Greetings to all Olympians,

I am pleased to announce The Confederation has entered into a
Mutual Defense Pact with the House of Lords. The House of Lords
has always been a good and honourable neighbor, and it was our
pleasure, once again, to sign this treaty with such men as these.

Osmium Steele
Lord Deorward
Speaker for the Confederation

Citizens of Olympia,

    It gives me great pleasure to announce a mutual aid
and defense treaty with The Confederation. Any attack on
Confederation nobles or holdings will be considered by us
as an attack on our own nobles or holdings. Altough they
have seceeded from our long time ally, the TIB alliance,
I am very pleased that the Confederation have continued
dedicated to peace and prosperity. I am proud to consider
them friends.

    Our webpage is still available at
http://www.ip.pt/~ip231870/HoL.htm and altough it is
slightly out of date, it may contain usefull information
if you are considering travelling to or through our
territory.

Live long and prosper,
Lord Ralek Arkham
Speaker for the House of Lords
Kingdom of Cragstan


                                -- House of Lords [tq9]

*****
   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.

 through hostile wilderness or dangerous waters?  Then contact The
Brotherhood of the Red God, and for a modest fee we can
send an escort by caravan on land or via ship.  We specialize

strikes.  If you are in need, drop us a line at:
