Evening Edition 4/9/09 - "Blood in the Marches!"

The contested territories of Mirendil and the Tribelands were stained with blood today as two wars broke out between opposing alliances. The Agon Tribune brings you the latest from the battlefront.

In the morning of April 9th, EST, the Dvergheim Compact launched an offensive against the Cairn Alliance's one continental holding, the city of CA clan Sovereignty in the Tribelands. The bitter siege soon turned into a media frenzy as Coalition of the Chillin spokespeople claimed Hyperion involvement in the siege, while other sources claimed Coalition of the Chillin support for Sovereignty--the Tribune has yet to verify these allegations one way or the other, and investigations are ongoing. CA forces broke the Dvergheim siege and counterattacked, razing and conquering La Rosa Escarlata's hamlet in the border hills of the Tribelands/Dvergheim. The Tribune's condolences go out to those rendered homeless by continuing bloodshed in the Tribelands.

Later that day another conflict flared up, this time between the Shipwrecked Pirates of SB Alliance and Vinco Vici Victum of Savage Alliance. A bloody battle ended at approximately 11 o'clock EST, with SB forces storming Vinco Vici Victum's city in eastern Mirendil and taking it for their own. The Agon Tribune was able to make contact with Captain Arnie, leader of the Shipwrecked Pirates, who had this to say:

Agon Tribune: Captain Arnie, any comments on your victory tonight?
Captain Arnie: Hard fought on all sides, the defenders put up a valiant battle.
AT: What sparked the conflict with VVV and Savage Alliance?
CA: Their unprovoked siegin o'our peaceful hamlet (north of Marithain, the Dreadnaughts' continental city).
AT: Any last words for the Darkfall community?
CA: Yaaaarrrrrr

The leadership of Vinco Vici Victum was unavailable for comment, but the Tribune will make all efforts to find their side of this story. Again, the Tribune's best wishes go out to those left homeless by this conflict. All participants in the above conflicts are welcomed and encouraged to make contact with the Tribune to voice their sides of the story--here at AT you can be assured an impartial venue.

That's all for the Agon Tribune Evening Edition. See you in Agon.
