The Fantasy Nations Chronicle
	7033 AD

Templars Continue to Advance
The Knights Templar continued to advance into Mongrel territory, seizing the
Plains of Desolation and the Plain of Charred Flesh. Templar knights continued
on, attacking the Middle Kingdom�s Shensi garrison. Their Mystic warriors also
seized the Lowridge Mountains from the Kingdom of Kubayek.

Dark Shadow Advances over the Sylvan Elves
Armies of warriors supported by
wizards advanced into the Oakland Forest defeating a hastily raised army of
elves. Another such army destroyed an army of elven horse archers in the
Sylvan Forest. The elves attacked again and again and were shredded by the
enemy wizards. After the Shadow passed, Pine Wood and Willow Wood were left
uninhabited.

Transylvanians in Trouble
Attacked from the north by an army of
Cimmerian hang glider warriors, a handful of bats failed to hold the
Transylvanian capital. At the same time an army of Fremen warriors advanced
north along the banks of the Shai River into the Valley of the Kings,  routing
another army of bats.

Lizardmen Battle Hawks
The Hawkmen crossed the Cambell
River after defeating an army of Lizardmen of the Islith clan. The Lizards
gave up their defensive position and attempted to advance against the highly
mobile Hawkmen who advanced as far as the Glen Kair Forest before some
illusionary reinforcements arrived to bolster the defense. Another army of
Hawkmen led by Blackwing routed the lizards in Inverness Swamp and attacked
the Killeran Highlands but their advance was halted by reinforcements from
Brechin Wood.

Ranger Mountain Fell
Ranger Mountain fell to an attack by the
White Hand�s ensorcelled horse archers led by a wizard. The Rangers fell back
to the Raging River to make a stand.

Poppy Prince Overthrown Again
The Poppy Prince constructed a crystal mine and five fairgrounds and was
overthrown due to having no troops to enforce his rule or collect taxes. He
was hated by his people and won�t be missed.

Sage Advice: Some players seem to have difficulty maintaining control of their
kingdoms. This shouldn�t be that difficult.  The rules say a church oriented pl
ayer should tithe at least 10% of his production a tur This is one silver talen
t. It should follow that if a player spends abouthis much on the military or Br
ead and Circuses or terror it should suffi to maintain  control. One might expe
ct that the Church, being able to thaten eternal punishment for rebels and with
 its own local network of infoers (so to speak), might be more effective than a
 bread and circus bribe  maintaining control. Therefore you�d probably have to
spend more than one lent to retain control, maybe two or three talents, just to
 make sure. In any se spending NOTHING is a sure recipe for disaster.Remember,
if you don�t have forest foraging your armies cannot enter forest unless there
is a road or you bring a supply train with you. The same goes true for desert,
mountains and swamp.

Please note that a Spade of Colossal Excavation negates
the defensive value of a castle. It does not give any CP bonus.
