The faction of the House of the Rising Sun wishes to officially
announce its rebirth.

Any previous associations, alliances and positions no longer apply
(particularly with regard to the now disbanded LotC).

Any future hostile or intelligence gathering attempts against our
nobles will be considered unprovoked hostile actions against our new
neutral faction status.

We look forward to meeting old and new friends and foes under
different colours and with new opportunities for comradeship and
cooperation.

Prince Oledema Firstborn, rescuer and leader of the
          Bloodhook Island Refugees

    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,

   Something is stirring.  I can feel a presence building.
