The Great Realm Chronicle & Monastic Annals

Perjury in Meroe: Tang China (Эльф ушастый) Stabbeth Umayyad Cordoba (интима не будет) in the Back

The tragedy of Meroe will be recounted with sorrow for generations: Tang China (Эльф ушастый) abused its trusted position to overwhelm the forces of Umayyad Cordoba (интима не будет). Raids and counter-strokes were reported in Kumbi Saleh and Zawila as the strife widened. Fleeing survivors call upon heaven to avenge their betrayal. The high council of Umayyad Cordoba sat in bitter silence, counselors casting blame upon the marshals and each other. 'Such deeds of chivalry will be chanted at tournaments for forty years,' vowed a traveling troubadour.

Byzantines (Xenonic) Leadeth the Realm with 40 Strongholds

A commanding lead belongs to Byzantines (Xenonic), which has amassed 40 fiefs toward the victory requirement of 55 fiefs. Envoys of lesser baronies tread with exquisite care in the royal halls. Tavern-keepers across Byzantines broached their finest mead and refused coin from passing men-at-arms. 'God hath granted favor to the bold today,' proclaimed a bishop at the high altar.

Lines Pierced: Byzantines (Xenonic) Driven Out of Fazzan by Tang China (Эльф ушастый)

Pressured on both wings by Tang China (Эльф ушастый), the forces of Byzantines (Xenonic) abandoned their earthworks in Fazzan. The attacking host moved out from Daju without fanfare. Remnants of the broken force regrouped within the bailey of Ifriqiya. Castellan dispatches confirm that the ground was completely yielded. 'The bells of victory ring sweet, but the blacksmiths must now labor on new ironwork,' laughed a camp armorer. Castellans across Byzantines ordered moats cleared and portcullises dropped in anticipation of an assault.

Banners Advance: Tang China (Эльф ушастый) Secures 2 Keeps

Few foresaw the whirlwind advance of Tang China (Эльф ушастый), which seized 2 additional fortresses before rival lords could marshal an effective counter-stroke. The royal coffers overflow with newfound tithes and tolls. The great bells in the cathedral of Tang China rang without ceasing from nones until midnight. The tavern-keeper took down one coat of arms and hung another, remarking that nails are cheaper than taking sides.

Reversal of Fortune for Umayyad Cordoba (интима не будет): 2 Strongholds Lost

A disastrous sequence of reverses hath cost Umayyad Cordoba (интима не будет) no fewer than 2 strongholds in the course of a single campaigning season. Dismayed counselors held emergency vigils through the night as couriers brought word of collapsing borders. The chancery of Umayyad Cordoba fell into dark confusion, unable to stem the relentless unraveling of their dominion. 'The wheel of fortune turneth ever, casting down the proud and scattering their retinues,' recorded a cathedral scribe.

Repulse at the Moat: Tang China (Эльф ушастый) Denies Sea of Worms to Carolingian Franks (MonsterSerg)

Sentries upon the curtain wall report that the banner of Tang China (Эльф ушастый) still flieth proudly over Sea of Worms following the repulse of a major combined offensive by Carolingian Franks (MonsterSerg). The attackers were thrown back with heavy confusion along their battle lines. 'In war, the princes gamble with kingdoms while the husbandman prayeth only for his harvest,' noted a village priest. Mothers in Carolingian Franks wept at the church stoups, beseeching heaven for the safe return of their sons.

A Sudden League of Arms: Saffarids (бургундий) and Tang China (Эльф ушастый) Combine Their Might

Merchants arriving from the Michaelmas fair relate that Saffarids (бургундий) and Tang China (Эльф ушастый) have astonished Christendom by acting as steadfast allies, having earlier pursued each other with unrelenting fury. The sudden partnership hath overturned calculations across every chancery. Village maidens observed that a retreating knight rideth every bit as swiftly as an advancing one, and looks far less proud. Foreign ambassadors met in neutral taprooms, whispering behind fur collars as couriers passed by.

No Truce on the Frontier: Tang China (Эльф ушастый) and Umayyad Cordoba (интима не будет) in Protracted Strife

The border lands between Tang China (Эльф ушастый) and Umayyad Cordoba (интима не будет) remain desolate after 2 years of merciless raiding and scorched earth. Neutral merchants bypass the province altogether, leaving the belligerents to their grim obsession. Foreign chanceries were thrown into turmoil, convening emergency councils before the evening vespers. The lineage genealogists labor through the night to discover ancestral claims as intricate as they are thoroughly fabricated.

The Last Redoubt: Umayyad Cordoba (интима не будет) Clings to Walata

Castellans peering from frontier watchtowers swear that Umayyad Cordoba (интима не будет) now commands only Walata, having been stripped of every other territory across the realm. The royal banners flutter over a lonely garrison that prepares for a final stand against encroaching enemies. 'We are brought low into the dust, and our ancestral titles are made a mockery,' wept a squire of Umayyad Cordoba. Scribes were relieved to find that the new ruler's name was three letters shorter, saving precious sheepskin on every writ.

Homage and rent wax bright for Tang China (Эльф ушастый): up by 2 manors to a proud measure of 36 strongholds. The bailiffs of Umayyad Cordoba (интима не будет) collect lighter purses, stripped of 2 holdings to keep only 1 holding.

Talk at the market cross hath it that Tang China offered to forgive a mountain of wool debts if Umayyad Cordoba would yield river tolls. It is muttered in the cloisters that an abbess related to Byzantines was seen praying alongside a noble prioress of Saffarids.

Persistent autumn drizzle dampens the spirits of men-at-arms upon the march; dry kindling for fires fetcheth a lordly price.

RUNAWAY APPRENTICE: Young Peter, fled from the weavers' guild. Marked by a scar over the left brow. Harboring him incurreth excommunication and a fine.
