Tara fights on for all non-goat lovers!

July 7th, 2007 In Stargard the army of Tara has continued to support the attack upon religions of Da Goat who resent Tara. Written by Oscar

Carelia defeated in Upperfell!!!

July 7th, 2007 The Army of Abington with Redspan support attacked the Carelian TO of Upperfell today using 2-1 odds. With Upperfell secure, there is little doubt that the Southern Alliance will come to Stargard next. We expect battle to be met at sunrise... Written by Jose dela Cruz

ASI hands Rogeshore to Redspan

July 7th, 2007 Honoring their treaty, ASI gave Rogeshore to Redspan today. There is a great shock among political observers as the treaty was forced upon ASI during Redspan's hollow war threat a few months ago. Many believed that ASI would stall or delay now as Redspan fights for her existence. The Tara Times honors ASI for her honor and dignity. Written by Jose dela Cruz

Abington Spotted in Bolgar

July 7th, 2007 A large enemy force identified as the Army of Abington has been sighted in Bolgar heading into Ambermel. With Redspan Troops known to be hiding in Byblack and Ambermel, it is rumored that this will be another assault to retake Stargard. Only time will tell whose banner shall finally fly over this sad city. In other news... The Barony of Makar and Norland appears to be in a state of crisis as two of their regions overthrew their local governments and declared independence. Uforth and Jerkel are now considered Rogue but it should not be long before they are reabsorbed back into Norland and the Barony. Written by Jose dela Cruz

Shamus, King of Redspan speaks...

July 6th, 2007 My contacts in the Stargard Underground has recently allowed me access to an unprecedented opportunity... an interview with the Hidden King of Redspan!!! After being blindfolded and brought to an unknown location deep in the bowels of the city, here is my pulitzer-winning interview: Jose: May I ask what you and the Duchess of Stargard are doing in this city? Aren't you risking capture by your presence? Shamus: Some things are worth taking a risk for. Jose: You were elected, I believe, soon after Stargard fell. May I ask how you won enough support to beat Tony? Shamus: He stepped down voluntarily and didn't run. It was pretty easy to beat an ineligible candidate. Jose: Redspan recently had an Alliance with Tara and a Federation with Carelia. Where did it all go wrong? Shamus: I'm still trying to figure that out. Both leaders refuse to say. Jose: I seemed to remember Redspan was scheduled to obtain Rogeshore from ASI. Is that agreement still being honored? Shamus: This is between ASI & RedSpan. Jose: You're people fought valiantly against incredible odds. Will you now make Sullenport your capital or retake Stargard once more? Shamus: No decisions are ready to be made public at this time. Jose: Considering Darka is still at war with your realm, do you think the mercenaries were afraid of facing you? Shamus: No. They are being paid to fight in the north, and get no pay from attacking us. Mercenaries always choose gold over anything else. Jose: How do you feel about Abington's loyalty? Shamus: I have never had reason to doubt it. Jose: The only realm known to survive such bad odds as this was Abington. Will you rely on their strategy to see this through? Shamus: RedSpan has survived worse odds than this twice before. I will rely on Abington for strength and friendship. Jose: What gives you strength? Shamus: Faith in Da One and Sullenport Stout. Jose: On a personal note, do you know where Benny is? Reporters tend to stick together. Shamus: No clue, sorry. There you have it, folks. Straight from the hors...err... goat's mouth himself!!!

Stargard Resistance Continues...

July 4th, 2007 You have to admire the modern indoctrination techniques used by Redspan. Despite the obviously unnatural religion of Da Way, the peasants of the capital still believe in it. The Liberation of this city has once again failed as numerous Redspan Priests counter Tara's efforts to bring civilization to our neighbor. Difficulty is even being encountered in nearby Meldeen where attempts at introducing hygene and bathing have met with surprising resistance. Still, we will not be Tarans if we were not persistent. The light WILL shine upon these poor souls. Written by Jose dela Cruz

Stargard Liberation Fails!!!

July 2nd, 2007 The annexation of Stargard failed today as the citizens of the city overthrew their Taran saviors. This marks the second time such ingratitude has taken place. Despite the compassion and understanding shown by many of our noble troops, it would appear the goat preference in the general population is more prevalent than previously believed. Calls for harsher methods of treatment are being heard throughout the realm as realization of the insidious nature of Da Goat spread. This reporter, himself, has witnessed personally the nightmare of being under the influence of Undead and Monsters. We must free Redspan's people from a fate unimaginable!!! Written by Jose dela Cruz

Tara Times Reporter Captured!!!

July 2nd, 2007 It my sad duty to relate to you all of an unfortunate experience I had recently. While rushing into battle at Jagla against Undead, I was overwhelmed by thier superior numbers and captured. After six days of undescribable hell, I finally escaped back to civilization. I apologize to the good people of Jagla for not having enough soldiers to crush the menace. I will try my best next time. Written by Jose dela Cruz
