Double Hunts: Military Actions in West and North
Following the mass up of the army in Greatbridge, General Lycastus has revealed his intention that the army shall be divided into two, one to the west and the other head for the north. The plan was kept as a highly secretive one, and details are scratchy even until now, but it is generally believed that the targeted regions are northeast Perdan, in response to the constant crys for helps from Pontifex Sorcha of Ibladesh, and the north Oligarchian city of Ashforth, which is poorly defended and shall be easily conquered under the coalition forces of Sirion and Fontan.
UPDATE: News has been confirmed that the first wave of the forces which embarked towards the west earlier have done well on their looting business in Westmoor and Troyes, along with a successful demolition of a level two fortification down to level one in Bescanon. However reports have shown that Ubentians will likely intervene with their army once again, by reinforcing the Perdan defending troops, and the General has asked the forces in Bescanon to stay alert. The second wave is now stationing in the wartorn region of Oberndorf and waiting for further orders. The Fontanese Digest would like to bid our brave warriors good luck, and hope all our noble kinghts return home with glory victories at hands.
A Star Fallen: East Continent Mourned the Death of King Eleran of Yssaria
Shocking words spread throughout the whole continent that Eleran the Count, reverend and adored King of Yssaria since its earliest day of foundation, was slain on the battlefield in Winkamus 22nd night. Government officials of Yssaria later confirmed this sorrowful news to the Fontanese Digest, sobbing that King Eleran received a poisoned arrow on his neck from Eagles Reach, the awesome High Marshal of Caligus, and failed to escape the hands of the Fates this time. The Caligan Marshal was reported to be seriously wounded later by Edvard the Deacon, brother of Eleran, who was enraged by the scene and managed to throw the Marshal over a high cliff with bare arms. Friends and foes all over the continent, including Queen Gwynyth of Caligus and Grand Justiciar Faragorn of Ubent, condoled the heroic death of the great leader. According to the dying words of Eleran, the realm of Yssaria shall be entrusted to High Marshal Prandur, who was elected later to the throne with a majority in votes. The exact time of the King's state funeral in Yssarian capital is still pending, but expected to be held soon. The Fontanese Digest wishes King Eleran a tranquil path to the Realm of Passed Heros, and hopes Yssaria lives long and prosper under the leadership of the new King.
"There aren't many Kings that choose the path of a hero. I'm proud to have served under Eleran." - Sir Adran, Noble of Yssaria
"In the fever of fight we forget how fragile life is. The death is always a surprise. In the long and heavy war, the opponent rised in our eyes to the shape of a scary and invincible demon, but he is the same mortal human, suffering the pain or enjoying the delights with the same senses. We are equal in front of the Death. Rest in peace Lord Eleran the Count, my most honourable opponent." - Gwynyth, Queen of Caligus
"...Today is a sad day, but we turn another leaf in the life of Yssaria, one great leader is gone only to be replaced by the man chosen by his greatness. Raise your heads Yssarians. Our king has left this life, our new king is in your presence. Raise your swords to our new king. To Prandur!!!!" - Achilles, Royal Treasurer of Yssaria
"All doughnuts in Isadril will use black frosting for a month in honour of our late King Eleran." - Rackir, Duke of Isadril
