ODE in remembrance of Lord Jheremai the Scarlet Known to most through legend and deed. The famed Lord Jheremai the Scarlet was an all around nice guy, who believed strongly in the feudal system as seen in the recent change of Harn Alliance becoming the Harn Confederacy.Always willing to lend a hand to those new in these realms.Once I recall he gave his castle and holdings to a new nobel... No doubt his KINDNESS was LEGENDARY. Most notable of Lord Jheremai's accomplishments and probably the pinnacle of negotiation arts was his successful implementation of the Grand Council of Ambassadors... No doubt his CREATIVITY was LEGENDARY. Not long ago it seemed the fates had smiled on Lord Jheremai as Garen Shadow Stalker left these hallowed lands of Olympia. He bequeathed his holdings of Mount Olympus and the Castle. to the Scarlet one... No doubt his LUCK was LEGENDARY. As he took possession of the famed Mountain he could hardly overlook the armies of the north amassing around the castle slaying savages left and right. Apparently they too had claim to the famed mountain. Yet he stood firm and negotiated a settlement... No doubt his FORTITUDE was LEGENDARY. During the heated negotiations and saber rattling he was offered a seat amongst one of the most powerful alliances in the realm but declined due to his prior commitment to the Bobentine Empire... No doubt his HONOR was LEGENDARY. Jheremai the Scarlet will be missed in life but will live on in Legend and song...

There are unauthorized castles going up everywhere on many continents. If you want to prevent this, you had better garrison quickly. Otherwise, you'll be facing an army in your midsts which you're not prepared for.
The "Coucheteers," which the Vulture has coined the Musketeers, aren't on the couch any longer. They're turning the channel and focusing on other events and news. Soon they'll be directing the events (and acting).
Meanwhile, Plato has landed that army yet seems directionless. Are they messing up their orders? Probably, since it's hard to coordinate so many troops and factions. It only gives the Lords more breathing time before their doom.

Let's see here, The Belgium Boy's are kickin butt on the Harn Inner Circle Coalition so PLATO lands 400+ troops on the southern coast. Can Eagle be far behind?
Will Plato loose on penalities (just like England)
