Olympians,

The Confederation is pleased to announce that we have signed a Non Agression
Pact with the Greyfell Lords.
They have proven themselves to be a stabilizing influence in the Greyfell
region, and we welcome further cooperation between our alliances.

Lord Deorward
Speaker for The Confederation

In need of more troops or a second flank?  How about an armed escort
 through hostile wilderness or dangerous waters?  Well then, you're on
your own from now on!!!!  Effective Immediately, the BoRG have
disbandedand are going their separate ways, and most of us are leaving
Oly.  Anyand all contracts we currently have are now Null and Void, and
we are obviously accepting no more new ones.  If you have any questions,

feel free to contact us at

                asgardian.geo@yahoo.com

for the next week.  We here at the BoRG wish EVERYONE all the best,
and we hope to see many of you in strange new lands in the not so
distant future.

                May the Red God smile upon you.

                                        -- Wodan [d987]



   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.

Greetings Fellow Olympians!

I know the rumors of a new alliance have been out
there and many were not sure if it was here-say or
truth. I am happy to banish the clouds of doubt and
announce and make official the creation of a new
alliance

             -The Greyfell Lords-

Our domains include the Syr-Antin, Farnham's Freehold
and lands formerly controlled by the Nation of Ergoth.
We are proud to be joining the Peaceful Alliances
already operating the North Western area of Provinia
in particular and the the Northern Hemisphere of
Olympia in general.

We enjoy good if not excellent relations with all
Northern Alliances as a result of which we have
pursued and attained peaceful treaties with the
following.

1) A Non-Aggression Treaty with the proven peace
loving and honest Confederation.

2) A mutual Defense Treaty with the Rimmon Musketeers
which excludesthe ongoing war between Rimmon and the
Lords Of The Crown.


PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH is the code we live by.
We realize many will fear that which they don't
understand or that which is shrouded in darkness.
In that vein we embrace openness  as our guiding
principle and invite all and sundry to drop us a
line or pay us a visit.


1) All our lands are open to travelers and caravans
   both old and new.

2) Construction is permitted without request "except
   castles"

3) We levy no taxes or tariffs.

4) We do not restrict recourse collection in any way!

5) Our emissary the  "Lord Chancellor" will be ready
   to answer all of your questions, if any.

The major attribute of our regency style of government
is opennes and mutual cooperation. Thus we intend to
maintain peace and stability in the greater Greyfell
area.

All of those who wish to know more are invited to
visit our alliance charter at
http://expage.com/page/greylords.

Soon we shalll also announce the opening of the
Greyfell Lords web site for your pleasure and
understanding.

Finally we are now actively recruiting . Alliance
membership is open to all peaceful nobles who agree to

live by  our  alliance Charter and codes. Present
members include the legitimate rulers of Syr-Antin,
Farnham's Freehold, former NoE factions, former
Soutmarche factions , 1 former Rimmon Musketeer as
well  as a number of former independents.

Petition  for membership now and begin your trek to
a bright and promising Future.

- Cosimo I, Duke of Greyfell
- Adam, the crystal blue Mage, Lord Counselor
- Ebony Knight, Lord Chancelor

   Doom! Certain Doom!



   Egraal shall come again!



   THE GREYFELL LORDS!



    By the campfire the swordmen sat honeing their blades
    They talked of the good ole days of war and slaughter.
    Some wanted to return to the days of The Blood baths.
    They spoke of a city, but never called it by name.
    But they all agreed, soon, very soon.



    I suspect it's about to get exciting
