We had established a long term treaty with Bloodloch in which neither
side would cross the Pachanacha river. This treaty was carefully
respected by Asthan at all points in time.

Then two months ago, without warning, without a declaration of war,
without any sign, the troops of Bloodloch did traitorously sneak across
the Pachanacha and started to conquer territory belonging to Ashtan in
violation of our treaty agreement.

Some loyal members of the militia and of the city of Ashtan did help
thwart the initials attacks. Through my decisive actions at the time, as
well as the tactical expertise of Ashtan's War Minister, Arslen High
Lord, Sir Arslen Ohmsford, The Wolf, massive casualties were inflicted
upon Bloodloch troops, resulting in loses of over 300 Bloodloch troops
within the first few Aetolian days of the discovery of their treachery.

How any organization, or individuals who may be part of an organization,
that say they owe fealty to a code of honor above all else, can support
such disgusting and traitorous actions is beyond me.

That day will go down in infamy for the sneak attack upon the harbor of
our lands.
