From the Grapevine:

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Greetings Harald Hardrada of the Norselands,/://;/I am the Great Drixtar leader of the friendly nation of the Yuxtors. I see we have come across our paths in a very unfortunate way. I feel that this has just been a small blunder in an aggressive exploration tactic, and shall be looked upon as a mistake. So dont worry my neighbor there shall not be a reprisal for just a mistake, for us Yuxtors we are friendly people and we strive to live in peace with our neighbors. But beware my neighbor when we are provoked into a conflict the Yuxtors will rise up to defend its land and its ally Interests./://;//://;/I Drixtar of the Yuxtors feel that the people of the Yuxtors and the Norselands shall remain as neutral non aggressive nations for now. So that our nations can grow without the fear of each others moves. Please use caution in your explorations, and I also will follow a safe procedure in exploring the vast lands./://;//://;/Thank you, and have a Good Day/://;//://;/Drixtar

  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Elessar and Balzar.
  • Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Harald Hardrada and Drixtar.
  • Emissaries of Elessar carry this message to all:
    Methinks Balzar would do well to heed his own advice. How ironic that the same leader who warned us to explore carefully barges across my border the very next turn. By the time you read this I will have reclaimed what is mine. I believe we have an early candidate for 'Least Trustworthy Leader'.
