STATEMENT REGARDING ROKKENJIMA'S WITHDRAWAL FROM THE TRIPARTITE

The Kingdom of East Moreland is saddened that Rokkenjima have seen fit in one fell swoop to dismantle a treaty binding three nations together. While East Moreland and Rokkenjima have in recent months had many issues we had begun to work through these while Evanthe Rhodes was Empress. This has seen a variety of discussions that have taken place and East Moreland operations supporting Rokkenjiman intelligence aims. This therefore leaves us slightly dismayed at accusations that our nation has acted in a manner described as "open hostility and disrespect East Moreland has shown the First Empire" . While it would be true to say our trust in Empress Beatrice has been tarnished we have never stopped trusting the people of Rokkenjima. Our nations diplomatic doors remain open and we hope the Rokkenjimans remain true to the spirit of what established the original Tripartite in regards to maintaining minimal forces in the Illumic. There is unprecedented regional co-operation in the Illumic region after the formation of a solid Alba Karinya Organisation and these nations are more than capable of policing these waters, added to that the glorious return of Seaforth, a nation we shall always count as an ally it is our hope they too will join with us in helping ensure the safety of our home waters. 

Our nation is further dismayed that this dissolution happened with no warning, in the past we have seen Rokkenjima take several actions against the spirit of the Tripartite by making military moves without warning as determined by the agreement. Our ambassadors we're given no warning of this cancellation and had hoped for better communication. We have therefore had no chance to discuss this cancellation with Dartfordia, meaning that our two nations now share no formal bond. This is something that our nation would like to put right and therefore plan to formally offer Dartfordia continuation of the terms of the Tripartite between our nation.

Furthermore we shall be suspending with immediate effect our intelligence operation in aid of supporting Rokkenjima as it is clear our support is no longer required.

Five minutes ago East Moreland's Instiute for Maritime Studies at Portworth detected an underwater earthquake some 350km east of the islands known as Barnacle / Nurashima. Research bouys in the area indicate that a tsunami event is likely to the west of this. We are therefore issuing an immediate warning for North West Ardia, South East Alba Karinya and the islands themselves. It is likely that the tsunami, which we can not yet predict the size of, will make landfall in the islands inside of the next hour, while some two to three hours later it may, depending on size hit land in Alba Karinya or Ardia.

As a result of this the CNN have agreed to cancel the rapid deployment exercise and have instead placed the fleets converging on the area on standby for aid operations.

STATEMENT REGARDING OPERATIONS FOLLOWING THE MHORISH TSUNAMI AND SOVEREIGNTY

Following the issuing of a statement by Rokkenjima, His Majesty King David wishes it to be known that the Kingdom of East Moreland still recognises shared sovereignty over the group of islands. Furthermore as the nation that responded first and has the greatest amount of non-native manpower on the islands we believe the following should be known.

1. There remains, located at their previous positions, forces of Himeyaman Marines who have been conducting their own aid operations.

2. These Marines are in places working with East Moreland forces to bring aid to those impacted.

3. A significant number of Himeyaman civilians are still on the islands.

4. The Marines have issued instructions for Heyran forces to stay out of these disputed zones. This has resulted in short exchanges of fire which have now ceased.

It is therefore still the case that these islands are disputed. As East Moreland believes that it is the right of the people there to determine their own future it appals me that a nation with no manpower on the ground is able to make decisions such as effectively handing over sovereignty. Such rash actions, taken by a nation with no natural interest in the Mhorish, is only likely to inflame a situation which is delicately poised. East Moreland once again reaffirms its belief that decisions about the future of the islands be taken by those who live there. However to make such a decision at a time when people's lives are still in danger is reckless and frankly opportunist.

Following revelations that Rokkenjima were discussing establishing a carrier fleet closer to East Moreland than QAMB,  while we were, in good faith, negotiating a renewed friendship between ourselves His Majesty King David now seeks assurances that Rokkenjima are not acting outside the spirit of those talks.

We permitted Princess Adriana to visit in an appointed capacity as a gesture to a Princess of Dartfordia. Along with Mr.Cole and Princess Freya a fair and open treaty was suggested yet we now understand the Empress was holding parralel talks with Heyra to circumvent the spirit of this treaty. This in our eyes explains the dragging of feet.

Once more we find ourselves requiring honest confirmation of Rokkenjiman intentions .

It has been confirmed today that a bone marrow donor for Princess Rhiannon has been discovered. The discovery comes following the submission to testing of the Cole family from Rokkenjima. No more details will be released in the interest of patient confidentialiy and in light of recent media disrespect for the treatment of a six year old.

LAKHZOVIAN LINK TO TERRORISM

6 Hours ago a group of three refugees at the Hunter's Vale Support Centre were arrested on connection with terrorism charges. The three men who were airlifted out of Lakhzovia by East Moreland and Ui Cenneslaig forces are all aged 18, therefore were evacuated as minors. A routine patrol of the former military base using dogs indicated a prescence of explosive materials and a more detailed search discovered clothing impregnated with the chemical Methyl nitrate which is a liquid explosive discovered in the defused bombs in the Northfort train stations. CCTV footage has placed the three men at the train station on the evening before the discovery. They were taken under armed guard to Ostlake where the nations Intelligence Services will be interviewing them prior to formal charges being levelled.

The discovery is more shocking following the leak of an e-mail indicating that certain members of the Lakhzovian Government had prior knowledge of potential attacks. Our Intelligence Services are attempting to confirm or refute the validity of this e-mail. Once this has been established we will be seeking a meeting between our government and the Lakhzovians.

Should these men in custody be charged with terror offences the nations Criminal Prosection Service would be calling for them to face the same penalties as a Borlander.

Upon hearing the tragic news of the death of Prince Isaac the Kingdom of East Moreland wishes to send its condolences to his family and the people of both nations he represented. Prince Isaac was a young man who was well respected by the East Moreland royal family and his death a waste of a promising future. We do not yet know who carried out these attacks, their motivations or there aims but rest assured the people of East Moreland will stand, as ever, shoulder to shoulder with the people of Achkaerin to ensure terrorists of whatever guise do not profit from their criminality. Should the government of Achkaerin believe their is any support the Kingdom of East Moreland can offer then we shall do all that is within our power to offer it.

Following REMMS Kyne being used during operations to give aid to Tytor following their recent terrorist attacks it is now necessary for the pre-positioning ship to restock. As such it will depart Tytor and head towards The Commonwealth of the Iwi where it shall meet up with REMNS King Robert and take onboard new supplies of ration packs, bottled water, medical supplies and blood products. The ship will then be making its way back into the Kyne and if needed will be able to respond to various crisis in the region.

The Global Pre-Positioning ship system is a crucial part of the East Moreland response to incidents across Mundus and we appreciate the continued support of willing partners and allies in order to ensure the continued success of this system.

Moments ago the Armed Forces of East Moreland, with the prior approval of Dartfordia, conducted Operation Pixie Dust successfully. This operation saw the sea platform known as SeaTowers[1] removed from the control of the Borland Seperatist movement, an organisation well regarded as terrorists. All care was taken to avoid the forecasted environmental disaster an operation against this target carried and we are pleased to confirm that no damage was caused. The operation saw a total of nine Borlanders neutralised and no casualties among the East Moreland forces. Military forces from East Moreland will spend the next 24 hours ensuring that the platform is safe before handing it over to Dartfordian authorities who shall determine its fate having at one time been its legal and official owners.

His Majesty wishes to place on record his thanks to Prime Minister Cleaver and the people of Dartfordia for their permission to carry out this operation. They have seen their citizens targeted in the past by the Borlanders and know only too well the evils of this terrorist group.

We shall strike against threats to East Moreland wherever we found them. The required complexity of this operation and the geographical distance from our homeland should indicate to terrorist of any kind that threaten our citizens and our friends that we shall not rest from bringing them to justice. His Majesty once more gives his thanks and admiration to those who serve in the Armed Forces of East Moreland. More details shall follow through usual press channels.

Following reports of a proposed Uppsala Convention investigation and criticism from several other countries the Ministry of Defence have released the following.

1. Operation Pixie Dust does not violate the Uppsala Convention. The Borlanders are recognised internationally as a terrorist organisation and therefore are owed no specific duty through this document. Furthermore East Moreland troops abided completely with the document. The article reading "Members of the Armed Forces injured in combat are to be afforded medical care regardless of nationality as long as doing so does not place others in danger." is perhaps the only one which may apply to the situation and as it is well recorded that wounded Borlanders have used their final moments to arm grenades intended to kill or injure East Moreland troops they are still deemed a threat.

2. The agent utilised in a pre-assault operation was Carfentanil. This agent was widely used in zoo's until 2003 as a tranquiliser. Additionally it is still used today as a selective radiotracer in animal and human positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The dose was 0.5 mg.

3. Potential violations of the use of chemical weapons is misleading. Carfentanil has a lethal dosage of around 1mg, that used by East Moreland forces was much smaller. Additionally the convention defines a Chemical Weapon as  "any weapons that use a chemical agent intended to cause permanent damage or death to an individual." The drug was used in an attempt to stop a Borlander triggering an ecological act of terrorism during the assault and as such was not used as a weapon to kill.

4. The Dartfordians were briefed as to the operation prior to it taking place. The fact that a fellow Uppsala Convention signature nation permitted the operation to take place should reassure the world of our compliance with the Convention.

STATEMENT REGARDING OPERATIONS IN THE MHORISH

Following a recent statement from the Tamoran government The Kingdom of East Moreland wishes to clarify the situation. At present Her Highness Princess Freya is in direct communication with the leadership of Ubriekkland to discuss the situation and to a) ensure the security of members of the Cult of Helus which has been singled out by their government for what we believe is unfair scrutiny and b) what to do regarding the refugee crisis that is likely to follow.

It is our experience that having assets capable of deploying a wide variety of assets in short order is vital. As of now there may be Cultists fleeing Ubriekland via the Mhorish and as was discovered during the Mavrosian crisis many died attempting to make this manner of escape. Therefore the prescence of two vessels with vastly flexible missions is a necessity.

As for East Moreland going back on its word Tamora is clearly referring to the fact that we had guaranteed to protect Tamora from possible attack by nuclear missiles from Slava Lavosk. It is a well known policy of East Moreland that we do not distribute military equipment to non-Uppsala signatory nations. As such because Tamora have not signed this document and no formal relationships existing between the two nations we determined that we could achieve this mission without putting equipment in Tamora directly. As such through our allies of Ui Cennesliag we ensured systems referred to as "Jekar's Shield" were positioned in Royal Seleucid's Celtic Protectorate, likewise we have Destroyers in the region which had a similar capability. These assets would have been able to detect any launch from Slava Lavosk and engage them ensuring Tamora was effectively brought under the protection of a East Moreland-Ui Cenneslaig anti-missile shield. We therefore refute Tamoras claim that we went back on our word as at no time since the deployment of these assets was Tamora unprotected from nuclear attack.

STATEMENT REGARDING OPERATIONS IN THE MHORISH

Response to the statement from Clysperis

While it has become the norm for the Pharoah to spout hatred towards East Moreland, and those with whom our nation enjoy solid friendships, it is the purpose of this office to once more address the misinformation presented in her recent statement.

1. "Shall we see the establishment of a Morelander Protectorate within the borders of the Ubrriekland Empire?"  - East Moreland has been presented through history with many oppurtunities to expand our territorial holdings overseas. When intervening in Safraen we had a road-map for our departure worked out from the beginning. As too when our nation returned to drive out the Soviet influence there we too left without even needing to be asked. It would have been extremely easy for Moreland to carve out "Protectorates" or other holdings in Academica, Mavrosia, Marseille, the former UNP or to have lent support to the West Moreland Resistance Army who called upon His Majesty King David to admit them into East Moreland. None of these oppurtunities were even considered by East Moreland so to suggest that our nation would consider establishing such a thing in a foreign land is rather ridiculous.

2. "It is clear to me that the Ubrriekland Empire is in need of assistance," - No military action has been taken against the Ubrriekland Empire. In fact while the Pharoah indicates we are taking military action we have been in constant diplomatic discussions with the government of Ubrriekland, including the fact that our Foreign Minister, Orlaith Kade, is currently in Ubrriekland speaking to that nations representatives to discuss ways forward that protect those of the non-Abrahamic faiths there as well as preparing for potential refugee issues. This has been done with respect to the requests of the Ubrriekland government who have dictated the terms of such a meeting taking place.

3. " providing resources at a reduced rate in a time which must most certainly be causing severe disruptions in the economy of the Empire, not only as a sign of our genuine interest in assisting the Empire in these times, but to help people in ensuring that economic disruptions do not only add to the situations presently facing the Empire." - East Moreland has and will continue to extend the hand of friendship to all nations in the Mhorish and Illumic. As that is a description that fits Ubrriekland they can be assured that should they a)need or b)request economic support, assistance or co-operation then East Moreland will be among the first to offer our hand in friendship.

While the Pharoah wishes to paint His Majesty King David as some kind of controlling puppet master across Mundus this is far from the truth. Once more she shows her disdain for the Cult of Helus by referring to a "Helusian Empire" something that by the very nature of our faith can not exist. King David has long stood for and support the right of nations to self-determination, as has been seen by East Moreland being used by several nations across Mundus as the witness of referendums on major issues.

The Empire of Ubrriekland know that we have been working alongside them to find diplomatic and humanitarian ways forward. We shall continue to do so despite the efforts of a woman who calls herself Sovereign of Sovereigns, thus claiming dominion over both King David and the Emperor of Ubriekkland, to derail our diplomatic talks.

Olivia Moore, International News Correspondent, Achkaerin News Service

"Following the release of information out of Lodja, Does the East Moreland Government have any comment, in particular in relation to point numbers eight and eleven that would appear to explain how East Moreland weapons ended up in the hands of the Bene Gesserit? Does the East Moreland Government believe it possible that this Legionnaire identified as Paul Abrahams assisted Lodjan parties in keeping the weapons off the books with the intent of providing them to the Bene Gesserit? What message does this send about a unit regarded as the best special forces in the world that potentially two of its member have ties to the Bene Gesserit? What action will be taken in regards to Corporal Abrahams?"

With regard to the recent release of information emanating from Lodja it is worth first stating investigations are continuing.

In regards to whether shipments of weapons being sold via Lodja to the Bene Gesserit included East Moreland manufactured weapons that is at the moment one route we are now investigating. Since the beginning of the East Moreland and Lodjain military relationship the security of firearms, regardless of nation of origin, has been highlighted as an issue however this in 2020 is no longer a concern. The regimes in Lodja have changed multiple times in the last five years and we have supreme confidence that the steps now in place will ensure that these potential historic breaches are no longer possible.

As to whether Legionnaire Paul Abrahams assited Lodjains with keeping weapons "off the books" it is policy of East Moreland to not reveal details of current or past serving members of Red Legion without their informed consent. We are confident that Kingdom is highly confident that at the conclusion of our investigation no Red Legionnaires will be connected to actions supporting the Bene Gesserit. Red Legion rightly deserves its reputation as the worlds most elite and best trained military unit and this alone is likely to make groups such as the Bene Gesserit wish to infiltrate it. In its long esteemed history there have been less than a handful of Legionnaires who have dishonoured the beret and as we have stated the current investigation will prove this data leak is not entirely accurate.

Should any Red Legionnaire, or any East Moreland citizen be found to have offered any help to the Bene Gesserit in the manner stated by the data leak then the government of East Moreland will seek to have them returned to Northfort if needed and there they will face the full extent of the law.

8. Details of shipments of Lodjain manufactured firearms being sold to the Bene Gesserit.

Voice recordings of meetings between Kozlov and a Red Legion member named as "Paul Abrahams" on how to move supplies from the military to buyers in return for a cut while at the same time avoiding it being discovered in the annual military review.

The Kingdom of East Moreland extends its condolences to the Kingdom of Cantabria after hearing of the death of King Comegin. Sadly I did not get the chance to really get to know the King well in our times upon the throne however we have seen the East Moreland and Cantabrian people become closer friends through our mutual friends Ui Cenneslaig. It is our hope that this friendship can in the future continue to grow and we will naturally do anything we can to support the Kingdom of Cantabria through this sad moment in their nations history.

May The Gods Watch Over You and Bless the Queen.

The Ministry of Defence can today announce the successful completion of operations to restore the control of the government of Heyra to its legitimate authority. Following an attempted coup from within the government the East Moreland government was contacted by representatives of the people of Heyra and having swiftly conducted talks with partners across the Mhorish and Illumic an agreed plan was put into effect. While support came from all nations in MICA it was determined that the operation stood the best chance of success if conducted quickly and spearheaded by East Moreland's Red Legion.

Within 24 hours of the meeting taking place Red Legionnaires had assumed control of the Defence and restored authority to the rightful government. There operation was supported by Bakkermayan members of the Horseman of Jekar. The Ministry of Defence is however saddened to report that there were casualties among Red Legion but the number and extent of these are classified.

His Majesty King David made the following statement.

"We have always found Alba Karinya to be a continent that has been peaceful for long periods. When threats to that peace emerge I am proud to say that we work together to ensure peace is restored in good order. In this case we have shown that we will support our neighbours in ensuring their government is a reflection of the will of the people. Tonight we will be asking our God of War, Jekar to watch over those who have been casualties among Red Legion and giving thanks for returning them safe to us. I would also like to thank our cousins from Bakkermaya for their support in the operation and while not utilised it should be noted The Diarchy of Hassfurt also was willing to utilise its military to support the course of action followed. I am therefore proud to say that MICA has stood together and ensured our region of Mundus once again is at peace, and long may this continue."

The Ministry of Defence can confirm that the Heyran government building which had been occupied has now been returned to the control of local authorities and no East Moreland assets remain on Heyran soil however at the request of the government of Heyra East Moreland aircraft, along with those from Hassfurt will be maintaining a no fly zone over the nation until further notice.

CONDOLENCES TO AOSTA


Following the announcement that His Highness Prince Lorenzo has been killed during a cowardly attack on the young Emperor Franco the Kingdom of East Moreland wishes to send our condolences to the Prince's family along with those embers of the Security Detail who died in defence of their Emperor. To have men trusted with protected the life of an Emperor, especially one so young and innocent, disgrace their oaths and turn against the person they have sworn to protect is shocking. Should our nation be able to help with any investigation connected to such incident we will be only to happy to. While the friendship between our nations is a new one that does not make our sorrow for our friends any less. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone effected by this tragedy.

CONDOLENCES TO LODJA

We are saddened to hear of the death of Queen Klara of Lodja along with several of her household in a cowardly attack. Queen Klara was an amazing young woman who demonstrated a deep love for her people. In the past few months she faced losing her son and watching her nation struggle against a turncoat hell bent on only seeking power for himself. Any man who would use his own child as a political pawn should never hold a crown.

We further pass on our well wishes to Queen Nataliya. The Queen is currently in East Moreland visiting her friend Queen Stasya and Prince Llewellyn. As such the Queen will be given full protection as befitting her station and in co-ordination with our Lodjain friends we will begin the process of helping her return home for her coronation at the earliest oppurtunity. I have reaffirmed to Her Majesty that East Moreland shall continue to stand by the rightful government of Lodja and furthermore believe that this ends Leopold's claim to any power in Lodja. This being such now is an opportunity for him to end the madness he has wrought on his homeland.

May The Gods Watch Over Queen Klara and Queen Nataliya bring peace.

King David III of East Moreland.

STATEMENT ON THE SITUATION BETWEEN KINGDOM OF EIGG AND THE FEDERATION OF DAL RAITHA AND EIGG

May I begin by stating clearly my long held stance that people within a nation should be permitted to determine what their nation should be. The constitution of East Moreland even goes so far as having a mechanism within it that will trigger a referendum on whether the nation shall remain a Kingdom or become a Republic. I am grateful that the people of East Moreland thus far have trusted me to maintain the long held system we have in East Moreland.

In regards to the people of Eigg it should be known that in February of this year I meet with Queen Aoife in Northfort and we discussed a great many things. It was clear that she wished to one day see Eigg as an independent nation. We put in place academic exchanges and youth Cadet exchanges. During these talks the Queen made it clear to me that she would need time to lay the ground work for independence. It was therefore rather a surprise when just over six months later she has instituted a referendum, one that has been done without the formal processes surrounding it. Such a headstrong move has therefore raised huge questions that so far only Zaporazah have examined. Queen Aoife issued the referendum papers, monitored the ballot, collected the ballot and counted them. Had this been any other nation we would all have taken a step back and questioned the legitimacy of the result, especially when we are aware of at least 10% of people who could vote not being able to for various reasons.

We also though recognise that recent polls and the referendum itself indicate a desire for independence sooner rather than later. The question therefore should be how can the extent of that desire be examined in a way all sides can be confident is fair. The speedy nature of this referendum lacked debate and the Federation seemingly had no chance to campaign in favour of continuing the Federation in its current form.

East Moreland has over the years been the most active nation on Mundus in terms of monitoring international elections and referendums. I therefore would like to suggest that the two parties involved appoint Alex Redfern as an impartial and independent organiser of a 2nd referendum, one that is transparent and fair in its conduct and therefore there can be no question about either its outcome or legitimacy. In the meantime we believe Queen Aoife should be released and permitted to continue her campaign towards independence for this new referendum.

May The Gods Watch Over You and Peace Be Found
King David III of East Moreland.

Following discussions with several CNN members and various nations across Mundus in the wake of the current uncertainty regarding the situation involving the Rokkenjiman armed forces the Kingdom of East Moreland shall be undertaking the following steps.

1. We have imposed a "Shelter in Place" order upon the Rokkenjiman Embassy in East Moreland until further notice.

2. We have moved the East Moreland Embassy in Rokkenjima to Bikini State Black Alpha.

3. Morelanders based in Rokkenjima are requested to leave as soon as possible and the embassy have instructions to support people doing so.

4. East Moreland forces are, following consoltations with The Iwi, mobilising in the Commonwealth of the Unified Iwi.

5. All Rokkenjiman forces are now considered a hostile threat. All East Moreland forces across Mundus have been given Rules of Engagement meaning that if they have either been fired at or have reasonable belief they are about to be fired upon that they may open engage.

6. An East Moreland naval force shall take up patrols of the Illumic designed to protect Rishiri. This shall undertake operations normally conducted by local assets. Following orders given by the Empress stating "Rokkenjiman forces to stand down from offensive actions" we will expect any Rokkenjiman vessels to return to port and any not doing so will be considered as loyal to renegade forces. I urge my fellow MICA members to support this stance.

7. With a recent history of anti-East Moreland sentiments in the Rokkenjiman public as well as the recent election giving almost half of all Rokkenjimas votes to someone clearly anti-Morelander there is clear suspicion that our Kingdom could come under attack by renegade forces. An immediate ceasation of any intelligence or asset sharing with Rokkenjima will commence.

These measures are now in effect and we hope our international partners will take similar steps. Charles Ofdensen needs to be brought to heel and we hope loyal Rokkenjimans will heed the words of Empress Shizukesa

NOTICE OF MILITARY OPERATION ON FEAST OF HELUS

On the anniversary of February 22nd in the long distance past our beloved Helus, saviour of humanity, descened to Mundus from his heavenly home and turned the tide in mankinds battle for survival against the forces of darkness known as the Underlords. This battle had seen countless millions of humans over eons sacrifice their lives in order to serve a greater good, to make the world a better and safer place for their loved ones and for all mankind. Each year therefore we celebrate Helus' victory for in truth his victory is our victory. It is ours to treasure that when called upon mere mortals such as our fore-fathers showed no hesitation and no fear to stand toe to toe with entities far more powerful than themselves and allow us to be here today. It is there sacrifice as much as Helus' power that we give thanks for, and the two are connected for without Helus guidance, prescence and love they could not have achieved all that they did. In those long millenia since we too have called upon that same guidance and love to help those of us who follow his Cult to live our lives. It lead my great ancestor King Robert the Unifier to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of this beautiful land and shake off the chains of tyranny and oppression and since then down the centuries East Moreland has done its best to live in peace with the world and with the responsibility that it is us who must ensue Helus' will is done. There has however been a stain on this land and therefore upon Mundus, that stain today however has received a killer blow. It is therefore perhaps destiny that I can on this the Feast of Helus 2024 bring to the people of East Moreland, and to the wider community of Mundus the news that the self proclaimed King of the Borlanders, Kyle Barren is dead. In the early hours of this morning, 22nd February 2024, members of our nations Armed Forces acting on intelligence gathered and verified carried out an armed operation in the Alps as a convoy in which the terrorist was travelling crossed the border from Mersch. In the attack several vehicles were targetted and in the aftermath Barren was found injured and in need of extensive medical treatment. He was however pronounced dead upon his arrival at Keepton FOB just after 5am this morning. While I would like to say this death marks the end of the Borlanders and I am expecting it shall not be and I urge Mundus to be on guard for renewed Borlander activity. I am also both delighted and relieved to say that there were no East Moreland casualties in the operation.

I believe it is fitting that on this day where we celebrate the victory of good over evil, of love over hate and of humanity over tyranny that we can offer a prayer of thanks to our nations armed forces, intelligence services and anyone else who has played a roll in eliminating this enduring threat to our nation and our people. To those who are members of the Borlander movement today presents an opportunity to you. Just as the underlords did on the day Helus descended to Mundus you can give up your violence, give up your terror, lay down arms and never trouble humanity again. Take this opportunity as we shall never cease our vigilance nor shall we restrain our vengence.  Let today serve as that moment you choose to live rather than be hunted and die.

I wish each and every Cultist around the world a safe, peaceful and joyous feast day.

May The Gods Watch Over You and Your Family Know Joy

King David III of East Moreland
