Confidential Communication with the Holy Empire of Achkaerin:

At 0800 hrs the Royal Clysperi Air Force will be conducting maneuvers near the airspace of the Republic of Kopsje. These aircraft pose no threat to the Holy Empire nor any other power in the North. Should any unexpected scenarios arise the Kingdom shall inform out counterparts in the Holy Empire.

That is all.

In the name of God and the Pharaoh;

While the Achkaerinese leadership appreciates the notification of the action, we do believe that such action was ill judged and inflammatory to a situation that does not require a military response at this point. We further believe that while the intent of further actions announced may be well intended that the phrasing of such actions in how they were communicated likely leads to the opposite position. We suggest that rather than further antagonize and escalate a situation that the Pharaoh consider, as she did when rebels threatened her nation, taking the leap of faith and consulting with us on all the possibilities and help us avoid placing more people at risk rather than taking action to intimidate Kopsje that will likely have no effect. Contrast that with the one Achkaerinese measure implemented not by the Government but by the leadership of the Namist faith, an action that by the letter complies with the Kopsje law but in terms of intent circumvents it.

We are further disappointed that no notice of these proposed joint military exercises between Clysperis and Tamora (and now seemingly Heyra) was given to us, the Pharaoh will be aware the concern and objection shown by the Achkaerinese Government at the prospect of a single Fleur military vessel being in the Northern Ocean and I'm sure she is familiar that such an action even if it occurred would see a proportional response from Achkaerin, therefore I'm sure she can imagine what the response to the announcement of military exercises, especially considering the climate in which they are to be carried out, is going to bring. We suggest the exercises either be postponed until the Kopsje situation is less of a powder keg or that they be relocated away from the area.

Once more we urge the Pharaoh to consider working in a more joined up manner with us on this rather than going down a path that has a strong probability of getting to a stand off that will be detrimental for everyone involved, this does not need to end with a military confrontation so let's not narrow the options so quickly or rashly.

Be advised that upon the recommendation of the Combined Intelligence Conference (CIC), the Achkaerinese Government has ordered the raising of the terror threat level to red, meaning we believe a terrorist attack is imminent. Our intelligence on this does not indicate a target or perpetrator yet but based on our intelligence the threat is real, we advise that we are taking appropriate precautions and we recommend you do the same should the target turn out to be something like the Achkaerinese embassy in your nation.

OOC: This takes place after the ball.


Emperor Peter,

Noting times in the past where the Kingdom did not communicate our actions and the issues that caused in the region I'm informing you of Clysperi operations in Midaranye.

It has become increasingly clear that King Heydar has engaged in a campaign to undermine both myself and the Kingdom of Clysperis at every opportunity he sees. Given the way in which he portrayed me as an enemy of Cultists, his actions which have brought international forces to the Gulf of Auraxis following his theft of an Iwi gas tanker, amongst other actions I have deemed him to be a threat to the Kingdom. As I write this Clysperi forces are preparing cyber operations against Royal Seleucid as well as kill options against King Heydar.

These are not decisions I take lightly, and I know the gravity such words carry with them. If you have any advice, that would be appreciated too.

Pharaoh Akasha

One of the things I most enjoyed when I hosted your father those years ago was on an afternoon when we swapped what might be called folk tales, myths or legends. I don't quite recall the business we were supposed to be discussing that day but we just talked about these stories. Of particular interest to him was an old Achkaerinese legend, that says "The Empire will not fall as long as the brave raven watches over the fox." to him this was surprising, Achkaerin the new world, the more modern world still being somewhat superstitious like that? The stories I liked discussing from your culture were of the Sphinx's and the riddles they posed for travelers, the secrets they protected.

Your relationship with Heydar, such as it is, reminds me of the story of Percival and Hermione, legends say they were travelers who arrived separately in the great city of Mara, they both found work, in fact they found the same work - hunting and slaying the beasts that threatened the city, they were friends until Percival's greed led to a rift between them so damaging was the rift that Hermione, after many pleas to Percival, left Mara. About a month later a Chimaera threatened the city, burning down farms and poisoning the populace. Percival faced the creature and was no match until he was joined by Hermione who had returned upon hearing news of the creature. Despite their disagreements they were there for each other when it mattered. This story is a particular favourite of my daughter's and she's recently likened it to Achkaerinese-Clysperi relations, I think perhaps you should consider the moral of this story in relation to your relationship with Heydar before anything rash occur.

Emperor Peter,

My father would often speak of the rising of Sirius, the significance of the occasion is woven throughout Clysperi culture and is a date I make certain to keep. For those who haven't experienced it the best time is usually during dusk, as the sky transitions from blue to black, I'm reminded of many fond memories with my father.

I am still weighing many options in regards to King Heydar. His pride and stubbornness seem to rival those of the Saisei Empress, if that is even possible to conceive. He has very much painted a target upon me and my Kingdom, so it is only natural that I should develop the means to ensure not only that Clysperis remains safe, but that I do also. The fact that he could solve this so easily and had many opportunities to do so, well, I'd rather not be unprepared.

I will consider things and keep an open mind as things develop.

I must admit that I continue to grow irritated by those within our region, especially those outside though, who seem interested in trying to persuade me one way or the other. I am the Pharaoh of Clysperis, I am the leader of my People and I've got to make decisions that guide my Kingdom in the direction that is best for them. Not the Tamorans, not the Seleucid, not the Heyrans, none of them. The Heyrans apparently believe that my distancing from Djerb is akin to the Kingdom surrendering its sovereignty, that we'll be open to imperialists (read: Achkaerinese) while opening our People to harm.

I am convinced that the path Clysperis finds itself upon is the correct one. I have not, nor will I, blink as foreign powers try to convince me that Clysperis must acquiesce to Djerb. Those days are over, Clysperis will speak for Clysperis, and some had better get used to that notion quickly.

Pharaoh Akasha

I would like to urge you to be a little clearer when it comes to what you say in public, especially in high profile speeches such as the one you recently gave before the Samantran Duma, you stated "The difference before us is strong, and offers a different narrative than that which we've seen from the global elite: they disagree with you and levy sanctions and other measures in response. Clysperis disagrees with you? We accept it and move on, we move on to areas where we can find agreement, we move on to issues where we can find some manner of consensus, we see that we have differing views and we don't declare war on each other", a well meaning statement I have no doubt but one that on the first reading of it would call into question commitments you've recently made - when you say you accept differences and move on that seems to imply you're prepared to overlook for example slavery, servitude and terrorism as all can be classed as differences between Clysperis and other nations. While I don't doubt your commitment to the fights against slavery and terrorism there are plenty who will look at these words and draw that conclusion and we both know that as leaders we are judged both by our words as much as our actions. I would also remind you that with perhaps one glaring exception on the part of the former Rokkenjiman Empress (who was of ill mental health at the time) and Fleur's typical measures against Monarchy's I'm yet to see any unprincipled sanctions leveled against any nation by any nation. I hope you can understand this concern.

Had I known you were visiting Samantra I would have communicated this sooner, however I now inform you that due to events observed by Achkaerinese intelligence agents at the World Fair Ball in Revana, which I understand you attended, we now regard Samantra as a state sponsor of terrorism and we will make our information available as needed.

Signed

I feel there are things you know about Samantra which I am not privy to. If there is information which may allow me to make a more informed decision moving forward trust that my sources will not be revealed, and I shall act only upon the information in moving forward in my dealings with the Samantrans. What ties do the Samantrans hold to slavery, servitude or terrorism?

Sobeknakht has made his intentions clear: unlike the other Southern Nomarchs he has declined an honourable end to his time as a Nomarch. At present his forces have surrounded the Nemphis Nuclear Power Station with the intent of gaining control of it and, at present, are engaging in operations to sever power lines which provide power to keep the reactors in a safe state until their dismantlement by the Kingdom of East Moreland. My forces are actively engaging them, however, I am certain you can appreciate the potential for disaster which presently exists. I fear I may have to call for more direct support, including covert operations to remove this threat, so that we may evade a catastrophic event.

As you will recall when I travelled to your Kingdom we talked of many things the Nemphis Power Station being one of them. Following conversations held in the background between Intef and my Defence Advisor part of what we agreed that historic day included a provision for Achkaerinese personnel to provide a security orientated presence on site. Major Locksley, who presently commands that presence has assessed the threat as significant however he believes it likely that Sobeknakht's attempt to seize control of the facility through force of arms will fail, he believes a siege to be more probable though that does carry risk for Sobeknakht. Our main concern is what Sobeknakht may do once it becomes apparent that he will not gain control of the facility.

With your permission I will order the stationing of a Sparrowhawk aircraft along with some Raptorwing fighters to Clysperis. You can be assured that this situation is being monitored closely and we will adjust our approach as needed.

Consider permission granted. I have left instruction for the Royal Armed Forces to liaise with your own military command to bring this situation to a safe and swift resolution.

I have been informed that I have this one wrong, and I have it on good faith that such a statement would not be made publicly if there was information which the Holy Empire has on this issue.

In short, you have my attention.

I am dispatching shipments of aid to Kalasin, some of which are via tankers and will be accompanied by an escort of the Royal Clysperi Navy. Our naval vessels will stop at the extent of Kalasin's territorial waters and will await the unloading of the tankers before escorting them back to Clysperi waters.

I remain concerned that election results have not been verified by a party which has not taken part in military operations in Kalasin, and look to you to reassure those concerns as well as joining me in a push for a cross-Aranye association to ensure that incursions by foreign powers to our continent are not necessary in the future.

Please relay my best to Peter as he continues his recovery.
