Huge Battle Fought   (24 minutes ago)

Rumours spread and tales are sung about a huge battle in Oligarch:

Fontan vs. Sirion

It's very as though neither of those Realms has righteous claim to that grand city!

Destruction of Oligarch

The End of a Mighty Realm

[- This lifted from Lorrie Furion Archbane's invaluable History of Fontan -]

Fontan City seceded from Fontan at the behest of Lycastus. He felt the old Fontan wasn't around anymore and sought to bring it back with Light Of Fountain, a Theocracy. There were some religion in his talk, which i think is to legitimize his claim for LOF. Anyway, a couple of experienced TLs moved to LOF. An Najaf and Negev joined the new realm. There was much hype about what to do, but in the end, Fontan continued their feud with Oligarch. Viseu joined LoF awhile later, brought over by a unhappy TL. Fontan did better even with less tax. They took Greatbridge, Hagley, Troyes and Westmoor in quick succession. They rested and refitted and coordinated with allied generals, on the final push. Then Oligarch City fell. A combined force of 48k cs attacked the 20k cs in Oligarch City. They stone walls creaked under the march of Fontan, Sirion and OR's troops. So Oligarch is no more. Sirion is currently doing a TO of it. Commonyr is being TOed by our TLs. Oligarch is dead. Destroyed by our combined might. The Northern Conflict is finally over.

The Fall of the City

[- This lifted from Edition 9 of The Oligarchian Observer -]

May 28, 2006- Today, Commonyr fell to Fontanese forces. The realm of Oligarch has come to an end. Now we are only a body of refugees, a body of refugees which shall carry on the fight from other realms. Let it be known that Oligarch went down fighting, and never once betrayed a friend, never once backed down from its side.

[- This also from Edition 9 of The Oligarchian Observer -]

The Fall of Oligarch - May 20, 2006- This is a day which shall live on in infamy. My reports in Perdan City say that 48k of Sirionite, Old Rancaguan, and Fontanese forces assaulted 21k Oligarchian defenders. After a heated and pitched battle, we were vanquished, with thousands dying on each side. Several heroes were killed. It is time to recon the cost of the defeat of Oligarch. Since the beginning of this war when Sirion marched on Omsk, my(admittedly limited) research indicates 450,000 peasents dead, either murdered or starved, and almost 250,000 military personnel, and dozens of heros. This is the legacy of Sirion. Half a million slaughtered peasents, the virtual depopulation of vast rural areas. Now that Oligarch is gone, the Age of the Northern Trinity has been ushered in, for none can oppose their dominance. They tested themselves in Rancagua, refined themselves in Avamar, and proved themselves finally in Oligarch. They brought us Hell, and we fought it, and damned ourselves.

In the Absence of Oligarch

[- This lifted from History of Perdan's Praetorian Strike Force -]

Soon Perdan founds itself facing a new threat from both sides. Ibladesh and Itorunt, unable to deal with the great Perdan army, called for Sirion assitance to help slow their destruction. Sirion answered the call, and soon a large Elivish army was approaching Bescanon, and for the first time in decades, northern alliance forces stepped foot on Perdan soil. Despite the initial surprise, the great King Nightmare quickly reacted to the attack and the Perdan army prepared to launch an attack into Bescanon from the regions of Brive and Perdan City. The Sirion hordes quickly realized they had strayed too far from home to even hope for a victory and quickly retreated to the north.

Oligarch's Historic Role

[- This lifted from Oligarch's History by Grand Justiciar Hireshmont -]

Oligarch is a proud realm with a rich heritage written in blood and tears. We stand on the border between the overpowering Sirion and the diabolical Fontan as a bulwark to the southern states. We are locked in struggle against these foes. Our republic stands proud in the fray, strong and stalwartly defending all that is honorable in East Continent. Oligarch was destroyed as of May 28, 2006 by the combined forces of Sirion, Fontan, and Old Rancagua.

From Madness: Prophecy!

[- This lifted from A Tormented Prophecy by Merewyn Leader, of the long noble Family Kazan -]

(Three invader realms of Sirion, Fontan and Old Rancagua rallied under the banner of Doc to finally siege the capital of Oligarch and erase this realm from the map in the same way as they have erased Omsk, Avamar, Eleador and Rancagua. During the great battle in defence of Oligarch city, Lady Merewyn has been wounded. Later in hospital the healers learned that Lady Merewyn lost her mind and became unpredictable but she has gained the clairvoyance powers.) Ahhh... my friends! Three powerful realms of Sirion, Fontan and Old Rancagua ganged up to finally trample to death the small, weakened and defenceless Oligarch. One of the biggest city of this continent hardly has place for all the intruders that came to see the end of the legendary realm of Oligarch. PEOPLE OF THE NORTH! Enjoy the end of Oligarch, enjoy, feast and dance on the market squares, trampling one another. But hurry with eating, hurry with dance, care to trample your new friends, not your old family. Because your end is near too. YOUR end lurks in the shadows of this victory! YOUR END awaits you patiently like a rat-trap with the most delicious piece of cheese inside!! BUHAHAHA! The victorious heroes of today will be the slaves tomorrow!! WHO do you think will fall next? Perdan? Caligus? Naaaahhhh... They are tooo far away from here. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Enjoy and dance on the grave of Oligarch! Enjoy, sing and play on the grave of your friendhip!!
