KHANDAVA NEWS #2544
Date: 11/6/2010 at 21:10
From: Tempest Sanai Vladin, Aryana's Judgement
To : Everyone
Subj: Kinsarmar
-- Many chances have been given to the citizens of Kinsarmar, and each one has
been
soundly rejected in favor of further idiocy. Now they defile my Lady's shrines
and expect passivity. This I can not abide as Her Consul, and so I must take
the fight to them personally. As a result, this conflict may stretch beyond the
lines of religion and into the bounds of city against council. Both seek
reasons to aggress the other, and our hunt against those who would defile will
likely justify them in escalation as it has once before. I ask that all
maintain due vigilance and prepare for the worst.
Maintain standard discipline - cloak tattoos are a necessity, as should you
avoid standing on ground without monolith sigils and be prepared to avoid
errant prisms. To those who stand for the Council, I ask that you remain alert.
Our erstwhile 'allies' grow bolder by the day, and soon they will make a
mistake. Those who would shield fair Khandava must be prepared to put down
those who would bring offenses to
her lands.To those who would stand with the Lady Arcane, I ask that you seek me
in private.

The above is a recent news post in your council from Sanai Vladin, recently
appointed "Consul of Life" in the Order of Eloweth, the Sleeping One.
Let me point out a few errors in the above post, which while moving, is quite
literally loaded with flaws and insinuations. This is our retort to the
usurpers of Lady Eloweth's Power.
The chances given by Khandava to Kinsarmar for any sort of reconciliation have
been so far a single ultimatum, which is, to remove Insinyan Virs from
Kinsarmar, and his Guildmaster Position over what was a squabble between a few
people, a squabble that may be mentioned, was started by the Caliph's
Council against him to bait him into some sort of reaction. The Khandavan
Caliph's decided to Enemy Insinyan, and then Unenemy him thinking this was
"Funny" before Insinyan ever attacked any of them. Insinyan didnt take this as
any sort of fun, and instead as many would do, reacted to them. While this may
not have been the soundest judgement, the intent of Insinyan was never to
involve his guild, but to take out his own personal problems with the people
who caused them. When he was refused audience, he took the only path left to
him.
In reaction, Lionas, was hit by a few traps outside of Khandava, set by
Insinyan. Anyone with experiance knows that traps, especially darts are sort
of hard to die to on their own unless you are very weak, or very inept, both of
which Lionas claims he is NOT. However, here is the neat part, Lionas knowing
that Insinyan traps Kinsarmar for her defense, and knowing he was enemied to
Insinyan's personal list, instead of avoiding the city, walks in, and finds a
trap, and then sits there with all his defenses and reflexes off and LETS it
kill him. This was observed.
How is that for escalating matters? Taking an incident from personal to
political? Seems how things are going so far.
Since this "Incident" or "Accident" however you want to call it, they have
bayed for his blood, and it has not been given, Insinyan was charged with
Manslaughter, because truly, his intent was never to attack Lionas inside
Kinsarmar. His fine was paid, and his sentance served. However, instead of
ending the incident, things further went on.
On the matter of the Order of Eloweth, this started with Ristani, Inducting new
priests, and adding them to the Triumverate which rules the Arcane Order, which
was wrong of him. These were Dias and Ranai, as Terror and Life Respectively.
Rait, the former terror was never around, and so Ristani thought to replace
him. What happened next however, is that Rait suddenly awakened, and then
amazingly removed Ranai and Dias from the order, and placed "His" friends in
those positions. NONE of this was sanctioned by the Lady, the Trium are never
supposed to replace one of their own without the ENTIRE orders approval or the
Ladies Approval. Yet this was done.
Shortly after the induction of Sanai, and Khizan into the order, they were
placed in the Life, and Change trim positions respectively. I myself, being
only of medium rank kept my mouth shut on this entire thing, except to let them
know that Eloweth would not be pleased. Shortly afterward I was removed from
the Order, and then when I noticed nearly all Kinsarmarian's removed from the
order as well, under the words of Khizan saying we were "Dead Weight",
Kinsarmar's council in a security meeting decided that until Eloweth awoke
again and regained control of Her order, that Her shrines were merely another
way for these power hungry agressors to attack our people. Her shrines were
placed under law as no longer welcome within the city and subsequently removed.
I was enemied before these shrines were removed by the way, wonder what my own
crime was other than observing?
Sanai prates on about taking the fight to Kinsarmar, yet Kinsarmar has not been
the agressor in any of this. We have not made Khandavans unwelcome, we have
not singled out any person from there, over order or anything else. However,
we cannot sit idly by anymore. Our city can now consider itself under attack
from these people, and until Khandava regains its sanity, and its willingness
to stop playing in other peoples sandboxes, they will no longer be welcomed.
Those in Khandava, those that wish to be away from those insane individuals
that are called Caliph's and rule Khandava with a fist of fear, and threats, Kinsarmar welcomes you with open arms to join her. Those Khandavans
that are currently in Kinsarmar Guilds. We only ask from you an Oath of
Noninvolvement, that if you do not breach, you will be formally allied with the
duchy and as such able to continue as you were. Kinsarmar must defend herself.
This will be placed into affect within three months, we appologize for any inconvenience.
((As a side note, an attempt was made to not bring this to public spectacle, but instead place a few letters within reach of the Khandavan citizenry so that this whole debacle wouldnt become the worlds little entertainment, but as this venue was rejected with extreme force, this now seems the only way to present it at large to those who are affected.))
Long Live Magick,
Long Live the Duchy.
