Astonishing

Enzeru, how are you locked in a Mhedian temple AND editing my paper, printed in Fronepu?

==Response== *deleted*

Enzeru. Enzeru, that name is missing a title. I have almost always called you Prime Minister, Duke, Lord, Steweard, Estimable Sir, something. It really feels odd not to give you a title. More to the point though, you do realize the magnitude of your crime. You know I did not plan to kill you but now that you mention it execution DOES seem fitting.

Lets see what you've done.

1. You endorsed a ruler whose clear goals were to obtain and hold power as well as to remove liberties.

2. You sent out Dukes into exile. Dukes who have been with you for years.

3. You've questioned the nobility of our Minister without justification.

4. You've endorsed rebellion and therefore the killing of your countrymen.

5. You've cause embarrassed Fronen, formerly the most powerful realm on the continent, in front of every other nation.

6. You severly weakened our military.

7. You have weakened the realm's economy.

8. You've betrayed my trust. I was your vassal until you became Prime Minister. I trusted your judgement and expected your support. I supported you until your treason. You NEVER supported me, and you did not make good judgment.

That is all off the top of my head. I invite other LOYAL Fronen nobles to add to this list. Nobody cares about you and Arianna. I hardly know the girl anyway. I wonder Enzeru, if you realize just how idolized you were? You had the respect of the entire realm. Do you wonder why both sides of the conflict thought you were on their side before you announced your treachery? It was so.... so much of a disappointment to us all. Now your glorified name will go down in history books as the greatest traitor the Republic has ever seen.

I shall ask the House of Lords what they think about execution for you. After thinking about the degree of your treason it might be called-for.

Message from Purgatory

Well it looks like while I'm here waiting to have my wounds heal, I get a notice before I pass out again...that "honorable" Grand Justiciar Alexius decideds to ban me.

If you had the decency, at least wait til I heal, instead of banning me here in my tent and wait until the 3 days come and then you can execute me.

And one other thing, Apothes is just jealous that he doesn't have a female companion to call his own. So he decides to accuse me of "other" likings.

Until I'm recovered, Enzeru out!

Avalon Provoking Fronen?

For the second time now, Avalon has been caught breaking the conditions of the Avalon-Fronen peace treaty by attacking Plergoth troops in a region they have claims on, which breaks article 6 of the treaty. The other breach of the treaty had been disrespecting article 12. This is stirring things up in Fronen, and I, for one, do not appreciate watching Avalon involve itself in a conflict that does not regard it instead of letting their weapons rust and break apart. With RoF currently blocking our path to the south, irritated nobles are sharpening their swords in anticipation for future bloodshed.

Huh? Fwuvoghor Provoking Fronen

Okay it seems to me there is a win-win situation for Fronen and Fwuvoghor. Fwuvoghor lets us pass and we agree not to attack Irombrozia. After all, Riombara can handle them and we can fight off Luz de Bia while they do. Neither Fronen nor Fwuvoghor breaks an alliance that way. We also should keep in mind that Fronen is the biggest military power on the continent. Our army is roughly three and a half times larger than Fwuvoghor's. We've also proven that we will take action against those who keep us from aiding our ally. Avalon tried that and Avalon we beaten badly. Also, Avalon was more powerful militarily(though probably not intellectually) than Fwuvoghor. If Avalon was crushed so badly Fwuvoghor stands no chance in a war. Fwuvoghor knows their are only two nations sending military aid to Riombara, Thalmarkin and Fronen. Thalmarkin has sent less than 2000CS to help the cause, mainly because of the great distance that must be crossed from Thalmarkin to Riombara. Fronen has contributed thousands of CS worth of soldiers to the Riombaran cause. Fronen is the only nation that will really be affected by this and Fwuvoghor knows that. They really are asking for war with Fronen.

There's an easy way around that war, but whether our two Republics will choose to take the easy way is all speculation.

I agree with Alexius on all points, and in my opinion, this is shared among pretty much every noble of Fronen (some would call for more drastic measures though). I just wanted to add a simple speculation to this, a little food for thought for the RoF. If war breaks out, what do they expect to happen? Most likely, their realm will be utterly destroyed and all their regions given to Riombara, aiding them further in their conflicts. In other words, RoF declaring war on us is like restraining our armies for a day and then joining us to attack Iromboriza. I doubt that is what they want, and they should quickly send another emissary to Fronepu offering right of passage. I used to view RoF highly, but this move just wasn't wise.
