Imp sighed. Then stand up, bowed to Ashardalon, Tempest and Gallador's representative.
"Since is wasn't just ... I will show You, friends of people of Empire and enemies of God-Tzar, true evidence of falsehood of these charges. Those who will invade Empire will face ultimate consequences."
Imp repeated his record, with sad face and grim resignation in his features.
Serpenteye said:
The Great City.
As Eclavdra writhes in pain great bolts of pure and uncontrolled energy strike at random around her from the artifact she wears. The carefully placed spells and wards around the city cannot withstand this onslaught from within. They unravel, like a burning web, and the city is open.
Iuz, already present in the city, is the first one to act.
"I would like also remind everybody present, that internal strife in Eclavdor, was it ... internal strife and Iuz wasn't forced to defend Eclavdor from itself. Elistraee is not protected by Pact, so why Pact defends her ? My Master makde mistake beliving Eclavdra's words ... and wasted precious power, she already choosed slavery in hypocrisy. In other words ... Those who invade Empire will be destroyed. Period. Empire ceases diplomatic relations with traitors and hypocrites, only ambassadors of King Gallador, Great Aerdi, Tempest nad Acererak the Demilich are allowed to stay. Other TEC Pact traitors are given one day to remove their representatives from borders of Empire. We have nothing to speak with You anymore."
Saying this, Imp destroyed recorder and sat in resignation on his place. Those with sharp hearing could hear him murmuring.
"First Master's illness ... now this, Vecna must be smiling."
OOC:
Empire will not make any aggressive move, except full mobilisation and reinforcing strategic fortifications. Spies caught are executed on the spot. Representatives that didn't fled in given time, are executed. It's obvious that Empire of Iuz is prepared for siege. And Empire's wizards will fast build wards against scrying in places lacking them, and reinforce those existing. And protections against Teleportation and dimensional travel, of course there where the aren't. Iuz is changing magic currents so only His faithful could rely on it's might within his Godly Realm. Others ... well others should rely on more mundane ways of warfare. To the end of Turn all Iuz's forces are fortyfing, gathering extra supplies. Civilians are armed, as alvays, but remain at their places. From their perspective it is just war, like many Iuz fought in the past. For change he is defending now. Nothing to worry much.
