West Sirion/An Attempt to Halt Sirion's Aggression

From BattleMaster Wiki

October 14, 2004

Lalakis who was the Prime Minister of West Sirion at that time, made a final attempt to avoid both allinaces and conflicts with other Realms until the resolve of the internal problems of Avamar. However, Doc responded with another attack... Our final chance was to form alliances with al willing nations to halt Doc's aggression!

That was the plan he proposed:



Rulers of the World, People of the East Continent,

This message aims to short out few things and ask for your intermediation in this conflict! I took the initiative to contact you as the new elected ruler of our realm, after the assassination of Master Intro.

Doc has attacked our little realm using lies as petty excuses to mobilize his troops against us! He has insulted us, tried to threaten our people, even ask from the UN (OOC:Tom) to find possible cheatings…But you have to know some things…First of all, There is NOT a single party in West Sirion but there has been a single political movement against the past situation… And it is logical!The majority of ill-treated Troop Leaders were uprised against a corrupted governement! Actually it was not the majority but the total sum of TLs APART the tyrants who withhold positions in the government! And these were ALL banned indeed!After elections between the rest TLs of our Realm!But before even negotiating with us, Doc has started attacking our lands, setting his troops to murderous mode and protecting the rogues while they were marauding our regions! He used all possible tactics to support Sceptre and Evylears to organize a rebellion that we have managed to overcome! They tried to negotiate with us, we gave them a second opportunity (we intended to do the same with the rogues but their behaviour made that impossible) and the thing they did was to assign militia set up by US to begin the rebellion!

Secondly, the Black Hand is an organization FOR the people, against all forms of violence! It is not some kind of a bunch of religious fanatics eager for power! It is rather a political-philosophical organization, which had to remain secret in order to avoid the continual threats and punishments the former government used to assign in order to keep the people submitted. Although its structure is democratic we don’t fight against a certain regime or political system. There are Monarchies and even Tyrannies that worked much better, giving much more initiatives and freedom to simple TLs than the Former “Republic” of Sirion. We fight against individuals that behave in an arrogant and insulting way, believing only to themselves! And that is why we used the legal means to gain the ruling of West Sirion, not beginning a rebellion or trying to assassinate the legitimate rulers. We passed them though through a public trial and the people decided for their banning. I was the “bad” guy, the Judge, who had the unfortunate task to execute people’s order. So Doc is mad with me, not accepting that 20 TLs stand against his mighty will and his puppets! He preferred to wipe us out, than try to have a dialogue and bargaining! So that explains why we had to turn ourselves on you and ask for any available help or intermediation!

We are willing to forget Doc’s fanatic behaviour and all the evil things did to our people…but we need to be assured for his true intentions. We cannot be based simply on his lies again!

Here is my plan and I ask for your support:

1. From now on West Sirion will be an independent Republic form Sirion. Our Diplomatic relations with Sirion will be set to neutral and any further changes will be based on further negotiations. 2. Doc will resign his troops IMMEDIAETELY from our lands and he’ll pay 1000 Gold to compensate the damages his troops have done to our regions. Additionally he will stop spreading lies and doing a hideous propaganda against us! 3. The Brotherhood of the Black Hand will be disbanded and all its members from Sirion will return to their homelands within the next month, without causing any troubles to the legitimate government of Sirion. In case that Doc is willing to offer shelter to our hated enemies, banned forever from our lands, we will accept it without considering it a “casus beli”. In case that he still doubts for the legitimacy of the current government he is welcome to observe the upcoming elections, count the results and think if there was any chance for the few tyrants to win the elections. One of the reasons, the tyrants were banned it was because we were afraid of a rebellion…rebellion it was what we got anyway, but we won’t do the same mistake again! Additionally we won’t post to the entire world his messages that uncover his true face and the tricks he assigned to submit our people to his will and disorganize our defenses (all messages of Doc and his puppets are kept in an archive in Avamar! Finally, all infiltrators send against us by foreign governments will be freed and there will be no diplomatic impact, nor compensation will be ever asked.

In case that you are interesting for any further details please contact me and I’ll do my best to enlighten you about past and present conditions in the former West Sirion!

With the utmost respect,

Sir Lalakis, Prime Minister of the Former Republic of West Sirion
