Defeat at Picnu!
September 27th, 2008

A rare battle between near-equal forces ended in defeat today as a Falasan/Minas Ithil Army invaded the recently freed region of Picnu. 16470 CS of Rabbits/MI went against 15315 CS of Tara/Darka troops in a brutal battle. Despite the valiant defense of our soldiers and allies, we were overrun in a protracted battle.

Correction:
September 19th, 2008

It has been brought to our attention that Ash'rily is NOT the capital of the Ash Sea Islands. The correct capital is Ser'quia. We apologize for our error.

Personally, I really don't see the point of this since ASI will be extinct soon. The Dead Bear No Ill Will...

Setbacks on the Northern Front
September 16th, 2008

A coordinated counterattack by Falasan and Minas Ithil has succeeded in taking Cori and Picnu away from us. With our own allies unavailable and monsters/Norland Raiders n the rear, we have been unable to muster enough to resist.

Rest assured, this is only a minor delay in our plans of spreading Freedom to the Oppressed.

Fall of Ash'rily
September 16th, 2008

3 days ago... We have just gotten word that a major assault has overrun Ash'rily, capital of the Ash Sea Islands. An estimated 30,000 CS Army of Caergoth/Carelia defeated ASI's 15,000 CS defenders in a titanic battle. Damage to both armies and the fortifications have been massive.

Other News... ASI has takenover Barnlure in a pointless gesture of defiance. This action has only delayed the eventual assimilation of the Capital into Carelia. Still, we salute ASI in its will to fight destiny.

Upsurge of Monsters Delay Advance!
September 8th, 2008

There has been a large resurgence of undead and monster activity in Carelia, the Cagilan Empire, Darka and Tara. These evil creatures are of such size and strength that normal militia units are incapable of stopping them. Thus, it is with reluctance that each realm must dispatch a task force for disposal.

We do not know how Falasan has done this but rest assured, the Freedom of Rabbits is still our highest priority!

War Update
September 6th, 2008

As anyone can see in the map, we are doing very well. There is almost no resistance now when our army liberates Rabbit regions. Peasants welcome Tara with open arms. Both Barad Falas and Tucha are surrounded, there people starving while their Lords flee. As I write this, I look out my window and witness the massive army gathering for the siege of Barad Falas. Once that persecuted city is free, Falasan will be broken.

We shall see...

Traitor Identified at Last?
September 1st, 2008

One of the early questions in this war has always been the early warning the Ash Sea Islands received during the massing of our armies at their border. We have later learned that a traitor from Suville leaked the liberation plans to our enemies, prolonging the war and suffering of ASI.

Clearly, Sir Damian Bedwyr, Duke of Stoneville can be none other than the traitor in question. HE made ASI suffer and, indeed, the argument can be made that the Falasan War is his fault as well.

The Tara Times will seek to confirm this speculation and get back to you.

Falasan Inquirer Admits Fault!
September 2nd, 2008

I have just finished reviewing past issues of our brother journalists across the divide and I have come to a stunning article...

Falasan admits they are to blame for the war!

Indeed. In a fine display of honesty, the most recent edition of the Falasan Newspaper freely admits that it was their ineptitude and foolishness that has caused all this mayhem. Thousands of deaths and countless villages could have been spared had the stubborn Rabbit King shared the views of his reporters.

The Tara Times urges the Falasan Inquirer to promote an unconditional surrender among their people. This is the only humane action in the face of their nation's culpability in recent events.

Tara Times is BACK!
September 1st, 2008

The pressures of war have forced all available staff to the frontlines, abandoning their journalism duties for the greater good. As the tide of war turns our way, we have now found the time to continue our work here at the paper.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Abington Reborn!
September 1st, 2008

The Blight of Atamara is back!

Sir Damian Bedwyr, now King of Abington, Duke of Stoneville, Marshal of the Praetorian Guard has just created Abington from the ashes. Fury is rising throughout the continent as realm after realm declares war on the abomination. One trusts armies will soon put an end to this embarrassment.
