Announcement from the Krussos Federation:
Hugh O'Neil and the Celts have previously violated our borders and indulged
in concealed scouting of our territory.  This was an annoyance and allowed
to pass.  However recently, his neutrality as an independent trader has
been called into question with revelations of collusion with mercenaries.
Disclosures on Atala involving claim jumping and BoRG nobles when added
to intelligence reports of multiple combat nobles with over 200 catapults
near our border, have now shown Hugh O'Neil to be an active belligerent
and a security risk to the Krussos Federation.  It is the decision of
the Krussos Federation to annex the territory.

WAR!! WAR!! WAR!!

Not really, but since I have your attention, I'd like to
announce that the Hanover Consortium has taken over the
Travel Advisory Page!

Recently updated and better than ever!

We accept unconfirmed reports from reputable sources
and confirmable reports from disreputable sources.

*****
   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 of 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.

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