Honored Kings of the Dark Ages -
Spring is here, and now we see some of the high seas convoys that this
variant was designed to favor! The Danes send two armies across the
seas, one successfully, one that bounces with the Anglo-Saxons' own
convoy. The Gaels invade Gwynned, and read the threat of a Scottish
return correctly, positioning their other forces to defend against the
forces massing off their northern shores. And speaking of the Scots,
they decline the Anglo-Saxon offer of assistance into Lindsey, but
claim the invaluable North Sea for themselves. The Norse repel all
Danish attempts to dislodge them, but permit the Danes to introduce
another army into the theater at Alvheim. The Anglo-Saxons surround
the last Breton invader, and repulsed the Danish advance toward
Brittany. And the Bretons cling tenaciously to life, beset east and
west by the Scots and Gaels. Will the divide between those two powers
now give the Bretons a new lease on life?
In the midst of all the action, not a single retreat is needed, so we
move straight away to the Fall 830 Deadline will be Thursday, October
29, 2009, at 1700 EDT.

PRESS:
We have some outstanding press this season. We’ll start with Scott’s
press, from the land of the Norse…
*ahem*
Piss OFF!!!
*end press*
Then we move along to this eloquent passage from our Gaelic player, Nathan...
Lift MacCahir Og your face
Brooding o'er the old disgrace
That black FitzWilliam stormed your place,
Drove you to the Fern
Grey said victory was sure
Soon the firebrand he'd secure;
Until he met at Glenmalure
With Feach MacHugh O'Byrne.
Curse and swear Lord Kildare,
Feach will do what Feach will dare
Now FitzWilliam, have a care
Fallen is your star, low.
Up with halberd out with sword
On we'll go for by the lord
Feach MacHugh has given the word,
Follow me up to Carlow.
See the swords of Glen Imayle,
Flashing o'er the English pale
See all the children of the Gael,
Beneath O'Byrne's banners
Rooster of the fighting stock,
Would you let a Saxon cock
Crow out upon an Irish rock,
Fly up and teach him manners.
From Tassagart to Clonmore,
There flows a stream of Saxon gore
Oh, great is Rory Oge O'More,
At sending loons to Hades.
White is sick and Lane is fled,
Now for black FitzWilliam's head
We'll send it over, dripping red,
To Liza and her ladies.
