Large Battles All Around

Date: March 9, 1009 Many battles were being fought all across the East Continent, but within just the past week a good amount of larger scale battles could be heard about and seen. Most of these battles came from the north, including troops from Fontan, Sirion, Old Rancagua, Sultanate of Asena, and perhaps to some surprise, Westmoor. While in the south the majority of attention came out of Isadril, as Perdan and Itorunt attacked the walls under Tuchanon V's command. These wars continue to pour hundred, if not thousands, of dead into the streets, hillsides, and much more. What will be next? How will this shape out the future of the East Continent? Only time will tell....

News Rulers

March 10, 1009 With new rulers in position in Westmoor, Sirion, and Ibladesh, it leaves people to wonder if perhaps a change in policy and even some peace might be in store for some of the lands. Though Westmoor is not currently at war with anyone, there have been quite some rumors showing their military involvement against another realm. Ibladesh could use some fresh air, and perhaps some time away from all the fighting. Then of course Sirion could as well.

A Quick Recap

March 10, 1009 Quite a lot has happened over the past. First it started out with the wars that lead to Obsidian Islands' existance. Old Rancagua and Perdan went to war with Kalmar Islands, and later Avamar Selective. Old Rancagua took the Kalmar Island, while Perdan took Chaos Temple Island and Bastad Island. Once in better condition, Kalmar seceded to form OI, and shortly after the Chaos Temple duchy joined along. Next on the list of events, the great wars start back up. With Itorunt breaking out of the federation, causing war with Ibladesh and Yssaria. Following this, Perdan declared war on Yssaria and Ibladesh. Fontan broke their federation with Sirion and Old Rancagua, causing war there as well. Tuchanon V was founded in Isadril through secession from Yssaria. Light of Fountain also joined in against Fontan. Tuchanon V declared war on Itorunt. Obsidian Islands also joined in and warred Fontan. Light of Fountain got destroyed by Fontan, and Yssaria falls to Caligus. Perdan warred and destroys Ubent. The Confederacy of Fontan was formed by secession and war with Fontan follows. Perdan and Caligus also join in the war against Fontan. Kazakh seceded from Fontan, forming the Sultanate of Asena, who declared war on Obsidian Islands. White City of Westmoor seceded from Perdan, forming Westmoor, which Fontan declared war upon. Fontan destroyed the Confederacy of Fontan. Peace was found between the forces of Westmoor, Perdan, Caligus, and Fontan. Obsidian Islands reach peace with the Sultanate of Asena. Perdan goes to war against Tuchanon V. I believe that is about it, if I missed anything...well I just hope I didn't since there is already so much here.

Gerard's Betrayal

March 16, 1009 After attacking a noble priest in his region, losing the attack and being seriously wounded and then being asked to step down from his position as he refused to follow orders and continued to break laws...well needless to say it seems "Lord" Gerard felt it would be ok to just bring our region over to Duchy of Perdan, which is of course, part of Perdan. No news of how things are going to go from here.

The End of Old Rancagua?

March 16, 1009 Suffering major losses recently and the region of Pucallpa it would seem nothing more can be done to stop the death of Old Rancagua. It leaves some to wonder where the nobles will go as well. Will they join the Sultanate of Asena? Perhaps fight on with Sirion? There are several other options open to them of course, it's just a question of what they want and where they want to do it from. The Obsidian Islands wish them the best, even though they certainly aren't saying the same for us.

A New War

March 18th, 1009 Something that may, or may not come to a surprise for many people is the new war between Westmoor and Sirion. Many can most likely remember that it wasn't long ago that Westmoor and Sirion where both fighting against Fontan. Now it seems things have changed, drastically, as Westmoor now marches with Fontan against Sirion. Fontan has survived quite the wars, first there was the wars against Old Rancagua, Light of Fountain, Sirion, and Obsidian Islands. After not only surviving that war but winning (with the destruction of LoF, creation of SoA from Kazakh, and Avamar from Sirion). Then next was the succession of city of Fontan, creating the new realm of the Confederacy of Fontan. Perdan joins the war, along with Caligus. Perdan creates the realm of Westmoor from the city of Westmoor. Caligus also takes some land while the Confederacy of Fontan was destroyed. Now Fontan fights against Sirion and Old Rancagua but not alone like before. No instead Fontan has the Sultanate of Asena and Westmoor on their side.
