Defeat in Stora...
This, the third invasion of the isles was even less successful than the previous invasion. The situation in the Old Rancaguan High Command has become somewhat tense as heated discussions over the direction of the military were held. Some have even called for High Marshal Johnny's resignation from office.
The most recent attack was once more fraught with difficulty as the regrettably efficient and highly trained infiltrators of Kalmar were again successful in wreaking havoc on the roads and sea-lanes which run from Kazan to Stora. Some nobles reported delays of up to 8 hours due to blocked roads, changed signs and strange tree formations. As a result, the original Old Rancaguan armada of 17,000 CS, some 1,500 men, arrived in waves against the entrenched defenders resulting in overwhelming defeat.
The first wave of some 4,000 CS was massacred, however despite this defeat, Lord Johnny decided to continue the assault, resulting in a further defeat as only 6,000 CS arrived of the 13,000 remaining. It was at this point that upon the insistence of the Military Advisory Council, Lord Johnny ordered the retreat of the remaining forces who will now form the core of the new forces being amassed in Kazakh and Ashforth.
The next invasion of Stora is scheduled for sometime in the next two weeks, the implications behind this assault are now very clear to the High Command, whose leadership is now being questioned by the Noble of Old Rancagua. It seems, that should defeat once more be inflicted, regrettably Lord Johnny may be forced to step down. The OR Press will keep you posted...

The war continues with Kalmar, more death and destruction in Perdan
The imminent secession of the true rulers of Kalmar, from old Kalmar, to form a New Avamar in the Chaos Temple, has only given the Old Rancaguan Council, and consquently the High Command a renewed level of zeal to finish the job and bring an end to Lalakis' tyranny.
Amongst the ranks of Old Rancagua are many disillusioned and formerly brainwashed Kalmarians who, with the recent discovery of Avamar's plans to split the realm have joined against them to prevent, or at least avenge, this atrocity. Let us hope that in the days to come, the OR Press will have news of a successful invasion of Stora and a consquent liberation of the Isles from Lalakis' iron grip.
In other news, the sea of bones in Bescanon and Woolton had a fresh wetting of blood in the recent days with further large battles occuring the regions. The war with Perdan has turned into a stalemate it seems, with neither side being able to gain an advantage. Will keep you posted with the news as it comes...

The bloodbath that is Bescanon, and Legatus in Perdan?
The region of Bescanon, along with its neighbour Troyes have been the sites of the largest battles in the East Continent in the months since the death of Oligarch. Thousands of brave young Perdanese, Sirionite and Fontanese soldiers have met countless times in merciless slaughter, led remorselessly on by their Nobles, some of which who have also fought and died on those fields.
The OR Press can only marvel at the sheer unyielding wills of all realms involved and, though we here believe that the Perdanese do deserve some modicum of punishment for their actions in the past, perhaps the price is too high to pay? Sometimes, compromise is the only way for an ending and a victory to be achieved.
In other news it seems that our esteemed friend, Legatus DeSyrr, former Chief Editor of our infamous nemesis paper, the Kalmarian Chronicles has abandoned the realm he loved so much and departed for Perdan. Perhaps he finally realised that Avamar are the true rulers of the Isles? Perhaps he shook off the brainwashed crap which Lalakis filled in his ears, saw the truth and was ashamed? I suppose we will never know, but we can always hope that this is the case!
