SNARL's first recwar has begun! A new forum has been created for the the Veliken War, which since Babkha's self-removal shall consist mainly of Shireroth on one side, and Antica and Natopia allied on the other.

According to the war proposal, the war will be centered in the region of the Veliken Territory, where Audentior and Macadam formerly resided on the MCS map (this region is empty on the current version of the map). Just south of the Antican subdivision of Skiron, for recwar purposes the area will be home to a nation based around the city of Velike. This nation, traditionally dependent on Shireroth, will become convinced of the opportunities of joining Antica. Shireroth will invade to force Velike to remain independent, while Antica and its ally Natopia will try to repel the invasion.

Giving Up Land?!?

Nah. In response to a desire by the Duke of Arminy to vacate a portion of land formerly held by it, the Mango-Longships Treaty has been drawn up to transfer said land to the control of the Viking Empire of Stormark. Reputedly, Arminy requested the change because it was not strictly necessary to Arminy's culture.

The Treaty does not permanently cede the land to Stormark; rather, the arrangement is more in the form of a lease, with Shireroth (or, if it becomes independent again, Arminy) able to terminate the lease and get back its territory.
