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

Recently a reporter found their way to General Atanamir's tent while he was camped out in Semall. They where permitted into his tent, where they permitted entrance and a short interview with the Perdanese General:

Reporter: 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)?

General Atanamir: 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.

Reporter: 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?

General Atanamir: 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.

Reporter: 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?

General Atanamir: 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 in on October 3, 1011 - Woolton is also a region lost by Ibladesh.
