War!
Since Sauromatia has chosen to make our quarrel public, Vanheim will respond in kind:
Though he now uses the title of "The Sauromation Resistance", this war began with an unprovoked attack on a province we had only recently brought under our banner. This mere days after we had sent an offer of peace.
As he sent no reply or even an honest challenge, but only a many headed monster and a score of archers, we had no choice but to respond in kind. We swept his forces from our land and pursued them into his.
Now he is desperate and begs for others to take up what he began and cannot hope to finish alone.
We admit our losses were greater than expected. His poisoned arrows seem to bring death even when they cannot pierce our armor and some of our brave Vanherse have choked on the noxious fumes of his monsters. Though in truth the monsters rarely last long enough to do much harm.
This month he emptied his capital and was able to defeat my vanguard at great cost. Reinforcements will be sent. This loss will be avenged.
Sveigder, Prophet of Shaiar
