Reporter:

Are we on? Okay...

Greetings to all of our viewers live from the Imperial Center Square in the Eizen Capital of Antares. Imperial News Network apologizes for pre empting the program on the station or channel you are partaking in, but his Majesty has declared that this broadcast be sent out to all within range of the Empire.

As the voice of the Empire, Imperial News Network is proud to announce that His Majesty will be making a speech shortly with regards to the future of the Empire, possibly concerning the Annual Ascension Festival which marks the rise of the Eizen Empire from the depths of despair at the hands of its oppressors.

That story is well known to all in Eizen, our small nation was beleaguered internationally thanks to a weak and inept democratic government incapable and unwilling to solve the many problems that had crippled the economy and let us be prey to foreign ambition.

However, the Rise of the Imperial Royal House prevented all that. One nameless man, who declared himself Emperor Eizen I took control of the government and established the Royal House. He then raised a power military and, after a series of wars noted for their destructive amftermaths, Eizen had established itself in its region as a dominant power. The name Eizen would no longer be associated with weakness and forever aligned with that of strength.

Music begins playing loudly in the background, The tune is the Imperial National Anthem and the crowd begins cheering wildly as it is played, celebrating the impending arrival of the beloved sovereign.

Reporter:

It looks as if his Majesty is going to arrive soon, We'll now cut to our cameras live focusing on center stage and we will rejoin you on imperial News network shortly afterwards.

The Imperial Anthem abruptly shifts, what was once played by a full orchestra is now a mixture of more modern sounds including electric guitar and synthesized keyboard as well, the crowd embraces this alteration with a renewed cheer. In the background, ghostly vocal melodies from beautiful female singers enhance the aura of mystique around the song as they hum along.

the Heirs to the throne of Eizen, Crown Prince Azure and Princess Shira take their seats on stage, waving o the crowd. the children of Eizen have emerged as two of Eizne's most popular and prominent figures in recent months due to their innate beauty and suprising mental and physical prowess, shining examples of Imperial Children.

The two Empresses of Eizen, First Empress Milyssa and Second Empress Ashlay, emerge first taking the two podiums at either side of the center. They are flanked by members of their personal royal guards. Milyssa assumes the right podium of center, while Ashlay assumes the left. The Personal Guards step back but remain within protecting distance. Each of the Empresses are wearing dark but beautiful ornate flowing garments only worthy of an Empress. the Empresses Acknowledge the crowd and after a short period they turn and kneel towards the center podium.

The crowd roars as Emperor Eizen II emerges onto the scene, flanked by the most elite bodguards of his Eizen Kaiser Unit, he appears not to need the added security as he stands a full head above his guards. The Emperor emerges in black metallic armor which he wwears over the luxurious ceremonial robes of the Emperor. His hands, covered in leather gloves and his forearms shielded by metallic gauntlets. Most notably, he has donned the Imperial Shieldmask, so that his face may not be looked upon by the unworthy. As he approached the podium he reaches towards the hilt on his belt and draws a blade from its sheath. The blade, forged in the traditional methods by Eizen himself, still bears the stains of the blood of his father, whom Eizen II defeated in personal combat to assume the throne.

Eizen II raises the blade and addresses the crowd with a deafening yell furthered amplified by the sound system installed throughout the square.

LONG LIVE THE PEOPLES OF THE EIZEN EMPIRE! GLORY TO THE SOVEREIGN!

The crowd repeats this cry and begins a chant of "Eizen, Eizen, Eizen..." But as the Emperor onceals the blade within its sheath, he raises his open hand towards the sky, signaling the masses to be silent.

To my fellow people of Eizen, before I begin with my announcement I would like to express my eternal gratitude towards you, the blood and body of our great nation. Not even an Emperor such as myself accomplish alone what we have since our return from the brink of extinction.

My father, the previous Emperor knew what had to be done in order to ensure the survival of our nation, and he accomplished this with far greater success than he imagined. What my father had in Genius he lacked in true wisdom. Allow me to explain, My father knew that in order for our people to thrive we would not only have to gain strength, but to grow stronger than those around us. To smash our enemies and crush competition. However once this was acheived he had not the foresight in order to maintain our prosperity.

It was with a heavy heart that I engaged by father in combat. It was this very sword I wield today that struck him down. It was not in cold blood though, far from it. It was with a heavy heart that I assumed the burden of leadership. At the time we were in the midst of a great war that Eizen was clearly dominating. But, rather than pursue a lucrative peace with our opponent and other nations, he elected to destroy each and every one of those nations with a terrifying weapon known as "Brimstone." Brimstone ultimately would have killed hundreds of milions had I not stepped in. What my ascension led to was years of peace and prosperity for both the Imperial Royal house and for the people of Eizen.

But now the plotical climate further changes. Where we once stood alone we now have a plethora of allies that we fight alongside. Where we once had weak and pitiful enemies hardly worthy of our scorn now stand many enemies who would destroy us if that option were availiable to them. As we have grown in strength we have become the trgets of many nations, including the United Nations itself. And as the Emperor of Eizen I am proud to say that we have defeated every enemy, crushed all opposition to our will, and we have even thwrted the united Nations at the gates of our territory. Thanks to our prosperity we were even able to strike out on our own and found a new region of space far from our origin point. Allies joined us there and we have worked hard to build a strong region where citizens can live without fear of foreign ambition.

However a dark storm approached the horizons in our future. As we reach to even further levels of prominence and prosperity there are those nations who would seek to continue their futile crusades against us. As a loyal son of Eizen I do not believe that they can defeat such an illustrious and proud peoples, after all it is OUR people who have been forged in the fires of anger and it is OUR people who are tempered by the strength that would accompany our rage.

It is to these ends, in order to commemorate the annual Ascension festival, and to honour the committment made by our soldiers, living and fallen, and to those soldiers who will fight for us in the future that I make the following declaration.

the Eternal Empire of Eizen, breaking through its final limitations, will be led by a New Order. A New Order for what will be known as the "Second Age of Eizen", with our First Age hearlded in by our rise to power and ended here today.

My New Order will ensure the dominance of our Empire. As wee speak, our assembly lines continue to produce more weapons, our training academies produce new soldiers for all braanches of our military, in orbit above our beloeved homeworld new ships are under construction. Ships that will make even stars tremble with fear, and our enemies cower in our stead. The Empire will cease to allow threats to persist as well and the New Order will take a more active role in eradicating all threats to our Sovereignty. Our recent mass executions of insurgents by both the United Nations and rogue elfin movements are but the first step in our efforts to secure the country.

The New Order will also actively seek out like minded allies that share our goals. To preserve the Right to Rule of sovereign nations. To ensure the prosperity of not only The Empire of Eizen, but the species of Humanity as well. To protect those who would be threatened by the tyranny of invasive organizations such as the united nation and to liberate those who have fallen under its grasp without consent.

Now my citizens, let this mark the dawn of a new era. Let our future be guided by our past. LET THE WILL OF THE NEW ORDER GUIDE THE SECOND AGE OF THE EMPIRE.

The crowd roars in agreement, monitors raise from behind the Emperor televise similar events taking place in other major cities around the Empire, including Oblivion, Machina, and the capitals of Neon Simian and 1337 5p34k. the Empresses as well as the Crown Prince and Princess flock to their patriarch and embrace him, the crowds cheering reverberates trhough the square. Imperial guards escort the Royal Family through the square and back onto the palace grounds but not before his Majesty raises his sword once more...

OUR DESTINY IS CLEAR.

The transmission fades nd all networks resume regularly schedule programming, however most Imperial citizens choose to switch to Imperial News Network.

Reporter:

And there you have it folks, his Majesty has declared not only that this is the "Second Age" of our great Empire, but also the declaration of a "New Order" committed to preserving our great nation's prosperity and well being.

OOC: For the Imperial Anthem, consider it reminiscent of "Sonne" by Rammstein (not exactly the same song but you get my drift I hopes). This announcement is to reflect the current change in the nation's title and to help celebrate the upcoming 1 year anniversary of my nation.

out of character and in character commentary is welcome as long as the In character stuff is constructive.

As part of the new Order, and thanks in part due to funds contributed from the nation of Aeolisa. The Empire of Eizen will further its initiative to expand our armed forces. Inreased orders for Capital ships and Starfighters have been placed with the Imperial Shipbuilding companies and it is hoped that a second Paragon class fleet carrier will begin construction soon.

With hostilites currently at a low point all fleets on offensive operations have been recalled for gradual overhauls and refitting. This rotation will take time to complete, but it will be worth it as the effectiveness of all ships will be increased and the downtime during the overhauls will give Fleet crewmen a chance for leisure time which is well deserved after many months of tiring and arduous service.

EDIT: Upon seeing the response to the question(s), Sketch, the player, does an ooc foot-in-mouth maneuver - damn...stinky feet :oops:

"We congratulate and honor the sovereign Empire of Eizen on the beginning of a new era in history.

"Incidentally, we like this concept of a 'Second Age,' and will share in the christening of this new era in a similar manner, and herald the Second Age together. (Because we don't wish to be seen as infringing a copyright here, we have provided your Empire with a gift of ND$50,000,000 as a token of our good will. Let us know if this is acceptable or not. [I suppose we could just call it the 'New Age,' but just between you and me that doesn't have as nice a ring.])"

IC: Santa Barbara the gift is very welcome and we shall use those funds towards our Fleet Revitalization program. In your nation's honour, we shall dedicate one of the command ships. Hopefully your nation will be able to send representatives at the time it is completed. Our Zanarkand mkII class command ships have been the source of pride for our fleet since their inception and it is hoped that our gesture holds meaning for you.

We shall also fly your nation's colours next to those of the New Order at the Imperial Citadel for one week as per Imperial Custom when honouring an freindly nation. The beginning of the Second Age is at hand.

Aeolosia paid us $1.873 Trillion USD for the release of elvish captives slated for execution.

Also Sketch, Eizen II is the same guy i've been RPing with since our two nations opened relations, I was merely recanting a little history. 8) . At any reate, His Majesty is grateful.
