Akumjeli Yodit Sulaiman squinted into the distance, the sun glaring off the vast expanse of water. "This isn't what I expected," he murmured to himself, his voice barely audible over the gentle lapping of waves against the bow of the ship. The maps back in Nur had shown a narrow sea, easily crossed by boat. Yet here he stood, the horizon a smudge of blue and white, hinting at a vastness that seemed to stretch forever.
The vessel beneath his feet, the 'Maiden's Whisper', had borne him this far, its sturdy wooden hull creaking with each swell. The ship's name had been chosen by his late wife, a gentle reminder of her hope and belief in his quest for discovery. Akumjeli had always found solace in the ship's steadfastness, the way it sliced through the water like a knife through butter. Now, however, he questioned the wisdom of its name. The sea seemed to have forgotten the whispers of maidens and instead spoke in a language of endless riddles and unyielding silence.
He tightened his grip on the leather-bound journal that hung from his belt. His mission, bestowed upon him by the Priesthood of Nalibia, was to explore and map the lands beyond the known world. Akumjeli had dreamed of this adventure since he was a child, poring over the faded charts of his ancestors who had sailed the same waters, their names etched in history for their daring voyages.
The crew, mostly seasoned sailors from the coastal cities of Nur, exchanged nervous glances as the ship ventured deeper into the uncharted sea. They had grown accustomed to the familiar landmarks and predictable currents of their own waters, but this was a realm of myth and legend to them. Akumjeli knew he had to be the beacon of confidence, the steady hand that would guide them through this uncertainty.
He approached the helmsman, a gruff man named Hakim with a face weathered by salt and sun. "Keep us on course," he said firmly, his voice carrying the authority of his royal decree. "We will find land, and when we do, we will return as heros." Hakim nodded, his grip tightening on the polished wooden wheel. The ship sliced through the waves, driven by the wind that seemed to whisper secrets of the lands they sought.
Days stretched into weeks, and the monotony of the sea began to wear on the crew's spirits. Akumjeli filled his journal with observations of the sea creatures that followed them, the patterns of the stars that wheeled overhead, and the changing moods of the men around him. They grew restless, their whispers of doubt and fear swirling like the sea spray around the ship.
One evening, as the sun painted the sky with a fiery farewell, Akumjeli called the crew to gather around the map table. He unfurled the parchment, revealing a section that lay beyond the known territories. "Men," he began, his eyes scanning the weary faces before him, "our destination is not just a land of gold and spices. It is a place of knowledge, a new horizon for our people to exchange knowledge and establish trade."
A murmur of excitement rippled through the group. They had heard tales of distant lands, but never had they been so close to the edge of the world. Akumjeli's words brought a spark of hope to their eyes, a reminder of why they had left the comforts of home, and the embrace of loved ones.

Please know that expansions are not granted "just because". Expansions are not granted easily without major service to the region or without a large and well thought-out storyline that justifies one. If you have a good storyline that is well thought out and goes above and beyond in quality for RP, please explain it to one of the loremasters and then start working on it. Otherwise, an expansion will not be granted because of "why not lol"
But why? lol. If I had drawn up this exact plot in the beginning (which I would have if I known ghostrider pick another plot) I would have it. I am not a gifted writer, and when I do write only two or three people read it (if that even). lol I'm not asking for a huge chunk of land or imposing/encroaching on anyone else's land. As for a "major service to the region" I'm not sure what that means. lol
In my story of "Akachi the Unfaithful" I wanted for him to flee and start his rule in the north. Yeah, it has been months since I added to the story, but I haven't abandoned the idea of continuing it. lol If someone claims that land, I would have to ask them to be a part of the story. If they agree and then leave I'd have to rework the story, and if they say no I have to abandon the idea all together (or wait for them to despawn and cross my fingers for the next person. lol). I'm not trying to be a bug, I just really want that land. lol -
*Clears Thoat*
Come on, just give it to me. lol My reasoning... Why not? lolNot as an NPC, just as part of my existing land.

Lucius Valaris - Ballroom
Lucius is dancing with a number of other boisterous young men in a giant circle, causing a small tremor in the floorboards. He doesn’t focus on the circle, but at the periphery. To a beautiful blue shirt and white skirt. Stella Niewhus. She is talking to that slender young man again. Lucius’ slipping from her mind. He can’t stand the idea. He leaves the ring of stompers, and makes a straight line towards Stella. Nobody is going to stop Lucius Valaris, Third of his name, heir to the Valaris fortune, and Sinister in the De Rek Third Young Gunners Company.
Uva Dolphin is standing at the edge of the crowd, and spots the dashing man walking straight towards her. She gives Lucius a loving glance, and meets wide, ferocious eyes. Lucius’ bodyguard Crass is hot on his heels. Uva steps to the side and avoids the pair by a hair.

Theo Van Meer - Ballroom
Theo is initially dancing alone, attempting to match the up and down beats of Nalibian dance music, but when that doesn’t work, he notices you just need the down beat to dance. The aspiring 21 year old trust fund baby is trying to fit in at the who’s who of elite society. But it isn’t the place for him. How can a guy who really likes long walks and solitude inherit control of a vast multi-million mark fortune? Theo notices Stella Niewhus and Uva Dolphin dancing near a group of some locals and gravitates towards them.
Stella greets Theo with a smile. “Nice to see ya!” Stella shouts over the music.
“Same!” Theo whips his head back to ensure he didn’t destroy someone’s toes. He turns back to Stella, hunched over. “The studio!” Theo shouts. “By yourself!?”
“Not exactly!” Stella shouts. She smirks and turns her back to Theo. “I need friends! Who love music! Like you!”
Theo leans in. “Like me!?” Stella nods her head to the music. “Say less!”

Stella Niewhus and Uva Dolphin - Ballroom
Uva Dolphin, the youngest of the Dolphin publishing family empire, is too late to warn Stella Niewhus as Lucius stomps across the room, trailed by his bodyguard. Uva wonders if she has done enough as a friend to protect Stella.
Stella and Theo are dancing together on their own, away from the other partiers. They trade laughs and step in time together. Stella looks at Theo, and thinks about how he might actually be more than a mister-money-bags. Their shared love of music and haute cuisine might be worth brewing for longer. Can the warmth of love exist in the cold capitalist mechanisms of the business world? Stella is jolted by Theo’s sudden grim expression. Stella turns her head and sees Lucius darting towards her.
Stella ducks. Lucius loses his footing as he bumps into Stella. The floor, slick from sweat, a few spilled cocktails, and grease, gives no hold for Lucius’ shoes. Lucius falls forward with incredible force. Lucius’ head connects with the ground, and he goes limp. As his body stops, dancers are confused. They look down, and reach for the unconscious young man. Crass is reaching for attendants standing by the edge of the ballroom. They rush to aid the sleeping socialite, but they may be too late. Anyone who suffers such a severe fall may be irreparably changed.
Stella looks on at Lucius with a deep hollowing of her gut. “What have I done?” Stella asks herself. Theo holds her by the shoulder and ferries her to a table with Uva a step behind them.

Maria Calidum
Heads turned as Maria Calidum, seventeen-year-old daughter of hotel magnate, Sir Emerson Calidum and Lady Arthwyete-Calidum, entered the golden ballroom. She was noticed, as she always was, and as she always sought to be. It wasn’t only her flawless features or her gorgeous da Lautus gown in the Aucturian style that drew the glances … she was known. Her power over the choices of the Markan aristocratic youth was remarkable. She was what other influencers dreamed to be. Pleased to see so many of her disciples in attendance, she glided over the parquet floor and began to reward them with her attention.

The final event, with the theme being socializing. Post a picture of the person at the event. They can be dancing alone or with someone else, or even sitting in a corner alone or with a group. Talk about the person/people; what is going through their mind, what are they talking about, how do they feel. And of course; who are they?

Attiq Uchennah of the Iweobiegbulam family is the heartthrob of the silver screen as well as a singer-songwriter. Here by request of many of Nalibia's ladies. As the highest-paid actor for the past two years, Attiq has earned his right to greet us with his presence on the red carpet.
He is wearing a piece by X-Mac, an elaborate dashiki suit of vibrant colors made of Zalet-crafted cotton. His earrings are designed and crafted by Elias Bouchta, whom a lot of our guests are wearing tonight.
His new album will drop this winter as the official soundtrack of his upcoming action movie, Soverign Siege.

Princess Teniayo of House Medhane is here today wearing clothes designed by designer Arsema; the design on her dress represents her Mamon culture through its elaborate bead embroidery, a staple craft of her province; her jewelry is made and designed by Elias Bouchta; and her hair and makeup are styled by Hamza Yirari.
Princess Teniayo is crowned to ascend the throne of her father, which we got a beautiful preview of over this past summer. She took over as acting queen for two months when her father was temporarily bedridden, and we saw just how capable she was as a ruler. The people's overall happiness increased with some jokingly asking, "When will he need another vacation?".

Stella Niewhus and Uva Dolphin - Red Carpet
Stella Niewhus and Uva Dolphin walk out onto the red carpet to some applause and whooping as reporters took photos. Stella wears a complete set of a blue floral shirt and a white dress skirt from Caroline Bonflueve, a very modern fashion designer known for loud, stylized clothing. Uva is wearing a green fluted dress designed by her friend Vales Canes, an outsider fashion designer and artist of Danav descent. Both wear fashion that breaks the mold; an established designer distorting the old and creating something new, and a new designer from an often marginalized ethnic group.
At 20 years old, Stella is the leading eldest daughter of the Niewhus Clan. The Niewhus Clan was born from the exploits of Niels Van Niewhus, who formed Entreprise de Castellum-Niewhus-Perrier in 1312. CNP is now the largest financial services company in Nouveauterra in terms of total controlled assets. Uva, also 20, is the second oldest daughter of the Dolphin Clan, a family of booksellers and publishers with their Dolphin Press being one of the primary publisher-distributors in the country. Stella produces music, and Uva is a muralist and artist. The friends of 10 years are hard to separate.
While Uva is ogling the dashing hunk Lucius Valaris III, Stella is gushing about her production exploits.
“Melancon, Jeune Aigle, and a collab between Julia Niewpoort and Guy Calx,” Stella said.
“That’s crazy! I listen to Melancon all the time,” Theo said. “I wouldn’t have guessed the old school president was doing that now.” Stella gave an exaggerated pout.
“I could be doing more,” Stella said. “But I’m currently stuck with Concordia Disques, so it’s only the artists that management has vetted so to speak. But I have a plan.”
“What kind of plan? Wait, you’re going to go independent?” Theo was hooked.

Saint Mark
Lord Evard Vetopes, The Earl of Greylyn (fore) with his twin brother,
Lord Emmanuel (back)Cameron Riffles: Well, Jennifer, here we are in Cyro, Nalibia at the Sheva Palace for the Nalibian Royal Ball, reporting for the MBC. Did you ever think this event would even catch the interest of Saint Mark, let alone be the must-have invitation it has turned out to be?
Jennifer Synctus: The road to this day has certainly been filled with twists and turns, Cameron. When first announced, the Great Houses were having none of it. Gauche! They proclaimed!
Cameron: Yes, many invitations sat unopened.
Jennifer: Indeed. However, as is often the case, the youth thought otherwise. Whether it was a reaction to the, can we say, stodginess of their elders, or because a ball in a faraway land peaked their sense of adventure ….
Cameron: … or that socialite and influencer, Maria Calidum, announced her intent to attend …
Jennifer: Indeed. Yes, that too. Well, as we know now, every young Markan aristocrat who can free his or her schedule is taking part.
Cameron: Yes, they are, Jennifer, and that brings us back to the Red Carpet. Approaching now are Lord Evard Vetopes, eldest son …
Jennifer: … by seven minutes! …
Cameron: … of The Duke of Anor and his younger twin brother, Lord Emmanuel, both eighteen years old.Jennifer: The Duke of Anor is, of course, one of the Electors of Saint Mark, and his House of Vetopes is one of the oldest, established in the mid-eight hundreds.
Cameron: The young gentlemen are wearing red velvet by da Lautus inspired by the Aucturian Era of the 1310s that is all the rage among young aristocrats this year.
Jennifer: Yes, and the red, for our foreign viewers, is a traditional hue of Saint Mark. So elegant! These two scions of Saint Mark would be quite a catch for any of the fine young ladies in attendance.

Lucius Valaris III - Red Carpet
Lucius walks onto the red carpet with his usual confident swagger. Waving to the camera and showing his bright smile, which costs about as much as a down payment on a house. He wears a brown suit from Pastor, an upstart fashion house in the heart of Gué, a major southern city. It’s popular with rich youths, and their parents who want to buy something that won’t make grandmother fall dead if it were covered in wine or stains. There’s an unspoken rule among Nouveauterrans about colors in high fashion. People of the old Markian ethnic group often wear brown, or earth tones. People of Danav descent (or who claim to be of that descent) wear green. And the grab-bag of ethnicities that fall under Old Gulderian usually wear colors spanning from red to orange.
Lucius is the leading knucklehead of the Nouveauterran Valaris Clan. With origins dating back to the founding of the nation, the Valaris clan has woven its way into being a shipping empire, with a controlling stake in the Valaris-Heraclitus shipping company, the country’s shipping monopoly.
Lucius spotted her from the corner of his eye; Stella Niewhus. She was obscured by a tall yet lanky figure. Lucius brought his hands together and made a dash for Stella, only to be physically blocked by Uva Dolphin.
“Are you Lucius Valaris?” Uva said. Lucius attempted to look around Uva, but manners took first priority.
“Yes, uhm, yes I’m Lucius.” Lucius couldn’t escape Uva’s double handshake. He wanted Stella, but there must be some way around this Danavian diva.

Theo Van Meer - Red Carpet
Theo is somehow embodying zero percent of his father’s media training while walking down the red carpet. His blue suit is from Maurice Olivier, an old-guard tailor of the famed Rue de Marchandes in Pointe-d’Espoir. Deep blue or black suits and pocket squares are the hallmarks of the old-monied elite in Nouveauterra. Even people who want to fit in have to get with the dress code.
Theo is 21 years old, and the leading son of the Nouveauterran Van Meer Clan. The Van Meer Clan was born after the successes of Fabien Van Meer in business. Fabien was the leading partner of Entreprise de Matériaux de Mistige Inham, which later evolved into Matériaux Unis (MatUnis) in 1323. MatUnis is to-date the leading mining company in Nouveauterra, and has made the Van Meer clan incredibly wealthy. Their mining profits are the basis for some sovereign wealth funds in the nation. Theo is meant to inherit this great wealth, but he has to grow into those shoes first.
As Theo ends his walk on the carpet, he spots Stella Niewhus. Stella returns his gaze with a little wave and a smile. Stella’s face looks familiar; Université Ferax, as the head of student government. Theo remembers her speeches, and how she seemed to remember everybody’s name. Maybe she’d remember Theo.

Prince Consort Chufu Olayinka, stood on the red carpet, welcoming the guest as they entered the Ballroom. He extended his hand to welcome the incoming tide of glamour. His smile was as bright as the polished gold of his sash. Each guest brought with them whispers of their nation's history, their ambitions, and the subtle perfume of power. A sea of eager paparazzi cameras flashed, the light bouncing off the jewels and gleaming smiles of the guest. The red carpet was not merely a backdrop for the evening's fashion display but a symbol of the unity and prestige that transcended borders and social classes. Chufu felt a swell of pride in his heart, knowing that this event would serve to strengthen the bonds between the nations of Esferos.
"Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Annual Royal Ball of Nalibia! It is an honor to host you all here tonight. Let us cast aside our titles tags and revel in the beauty of unity and friendship," he declared, his smile infectious. He continued, "Tonight is not just about royalty and wealth, but about celebrating the tapestry of cultures that make our continent so vibrant. We are all equal under the stars of Nur, and it is our shared experiences that will illuminate our future together."
This is the Red Carpet Event, the opening event of the Royal Ball.
This event will start at 4pm with the theme being cultural fashion. Post a picture of the person on the red carpet in formal attire. Talk about the fashion; who made it, what is the cultural significance, statement or symbolism being displayed. Also talk about the person; who are they, how are they or their family important to your nation. Feel free to bring the person to life however you wish.

Jamaldine of House Nataye tried to be unseen at the tea ceremony. He wasn't very good with people, and even worse talking to girls. He scanned the room looking for familiar faces that would hopefully approach him, while he desperately anticipated and waited for his buddies to arrive. In all, the events his parents made him attend, were never as bad as he imagined them to be, and so far the Royal Ball's tea ceremony was not different. The other youths sharing his table were pleasent company... Though he failed to remember some of their names, which filled him with anxiety, hoping they or someone would casually mention them.
He presented the table some homemade praline pecans. His favorite candy treat, a confection with a history as rich as its flavor. The melt-in-your-mouth treat is a cross between a cookie and a candy and it’s loaded with a cooked mixture of sugar, nuts, and vanilla, often ground to a paste for use as a pastry or candy filling, analogous to marzipan; also, a sugar-coated almond or other nutmeat. He felt at ease watching his peers enjoy the dessert, it was in his mind as though they were enjoying him as well.

Lucius Valaris III - Noon Tea
The young Lucius Valaris the Third walks into the tea room, and is hushed by his bodyguard Crass before he can make a fool of himself and his lateness.Lucius is a bit of an addict when it comes to lunaluma currant cakes. He has six of them stacked on his small tea plate. The lunaluma cakes are palm-sized, and are shaped like golden half-moons with currant filling as well as a powdered sugar coat. They’re a common snack in southern Nouveauterra, where currants and similar grapes are plentiful. Lunalumas are so common that the rich and poor alike eat it. It’s sometimes used as a canary for whether people have spare income; if a person can’t afford even a lunaluma for themselves or a child, they’re very low on funds.
Lucius is excited to be around people. The gadfly is always up for a party, at the expense of actual business tutelage and learning. He does have an ulterior motive for this very public outing. Lucius wants to find Stella Niewhus, his ex-girlfriend from his days at Université Ferax.

The two sisters Daluchineke and Fumnanya of House Abdeslam, sat near a window taking in the elegent scene as other guest hobnob around the room. Near them is a Crunch Cake, a sweet and slightly tangy cake that is a true Nalibian staple. This moist yellow cake features a nutty top that contrasts with the coconut and vanilla extracts inside. It's finished with a light sugar glaze that adds just the right amount of sweetness. The cake is a popular dessert in the Empire of Nalibia, with each family having their own unique twist to the toppings. In this case the girls' cake is topped in chocolate.
Daluchineke, the elder sister's, mind raced with excitment, thinking of the coming ballroom dance. Making new and reconnecting with old friends from around the world. Fumnanya the younger, on the other hand was just trying to get through the day. She'd much rather play online video games where her actual friends were. Both sisters understood the the need to attend the event. Networking with future world leaders meant a chance to leave a mark on the world, something they had been raised to value and chase after their entire lives.

Stella Niewhus and Uva Dolphin - Noon Tea
Stella Niewhus enters the tea hall tailed by her publicist Zana and her best friend Uva Dolphin. The two friends are an oddity of genuine friendship in a cutthroat world.Stella and Uva are sipping on Pic Blanc tea from a small tea company called Freres Eauplat. Pic Blanc comes from black berry trees that are in the incredibly high mountains of southern Nouveauterra. The blend is known for its naturally sweet flavor, and the incredible price necessary to even have a cup of it. Stella and Uva have many cups’ worth of leaves in their entourage.
Stella and Uva are both excited for the Ball. They had only been in the country as little children long ago. They saw Clara of the Volp Clan take the hand of King Cherut Mayrah of House Armoni in marriage. Being back again as fresh twenty-year-olds lets them have a new appreciation for the country. Stella is also here on some business. Stella wants to create her own record label and her father Walter approves, but she needs her own funds to get that plane aloft. Rumor has it Theo Van Meer is a fan of the artists Stella produces for. Maybe if Stella can grant him access to his favorite stars, he’d be willing to foot the bill for a joint musical venture in Santalmont.

Lord Gustave Crassus
Gustave Crassus, eldest son of The Marquis of Penguie, very much enjoyed his tea … Serenity Coast Gold, of course … along with the delicious cakes and sandwiches, spreads and toppings that made it an event. It wasn’t unusual for him to spend a couple of hours relaxing over tea with friends and then have just enough time to change for dinner.
The Tea Ceremony at this Nalibian Ball was exquisite. Everything was just as it should be, with a couple of tasty surprises added in for local flavor. Lovely!
His mother, Lady Ineptia, had been the one to suggest he attend this event. He was twenty-two years old and, although he had many friends, had no serious girlfriend. It was an opportunity he should not pass up; she had insisted. He resisted at first … after all, he resisted all of her suggestions as a matter of course … but then it became trendy and so many of his friends would be attending anyway, so he relented. He had almost missed the deadline to RSVP, but his father had pulled a few strings and well, here he was.

Theo Van Meer - Noon Tea
Theo Van Meer sits at the enormous Nalibian tea-hall alone. He sips a tea that seems almost unbecoming of a young man of his status, Te d’Braconnier. Translating as the poacher’s tea, it is a tea that is blended with petrified berries. It’s more commonly sipped straight by farmers and gamesmen, however Theo likes his mixed with milk and honey. The strangely decadent commoner’s tea is very much on brand for a young boy reluctantly being groomed to rule.Theo’s anxious. The relaxing evening has been molded into a horse-race by Theo’s father Ludo. Ludo’s coaching says it is a great business opportunity to connect with other young adults of his stature, and forge future alliances. This coaching is because Theo is the leading son of the family by terrible coincidence; Theo’s older brother Robert died in a boat crash with four others two years prior. Theo is the next great son, but will he be the crooked reflection of his brother Robert’s potential, or forge his own path in a new era? Before any of this is possible, he must make the ultimate choice, biscuit or scone?

Welcome to the Royal Palace in Sheva Province's Capital city of Cyro, Nalibia.
"Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Palace of Cyro," Queen Culela Gail's melodious voice resonated through the grand foyer, her smile as warm as the sun-dappled marble beneath the attendees' feet. The air had the scent of exotic blooms and the faint sound of a harp playing a delicate tune, setting a serene atmosphere for the opening event of the Royal Ball. Her eyes danced with excitement as she greeted each guest with a grace that could only be taught by generations of royal lineage.
This is the Tea Ceremony, the opening event of the Royal Ball.

Emergency edict no.1 - Viatic Ocean
in Roleplay - How the West Was Won
Posted
The United Republics of Fauthur is breaking news this evening, as Kerglom Hafth, Head of the Fauthur Government has enacted an emergency edict to allow for unregulated industrial waste dumping into oceans not inside thier naval borders. The edict allows for any industrial waste, that means nuclear, textiles, colors, acids and non usable materials to be disposed of, offshore into the Viatic Ocean.
Emperor Adebimpe Similola address the nation this evening stating, "We cannot stand idly by while the seas that cradle our lands are poisoned," he declared, "The actions of The United Republics of Fauthur are a blight upon the very essence of our shared world, and we must act to protect not only our own shores but the global ecosystem as a whole. It is water that gives us life, we depend on it not only for liesure on our lakes and beaches, but the very food it provides and the rain it carries over our lands."
Empress Azaliah Tamar when asked, if other nations would support actions being taken against The United Republics of Fauthur. Responed, "The Kingdom of Zoran as enacted harsh sanctions against Fauthur, we plan to mirror these sanctions, and are calling on our allies and neighbors to collectively condemn the actions of The United Republics of Fauthur. Together, we will impose these sanctions with the full force of our combined economies. The United Republics of Fauthur will learn that there is a cost to their recklessness, and that the world will not tolerate their disregard for the sanctity of our oceans."
Imperial Queen Ammani Xianyuan, was in the Imperial Press room to answer questions concerning both the impact of the sancions aginst Fauthur and the impact of such waste being dumped into our shared waters.
Imperial Queen Ammani Xianyuan: "The health of our oceans is vital to the prosperity of Nalibia," she assured the crowd. "The sanctions are a necessary step to ensure the well-being of our citizens and the preservation of our planet's delicate balance."
NBN (Nalibia Broadcast Network) Reporter: "Your Highness, how will these sanctions affect our economy? Won't the citizens of Nalibia suffer?"
Imperial Queen Ammani Xianyuan: "While we anticipate some short-term challenges, we are a resilient nation. We have diversified trade partnerships and the wisdom of EUEI to guide us through this turbulent time. Our economy will adapt. The true cost would be the destruction of our environment and the health of our people, should we remain silent in the face of such egregious violations."
INA (Imperial News Agency) Reporter: "What of the potential retaliation from Fauthur?"
Imperial Queen Ammani Xianyuan: "Our empire has weathered storms before. We stand firm in our belief that our actions are just, and we will do whatever it takes to protect our lands and our people."
IJ (Independant Journal) Reporter: "Your Highness, can you elaborate on the potential effects of Fauthur's waste dumping on Nalibia's coastline and ecosystem?"
Imperial Queen Ammani Xianyuan: "The illegal dumping of industrial waste, including nuclear materials, will not only disrupt marine life but could lead to widespread contamination of our fishing grounds and coral reefs. The ocean is a delicate web of life, and if even one strand is torn, the entire ecosystem may unravel. The long-term effects are incalculable, but we do know that our citizens' health and livelihoods are at stake." Queen Ammani's expression grew solemn as she considered the gravity of the question. "The consequences can be dire, but it is important to remember. Fauthur has not yet dumped waste into the Viatic Ocean and most importantly, not into our gulf yet. We are merely making The United Republics aware of our stance and our willingness to take actions against their activites."
Iruka: We will keep you informed of new developments on this, and other news affecting our great Empire.
