True to their serpent-like nature, the Ctissians have broken their NAP with no warning in Pythium's hour of darkest need. The Emerald Empire recommends their neighbors do the same to them in the future. We have repelled their advance and will send forth the Southern Legion to supplement our diet with BBQ lizard meat.
Nevertheless, we thank them though for they have motivated us to do all we can to throw off the Ashdod invaders so that we might wreak vengeance on their slimy lizard souls.
PS Ashdod, what was your PD in that province that even my (admittedly not well-suited to be an SC) pretender could not take?
