[b]Troop movement in the colonies[/b]
After the recent war in Faresia, thousands of Soroyan troops amass at the Yamarano border, some report even note that they are building trenches. Prime Minister Kevin Notles sent a secret request to Basai asking to move several thousand troops into their border to prepare a defense against the Yamarano army. Stating “it is the duty of Sociatatem to defend the right of nations to exist in peace. We humbly request to defend that right in your own lands. Our colonial troops for now will have to do, but reinforcements are on the way. Hold off Yamarano as long as possible, we will not fail you.”

Shortly after sending this message Flulin troops began moving via transport to the Kendris region, and several thousand Bursk Model IV rifles, Cruska Guns, and Keizer Guns move from the mainland under the guise of food to support the Faresian colonies. Though, as Yamarano  will soon find out that this is only partly true.

[b]The Violet Rose[/b]

"But what is death? Some call it an end. Some a beginning. I, peace. Peace from the sorrow of living. Peace from the pain of rejection. Peace from the ache of the heart. Death is but one thing to me. My savior." The violet rose was a classic the second it was written by famous screen writer Egbert Jannes. It depicts the tale of a man named Lennerd Polisen, born ugly and rejected by everyone man, woman, and child he meets. Over time he becomes obsessed with wealth, initially believing it to be his savior, but as life moved on nothing had changed. Life was just as miserable and lonely as when it began. In the final scene, he destroys what wealth he had left and takes his own life shortly after.
