Rajavanshi Rebels Unite; Sagana Prepares Medina Visit
October 4433

In major news regarding the development of the newly-proclaimed Confederated League of Vasakana, President T. Sagana has announced that she is planning to visit Medina and meet the new Medinese Emperor, Aaban, during which she will meet and talk regarding a potential alliance between the two countries and even a potential membership bid by the Confederated League of Vasakana into the Medina-fronted Dovani Union. The meeting would also involve potentially the two working together on defeating the Kalkalistani Emperor Raghu III once and for all through technology-sharing. Sagana will also pay her respects at the sight of the grave of the Emperor Azeez of Medina, who she describes as being a figure "greatly influential in the history of the country and a beloved figure among those who knew and served him". The prospect of new support technologically for Sagana is a frightening one for those who are fighting her.
In great news for the anti-Raghu rebels in the south of Kalkalistan, the two rebel Rajavanshi princes have united their forces and can now begin to work together to fight their opponents. Princes Mrigaj of Vora and Tarun of Vatavana united earlier this month after defeating the loyalist army sent to keep them separated. This victory, the largest yet achieved by the rebels without Vanakalamese help, has spurred enough confidence in the populous that rebellious riots have swarmed the severely weakened loyalist Rajavanshi prince's and their cities, threatening to tip the balance of power against the imperial court despite the numerical advantage that it seemed like Raghu of Kayal had started this war with. His only encouragement recently has been the effective brutality of his wife Lakshmi of Bhapor, whose crucifixions of dissidents has severely damaged the willingness of locals in the area to rebel against their overlords, at least in the central provinces.
Vanakalamese troops have continued to push out the northern loyalists from their strongholds, taking out the ancestral castle of High Prince Zalim and his family, to whom Emperor Raghu is a member, severely weakening the fighting resolve of loyalists in the area. Varakanaraja castle was taken by Vanakalamese forces after its garrison was withdrawn to reinforce the city of Sharya which has became the last place in imperial brother Zalim's home principality of Ajuna and thus is extremely valuable to the prince and the entire rebellion. Losing Sharya would constitute an extremely crushing blow to the economy and the morale of loyalist troops, particularly those fighting against the veteran Vanakalamese forces in the far north. Despite the middling overall success the rebel cause has had as of yet in this war, including the factor of the Empress and her reign of terror over her own supposed subjects, the tide is subtly shifting. Rumours of Sagana investing in experimental weaponry remain denied.
