[Septimius Severus]

Game note:

I've created a work in progress preview(s) of the teams and themes for Nav II and NaV III. You'll find them in the attached files. I think it will be fun to pit nature vs death vs astral vs blood and to have teams adhere to a common theme (whether through nation choice or pretender choice) giving them specific strengths and weaknesses. I know I will enjoy watching the action. R'lyeh may be allowed with certain caveats.

To Caelum/Illuminated:

Caelum, this is Severus, your old pal and comrade in arms who loves you. Don't go on fighting against the Mysterios, we are not your enemy. We know that you are not like the rest of those despicable Devas. We know that you are not evil like the maniacal evil Doctor Praetorious but rather you've been corrupted by their sinister influence. Yes, we savagely slaughtered your god (as much as any dead thing can be killed) but it was (how shall I say) unwise of him to rush into battle against 5 SCs.

I admonish you my old friend, turn your back on your so-called companions, they are not your friends. They don't love you like we do. Stop your foolish attacks and join with the rest of the freedom fighters against the Devas. We shall spare most of your lands and your people. Set your mages to attack closest and evacuate your fortresses so that we may conquer the provinces necessary to accomplish this. Cleave to my busom once more. Betake yourself of my companionship like in the days of old.
