Tragedy and outrage!  The so-called “liberty” and “order” of the Societatem is once again revealed to be no more than empty rhetoric!  The mass invasion of Vakellia by West Varia has begun with the utmost brutality and cruel-heartedness, most of all in the lands of the Kamen Empire.

But there is hope!  The Battle of the Akiru Jungles has shown us that even without weaponry to match the invaders, the proud and valiant people of Kamen will not fall submit themselves easily to Varian rule.  Let this be a rallying cry to all Vakellian nations, that resistance is [i]not[/i] futile!

His Imperial Majesty and Sword of Aed, Shayaer Khaitis, gave the following statement of support to the Empires under assault by West Varian greed.

“The Grand Survaek Empire knows well the ways of the West Varians, who stole our Western lands much as they are beginning to steal the rightful territories of Tavironga and Kamen.  The rightful rulers of Vakellia must not fool themselves into believing the invaders will settle for one or two concessions, or that they will be peaceable neighbors.  Their ambitions will end only at the utter and total conquest of the continent!  Gayépela and Odikiali must know that they will be next, if the Empires of Vakellia do not unite to oppose the barbarians!

“Fear not the weapons and numbers of the Varians, for you, rulers of Vakellia, have righteousness on your side!  And from Survaek, you will have more than words of support: Already we have sent delegates to each of your nations, to be permanent ambassadors if you will accept them.  Like in the days of Yvor and Vokoryn, Survaek wishes to keep ties of friendship and mutual prosperity with the many nations of Vakellia.

“And to any Varian power who seeks to oppose us, remember well that we are fully within our rights to establish and maintain diplomatic and commercial ties to the nations of Vakellia.  Any attack or blockade on our merchant shipping or diplomatic transportation will be interpreted as a violation of international law and an act of war!”

Brave and inspiring words from the Grand Survaek Emperor, Aed bless his name!
