The War of Liberation Continues...
Dunland is quickly becoming a Free Protectorate thanks to the
military of Enion and his brothers. Nin-in-Eilph was taken this week
by forces loyal to the cause of democracy. The blight of SARUMAN is
being removed from the west! This should provide a safe haven from
which to launch and supply our attacks on the evil regime of SAURON.
NOT ONE pop.centre of the White Wizard remains west of the Misty
Mountains and Angrenost is under seige from the armies of Liberation!
Meanwhile, around Mirkwood [the blighted realm as it yet is], forces
of Sinda and Woodmen under TATHAR and WAULFA respectively, have run
into a large army under ULZOG of the Ice King at 3119 on the road to
Morannon. It should be a close fight! Nearby at 2816 the brave
GALANDEOR was assassinated by an unknown assailent--the Darks have an
ARMY-KILLER! Fear rippled through the hearts of Freep commanders, but
the resolve remains the same. The target is the Liberation of Mordor
and it`s enslaved peoples. Dol Guldor remains in the hands of the
Dark with a new army appearing/returning there this turn...
After their battles at the Woodmen capital the small army of GASKBUZ
[Dragon Lord] has moved to harass the peaceful woodfolk of Sairtheod
[2712]. It is a pitiful attempt to deprive the Woodmen of income, but
the Dragon Lord must know HE is the one [un]living on borrowed time?
Whilst the enslaved trolls of Khamul may have defeated the 400 brave
souls under BENEORACER at the Woodmen capital last turn, they could
not dent the fortifications and so elected to run away to an
unprotected camp. Why bother? The War Criminals GRASHUKH and SKAURIL
were noted to have helped in the battle. However the forces of Good
are closing in on them...
The Rohirrim were surprised by the arrival of KRUXTOGG [Dog Lord] at
Aldburg [2421] last week, but Lord EOMUND has an army of cavalry
there to face him down. Elsewhere THEODEN and his captains continue
to reinforce at Angrenost in an attempt to seige the citadel and
force out the renegade Wizard. Nothing has been seen of the Wedding-
Dress-Wearing Children`s Entertainer. Perhaps the Old Codger has
shuffled off his mortal coil? We can but hope. No doubt he is
cowering behind his master`s throne, a pawn of SAURON as WORMTONGUE
is to him? Whatever, he doesn`t even dare to recruit at his own
capital as he knows defeat would be a certainty there. UGLUK the Orc
may have tried, he was however foolish enough to accept the personal
challenge of the Aged KING THEODEN. And Lost. Scratch one green-
skinned commander of the White Hand! At 2220, the King`s Neice,
EOWYN, had eventually rundown the slaves of HAKKEN and then ran them
through. KRUXTOGG had destroyed the village of Stowburg before
running into EOMUND. At 2120, BILL FERNY, defeated a small scouting
band under ADDABON and remains on the loose. In another piece of good
news for the White Hand BUGRUG escaped from the control of EOMER.
Just like pulling rabbits from a tall, pointed, white hat!
In Arnor, the Dunadan Rangers continue to work against the minions of
the cross-dressing so-called Witch-King. ELROHIR was moving to
liberate Mt.Gram and purge the place of evil only to be met at the
foot of the mountain by a huge army under ROGROG. One wonders at this
tactic, why fight on the plains instead of at your stronghold? For
their sake, we hope that slaves do not make up the bulk of the the
WK`s army or they will be gutted like swine on the lances of
rangers...the north remains blissfully free of any other smear of
darkness and the armies are being mustered for their march to the
mountains.
My fellow Silvan Elves have not been idle: This week KING THRANDUIL
of Mirkwood has moved upon the Dragon Lord`s stronghold of Sarn
Goriwing [2809], enlisting the aid of powerful mages to release the
mountain from it`s enchantment. He has forces enough to take it, and
is unopposed by enemies there. The first step for the cleansing of
the Mirkwood has been taken! Meanwhile at Buth Ovaisa [3017]
CAMTHALION took the reeking village from the Long Rider and made it
an Elven Camp. A strategic stronghold on the road to Morannon. In
retaliation PHILLIPE d`CHASSE the camply named Dragon Lord commander
destroyed Ceber Fanuin [2915] and appeared to move back to protect
his sugar-daddy KHAMUL at Dol Guldor.
The brave citizens of the Gondor`s continue to fight for democracy
and material freedom in the face of armed aggression from the unclean
slaves of Mordor. At Pelargir [2927], forces under Commander ASHTURG
[Quiet Avenger] and the dark pirate Captain TELKURHAD [Corsairs]
moved in to attack the defending garrison under ANBORN [North
Gondor], they may have been surprised to be confronted with the
arrival of Lord ANGBOR of South Gondor and his Huge Army. A Free
Victory is assured by our Leaders! The bloody Town [now village] of
Osgiliath will again see conflict this week as Lord BOROMIR of North
Gondor now faces the "might" of small armies under DAUMDORUT [Dog
Lord] and LUGRONK [Ice King]. The battle is expected to be close.
Boromir is fresh from victory there last week; destroying the
fanatical scum of MURANOG [Ice King], UKLURG [Fire King] and
CELEDHRING [Dark Lts] who`s rag-tag "armies" numbered only some 1100
troops between them and were easily routed! The same cannot be said
of the battle at 3026 where Captain TRANDOR`s 1000HC took on a mixed
DARKS division under DAUMDORUT, LUGRONK and SKARGNAKH [FK] with many
DS mages taking their toll the Free Cavalry, their enchantments even
forcing a change of army tactics. HOARMURATH, GAURHIR, KHATHOG and
ABDAKHIL all cast spells to influence the course of battle...however
the DS lost significant numbers, but still had enough in store to
take Bar-en-Tinnen from the Free.
Back in the North, the Noldo have awoken from slumber and march once
more! ASCARNIL has led a strong force from Imladris to Goblin-Gate in
an effort to purge it of evil and secure the pass for decent folk! He
has been met with an army under OGROD [Dragon Lord], but is expected
to win the battle there. At 3002, CIRDAN called out the fool ROGATHA
[who had then lost the Ring Of Wind], but the coward refused the
Shipwright and had no doubt fled back to the welcoming arms of his
Tranny Mistress MURAZOR!? The Noldo continue to suuport and guide the
War Effort for the Co-alition of Liberation.
Out East in the forgotten lands of Rhun, at 4419, the Dragon Lord has
beena attempting to bring the War to a peaceful land. Regent DURAN
led 1200HI against Commander SWITHWULF`s mere 600HI eventually
overcoming the forces of freedom but suffering some losses in the
battle. Their whereabouts are currently unknown! The Northmen remain
vigilant for the forces of evil in the far east, and will continue to
work for Democracy For Mordor!
I remain your servant,
Murmur of Mirkwood.
