[Detective100]

Following the fall of Blood Rose to Skarnfel's forces, the military force of Audhild had taken the long way back home to recuperate. In the months that followed, the armed forces had preoccupied themselves with preperations for war:

Extensive exercises.

daily target practices.

bolster their might by building cannons for siege warfare.

Training of warhorses, carriage horses, and warhounds.

As of today,  in the year 2078, the military is finishing up with their logistical preparations and get ready to march onward.

However, perhaps to Meranthe's surprise...

The military sets its sight not to the east, but west.

The target of the armed forces, who was neither Skarnfel or Sheol, had recieved a letter sent by an envoy to explain the situation:

---

Greetings, the Sainted Church.

Did you know that over eight years have passed since your attack on Final Frontier?

You might have forgotten about it already, hoping others will as well... But I haven't, nor has the people you have wronged.

I still remember it all clearly.

When you first declared war on Final Frontier threatening to destroy all animunculi, while trying to feign it as care to the tree of Hope, Solais, despite its caretakers' own disagreement.

When chaos reigned in the Sainted Church's hierarchy you were given both the offer of peace, only for it to be abused to gather reorganize and gather reinforcements to go back to war.

When you accused Final Frontier of containing dark secrets that never were, that during those eight years you have never bothered to prove even after you pilfered their vault for riches.

When you then failed to follow through with your casus belli to destroy the animunculi, to sate yourself with the treasures you stole in silence, your true casus belli.

I, and others among Audhild, find your actions as dodgy, gormless, manky, and intolerable.

Thus, we hereby declare war upon Sainted Church, with the following goal:

Capture the three main culprits, Palade Avincus, Adan/Kure Avincus, and Edward Aubreen, to be brought in for trials over their deeds.

I'll suggest to come peacefully if you want to have better chances at a fair trial. However, since I suspect your minds may have already gone to the dogs?

 Let it be known, no talks or attempts at diplomacy shall sway Audhild against following through with our declaration.
You, of the Sainted Church, have already tainted our trust when you tossed the chance for a peaceful resolution when it no longer suited you.
As such, you shall not be granted the luxury of peace, until either the three culprits are brought to justice.

Or, perhaps... Until the Sainted Church is no more.


-Benjamin Thomson. Councilman of Audhild.

Envoys were sent to other nations in Meranthe with the same letter, to brief the higher ups in each nation on the reason behind the march.
It is now up to them to decide... How shall their nation respond?


Main Objective:
Capture Palade Avincus, Adan/Kure Avincus, and Edward Aubreen to have them be sent for trial.
Secondary Objective:
Lay siege upon the Sainted Church until the main objective is done.
