The news:
The Romani. Too long have they crossed our borders and raided our towns and villages. Too many men have died because of their pride. But pride always goes before a Elephants. Their walls have collapsed due to the warcries of our warriors. Their skies have darkened over the smoke of victory. Their people has been vanquished and enslaved. The Romani are no more.
The enemy alliance. When the dust of the great war against the Romani has abated, our people was known as the most powerful empire under the eyes of Baal-Hammon. Emissaries from all corners of the world have come to Quart-Hadast and have bowed before the might of your people. But dark clouds approach from the east. The still powerful Ptolemaioi, enemies of old, have gathered a strong confederacy. The Koinon Hellenon and the Pahlava joined forces with the Ptolemaioi and with each other, and now try to bring us to our knees. Supported by Pahlavan money, the Koinon Hellenon attack our possessions in Europe and the Ptolemaioi those in Africa. But we are battle-tested like no other people in the world. Our Generals have ravaged in Egypt, have burned fields, annihilated cities and brought home 100'000 slaves from Alexandreia alone. Soon our great fleet will be ready to sail the greatest army the world has ever seen to Egypt, and when we have finished there will be no Ptolemaioi in Africa anymore.
The friends. But not all peoples as eager to go to death like our enemies. The strong and wild tribes in the north, the fearsome Sweboz and the again strengthening Arverni are supporting us in our war against the Koinon Hellenon. And in the east the proud and venerable Saba are fighting the superior Ptolemaioi for over one century and are still not broken.
Ye gods, give us the wisdom to honor you, give us the courage not to fail in battle and give us the strength to subject our enemies, and we will sacrifice their children to you, and you shall be satisfied.
