Across Agon this week the world has grown considerably hotter as portions of the Cold War which has reigned over the Darkfall world in recent weeks thaw out.
In eastern Agon the first new declaration of war between alliances hit the world stage as DUSK alliance, with auxilliary arm Dawn, went to war with the SB Alliance of the Tribelands and Northwest. Hostilities seem focused between the cities of Dawn guild Oromea (sic) and SB stalwart Dreadnaughts--more on this story as it develops.
Meanwhile, confusion reigned in western Agon last night as a planned territory shift between Coalition of the Chillin members turned into a serious diplomatic crisis. Territorial shifts are usually faux-sieges where shard-bearers perform all the stages of a normal Darkfall siege, but territory changes hands peacefully. Last night, an attended swap among CotC members went awry as shard-bearers suffered disruption, leaving CotC territories open for attack from other alliances. Hyperion forces made themselves felt, and the Tribune can confirm that at least Death Alliance troops were mustering to aid in the defense when the relevant CotC parties settled peace agreements and ended the siege window.
Finally, Yssam saw the end of an era. Starting at approximately 6:30 PM EST, 4/15/09, the Yssam Coalition initiated a new offensive. After fierce fighting and several hours of maneuvering and battle YC forces succeeded in taking the last hamlet of the Stasis alliance in central Yssam. With the fall of the last Stasis settlement only one clanstone remains on Yssam not controlled by either the YC or the Hyperion Kingdom: the hamlet of Mahtisoturit, clan of the Coalition of the Chillin. Tribune sources indicate that the Stasis alliance, though disheartened by this latest setback, remains committed to life on Yssam and will engage in a guerrilla war to remain there. Expect a special on Yssam in the near future, readers.
This concludes tonight's Evening Edition.
See you in Agon,

Erm, you use 'sic' when reproducing a quote that contains a known spelling error, not when you knowingly make the error.
ReplyDeleteIn the case of 'Oromea', I don't even think you made an 'error' in leaving out the umlaut. Accents are used in many non-English languages for clarifying pronunciation, but when used in English, they're often dropped (especially in names).
It's foreign words that have been 'borrowed' that we tend to keep the acccents, and even then they are usually dropped in time.
ah k so pick out one mistake and pick him apart? nice....
ReplyDeleteThese posts are great mate, keep them up. I know it mustn't be that easy.
Good job!
