 Dulbin de-invaded 31 August 1011

As we expected: Fontan has now been beaten in Dulbin. Vice Marshal Ravier Nebehn again lead the army with the king and duke Gregor also fighting fiercely on Westmoorian soil. Our army was slightly smaller than it could have been as several nobles including myself weren’t able to get to Dulbin in time, but better this then have Fontan scurry off back to Krimml , the den of infiltrators and thieves, without a good kicking.

There was also a minor battle in Evora where some fontanese archers lead by WhiteRanger DeGray tried to single handedly take Evora. Baron Feoran Lionheart did a wonderful job mopping these up with support from his extensive border militia guard. Fontan go home!

Kazakh falls to the elves!

Like a swarm of locusts the combined forces of Sirion and the Obsidian islanders swarmed onto the city of Kazach. Unlike the last time where Sirion attacked Oroya they instead decided to go straight for the Sultanate’s mother city breaking down the walls of the historic capitol. Sultan Viseslav Stublic was seriously wounded by the Elven hero Cimion Telerin's unit. The Sultanate was out numbered two to one in this battle and although we were unable to support them we wish them well.

Now of course as you know not having a capitol (or at least a capitol you can use) can present problems. The capitol is the forefront of the realm’s activities and is symbolic of the nation’s aims whatever they are. The biggest problem of course is that if you don’t have a capitol you can’t recruit any new soldiers until a new capitol has been selected. Sirion and the obsidian islanders will undoubtedly try and take this city leaving the Sultanate with very few options. One of course is to move the capitol to Oroya and try to continue the war from there. Option two is to hack out some kind of surrender terms which of course (if at all viable at this point) will be hopelessly destructive to the Sultanate’s lands and involve giving most of its territories away. I wouldn’t want to be in the Sultanate right now.

Aulius Severus wins Chancellor election in Fontan

On the same day as Fontan’s new defeat in Dulbin the nation has elected its new chancellor Aulius Severus of the scipii (former duke of Ashforth), whom bares the requirements of the new law passed by the previous chancellor, that any new ruler must have at least ten syllables in their names in total. We hope that Fontan and Westmoor will be able to come to some kind of an understanding with a new representative of the ancient and historic house of Fontan.

Evening News

What a busy day this was indeed! Just a few things to report, Fontan attempted to invade Commonyr (led by General Rhidana) but were beaten by General Arica and the militia of Commonyr even though we were outnumbered. The second is that we were incorrect about Lord Addonwy (yesterday's article) not having a ban placed upon him. He was executed today bringing justice to King Nightmare and Perdan as to the attack made against him. Negotiations between Ibladesh and the Caligun/Perdanese alliance can now continue albeit strained by Lord Addonwy’s actions.

 Dulbin invaded! 30 August 1011

The fontanese invaded Dulbin this morning where almost immediately the order for looting was given out. It seems even with a change in leadership Fontan is still determined to continue their war with us. Marshal Laicch Abliarsec lead the attack that we believe was only against peasants in the region.

For every action however there are consequences and at this point in the war Westmoor can really choose its targets rather than be limited by the fear of defeat. Needless to say demilitarizing Fontan to stop it doing further attacks is a high priority.

In other news: both Caligus and Ibladesh have sinse found themselves new Generals to lead their armies. High Marshal Althalos Von Ulthua is in charge of the armies of King Dobromir.
Paladin Primus Barzelli Sarracenia will be in charge of Pontifex Abraxas' armies.
Let’s hope they both have long fulfilling careers.

King Nightmare assassinated?

An attempted assassination was carried out on King Nightmare of Perdan yesterday much to the rage of the Perdanese government. The attack was carried out by infiltrator Addonwy Ap Rhodri a noble of Ibladesh. ][osferatu Reapers wrote to all the judges of East continent proclaiming Addonwy a dead man for whatever reason or reasons that he might be brought to justice again in the future. Due to the laws of the gods and in a similar vein to our problems with Zartos ut Daris the most that can be done to lord Addonwy by Perdan is a ban.

Similar attacks by Perdan have also been carried out against the former Pontifex Theuderik in the past so this is not the first or the last time that infiltrators will have left their mark on East continent. King Nightmare was severely wounded but his condition is currently stable. As our mother realm we wish Perdan all the best and hope that they catch this rogue. ][osferatu’s letter has been published on the letters page for all to see.

 Basilius resigns! 28 August 1011

News has reached us that Basilius Decimus has stepped down from the position of chancellor of Fontan. We don't know the exact details of what has happened but it seems clear, according funnily enough to the OI news, that he doesn't intend to stand again. So this brings about the question who is going to replace him in one of the nation's most difficult times? Fontanese politics is something we Westmoorians find a little hard to understand but the big candidates are likely to be those already within government.

Rhidhana Dubhaine holds the position of General and is probably our desired person to take up the mantal of Fontan what with our own General Arica finding her to be a positive face for Fontan (see letters page). The other members of the government include Justice Prandur and Fontan's Banker Zadek, also the dukes of Krimml and Ashforth Ariana and Aulus Severus whom was responsible for the defense of Ashforth city when we stormed it; but in Fontan's current state we could of course see a surprise at the election. The nation has been under great strain and that could result in any number of possibilities when the nobles set their ballots.

The question that Fontan really needs to address is its future. In the long term a realm with three regions and a city is not going to survive in the volatile enviroment of the east continent. Fontan also needs to start treating Westmoor as a credible threat and not ignore diplomacy if any progress is to be made. We would be interested as a paper to hear what the opionions of the Fontanese nobles are about their future on the continent.

 The Ground Shakes 27 August 1011

The Sirion army has been massing in the region of Tabost for some few days now. All as one they moved west passing through the city of Ashforth into the wasteland of Salta and are now moving up north towards Juazeiro and presumably the Sultanate’s northern city of Oroya. The army is so massive it makes the ground tremble with every step and beat of the drum.

Scout reports indicate that the Sultanate’s Sultan-General, Viseslav Stublic was caught up in Salta and is now hiding in the hills. Surely the Sultanate will not be able to defend from such a huge army as this: almost nine hundred infantry backed up by over three hundred Elven archers. Sirion’s new general Zakilevo Lapallanch seems anxious not to have a repeat of the Oroya incident back on the 16th. With such a huge army surely nothing now can stand in Sirion’s way .

 The South Burns 24 August 1011

If one were to describe our war against Fontan as a child hitting a baby with a stick then the war of Perdan and Caligus against Ibladesh really would be two giants hitting another giant with sledge hammers. The whole of the northern front of Ibladesh is burning and the realm is currently without a General. After seizing Igno the Caligun army marched today into Leibo defeating the inferior Ibladesh force there.

That is the trouble with these battles Ibladesh keeps losing. They are all battles where Ibladesh has a smaller force, of course numbers are not the only thing that decide a battle, but they certainly help!

Perdan has also now managed to get a good foot hold on Woolton as well as eating up most of what used to be the diocese of Aix. The people in the south of Ibladesh remain untouched but live in fear knowing that the north crumbles. The severe devastation can be seen in the number of rogue regions bordering the three realms. Ibladesh is running out of time to save itself.

 Victory in Dulbin 22 August 1011

Unless the situation in Fontan is even more delusional than it already is, both ourselves and Fontan would have known that their (Fontan’s) invasion of the south east of our realm was not going to work or last. Virtually no damage was done to our regions until Rhidhana Dubhaine’s defeat by the new Vice Marshal Ravier Nebehn and the Lord Treasurer in Dulbin.

Progress in Commonyr goes well with control reaching main and Oberndorf is also recovering speedily although there is still much to be done in both regions. There is still no word from Fontan (although one might have thought that there would be by now). Their stalling tactics of holding Ashforth from Sirion could possibly be an attempt to draw Sirion into this war. Due to certain legalities if we were to take Krimml from the Fontanese right now, they would no longer be able to hand over Ashforth to Sirion (see the letters page) which could damage our diplomatic standing with the elves.

However it goes without saying that this doesn’t stop us occasionally looting it and taking all the surrounding regions. Surely Sirion has a limit to its patience over such matters regarding Ashforth. However Fontan being as irrational as it currently is, what I said could be completely wrong. Maybe they just want to be suicidal.

 Commonyr once again part of Westmoor 20 August 1011

Once again Commonyr (albeit with some heavy resistance from the peasants) has joined Westmoor leaving Ashforth a starving city in the middle of nowhere. Ashforth is still a part of Fontan by the way. Over a month has passed since the original handover deadline. If Sirion had just performed a takeover their life would be so much easier right now. Never trust Fontan to do anything on time. Bookies are taking bets for it being done by winter festival.

Apart from the obvious advantages of another region this means we now have some of the best breweries on East continent! Let’s hope we can hold onto Commonyr this time which hasn’t been put into too bad a shape for once. Ironically this is partially due to the seven hundred peasants all of whom died or were wounded in today’s battle in Commonyr (not in regional news). These peasants stopped us looting the place yesterday and this morning. Had we been successful we would have caused a lot more damage to the region.

 Fontan Retaliates 19 August 1011

After several days of silence Fontan has retaliated against our takeovers in Commonyr and Oberndorf with a two part attack against Dulbin and Greatbridge. Surprisingly the bulk of their small army was sent against Greatbridge as you can see in regional news. Somehow we won even though we were outnumbered. Maybe this was down to disorganised line settings on the part of Fontan? Who knows in any case the presence of Fontan in Greatbridge is still large enough to be a threat to region security so some action will have to be taken either today or in the next few days to kick them back out. While Basilius lead the attack on Greatbridge minister for defence Lady Rhidana Dubhaine lead the successful attack on Dulbin with a small group of archers, however this was against angry peasants not soldiers.

These attacks by Fontan really are an act of desperation but may succeed in doing some small amount of damage. The attack seems to be designed more as a distraction than anything else. Half of their army stayed behind to defend Krimml which ,to be honest, we could just walk in and take at any time. The WC responded with a looting of Commonyr to speed up the change in government.

 Sultanate defends Oroya 16 August 1011

Today the Westmoorian column continues its takeover of Commonyr unopposed. You’ll be glad to know that while still wounded from the assailant, Arica is making a recovery and its expected her wounds should heal normally. Fontan has amassed a small defensive force inside Krimml of not much more than two thousand in combat strength but this is really nothing to be worried about. The WC has ten thousand CS in Commonyr alone.

While we were busy maintaining our two Fontanese regions the war between Sirion and the Sultanate continued with Sirion making a rather surprising military blunder. Sirion forces attacked the city of Oroya where a larger force of Soa troops were awaiting them. We don’t have the exact details of what happened but the Sultanate was the clear victor taking two Sirion nobles prisoner.

This does beg the question how can Sirion still have trouble with a realm a third of its own size and power? How can a realm of its size continue to leave regions rogue? It has been three months since the Sultanate was left as the only opponent and Sirion has not managed to take even one region from them. While the Sultanate’s courage cannot be faulted in resisting Sirion rule the rest of us on East continent start to wonder about Sirion. Is there internal politics going on? Just how can such a massive realm be that slow?

Just in, Sultan Viseslav had this to say:

"...Sultanate warriors are hardened veterans, used to pain and hardships and they have additional braveness when they are defending their own claims, and all of that give them additional boost in our battles of honor and resistance to dark powers."

 The 2nd invasion of Commonyr 15 August 1011

Once again the Westmoorian column has gone back into Commonyr, that region of countless barrels of red ale and party. The WC was virtually unopposed except for a few angry peasants who were quickly defeated. Soon after General Arica gave the order for a takeover of the region to begin. This is mostly in response to the fact that Fontan has still not reigned in its Saboteurs and Chancellor Basilus continues to defy both Sirion and Westmoor by failing to hand over Ashforth to the Sirion empire.

From Scribe reports, New Westmoor knows that Basilus was in the city early last week but has since dispersed, antagonizing the terms of the ultimatum handed out by Arica last month. If Fontan continues to be disruptive to both Sirion and Westmoor then they will face consequences for these actions.

General Arica stabbed... again!

Shortly after the successful invasion and the beginnings of the takeover General Arica was stabbed most probably by Akron Hyde. Akron now resides in the dungeons of Westmoor after attempting a similar attack on Liam York shortly after. Akron has been arrested and banished from Westmoor numerous times leading Ambassador Jor to call for his execution.

Twice before, Akron Hyde has been banished from our Kingdom for crimes against the Crown. More times than that he has returned when banished, from this continent as well as others.
He is a life long criminal. Mercy towards Sir Akron has been expended. Let his corpse hang from the gates of either Oligarch or Westmoor.
Jor Tanos, Ambassador of Westmoor

These events come along with the news that the rogue Zartos ut Daris has been back in Olligarch for the last few days helping himself to the gold in the tax vaults along with murdering members of the city guard. No doubt the lord just Antonius Turner will have much to do this week.

 Skirmish in Greatbridge 12 August 1011

The region of Greatbridge it seems continues to be the focal point of this pointless war Fontan is trying to wage. Fontan has next to no recruitment centres, regions in terrible shape and now that we’ve wiped out the remains of the army all they can really send is priests and infiltrators to bleed all over our dungeon floors.

Lord Treasurer Maliki Nautilus met a couple of Fontanese nobles in Greatbridge by chance while traveling through the region. The peasants who hate Fontan even more than we do were already up in arms and gladly assisted in placing a boot firmly (and a few pitchforks) on Ralina and Katsuyori’s backsides.

"While I was traveling through Greatbridge, I saw a horde of very angry, armed peasants. When I went to disperse them, my scout spotted a couple of Fontanese units, maybe lost or just despite to the point of suicide. I rallied these peasants and we smashed the Fontanese like sticks under my boot."

Possibly Fontan overestimated their combat strength by a few digits. Whatever the reason we're happy to send them packing back to Krimml.

 Closed Borders 11 August 1011

As the last few days have been quiet in the news department (Yorik has gained arthritis from twiddling his thumbs and has been prescripted a healthy dosage of leeches) it was suggested to me by Marshal Foxglove that I should write about the recent closed border treaty we signed against Fontan aptly named the Westmoorian Sovereignty Edict. The main part of this reads:

All Fontanese nobles, be they bureaucrats, soldiers, diplomats, or clergy, are restricted from our lands. Should they violate this edict, they are to be arrested on sight and their punish meted out as per the oversight of the Lord Justice.

That is of course presuming the Lord Justice doesn’t get stabbed or anything. So just in case anyone in Westmoor isn’t sure what to do when they see a Fontanese priest, we now have a piece of paper to tell them. Take that Fontan!

Bravo to our boys in Oberndorf

This is really just to report the incredible rapid success we’ve had with Oberndorf. Within eight hours of taking the region the control was described as “Main” and a lord was appointed. Reconstruction of the town and economy has been a bit slower but that’s to be expected as our soldiers aren’t great fans of civil work. None of this would have been possible without the huge response from the Westmoorian Column and our priests in the church of humanity on the ground Gaenm, Jor and Malos.

 Oberndorf joins the rose 9 August 1011

The great thing about taking a rogue region like Oberndorf from my point of view is that you don’t need to sign any death warrants. There is no local government and in the eyes of the continent any peasants that deem themselves worthy of the title “rogue” are traitors. How can peasants expect to rule themselves without the guidance of those of noble birth?

Thankfully this proceeded a lot quicker than that chaos we had back in Evora when we had to track down and remove the Caligus government. The Fontanese court had fled days ago when the region first went rogue which meant we didn’t have to go through the sticky process of bringing them to trial and executing them all.

Peasants will rebel against anything first Fontan and now they’re trying to rebel against us. Well I’ve set the ball rolling by hanging twelve rebel anarchists who want Oberndorf to be an independent region or something. Its best to get these tree hugging curs hanging from trees before they start sitting in them.

Oberndorf has long had a history of bloodshed and violence what with wars involving Rancagua, Sirion and Fontan. Not so long ago they actually declared themselves part of the Sultanate of Asena before they were handed back to Fontan. I’m hoping that Westmoor can restore some kind of a peaceful atmosphere but obviously that’s not going to happen for some time.

Lord Justice explains

There has been some conflict between our General, Marshal and the Lord Justice over the past few days. Today Antonius Turner revealed that the reason Zartos escaped is that he had managed to pay the hefty ransom of one hundred and twenty three gold pieces set by Westmoor court before he’d had a chance to inflict justice.

The lord justice also has responsibilities as a priest which can cause him to get wounded dealing with Flow of the balance fanatics. The Lady General Arica Maldives suggested that perhaps a Lord Justice was needed who would not be wounded as often to which the Lord Justice replied: “No different If I were on the battlefield with the army, I can get wounded just as easily. I don’t have any problems doing my job Lady General.”

Pressure will no doubt be on the Lord Justice to deliver next time such a situation arises.

 Zartos escapes? 8 August 1011

In what seems to be an embarrassing blunder for Westmoor Zartos ut Daris seems to have gotten away. It seems our judge Antonius Turner was wounded without our knowing in Bruck and was unable to pass any sentence on the infiltrator. However it still remains a mystery how Westmoor's most wanted managed to get away without any of us being told.

We wish the lord justice a swift recovery and hope he (when recovered) can shed some light on why we have never yet been able to place a ban on Zartos. There was widespread impatience across the realm that Westmoor was unable to hand our justice at such a crucial time.

 Zartos captured! 7 August 1011

Zartos ut Daris along with his infidel friend Akron Hyde have both been captured. Zartos must be getting over confident trying to rob Olligarch twice in one night, especially seeing as Olligarch currently has more militia in it than the whole of the WC combined. Akron definitely has a ban on him already I remember writing about him back at the end of June but I don't recall that the rogue Zartos has been caught by Westmoor before which could make handing out justice a little tricky.

Lord Justice Antonius Turner has yet to emerge from court and let us know what has been decided. General Arica and much of the nobility have been calling for harsh punishment on these curs. Considering the severity of Akron's crime he is likely to get deported. Zartos would be lucky enough to get away with anything other than an execution but this depends heavily on the ban and the laws of the ancient gods.

Obsidian News power rankings

The Obsidian News yesterday released the latest update on the power rankings of East Continent. This is after a month gap so the last time they did this was back in May. This seems like a good chance to recap on what's happened over the continent. Surprisingly Ibladesh has still managed to hold onto the number one spot although we can't imagine this lasting forever unless they start winning some battles. Westmoor remains in 5th place while Fontan has finally hit rock bottom after the Diocese of Axis was completely wiped off the face of the map months ago.

Wait wasn't there some adventurer going round killing monsters and claiming that the Diocese was still alive? Well he's gone now along with the rest of those tree folk. Caligus and Perdan swapped places as did the Sultanate and the Obsidian islands leaving the rankings:

"1st - Ibladesh :: 2ed - Sirion :: 3rd - Caligus :: 4th - Perdan :: 5th - Westmoor :: 6th - Sultanate of Asena :: 7th - Obsidian Islands :: 8th - Fontan "

Fontan looks set economically to contract further once Ashforth and Oberndorf change hands but Sirion, Perdan and Caligus all look set for some rather extreme expansion.

 Back into Oberndorf 6 August 1011

Once again we've headed back into Oberndorf this time with the intention of taking the region which went rogue earlier on today. Sirion soldiers and Basilus Decimus have been spotted in Ashforth, so we can only presume that Fontan is now handing over the city to Sirion which, in turn, will finally bring a conclusion to the terms of their peace treaty. If this take over is successful Fontan will be reduced to five regions when Ashforth is handed over.

Had Fontan signed a reasonable peace agreement with Westmoor months ago then it is likely they would not be in such a bad situation at the moment. As it is, Westmoor will likely ask for some boon to let Fontan off the hook. Oberndorf is possibly that comodity.

Apology from Talratheon family

In a bold move George Talratheon owned up to yesterdays killing spree in Commonyr submitting himself to the Lord Justice.

I George the III of House Talratheon, take full responsibility for the deaths of the Fontanese peasants in the region of Commonyr...

...I sincerely apologize for the embarrassment this may have caused to my fellow banner men and nobility in association...

Punishment if any has yet to be handed out.

 Murder in Commonyr 5 August 1011

While most of us are content to simply take gold and silver from the people of Fontan there will always be those who take their hate of the enemy to a more personal level. Someone from our realm murdered a number of peasants in Commonyr today against orders which were only for looting. Looting is a touchy subject in Westmoor and something we refrained from doing against Fontan until quite recently; however it is strictly against the law to murder peasants without military cause (unlike realms such as Perdan and Caligus to the south). The Realm council was quick to condemn the unknown culprit with harsh warnings coming from Marshal Foxglove and the Lord Justice Antonius Turner who promised to catch the culprit. Realistically the chances of catching this individual in wartime are pretty low unless he's stupid enough to try such an action again but hopefully the message is now crystal clear that this kind of attack is not tolerated in Westmoor.

The debate over Gabrael's crime did continue this morning but there has been no further word from either Gabrael or the lord justice who refrained from commenting further on the fine.

Zartos in Oligarch

Yes any excuse to get Westmoor's most wanted criminal splashed all over the front page. Zartos has been spotted in Olligarch with his usual trip to the tax office. He was fended off this time and narrowly escaped being caught. Nobles are recommended to do police work if they have time while civillians should lock and bolt their doors and windows. Infiltrators have to eat on the move and stealing food from peasants is certainly not above their despicable ways.

Priest arrested in Greatbridge

A Fontanese priest was arrested in Greatbridge today to the dislike of flow of the balence peasants all over Westmoor after being suspected of trying to cause civil unrest. It is quite possible the priest was attempting to cause a riot and create instability in the region however being Fontanese these days is warrent enough for any kind of arrest in Westmoor.

 Internal Dispute 4 August 1011

We were all rather surprised when a message was delivered to all nobles of Westmoor telling us that Gabrael Solostus Infiltrator of Westmoor had been arrested in Westmoor for attempting to count the Gold in the treasury.

Wait what?

This is the man who not so long ago ran for King and now finds himself in a prison cell opposite the chancellor of Fontan. With all the trouble we had from Fontanese assassins (and of course one Sirion) another attack isn't that surprising but from our own realm? The matter is however not as bizarre as it seems. It seems Gabrael impatient with the academies wanted to test his skills by attempting to count gold in Westmoor and notice of this was given to the lord justice Antonious Turner however only one hour before the event took place.

The lord justice has reacted with a fine of 75 gold pieces on Gabrael which the knight refuses to pay:

"I will pay no such fine. As promised I took no coin, and only took such action as a way to practice my skills whilst the academies were close, as they all too often are."

There were mixed reactions from different nobles of the realm. More on this story as it progresses.

 Arica returns 3 August 1011

General Arica today returned to active duty after recovering from the attack on her life a few days ago. In what is a bit of a shock to most of us the assassin was actualy not from Fontan but identified as Krabat van Belhanka from Sirion. The Sirion General has personally appologised to Arica for the attack and has assured us that the infiltrator will be punished for his crimes. This was however an unfortunate thing to happen while relations with Sirion and Westmoor were improving. All nobles of Westmoor are to alert the authorities if they see any suspicious figures in the realm especially the Fontanese infiltrator Zartos ut Daris who is still wanted for the attack on our king last month.

Fontan's future?

Fontan is in a very difficult position at the moment (more so than usual). Firstly their chancellor should have signed the handing over of Ashforth to Sirion weeks ago and is now in jail in Westmoor. You may think this is slightly inconsiderate of us but we can't help pointing out that we picked him up in Greatbridge which is nowhere near Ashforth. At this point the question arises if we did release him would he actualy go to Ashforth or would he continue to try and rally armies against us? If Ashforth isn't handed over to Sirion soon what would Sirion's reaction be? Send in the Red Dragons and take it by force? Fontan's diplomatic position is really at the moment very bad. Their new big friend Sirion seems to be rather less interested in being their friend than they might have thought.

In any case thanks to Ambassador Jor we now have a copy of Basilus' speech in Greatbridge yesterday which we'll post for you on the letter's page.

 Krimml falls! 2 August 1011

In what was a slightly undramatic battle, Krimml was completely overrun within a few hours today. The Westmoorian collumn showed incredible dedication by having every single one of its units in the correct formation by the time the battle started. Similarly to the battle of Ashforth the collumn opened with archer fire but this time lacking General Arica who is still recovering from her wounding. However even though our archers were much smaller in number Fontan had no archers of its own to return fire. Some confusion broke out in Fontan's ranks and noble Erwin Gall broke rank along with a number of peasants and performed a brave by suicidal charge at our front.

With the gate down the Collumn was able to charge straight into Krimml and massacre the remainder of the Fontanese army. Scouts reported Zadek noble of Fontan at the rear of the castle with two calvary in a wedge formation (presumably one in front of the other?).

With the city taken Marshal Thomas Foxglove gave out orders to damage the wall ready for further assaults. Westmoor has proven once more that it will not sit still while realms such as Fontan attack it in this case both politically and militarily.

Basilus in chains!

Basilus apparently gave some kind of speech in Greatbridge today, what this contained I do not know however he was still there when our army arrived and was rather quickly captured. With Basilus safely locked away in our dungeons (before he causes any more mayhem) is it too much to ask that the people of Fontan elect themselves a new chancellor? In the meantime Basil needs to be fed while he's here (hopefully not too often) so voting will be held shortly before each mealtime about what we should feed him. I hear Rat soup is first up prepared specially in Salta (the regional dish).

 Gregor saves Greatbridge 1 August 1011

In what can only be described as epic Duke Gregor Relak took his massive unit of some 180ish infantry met with some angry peasants and defeated Fontan with some help from Feoran's unit of archers. Katsuyori Takeda (noble of Fontan) was seriously wounded in this battle.

Basilus Decimus our most cheesed off foe was also present at the battle presumably taking time out from his long and laborious journey to hand over Ashforth to Sirion. Whatever the case we can only inform you that you were going in the wrong direction! Ashforth is up north you may have had the map upside down.

Our congratulations go out to Gregor for winning the second battle of Greatbridge or as historians seem to be filing it as... the battle of Gregor.
