Pythium Baby-Killing Alleged

Inland (ONN) Rumors continued to surface alleging the wholesale slaughter of infants in territories conquered by the Pythium military. Sources, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals, indicated that Pythium standard practice after conquering an enemy province is to put to death any children who might grow up to avenge their father's deaths. The heads of widows of fallen soldiers are shaved, and the harvested hair is used to stuff the pillows of the conquerors.

Reaction from neighboring governments was swift. "It's a clear continuation of Pythium's rampant militarism. After the tragedy of Solian, is anyone truly surprised?" said a source within the nation of Man.

Following Pythium's explosive territorial expansion, diplomatic channels have become more active with calls of condemnation for the so-called "renegade nation." While no nation will go on record as openly calling for a multilateral intervention in the situation, privately, great concern is being expressed in the back hallways of government of all of Pythium's neighbors.

A representative from the government of Pythium could not be contacted for comment before press time.
