Declaration of War between the Kingdom of Perdan and the Constitutional Monarchy of Perleone

In response to the following grievances held by the Kingdom of Perdan against the Constitutional Monarchy of Perleone:

• Refusal to return the region of Al Aquabah to Perdan, which Perdan considers rightfully part of our realm after was abandoned by King Gaheris, and became part of Perdan and was met with no claim enforcement or protest by any member of Perleone.
• Refusal to engage in diplomatic discussions with Perdan about the return of the region.
• The continuing abandonment of regions and peoples by Perleone leading to a widespread increase in roguelands in the south from which monsters and other unnatural creatures spawn and terrorize the people who live there, as a result of Perleone's inability to administrate the number of regions they hold with their current administrative capacity.
• The outrageous claim by Perleone that it still owns these regions despite admitting to considering the regions abandoned.

An attack this past evening by a Perleone knight against militiamen stationed lawfully within the Perdan region of Az Zarqua which Perleone holds no claim to, nor was welcomed or authorized to travel through.

The Kingdom of Perdan considers that it is at war with the Constitutional Monarchy of Perleone following the Perleone attack against the region of Az Zarqua, the most recent of the listed grievances.

Additionally, In that Al Aquabah was announced to be abandoned by the Constitutional Monarchy of Perleone, AND In that Perdan accepted the oath of protection towards the people of Al Aquabah. AND In that Perleone made no challenge or protest for the region to be returned to Perleone at any time AND In that Perleone obtained control of the region unlawfully without the consent of its governors or their lieges AND In that Perleone refused and ignored repeated attempts to resolve the situation through diplomatic means

THEN, The Kingdom of Perdan seeks the reclamation of Al Aquabah and its subjects to the Kingdom of Perdan.

ALSO

In that Perleone holds more land than they can presently reasonably administer with the number nobles in their court AND In that Perdan can support the proper care and attention to additional peoples within her sovereignty AND In that the best interests of common people is to be ruled by government that can properly care for them and will not abandon any more regions to the growing roguelands

THEN, The Kingdom of Perdan seeks the ceding of one additional province from the Constitutional Monarchy of Perleone to the Kingdom of Perdan, that additional province being either Woolton OR Montauban.

ALSO

In that Perleone has claimed in official diplomatic correspondence to the Queen of Perdan that it owns the regions of: Zawr, Nimraw, Zamor, Jariedma, Semall, Ar Raqqa, Oc Lu Pesh, Betholm, Igno, and Abadan AND In that Perleone has not held these regions within a reasonable timespan of this declaration AND In that Perleone admitted in those same letters that it had abandoned those regions to rogue AND In that it is in the best interests of both the Continent and the common people of the roguelands in the far South that they be governed by a proper and noble government of any fully fledged realm, extant or hypothetical, including Perleone if they are able to in the future.

Then, Perleone will renounce all claims on the above list of regions, and on the regions of Al Aquabah, and whichever additional region is ceded as mentioned in the previous term of this declaration, either Woolton OR Montauban.

It is with great disappointment that that Kingdom of Perdan solemnly announces this state of war between her and the Constitutional Monarchy of Perleone. The Kingdom of Perdan recognizes the long history of cooperation and friendship between our realms and the realm of Vix Tiramora whose people now reside as one Perleone. It is our desire that this conflict be ended as quickly, and nobly as possible, and that it be conducted with honour, noble restraint, and consideration for the fate of innocent smallfolk by all involved.
