+ | 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.'' | ||

+ | |||
+ | 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'''.}} | ||
