Vanheim can only smile in the face of the Caelian warmongering. For the Caelians reveal the lies behind their actions with their own words. By Caelum's own declaration, they possess a mighty army, many times larger than that of our own. By Caelum's own declaration, they have access to mighty magics with which to summon the Lords of the Elements. We also note that it was Caelum who most recently launched a war of expansion against Mictlan, seeking to bring more lands under their power, whereas Vanheim's recent war was provoked by Helheim's invasion.

Will you trust the word of Caelum, whose magical might clearly dwarfs all other nations? Look to your own borders if you trust the Caelians, for you may soon find their Tartarians at your gates.

Unlike Caelum, we do not arrogantly call on the other nations to accede to our demands. We merely wish to be left alone. Should Caelum's troops violate our borders, they will be throw back, as will all other invaders.
