Greetings to the Oppressed Peoples of Middle Earth,
The War of Liberation has begun at last, the tyrant SAURON and his
evil regime will be removed and his homelands will once again be free
and profitable! In the North, the refuge of the repugnant Witch-King
will soon be smashed. As his spies have no doubt informed him the
Dunadan are on their way to smash his northern hold at Mt.Gundabad.
Using our full economic and military might the girly Witch-King will
have nowhere to hide in the mountains after his capital falls in the
south!
IN MIRKWOOD;
My once proud home of the Greenwood is becoming a place of light
again; the push on Dol Guldor has started and Free Armies are massing
to remove the blight from the ancient woods. A hasty meeting of elven
minds was convened in the House of Beorn [our Woodman friend and
ally]; Elrond, the self-proclaimed, if unelected "Leader of the Freep
World", bade his Mother In Law , Galadriel and my own King Thranduil
to make war upon the foul denizens of Mordor, but first to start in
our own back yard, where guerrilla warfare might ensue if we do not
remove the threat of the Dragon Lord and the Witch King. So it was
that the Sinda and Woodmen combined and marched upon an empty Dol
Guldor. The Dragon Lord`s army has fled into the deepwoods and his
capital is unguarded...perhaps he expected HARGROG, a Long Rider
lackey, to have reinforced it? No such luck; the foolish lizard thing
challenge My Lord CAMTHALION at 2816 only to be surprised and
decapitated by him. Camthalion laughed at the challenge, as he
himself had planned to issue one upon receiving mighty artifacts from
the King himself! Later BULRAKUR`s army arrived to take the place of
the disbanded Long Rider one. It isn`t going to plan for the darks...
IN RHUN;
As is often the way with this forgotten land, the DARKS have
forgotten to turn up and it remains quiet...
IN DUNLAND;
The same cannot be said. White Wizard armies burnt 1916 to the
ground, but have now been caught by URDREK. Will BILL FERNY survive?
UGLUK also has an army at the village of Wularan [1917]. Dunland
sends more armies to subdue the infidels. The Riders of Rohan put the
sword to the inferior forces of SARUMAN at 2020 and his capital at
ANGRENOST [2119], taking BUGRUG prisoner. Angrenost, too, remains
undefended in the face of a Rohan expedtionary force. Curiously
SARUMAN`s generals preferred to retreat into the mountains [2118]
rather than defend their citadel. Perhaps it is a mark of his
cowardice?
THE EMYN MUIL;
Saw more forces of Rohan under EOMUND dispatch the pitiable army of
the DRAGON LORD at 2619.
IN KHAND;
There was some success for the despotic empire of Sauron. Long Rider
armies took 4228 from the Khand nation and RASHKUK has arrived to
meet the former owners and reinforce MORNADAK. The town shall see a
close battle this week! Also ADUNAPHEL herself, to 3538 and even now
crosses the desert towards the Khand capital...
IN SOUTH GONDOR;
The first titanic battle of the War of Liberation was a naval one;
the navies of IMRAHIL caught the Corsairs at 2430 in an attempt to
destroy their dominance of the Sea. However, ADRAHIL and DUINHIR were
refused their challenges and their fleets destroyed. ADRAHIL was
captured. Much damage was done to the Corsairs, allowing the Sinda
fleet to sail into port in an attempt to engage them. It might be the
end for yachting for SANGARUNYA and Co. for a while...
IN THE ITHIL PASS;
At last a struggle for power has begun. Two Ice King and two Fire
King armies moved onto Osgiliath to face three armies of North Gondor
under ARGIRION, BARANOR and ECTHELION. Both sides have had a week to
build up, the battle should be fierce. The Stewards are determined to
capture BARAD-DUR and replace the regime of Sauron with a
democratically elected Free Mordor. Mordors resources will be held
under the sway of the Stewards,in the name of and for the good of
Mordor`s peoples, naturally. All export profit will of course be held
in trust until after the first elections! Aid will be sent and slaves
will be freed to become citizens of the United Free Peoples. My Lords
of the West are nothing if not caring, sharing individuals.
I remain their scribe,
