Update on Abington Rebellion

August 15th 07

By Relkin Sypher

The Ash Sea Islands has declared war on the newly formed state of [Aquitaine] a mere day after its formation. While Tara, Caligan Empire and Talerium have all signed peace agreements with the new realm. Additionally, more information regarding the factors that lead to the creation of Aquitaine have become available. Based on that information, Countess Katherine of Cheltenborne has speculated that the order of events was as follows:

1) Gaiuhu suggests Spiritmonger doing little on the council.

2) Spiritmonger does not respond.

3) Gaiuhu kicks him off the council.

4) Spiritmonger protests (probably realm wide)

5) Gaiuhu tells him to step down, and threatens if he doesn't.

6) Probably more protesting.

7) Gaiuhu calls for a ban of Spiritmonger.

8) Spiritmonger joins rebellion to break away from Abington.

9) Gaiuhu investigates him and finds he was part of the rebellion.

10) Rebellion happens in Riverholm.

Rebellion in Abington

August 14th 07

By Relkin Sypher

Riverholm and the surrounding regions of Wynford, Rustton, and Lanston apparently have rebelled from Abington. The new state is calling itself Aquitaine. It is expected that the small kingdom will not last long without significant outside support. Meanwhile, Abington will be distracted from defending what is left of Redspan.

A brief summary of the wars around Atamara.

8th August 2007

Redspan lost a battle in Atblane today despite Abington's help in their fight against the alliance of Cagilan Empire, Carelia, Talerium,and Tara. At this rate one wonders if Redspan will be able to survive. With the might of 4 kingdoms arrayed against it Redspan must be quite nervous. Even the might of Abington might not be enough to save it. Eston and its allies appear to be in a standoff with Falasan. Some fighting occured at the border several days back but reports indicate that the main armies of each was not involved. The battle between Falasan and Eston appears more complex and each side will have to be creative if they want to win. Relkin Sypher
