PEACE SHATTERED!
-Aggressors in the south have forced our great King's hand.
Report by Rondell Reed.
-75th Spring, 281 AE
The hostile actions by King Kenridge the Third have finally pushed our great leader to end 171 years of peace. Our honourable King, His Majesty Rothan the Second, announced this morning that the evil ruler of the Taridan Empire to our south has been holding the crown prince of Veriquae, Prince Willard, hostage for the past three weeks.
"This kidnap of my son will not go unpunished!" King Rothan promised. "We will strike deep into the heart of the southern capital city Terricine and reclaim the future King of Veriquae!"
Immediately following the King's declaration of war, scouts were dispatched informing our troops along the Great Roadway of the situation. Our boys quickly turned on the cowardly Taridan troops who they shared the guard with and valiantly slew them!
Merchants all over the city are excited about the new prospects offered by the coming war. One local blacksmith stated "We may not be able to acquire cheap grain from the south any more, and we may have to live on sunflower seeds for a time, but just think of all the demand for weaponry!"
When questioned as to the disadvantages of attacking an opponent who holds such a trump card in the form of his own son, King Rothan II regretfully reminded his court that he too had a bargaining chip of great value: King Kenridge's daughter, Princess Andeia.
