I, Grand Duke Sebastian IV of Alexanderhaven, wish for the help of my fellow heads of state to assist me in what may be a war of great magnitude if not taken care of quickly.

It has come to my attention that Emperor Karl Leopold I of Salenitia, who is both the head of the Imperial House of Gelvenghasen and my distant cousin, has designs to take over my own House and my dukedom and make Alexanderhaven a province of the Empire.

Please assist me in holding off against this attempt, and I assure you, you would have the loyalty of me and my people in future campaigns. Especially against my fool cousins.

OOC-

Basically, the Imperial House of Gelvenghasen is trying to reassert its control over the Zumbraff branch in an attempt to gain control of the mountainous duchy of Alexanderhaven, which had been founded by a group of Knights that had settled there after finishing their tours of duty during the Crusades, having been sent there by the then-Papal State of Salenitia. The leader of the Knights had been a member of the Gelvenghasen Family. Cologne and Kalrsburg are the twin overseas colonies of the Salenitian Empire. Dunno yet where Kasnyia falls into this, but it falls into it somewhere and will be ruled by the House of Gelvenghasen-Aloerburg and its scion, King Stephan X.

The Imperial Shogunate sees little reason to intervene in this matter.

However, we are respectful of the ways of others and would be willing to lend you our aid in defending your homeland providing there is some real benefit for ourselves beyond the promise of your military aid in the future.

OOC- putting a hold until I'm on the map. Also, without Salenitia, this becomes somewhat silly.

From the Imperial Foreign Office in Constantinople to the Grand Duchy of Alexanderhaven, by way of the Black Sea:

"Grand Duke Sebastian, as is appropriate considering the long-running cordiality between your Caucasian Grand Duchy and the Empire, the Romans will aid you against the mechanitions of the pseudo-emperors of Salenitia."

"We of course thank and accept the Roman hand of friendship. Karl Leopold must be stopped before his insane dreams of conquest become reality."

-Statement from Grand Duke Sebastian IV

---------------------

By Imperial Decree-

As Emperor of the Salenes I, Karl Leopold, hereby excercise my sovereign authority over the wayward Salenese domain of Alexanderhaven and place it under the rule and protection of Imperial Law as guided by the Salenese Crown. The pretender to the non-existant Zumbraff branch of the House of Gelvenghasen will surrender his false titles, which he has obtained illegally and without the permission of the main ruling line, and then turn himself and his immediate family to the authorities of the crown to stand trial for sedition. All assets, military and civillian, are hereby placed under Imperial control. Any who do not submit to this control shall be charged with treason. The authority in Bahenau is insisted to surrender now and remove the risk of war. No other chance will be given.

Karl Leopold I,
Emperor of the Salenes and Autocrat of Salenitia

Alexandre Marchese-Cartier,
Prime Minister of Salenitia and Speaker of the Grand Parliament

Gen. Martin Delinz,
Chief of the Imperial General Staff

A few days later, the Imperial Salene Armada made off from its main base in Kiel, led by the great flagship, the ISA Marlwulf battleship (one of a kind, built entirely for siege and long distance warfare) and surrounded by two pocket battleship flotillas, three destroyer flotillas, and another three cruiser flotillas. The fleet was a fourth of the entire Salenitian Navy.

And it was heading straight for Alexanderhaven.
