To the nations of the world, you have recently had you caravans vanish without a trace, undoubtedly harming your economy. Our teleportation network would not be subject to these problems, as travel distances would be reduced immensely, merely the distance to the nearest circle. We implore you to save your economy from these troubles by joining the Venetian Transport Network.

beginning of turn 17

venetians teleportation-network: the teleportation circles of the venetian isles are nearly up and running by this point which will hopefully boost the economic trade of the continent without fear of bandits or pirates.

rallies in the reforged kingdom: in the wake of a massive campaign against the pirates and bandits of the continent, massive rallies are being held all across the kingdom greatly increasing national prode and morale. the success of these rallies were only heightened by the fact that queen lymsleia herself attended many of the rallies as well as the news that their raids on pirate dens were a great success.

arms race: it seems almost as if a new arms-race is heating up as various nations of the continent unveil devestating new weapons of war ranging from new blackpowder designs in the nagarean theocracy to high-speed airships in the reforged kingdom.

Nijon/Rozarian war: in the early morning hours a blast from a primitive home-made explosive device ripped through the throne room of the rozarian imperial palace killing the emperor and several top-advisors including his top general staff. the emperors chief of internal affairs, with the support of the jacks collecive is now stepping up to take control of the now leaderless nation.

meawhile, after the destructive blast the army of the jacks collective, clearly under the impression nijon was behind the blast surged forward across the great eastern desert and overwhelmed the nijon empires remaining security detachments. the jacks collective, backed by the trade federation is now within striking distance of the nijonian capital, while top imperal leaders seem to be seeking a peaceful end to the conflict.

a representitive from the Nijon empire arrives to discuss a peaceful end to the war, the representitive is none other than the emperors daughter sarah who discussed the terms to end the last war.

"...Wasn't this why we were going to make some security council? So this WOULDN'T HAPPEN?" the Messenger seems to be, with heavy control, suppressing his anger, "Do you really think the Nijons would be dumb enough to keep up this war on Nijon when they must have known that the retaliation would be swift and brutal? I doubt that whatever is going on in Rozaria has anything at all to do with them -- someone just wants the Rozarian government destroyed so they can step in. Whoever it is, they'd need a lot of espionage. A TON of espionage. Which I doubt the Nijons have, considering their recent losses.

OOC: My personal preference would be these two conversations are merged as they are about the same topic and the Nijon and Reforged are on the same side in it. If either disagrees, you're each receiving the same message anyways. And just to clarify, We and Our refers to the Collective, not the Federation.

"The Nijon Emperor ordered the assassination and his agents carried it out. The truth of that will not change no matter the politics involved, and if either of you choose to doubt our findings, you are welcome to confirm it yourself. The Collective was not willing to stand by silently as the sovereign of an ally was murdered in his own capital, and because the Security Council made no attempt to resolve the situation before it came to that, we took matters into our own hands. We took the necessary actions to protect Rozaria."

The agents were odered by the King of Nijon? And what evidence do you have of that? I would like to see such a thing, if available. And of course the Security council took no action -- The King was killed, and immediately after you declared war. What possibility was there for intervention?
And would it not have been better, to "Protect Rozaria" as you put it, to use your extremely formidable Espionage services to counter whatever these agents were planning, as opposed to waiting until the Emperor was dead to "protect" them?

Peace Conference

Spoiler

Show

Our agents were there. They were both looking into the source of the attacks, so as to prevent the Collective from attacking an innocent target, as well as attempting to stop the perpetrators. They failed to prevent the killing, as is obvious, but what we did find was evidence of the Nijonese involvement. And the Council chose to ignore the assassins cutting there way through Rozaria well before the Emperor died. Any faction, the Reforged included, had the opportunity to intervene before they made their way to the palace. Since no one decided to act, the Collective did what we viewed as necessary to protect our allies.

OOC: I guess I just ask oblivion to provide the evidence of the Nijon's actions?

Edit: To be fair, I don't actually know that the Emperor himself ordered the attack. From what I found out though, someone in Nijon almost definitely ordered it. Collective is just assuming the Emperor based on other data they have. So technically my previous message was incorrect. Emperor didn't necessarily do it. Just probably.

Thank you. Out of curiosity, how difficult is constructing the circles themselves? So we have a better estimate of what our mages can do this season. And have you talked to the Zexans of joining it? Their contacts could greatly help improve trade.

Although reasonably difficult setting up the circles shouldn't be a problem for a reasonably powerful mage. We recommend that if your people set it up they do so according to specifications we provide in order to maximize efficiency. Otherways the circles will use more energy. Of course if you are willing to tolerate the inefficiency you will merely need to talk to our mages in order to connect your circles to ours. Please inform our mages on whether you will be following our template or not, as it effect how we will structure our side of the circles.

As to the consortium we haven't talked to them yet, however it is a good idea. I will be talking to them shortly.

And instead of presenting this evidence and then having it judged by others and THEN attacking, you just skipped to the last step. We would like you to stop your aggressive actions in Nijon until your evidence has been verified by at least two other sources, preferably ourselves and another. I see no downside to this -- It is not like the Nijons have enough technological or economical strength to ever out-grow your army, and it will allow time to confirm the evidence.

OOC: the jacks agents basically followed a paper trail of sorts back to the Nijon empire but the investigation also revealed the emperor is mad and is clearly not in the best shape to be ruling an empire which means several groups want to replace him.

Sarah is of course still denying that her father, the emperor has anything to do with this because he may be slipping a bit but he hasnt taken complete leave of his senses.[from her POV while from an evidence standpoint it appears that the emperor is more than "slipping"

Mid-Turn Update:

Peace in Nijon...for a time atleast: the jacks collective seems to be in the proccess of withdrawing their army from Nijon, in the wake of the recent peace talks. the only problems seems to be a recent increase in bandits in the region. these bandits are clearly not your average run of the mill outlaws and appear to have quite a bit of military experience on their side. conspiracy theorists are suggesting that these gangs are sponsered and trained by the jacks collective.

bandit hunt: on the other end of the continent the reforged kingdom has launched a massive hunt for bandit gangs in the lands formerly belonging to the queendom of faluna, capturing hundreds.

meanwhile to the north the zexan consortium has hired out a large army of hellraisers to begin an expedition to hunt down these mysterious caravan raiders. the army has set up a camp around a tunnel system that intelligence operatives have reported they tracked these raiders too. they plan to move at [EOT]

fortified tunnels: the deep trolls are known to currently be installing advanced defensive measures within their tunnels.

[hellraiser mobilization:[/b] on top of the hiring of the hellraisers by the consortium, the nagarean theocracy is said to be hiring out the hellraisers for a puntive expedition to the San-kesh protectorate across the sea. their stated reason for this is the rumours of blood-magic and unholy rites. hellraiser forces are currently in the proccess of commandeering ships from the isle of Dhevan for the expedition.
