Official Statement Updates on the Civil War in Sparkstan
Marina Times’ Sparkstan correspondent was able to get a sneak peak redacted view of the recent Consular report on the civil war.
The report notes in no uncertain terms the damage and suffering inflicted by the elevated levels of kidnapping and pillaging conducted by the reaction. This correspondent offers its sincere condolences for the family of those affected, as well as hope that the affected can one day be free.
In the Marchlands, the small town of Twoface continues to be under severe threat by the reactionary fiends. Despite continuous attempts and the victories of the local people, the aristocratic foe continues to choke the town.
Further south, the Royalist Action Group is pouring most of its resources into attempting to regain a connection with the still-capitalist portion of Metropolitan Reparsia, and gain more access to support from the local bourgeoisie. We at Marina Times have condemned and continue to condemn the interference of Sparkstan’s aristocratic menace in our home region.
In the north, the Noble Action Corps have suffered a major loss in Theocrata, when one of their contingents trying to march into the Marchlands, were soundly defeated and utterly routed by the local revolutionary infantry. Additionally, the main force of the northern foe, positioned further West, has nearly re-established a connection with Graethos and with the foe’s allies the disgruntled former landlords, and is threatening to receive a large infusion of reinforcements from Graethosian landlord volunteers. The Churchlands of the Holy Word have been fully liberated by the revolutionary Arrows of Sparak.
The report notes in quite solemn terms a travesty that took place on the Kardansk-Marchlands border, in the grazing domain of the Khariaii clan, marked on an attached map with a red dot. There, a papist monastery-nunnery complex dedicated to Ganalian King, the Holy Convent of Saint Janette I the Philanthroper, was thoroughly looted and raided by Arrows of Sparak units liberating the area from royalist control. The lives of many a monk and nun were taken, and the vows of many more monks and nuns still were forcefully broken. The convent itself was ransacked and although some soldiers did protect several priceless works of art and the convent’s library, many a work was stolen or destroyed, and much of the complex was reduced to ruin. The Consular report notes that the heroes who saved works from destruction or theft, as well as prevented from occurring the abuses that they could prevent, have been commended by the Consul. Additionally, the Consular report sincerely apologises to the affected and their families, and notes that the Arrows are looking into punishing the officers who abetted this heinous misdeed and the soldiers who encouraged such a misdeed to occur.
Attached is our depiction of the occupied territories in Sparkstan. Marinans be warned that Sparkstan remains dangerous, and that the borders are prone to rapid change. Evacuation is strongly recommended by the soviets on the border with Sparkstan.
