New Management

July 11, 2006- I, The Yellow Dart, have completed a FTO of these printing presses and now will exert my full control over the news. Just try to figure out my true identity! In other news, an alliance has been declared with Carelia. Though we value our alliances in the east more, (they've been around longer), this continues to expand our ever growing circle of friends. In other news, groups of monsters have been seen in both Crandahan and Winwich. They have provided excellent training for our rebuilding army and were unable to cause much damage to our realm.

War!

July 19, 2006- Minas Ithil has once again decided to flex its muscles and entered into a war with Abington and its allies to aid our ally Ash Sea Islands. Talerium is lso fighting on our side, which feels quite strange since they were the enemy last time around. From my point of view, it seems this war started because the peace agreement between Abington and Ash Sea Islands from a previous war, which included land transfers, was violated by one or both parties. (Its dificult to separate facts from slander and mud-slinging) From the rulers' official statements, ASI says that Abington is demanding more regions than what was agreed upon, where as Albington feels ASI is withholding land that rightfully belongs to Abington and has not fufilled their end of the agreement. More news from the front will be coming once battles erupt.
