The arctic gale lashed the Baltic Coast, the furry of the wind and snow drove every one inside, seeking shelter from the cold. The BTR-80s wheels crunched in the snow, their winter camouflage made them disappear in the thick snow storm. They quickly traversed the young pine forest, and made there way into the village. ______________ In the center of the village stood a gnarled old oak, the remains of a sacred grove for the Hare God. Some how it had remained hidden from the Teutonic Knights once before, but now it was doomed. In the brutal storm the knights hacked away at it. Holy steel biting into evil flesh. As the tree collapsed the BTRs turned their guns at the houses around them. The thin walls of wood and plaster offered no protection from the 14.5 mm shells. As they punched through the walls the fragmentation shells would detonate. Holy steel biting into evil flesh. The knights moved from house to house, finishing what the BTRs had started. Finishing everyone, man, woman, child, baby. Once the house was clear, the flame-throwers would set to work, flames leaping from their barrels, igniting wood and skin. Holy flames burning evil flesh ______________ The knights where finishing what they had started so many years ago. Edited by Menhad, May 12 2012, 11:09 PM.

As the knights pushed further, the pagan forces began to muster. But they where hopelessly outmatched, Teutonic tanks and infantry rolled through the towns, killing all the pagans. The Teutonic Order was hell bent on it objective, capturing the rest of Latvia, all the way to the border with Quaon.

The Teutonic Knight's objectives where complete, and the Order's flag was planted on the border with Quaon. Very little opposition was present, and no outside support was sent to the Pagan cause. The Knights had utterly crushed their foes. |

"The Teutonic Order so often condemns us as we welcome more citizens to our ranks, yet they have no qualms if they are the conquerors. Without warning, the Order has killed many an unsuspecting innocent, and for what? Land? Have they not said Venice was run by greed because we gained land in a much more peaceful way? The Order must be filled with hypocrites, so blinded by their faith to their god that they will kill his creations without second thought. They are blinded to the evils they create, claiming to defend the faithful. Something must be done before much longer." ~ Imperator Drake Reed ~ |

The Republic of Porcu is disgusted by the massacre of innocents on the Continent by the Teutonic Order and strongly condemns the violent occupation, calling upon the rest of the European community to join Stockholm in denouncing the Order. Porcu will immediately cease all trade relations with the Teutonic Order. The Foreign Office of Porcu |

Statement from The United States of Metz The United States of Metz is horrified at the actions taken against innocent peoples by the Teutonic Order. We condemn the actions done and join The Republic of Porcu in denouncing the Order. We will not open up trade with The Teutonic Order unless proper reparations are made and these terrible actions cease. Statement from the National Church of Metz, Newspring Church As fellow followers of the one, true, Christian God, we understand your devotion and faith. Your actions, however, are contradictory to Christian beliefs and proper behaviour. You should view pagans and other lost souls as possible converts to God, not people to be killed. The Order is not a true follower of Christ. We condemn the actions taken by The Order, and question if The Order is Christian. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been affected by this massacre. May God have pity on their souls. Senior Pastor Perry Noble |

Innocence, you fools know nothing of innocence. Where was their innocence when they hung our missionaries' corpses in their sacred groves? Where was their innocence when they captured our Knights, and instead of holding them for ransom, they tortured and killed them? Where was their innocence when they sent children and women against us as suicide bomber? Our efforts are to secure the safety of our own lands, to destroy a terrorist hotbed, and to try and save these demented souls. We have tried to convert them, but the few conversions where skin deep. Now we resort to force, to show these heathens the strength that the lord gives us. It is better they die before they can commit more evil here on Earth. -Hochmeister Hermann von Jungingen Edited by Menhad, Jan 30 2010, 11:21 AM.

Dear Hochmeister Hermann von Jungingen, We realize the threat that they may have posed to your peoples. We, however, are faithful to a mercyful God and a God that would not approve of the massacre of people. Even if they may have threatened your safety in the past, we as Chirstians should show them the mercy and greatness of our God by forgiveness and continued efforts to share the word of God to all. We must not give up on people. We wish you would reconsider your actions. Our stance remains the same as we contiue to question The Order's claims as Christians and condemn the actions that have been taken. Senior Paster Perry Noble Leader of Newspring Church |

On what authority do you speak to me as an equal? Do you recognize the Pope who resides in Hamburg? Or one of the countless blasphemers? As far as I know, you do Satan's work. -Hochmeister Hermann von Jungingen |

My authority is irrelevant when the principles of Chirstianity are universal. You have sinned and commited murder. The Order should seek forgiveness from the Pope if that is who leads The Order. You should not look to your Pope to justify the transgressions you have done, by questioning the authority of a fellow Christian. Troubled are the days when a sinner calls someone a blasphemer and confused is the Christian Church when it looks to justify sin. Senior Pastor Perry Noble Newspring Church |

OOC: I guess you don't know about Catholicism here.... There are three types of Catholics (Genesian, Colognian, and what ever Sed calls his). Genesian is pretty much what the Catholic Church was during the Medieval Ages (IE burning heretics at the stake, inquisitions, etc) Colognian could be compared to the Catholic Church today. Sed, well, I'm not sure really, I think its like the early church. I'm not sure. IC: When God flooded the Earth for 40 days and 40 nights, did he not destroy his own creations? To cleanse the Earth of wickedness and sin? Yes he did. So by removing this bed of wickedness and idolatrous sin, are we not sparing the Earth of another cleansing? Instead of God raising his hand to strike down these pagans, he has command us to do it. _____________ You reject Christ's teaching by not accepting Peter, and his decedents, as the head of the Church. You work against God by not working with the Pope. You can not pick and choose with parts of the Bible to follow, but since you do, you have rejected God's words. You, are a heretic, and when judgment day comes, God will damn your soul to hell. Pray for forgiveness, and pray that the Teutonic Order does not find you. -Hochmeister Hermann von Jungingen OOC: Do you really want to piss the Order off? |

OOC: Sed's isn't a religion. It's a Roman Reformation that wants to return the Catholic doctrines to the early days of the church. The Reformation is more of a coalition of smaller churches who's doctrines vary slightly, which is how Eire has the Celtic Church and Venice has the Evangelist Church while still being under the same category. |

The actions of the Teutonic Order were necessary in the eyes of the Catholic Commonwealth of South Africa. Heresy must not be allowed to fester, it must be struck down swiftly lest we allow Satan's influence to infiltrate the very societies we, as God's soldiers, have sworn to protect. We have no doubt that the Pope of the Genesian Catholic Church would also agree with us on this stance. Surely no Genesian in the world would speak ill of what the Teutonic Order has done, for they have truly won a great victory in our eternal fight against Satan's dark army. The Commonwealth officially recognizes the Teutonic Order's expansion and implores other Catholics of the one true faith to do the same. Her Virgin Majesty, Juliana dos Santos Aveiro-Medici II By the Grace of God, Sacred Queen of the Holy Catholic Commonwealth of South Africa. Edited by NRE, Feb 2 2010, 03:23 PM.

OOC: Quick question about that. How would the expansion be denied, IC? The TO isn't going to back off just because a few smaller nations started yelling. I don't think they'd back off if the whole world started yelling. Since the conquest has been RPed, the denial of the expansion should be as well. |

OOC: Porcu is currently in no position to serious deny the expansion. I merely protested IC, as it's the best I can do. I'll voice opposition but won't actively campaign to stop the expansion. IC relations will sour but that's about it. |

OOC: I'm in the same boat. I just wanted to express/voice an opinion on the matter. Im not actually going to do anything further than stop trade which I tech had never began with T.O. I guess...so Im pretty much useless in the matter other than vocally stating im against it. |

OOC: Well though certainly superior to most nations militarily, wars are not based entirely on military stats alone. There is always the possibility that if a Coalition rose to oppose them, they could at the very least fight to a stale-mate, at which point the area would be disputed and possibly be considered some sort of DMZ. |

OOC: Ok, so I'm redoing my assessment of this situation. So just as a review it appears to total is 3 Oppositions to 1 Approvals, if my numbers are wrong please correct me. Here is whom I have for each. Opposition: Porcu, Venice, and Metz. Approval: Catholic Commonwealth Therefore this expansion will be granted under a "not regionally recognize" label. This means that although it can be claimed as a territory of your government, it will exist in a semi-autonomous fashion. |

Official Statement from the Grandmaster of the Hospitaller Order of Saint Patrick The Teutonic Order has acted in a stereotypical fashion. It is sad to see they would follow in the footsteps of the worst of their predecessors rather than the best. The original purpose of the Teutonic Order was as Hospitallers in Acre, and later it changed to the conversion of pagans and Orthodox Christians in the North. Many were converted peacefully, many were converted forcibly, many were slaughtered, whether or not they had converted. The leadership of the current Teutonic Order follows the same path of damnation as their predecessors. This is undeniable by the teachings of Christ and the Church. If the Genesian Catholic Church truly approves of the Teutonic Order's ruthless murder of these peoples, then it is obvious it cannot be Christ's Church. I call to all Christians to recognize this fact. Signed, Stiofán Pól Ó Siadhail Signatures of Agreement William Earl Ó Siadhail - High King of Ireland, King of Meath Otto Friedrich Ó Siadhail - King of Munster Oisin Mac Murchú - King of Connacht, Lord of House Murchú Rónán Seán Ó Néill - King of Ulster, 10th Earl of Tyrone, Lord of House Niall, High Deputy Michael Eamon Ó Briain - Lord of House Briain Teague Fitzpatrick - King of Leinster, Lord of House Fitzpatrick Aleyn Crovan - King of Mann Proinnsias Mag Uidhir - Archbishop of Cashel Aonghas Ó Loingsigh - Archbishop of Dublin Rían Mac Maol Eoin - Archbishop of Tuam Frank Keogh - Anglican Archbishop of Armagh Wilhelm Fleischmann - Order Marshal of the Hospitaller Knights of Saint Patrick Sir Emmanuel Chrétien - Commander of the Knights of Edessa Olivier Reinhart - Count of Edessa -the list of signatures go on to include the signatures of all the lords and clergy (Celtic, Anglican, or otherwise, save for Genesian) of Ireland and Edessa- |

James Connell, Archbishop of Canterbury, also signs in agreement with the Celtic Catholic criticism of the Teutonic Order and the Genesian Church. Druid High Priestess Ashleigh Gladstone issues a similar statement condemning the actions of the "militant Christians". Official Statement from the Government of the English Republic The needless slaughter of innocent people in the Baltic region is reprehensible. We would hope that the Teutonic Order is simply a rogue element of the Genesian Church. No decent human being would condone such a pointless slaughter. The House of Lords unanimously condemns the Order's actions. We echo the sentiments of the Porcuian government and immediately cease all trade relations with the Teutonic Order.
