I will re-call history accurately as best of my memory. I wont claim to know about all the things Perdan had problem with Caligus with but those that I have heard a mention of I will make reference to. Those that i dont I will ask you to point it out to me.

I will start with the time when Caligus was in Partora and with Perdan and Itorunt we warred Yssaria, Tuchanon and Ibladesh. Perdan assisted Caligus with 5K CS most of the time and Caligus did a quick mopping of Yssaria and quickly regained Domus and all surrounded regions. Shortly after about the same time we aquired Mashhad Queen Evangeline asked if we could return Partora to them now. I had some internal problems where our general was insisting he be allowed an assault on the walls of Hamadan which i was against however he wouldnt listen at the time and Caligus wasted an army dying on the walls. This made a delay and I think i got wounded which delayed me further. I immediately marched all the way from Hamadan to Partora and returned it to Perdan. I also returned Mulhouse and Meuse before the required dates to try and compensate for the delay. I know in Perdan some considered the Caligus were never going to return Partora but I can promise you that thought was never considered. Caligus held Perdan in the highest regards especially at that time and we would never have turned on you. (I only made reference to this because I have heard the story come from Perdan mouths before it was never an issue in Caligus)

As far as I know that war ended Yssaria was destroyed and nothing else really happened between Perdan and Caligus. Caligus was not happy with Fontan who grew too big and were repeatedly threatening Caligus with vengence for not leaving Yssaria alone. After some time Perdan and Caligus entered the war with Sirion against Fontan. Caligus and Perdan agreed to make a realm in Westmoor as a joint realm with Caligus focussing on the southern border and Perdan up north well at least that was the agreement. Westmoor city was to go to Mungo we was in Caligus the same Duke that was there when Oligarch was alive. Obviously the city and rulership went to Evangeline and Caligus was basically shut out from a say in the colony. This is something we let slide.

I think the problem here was with the confederacy of Fontan where Gregor succeeded from Fontan itself and made his own realm. However, Caligus let bygones be bygones and aided the confederacy as much as possible. All was going well until the CoF deliberately let Fontan take Viseu from Caligus with just 3K CS while they sat in An Najaf. Once Fontan succeeded they moved in and took the region. It had nothing to do with issues of who gets the region after the war it was deliberate sabatage of a realm we were aiding as much as possible to survive.

Here is a report from the newspaper themselves without giving dates but its goes on my story

I can tell you this angered Caligus alot so we remained in Tokat when Fontan assaulted Viseu again and took it back. However because of this we didnt let CoF die. Fontan marched a full army of over 30K CS. Caligus had 12K CS and couldnt do anything to stop the assault on Fontan city. In the end Caligus couldnt stop the death of the realm whether we wanted to or not. I know I had complained about Clarissa and actually not helping Caligus enough as we were constantly outnumbered by fontanese in the south. They were losing up north to Perdan, Sirion and OR but in the south we were horribly outnumbered far too much. The only thing that Caligus can be blamed for is not suiciding our whole army when Fontan occupied CoF's city. It would have done no good.

Soon After Westmoor was formed and Sirion's ruler Handow plotted against Westmoor and Perdan with Fontan. Caligus along with Perdan and Westmoor left the war. Caligus went to aid Itorunt as Ibladesh was slowly beating them. Perdan warred with Tuchanon with Sangue issuing a death warrant on them without reasoning. Discussions were held and agreed to by Perdan, Itorunt and Caligus that Isadril city would go to Caligus. Itorunt would get Igno and Tota and some regions from Ibladesh and even perhaps a city from them. As you know Perdan assaulted the walls many times I personally offered my aid several times to King Sangue to help them breach the walls of Isadril and not to waste so many Perdanese lives by being stubborn. I never got a reply from Sangue.

At the same time Ibladesh and Caligus were fighting with Caligus making headway into Ibladesh lands taking Mines, Moyale and Ar Raqqah without any help from Itorunt. We started to question what Itorunt was doing and the next thing we saw was a joint force of Itorunt and Perdan rallying to assault Isadril itself. Before the attack I reminded them of prior agreement and Sangue didnt reply and Itorunt's ruler said the city would go to them now since they were assaulting it. The attack failed however and Caligus out of anger as we had been saved them from Ibladesh left the war out of disgust we made peace with Ibladesh and also decided to peacefully talk to Tuchanon about letting them enter Caligus peacefully. Caligus would have aided Perdan on the walls of Isadril out of respect to our allies. We didnt agree with the death warrant proposed on Tuchanon but we had offered our aid many times but we were constantly treated like infidels by your ex-King Sangue. After a year and a half of being treated very inferior and with the backstabbing dont with Perdan choosing Itorunt of Caligus, Caligus couldnt turn a blind eye any longer and we deliberately took Isadril which had been agreed to us prior anyways. I offer no explanation to this happening but I can assure you even the Perdan supporting Caligeans like Cartor and Waylander agreed to this move fully. From our part enough was enough.

Right after this happened Lefanis ruler of Itorunt began to throw slander after slander at myself and Caligus and I lowered relations from ally to neutral. You may have read this as I know it went into curculation for some time. Caligus at this point still did not attack Itorunt. After a while Itorunt decided to pick again on Caligus so we marched an army down and burned Xavax. At this point Perdan declared war on Caligus with our army still down south. We sort of knew attackign Itorunt would draw on Perdan's wrath but Caligus felt it was time that it no longer was afraid to do the right thing (in our opinion) and stand up for what we believe in.

I will firmly hold my ground that Sangue's goal was to slowly deteriorate relations diliberately with Caligus. I never felt the old bonds of friendship that I had had with Clarissa, Evangeline and Nightmare. This is a re-collection of all the deeds I did both good and those that are questionable but it is the truth to you. As a ruler you know yourself you have to make the right decision for your people and your realm. I always felt I have done that and I will continue doing so for as long as im here.

If you have any questions or any points you would like to address you may do so. Theres alot of history and I very well may have missed something.
