Palnasos sacked, as Eastern Alliance retreat on all fronts
April 3, 2006- Palnasos, the former capital of the ancient empire of Svunnetland was sacked by the armies of Nighthelm. In a huge siege of the city, 10000 CS of Mobile forces assaulted the mighty Fortress walls of Palnasos, sweeping the defenders away like the tide and seriously wounding Morthwyl, the Royal Treasurer of Svunnetland and Duke of the Svunnetlandian capital of Ipsosez, who, it seems was charged with the defence of the city.
This attack comes as a direct result of the attack which Svunnetland made against Nighthelm's closest ally, in the Antoza Commonwealth, a few days ago. In a speech made prior to the attack, Gul'Dan, the King of Nighthelm conluded his declaration of hostilities with,
"Moving into someone elses lands whenever it suits them is a common trend for Svunnetland under any Ruler. Call it a "mistake" but killing the militia in a region as a "mistake" deserves a return favour.
In support of her allies, Nighthelm moves to relieve the tension caused by Svunnetland. We'll see you at sunrise."
Gul'Dan King of Nighthelm
At this time, it is unknown to the Press whether Nighthelm will press their advantage with further movements into other Svunnetland held regions surrounding Ipsosez, but it is clear that Nighthelm has entered the war, on the side of the Triple Alliance (Lasanar, Ethiala, Antoza Commonwealth). This can only mean bad tidings for Taith Aenil and her allies, what with their crushing defeat at the hands of Ethiala and Lasanar in Ornaz, Arcaea's loss of Orbeh and Svunnetland's major defeat in Palnasos, Orphen, Hoshi and Bleys must be considering a conditioned surrender.
Ornaz held!
April 1, 2006- Today the combined armies of Zonasa and Taith Aenil have been routed by Ethiala's finest, and advance elements of the Lasanarian army. Dis-unified and divided, the "allied" forces of the Principality, and Taith Aenil amassed a force of 8000 CS to attempt a last ditch effort at driving Ethiala from their former region of Ornaz. However, with unmistakable ease, the utterly unfied and fortified defending troops smashed Orphen's loyalists, leading to what must be considered as one of Taith Aenil's and the Principality's worst defeats ever. At a ratio of 4 to 1, the Ethiala's slaughtered those who would encroach upon our territories, forever breaking the Taith Aenilian stranglehold of the region.

Defender Victory!
Unfortunately our work is not done, for, in accordance with the promise laid down at the beginning of this war, we must now move to Larmebsi, to finish the job, and force Taith Aenil to bow out of this war. Let us hope also, that in the process, the Taith Aenilians will realise that Orphen is the cause of their troubles, and rid themselves of him once and for all.
