Around the Continent News:

Date: Updated Daily Huge Battle Fought Rumours spread and tales are sung about a huge battle in Kazakh: Sirion vs. Sultanate of Asena Estimated strengths: 370 men vs. 300 men The Army of Sirion (Sirion), sponsored by Ecthelion Tezokian, Duke of Sirion, were led into battle by Marshal Webin cIipt. The Iron Wolves of Asena (Sultanate of Asena), sponsored by Vanya Bluelake, Defterdar of Sultanate of Asena, Duchess of Oroya, were led into battle by Marshal Viseslav Stublic. Lady Luarin Bowker (Lord of Sultanate of Asena) was captured by Peter Langdon's unit. Attacker Victory! Region Takeover Ibladesh has taken control of Leibo , a former rogue region. Ibladesh now controls 17 regions.

A New TO

October 8, 1011 With Sirion troops firmly in control of Kazakh, the Obsidian Islands are moving troops back into the city again, with the intent of taking the city from the control of the Sultanate of Asena. Will the capital fall? Well of course, it's just a question of who will it fall to. Obsidian Islands? Revolt against everyone and declare independence (rogue) status? We should know with in a week (hopefully!).

Kazakh Falls Again

October 7, 1011 Ok just as repeating the fall of Kazan, repeating the fall of Kazakh is getting a little...well old as well. It would seem that once again Sirion has marched into Kazakh and once again beaten the Sultanate of Asena on the field (granted SoA had level 1 walls). One would think it's about time to move the capital to Oroya and maybe live for a little while longer.

Leibo Taken

October 5, 1011 It would seem that Leibo has once again been taken by Ibladesh forces. A couple of wins, a new region under control, things seem to getting better in and for Ibladesh and it's armies. We can't forget that many of their regions are in horrible condition, and the cities are starving but still, any kind of light beats no light at all.

Rebellion in Westmoor!

October 2, 1011 Ok well, guess this isn't such as surprise. Westmoor seems to go through a rebellion every couple of months, if not less. Will they ever find a leader that the nobles won't rebel against, or protest out of office? Well at any rate we wish them all the best and hopefully they can find a ruler for them all to agree upon or at least not revolt against.

Perdan Speaks

October 2, 1011 Ok, first question of three. The recent campaign you managed to burn down this once great city of Semall. However at the same time your army lost a huge battle to Ibladesh is Woolton, while losing control of two regions - Al Aquabah and Clermont. How do you view the overall outcome of this portion of the war (obviously the war as a whole so far has gone nearly 100% perfect for Perdan)? Everything goes on as planned. Ibladesh has lost against Perdan since the start of this war Castle Ubent, Ar Mosul, Clermont, Al Zarqua, Zawr, Nimraw, Al Aquabah and its puppet ally, the Diocese of Aix. Territorial losses against Caligus excluded. Perdan has doubled its size. I don't see anything at the moment which could change this trend. Second of three, it is rumored that Ibladesh has been losing not only regions in great numbers but nobles as well, do you feel this will make Ibladesh an easier enemy to defeat or a more active, harder army to defeat? You must see both sides of the coin here. Yes, your theory can be correct. On the other hand, those who will stay in Ibladesh are the determined fanatics. That means that their ressources will be used better and they will be more compact. It is not bad when they have more troops which are less reliable in battle. So no, I don't think it will be easier. On the other hand, I never saw it as difficult. Third of three, so far against Ibladesh, Caligus has lost several times since the start of the war, more they have won to say the least. What do you think they can do to start winning battles and keep winning battles, if anything? Caligus has my respect, Ibladesh focussed on them after we killed DoA and killed Ibladesh's army multiple times. Ibladesh made the a choice to fight one of its enemies more determined, and that is Caligus. The new Pladin Primus tried now to fight both armies with full force, that's why you saw that surprising battle report from Woolton. We will adapt to this, but I am not worried to get out of my schedule. Added later on - Woolton also a lost region.
