| The Declaration of War
|
The following is the official declaration of war issued by King Nightmare of Perdan, declaring war against Ibladesh:
| Letter from Nightmare |
| Message sent to All rulers of the East Island |
You have witnessed my repeated requests to Ibladesh, to pull out their priests from the region of Beziers, as they do not have the permission to be there and of course they do not have the permission the preach at Perdan's soil. I have asked kindly two or three times, asked less kindly another two, and gave an ultimatum when I saw that Pontifex Barzelli was not listening to kind words.
In addition, I also asked Pontifex Barzelli to close the temple of Ibladesh Church stationed in Beziers, as the region is not his anymore, and the people of Perdan do not want a religion in our lands that does not have a respect for the land's administration officers.
What was the result? Nothing. When my scribe brought me today the reports of the day regarding the region of Beziers this is what I saw:
You are being informed that Zes, a priest of Church of Ibladesh, has been seen preaching in Beziers. (this was done around 10 hrs ago)
Barzelli told me that I wounded his priests that as he claimed they were the only ones that could close the temple. So, what did the priest do when he was in a condition to comply to my request? Close the temple and move back to his lands? No, he preferred on continuing preaching without permission.
Perdan won't tolerate such behaviour.
We won't tolerate Barzelli's behaviour. We had a good relation with Lady Sorcha, a fine and very intelligent Pontifex and everything showed that a friendship was developing. I am disappointed that Barzelli's defiance of any kind of rules or ethics ruined this and proved that Perdan should not have trust in Ibladesh ruling Perdanese families.
Inevitably, Perdan is going to war with the Theocracy of Ibladesh. |

| Break in the Southern Federation
|
After many months of discontented rumblings, King Lucian of Itorunt has finally decided to officially break ranks and depart the southern federation. This resulted in immediate declarations of war from both Ibladesh and Yssaria. Although King Eleran of Yssaria immediately offered a cease-fire agreement to Itorunt, King Lucian has refused. It is now likely that Itorunt and Yssaria will be embroiled in a bitter war. For the benefit of our readers, here is the declaration made by King Lucian following Itorunt's departure from the federation:
| Roleplay from Lucian |
| Message sent to All rulers of the East island |
Itorunt cannot support the recent activities of Ibladesh in any way. Professing peace is one thing, sending messages implicitly requesting aid is another. Preaching and the spirituality of the peasantry is one thing, inciting them to usurp their masters is another. We understand that the Church of Ibladesh wishes to protect its congregation, but by no stretch of the imagination can this include the demonization of any realm.
As most of you know, this is but one of a number of conflicts Ibladesh and Itorunt have had for some time. In the spirit of seeing our friendship endure, Itorunt was willing to wipe the slate clean. However, we cannot stand idly by any longer after this. If the priests of Ibladesh are content to preach sedition in foreign realms, what prevents them from doing so in mine against me, while hiding behind the mask of friendliness? While I doubt this, my confidence is shaken.
As such, I must remove Itorunt from the Southern Federation. It has been a long time coming, and perhaps its renewed existence was a fool's dream. I would hope for peace in our south, but I am not optimistic to that outcome. |

| Ibladesh's Duplicity: No war, but we will use our religion against you!
|
| Pontifex Barzelli has announced to the rulers that he will not pursue war to return Beziers to Ibladesh. But contrary to this promise, he then moved his priests into the region and used their influence to stir the population against Perdan.
The duplicity of his statements did not go unheeded by Perdan. In consequence, diplomatic relations were dropped to neutral and Ibladesh has been warned once again to move their priests out of Perdan's regions. - Evangeline Uceek

| Beziers Returns to Perdan!
|
In a surprising turn of events, the commoners of Beziers have revolted against the theocratic leadership of Ibladesh and declared loyalty to Perdan! Perdanese nobles are hailing the return of Beziers to its rightful masters. The nobles of Perdan have immediately organized work parties and bureaucratic support for the region.
The final straw for the people of Beziers appears to have been an attack on the region by a group of monsters nearly two weeks ago. Response to the threat was very slow, and the region suffered their depredations for nearly a full week before troops could be brought to eradicate them. By that time, however, the region had been devastated. With morale and loyalty at rock bottom, and control slipping, the Ibladeshians were unable to remedy the situation fast enough. After nearly a week with little improvement, the peasants finally decided they had enough, and declared a renewed dedication to their former masters of Perdan. The entire realm of Perdan is united in welcoming the commoners of Beziers back.

| Queen Evangeline Stepping Down
|
Queen Evangeline of Perdan has announced that, after one full year of leading Perdan, she will be stepping down to pursue other interests. The following message was delivered by the Queen when announcing her decision:
| Report from Evangeline |
| Message sent to everyone in Perdan |
Nobles of Perdan,
It has been an honour and a pleasure to be your Queen for the past year and a bit. Perdan is truly the strongest and best realm on the East Continent.
I have worked hard at improving our relationships with other realms and have established some very good friendships, I expect this will make a difference when war breaks out.
I feel now that its time for me to give to someone else a chance to lead and represent Perdan to the continent. Perhaps they will find opportunities and ways that I could not see. I will allow two days before stepping down for those who wish to campaign to do so, and for everyone to set their voting.
My service will always be with Perdan and its nobles that I care for more than anything in this world.
Yours in battle!
|
| Evangeline (Queen of Perdan) |
The nobles of Perdan wish to thank Queen Evangeline for her dedicated and faithful service to the Realm. Discussions of a possible successor for Queen Evangeline have centered around Sir Nightmare Aroo, Duke of Perdan. As a result, discussions have also begun as to who would succeed Duke Nightmare as Duke of Perdan City. Given the wealth and prestige attendant with such a position, there are sure to be many volunteers.
