Our nation is open to discussions on investments from a wide range of businesses. It must be made clear however that our nation is blessed with wonderous landscapes and our nations largest faith Marisism believes that Sylvana, the Goddess of the Trees and Plants, must be respected. As a result we have taken care to ensure that operations have minimal environmental impact and safe environmental practices are routine. As such I am not sure from the tone of your communication as to whether we would be a suitable partner as it would appear at first reading as though you wish for investments in places perhaps best described as having less legislation on such matters. If you wish to discuss further mtatter then you are of course welcome to do so.

Best Regards
Guilheme da Polaza
Minister of Trade Affairs.

To: Her Highness Crown Princess Serenity

While we are pleased that you do not tolerate slavery I think I must explain a difference between us. Our actions against the Kaqam Tribe are not solely anti-slavery. The Kaqam Tribe also destroy the cultures of other tribes, practice child abuse and utilise child soldiers. As such our actions against them are as much to protect the civilisations, cultures and populations of other tribes as it is slavery. While this difference might seem minor it is likely that we share common knowledge. As such you are more than welcome to visit however a visit to the Forest School would not be wise for a visit to the Forest School at this time. We could however take you to the Bahia Intergration Campus, this is a place many of those who pass through the Forest School go to if they are over the age of 16 when they are liberated.

If this is still of interest we look forward to welcoming you.

Emperor Antionio III

CLYSPERIES SPEAK IN FAVOUR OF HEARTBREAK

Pharoah Akasha of Clysperies has today used social media to invoke support for the Kaqam tribes criminal activity. In her tweet she stated she will "Not condemn" the group for producing drugs while calling the Empire "Oppressors" while then giving the Kaqam King a virtual invite by stating her "lines are open." The fact that the Pharoah is also attempting to manipulate the world's largest oil and gas exporters into isolating the Empire shows she is bent on attempting to economically damage the Empire on behalf of the Kaqam rebels. Emperor Antionio III spoke about the Clysperis announcement while visiting a centre in Rehoyas where those rescued from the Kaqam are supported. The Forest School project is built just 10km from the the northern edge of the tribes self claimed territory. It is currently home to some 120 survivors and 20 support staff ranging from psychological councillors to doctors and teachers. Speaking to the staff the Emperor said "The work you do is phenomenal. These people have been snatched from their own tribes and made to be the labour force or sexual partners of members of the Kaqam heirachy. Lets not forget the Kaqam have a ritual where they demand that any male wishing to marry a Princess must bring their King a severed hand taken from someone not of their tribe, then at the end of their ritual a man is sacrificed. The Kaqam raid several times a year their neighbours villages leaving them in fear of their lives. During these raids those men capable of work are taken back to the Kaqam's homelands while the women not considered attractive are murdered. Those women allowed to live are raped and sold to their King. The fact the staff take some of the worst treated humans on the planet and give them such love and care is astonishing. To have a foreign monarch support the Kaqam in their endeavours is shocking to me."

Not all of those living at the Forest School though are from other tribes. Kalise is a 20 year old who was found living on her own in the forest. Her story is one of heart-break. At the age of 16 she was selected by King King Calfuray IX as his Sky Queen. Each year the King may pick any unmarried woman from the tribe to be his Sky Queen. Within that year she is the most senior female of the tribe. Kalise says "At first you are proud to be picked. The fact you get a chance to honour the Gods and help the tribe makes you happy. Within weeks though it is clear you exist just to appease his desires. We existed just to produce children. I was unable to and I'm glad as the King was not a nice husband. When the anniversary of becoming Sky Queen came about and I was not with child I was stripped and without any posessions exiled from our land in disgrace. Should I be seen on tribal land for any reason I will be beheaded. I will never see my family again, we are so indoctrinated for the Gods that even they are ashamed of me. During my time as Sky Queen the King took at least four slave girls into his hareem. The villages all had slaves and they lived a miserable experience." Kalise is now studying at school and has regular meetings with a councillor. She is hoping one day to become a teacher at the school.

Having heard her story Empress Valantina said. "Kalise is a very brave young woman who has had to experience more in her short life than anyone ever should. Our actions are designed to halt these practices that are confined to past, more harsher times. The Pharoah of Clysperis has in the past ended slavery in her own nation and even used facilities that had been designed for the Mundus Games to host freed slaves. What the Forest School does is not much different. Our own nation outlawed slavery well over a hundred years ago. We sadly unlike the Pharoah have not been able to wipe it out because we have a physical foe to fight intent on keeping what the Pharoah has called an act "incompatible with Ma'at" from spreading. While the Pharoah's word is law in her land we still have armed elements denying the laws of this land. While our men and women are sacrificing their lives to end this in our country the Pharoah is attempting to make it harder for us by imposing forms of economic sanctions on us while encouraging the illicit drug trade which gives the Kaqam money to carry out their raids."

The most recent government estimates are that the Kaqam tribe have around 1,200 slaves in their villages. The most recent raid freed six who are now being cared for at the Forest School. The Imperial Family have committed to continuing the fight to end slavery and pledged more funding for the Forest School and other centres like it.

NATIVE CRUELTY DEMONSTRATED AFTER DRUGS RAID

It has long been documented that Kaqam Native tribes have funded their rebellious attacks on Imperial territory by producing a wide variety of drugs in their jungle clearing. With supplies of cannabis, cocaine and heroin making their ways over the border to Kermah and Abertone the Emperor has made it a priority for the Police Special Operations Force (PSOF) to tackle the problem. Using a variety of methods ranging from crop spraying with herbicides to armed raids the brave men and women of PSOF have made significant reductions in smuggling. Today however the reality of the neferious trade was realised when members of the PSOF, acting on intelligence from aerial reconnessance, conducted a dawn raid on a small village. While the PSOF team initially entered with warrants and  using a variety of non-lethal weapons they were soon drawing fire from Kaqam criminals. As a result PSOF were left with no choice other than to respond in kind. A running battle took place lasting around an hour. At the conclusion of the fighting the bodies of 17 Kaqam Natives were discovered as well as 16 criminals requiring medical attention. Sadly six PSOF members lost their lives. A sizeable amount of drugs were recovered estimated to be in the region of $10million if it had reached the streets. The PSOF also demolished two facilities used to manufacture a variety of drugs.

As the village was searched it became clear that not only was the village being used to grow and manufacture drugs but it was also being used to train Kaqam terrorists. A heart-breaking variety of evidence of women and children being recruited as soldiers were discovered including disturbing family photos showing children as young as six posing with automatic weapons. Commander Artunes entered the village as part of the processing team and said, "I have a deep sadness for the men and women who went into to village. Not only did they lose six of their comrades but they will live in the knowledge that more of them would have died had it not been for their skill at arms. Sadly on this occasion our forces had no choice but to fire at women and children who were indoctrinated into a life of crime. While they have done their duty many will need time to adjust to the horrors they have seen today and we shall do all we can to help them. As ever we are thankful that dedicated police serve the Empire in such trying times."

It is understood that Emperor Antionio III has spoken to the families of the PSOF members who were killed and has vowed that "the Empire will ensure that those families effected by todays wickedness are looked after. The PSOF have today saved countless lives and not just within the Empire. Those whose lives are ruined by these filthy drugs in Kermah and in Abertone will today owe a debt of thanks to these officers." There are calls for action to be taken in future that do not put PSOF lives in danger. Many are calling for the Air Force to do more to utilise airborne weapon systems to destroy farms, facilities and distribution networks.

IMPERIALS PACK PRINCE OFF TO UNIVERSITY

It has been a momentous day for the De la Rosa family as today Prince Herminio has enrolled at the Universidad de Ciencia y Tecnología in Ciudad de la Mar. The 22 year old Prince elected to serve two years in the National Pioneers, a body dedicated to aiding in schemes designed to improve the environment and provide support to communities. During his two years he has helped protect ancient terreaced farms, cleaned up rivers and last summer was part of the fire fighting efforts in the woodlands close to the capital. Prince Herminio became a qualified fire fighter during his time of service and received two commendations for his work during the fire-fighting efforts. The Prince was dropped off at the University by his parents and will be living on campus in an accommodation block with ten other first year students and several security agents. The Prince is enrolled on a course to study Emergency Management. Emperor Antionio III mingled with parents of other students within the accomodation and said, "It is important Herminio experiences an education system that does three things. First he must gain a quality education, I think his course sounds interesting and will give him skills and knowledge to help him when he enters Imperial Service. The second thing is that as his new colleagues will be regular citizens of the Empire he will gain an insight into the lives of people he will one day be Emperor of. The third thing is I want him to have fun. University is supposed to be a great experience and he should have that chance to play sport, socialise, make new friends." The course will last four years with his third year being spent working in the industry. It is tradition that Imperial family members who wish to attend University do so after they have performed some service for the nation. Some opting for military service while others doing work in the National Pioneers or similar bodies. Prince Herminio has stated his desire to row for the University as well as joining the choir. The Prince also went on the record to say that he hopes once he graduates to join the Emergency Rescue Service as either a fire-fighter or in some other capacity, this would make him the first member of the Imperial Family to do so outside the National Pioneers.

The Emperors second son, Hector is in his first year working as a guide at the National Memorial to the Fallen. There he is maintaining the graves of members of the armed forces who have died since 1801 and also showing tour groups round the various monuments that make up the parkland that surrounds the memorials. Prince Hector will do this for another 12 months and it is then expected that he will follow in his brothers footsteps and go to University where he has spoken of an interest in studying History. Meanwhile Princess Eliana will this summer sit her 16+ exams which will determine her future. The Princess is currently described as a "dedicated academic" and has applied for some courses to study her National Certificates of Education and then join the nations Navy.

MARISISM

The largest religion in the Empire is Marisism. It has a pantheon of Gods, many associated with the sea. Maris is the chief diety. The faithful believe In the beginning, there was only chaos and darkness. But from the void emerged Maris, the mighty God of the Oceans. With a mighty roar, he stirred the waters of the great abyss and brought forth light and life. From the depths of the sea, he created the first creatures of the world, and from the waves he formed the lands and the sky.

As the guardian and ruler of the oceans, Maris was all-powerful and all-knowing. He could control the tides and the winds, and could calm or stir the waters as he saw fit. His voice was like the roar of the sea, and his wrath was like a storm. But Maris was also a kind and benevolent deity, and he loved all the creatures of the sea. He watched over them and protected them, and he provided for those who lived and worked on or near the sea.

And so Maris became the most powerful and respected God in the pantheon, revered by all who lived and worked on or near the sea. His power and majesty were unmatched, and all who lived on the earth owed their existence to him. And so it has been from that time until now, as Maris remains the mighty God of the Oceans, ruling over the sea and all who dwell within this world. He is often shown having a human upper half and an octopus as a bottom half.



Oceana was a beautiful and powerful goddess, revered by all who knew her. She was the wife of Maris She was the mighty goddess of the skies, and the mother of the other gods in the pantheon. Oceana was known for her wisdom and her kindness, and was loved by all who knew her. She was also a skilled healer and a wise counsellor, and was often sought out for her advice and her healing touch.

As the goddess of life and fertility, Oceana was deeply connected to the natural world and had the power to bring new life into being. She was also able to communicate with the spirits of the earth and the sky, and was able to call upon their power in times of need. Despite her divine status, Oceana lived among mortals and was greatly admired and respected by all who knew her.

He was also able to communicate with the spirits of the night and was able to call upon their power in times of need. Despite his divine status, Nocturnus lived among mortals and was greatly admired and respected by all who knew him. He used his powers and his wisdom to protect the people and the earth, and was greatly loved and revered by all who lived on the earth.

One day, a great disaster struck the land. A horde of monstrous beasts emerged from the shadows, intent on destroying the people and the earth. The people were afraid, but Nocturnus was not afraid. He knew that it was his duty to protect the people and the earth, and so he called upon the power of the night to defeat the beasts.

 Nocturnus summoned the shadows to his side, and together they fought the beasts. The shadows enveloped the monsters, blinding them and choking them, and the people were safe once again. The people praised Nocturnus for his bravery and his wisdom, and from that day on, he was known as the protector of the people and the earth, and was greatly loved and revered by all who lived on the earth.



Sylvana is the Goddess of the Trees and plants. She is the daughter of Maris and Oceana. She has the power to control all plantlife on Mundus. Sylvana is able to touch a sick or injured plant and restore it to health with a gentle touch of her hand. She is able to sense when a plant is in need of help, and is able to use her divine powers to heal it.Sylvana is able to control the growth and the health of all plants. She is able to make a plant grow faster or slower, and is able to control its size and shape. She is also able to make a plant bear fruit or flowers, or to wither and die, depending on her will. She is is able to communicate with the spirits of the earth and the plants, and is able to call upon them for help or guidance. She is able to sense when the spirits are happy or unhappy, and is able to use her powers to bring them joy or peace.



Kael is the God of War. He is the son of Sylvana and Nocturnus and twin sister of Nyla. Kael was a powerful and majestic god, with a strong and muscular build and piercing green eyes. He had long, flowing black hair, which he wore loose and wild, and he was often seen wearing armor of gold and silver, with a sword at his side.

As the god of war, Kael had many powers and abilities. He was able to control the winds and the storms, and was able to create weapons of fire and lightning. He was also able to transform into a powerful beast, with claws and teeth as sharp as knives, and was able to crush his enemies with ease. Kael was also a skilled fighter, with a sword that could cut through anything, and he was able to defeat any enemy that stood in his way.

Asher lived a long and happy life, and he did many great things. He fought against evil and injustice, and he protected the innocent and the weak. He also helped to bring peace and prosperity to the celestial plane, and he was admired and revered by all. But despite his many accomplishments, Asher's life was not meant to last. One day, he was confronted by a powerful and evil demon, who sought to destroy him and conquer the celestial plane. Asher fought bravely against the demon, but he was no match for its strength and its power.Asher knew that he was doomed, and he prepared to meet his fate. But as he faced the demon, he was visited by Maris, who offered him a choice. The god told Asher that he could join him in the celestial plane, and become a powerful and respected god. Or he could stay on earth, and continue to fight against evil and injustice.

Asher knew that he could not turn down the offer, and he accepted Maris' offer. He joined the celestial plane, and became the gatekeeper of heaven, where he guarded the gates and welcomed the souls of the righteous. And as the gatekeeper of heaven, Asher became one of the most powerful and respected gods in the celestial plane, and he continued to protect the innocent and the weak, even in death.



Luna is the daughter of a mortal man and Sylvana. She was beautifl with long, flowing silver hair that shone like the moon's rays. She had delicate features, with a small, upturned nose, full pink lips, and high cheekbones that gave her an ethereal quality. Luna's skin was pale and flawless, like fine porcelain, and her eyes were a bright, piercing blue. Despite her delicate appearance, Luna was tall and slender, with a lithe and agile body that belied her strength and power. She moved with the grace of a dancer, and her every gesture was full of poise and elegance. Luna was always impeccably dressed, with flowing garments that shimmered and shone like the stars.

She had the power to cure all illness and injures with a kiss and humans considered her kind and compassionate. When conflicts broke out she would journey to the place and save as many people as she could if she believed they were deserving of a second chance One day, she was betrayed by a fellow god, who coveted her powers and popularity with humanity as result they sought to destroy her. Luna fought bravely against the traitorous god aided by a group of human soldiers, but they were no match for his strength and his cunning.
As Luna lay dying, she was visited by Maris. The god told Luna that she could join him in the celestial plane, and become a powerful and respected goddess in her own right. Or she could stay on Mundus and continue her work.

Luna knew that she could not turn down the offer, and she accepted the god's offer. But before she joined the celestial plane, Luna made a deal with the great god. They haggled and agreed that she would trade her eyesight for a special gift that would allow her to protect the innocent and the weak, even in death. The great god gave her the power to see into the hearts and minds of all creatures. With this new power, Luna joined the celestial plane, and became the gatekeeper of hell, where she guarded the gates and kept the souls of the wicked locked away. It is believed that when we die we all are taken to hell and Luna uses her power to prevent the innocent from entering the gates.

NATIVES OF THE EMPIRE


A typical native village

There are many different tribes that live in forested areas that dominate the south of the nation. These tribes once covered the majority of Bahia however settlers pushed them further and further south. This has lead to conflict as some of the tribes that began in the North took land from those in the South. Many of these tribes have not changed their ways of life in the last 800 years or so and live largely agricultural lives.

The largest tribe is the Kaqam people. They are not well liked by the other tribes.

THE KAQAM TRIBE

Originally from the North East the tribe pushed south as the Bahians arrived. They are ruled by a King of their own. They are considered rather warlike by the other tribes. They have approximatley 120,000 members according to estimates. They have a culture based around appeasing the gods of the weather. They do this by carrying out sacrifices, which still occasionally have included human ones in the form of criminals during dire situations. They also believe that the King and his family are a reflection of these Gods. If the royals are not cared for then the weather Gods will not favour the tribe.

There are several rituals that some other tribes and the outside world consider barbaric.

* Each year the King takes a new Queen. This Queen is called the Sky Queen. He may select any unmarried woman from the tribe. She remains Sky Queen for 12 months. If at the end of those 12 months she has either given birth to a child or is pregnant she is considered favoured by the Gods and while giving up her title she remains a wife of the King and is treated as a Queen. Such a Queen takes a new title attached to some other form in nature. Any Sky Queen that has not fulfilled these things is exiled from the tribes land. Should she ever return she is behead.

* When a Princess become of an age to be married an open invitation is made for a suitor. Any male member of the tribe may attend the invite. Over the next three days a series of challenges are set. The first involves bringing back a poisionius snakes skin. The second involves bringing back feather the colour of which is selected that day by the King. Finally the would be husbands must bring back a severed human hand if it is discovered this hand has come from anyone within the tribe the suitor is executed along with his parents. The final selection takes place on the 4th day. If less than 10 suitors have completed all the challenges they all qualify, if more than 10 have then the Princess may select the final 10. On the 4th day the ten suitors form a large circle around a kind of stake. A criminal is selected and tied to the stake by a length of rope. He is then speared in the neck and wherever his body lands determines the successful suitor, the person closest being declared the winner.

*The tribe still practice slavery. They regularly raid other tribes for resources and to maintain their own territory. They take working age men to work for their tribe while they kill all females except those considered beautiful. Those conducting the raid may trade the male slaves however they wish however the King must be given first refusal of the female ones.  While slavery is still practiced it is estimated less than 1,000 exist within the tribe.

The current King of the tribe is King Calfuray IX. He has been in charge of the tribe since 2011.

                   Imperio de la Bahia del Norte

The Empire is a divided entity in many ways. This is largely because of the form its creation took. In the year 856AD traders from ? ? ? ? ? arrived in the region and found a dense forested area. This area was home to many diverse tribes who resided in the forest in small settlements formed in clearings they had made. The traders made a beach-head in what has today become the capital city of Ciudad de la Mar. This small wooden fort became a vital trade port with both the homeland and neighbours. The population swelled and in 980 AD they began opening up other coastal settlements leaving the forest to the natives who by now had a uneasy acceptance of the new arrivals.

The history of the Empire first see's the name Bahia del Norte in 1208 when Emperor Orion the Great declared the land separate from their ancestral homeland and by creating an uneasy alliance with the natives repelled several rebellions and invasions. Once Orion though had seen off these threats he turned on his native friends. In the coming years a religious and physical battle took place to push the natives inland.

Today the natives still live in the forest in areas similar to reservations. There they are left to their own devices and the Empire try and have very little to do with them. They are considered somewhat "uncivilised" still but Bahian's believe they should be left alone more as trying to do anything to integrate them carries a huge economic burden.

Ignoring the native element of the nation the Empire consists of four nations, each ruled by a different member of the Imperial Family.
