Avamarian Civil War...in Kalmar
Letter from Lalakis
Rulers of the World,
I beliieve that it is obvious to all, that One Rogala has gone mad...Seems that his evil self took over and he established a Theocracy of Terror in the Eastern Kalmar.
I know that most of you have your own wars to fight, your own people to take care of, your own realms to protect and make them flourish. Howeverr I truly believe that we should act all together in this Continent, even for once to unroot this reign of terror before it is too late.
What I can only do is to ask for your support to hold a Holy Crusade against him personally. Kalmar is very weak to act alone.
Any help will be appreciated... Let's put aside for once all the differences that divide us and undertake a common objective that will do a common good to all people of the Continent. Let's send the Rogala to Limbo where he belongs.
Sir Lalakis Chancellor of Kalmar Islands
Letter from One
No, Lalakis, your the plauge I wish to remove from these lands.
The Avamarians have gone to far in thinking they can take these islands for themselves. Lalakis is not the man he used to be, he is now his own worst enemy. He admitted to me that he was willing to, while here listen to his madness: "I am willing to ban, execute even murder in cold blood 1/3 of a realm, simply to save the other 2/3. Ths is politics One. Not screwing everyone around just to do things in my way."
The Avamarians need to leave these islands forever, they don't deserve them, they where stolen, and should therefore be returned. I may be mad, but I am right when it comes to getting you damn fools outta here before everything Avamar stood for is destroyed, and if that means I die as a consequence so be it.

One, Pontifex of Avamar and the Clown of the Isles
...with their declaration of a tournament and this particularly insulting and foolish message to the rulers of the East Continent. I repeat it here for your leisure (with the important section bolded):
Roleplay from One Message sent to the Rulers of this world (11 recipients) Greating Great Rulers of the East,
It appears my people wanted to hold a tournment in my honour, I guess it's just there way of saying we love you One. Oh, those crazy Avamarians, what can we do with them?
The reason why I bring this to you is because I've promised all the Avamarians that's there'd be clowns. Sooooo, I am hoping all you can show up and help me fufill this promise.
Lalakis, I have a special pink tu-tu for you, don't you dissapoint me!
One Pontifex of Avamar Selective, Duke of Kalmar
I think he has managed to insult every ruler and realm of the East Continent with his idiocy. Avamar are callous, foolish and conniving, they care little for any other realm or nobles but theirs, and have proven this through their remarks and actions in Kalmar since the destruction of their city at the righteous hand of Sirion. Avamar is a plague, and we are the vaccine.

Dissention in the ranks?
The OR Press can only laugh, for it seems that now Avamar has been tainted by the evil and the ambitious nature of the Rogala's. They hold no allegiances, and only wish for power. Now they can feel the frustration, annoyance and hate for those who would descrate a realm created by their own hand.
New Avamar is born...
"Avamar Selective" as it has been named now, took with it the regions of Stora and Alvaret, gutting the already tiny nation of Kalmar by 6000 men and women, as well as its richest city. The heinous nature of this action has not been well received in Old Rancagua, however it does only prove the ambitious and callous nature of the Avamarian. For the entirety of their hegemony over the islands to the north, they have claimed that they were Kalmarians, and cared only for the well-being of Kalmar. But now they have sliced off its founding city to fulfill their long desire to carve a realm of their own from others.
It is the firm wish of the Old Rancagua Press that all Nobles with Avamarian connections depart to their new realm, and allow the Kalmarians to govern themselves again, and what is left of their realm. For the parasitic nature of Lalakis the Tyrant and his Lala-keys has done more damage than could ever have been imagined. We can only hope that they have now been shaken free of his brainwashing and will march with us to reclaim the lands they stole. For if the situation is right, it has been widely believed in the realm that the war with Kalmar should end, and alliance be sought (so long as they expel all Avamarians from their midst.
With this turn of events, the Old Rancaguan military continues its plans to once again invade the region of Stora and bring about the destruction of this new realm and its reclaimation for Kalmar. No doubt it is unfortunate that our brothers in Fontan and Sirion are unable to aid us, for they of all people will know the damage, and have even more reason than we, to hate Avamar and her nobles. The OR Press will keep you informed.

Defeat in Stora...
This, the third invasion of the isles was even less successful than the previous invasion. The situation in the Old Rancaguan High Command has become somewhat tense as heated discussions over the direction of the military were held. Some have even called for High Marshal Johnny's resignation from office.
The most recent attack was once more fraught with difficulty as the regrettably efficient and highly trained infiltrators of Kalmar were again successful in wreaking havoc on the roads and sea-lanes which run from Kazan to Stora. Some nobles reported delays of up to 8 hours due to blocked roads, changed signs and strange tree formations. As a result, the original Old Rancaguan armada of 17,000 CS, some 1,500 men, arrived in waves against the entrenched defenders resulting in overwhelming defeat.
The first wave of some 4,000 CS was massacred, however despite this defeat, Lord Johnny decided to continue the assault, resulting in a further defeat as only 6,000 CS arrived of the 13,000 remaining. It was at this point that upon the insistence of the Military Advisory Council, Lord Johnny ordered the retreat of the remaining forces who will now form the core of the new forces being amassed in Kazakh and Ashforth.
The next invasion of Stora is scheduled for sometime in the next two weeks, the implications behind this assault are now very clear to the High Command, whose leadership is now being questioned by the Noble of Old Rancagua. It seems, that should defeat once more be inflicted, regrettably Lord Johnny may be forced to step down. The OR Press will keep you posted...

The war continues with Kalmar, more death and destruction in Perdan
The imminent secession of the true rulers of Kalmar, from old Kalmar, to form a New Avamar in the Chaos Temple, has only given the Old Rancaguan Council, and consquently the High Command a renewed level of zeal to finish the job and bring an end to Lalakis' tyranny.
Amongst the ranks of Old Rancagua are many disillusioned and formerly brainwashed Kalmarians who, with the recent discovery of Avamar's plans to split the realm have joined against them to prevent, or at least avenge, this atrocity. Let us hope that in the days to come, the OR Press will have news of a successful invasion of Stora and a consquent liberation of the Isles from Lalakis' iron grip.
In other news, the sea of bones in Bescanon and Woolton had a fresh wetting of blood in the recent days with further large battles occuring the regions. The war with Perdan has turned into a stalemate it seems, with neither side being able to gain an advantage. Will keep you posted with the news as it comes...

The bloodbath that is Bescanon, and Legatus in Perdan?
The region of Bescanon, along with its neighbour Troyes have been the sites of the largest battles in the East Continent in the months since the death of Oligarch. Thousands of brave young Perdanese, Sirionite and Fontanese soldiers have met countless times in merciless slaughter, led remorselessly on by their Nobles, some of which who have also fought and died on those fields.
The OR Press can only marvel at the sheer unyielding wills of all realms involved and, though we here believe that the Perdanese do deserve some modicum of punishment for their actions in the past, perhaps the price is too high to pay? Sometimes, compromise is the only way for an ending and a victory to be achieved.
In other news it seems that our esteemed friend, Legatus DeSyrr, former Chief Editor of our infamous nemesis paper, the Kalmarian Chronicles has abandoned the realm he loved so much and departed for Perdan. Perhaps he finally realised that Avamar are the true rulers of the Isles? Perhaps he shook off the brainwashed crap which Lalakis filled in his ears, saw the truth and was ashamed? I suppose we will never know, but we can always hope that this is the case!
