after Taselak started their takeover attempt, Sandalak sent in an armada to thwart the Taselakian plans. Though they were no match for the defending force, the Sandalakians achieved their main objective: putting a stop to the takeover and buy time to mount a full-scale attack. Surprisingly, Ikalak greeted the Sandalakians with hostility, calling them traitors and backstabbers because they supposedly broke their ceasefire agreement with Taselak, even though the agreement does not include attacks on foreign soil. Sandalak claims that Taselak has broken the agreement earlier by taking control of the Toren Stronghold and Bieth.

Even more surprising, several Ikalakians have now sided with their invaders! Several sources report Ikalakians and Taselakians fraternizing, which is described by Hassan of Sandalak as follows: "I don't get it, we save Ikalak from destruction by stopping the takeover, and they go off and have drinks with Taselak! I think they finally lost all sense of reality. They left their capital wide open for Taselak in the first place, which leads me to believe that Ikalak is trying their best to make sure Sandalak does not get control of Ikalak City. The final act of a desperate realm."

It is certain that the final word on this issue has not been said, as both Taselak and Sandalak are preparing for the next round of combat. Several voices have been heard saying that if Ikalak wishes to survive the next few weeks, they should use the opportunity to regroup whilst Taselak and Sandalak fight over the Northern capital.

More news will follow as the situation develops.

Rebellion in Taselak!
Date: Nov. 27 2005

Possibly the shortest rebellion in record took has taken place in Taselak. Rumours suggest less than an hour after Trilion the Silver Dagger rised up to lead in the insurgents against what he saw as un unjust government he and his followers were struck down. The rebuttle was swift, crushing the rebellion before it had even really began. Details are sketchy but there seems no firm reason for the rebellion other than Trilion's greed for power, a dangerous thing for such a young troop leader.

Two days after the failed rebellion Trilion the Silver Dagger was publicly executed to warn any fellow troop leaders against any ideas against the government and Lone Wolf's long standing reign. This was followed on the 1st of December by Shadow Skull who supported the rebellion, obviously assumming he too could gain a position of power in Taselak.
