By Relkin Sypher The King of Caergoth October 25th

King Bergelmir the Fearless of Caergoth became King earlier this month. King Bergelmir yesterday stepped down from the throne to make room for King Magnus, who he had replaced, to be crowned King. However, it seems the nobility of the realm liked King Bergelmir enough to re-crown him instead of King Magnus.

Sir Magnus the Mighty Crownguard (Duke)

Message sent to the Rulers of this world (12 recipients)


Rulers of Atamarra,

I will keep this brief as mincing words is something I am loathe to do. CE has tried for the longest time to maintain a stance of neutrality towards MI. We hold no grudge against them for their involvement in this war as they were merely seeking to defend their allies. We would have done the same had our positions been reversed.

However, this most recent attack upon the Taran capital changes their position from one of mere defense to offense. As such, CE has felt it necessary to make a change in our current relations with them...as your ambassadors will most likely tell you quite shortly.

We will still abide by the gentleman's agreement to keep our troops out of MI lands as they keep theirs out of CE territories, but we cannot let such an act go unanswered, even if the answer is mostly political in nature.


In Service,


Sir Samuel Haine
Prime Minister of Cagilan Empire
