The Pomarj?
This is the same country that we have been at peace with, for several months, prior to now?
This is the same country... but not the same ruler. I see. I understand.
Friends, allies - the time has come to reveal this traitor... but not just to reveal him, but to also destroy him.
Leader of the Pomarj, I give you an ultimatum. Come to the Lortmils alone, without any of your staff, and surrender yourself to us. Disarm your peoples. Destroy your weaponry. And no harm shall come to you.
Take your pick. You have not the strength to stand up against my might. Give in, and you shall be spared - don't, and none of your nation will survive.

AnaKeri is indeed the name of this continent.

Well, I will formally apologize for the actions of my faction.
If they ask me to leave, I leave.
I actually thought there was a war being waged against them and offered help. So much for my good intentions.
I still offer them full disclosure of what has occurred. I don't know if peace is possible, but I will make the effort.
This is what I get for e-mailing without reading the boards.
Sorry if I offended anyone.

Well, William, they point out, under a banner of truce, that three separate Powers have set up bases on their continent.
By force, and after driving off the native people.
They want those bases gone, and the Oeridians who set them up, gone with them.

Our only forces on the continent are missionaries, diplomats and their bodyguards. There is no invasion army, there never was.
We try to resume peaceful negotiations with the native nations but if they insist that we leave we will do so.
William, we never intended to start a war over this. Do you consider sending diplomats and missionaries to foreign nations and withdrawing them when the host request that they leave an act of war?

Archcleric Hazen sends messages to Thayadon Fasfoni, Jand the Red Elf, and the God Emperor of the Dark Union. I also send the same messages to the representatives of the people of AnaKeri.
"The peoples of AnaKeri have requested us to leave. In the interests of peace with them and with each other, I suggest we do so."
"If they wish us to have embassies, let us set them up where they request, and interact with them as they wish. If they wish us to leave, then I believe we should respect their wishes. I have stated that I did not wish Oerth to be a colony of another world. In light of this, how can I support any effort to deny the people of AnaKeri the rights I claim that my people possess."
"For know we have much greater issues and threats closer to home. I wish all of you well and the people of AnaKeri well."
I ask that if any representatives of the native peoples wish to send an embassy to my lands, I would be honored to do so. If they wish me to leave, I will respect their wishes. I thought they were under attack.
Also, with the threats we face back on the Oerik Continent, we do not need to fight each other here.
I also share the knowledge of what has happened with them. My representatives will not lie to them and submit to any magical scan that the native peoples desire to prove that we are not lying to them.

The natives then bring forward proof of their accusations.
It is a banner.
It reads:
Eternal Empire of Toril
- - -
Then they bring forth more proof.
It is a piece of ice, which for some reason is not melting in the tropical sun.
Carved on it are words, which, when translated, read: Inor Taladost
- - -
Then they bring forth MORE proof.
Another banner. It reads: Saermont
- - -
The native people state that they were attacked by men wielding wands of death, ice people who threw webs of cold, and giants wielding swords.
This, they ask, is friendship?
This, is what Oerik chooses to send?
This, is how Oerik greets strangers?

No, I do not. I sent the e-mail before I read the boards and presumed the worst. (You do have to admit, out of character, that your past actions have given some people cause for skepticicism. In light of this, perhaps you can understand some of the reaction you and Mr. Draco received earlier in this interview.)
I am offering a public out of character apology to you. I think we have to respect these people's rights.
We have much bigger problems closer to home.
As this is an out of character mistake, I hope that this will end here.
Archcleric Hazen sends a message to the God Emperor of the Union of Oerth.
"Your majesty, early intelligence reports were incomplete. So, if I misjudged you based on those reports, I ask your pardon. I believe we should speak with the peoples of AnaKeri if they wish. Or leave if they desire it."
"For now, we have common enemies who will seek to rule or devour us all. I have no desire to fight you in this matter, but I believe the resources of both the Union of Oerth and the Oerth Alliance are best used in dealing with problems closer to home."

So, you will not explain the misunderstanding to these people, and offer to help them?

I know who the Eternal Empire of Toril is, but the other powers are unfamiliar to me at the moment. Is one Alyx's and one kaboom's. Whatever knowledge I have of them is shared with the natives. Again, they can scan my representatives.
I have stated that I have told them what I know of Toril. As I had an ambassador on Toril for several months, I should be able to give them some decent information on the Eternal Empire of Toril.
I also inform them about the other Torillian powers.
I again apologize profusely for any offense on my part. I am not going to lie to the people of AnaKeri or try to use them.
(OOC: From now on, I will look at the boards before replying to an e-mail. No problem. Mea culpa. Not to be confused with Mia Farrow.

)As an overture of peace, the Union emmissaries tell the natives that they will assist in dismantling and removing the bases set up on their continent by other factions, if the natives would just show the union representatives where the bases are. Also, should the natives agree, the union representatives will communicate the location of the bases telepathically to the god-emporer and kas, before taking further action.
The emmissaries also explain, in detail, that the Union of Oerth differs from all the other factions they brought forth evidence of.
Back in the Union, extensive research is began into who or what the other two factions could have been. Once anything is discovered, it is brought to the natives as proof that the Union was not responsible.

Sorry, Edena, missed your post.
I explain the misunderstanding and offer to help them with the situation. I explain my actions completely and say that I will try to convince the other powers to leave them to pursue their own destiny.
When I am in the wrong, I do make up for it. I misunderstood what was going on, so I have to correct it. (Both to the people I have offended on the boards and in character with the people of AnaKeri.
What is the reaction of the people of AnaKeri after I share EVERYTHING I know about Oerth and Toril with them. I am not going to lie to them. This may be their first experience with sincerely repentant foreigners. (I am having a few servings humble pie and crow before I eat supper tonignt. )
I will ask when they first saw signs of the Eternal Empire of Toril and ask how they have been treated by the various visitors to their lands.

To Hazen's emmisary:
"Let your president know, Kevellonder, that our intentions towards Anakeris are and always have been peaceful cooperation and salvation in the faith of our church. Inform him also that we completely understand his reactions to the alarming but false reports that he recieved and that we would react in exactly the same way to similar information. Tell him that we intend to maintain our defacto alliance with the Alliance of Oerth and that our resolve to fight the enemies of Oerth is undiminished. Send him my warmest greetings.
You may leave."
-
I completely agree with you, in and out of character. I took no offence, mistakes are easy to make and I have made several during the course of these threads.

Thanks for being reasonable. Well, I guess I have just proven to everyone that I am as human as everyone else.
Edena:
Everything is explained honestly to the people of AnaKeri. I am sending missives to my allies to comply with the wishes of the peoples of the continent.
Sorry if I rattled any cages.
I send word to Lord Kalanyr asking him to investigate the actions of the agents of the Pomarj and to assist in cleaning the damaged area of the Union of Oerth.

I offer the people of AnaKeri my sworn pledge to ask every power that I know of on their lands to leave, if that is their wish.
Also, I am waiting for their reaction to everything in the IR, about Oerth and Toril. If they have any questions, my emissaries answer to the best of their ability.
If they wish us to trade with them or have embassies, I will do so. However, I will honor their wishes. I will tell their representatives and if asked, show them anything they ask about our culture and soceity. If any wish to travel to my lands, I will treat their ambassadors with every courtesy and explain what we are doing with technology and magic. If they wish trade, they have it. However, I have to await their decision. I am not coming as a conqueror to their shores.
Again, I ask them about the Eternal Empire of Toril and its involvement in their lands. I explain what ever I know of them. It may be hard to do so, but I make every effort to communicate with them.
I have contacted the parties whom they wish to have leave their lands. Any response that I receive is shared with the people of AnaKeri.

To further improve relationships between the Union of Oerth and the natives, the Union emmesaries offer to teach the natives how to use the new technology that we have (i.e.- guns, etc...) so that they can better defend themselves should the factions that attacked them earlier return. Consider this the Union sharing technology with them.

If any of the parties that I am negotiating with wish to learn about technology, I will share the knowledge with them. If they ask me to share tech with them, I do so. I will again ask about the Eternal Empire of Toril and the treatment that they have received from them and other powers.
Again, I let their representatives scan my emissaries for proof of their good intentions. They also receive a full history of the IR, and anything else they ask is answered honestly and openly. No attempt to hide any blemishes or whitewash anything.
