Greetings and Salutations from the Great White North

The Confederation is looking for a few good factions!

Are you a new arrival, a little overwhelmed at the possibilities?

The Confederation wants to help you!

Are you an experienced independant, ready to join other like-minded
players in a loose, unrestricted environment to increase your own
enjoyment of the game?

The Confederation is just what the doctor ordered!

Has your Mega-powerful alliance just dissolved, and you are wondering
what you can do with yourself now?

The Confederation would love to have you join the team!

We have opportunities for every faction, no matter the experience level.

Phen376022@aol.com is the e-mail address to secure yourself a great,
new future, with almost unlimited possibilites.

We want to hear from you!

Osmium Steele
Lord Deorward
Speaker for The Confederation

                        -- The Hanover Consortium [pv2]



 The Rimmon Musketeers salute the Lords of the Crown as doughty
 and valiant adversaries.  The Musketeers entered the war to stop
 the expansion of the Lords by conquest and are happy to achieve
 this goal.

 We are still discussing the results of the Lords leaving Provinia.
 Any faction or alliance hoping to occupy land in the former territory
 of the Lords please contact us for discussion.  The Musketeers
 wish to prevent chaos giving rise to a Mad Dog or Lord Bane
 attacking travelers and neighbors.

    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]
