[Hellboy]

We the warm and peace loving people of Abysia are now the victims of an unprovoked, unjust war! Our attempts to placate the insatiable Dragon of the West (aka Nodens of Arcoscephale) have failed, and now his forces have attacked Abysian territory.

In Nodens correspondence with us he has repeatedly impugned our honor and accused us of lying, so we use this public forum in defense of our honor. Skipping the details of our correpondence, the upshot of it was that on turn 8, Nodens claimed a perimeter that fenced in a whopping 27+ provinces, while our perimeter would be likely 19-21. When we accede to some of his demands (but not all) Nodens sends us missives including such statements as:
"... while talk of peace you take provinces I clearly establish as my dominion ... ".
However these claims of his were never established by mutual negotiaion, instead unilateral on Nodens' part. Were we to accept all his demands, and cede uncontested this area of 27+ provinces, it certainly would have crippled our nation, but also likely led to great trial and tribulation for any neighbor of Nodens.

In defense of all the people in the world of the Golden Lion we have drawn a line as to how much Arcoscephalian greed we will tolerate. No more, we say! We Abysians being the peace loving people that we are, are ill prepared for this war. If any nation would be willing to render any type of assistance, be it however minor, we would be most grateful. Types of assistance that we could use would include: scouting reports, trade in forged items (particularly ones useful for SC combat), loans, etc. We encourage any nation interested in defending the world from Arcoscephalian appetite in engaging us in private discourse via PM or email.

All the above is (of course) in character. Out of character, we get it: Have dragon, must travel
