From the Grapevine:

Emissaries of Ali Baba IV carry this message to all:

So it was written long ago in the stars, and by the grace and will of Allah, so shall it pass! Those who remain steadfast hold sway and dominion over the unfaithful. Praise the Glory of Allah Most High as this Universe comes to its end!

Emissaries of Fast Food Maven carry this message to all:

Well, I just hate to give up, so I will not. I hope no one is upset with that decision. I need to brush up on my tactical strategies for the next era. It's been quite some time since I sent in the mavens. See ya on the other side.

Emissaries of MuscularPacifists carry this message to all:

I admit, this isn't the ending I hoped for. But I think, to get another great war, we first need a new beginning. Too many have left... So let's start over, get Star and I back down to size, let everyone pick a new identity - and see what happens next time around! Goodbye, friends (and old enemies)!

Emissaries of Star carry this message to all:

Latest reports: Garavlo campain, 416 to 346; FFM campain, 166 to 140. I wanted to thank you all, friends and enemies alike, for our mostly long term friendship and for this fun final challenge. I'm looking to meeting you again. Best luck to all in the new era, Sky

Emissaries of Garavlo carry this message to all:

I'm packing in the fight, except for an attempt to retake one of my lost regions. As MP says, the end is here, why bother? If you see me in the NE I hope you will harbor no animosity toward my surviving people. Hera implodes after I retake it, just my luck. It's been fun. See you on the other side.
