The Secession of the Kingdom of Acre from the Free Companies of Calradia

James remembered the first time he had been introduced to Keshian. He had been astounded by the knowledge that the man seemed to possess. There was no doubt that joining the FCC was the right decision to make following the closure of the Dracul/Raven conflict. Having himself had an unorthodox education spent outside of castle walls often deep in the forests James made excellent use of Keshians knowledge, learning every step of the way.

The partnership had been a fruitful one for the crusader kingdom. The faction had blossomed inside of the FCC and the Confederacy v. FCC conflict had seen tested another generation of crusaders. It had seen the kingdom regain territory taken from it unjustly by expansionist southerners. The southerners had proven fierce opponents and James had been glad to have the assistance of the Free Companies.

Throughout his Kingdom’s time in the Free Companies James learned who Kesh truly was. A mastermind of tactics and operations, the man had done so much for the Kingdom. James had an emblem crafted from the finest gold mined in the lands far past the northern bridge. He dispatched a rider to deliver the emblem in person. The golden cross of Acre a symbol of James’ gratitude and of Keshian’s service to the cause.

There had been much discussion between the two leaders as to how and when the faction would exit the alliance. It had been James’ goal for a long time to separate from the FCC and once again rule Acre as an independent Kingdom. Now was that time. The process had been initiated. The Kingdom would leave the alliance while keeping control of New Slezkh Castle, New Yruma Castle and the northern fortress city of Nova Curaw. In exchange an undisclosed amount of troops would be delivered to Keshian in the very near future.

Talks were held, documents signed and approved. Peace agreements extended to the FCC in recent conflicts would cover Acre as it seceded and to become an independent Kingdom.

James had a letter drafted to send to all relevant leadership across the realm,

Greetings Lords, Ladies, Gobblins, Elves, Dwarves, other peoples of Calradia,

I am King James of the Crusader Kingdom of Acre. My faction holds lands in the tundra in the name of the Holy chadz and the other Gods who created the land we live in. Our faction was once headed by King Reinhardt. His reign has passed and through his abdication I came to lead this zealous group. We have most recently seceded from the Free Companies of Calradia on positive terms. I want to make clear that I hold no grudges against anyone in this great land. I do however lay claim to all territory currently held by my faction. We will defend it to the last so help us the Gods. I wish to explore positive relations with as many of your factions as I can. You may have had dealings with Reinhardt and Keshian in the past, two warriors to whom I owe much in this land. I ask that you judge us not for your interactions with these men. Judge us instead for our actions towards you moving forward as a faction. I ask that you offer us as clean a slate as much as you can. Many of my men are new to this land, having arrived from caravans in the north and off ships to the east. We hope the grudges of kings dead and kingdoms forgotten will not transfer unto Acre in this new age. I look forward to diplomatic relations with all of you. As we reach our independence I ask you to bring all matters of importance to Myself, Lord Axeman, or Marshal Jedae. In the event that neither of these three are available a Knight or Crusader of the faction should be able to notify us with haste.

Gods be good,
King James of Acre

The deal was done and the letters to the realm off to their destinations on numerous ravens. The Kingdom had once again reached independence. The king then went to speak with his second in command, Lord Axeman. The two discussed faction diplomacy and the coming challenges that the faction would face. Noting the 7th hour the two knights took the moment to say their daily prayer.

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
in Calradia, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

James bid the Lord of New Yruma farewell and left to return north to Nova Curaw.

The Kingdom of Acre declares independence on positive terms from the Free Companies of Calradia. Looking forward to making our own diplomatic choices. There will be more posts in the future relating to our policies as we create them. Please refer to the Faction Hall Acre under King James post page one as I will update it with our diplomacy. As of now we declare neutrality and forgive all past offences against us. We will be in a period of transition for colours and teamspeak as we have all of our guys switch over.

Congratulations on your independence, and good luck!

Interesting! You're off to a good start too, with two castles and a town. Hopefully you don't just sit around doing nothing with them. WFA are a comparable faction in that area, maybe go knocking on their doors and say 'hello' after you finish getting settled in?

Also out of curiosity, what's your policy on trading going to be? The FCC free trade fiefs around Curaw were great to sell in since they're near the edge of the map and it would be a bummer if you guys closed your borders.

[njames89]

Borders closed for the next 2 days during this transfer process then we will be opening them up for some trade. Anyone currently in our fiefs is welcome to remain or leave. All FCC members still have free passage.

[Stabb]

I hope to continue fighting alongside you guys in strat ;)

[Keshian]

Just wanted to say, appreciate your guys help in the last war - definitely one of the most active factions on the map and would never have been even remotely as successful a campaign without acre.  Im looking forward to seeing another large clan establish themselves and be active on the map providing bountiful gifts of xp to all.  You shall be missed.

P.S.  James your post made me blush.   

[njames89]

Nothing but the truth! Also we now have set up our own independent teamspeak server at thecrusadersofacre.cwvoice.com drop by and introduce yourself at your leisure! The more the merrier. Acre leadership would be happy to speak to any other faction leadership in the realm that wishes to hold a meeting be it for introduction purposes or to discuss other strategus/C-rpg matters.

So, acre is going independent again.
