Duke Ryaner Mac Artur 'Freiheit got what was coming to it, if that's how it's going to act.'​

Tarah, Merght - Following several emergency meetings of the Ard Riocht Council on Foreign Politics the Comhairleoir-dar-Rí* of Foreign Affairs, Duke Ryaner Mac Artur was caught up with by reporter Saul Alexander. When asked about the recent nuclear explosion within the northeastern Implarian, and by all reports within Freiheit's capital city Freistadt, and his opinions, he responded simply.

"The Ard Riocht's policy is to send humanitarian aid to the people of Freiheit, but only if they take steps to cool their tension. If an effort for international peacekeeping to resolve the situation and allow for a separate Otchi state, seperate entirely from Freiheiter state; then the High Kingdom will offer up troops to support such an effort."

In response to if the High Kingdom would be willing to participate in talks with Freiheit's government for a reasonable solution other than that or clause to gain help other than that, the Duke was reported as saying the following.

"No. We don't deal with children or with idiots, and any national government with the stupidity ingrained within itself to have nuclear weapons within it's capital is not one we're willing to talk on equal terms with. We don't want to hurt the Freiheiter populace, but we will not put our troops to unnecessary risk either."

Dun dun dun.

This is the Warreic Royal News, on broad-casted on the local affiliates of the WRN in the territories and outside of Warre, and on WRN1, (Channel 2), within the Provinces. In this hour, we've got quite a good bit of information, and we'll begin rolling with it now.

A well dressed, dark brown haired man who seems to be in his middle ages smiles to the cameras, giving a nod.

"In politick; The world is currently aflame, as many citizens already know. After the missile strikes and battle for survival within Freyheight (Freiheit), the nuclear explosion within the capital of the 'Freedom-State; and the full-on civil war reported within Ackhaltsich (Akhaltsikhe) the Ard Ri and his government have instituted a state of 'armed preparedness' lest we need to bring our nation's military to bear in either conflict. The Ard Ri, furthermore, has issued an embargo on Freyheight, and the government has seized any and all Freiheiter corporation assets within the High Kingdom.'"

He gives a nod, and a slight clap of the hand, before adding with a smile. "Aye, and I support the High King's decision, the Freyheighters have been a troubling problem for far too long, and possession of nuclear weapons by such a racist and militantly fascist regime is a recipe for great war two, and our world's destruction."

Throughout the time he is talking, a few images appear on the screen behind him illustrating what he means, at the proper points. When he has finished saying that highly opinionated statement, the screen shifts to a cutboard of any military movie ever like scene, with the words 'new officers graduated' bordering it, and the man nodding.

"In other news, Keryabaijyani 'Yak Plushie Toys' popularized from the upcoming Oikawan animated program, ヨーロッパ(Europa) have been put on recall by the national chancellery for health, working in conjunction with the chancellery of ecology, because of the threat of 'Keryabaijyani Mugmites', a quickly reproducing insectoid which functions roughly like fleas, but seems to be kept away by yak pheromones. If you're not worried about your health or the health of your animals, at least spray the yak toys with a mixture of bleach, pine oil, and vinegar and lemon juice; as per chancellery of health orders."

News from Warre - Freiheiter Diplomats jailed as 'Illegal immigrants'.

'Former Freiheiter Diplomatic Contingent Jailed for unsanctioned immigration into Warre.'​

Cathair na Lumina, Warre - There was quite a bit of trouble, and from the sounds of it some gunshots, today in the Darendal district of Lumina City, today. Following the actions of the Freiheiter government, not limited to or excluding the possession of nuclear weapons, the persecution and execution of the Otchi peoples, and general war crimes, the Ard Ri's government dissolved any recognition of the Freiheit 'Free State', and it's government. Following an eviction notice at the Embassy and the lack of reaction and exit of the country by the 'Freiheit diplomat contingent', Warreic Military Police were brought to the Darendal district, and ordered to forcibly evict the Gearmáinis from their illegal occupation of those grounds. As their Freiheiter-Gearmáinis peoples were given neither visas or any other form of diplomatic immunity, they are being jailed for no less than two weeks, before being deported to their home country of the Gearmáinis nation of 'Wiese'.

Reciprocation for the act is unlikely, as when the Freiheit escalation came, the sole Warreic Foreign Minister on duty was recalled to the High Kingdom.

Department of Foreign Affairs

Whilst the Free State of Wendmark is the first to condemn the so-called "Freedom State" that is at the epicentre of a muscled international reactions to the state's warcrimes and genocidal politics, Einsiedeln cannot be but puzzled by the decisions taken by the authorities of "Warre" as regards the fate of the Freedom State's diplomats. It has historically been a given fact that embassies were respected even in times of war and diplomats were given all the necessary means to return to their home country, not jailed and imprisoned.

We are even further surprised by the decision to "expulse" the Freedom State's diplomatic corps to the Wieser Empire. Specifically given the following facts:

1. that the Freedom State has no relation to the Wieser Empire safe for speaking a language that is spoken by other nations in the world, such as Wendmark, Franken, Eiffelland, Tyskreich, the West Germanic Federation;
2. that currently Einsiedeln has no indication that Augsburg accepted or made any statement concerning the decision of the authorities of "Warre".​

The Free State of Wendmark thus requests further explanations and clarifications from the authorities of Warre pertaining to the above stated actions and facts.

We view this as an act of war. You have just brought yourself into the conflict, congrats.

 

[Breotonia]

Foreign Office

While His Majesty's Government may sympathize with the concerns of nations like Warr we must admit that this very serious breach of international diplomatic protocol is very worrying and we find it wholly unjustifiable. We implore the authorities in Warr to reverse this decision immediately, if the Freiheitian diplomats absolutely must expelled we encourage Warr to do so in a civilized manner in accordance with common international law and practice.

 

[Warre]

From the desk of the High King of Warre, Lubra MacAodh; to the Foreign Affairs Department of the Freestate of Wendmark in response to it's inquiry.
I, and my government, advise your nation to mind it's manners. Wendmark has no business in our affairs, any more than any other of the Dominican Occidental nations have business within them, and that translates to 'no business at all'. As a department such as your's, devoted to foreign affairs should know; not every action is blunt and ultimatum filled. The action of jailing the Freiheiter representatives is wholly within our rights, and historically or not, it is a nation's decision as to what nations it recognizes. This is not because of the war which Freiheit has, but the numerous, and they are indeed numerous, offenses which the Freiheiters have committed. Their state, which while highly fascist and nothing more than an extension of Occidental power into the Boreas sub-continent. We will not recognize such a tool, which has systematically bred out the natives of that region and killed them off, instead of allowing them to assimilate into it's culture.

In regards to your concerns towards the condition of our return of them to Wiese, it has little to do with their status as Gearmáinis, and more to do with the placement of Wiesereich as the nation which has the center of the Council of Nations within the Capital. Augsburg is where they will be deported to, so they may discuss things with the CoN or the staff of their embassy in Wiesereich or any country which will take them and pay for their transport.

This said, please refrain from using "Warre" to refer to the High Kingdom of Warre, as that is not it's hypothetical name, that is its name. Any instance where you use such a term in a communique to our nation or it's foreign affairs chancellery will result in a dissolution of any diplomatic ties between Warre and Wendmark, an official canceling of any and all visas offered to citizens of Wendmark who are within The Ard Riocht [High Kingdom] of Warre, and a closure of your embassy until such a time that a sincere apology is given to the Warreic People and their High King from your president, an apology which may and must be televised to be able to tell the sincerity of the message.

This is not something we'd be surprised from your 'nation' of freebooters and brigands would do. In response to the declaration of war, all we've got to say is 'Pogue Mahone, boyo.' which we do hope even Gearmáinis pirates would understand. If we did not make that clear, we've been at a state of war for quite a while, we just didn't see the point in declaring war on a group of brigainds that call themselves a state.

From the desk of the High King of Warre, Lubra MacAodh; to the Foreign Office of the Kingdom of Breotonia in response to it's inquiry.

We appreciate your sentiments and the respect you have given in return for respect you expect to be given. The Freestate of Freiheit, or whatever political bodies claims control over the territory which was formerly Freiheit, is wholly unrecognized by our nation. Their acts of war crimes against their own people, racism, and threat to their own nation, our nation, and indeed the entire Boreas Sub-Continent have abolished any belief by myself any my nation that they may attempt to live like civilized peoples. As such, there is only one choice in the matter of the Diplomats representing that rogue warband; expelling them from our nation. The choice of transporting them to Wiesereich comes from both the common language between the two, and the fact that Wiesereich's capital, Augsburg is the home of the 'Council of Nations', and thereby the most logical place for our nation to send them, short of throwing them into the sea like the pirates the rest of their nation's government are acting like.

It is unacceptable to send them back to Freiheit, both from Freiheit's recent Declaration of War upon my nation and from concerns even before then upon the instability of that nation and inability to properly transport them with ease and without neglecting the safety of our own citizens, kinsmen, and countrymen.

Slainte, and please advise the King's government that we will be sending him a one hundred and fifty year old vintage of Warreic Mac Lir Whiskey, in appreciation for the respect his representatives have given us that so few Occidental nations lack.

Department of Foreign Affairs

The Department of Foreign Affairs apologises should its communiqué have seemed unacceptable in tone and content to the High Kingdom of Warre for reasons explained by His Majesty in his formal reply to our own inquest. The Free State is grateful for the speedy reply and the clarifications put forward.

The clarification pertaining to Wiese was requested following the, as quoted, line " deported to their home country of the Gearmáinis nation of 'Wiese' " that was met in the press. It is satisfying to learn that this was simply a mistake on the part of a media outlet and not an official government position.

The Free State is satisfied with the clarifications given. And even if Wendmark deplores the overtly agressive tone of the missive and considers it entirely unjustified, the Free State shall consider the case closed and the matter resolved.

* - * - *

OOC clarification:
Not sure what you call "Dominican". You mean Catholic? Wendmark is in majority Reformed and follows the teachings of Zwingli. There are, of course, Catholic and even Lutheran minorities. The Free State wouldn't take offense to that, but it is rather inappropriate.

 

[Warre]

OOC Clarification/Response: Yes, by "Dominican" I mean Catholic. That's what from what I understand the 'Catholic' nations call themselves, and it is less about being a catholic nation and more about being a former catholic nation/within their sphere. Thus 'Dominican Occidental', as Warre is [technically] farther west than any of the 'original' occidental nations, 'Occidental' would not suffice in it's eyes; and the only term which seems to go roughly analogous amongst all of the occidental nations, the Germanic [Gearmáinis] nations, the Frankic nations, English nations, Scandinavian nations, and Warre's cousins the HEireann, were all once in their history a Catholic/Dominican majority nation; thus the disnomer. Oltremare on the other hand would be referred if referring regionally, as a 'Oriental' nation, or 'Otremaran-Orthodox nation'; as the Warreic do not believe the times when crusader states were set up along Oltremare as being legitimate to it's history.

More news; soon. Regular RP posts have to be written first, and I've got a few things to do before then.

"Ard Ri Lubra Mac Aodha: The Freiheit war is not over. It won't be over at any point when a Freiheiter state can come back to rear it's ugly head with communism, fascism, or whatever the style of sunglasses politics are popular."​

Tarah, Warre - The forty nine year old High King of Warre, in a press conference brought about from worries with the recently erupted Freiheit War; has acknowledged that the government has had quite a bit of time to prepare, having activated the reserves and began preparing defenses. It came to no surprise for the people of Warre when the High King and his government chose to do this, the Otchi genocides, rumors of Nuclear weapons and numerous other things all prompting this action. However, despite the fact that the 'Freestate' of 'Freiheit' has surrendered 'unilaterally', the government of Warre has confirmed with sources that the “war is not over, there is a battle going on in the Grau Mountains and any Freiheiter in the northern territories could flee into our country at the moment. Without Warre firmly taking action, Freiheit or whatever Germeanis state that takes its place will just do it again. They did it during their communist days, their days as Tsykreich imperial fascists, and even since they've settled. Freiheit is an illegitimate state formed by land grabbers and murders.”

Further than that, the High King would not say; he spoke of firm belief in a Otchi Free state, and spoke of his insistence that any Freiheiter successor state should have to pay reparations to the Otchi for their near extinction. The exact goals of the still ongoing Freiheit War, at the moment, have not and would not be specified. The High King simply said that any Freiheiter who had the sense to lay down their arms and surrender would be spared. Those who would not would feel the pain of all nine hells within one life time, and have their lives ended.

On 'Freiheit', the Lost Duchies, and the Gearmainise Biataigh​

As any well-informed citizen of Warre knows; our glorious High Kingdom has been on alert for months with the Otchi versus Freiheiter violence and Freiheiter versus Otchi violence within the formerly de facto state of 'Der Freistadt Freiheit'. Rumors of Nuclear weapons ownership, as well as the long standing enmity between the Gearmáinise Biataigh [Germanic Colonists, the typical term to refer to 'Freiheiters' for International readers] within that rogue state and within Warre. The battles fought from the time they were founded until now against our Otchi friends, and against us, have not been forgotten.

According to sources from the Ard Ri's government, specifically Prionsa-Choróin Cèith MacAodha, [Fully, Cèith MacLubra na MacAodha, for our international readers] the Kingdom will be soon welcoming it's sixth province. Remembering full and well the Warreic natives to Freiheit which have been divided and kept from their homeland and their birghtrights; and likewise remembering well and full the loss of the Duchies of Cailin, Kayce, and Domhthit, the Ard Riocht has declared simply and formally.

Any and all territories lost by the High Kingdom at the hands of the Germainise Biataigh will be reclaimed. The Duchies of Cailin, Kayce, and Gheimhridhthit will be reformed, and any and all Warreic nobility whom lost lands in the loss of the sixth province will have them returned. The High Kingdom's government also has declared that any Gearmainise within the three western duchies will be allowed to continue to live there, and afforded the same rights as any other Warreic civilians, after a measure of time as decided by the Council of Houses, Ratified by the Council of Advisors to the Kings, and then Ratified by the Council of Kings.

Further still; the government firmly and fervently spoke that the current policy on any 'rebels' or 'guerrillas' within Freiheit is to consider them active participants in treason and afford to them the same punishments described as such within the Penal Act of Nine Teen Hundred and Seventy Two. The High King's representative at the planned meeting discussing the occupation of Freiheit is believed to be bringing documents from before the steady losses of those duchies, to use the historical boundaries of the previous duchies and of the High Kingdom with the early German Colonial States which later formed Freiheit.

[Proposed Names for the possible Provinces the Duchies could make on 4A]

The Fianna Collaigh Marbh, Dobharchú, and Beidh na Cnoic Bholláin approved to offer their services to the Kingdom of Ratomkira​

Following the announcement of the creation of the 'People's Republic of North Ratomkira' by the Daoine Gramisce group, 'Kangtoap Krawham Padevat'; the High Kingdom's government firmly denounced it and let forth the statement that no Daoine Gramisce [International Readers: 'Communist' literal translation being 'People's mob'] government would be recognized, and secession from a Kingdom without former claims is and was entirely illegal.

Firmly after this refusal of recognition of 'North Ratomkira' and a call of denouncement to any nation who would consider it, especially the KKP's Daoine Gramisce allies within Vangala, would have any diplomatic deals currently in progress frozen. To emphasize this, the famous Fianna [International Readers: The Warreic Legal term for 'Mercenary Companies'] Collaigh Marbh, Dobharchú, and Beidh na Cnoic Bholláin have had their applications with the Ministry of Fianna [Collectively ran by the Chancellery of Defense, Chancellery of Commerce, and Chancellery of the Treasury] accepted. They have been cleared to accept any job offers which the Kingdom of Ratomkira gives them or sees fit to attempt to give them.

In addition of the three 50,000 strong mercenary companies which may now be hired by Ratomkira, the Warreic government has promised humanitarian aid.

The Crusaders are set to play the winners of the Gabharnaomh Goats vs the Kilarny Mariners match set for tonight at 5 PM in Kilarny Regional Cluiche Dar Soirc Stadium.

The Blazing Camel is not dead yet though, the government giving Mister MacArtur approximately two months to resolve the problems notated in the citations.

As a fan of the restaurant, I hope they do so soon. I'll have no where to get Hummus, Pitas, or slow skewered goat if they don't!

Re: Blatant Accusations by Vangala; to the Vangalan Ministry of External Affairs

The High Kingdom of Warre respectfully inquires to what the Eilifint-Tréadaigh [Elephant Herding People] think you're doing with sending a reprimand to us from a politically neutral manevuer that is perfectly legal in our nation's system. Despite the Daoine Gramisce politics which your nation fields, we have not a once considered an embargo on you or any other situation.

Yet you seem to think because your nation claims to speak for -it's- people, it speaks for -all- peoples. We have seen some of the reports on your words within the CoN's meetings; and we kindly ask you keep your concerns there, not bothering nations which want nothing to do with that messy league of occidental puppeteers. If Ratomkira's legal and sovereign government wishes to hire any fianna which is approved to offer their services there; that is it's choice.

And we do not believe it is propoganda. Communist nations form their own types of colonialism, and we're well aware that the KKP is a Vangalan Puppet.

An Editorial: On Politics and the Warreic Hound; Our Position in the world.​

Go maith le chéile! I won't go into pretensions that some of our race may bother with, who my father or grandfather or son or ancestor who died in valiant battle was does not matter; none of these things matter in the case I speak of.

I'm a member of the younger generation within the [High Kingdom of the] Warre; and like all of my fellows and peers, I regularly look at the vast nation which we are apart of, and then compare it to the world map. I wonder about why the vast number of countries which line themselves upon the map don't necessarily find themselves affecting the Warreic experience, and why I don't know about the Wieser exchange student whom I went to college with, or the Frescanian lass whom I worked along side with in my first job. Warre is a place that is overwhelmingly ethnically homogenous; and we are taught from the earliest portions of our lives why this is. The vast number of the nations upon the world, in their numbers close enough to have one year of four scores for each of them; they're dominated by a few ethnic groups in both culture and attitude. The races of the world are many, but even with the fact they prove that we are few. The Eireannaigh are our cousins; but no more. We have wished in romanticism for some sort of true brotherhood to come from our peoples, or for the Eireannaigh nation and the Warreic nation to become one. For our two High Kingdoms to become one sovereign nation for the Gaels; she would rather have foreign invaders occupy her and hold her as their ward [and more] than to consider her woad painted cousin or asking his arms to move in her defense.

The Germania-Gallians, who call themselves are different race but barely resemble one; they are many. The view within the most of our people then; is that they are thereby a threat. But it simply shows their disloyalty and greed; they cannot even stand with their own cousins. The common man of our nation rarely notes this; but the government does. The ideal of 'racial defense' is an outdated one and it's sword 'racial solidarity'; are relics of our old-time imperialism, of our 19th centuries fear from the fighting of our northern stag cousins; from the losses in the western kingdoms, from the shedding of Trollchurch and Nordea. They don't work any more than running upon a bear with a Zivotinje Army knife; and it's time to make more spears, sharpen bamboo and oak, flintknap stone and build new spears. Our ancestors didn't live in blindness; and neither should we.

The Germans are not the Holy Germeanic Empire any longer; and neither do we stand alone against hostiles. The Warreic hound has finally found worthy fellows to stand with, no matter if it be that we find ourselves fighting along side the Singlish Dragon or their Oikawan Dragon counterparts, the Tiburan or Sarmatian Imperial Eagles; or the Zivotun Racoon or the Andaluzian Griffin. And the characteristic weakness of those barbarian tribes which broke from Ancient Tibur's might is keenly visible. Even the mighty Tysk Moose has fallen to this curse; her former dominion of Freiheit falling from her clutches and thinking itself a mighty lion like it's Germeanis cousins. The world is not as it was in the beginnings of this era, when we stood as a haphazard ally to those who would stand against that pride of lionesses all the while we stared down the old challenge that is the Anglysh Wyvern and her clutch.

We stand closer in emotions to our honorable if long-suffering Tysk rival, her and her clutch caring more for our existence than it seems the Eireannaigh ever will be. They and the Sarmatians, the Zivotun, the Tiburan, the Singlish, the Oikawan, the Andaluzian, they all stand closer with us then the Eireannaigh -ever- have. They stand with us as brothers, and our blood sister simply gives us a glaring dismissal; for our wild roving and unwillingness to be tamed offend her civilized ladyship.

And so it should be; rather than dealing with the would be regals on equal terms, we should ignore them, and embrace our siblings regardless of our differences. Modern scholars often think our government's decisions in the past century have been purely out of the sour lemons of imperialism and the failures of it's tree for our peoples; but I think they should review them more clearly.

The extensions of aid -in weapons and manpower, in food and trade- to the Greater Sarmatian Ceasarstwo and the Oikawan Empire; they were not blind actions. As we fought the Gearmainise Biataigh of Freiheit and their Tysk mother for the last time; we did these things. And we didn't extend this aid out of fear of communism or nations taking care of their peoples; we did it because the threat that they posed to our allies, and you saw the Sarmatians return the favor when the Gearmainise Biataighh of Freiheit attempted to destroy we of the hound banner. We should stop fearing things on ideological grounds or otherwise. The High Kingdom and her meritocracy works for our nation, and works well for our nation at that, democracy in it's blatant blindness is not a threat to the status quo or to our people at all. For others, it is right; but for us, it is not. We are not the fragmenting Gearmainise; or their Gallic Rooster cousins; nor should we fear them. Their peoples are many and easily malleable. To the point that prelimary reports released by the Ard Riocht Military say that no less than fourty percent of the 'Freiheiter' peoples within the newly acquired Western Kingdoms have revealed their ethnicity to be 'Gaelige' or 'Warreaigh'. Compared to the less than 3.5% reported by many Freiheiter government reports or less than 10% reported by the Tysker government reports in the centuries before; one can only imagine how many of the proud Domican Bearskin wearers suddenly think of themselves as hounds; despite the fact they were raised to believe that our nation and her people were nothing more than flea-bitten mutts; a threat only slightly above that of the Templar Lions to the south. Their Gallic cousins cannot be far from that; and the Norse nations may as well be our own second cousins.

We have quite a few friends, and while may as well have been disowned by our family, they are still our family. Our enemies are many but as rats thinking themselves bears; more likely to kill us by plague from fleas than by a battle of brawn. They our below our station; and should be at best tolerated, but by no means hated. They are below our hate as I see it.

For their brood has brought us the likes of the Breotish and the Cornavians, as well. People whom are on a person level very amicable [though I'd not attempt to haggle a vase or a pound of grain from a Breotishman, I'd probably end up out a few head of cattle in the end.]

Expand your vision; talk to the refugees and ex-patriates whom reside in our nation. Make them feel like friends; and be friends with them; for if we can go from having nothing more than the urge to see the world beyond our glorious lands burnt in an ochre flame to seeing friends and allies about, people to make alliances and trades with; then so too can we make our numbers greater by welcoming them. You've never had a Cluiche Dar Soirc World Championship party until you've had one with a Hajri in full woad, a Zivotun following suit, and an Singlishman in a staunch Ochre; all shouting for the Warreaigh team.

A history of tolerance and intolerance; also whiskey.

An Amhráin ar ár Beatha; The Songs of Our Life [The Words of the Warreaigh's Christianity]​

The subject of my nation's predominant religion is one that's always messy, inevitably it reminds people of songs they might've forgot in better times, or barbarians and witches despoiling Gods green earth. They assume that because my nation is a nation where polytheism is common-place, that we are that much different from the Christians out there. But it's exactly that, an assumption, and as a popular English saying goes “to assume only makes an ass out of you and me”; and this is the case. Warre is and has always been polytheistic, yes. But we are not blood gurgling heathens who've never heard the word of 'The Lord, our God'.

Our ancestors and our religion is just an experiment in freedom of choice, on that matter. On the fact that perhaps [despite what many Dominican Catholics may want you to think] there are more than one path to the glory of the Creator, 'The Father'. When the missionaries who would attempt to bring about ChristianityDominican Catholicism to the Warreic tribes who would later become the Kingdoms of Warre, they did not speak enough Gaelige, or did but didn't really go out of their way to explain Christianity to the Warreic. What they no doubt intended to use as a tool to use the 'Pagan' religion of the Warreic & Eireannaigh peoples to teach the Warreic Christianity, they instead taught them that the Lord, our God, the Father in Heaven; was a deity, and the creator of the realms which we see and do not see. The creator of all; but a being who so overpowered the deities that the Warreaigh had known that he was surely the 'god of the gods'.

Christian Values [mostly] stuck, to value your parents and to not kill or steal [within reason] were things which were already taught in the homes of the goodly peoples of the Warreaigh, and were just reaffirmed. But the idea that the only deity within the realms was the Christian 'God' [notice the capital G] was not one of them. Instead, during the migrations of the Warreaigh to Caorachstyr and eventually Warre, the Christian God was taught as the 'overgod' and the 'grand creator of everything', to whom prayed would be blasphemous. Adherence to his will was acceptable, but prayer or assumption that one was important enough within the realm of life to be worthy of his assistance or guidance; that was not. Prayers went out to the 'Old' gods with the same reverence as they always had. As was true of the old ways, where even tribes which held a god in higher reverence than the god of your tribe's favored and 'patron' god were treated with the same respect and difference as a spiritual kinsman, so too; Catholics of both Eireannaigh blood and Warreic blood came even with the earliest of the grand migrations to our glorious and verdant home. They were viewed not as 'heathens', but rather as simply people who viewed the world in a different way and thought differently. They might end up being wrong, but it was beyond the mortal scope for a man to decide; so long as they didn't break the laws or taboos of the land, they would be as safe as any old god worshiping man was.

And so, from the earliest times, the Warreic people held a secular tradition close to their hearts. My people, despite being 'unabashed pagans' to the layman Westerner, were the keys to the Kingdom in Boreas. The first western Kingdom to establish itself within those verdant and fertile lands, and the one which came into contact with the native tribes earliest, such as the Otchi and the Kilarna. Those tribes, who were ethnically not far from any western european in genetics, were more than simply that; but pagans as we were. Our teachings softened the walls of their beliefs before the march of the Catholics making those hearty structures of belief soften to to spears and spiritual stones which the Catholics would fling. The Creator, 'God' would have been an alien concept to them by the arrival of the Aquitanian Templars, of the Guianese and the Anglysh, if it had not been for the arrival of the Warreic traditions, and for our peoples protecting the structures of the Catholics within Warre; we were the shield wall of the incursions which followed, and the peoples whom lived upon this continent suffered because of our arrival making them believe all 'european' peoples 'friendly'.

Even as the blood of the natives rained upon the ground in wars with the Anglysh, with the Guianese, with the Aquitani, we stood with open arms to help the natives, to convert them, and to protect them in the way of our lord, Jesus [the] Christ, as the other peoples arriving felt that the word of the New Testament version God they followed was best taught by using the notorious wrath of the Old Testament Version God. We accepted the downtrodden Gaelaigh races who attempted to flee the arrival of the Vistraisian-Bataivian Kingdom upon their islands, we took Catholic missionaries and refugees from Eireann in many waves, offering them protection and friendship so long as they extended the same right which we extended to them; the right to believe what you wanted to believe so long as you left your neighbor in peace to believe what they would. When the Dominican Nations were warring with themselves and the Protestants, our Verdant forests and Golden fields stood around our deep azure harbors, beckoning 'Peace Be With You' to any who would dare give us a response of 'And also with you'. We offered a new life and peace, and so too we still do. Despite the fact that there are a few groups amongst our nation who wish to stop allowing any refugees entering, and promoting a 'strong and pure gaeltacht' position, we have accepted any who would live as we do and worship their god in silence. We promoted and protected the Dominican Religion to the point we have the oldest diocese on the CONTINENT, and we did it without asking for more payment than to be left alone and treated in friendship as we attempted to treat others. In return; we had war brought upon our ships and our peoples, our ventures tricked and trapped by the 'Good Christians' who followed the Dominican Catholic religion or some other form of the teachings of Our Grand Spiritual Advisor, Jesus [The] Christ. In short, what I mean is:

So don't throw stones, lest you find you're living in a glass house.

Special report: Riots in Riochtai an Iarthair provisional capital; Cleite Liath​

Following the full adoption of provisional law with in the Riochtai an Iarthair [Western Kingdoms, the current official name for the territories regained from the Freiheit regime on the part of the Warreic Ard Riocht], there were protests early in the day throughout the still infra-structurally lacking, war-torn territory; and these culminated [with a few local defense forces having taken aims to stop the protests from turning into full blown revolts]; in a full blown riot today in Cleite Liath**. The Riot was put down through the efforts of the Riochtai an Iarthair provisional police force, and the Warreic army.

The riots, come quickly after the conformation that the High Kingdom had and would have no intention of bending the current rule of the law, and that no concessions would be made to allow land or houses which were currently owned by civilians whom had newly been brought into the fold of the High Kingdom, to continue to own them without moves by those civilians to do their service and become citizens.

Beyond simply serving in the armed forces, police, medical services, emergency services corps, or one of the [many] other branches of the nation's services which allow for citizenship, the Iarthairaigh were also offered a chance at citizenship through working in rebuilding the infrastructure and economy of the Riochtai an Iarthair, through a newly created Ard Riocht chancellory, which has been dubbed the 'Chancellery of Iarthair Concerns', and which reportedly will hold powers normally reserved for the Chancellery of Transportation, the Ministry for Construction Safety; as well as work in conjunction with the other chancelleries to provide a rebuilt Riochtai an Iarthair, and to make sure their infrastructure properly connects to and fits with, Warreic infrastructure guidelines and goals.

The Riochtai an Iarthair P.P.F. has not commented on the number of arrests following the riot, but one native of the region calculated them in the 'high sixties low hundreds'.

[The second largest township within the Western Kingdoms, though this town (Grey Feather in English, Grau Feder in German) was the fourth largest township in the region pre-war.]

Hundreds found dead in rural Iarthair town of Nau Nurnberg​

Days have passed since the first thoroughly drunk civilian [Jon Reynolds as he called himself] entered the Caer Aimsir Liath [Literally (Warreic Gaelic): Fort Grey Weather] station of the Warreic Army, babbling about the massacre he had found in the ruins of a town the map called 'New Nurnberg'. The armed forces promptly sobered him up, and while doing so sent an expedition to secure the area and search it for clues.

Preliminary reports account for no less than three hundred and four [original reports say 304 and 2/3rds as one of the victims was pregnant at the time of death]; in the town, with the buildings burned, and many destroyed so thoroughly that hundreds more civilians could be dead from the attack.

The army and the Western Kingdoms P.P.F. are investigating possible culprits for the crimes, and at the bequest of the Council of Houses [Warre's lower legislature], two squads of Warreic Army troops are to be stationed at any town over the population of 150, with the Caers all on high alert and scouting to prevent any further murderous rampages from occurring.

Warreic Dominican Arch-Bishop Ceiran Mac Morn accuses considerations of use of crucifixion as a form of death penalty blasphemous.​

Tarah, Warre- Dominican Arch-Bishop for the Warres, Ceiran Mac Morn; was reported to go on a six hour sermon and protest over the military's recently leaked statements of considering crucifying Freiheit war-criminals; claiming fervently that it was the most blasphemous thing said from anyone [that's Warreic]'s mouth short of the High Druid himself Alborn Ui Connell in the past hundred years.

He further went on to request a meeting with the Crown Prince, Ceith Mac Aodh, concerning the matter. Ard Riocht government has not confirmed if the son that the revered and well-loved High King Lubra Mac Aodh is grooming to be the next High King; will accept the request, or the High King will deal with the matter.

Until it's dealt with, though, no Warreic Catholics need to be singing their Ave Marias lest they be smote by an angry over-god; the crucifixions are on hold as the matter is sorted out.
