More Enweilian Propoganda

“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it”

This seems to be the Enweilian mantra in recent times. Not a few days after Riombara rejected an offer from the monsters to gain two new duchies and a vast bounty of food to be able to feed itself at last, Enweilian propaganda machine resumes its unwarranted attack on Riombara, even as it asks our aid to defeat the monsters attacking its cities.

Ironic indeed, that while Enweil bandies around accusations of dealing with monsters, its own Duke is negotiating a deal with the Netherworld to construct a temple of the Blood Cult in Fengen. It is indeed the same Enweil that during the third invasion, chose to attack Fwuvoghor and steal some land, rather than help Riombara defeat the daimons in Athol Margos. Nothing has changed about its imperialistic big brother attitude.

Playing us for fools

The Enweilian propaganda machine in is full swing, spewing lies about the happenings down South. Not two weeks ago, they vehemently denied any dealing made with the monsters. Now, here are words from Chancellor Alex's own quill.

"Let me tell you that I did make an agreement with monsters and handed over Fymmen Otu to them, but it was to stop them from taking over all my coastal regions."

So much for for Enweilian sincerity. They not only made a deal with the monsters, they even pointed them down south, to attack Riombara and the Dominion.

Now to address another of Enweil's lies- They claim they offered the South aid. Their Field Marshal, noted Blood Cultist Nicolas Chenier, did send a missive to Southern Generals asking if they needed aid. However, when High Constable Olivier of Riombara replied to this missive, he received no response. Apparently, Chenier fell ill. How convenient.

News arrived this morning that Enweilios had been sacked by monster forces. It is poetic justice that Enweil is facing the very same thing it turned on the Dominion. No awards for guessing Enweil's response to this, however. As soon as it realized that the monsters were intent on fighting it as well, it began requested alliances with Riombara. Does Enweil take us for naïve fools, to take advantage of Riombara's good will in such a way?

Dominion beaten back

After a valiant struggle, in which they lost all but their capital region, Dominion of Alluran accepted peace with the monsters, and agreed to an alliance with them to defeat the daimons, agreeing to give up its Southern territory. The Dominion fought tooth an nail for every one of its regions, and its brave efforts wont be forgotten.

In other news, Nicolas Chenier, Field Marshal of Enweil, has referred to the ex God of Netherworld, Valachi as feeling like his family. Valachi, who was arrested two days ago by Lord Nigel, currently rots in Riombaran prisons and is scheduled to be burnt at the stake for his crimes against humanity. Interrogation reports will soon be made public.

Monsters ravage the South, and treachery in Enweil

Not many days have passed by since the monsters were first sighted in Jidington, Shifgrethor, Hep Monga, and Rinqen, 3 weeks ago. They weren't idle and immediately declared war on our allies, the Dominion, rapidly taking over territory. The Southern armies fought numerous battles against them, but even a victories were pyrrhic- The monsters replaced their fallen as easily as water fills a goblet.

Notable battles were-

My own brother fell in battle in Hoelorr, bravely fighting of the monster assault down till the last man. You wont see such courage in a realm like Enweil however, its huge armies idling and feasting in Fengen. They care not for the rest of humanity, indeed, startling reports have come to the light about Enweil's role in the monster attacks to the South.

Wisdom of Gilgamesh, told us that Enweil had asked them to attack the South. These were his words-


"We were informed by the kind Chancellor that the south east lands had such in abundance, and according to the reports of my Sword such is the case. "


"This Chancellor? I do not know. I know his full title is Supreme Chancellor of Enweil, just like your title of Great Chamberlain of Riombara. I do not care to remember human names."


"Enweil has spoken regarding your people, that you are insidious and evil."


"Enweil has stated that the people of the south are evil and sly, and deserve to be punished. I have not seen proof of this, but it does seem that Enweil is willing to live up to its promises regarding the regions it is giving to us. "


I leave the readers to draw their own conclusion from this. If you wish to read more, the letters have been archived in the Repository of Knowledge, and the letters of Wisdoms letters about Enweil are stored here.
