Sandalak has finally resecured its control over Toren Stronghold after a vicious fight between Taselakian soldiers and the Sandalakian warriors.  After a long takeover of outstanding brutality involving several peasent massacres the stronghold of Taselak finally collapsed.  This is almost certainly the killing blow for Taselak, after several defeats in battle and an unsuccessful campain in the Cave of Guilt the Taselakian forces have been obliterated.  Only a standing force of militia remains to the north of the island that shows any sign of power.

Things seem to be rappidly falling apart in Taselak with several major battles lost consectutivley, suicidal attacks against a larger force when they control the region defences, random skirmeshes with Taselakian troops being hopelessly outnumbered and outmanourvered.  It was inevitable that a rebbelion would be attempted however it was swiftly put down with  the two of the rebel leaders executed by Penny while the third has fled to Sandalak.  Moral is certainly low is Taselak, as these two letters show.  People in Taselak realy dont like Castimir running things.

With several nobles already abandoning the island on the Tasleakian side including Yavanna, former leader of Ikalak, morale is very low. Several questions remain in circulation, why Castamir was allowed to command the army of Taselak after he had already been beaten in Ikalak remains heavily on many nobles minds. The Daily Toren will attempt to find out more information on this matter.

''There has certainly been alot of confusion over why Castamir has been given the most important Job in Taselak when he had just lost his realm.  Many Taselakians believed that Penny was a worthier general, however for reasons that escape many, he now controls the forces of Taselak.  Sebastian has been rumoured to have joked about this, saying he will be the first man to lead two realms to defeat in a matter of months.  Although currently Castamir has been doing a highly successful job, he has led the Taselakian army to the victory and capture of the Cave of Guilt as well as defeating the Sandalakian looting partys to the north.  Whether his appointment will be ultimatley successful is still debatable.''

This was written just over a month ago and already the Taselakian war machine lies in ruins.  Castamir seams to have had a run of bad luck in the battles with Sebastian with several of his own nobles ignoring his orders and his battle settings.  The lack of leadership inside Taselak seems to be the cause of these problems.

The Sandalakian force came in waves on its attack on the stronghold, the first defeated after a brutal battle for the walls erupted.  With the miltia forces depleted the Sandalakian second wave crashed through and began to start a takeover, the Toren peasents attempted to rise up against the invaders but were quickly put down.  The Taselakian relief force attempted to lift the siege of the stronghold, however they were vastly outnumbered and were defeated.  The fleeing Taselakian army was then caught in Astin by a secondary strikeforce.  The Taselakian army was almost completeley wiped out by Sandalaks pincer movement.  As of yet no major Taselakian forces have come out of Taselak ready for battle.  Their army appears crippled.

Rebbelion in Taselak
Date: April 27th, 2006

Things seem to be rappidly falling apart in Taselak with several major battles lost consectutivley, suicidal attacks against a larger force when they control the region defences, random skirmeshes with Taselakian troops being hopelessly outnumbered and outmanourvered. It was inevitable that a rebbelion would be attempted however it was swiftly put down with the two of the rebel leaders executed by Penny while the third has fled to Sandalak. Moral is certainly low is Taselak, as these two letters show. People in Taselak realy dont like Castimir running things.


Our general has lost ground ever since he's been here, and he threw Ikalak City away in a suicide attack before he came here.

Now he's moving every TL he can as far east as he can. Guess what - when we get a few regions farther away, then Sandalak gets a chance to recruit, move to Taselak City, and attack it, all while our army is sitting on the eastern beaches.

I'll pass. We can't win by moving east every turn.

And if you don't think that we're about to lose a lot of troops due to having no money to pay them, and a lot more due to being cut off while we ran east, you aren't paying attention.

**** (Imperial Knight)


The only faith I have to restore this realm is in the Duchess Penny who has actually been doing something beneficial to Taselak.

I also back the fact that we do need a new High Marshall to command our troops. It is imperative that this be done as fast as possible so that we may rebound from the past tragedies. It seems that Castamir's plans of retaking Cirannor have BACKFIRED on us. By retaking it and having our forces defeated in Moeth and having us no other choice but to retreat, Sandalak forces were given the opportunity to loot the region thus giving them more supply for their army.

The last tax day yielded me only 27 gold. I'm not sure what we'll get out of it this week, but it may not be much. We have to prep for the worst.

And in order to help ourselves, a NEW General MUST be appointed or else our problems will just get deeper.

Castamir - Is the Daily Toren Biast?
April 27, 2006

There has certainly been alot of confusion surrounding the Daily Toren. People seem convinced that we are just spitting out Sandalak propoganda. This is makes no sence to me or the editing team as we strife 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 storys 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 biast, but because large events are more crucial then smaller ones.
