| New Ruler in Taselak | |
| Date: Dec 15 2005
In a surprising move the former ruler of Taselak, the prestigious Sir Suurmias stepped down from his position as the leader of the Nobles. Following Suurmias' abdication from the throne, several contenders for the seat of power rose from the ranks of the Nobles. Syfo-Jaydon, a widely recognised and trusted Lord, Eldarion, the High Marshal of the Army and Duke of the Toren Stronghold and Xerxes, a relatively new, but nevertheless loyal Lord of Endelee. After several speeches and many promises and new policies put forward to the Nobles the voting found Syfo-Jaydon as the new King of Taselak with a majority of 30% of the total votes with Eldarion and Xerxes close behind. In other news, following his election the battle for control of the Island continues as the Ikalakians continue to take regions in the north and the Taselakians and Sandalakians regroup after several vicious conflicts. |
| The War Begins: Taselak vs the Island |
| Date: Dec 04 2005
With the destruction of Toren and its lands now folded into the command of Taselak the war shifted as the remaining realms of the island, Taselak, Ikalak and Sandalak decided amongst themselves as to who would be the next target. Shortly, the first of what will inevitably be a long series of border raids and vicious scuffles for control of the northern/western front. Taselak, being well-equipped and battle-hardened having just come from the TO of Toren was able to defeat the Ikalakians easily forceing them to retreat back to their capital for rest and refit. Taselak's army, under the command of Eldarion, Duke of the Toren Stronghold, moved on to eliminate the militia in both Jerelin and Riakond before being forced to retreat due to mounting equipment damage and a surprising attack on Moeth by the armies of Sandalak. With the entrance of Sandalak into the fray it is certain now that both Sandalak have decided, either officially or unofficially, to stop fighting each other and concentrate on a common enemy. With a war on two fronts, now is the time when Taselak will have to truly prove itself and rise to save itself from being overrun.... |
| Taselakian Victory as Torenite Presence disintegrates |
| Date: Nov 26 2005
A few days ago the South West Island saw the destruction of one of the three realms to disappear before the war for total control of the island is concluded. After many days of fighting with heavy losses on both sides the Torenite Capital was taken by overwhelming Taselakian forces leaving its final region Bieth completely defenceless as it fell in just a few short days. With the destruction of Toren and its regions taken over by the hordes of Taselak it is only a short time before the war begins again, this time for higher stakes and more valuable ground. As the three nations gather their forces one has to wonder...is their a God on this poor war-torn island? |
| Attractive peasants demand more nobles |
| "South-West Island just doesn't have enough good men to satisy me. Myself and my sisters are willing to try many new things, but there just isn't enough people about."
This comment, from a particularly pretty maid, expresses an opinion that can be seen throughout the island. For the good of the public, the Tattler urges all nobles to heed the ladies call. Battle and war need you. Women need you. South-West Island needs you. Of course, this editor is quite happy about the lack of noble blood on the island, as it opens up many exciting avenues for his own exploits. |
