Pirates

[Viktor Ahriman]

A friendly request to the nation that is supporting pirates.  We have lost 2 vessels due to these pirates off our shores.  Our nation has been peaceful for many many years and wish the nation to recall these 2 ships off our shores.  Many lives have been lost for no reason.

Don't worry, a detachement of the Babylonian air fleet is already in your capital and some ships are being sent to erase those pathetic excuses of ships that a unhonored leader decided to send to this side of the sea....

Of course this deeds will be reapayed with interest to the that leader, in due time.... Piracy is a vile ocupation for a suposedly religious and civilized leader, so I assume that this leader is really neither of them, and as such he has no place in a civilized world.

The black sailes of the pirate ships now site in our harbor blockading and refusing trade ships to enter the city.  Strong evidence is being compiled that this is the work of the founders.  A known civilization across the ocean that has been at war for some time.  Agarthia has remained silent in their war and was neutral.   But it would seem that the founders are trying to spread their bloodshed to this continent.  If this is not the work of the founders, it is most certainly someone within their alliance.  Thus falls back on the shoulders of the founders to communicate to their allies that these pirate ships need to be withdrawn.  Lets just say you have been warned

It is very easy to prove this is not the work of The Founders. If you could provide us with the information requested (ie. the specific location of these pirates) we will send our nearest naval vessel to engage them. If these pirates were working for The Founders such an act would be impossible by the laws of this world.

To falsely accuse us is understandable given that we are currently at war and our enemies seem capable of doing anything to thwart our righteous cause - including resorting to trickery to deceive you.

I will speak to the other members of the coalition. The Founders have always tried to help those who follow The Path and provide any and all necessary resources to help improve their lives. However, we have found it impossible to teach new technologies to our friends due to the complicated writings used by our scholars. I do not know if any of our allies have the capability of disguising their ships in the manner you are describing.

The Arctic Nomads have followed the path of the Founders for many centuries now & are like them opposed to piracy - our ships will engage any such ships sighted in our own or international waters for the good of all.

Embrace the Truth & follow the Path

I here make a apology request to the Founders. They are not the culprits of this pirate action ( earlier ones are still in debate, though ).

After later reports of my security inteligence, I have solid evidences that another nation, competely unlerated to the Founders, is the source of the two privateers that are acting in the NW of the continent Viktor and I share. I will make a formal announcement soon in my embassy.

In 1495 a Nomads Galleon conducting scientific studies of the Whale population in the Arctic seas off the north coast of our honourable trade partners the Agarthians was attacked by pirates. After a fierce fight the veteran Galleon crew forced the pirates to withdraw but were unable to pursue & lost track of them in the northern waters.

(ooc - there's a badly damaged privateer somewhere in the polar waters north of Agartia for those pursuing)

Declassified reports now state that the 3rd Shadow Division has burned a barbarian settlement NE of our country.  A scout had spotted this city.  We do not know if the pirate ships had come from this settlement.  We dont think so as our northern fleet would have spotted them before getting to our capital.  Unless the barbarians sent the ships all the way around the world, but I doubt it.  Apon finding this settlement, plans were made to destroy it.  The 3rd Shadow division was sent in.  After a very bloody fight, when morning arrived, the city could be seen with smoke rising over it.

A big thanks to all the nations involved in fighting and persuing the pirates that invaded our waters.  We would like to thank IanDC, Roland of Babylon.  We still do not know for sure where these ships have come from, but we do have 'leads' and will continue to follow them.  Thunder will rain down on those who promote pirates.  The people that starved in our capital will have their justice.
