[b]‘War Never Changes’[/b]

-War has always been a brutal thing and the Tereridonians were in no mood to change that. Bodies littered the streets of the villages and towns they sacked on their rampage towards Benniopolis itself. Women were raped as their homes burnt however nothing was slowing the assault. 
[hider=The City-State of Bennipolis] The Tereridonians have given permission for the talks to take place and will, in turn, halt their attack whilst the peace talks take place. They also say that they will be sending 100 of their own knights to protect Athenakles. In accordance with what you are doing. (Basically you can flesh the talks out however you wish but Tereridon either want Athenakles installed as the new leader of Benniopolis or they want the land highlighted below.)

However recent messages between the waring parties have caused the Tereridon to cease their relentless killing for the time being, in hopes that a resolution might be found. Currently peace talks are taking place. Tereridon makes it clear that all countries aiding Benniopolis honour this too. The Kamalao Republi also came under some pressure for their decleration of support for Benniopolis, they had enlisted the aid of the Stone Rose Society, a guild of assasins renowned throughout the world however one of the assassins was captured on his entry to King Dearhearts private chamber,in exchange for his freedom he gave up the name of his employers, the Republi. Terheridon has publically denounced the Kamalao Republi as underhand, back stabbing and devious as well as not to be trusted by other nations for this blatant act of disrespect. However whilst this was happening all trading parties and vessels have been halted from entering into Terheridon. 

-In other news the revolution in Dont was becoming more and more bloody as the days went on. Bands of ‘Freedom Fighters’ went from village to village slaughtering anybody believed to be aiding the regime. Public executions were common and nobody seemed safe. Robert the Freedman officialy claims he is no leader of the revolutionaries however coordinates everything from his own base inside the capital. The Palace still stood as a government stronghold however it was running low on supplies and would fall soon.
[hider=Corleonn-Warrus-Grudden-Nollin Alliance] Robert the Freedman has refused your offer of a meeting, as this would hurt his image and reputation with the party. He has sent you the following offer however.
Firstly, Otto Von Klebb will be returned to the People’s Republic of Dont to stand trial.
Secondly, all Alliance forces will withdraw from Dont territory and all Dontian citizens wishing to return from Alliance mines will be returned.
Thirdly, the Alliance will publically ask that all loyalists remaining in Dont stand down to face trials.
In exchange for this Robert is willing to allow the following.
Firstly, the 20,000 soldiers who defy the revolution will be stripped of all their arms and gear, dishonourably discharged and then escorted to the Alliance border where they may join with your faction.
Secondly, any Alliance citizens, soldiers and officials will be allowed to return to Alliance lands unharmed.[/hider]
