April 26, 2006 - Rotating door governments in Old Rancagua? The last hour has seen not one, but two rebellions in Old Rancagua. Fuinur, the ruler prior to the last series of rebellions and counter-rebellions, declared a rebellion and overthrew the government in the span of less than an hour. But less than 20 minutes later, another rebellion was announced! How long will it take for the government of Old Rancagua to settle down and get back to the task of ruling, rather than rebelling? Update: The counter-rebellion has succeeded. Thalanteus has seized control, and declared the new government a monarchy. April 24, 2006 - The small raiding party of Ibladeshian and Itorunt troops has largely been driven from Perdanese lands.

The enemy rearguard was last seen in Clermont headed for Al Aquabah.
