Another week, another victory. Norland has attacked Elost while Minas Ithil continues a takeover in Barad Riel. With almost 800 troops facing nearly 1,200 defenders Norland was outnumbered from the beginning. The palisade in Elost had been newly repaired so Norland met fierce resistance from the start and ended with nearly 700 dead and wounded. Minas Ithil dead and wounded was an estimated mid three hundred. Congratulations on victory to all the defenders.
The takeover of Barad Riel meanwhile continues uninterrupted. The York Journal is hopeful that the process will be completed in the next few days. The takeover is being personally overseen by the King.

In order to keep up with events here in Minas Ithil as well as across Atamara, the York Journal is inviting interested nobles to apply for positions as reporters. The Journal is interested in both one-time contributors and ongoing writers. Those interested should contact Relkin Sypher, Viscount of Winham.
| War spreads thoughout Atamara | By Relkin Sypher | March 5th '08 |
Cagilan Empire has declared war on Falasan. Federated partners Ash Sea Islands and Protectorate of Magnus find themselves under attack from an alliance of Carelia, Darka, Tara, Suville, and Caergoth. Eston has also declared war on Ash Sea Islands and Protectorate of Magnus but has not attacked to the Journal's knowledge. Already the city of Aja has fallen to Taran occupation.
With war this widespread there will be many tales of valor and villainy. Sir Moses, Hero of Ash Sea Islands, Royal Treasurer of Ash Sea Islands, Duke of Wor'ight died in battle at Wynford. He died a heroic death, defending his comrades in the face of overwhelming numbers.

Amriel has joined Minas Ithil. The takeover was mostly peaceful with many of the peasantry proclaiming their desire to join Minas Ithil. Meanwhile, the region of Melmoor has rebelled from our control. The heavy looting by primarily the Barony of Makar as well as being cut off from the rest of the realm contributed to the rebellion.
Field Marshall Francis has thus replaced the loss of Mansbridge and Melmoor with Amriel and Elost. The two new regions have the added advantage of being close to Shanandoah.
