Sirion Advances?

March 26, 1011 Noticing a gathering of both Fontan and Westmoor units gathering in Commonyr, the Sirion War Machine pushed into battle against the incoming reinforcements. Meeting on the battlefield of Commonyr it was a close match, consisting of Sirion holding a very slight advantage. By now though, most have realized one main thing...Sirion advantage almost always means a Sirion victory, this was no exception either. Westmoor and Fontan troops soon met an untimely loss on the battlefield, as Fontan fights for it's very survival, and Westmoor fights to keep them alive and avoid being the next on the chopping block.

Double the Ibladesh

March 24, 1011 Ibladesh in not one, but two large battles in two different regions. The first we will mention is the Ibladesh and Diocese of Aix against Perdan. Perdan had recently taken over the region of Beziers which was rogue at the time. After securing a blockade of Aix and trapping troops of Diocese of Aix and Ibladesh, the wheels of war were set into motion as Ibladesh sent up a relief force. After both sides prepared for battle, Ibladesh and Diocese of Aix proved to be to much for Perdan as the tide of battle ended in favor of the federation. The next battle was Caligus advancing on the Ibladesh position in Abadan. Though it is unconfirmed, it is said that the Caligus forces joined up with some rogue forces, being monsters or undead we do not know, to attack Ibladesh as well. With a valient effort, and larger numbers, Ibladesh was able to pull out a second, major victory, at the same time of the same day. A huge congratulations to the Ibladesh armies, fighting on two fronts and winning huge victories.

The Foothold

March 24, 1011 After days of attempting a take over in Kazan, the Army of Obsidian Islands was finally successful. With this, Kazan is finally flying the Obsidian Islands banner once again, rejoining the realm they belong with. The Obsidian News is extremely proud to welcome Kazan back under the Obsidian Islands banner. How the Sultanate of Asena will react to losing such a vital region...we will see.

The End of Fontan?

March 22, 1011 After years and years of fighting...a war most said would never see an end...Sirion seems to have come out on top, having a crushing victory over Fontan in their capital, Krimml. The battle happened as a small portion of the Sirion army stayed behind in Braga to finish the take over there as well. Is this the end of Fontan? One must think they have a small chance with Ashforth still in their control along with a few rural regions...but after losing so much, including their namesake city and now their capital, it seems they are in a peace or die trying situation. Best of luck Fontan, from everyone here at the Obsidian News!

Ibladesh Returns

March 22, 1011 Just one day ago Perdan had marched, nearly unopposed into Al Arab. However this did not go unnoticed by Ibladesh who then quickly set their defenses again and put up new troops for the city, and put down the Perdan army from within.

Perdan Marches Again!

March 21, 1011 Recently Perdan destroyed nearly every Diocese of Aix region except for perhaps Aix itself. Following this, many believed that Perdan would focus on finishing their enemy quickly before marching to help Caligus against Ibladesh. Of course this must have been what Ibladesh thought as well since they left their city, Al Arab open for the Perdan army to march in! With no link to the city Perdan has no hope of a TO, so what is their goal? Turn the city rogue? Keep an eye on reports, you never know what will happen next!

Kazan Inbound!

March 21, 1011 The Army of Obsidian Islands has landed on the shores of Kazan and quickly removed the small resistance in the area. Shortly after a take over the region was started, it is expected to be a drawn out process, but in the end Kazan will fly the Obsidian Islands banner once again.

Interviews?

March 21, 1011 The Obsidian News is looking to conduct interviews with anyone and everyone across the continent. Have something you want the world to know? Just got out a huge battle and want to tell the world how it went? Just attacked by an infiltrator, or you are the infiltrator that just took out a target and want to brag? We take all kinds of interviews, contact your local Obsidian News to set up an interview asap.

Perdan's Answer

March 17, 1011 Perdan moved it's army into Beziers, attacking a mix of Diocese of Aix and Ibladesh troops. With a huge advantage it is said that Perdan crushed the mixed troops in Beziers, leaving very little in their wake. What is the next step? Shall Perdan march on Aix? Will the Diocese of Aix have enough to turn the tides? Is Ibladesh to committed to the Caligus front? Many questions, few answers...time does not tell us enough.

Numbers Aren't Everything

March 13, 1011 To defend their newly acquired region of Abadan from Caligus, Ibladesh sent, roughly 940 troops into the region while Caligus was defending their take over with roughly 1200 troops. Now usually one would assume the side with the larger amount of troops (1200 Caligus in this case) would win and considering the large gap, quite easily. However the Ibladesh troops refused to lose! They faced defeat right on the battlefield and struck it down as they drove away the Caligus forces in a huge battle. With Ibladesh driving into Caligus with such might, one must wonder if there is anything Caligus can do to stop or even slow them down.

Ibladesh Pushes Forward

March 11,1011 Ibladesh pushed into Caligus lands once again, invading Abadan. With an overwhelming attack, Ibladesh successfully went into Abadan and defeated the Caligus military. This led to an Ibladesh take over in the region, which was successful. The people of Abadan are now hailing Ibladesh as their government. Is this the end of a long standing stalemate or just a temporary hold?

Rogue Take Overs

March 11, 1011 It would seem there are some regional maintenance problems around the continent, as Lorient revolted from Diocese of Aix, Moyale from Ibladesh, Bisciye from Perdan, An Najaf from Caligus, and Mines of Isadril from Caligus. The rogue regions spread, especially on the southern part of the continent, are the war intensifying or are the people tired of the fighting?

A Call for Recruits!

March 8, 1011 Earlier today, and during the week, it is been said that the Obsidian Islands are offering high gold rewards to anyone who joins their cause and even more if they bring a strong unit to help in their war. The hope is simple - bring in more nobles and stronger army units to win the war.

Even Numbers?

March 8, 1011 With The Federation and The Alliance meeting to battle nearly everyday, this reporter decided to look at the stats and figure out exactly how each side stood against the other. These numbers are, of course, slightly off and should not be taken to be exactly correct. "The Federation" - 128,500 combat strength, with 55 regions and 227 nobles. "The Alliance" - 127,000 combat strength, with 59 regions and 250 nobles. With these numbers in mind, it would seem "The Federation" is currently holding a slight combat strength advantage over "The Alliance" while "The Alliance" is holding the advantage in nobles and regions. Quite an evenly matched continental war, which side will use their advantage more effectively? This reporter hopes to report this in later issues, or perhaps even later in this one.

Federation VS. Alliance

March 8, 1011 It is well known what the current wars are: Caligus Wars Ibladesh - Diocese of Aix - Fontan - Sultanate of Asena - Westmoor Obsidian Islands War Sultanate of Asena Perdan Wars Diocese of Aix - Ibladesh Sirion Wars Sultanate of Asena - Fontan Westmoor Wars Caligus Diocese of Aix Wars Perdan - Caligus Ibladesh Wars Caligus - Perdan Fontan Wars Sirion - Caligus Sultanate of Asena Wars Obsidian Islands - Sirion - Caligus Now with all of this in mind, it would seem two blocks have been created on the East Continent, one which will be known as "The Federation" which includes Ibladesh, Diocese of Aix, Sultanate of Asena, Fontan and Westmoor. On the other side of things stand "The Alliance", which includes Sirion, Caligus, Perdan, and Obsidian Islands. Two sides, both fighting to prove they are better, they are stronger, and of course...the side that wins will be proven to be "right".

Assassins Strike

March 7, 1011 During war it is not uncommon for infiltrators, or assassins, to be used against the enemy realm. This certainly seems to be the case when it comes to the enemies of Diocese of Aix. Recently both their Patriarch Zoe Agenor and Paladin Primus Lamorak Ap Rhodri where wounded by an assassin. Who will be next on this highly skilled infiltrator's hit list? One must be in awe of the skill level this one, or two assassins must have.

SoA Has Another Face

March 7, 1011 After their last Sultan has disappeared, a new election took place in the lands of the Sultanate. After a few days, the votes where counted a new Sultan was named for the Sultanate of Asena. This new Sultan is Leandros Galvez. Here at Obsidian News we wish the new Sultan all the best, hopefully this one will last longer then the recent ones have.

Cutting it Close

March 6th, 1011 In a huge battle for Abadan, Caligus put up over a thousand troops to try and defend their rural region from the incoming Ibladesh army, which was close in number but still holding roughly a one hundred man advantage. The battle waged, and neither side was willing to give an inch, struggling through each pass. Finally the Ibladesh army was able to advance through Caligus front lines and press through to claim the victory of Abadan. Hopefully the continent does not see to many more of these huge battles, many families have lost loved ones today.

Baron Sielo Missing?

March 1st, 1011 After spending some time in an Sultanate of Asena prison cell, Baron Sielo returned to the capital, Kalmar only to turn up missing a few days later. Some wonder what may have happened to him, if he was kidnapped, went through horrible, unspeakable things and is now hiding away, or perhaps just decided to leave and not tell anybody and instead left us all to wonder.

Sirion Advancing, SoA Hiding

March 1st, 1011 Perhaps in a move to try and just stay alive a little longer, Sultanate of Asena has nearly all their troops hold up and hiding in Kazakh only willing to venture out and risk exposure in Kazan or Gadlock. This is leaving their federation ally, Fontan, wide open to Sirion advancing on Fontan regions. Unless Sultanate of Asena gets over their fear of leaving the Kazakh duchy soon, it would seem Fontan has seen their last days.

The Border Patrol

March 1st, 1011 After a successful attack in Gadlock, Obsidian Islands troops began heading home, however due to poor movement there was a couple of bad battles in Kazan which led to a good portion of Obsidian Islands' army to be destroyed. Following this Sultanate of Asena was able to temporarily move into Stora and take control of the region for two days. Sultanate of Asena has since not returned to Stora.

Sirion Pushes Forward

March 1st, 1011 It would seem Sirion has nearly finished off Fontan now, as they are down to only Krimml and Ashforth left, recently losing their namesake city, Fontan, to Sirion and Karbala as well. Fontan seems to be running out of time, and quickly.

The Northern War in the South?

March 1st, 1011 You didn't read wrong, it would seem the stalemate the north had seen for some long has moved on and now it's Ibladesh and Caligus who seem to be stuck in a locked position. Despite many large battles there has been only a few regions actually changing hands, and the damage to both sides (not counting cs counts of course) seems to be fairly low. Is one or both sides holding back in this conflict or have they found their military match up? This is one war to keep a close eye on in the future.

Perdan and DoA

March 1st, 1011 Earlier today Perdan finished their second take over, Lorient being the target. This has now completely cut Aix (Diocese of Aix's capital) off from the rest of their realm. While there is not many reports coming out of the south, it would seem very clear that Perdan is easily beating DoA. Will Caligus come and help Perdan deliver the final blow? Will Ibladesh come and help Diocese of Aix reclaim the regions they lost? Only time will tell.
