Travellers Warning! Eastern Provinia & Western Camaris

Rimmon & Yellowleaf and entire surrounding area - Extreme Hazard
Great chance to be caught up in this - stay away!

Greyfell - Hazard
Getting more dangerous - stay west of line 48 (50 in br-bt), 
or remain in the safe haven of Greyfell. Recommended route
out of the warzone is d21(Greyfell)-bs51(forest)-bs50(plain)-
bs49(forest)-bs48(plain)-bs47(plain) and south and/or west
from here.

Western Camaris - Ultimate Hazard!
Crimson Dragons are at war, and have promised to slay all trespassers.

My hostile list is now in my inventory.
If Rimmon would see the error of their ways,
and leave us be, further lessons can be avoided.
Unless they abandon NOE territory right now,
and retreat to their territory (same as prior to
the war except Annium, line 56 becomes the new border)
we will be forced to continue our efforts.

You all now by now I don't react to well to threats.
Thanks for your consideration, and once and for all
let it be known throughout Provinia :
'trespassers notify your next of kin.'

for the Nation of Ergoth,

                    -- Regent Elthar of Greyfell [z059]

*****
   To All Factions:
   The continent of Camaris is an active war zone.
   Any noble there is liable to attack without warning.

   In particular, any noble not present at the express invitation
   of the Foriegn Minister of the Crimson Dragons is considered by the
   Crimson Dragons to be a hostile noble, and will be attacked without
   warning.  Express invitation means that he will say, "Come to this
   place and do this thing now."  All offers to join the Crimson Dragons
   or to attack our supposed enemies are rejected unless specifically
   approved by our Foriegn Minister.  If he doesn't say Yes, then he
   probably means No.

   It is not our desire to attack neutral or "newbie" factions, we
   consider that a waste valuable noble-days, but we are at war (which
   we also consider a waste of vaulable noble-days), despite our
   desires to the contrary, and as such we will fanatically defend the
   integrity of our claimed lands.  We regard any entry to Camaris by
   any means as an invasion.

   Uninvited guests will be regretfully hunted down and killed.

   Don't come, we don't want you.

   I hope the preceding is clear and to the point, and I regret the
   need to post this so often.

   Vultures Vultures everywhere.



Well I sure hope the savages don't
notice the Inn I built.



 Well, I know who I am, and I know I don't post my name all in caps.
I also know that I appear at the bottom of the Times rumors, not
the top, and that I don't sound quite that silly.  Further, I know
lots about shadows, and I know people don't form brotherhoods, or
alliances, or anything else in them.  They just skulk, like me.

 And yes, I'm still here, and yes,

    -You Know Who I Am.
