Mae Govannen lords of Calradia.
Thoroughly pleased to see you guys still have will enough to read this stuff. Radsvids declaration was poetic but there seems to be some confusion as to the decision to declare war on the Starks. So I'm hopefully going to clarify.
The principal cassus belli is that the Starks have now twice made aggression on our allies. They first attacked the Squids who were (by Squids I mean MIND CALAMARI) helping us in our war against Bryggan's Empire. This was said to be an accident so we didn't respond harshly- though it was sort of a wedding crasher. More recently the Starks marched an army through our lands and attacked Blue in Curaw. Curaw is in some sort of client state agreement with us. Blue is independent in governance but is offering some trade benefits in exchange for military protection. Thus we intervened and helped defend Curaw as the agreement dictates. Following this attack, Tristan was sighted with a second army right on our doorstep. His intentions were unknown but given the circumstances we were not willing to risk another attack that would put us at a disadvantage (Rostam's reinforcement of Curaw was a close thing I hear). The majority of Mithrim's council voted in favour of declaring war due to there being little hope of sustaining peace and to address the attacks on our allies leaving me without reluctance in declaring war.
Whether the Stark's radical expansionism is a true threat to the North is undetermined and thus Taser and the HoC are not obligated to take part. Thats right Bryggan, The Warden's are a confederation, not an empire. Mithrim in reality only holds a small portion of the strat map.
We hope that the end result of this will be removing the Starks from our borders and securing our selves against their vandalism. We are not pursuing a total wipe out or a large scale land grab.
Hope that clears things up and I hope to see you on the field soon!
Signed and sealed,
Finnian Tiercel, Lord Warden of the Wardens of the North and King of Mithrim
EDIT: I see you guys have attacked some HoC villages.... :3 HAVE FUN WITH BONESAW
