[i]Liren, Empire of Chaegon[/i]

Pier Fini had been assigned to Liren since 1899. It was a decadent, backwater post. The Chaegonians were called [i]half-citizens[/i] by the Etelians for their laziness and lack of industriousness. Liren itself, while an immense, bustling city, was unappealing to the eye and often cast in the shade of the grey skies of the murky and cold Frienian Sea. Ambassador Fini went about his daily routine, skipping out of his early morning briefing to head to the Frienian bistro at the end of the street (he couldn't stand Chaegonian food), then read the paper.

Estaratia was threatening war (again). Saurilia was acting outlandish. These were issues, while interesting, had little to do with Fini in faraway Liren. It was when he returned to the Etelian Embassy that he dropped his briefcase and had to sit down. The telegraph, straight from the Chief of Staff of the Etelian Military, was concise.

"No name," Lini asked aloud.

"What is it, senor Lini?" His thick haired secretary Yolando Bergolo asked.

"What kind of island has no name," he said, to no one in particular. He re-read the letter, it'd be his job if he got it wrong. He yanked a handkerchief from his jacket pocket and wiped his brow. He sat down at his desk and from the bottom drawer pulled a bottle of liquor. It was Chaegonian, but that's all there was. He studied the bottle for a moment, then crossed the room to a cabinet where he found a glass and poured himself a drink. It burned the whole way down and left a sour taste in his mouth. Was that because it was Chaegonian, or months old?

Fini left the room and found the hall to find the Chaegonian diplomat in the embassy. The man, whose name he had forgotten within seconds of hearing it, was old and fattened up. Still, he was a humble and funny fellow with a toothy smile. "I regret to inform you, sir," Fini said, pulling the paper from his jacket and handing it over to the Chaegonian diplomat.

"What is this?" The Chaegonian diplomat asked.

"The [color=yellow][b]Kingdom of Etelia[/b][/color] is now at war with the [b][color=darkorange]Empire of Chaegon[/color][/b]."
