Aragon
All Hail! The annals of Aragon will resound with the echoes greatness! By the blessed virgin we have united Spain. The proud Leonese and Castileans have fallen after their treachery! Portugal could do little to stop our advance Fernan de Alba burned their citadel after a bloody battle and Horacio the Wrathful put an end to their dreams when he took the women of their capital...and the Lord above shone on our conquests of the Almohads and spain is one. we continue to seek out the Almohads in the deserts, and a resurgent Sicily may cause problems in the future, but for now, we are victorious!
The Montesa warrior monks have favored Aragon, truly seeing the light of God as we carry out his divine will, their disciplined soldier have turned battles in our favor more than once! Let us not forget their fabled charge on the flanks of the Leonese assaulting the gates of Castle Loarre.
Grim tidings, words reaches us here in this monastery(where of course records are written) that Jimeno Sotomayer has abandoned his post guarding Barcelona and Zaragoza...apparently it was too much to watch while others piled up wealth and dukedoms...we pray that he doesnt provoke neutral France...
With our armies still exhausted and recoverong from the campaigns to unite Spain, we are little prepared for a war with France, having no other recourse young Goncalo de Belmonte has been dispathed along with his captain, to raise an army capable of defending our lands if they arent able to catch Jimeno...
Winter snows have ground Jimeno to a halt, by now his men must be grumbling over such inconvenience...
Motesa have rallied to our aid, inspiring also the common folk to reshape their farm tools to spears and take the cause as well...perhaps we can catch Jimena before greater damage is done...
