Melkor had been taken, again. Alkanphel seethed. He watched a graphic progression of the DNS Virus being chansed out of the network by the resident Electronic Defense AI, dubbed 'Niccolo.'

Soon. Yes, soon the might of Angband would be unleashed on the Elves. The troops were being gathered, ammunition production was tripled. Horns blared in the strongholds as men rushed to arm themselves and prepare.

Alkanphel stood, and strode out to the balcony, looking down at the massive iron walkway beneath him. The ground shook as the army marched over the massive bridge, a deep moat of molten rock and lava some ways beneath.

"Arda has been stirred. The Imperium has been attacked by the Elven scum, but our armies are intact. You will be meeting them shortly, you pesky, pointy-eared bastards! Arda: We call you now to war!"

Jay Reaven
Foreign Minister of the Imperium
First Speaker of the Imperial Dominion

And
Gravy

A voice, deep and resonant, and full of ancient power, spoke softly into the depths of Alkanphel's mind.

The Empire stands with you, and as long as we do, you need have no fear. Before night falls on tomorrow's world, your master shall once again stand alongside you, and the legions of Kalessin shall march alongside the Orcs of Angband against the elves of Sirithil.

ooc: This time, Lord Melkor, we are ready. No more flame. I will be serious.

Two men hurried down to a bunker deep below the Bonstocknian capital of Port Yuko. The burst into a room, where a man silently waited for them.

"Generalfeldmarchall Adolphus! We have disturbing news!"

"Calm down, Captains. What is your news?"

"It's... Lord... Melkor!"

"Lord Melkor!? What is he up to now?"

"Attacking Elves."

"Fortunatly we have no elves. But we must raise our alerts. I remember well what Lord Melkor did to Omz222, and that will not happen to Bonstock. Mobilize our troops. Show them we are prepared, and that we will not stand for their genocide of elves!"

Well, isn't this inconveniant.

~ Ambassador Relhatti

For the time being, the Kabal does nothing, as its leadership attempts to reconcile the interdiction of Imperium forces on Mars with the call to war against the elves.

Natalya recieved word of Melkor's new war upon the HMS Whiteseed, as she watched her bombers reduce the capital city of Hutu to cinders. She smiled to herself slightly at the thought of that great, horrible Empire throwing its orc hordes once again into the ranks of hapless elves. She wasn't sure why, but it sent a tingle to a certain part of her body. Natalya blushed...

We shall stand by Kalessin and the Imperium, and honour the commitment we made when the Eternal Dominion joined the Arda Alliance years ago. Come what may, we stand-and shall ever stand-tall and defiant against the enemy. This injustice will not stand, and there will come a reckoning. So vows Bradley Steelblood, Overlord of the Eternal Dominion of Wretchengard.

Overlord of Wretchengard

The Emperor of Eizen has announced a renewed call for the purging of Elves and near Elf species from within its borders.

His Majesty has also called for the total mobilization of the Eizen military. All Units not required for the defense of our territory shal be mobilized in preparations for an offensive campaign to support our freinds and allies where they are needed.

As a gesture of goodwill all Elvish prisoners in the Imperial Facility of Gulag-I shall have their death sentences delayed while we transfer any requested prisoners to the Imperial Dominion of Melkor. any prisoners not requested will be immediately shot and disposed of.

Recent tests of biological weaponry on Elves and Near Elvish species have proven too unstable for practical use in a campaign, but the full results of these programs will be made availiable to the Imperial Dominion and liek nations.

*Non-Public Excerpt from his Majesty's latest Military Briefings*

Construction has begun on the Latest Imperial Fleet including the New Flagship Neo Zanarkand, and the Eternal Twilight, the first of the new Paragon-class Fleet Carriers. Swarms of our Starscythe-II and Harbinger class bombers will be constructed as well as new Diaspola Class Cruisers, Giguere-Class Dreadnaughts, and the standard assortment of Gunboats and Frigates.

Upon completion, the Current flagship Zanarkand will be permanently stationed in defense of our capital with its complements of support craft and fighters.

The halls of the large throne room of Erikshuset, the Imperial Palace seemed a little bit more imposing to the young captain. While only a messenger, he was responsible for delivering all sensitive material to the Empress and her advisor, Lord Nilsson of the Imperial Tranquil Pacification Force, whether the news be good or bad. With the entry of Tranquillitis to Arda, he felt that his job would become a lot busier in the days to come.

The adorned halls shone their pale golden shine, due to the extent of the size of the room. The lighting was soft, accenting the features of the hall and giving it a trademark glow that was reserved for one only with the level of power that the Empress had. The large red carpet leading up to her physical throne was wide, and adorned with gold trim.

The captain quickly handed the note over to the Empress' attendents, bowed quickly, and walked as fast as he could back down the carpet and out of the door. The attendents handed the note to Empress Monique Delacroix of Tranquillitis, who read it briefly and handed it to the man seated beside her, in a somewhat less elaborate seating device, Lord Nilsson av Eriksberg, the personal advisor to the Empress. His face, which began to show the features of his 54-year-old face, studied the note intently.

"It looks as though the war horns are sounding in Angband," Nilsson said, finishing the note. "You know what we must do."

Monique closed her eyes. Her soft face was relaxed, blonde hair flowing down well past her shoulders. She was only 25, yet had organized the move of the smaller Tranquillitis nation into the Arda Alliance with many larger, much more powerful nations. She would already be a legend in Tranquillitis history, yet her part was not finished.

"We must aid our new allies," she responded, eyes still closed. It would be the first armed conflict that Tranquillitis had entered since the country's inception.

"We may not have the strength to create a large impact," Nilsson told her, "yet I assure you that the ITPF is fully prepared and will make their presence known on the battlefield." He stood, his 6'3" frame increased in height due to the elevated position of his chair, giving off an aura of intimidation. "I will make the necessary preparations. Do not worry about the details, I will handle them. You should think about what you will say to the people, Empress."

Monique nodded, still with closed eyes. "I already have something in mind. Please make haste, we cannot let Lord Alkanphel and our allies think we are tardy in reacting to matters of such importance."

OOC: <tag> As Wazzu is now moving to colonize Arda. (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=109149&highlight=) This could therefore be important to the nation for a change.

Good RP so far. Keep it up! :)

It just occures to me that MU does a lot of the "war" thing.

Construction has begun on the Latest Imperial Fleet including the New Flagship Neo Zanarkand, and the Eternal Twilight, the first of the new Paragon-class Fleet Carriers. Swarms of our Starscythe-II and Harbinger class bombers will be constructed as well as new Diaspola Class Cruisers, Giguere-Class Dreadnaughts, and the standard assortment of Gunboats and Frigates.


OOC: Tag, and Neo Zanarkand?! The last flagship was a monster enough, I still have the telegram with its stats, it outgunned three of my dreadnought squadrons combined at the very least.

...OOC:

Dwah? whoa, man. I really wish I wasn't on vacation or the war on Mars would be continuing...Good luck DNS! The forces of good are far to disorganized, someone needs to form some sort of a coalition to bitch slap Arda.

OOC: Thank you for the chuckle. :)

Should have seen this earlier, Tag.

And, my nation's only part elvish. Samah himself was only a half-elf. I have a fair number of Dwarfs and other sentients, so...

OOC: well, because I really actually want to see MU (IC) get his bum handed to him, if ya's need help.... I'll be on the sidelines, watching, cause, uh, I'm not crazy ^_^

Lol, ok, no, not really, If push comes to bullet through the head, I'll see what I can do for you, lol. At least that way I could avoid the.. what was it called? "Squggly front's massive steamroller"? or something like that, :lol:

OOC:

This whole shitty DLN thing has screwed with my timeline, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to sit on the fence until I've gone a ways toward completing a pre-Melkor's Lame Death topic.

Otherwise Sauron would be kinda dead, right about now.

Arda has been disturbed A large voice boomed across the room.
Sir Addamous will not lead Addamous into this war. That shall be the job of Kel. Kel shall answer to no one, except directly under myself and Lord Melkor. One shall hope that there is not much of an attack from Addamous, for there will be nothing left of any nation that attacks Arda.
OOC: Can I get a recap? I don't have much time to read very many things anymore.

Kes sighed.

"DNS has made all our work for nought, it would seem."

Robert, the Duke of Estalia and Foreign Secretary, on the other hand, did not take it quite so well.

"That damned idiot! Did he really think knocking Melkor out would somehow free the world from his allies? We're stuck with a no-win situation...go to war long before we are ready, to support DNS and other such nations, or let such nations fall under Arda's might."

He threw his gloves to the floor, and began to pace up and down, muttering. Bishop John Brent sat back in his chair, eyes shut, whilst Prime Minister Jurgen van der Hestal looked blankly into the middle distance.

"Be calm, Robert. All is not lost," said Kes calmly.

"How can you say that, you bible-bashing fool?" Robert demanded.

"What he means, Robert, is that there is a way to retrieve the situation," replied Brent quietly.

"Well, I hope there is...for your sakes."
