Tournaments, Wars, and Rebellions By Relkin Sypher September 5th '07

King Dead Angel3 has called a Tournament in Shanandoah. As the first Tournament for a long time the event is bound to attract a large crowd. While the war continues between Norland and Minas Ithil, there remains little activity on that front. King Dead Angel3 has offered peace to the Norlanders, but so far they seem steadfast in their desire to take our northern regions from us and rape, pillage, and plunder the rest of our realm.

Sir Magnus the Mighty the Duke of Wayburg, seceded from Abington in the last days of Mad King Gauihu the Last King of Abington. His duchy now calling itself Caergoth. Soon after two rebellions occured in Abington, the first failing and the second suceeding. Before the end of Abington however Spiritmonger had been executed, sealing the fate of the ill-fated fledgling realm of Aquitaine. Rumor has it that during the second rebellion, lead by High Marshall Xuanye, the Mad King fled the palace without any supporters left. With the Mad King gone, the former High Marshall Xuanye Aisin Gioro declared himself Prime Minister of Abington and the government has been reformed as a republic. Xuanye has stated that Caergoth will not be dealt with the same way as Aquitaine, but that remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, Redspan has two regions left, and they are no longer connected. Its armies have been crushed, its regions occupied by hostile forces. Information is sketchy but it appears that without some divine intervention the end of Redspan has come. Against four other realms and with their only Federation partner lead by the Mad King Redspan had little chance from the start.
