article= Another siege by the Sanguis Astroism Crusade against the Holy Kingdom of Thulsoma began. A small army from the Libero Empire and a considerably larger army from the Morek Empire launched themselves against the fortress of Storms Keep, scattering the defending army of Thulsoma. Queen Haruka Vanimedle' of Thulsoma was captured by the Morek Empire during the battle. Since then missives have been exchanged between the opposing parties, mainly concerning the nature of the Crusade.

''I remember the day quite clearly. I was amused by a statement from Haruka about how the peasants of Thulsoma were so loyal to her that they pretended to worship the Bloodstars and lied to the rest of Sanguis Astroism about it. Priestess Elsebeth was then sent to Storms Keep to teach Duchess Haruka a small lesson. Haruka not only failed to learn from that lesson she proceeded to make many more mistakes along the way by torturing priests and priestesses. Sanguis Astroism then asked Libero Empire to take care of the problem quietly. It became clear that other realms were supporting you clandestinely. It was then that the church declared an official Crusade. We succeeded in flushing out your allies. The Church of Hredmonath will be destroyed. Thulsoma will be destroyed. Averoth will be destroyed. You will be scattered to the four winds and Sanguis Astroism will flourish once again in the north. Each side will have their views. You may not like mine or call it a bunch of lies it matters not to me. ''

''And was it not true? Despite all the attempts to unseat Queen Haruka, the people of Storms Keep still remained loyal to the Kingdom of Thulsoma. Again and again the priests of Sanguis Astroism threw themselves at the city like lemmings. Again and again they failed to take the Keep. ''

''It was then that the Libero Empire declared war against the Kingdom of Thulsoma, as they say, for "purely secular reasons". Being an Empire, Libero understandably wanted to expand its borders.
