All hail noble ladies and gentlemen!

Unfortantely the bad news don't stop. As I reported in the last chronicle record a cruel war has rioted on the western border of our realm for several years. After the luck of the battel swyed to and fro between the troops of Siegfried and ours, it came to armistice talks at the instance of Lords Taurik. Alberich couldn't forget the occupation of Siegfried's troops on parts of our realm and demanded relentlessly parts of Siegfried's realm as reparation. Unfortantely these negotiations failed because he insisted on this demand and on the other hand because of the obsucure behaviour of Siegfried. He actually said that he would be interested in a ceasefire but still he attacked us with his men. In the end the lords Taurik, Fox, Siegfried and Alberich figured out that there is no agreement and so the fight went on. Now thousands of men of our folk has died on the battle field and still there is no prospect of an end. Very often I sit desperately on my desk and read the new reports from the front. Thereby I found out something very interesting. There is hardly any talk of the troops of Lord Wolfen. It seems like he totally pulled back from the battle field. While his beadle Siegfried is fighting he is just stiring up hatred against our alliance and my master via letters sometimes. Recently Siegfried drove the war to a new unexpected cruelty. He decided to raid in our realm with his men and to occupy our estates. Within a short time we lost huge areas in the west. Unfortunately we don't receive news from other lords of Tamar because of the war. I just heard that in other parts it is more peaceful than here. I only hear sometimes news about actions from differen lords. Alberich's ally Taurik just learned that also his realm is not save for acts of war. His scouts told him that on his border several armies of Lord Ironheart have stationed there. It almost looked like they would get ready for an attack. But some letters which were exchanged between these both realms explained that it was just a precaustion of Ironhearts. As we sighed with relief we received bad news. Due to a carelessness we received a letter which was written by Wolfen for Siegfried and actually this letter was classified. So we learnt that Siegfried is executing the administration of Ironheart's realm from time to time. So I have the suspicion that not only Lionheart but also Ironheart is an ally of this pact. So I end this report with not much hope of better news.
