An update to the ongoing War in Channelwood:

Red forces have swooped in to take over the Oasis. As of now, Red holds the resources. The Senate is under CLA control with a majority hold over the Windmill. A confrontation between Adrite Mateev, Vermillion Jarlis, and Indigo Jheorge broke out, but the latter fled.

As the day closes, it truly seems like Sapphire Liana and Cobalt Sarna have quit the conflict.

If anyone takes notice of Sarna another worlds, please apprehend her. We are not sure how involved the conspiracy goes, and Blue Leadership had deflected questions on this issue.

The most gleamed from the conflict is an offhand comment from Sarna saying she was fighting Reds elsewhere. She does not however disclose any further.

Here are the chief crimes of the Dwellers in question:

Ardite Mateev: Committing acts of terrorism: attacked the Sa parade with explosives at the Fountain, attempting to kill Nobles' Guild leader Azure Lain in the process and wounding countless others. Wanted for questioning by Burgundy Faran and others, once the War is over.

Burgundy Faran: Inciting riots: attacked the Oasis and the people working on the Oasis' improvements when the Oasis got their supplies before the Lookout. Wants to shelter Ardite until more information can be learned from him.

Cobalt Sarna: Inciting riots: attacked Chell Henderson, Orchid and company with a mob of blue Dwellers after Chell's trial, after Chell and company were already on their way out of the Age. Acted against Sapphire Liana's orders when the riot was incited, but no punishments have been handed down upon Cobalt since their riot that ousted Chell.

Sapphire Liana: Commited extreme Dweller taboo by breaking the peace of the Channelwood Senate: attacked Zeal Ruin at the Senate, sparking off the Second War for Channelwood. Sapphire Liana was the first one to mention that there was a rumor circulating about that a blue Dweller was seen meeting with Ardite Mateev before the terrorist attacks at the Fountain. When Zeal Ruin confronted Sapphire Liana about her involvement in the explosions that have rocked Sa, Sapphire attacked Zeal Ruin and started the Second War for Channelwood.

No one is blameless.

Now the Channelwood Liberation Army and the blues of the Oasis are the same entity, and they seek to crush and oust the reds of the Lookout.

There is no conspiracy to let the reds take Channelwood for themselves... far from it. If anything, the conspiracy is to create an all-blue Channelwood by combining the CLA with the forces of the blues.

Look out, Channelwood - the Dwellers are about to paint the Age red.

It isn't so much conspiracy by the Blue Faction, but a conspiracy involving one Blue Dweller who was supposedly seen with Ardite Mateev prior to the latter's attack(s). From reports on multiple Dwellers safeguarding Mateev after the attack along with information pointing the finger at Red for the assassination of Eva Perce, it's safe to say that the Reds may have been taken over by an outside power. With mention that a Blue Dweller was seen raises the question if the Blue Faction is similarly infiltrated by another power.

It's been confirmed by Sapphire Liana that Cobalt Sarna was not on Channelwood just as Mateev was not; Leadership on both sides were not aware of their business off Channelwood. It might be a coincidence, but I'd like to be sure we don't have another threat to Channelwood encouraging this war and aggression within and without.

The CLA literally offered to let the Reds be declared victors in the war if you would oust Burgundy from power but yes there must be some pro blue conspiracy afoot. Come on.

Unlike the people of the Oasis, Burgundy still has the hearts and the wills of his people on his side. He did not start this war, nor did he order the assassination attempt on Azure Lain.

This one sees no reason to remove him from his leadership position.

Please, if it is essential to your plans that Burgundy be removed from power, then do it yourself - you and all the others currently joined to the blue-aligned forces.

This one is sure you can strike some kind of deal with Burgundy Faran once he is defeated, just as you were able to do with Sapphire Liana.

By virtue of the reds being involved in all the terrorist attacks here and the fact that Ardite was the one to assassinate Azure, he is partially to blame for not bringing him in line, even if he didn’t specifically order the attack. The fact that he has made no official announcement denouncing Ardite’s actions also dirty his hands.

You are an idiot for trying to defend and support them. Seriously Vermillion, get your head out of your rear end. I swear, if I have to come over and beat Burgundy up myself, I will.

Also again Vermilion, it is impossible for me to capture Burg, the only reason why Sapphire got captive was because again... I beat her in a one on one duel and once she retreated since the blues decided to handover leadership to the CLA they also turn her over.

Fine: rather than killing Sapphire Liana you have captured her and taken control of her army, which still desires the exile of the reds: something that you have promised them.

This one thought the goal of the CLA was "not to exile whatsoever," but by agreeing to lead the blues into battle you have clearly chosen a side.

This one currently fights for the underdog, here. You and the rest of the CLA are the big force coming into the Age with armaments and soldiers from outside, seeking to force the reds out of their homes in a war that they didn't even start.

If you want Burgundy Faran removed from power because that's the only way you believe peace can be attained, then remove him yourself. As you might expect, he's sitting at the Lookout, waiting for challengers.

Burg did start the war... I mean really come on like yeah Sapphire attacked me in the Senate room but that isn't an excuse to suddenly start a war.
I don't know why you are trying to paint yourself as some noble underdog now when again... the reds intended goal has always been exile as well, at the very least this is only for a month and no one has to die.

This one is not asking for you to kill Burgundy Faran: he is asking "why can't you extend the same olive branch to Burgundy Faran that you extended to Sapphire Liana and the blues?"

Why must this end in one side's exile, and if it must, what do you expect the reds to do in response to overwhelming forces from outside converging on their homes?

I dunno its almost like we are in some sort of situation where due to the confines of the media and its structure there are certain rules and processes in place that make up our world that would not allowed that.

When this one joined the Second War for Channelwood, there were only two sides available.

He had wanted to get more information from Ardite Mateev, and to convince the man to turn himself in for the act of terrorism he'd committed. If Ardite had refused, this one had sought to defect to the CLA.

Now that he has begun fighting in earnest, however, he has found it rather impossible to defect.
