Poor Reasoning for a Petty War
City of Kalmar, November
Old Rancagua has once again managed to amaze the whole Continent and leave everyone in awe with their creativity and their severity! The reasons presented in front of the Rulers of the whole Continent in the attempt to justify the current War between the warmonger Kingdom of Old Rancagua and the peaceful Realms of Avamar Selective and Kalmar Islands have left everyone speechless as for not knowing how to react.
The report coming directly from the archives of Old Rancagua's Government indicate the importance of their condition and the necessity of mental assistance to the People of their lands. A statement by Lord Rats solely based on lies and... common sense... had left everyone wondering if it is only him or more of his kind exist in the miserable Kingdom. The young blood of Avamar's Selective Nobility was upset by the statement of Lord Rats and has denounced the bias from his part to dare and label as enemies of Old Rancagua every member of Avamar Selective and Kalmar Islands regardless of their origin and their kind attempts for peace. Lord Rats proving to feed a long time hatred against a dead Realm proves to be an obstacle for better relations between the mentioned above Realms.
The continuing efforts of Kalmar Islands and Avamar Selective for a prosperous and peaceful future have been dealt with the specific statement coming from Old Rancagua's part. Why Old Rancagua keeps rejecting the frequent unconditional peace offers? Simple! They have to deal with...
If you have no reason, better not try to create one or at least do not claim to have any. Really, the crime of being an Islander, as stated in the Reasons is a serious offence. Maybe even more serious than having blue eyes, dark skin,or weighted over 77.5 kilos. Maybe even more severe than writting with your left hand!
The specific statement of reasons caused laughs at Kalmar Islands, anger but also amusement at Avamar Selective, boredom to the other realms and... like always made Old Rancagua look like fools again.
When will this finally stop?

"Kalmar Islands or Avamar Selective?"
|
| The Birth of a Realm
The Kalmarians, after continuous disputes amongst the Nobility and a chain of votings and counter votings, have taken the final decision to separate the realm and give a chance to the creation of a brother realm. Monarchists and Democrats of Kalmar Islands have been clashed many times during the process of separation and they have forced the Government to immediate implementation of the People's Will without any further delay.
A new realm is born in the Northern Island having Kalmar City as its capital.
Welcome Avamar Selective!

| The Betrayal of an Ideal
|
| "Hide from the double-faced snakes!"
After the Duke of Kalmar City, Lord One Rogala has been trusted for the second time with the public vote and the implementation of the plan, he seceded the City and everyone was left with a big surprise. The double-faced snake betrayed the People and his Comrades once again and instead of a Democratic or Republican Government as the People wished, he founded a tyrannical Theocracy after appointing his best friend Lord Tasadar Bladefist as the Haruspex Maximus of Avamar Selective, stripping of their titles those that were elected like Lady Ammeria and appointing as Lords his evil supporters.
Together they started banning and executing every Noble of Avamar Selective who dared to defy them or even doubt them. Not following the paranoid suicidal orders of the Council was not an option and speaking your opinion out loud was forbidden. A new dark era has been risen in East Continent for both Avamar Selective and Kalmar Islands, and Pontifex One was the Pantocrator.
Dark clouds covered the sky above the Islands and the brave heroine Krystalia that traveled all the way to the continent only to join the new realm, was executed after showing her great courage by daring to protest the mad Pontifex. Other banned and captured nobles were waiting for their turn, burried deep in the dungeons of the obssesed judge Tasadar and a reign of terror begun.
May those brave, innocent souls rest in peace!

| Where the mad Pontifex has gone?
|
| How a higher Ideal can surpress Paranoia
After the heroic efforts of a well coordinated Movement within Avamar Selective the mad Pontifex had been overthrown and Lady Althea took over the role of a temporary Pontifex. Lord One after being overthrown continued to cause major problems to Avamar Selective, but this time from the position of Duke of the Capital. He took full advantage of his Royal rank and refused to step down from the Dukeship. Step by step he destroyed both the Recruitment Centers and the Paraphernalia Centers of the Capital, razed a Guildhouse and started threatening to disband every militia from the City. It was obvious that he was planning to surrender the Capital to the enemy forces of Old Rancagua, but even if not, he did well to weaken Avamar Selective the most possible. Stora was lost during his Dukeship.
His supporters left him. Tasadar avoided persecution and death by leaving the continent, the General commited suicide and Gnaeus was executed in Fontan (an act of compassion that was celebrated in Avamar and Kalmar)
Rogala continued to harass the realm, despite the almost daily assasinations attempts by the Avamarian infiltrators. Fortunately though, everything ended well after One's mysterious disappearence... His Treason will always be remembered and redemption will come only with his execution!

| A Briefing on the Political Situation in the People's Republic of Avamar
- The long devastating war between Northern and Southern Alliance has concluded with the overwhelming victory of the North. During this war several realms, like Avamar, Oligarch and Rancagua, were destroyed, while others like Ubent and Caligus were crippled after surrendering. Perdan however, managed to maintain a sovereign and key role in the continent.
- Old Rancagua gets smashed... again! Despite of them being severly weakened, the Avamarians have regained Stora and with scarce troops along with their brothers from Kalmar Islands have managed to crash the Old Rancaguan Army once again. How Old Rancagua can be so incompetent, not able even to hold a piece of land, having double strength than the defenders?
- The greatest tournament ever was held in Sirion to celebrate the almost entire peace that the East Continent was experiencing for first time. But as long as there are realms still engaged in war, universal peace will only remain a dream. Moreover, recent reports are indicating that Sirion won't reamain at peace for long, proving to some hardcore anti-Sirionites in the Continent that the Elven realm is the true threat to peace, not being able to live without a war for long. Other reports indicate a movement of supporters to the former Sirionite Ruler, Sir Doc Primus who is now considered as the true Peacemaker and not the Warhawk of the past.
- Lady Indira made a universal call for peace. However her request was met as always by arrogance and empty threats spoken by King Dekion. His reasoning for the decline of the peace offer or at least of a cease fire, contributed a lot to the already Poor Old Rancaguan "Reasons for War". Namely, Dekion provided the below crimes (copied by his official letter) in addition to those we have already described (see article): 1. "Your realm is not a democracy, it's a theocracy!" (comment by the author: and as we know Thecoracies and Monarchies are incompatible!) 2. "It is also an abomination realm that I will not let survive." (comment by the author: for some reason Dekion consider his enemies abominations...oh well!) 3. "I had a hand in destroying Avamar once before." (comment by the author: old habits can't be given up easily!) 4. "You were not here when the realm of Kalmar was forcibly TO and the rightful leaders were exiled from their homeland..." (comment by the author: we can conclude that Dekion was here from the beginning of time!) 5. "I do not care if there is still only 1 living refugee from the original Kalmar Island nation, I shall fight for them and the word I have given them!" (comment by the author: what a honorable man! Dragging 150 nobles in a war because he gave his word to 1 living refugee! Impressive!)
