The ulmish high command would like to address the following issues...

While it is true that the emo goth kids were right about the counts, we still insist that they keep their blood lettings contained in the designated areas, the unrest it causes the regular peasants is very upsetting.

We would also like to apologize to C'tis for the mix up in the counts schedule. Seems they thought the lizards were interested in their music, though they aren't really musicians as such, and when the lizard fans rushed the stage, the count unfortunately was so frightfully awesome that the panicked lizards eventually fled their homes entirely. We are taking steps to counsel the sanguine counts on their behavior outside of friendly dominions.

It also seems clear that certain nations have taken advantage of the goodwill of the atlantian merchants, we are sad to see this transpire and hope that atlantis is able to at least maintain some presence, even if it is underwater.

It also seems that some members of the 2nd order were seen participating in an engagement with the army, we would like to remind the army that magic in ulm is banned, other than by the members of the priestly order, whom are seemingly too busy at their forges these days to actually police the magic sector, and when our captain was sent out to investigate he and his men returned in a feeble minded condition, clearly the members of the 2nd order are not to be triffled with.

We would also like to send our warmest regards to Pythium for remaining such a staunch supporter of our lucky lottery program, and to Agartha for maintaining the status quo in the east.

We cannot take an official position on the difficulties currently brewing between Midgard and Utgard, but are sure that two nations with such closely matched names cannot possibly be really trying to eliminate one another.
