Special Report

Today, skirmishes between the domains of Argylwydd Cymry of the afonyd-Laeryn and rhi Blaen of the nerthol-Tywyll escalated into a pitched battle between two scout patrols. Young Gwaedd Tywyll was killed in the skirmish, and it is expected that Blaen will declare blood feud against Cymry. If Cymry calls for help, it might be that the bad blood between the Tywyll and the smaller but older Laeryn might come to a head- and a Princedom won or lost.

these things happen.

Bump.

Official Response
"How unfortunate."

-issued by the Ministry of External Affairs

We condemn the neglectful stance taken by the Shessaran government to keep the peace in an obviously violatile area, though this is a trait we have come to expect from monarchies, further proof of it's failure as a system. If the Shessaran government does not act soon and swiftly, civil war may indeed ravage the nation, please take responsibility, act accordingly and spare yourself this fate.

Both sides have issued a call for foreign aid, calling the other side 'Aggressors'. Meanwhile, they have succeeded in infuriating all five Princes.

Before the situation deteriorates any further, may we suggest placing peacekeepers in Shessara and conducting negotiations in an attempt to avoid further bloodshed?

I will gladly donate a squad of 7000 Peacekeepers to Shessara. He can locate them anywhere he likes but we will send our own commander. A 29 year old strategic genius and General Kazuki Phaegan. We will equip ourselves but we ask for Shessaran supplies. After the conflict we will repay you for the supplies if need be.

This is Gwendolyn Brydd of Eldidd News, with breaking news.
Rhi Blaen of the nerthol-Tywyll is claiming possession of a nuclear explosive- a device expressly forbidden in Shessara. If it is detonated, parts of five nations could be devastated.

State Response to International Offers:
Shessara will handle this herself.

Force Deployment-

15,000 men are being drawn from my estates in Canolbardd. Stay out of this, Cyrro.

not the princes!

This is madness, a powder keg waiting to explode in a mushroom cloud. If Braedd Laeryn does not wish to save his nation from the brink of collapse, then that is his decision. History will either approve or condemn his judgement. We shall continue to monitor events.

OOC: Which province is this?

The war with Cymry was a pretense for the bastard Laeryns to seize unjustfully my lands!

Crastiroedd has decayed and festered too long under the leadership of the Laeryn clan! The Butcher of Erse must be deposed! A man without honor or morals must not rule!

I call all nations to assist me in overthrowing this tyrant!

Rhi Blaen, Pennaeth of the Tywyll, Prince of Crastiroedd!


From: Ysgawen Gwythyr, Pennaeth of the Tywyll
To: All nations reached by Blaen's message

Blaen is not, and never will be, the Pennaeth of the Tywyll! He has no more claim to the throne than an ant! He has breached his honor, and will die for it!

Gwythyr.

Bump.

ooc: Glad he said no peacekeepers. I dont understand any of this. All these funny names I dont understand.

OOC: A breakdown of the names used in this topic...

Argylwydd Cymry of the afonyd-Laeryn: Argylwydd means Baron in Welsh. Cymry is his name, Laeryn his clan, and afonyd his gens, or family within the clan. Subclan. His name written conventionally is Cymry Laeryn, though many Shessarans write their names hyphenated- Cymry Afonyd-Laeryn.

Rhi Blaen of the nerthol-Tywyll: Rhi means Lord in Welsh. Blaen is his name, Tywyll his clan, and nerthol his gens. Blaen Nerthol-Tywyll is his conventional name.

Ysgawen Gwythyr, Pennaeth of the Tywyll: 'Ysgawen' means Elder in Welsh, a term of respect in Shessara. Gwythyr is his name, and he is a Pennaeth, which translates literally to 'Patriarch', the male head of a clan. Gwythyr Dwyrain-Tywyll is his conventional name.

FROM: The Commissariat of War, Hallad
TO: Rhi Blaen of the nerthol-Tywyll

MESSAGE READS:

Comrade,

We in Hallad understand you're plight for "power."
We are willing to help you attain this bourgeois idea,
but only because we consider Laeryn unfit to lead any society.

We have now a small way to help you.
We are able to get a small team of our Spec Ops into your nation.
They will be "members" of the Halladi Fuedalist Society.
They will go on a tour of Shessara starting the west, with no knowledge of the civil war. Your men will "capture" them.
They were "killed."

They are a 10 man team of the 1st Guerilla, in the Halladi SpecOps.
We have no knowledge of their existantance.
We had no idea they were in Shessara.
We never sent this message.

Not the princes!

To: Halladi Commissariat of War
From: Rhi Blaen of the nerthol-Tywyll

We accept your offer. The 'kidnapping' will take place in Tir Crastiroedd, in the High Plaza, by the bookseller's shop. Have your men outside and ready.

Rhi Blaen of the nerthol-Tywyll

Bump.
