[b]Statement by Eman Hatul Abdul Ev'Shaaj I to the World,[/b]

	To think that the Vipionist Pope thinks the Eternal Hadeen of Dashkatar was ever going to attend their religious summit, which was called by a Vipionist for Vipionists, when we are loyal Hijeens, is madness. No Hijeen will ever attend a Vipionist religious festival after the numerous transgressions those people have committed upon the Hijeens. This mistaken belief that Dashkatar is about to cross the strait in an act of aggression is also ponderous, considering our forces are rallied in preparation for the likely outbreak of war to defend our allies the Echyans and temporary allies the Ofluans against the common enemy of Sescos.

	As for our loyal allies the Akkadians, Dashkatar has no interest in waging war upon them. The temporary joining of Dashkatar, Echya, and Oflua is temporary, but like all good Hijeens, I fully intend to uphold my words to those two states, even if the Ofluans are heathens. All men are capable of repenting and being accepted by the One True God, Adal.
