title = '''Taselak under Siege!!'''|
 
article =Date: <i>May 2cd, 2006</i>
 
On the morning of May 1st a massive Sandalakian army swept towards Taselak city resulting in a battle of epic proportions.  Sandalaks force musted over 2800 men strong against the 950 man Taselakian force.  The Sandalakian force rushed towards the walls while their calvary intecepted a few of the Taselakians who had bravely tried to halt the oncoming army.  Inevitably the Sandalakian infantry force reached the walls with numerous siege engines.  The battle for the walls was suprisingly swift with the large number of Taselakian archers engaged in close combat by wave after wave of infantry.  While the fierce battle for the walls continued, the siege engines battered the Taselakian walls into submition allowing Sandalaks calvary to sweep through the defences.
 
  
Hopelessly outnumbered and with the enemy inside the walls the Taselakians fled while suffering from enourmous casualties.  Once the Taselakian army was out of the way the forces of Sandalak quickly attempted a takeover, but as there political officials entered the Taselakian capital to get the takeover underway however they were massacred by the people and remaining Taselakian army.  This force was quickly crushed and a new takeover is currently underway.  The siege continues.

Things seem to be rapidly falling apart in Taselak with several major battles lost consecutively, with suicidal attacks against larger forces and random skirmishes with Taselakian troops being hopelessly outnumbered and outmaneuvered and general unhappiness with the current leadership; It was inevitable that a rebellion would be attempted however it was swiftly put down with two of the rebel leaders executed by Penny while the third has fled to SandalakMorale is certainly low in Taselak, as these two letters showPeople in Taselak really dont like Castimir running things.

''There has certainly been alot of confusion surrounding the Daily Toren.  People seem convinced that we are just spitting out Sandalak propaganda.  This makes no sense to me or the editing team as we strive to show both sides of this confilct.  However as a paper competing with two others it is up to us to make sure that the most interesting stories are available.  If this means that we report about Sandalak crushing Taselak in a major battle rather then Taselak slaughtering Sandalak in a small skirmish, it is not because we are biased, but because large events are more crucial then smaller ones.

== Sandalak is victorious ==
Date: May 30th, 2006

At 1:20 today the God's themeselves proclaimed Sandalak victorious. The entire Island is in celebration as for the first time in more then two years there will finnaly be peace. With Taselak raised to the groud there are only pockets of resistance remain of the once great Taselakian army. Despite being at a massive disadvantage in wealth and population as well as the travel time to the Toren Stronghold compared to the other two realms, Sandalak prevailed against all the odds. Under the command of Boswick, Sebastian led the army of Sandalak to an almost unbroken string of glorious victories. First in Abykal, finnaly breaking through the first Ikalakian line of defence followed by Korlock, and then finnaly Ikalak city itself. The war with Taselak started with the greatest defence of the entire island. The Taselakian forces had broken there way through to the Sandalakian capital but were defeated by the combined forces of the people of Sandalak, the current standing militia and several noibles who had just arrived on the Island. Taselak never truly recovered from this loss and suffered several major defeats in Figobar, the Cave of Guilt, Toren Stronghold followed by Moeth and finnally the victory is Taselak city by Sandalaks army.


GENOCIDE!!!
Date: May 20th, 2006

On the afternoon of May the 20th the current population of Taselak has been butchered down to a poplation of 2584. This extreme act of violence is quite possibly the biggest slaughter of peasents in one city in the known worlds history. The origanal population stood at an impressive 26000, however after several failed takeovers Boswick and his council ordered that the city should burned to the ground. Taselak no longer resmbles a city anymore, at best a small town. It has no walls, most of its recruitment centrs are inoperational and what little taxes are collected are stolen by the Sandalakian looting force that was left in Taselak while the main army refitted and started additional takeovers of the surrounding Taselakian regions. The peasents have tried to put up a valiant fight with their duke Penny leading them on the front lines but it has been to no avail. Twice a day for the last 18 days a peasent miltia force has risen up to fight the oppressers and twice a day they are mowed down by Sandalakian calvary. Any that survive the initial charge are then butchered by advancing infantry.

If Boswick and his council were to leave this island they may well be treated like war criminals for such an act of violence on such gigantic proportions, but such is the fate of the island where there can be only war!
