+ | date = 5-27-08| | ||
+ | author = Alise Athins| | ||
+ | article = Both Caligus and Perdan have declared war against Fontan. They cite Fontan's impractical ways as their reasons for attacking us. Here are the announcements their rulers made to the rulers of the continent: | ||

+ | |||
+ | <i>Letter from Sangue Raiva (54 minutes ago) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Message sent to the Rulers of this world (10 recipients) | ||
+ | |||
+ | I am tired of the death of destruction in the north. Fontans rampant need to destroy every realm near them. Despite their democratic roots, they are acting more and more like a tyrannical Empire. Ironically, I declare war on Fontan as they complete the TO of their 8th duchy. Gregor petitioned me to support his new realm. I was hoping that once Fontan achieved 7 duchies they would slow on their Imperialistic ways, but watching their continued intent for domination I decided that action was needed. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Sir Sangue Raiva | ||

+ | King of Perdan | ||

+ | |||
+ | Message sent to the Rulers of this world (10 recipients) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Greetings, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | I will support my allies Sirion in this war against Fontan and also Gregor for standing up to Fontan. Fontan has become nothing but a bully who thinks they can but in every realms business. I also heard Fontan was going to re-create Yssaria. That alone makes you my enemy along with the past insults by Tal to Caligus. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | I will see you on the field. | ||

+ | |||
+ | King of Caligus</i> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Say what they want, we all know the reason for this war. Caligus is greedy, they want back the regions they lost to LoF years ago. Who can forget the letters between Tal and doombringer which had been shared in the assembly where doombringer demanded back the regions of Akesh Temple, Tokat, and Sordidus for nothing in return after many Fontan lives had been spent to remove them from the treacherous hand of LoF. Fontan had even offered Caligus the regions of Akesh Temple and Sordidus, but Caligus would only accept all or nothing. This just shows us the true color of Caligus.}} | ||

+ | headline=Treachery| | ||
+ | date = 5-27-08| | ||
+ | author = Alise Athins| | ||
+ | article = Duke Gregor of Fontan City seceded his city away to form the Confederacy of Fontan. His announcement came in a message to the Assebly saying; | ||
+ | ''''Letter from Gregor Relak '''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''Message sent to everyone in message group "Fontan Assembly" (44 recipients)'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ''My brothers and sisters of Fontan,'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''We have fought many wars together you and I, it was I who formally defined the powers of the Assembly when I was Chancellor, and it was I who have been your most ardent supporter. We have lost our political battle against those who would ignore the people. The military elite has usurped the powers inherent to the people. Where once this body was the political nexus of all that made Fontan great, now this space is a hollow shell of a thing. No-more does the Chancellor seek the approval of this body to enact change. No more are things debated vigorously producing the finest policy that Fontan’s collective wisdom can muster. No more is our realm a democracy. It is a tyranny of military ideals, and military might.'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''This thing I cannot stand to let live. Therefore it is with much consternation, much introspective thought and due consideration of all the options available to me and to we the people, that I declare a state of civil war to exist in Fontan. My Duchy will henceforth be free from the shackles of this oppressive government, will live freely under my rule, and will do its utmost to reclaim for freedom the lands so many have died to protect. I know that I am not alone in my sentiments, and therefore I call upon all nobles of Fontan, all Lords and Dukes to stand against this government, and to join with me in arms.'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''Mighty friends have been saddened by Fontan’s descent, and their support will bolster our cause against the established powers. Our cause is just, our strength unmatched, and peace shall rule our lands once again. Give up your hearts to joy and wonderment in life once more, and lift up your sword in salute to our fair land of freedoms. Join with me my brothers, and embrace once more the patriotic fervor which has made us great.'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ''Gregor Relak'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''Duke of Fontan'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The regions of Sordidus, Tokat, and Negev followed their Ducal Capital in the session. It is clear this move was planned out, and opurtunly comes on the eve of iminent war with Caligus. | ||
+ | |||
+ | One must wonder, has Our old Chancellor finally gone mad? He creates a Tyranny in the name of Democracy. Weather he is insane or not, he is most definitely a '''TRAITOR'''.}} | ||
