Ikalakian Times Second Edition

= Taselak Invasion forces defeated! =
Date: October 30th, 2006

Taselak threw a way its army in a wasted looting party and an attack on Sandalak city. In this two part attempted ambush, Taselak moved aproximatley half its force into Aldrelhia completley ignoring the takeover in Saenna and preceaded to loot for the next few days in an attempt to draw out the force in Sandalak city. However looting Aldrelhia, currently Ikalaks lowest income provider proved to be fruitless and when the force moved out of Aldrehia deaper into Ikalak they were cut down. Eventually Taselak manouvered its troops back into Aldrelhia when the Ikalakian force posted in Sandalak moved to oppose them however at the same time the other half of Taselaks army moved on the city itself in a suprise attack.

This however is when details get sketchy, all that is known to be the true is that Taselak arrived at Sandalak city but no battle occured. According to local peasents a massive storm is said to have appeared between the two forces making visability impossible. Believeing a small outskirting village was actually Sandalak the Taselak army set up camp while mildly bemused Ikalakian nobles looked out through the walls wondering why the Taselakian army had not attacked. This however is when disaster struck Ikalak. A massive lightning bolt is said to of struck the duke of Sandalak, Moonglum down, coinciding with these events several Taslekian nobles were also hit and were said to be in serious condition. Apparently several Taselakian nobles had managed to find several rare artifacts rumoured to contain powerfuls magiks. Local peasents claim that some of these nobles attempted to lift the storm using these weapons however such magiks are unstable resulting in the unnatural thunderbolts. When the storm finnaly lifted Taselak relised the city they had thought they were occuping was actually a minor outskirting village, realising there foley they moved on Sandalak city. When they arrived however they were utterly slaughtered by the reinforced army of Ikalak that had returned from Aldrelhia. They are currently fleeing for there very lives into the safety of Gwohadda. During this time the remains of the Taselakian looting party still hiding in Adrelhia were mericlessly cut down by a small strike force from Saenna. It remains to be seen how Taselak plans to fend of both Ikalak and Toren with a heavily depleted army.


Magic and Mayhem!
Date: October 30th, 2006

After yesterdays fraek fog and thunderstorm believed to be caused by magical weapons weilded by Taselak troops resulting in the death of the great hero of Ikalak - Moonglum. More unusual happenings have appeared. Today every single noble found themselves unable to move to a different region, unable to fight there enemy or even to hunt them down. The only thing that did suceed was a brutal takeover of Lestem from Toren. Perhaps the gods themselves are angry at us? Is an island constantly at war to much for even themselves to control? Only time will tell if these strange occurences will continue. Taselak have blamed Ikalak for the goings on claiming that obviously Sandalak city was flooded with witches and warlocks csting spells esulting in there defeat. The simple truth is one can not hope to beat an army behind a moat with a palisade wall with only ONE siege engine. Taselak should review there tactics when assaulting walls and perhaps relise that all these strange events could be related to there magical weapons they seek to use? As far as this editor is aware Taselak are the only forces on the island currently weilding such weapons capable of casting dangerous magiks such as these.


Current politics
October 30th, 2006

The political balance in the South-East Island has changed dramatically in the past month with death of two of the greatest heros of the first SEI war and the appointment of two new rulers. Zack the Great was elected priminister after Moonglum stepped down bringing with him new ideas and changes in the hierarchy of Ikalak. Mischa was declared Queen of Taselak after Penny was killed in the heat of battle.

The death of Moonglum duke of Sandalak - former Priminister of Ikalak; struck down by a freak lightning bolt has the realm currently in mourning wondering if there is a possible way he can return; and Penny - Queen of Taselak dieing in battle to a massive Toren army that outnumbered her own in strength 2-1. This had led to Mischa taking the throne and Penny's sister Yanzi arriving on the Island challenging Phear - Pontifex of Toren to a duel to the death in honour of her sisters name.

Mischa Queen of Taselak was not elected for long however as Cronus was elected King of Taselak earlier this week. We will give you more details on this when we are better informed.



Taselak Tribune
Date: October 30th, 2006

The Ikalakian Times welcomes the Taselak Tribune to the list of official papers. Although there are technically 5 papers only the Ikalakian Times has covered this war... Until now; with a new layout and at least 3 editors, Taselak has finnaly created its own paper - a paper that looks quite competetive but is already contradiciting itself.

The editors are still confident that our proud realm will stand fast against the hordes of enemies, and we hope that many nobles will be able to join in the celebration of the finest and, above all most balanced paper to grace the South-East Island. Written by: Jet on 30th October '06 Iniatially this looked like a fair comment to make as no great political biasism was in the paper, however it seems another editor has withdrawn that statement... This newspaper would also like to clear one thing up. We are TOTALLY biased towards Taselak and have no pretensions otherwise. For an unbiased read, please go elsewhere. Thank you. Written by: Dennis on 31th October '06

Reguardless, i hope you continue to write your contradicting statements Jet and Dennis as well as your interesting if slightly fanciful articles about your view of this war.

From an Toren Noble, The war seems to be going along fine. We are regaining regions lost, but some wonder where is Ikalak? They haven't done very much to help. We await you!
