The great war has begun.
The world must be prepared for Shaiar's return.
We knew that the other powers would turn on us when we attacked Arcosephale so there was no choice but to strike as hard and fast as possible, in hopes of being able to deal with them before having to defend ourselves.
Malverni, we regret your decision to break our alliance. It was a good alliance and benefited both of us. Do not regret the deaths of the demonic monkeys. We would have been glad to aid you further against them, but they fell to fast and only one of us could seige their capital.
We look forward to meeting you on the battlefield.
Mictlan, our Vanheres have long wished to test themselves against your jaguars. The battles will be glorious.
Ermor, we salute your honor in continuing our fight against the blood-worshippers who have oppressed your people.
Hakon, Prophet of Shaiar
OOC:
Thrawn, I feel guilty about trashing you that brutally, but I really felt I had little choice.
Wherever I attacked, I think the others would have struck as soon as I was occupied. You I could take out quick, since you had left yourself wide open, leaving me with only a three front war.
Next game, I bet you build provincial defense, though
This game isn't over by any means. I just watched a brutal battle between Ermor and Mictlan. I don't know if I could have beaten Mictlan's army. And he lost, badly.
