+++++++++++++++Notice to Olympians++++++++++++++

As some of you may have guessed by now, the TIB Alliance is no more.

In order to maintain stability in western Provinia, TIB's neighbors
have entered into a land deal to divide former TIB land on Provinia.

The provinces will be divided between the Lambent Crimson Glow,
the Greyfell Lords, and Phoenix (formerly Bandit/Jackal).
Members of the House of Lords and The Confederation also participated
in the talks.

I will leave it to the various parties whether to make any public statements
regarding their specific land claims, but let this serve as public notice
that EVERY TIB province on Provinia has been claimed. Each faction/alliance
will deal with squatters as their laws permit.

All parties have already moved significant forces into the area to enforce
their claims.

I would like to thank, and congratulate all of the parties for the
patience, and high level of cooperation displayed throughout the
negotiations. It has been a pleasure, and an honor to work with you all.

Osmium Steele
Lord Deorward
Speaker for The Confederation

    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.

      Speaking for the Crimson Dragon Ministry of Internal Security,

                                       -- Cudgel [9129]



   Attention All Citizens of Olympia.

   We hereby establish the Sudhire Enclave.  A 25 province safehaven
   around the city of Sudhire in da48.  We hope that this area will
   be a place of learning and refuge for all new players, as well as
   for those independent and homeless factions out there that are
   tired of war and conflict on Provinia.

   We are peaceful.  The Enclave had no intentions of escalating the
   tensions in the regions with our presence.  We have noble hopes that
   our new neighbors will look beyond our combat stacks to instead our
   peaceful words.  We have no territorial intentions beyond the square
   marked by and including the provinces of cx46, cx50, dc46 and dc50.

   The Enclave sincerely hope that we will be allowed the time to prove
   our words and actions are as we say.  We have no wish for war.  As
   previously stated, our ONLY intention is to create a safe zone on
   Provinian for new players to adapt.  And as an outlet for those
   independents to trade and for the free exchange of information and
   ideas.

   Once completed, The Enclave will provide security and places of study
   as well as scrolls free of charge to all new and independents factions
   of Olympia.

   Please feel free to contact us.

                               -- Sudhire Regent [k618]
