The Duke stood near the window looking out over his glorious city. By day the white buildings would have glowed radiantly and by night the lights would have lit up the night letting no star shine. But now...

Black smoke pours from buildings engulfed in flames. So many fires... The smoke and ash are so thick that the sun cannot penetrate the fog hanging over the city. In the distance the sound of voices chanting fills the air louder than even the sounds of sirens and the echoing boom of an explosion.

"Grand Duke, I would advise not standing so close to the window. The Senators have been evacuated from the city and I beg of you to please leave. The rioters have already burned the Senatorial building and are approaching the barracades."

Sighing the Duke leaves towards the exits as the sound of gunfire increases outside the palace.

*news music and the World News Network spins onto screen*

Today in Olirah massive riots clogged the capital city. Our own news teams sent to cover the story were met by government officials and denied all access to the city. Dispite this we have discovered startling news regarding the state of Olirah.

These protestors, following a man claiming to be the second coming of Christ have effectively taken the capital city along with several outlying towns. Managing to avoid our military entourage we have this footage.

*planes bearing the sigil of Olirah sweeping over the enemy held towns and dumping millions of gallons of diesel fuel upon the land before setting it ablaze*

This is truely an extraordinary circumstance. The peoples own government is attacking it's own citizens... *banging on the door* The military has found out we are broadcasting we are *all communication stops as the sound of gunfire explodes inside the room the camera lays on its side next to a bleeding journalist with a gaping hole in his head. then nothing but static.*

Athyik Linath offers to help the government of Olirah out down this revolt. We can send 200 dragon mounted calvalry equiped with muskets, and provide finacial relief after. please reply ASAP.

We would be gratful for the help. Currently our position on the uprising is one of no tolerance. If you are a part of or participated in the uprising the penalty is death to both yourself, family, and the confiscation of property. We have no other alternative.

There is also reason to believe that this 'messiah' is not a citizen of Olirah but a fanatic of a fundamentalist government seeking to create a coalition of theocratic nations.
