DOMESTIC: BYZANTINE OFFENSIVE BOGGED DOWN NEAR RIDGEVALE
“Today, I head for the post where my men await; I am determined to serve and give my life for my country.
The fort is nearly isolated(with only the supply route to Whitehaven narrowly open), the men are nearly without ammunition, nearly without food and water is in such short supply. By Ysmir, the enemy could simply starve us out, but they would not even give us peace of sleep with their constant assaults that occur every 12 hours.
However, our duty is to stop the enemy right here. Until the very last man. I do not expect to return home alive…
But if our children can live safely for one more day, then it is worth that one more day holding this Fort!“

ASPERMONT, W.L. - War Fever hits the Westerlands and the Icelands as the Mobilization Order from Aurora demands all Royal Provinces support its war effort to drive the “Colored Bastards” from our Kingdom.
The noblemen and people of condition have agreed to raise multiple regiments of Horse, Foot and Artillery to meet the Blue-Ass of the East and liberate the towns of Ridgevale and Huntsgrove from enemy occupation.
The Province of the Westerlands has already raised
15 Regiments of Foot
8 Regiments of Horse
12 Regiments of Lancers
8 Companies of Artillery
2 Battalions of Rifles
In addition to the standing army, a reserve force is being trained for the defense by drafting men from outlying villages such as Arbreton, Crowmure, Yongton. No naval build-up was ordered as the war is seen to be mostly a land conflict.
Irishkaiser - Men who cannot answer the price of a mile are not fit to lead or at the very least dictate anything. A lot of people take life for granted, not just themselves - but the lives of others. This was demonstrated in the Great War deep in Belgium and France where six miles of ground were gained in exchange the lives of over half a million men.
Ask the fields of Passchaendale, ask the fields of Verdun.
Putting spoiled people in power who have no ideas of condition, let alone human condition can be a very, very grave mistake. Remember to always base your decision on empathy and not simply on tradition(though tradition I believe is the wisdom of the ages summed up to create order in society) yet be demanding but justified.
I see it in your starry, idealistic eyes the hypocrisy which infects each and everyone of you. The deification and blind praise of individuals over the justice and recognition of whole groups of peoples. Peoples that are willing to be sacrificed for personal goals under the guise of twisted nationalism or twisted casus belli for anything, even in your everyday lives.
