I've been asked by many why I would ever declare war upon the Reach.
There are many reasons behind the declaration, far to many to list here,
but I will explain those that affect me the greatest.
This whole situation came about with Larion using his position of power
to expel and enemy myself from the Reach for an honorable duel with
another member of the city. Shortly after we made a verbal pact of
non-agression between my sect and the Reach, such as the one I have with
Bloodloch. No more than a month later, Oceania decided to attack a
member of my sect in my presence, so I naturally did what any friend
would do, I defended him. Larion declared me an enemy for this and told
his city to kill me and my sect for "breaking" the pact.
There was much fighting of course and it seems the Reach lost many
lives, as we lost a few aswell. Larion in his desperation to hurt me
then decided to falseley accuse my fiance, Morbid, of destroying a
wormhole. Now, for those of you who don't know, Morbid was part of no
guild atthis time and unable to defend herself, nor was she a member of
my sect and had nothing to do with anything against the Reach.
Apparently Larion thought it was justified to have her killed though and
sent Exodus to do so.
No more than a month later Larion made another attempt on my fiance and
he died in the attempt and the fighting continued. Winger came to me and
asked for truce, which I accepted. I believe it lasted not even a month
before Sigfried decided to attack my brother Jamie and later Oceania and
Irani attacked me while I was questing in Djeir. Their reasoning for
this was yet again, a wormhole excuse, the same Larion had used on
Morbid and now will use on me. I have no way to destroy wormholes and I
did not ask anyone to destroy them for me, yet Oceania says she "saw" me
destroy one herself, or atleast that's what she is telling people. I
asked Larion to speak with me, I told him directly that I did not wish
this war to continue, but the fighting restarted and Larion ignored me.
This war has been going for many months now, but was only declared
public recently. This was done so that the members of the Reach have
prior warning. Many members also have spoken with me and I have given
them sanction, peace from these fights. No one deserves to die for a
coward who hides behind his walls and can only lash out at my loved
ones.
I hope this helps those who are curious. As in all conflicts, both sides
will have a different story, so believe what you will, but know this, my
love for my family and my fiance is what pushed me in this. I will put
down my sword and leave the Reach in peace when Larion steps down as
Ard-Dhasani and someone with honor, respect, and trust takes his place.

on a side note....Oceania, be not deceived with the first appeareance of
things, for show is not substance.
