The Flaming Eye, Issue 2.
A brief review of what has been happening in our little world in this
past week;
The bloody battles around Osgiliath and Minas Morgul [you will not be
surprised
to learn] have continued unabated these last two weeks; the impudent
army under
ARGIRION of North Gondor that forged it`s way into Minas Morgul has
been crushed
thanks to the joint efforts of the Witch King and Fire King under
ROGROG &
UKLURG respectively. The oaf ARGIRION suffered the ignominy of being
captured by
his dark servant superiors and is on his way to Barad-Dur for
interogation even
as i write this! AZGURATH felt so confident of a dark victory, it
seems, that he
felt secure enough to sit and watch the battle without dirtying his
hands!
Meanwhile at Osgiliath forces of North and South Gondor
barely managed to
overcome a brave expeditionary force led by the valiant LUGRONK of
the Ice King.
His compatriot ULZOG has arrived at the City of Blood to replace him
and take on
the might of North Gondor led by ICHABOD & BARANOR.
The Freeps have been bold and have even sent an expeditionary
force over the
bridge at Pelargir, sending seed armies to 3028 & 3129. Let`s see how
much punishment
the Freeps can take!
In Rhun things have been quiet since the early, bloodless
demise of that once
great empire of Easterlings, the Dwarvish stone-lickers and greedy
Northmen filling the void
as only capitalist Freeps will do! They have sent forces to destroy
recruiting towns at 3621
and 4121 in an effort to dominate that area.
The Khand Easterlings, too, have been busy by sending their
armies out to destroy
nearby Long Rider population centres. The renegade ITANA OVAN taking
the lions share of
"credit" here. Even so, DS agents have flooded the Khand capital, the
enemies having to
refuse the courageous personal challenges of the dark servants and
KIONID II very lucky to
escape the blade of a would-be assassin! There village An Karagmir
[3538] was destroyed by
forces of the Quiet Avenger.
The Corsairs have continued their early invasion of Western
Gondor, there seems no respite
for those exposed Gondorian population centres out there...
Whilst the nearby armies of Rohan muster their horses and
troops, the White Wizard and
Dunlendings have been cutting each others throats! Saruman has now
destroyed 1916, 1618 & 1720. Even now
he lays seige to 1420. In retaliation the armies of Dunland under
AONGHAS & URDREK are encamped around
1918 with their seige engines! Rohan has sent a force under ELFHELM
to the very gates of Angrenost,
but Isengard will not be breached whilst defended by leaders of the
calibre of DURBUHUK & SPARKY
FINKLEPAW! On a sad note, we must inform you of the untimely death of
one of middle-earths true
characters, GRIMA WORMTONGUE was unfortunate enough to be carried
away be evil spirits whilst doing
his duty for the White Wizard, Saruman "of many colours" as he
prefers to be known during these
dark days!
In Mirkwood the Dog Lord`s RASHKUK continues to run amok in
the elven pop.centres. DURAN of
the Dragon Lord`s nation routed an army under DORLAS at 2911. The
unfortunate elf was killed in battle!
A Silvan army approaches, but DURAN is up to the battle! DOl GULDUR
continues to be a focal point
for Freep attack, as waves approach the near unassaiable fortress of
Dark Servant power. GASKBUZ was
defeated there last week by TATHAR of the Sinda, but the two shall
square off again this week, whilst other Freep armies close in!!!
At 2507 MURAZOR himself leads an army against BEORABORN of
the Woodmen. Meanwhile GRASHUKH of the
Dragon Lord and BOLG "of the North" have made a co-ordinted push
against Rivendell, only to be
thwarted by elven magic and armies under GLORFINDEL & HARD`E NUFF of
the Noldo!!!
Exciting times, lie ahead, the dark servants are confident of victory!
