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 there 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!

Rebellion in Taselak

Date: April 27th, 2006 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 Sandalak. Morale is certainly low in Taselak, as these two letters show. People in Taselak really 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. **** (Knight of Taselak)''

Castimir Flees Island

May 20th, 2006 Castimir has been seen in old Rancugua after fleeing the South East Island. After leading Ikalak to defeat he was then appointed general of Taselak where he once again, led the armys he commanded to ruin after he was outsmarted by the Sandalakian general Sebatian. He has been the doom of both realms he has served in leading both into certain defeat, he may well go down as the worst General in history for his actions, and to remove what little shred of honour he had left, he has fled his realm rather then fight his enemies, even the Taselakian nobles now see him for what he realy is, a coward.
