Apologies for the lateness, just been promoted at work, and things are a bit crazy. The orders are brief, but fairly straight forward. The Republic of Kaeir, disappointed at the disappearance of peace, still nevertheless is committed to supporting its proto-republican friends in Taltheran, whilst continuing its own internal developments. Ibrahim ------- Action 1 (Single): Raise Tal Legion. Expeditionary Commander Basiluddin and Consul Jafaarsan call for a revolutionary crusade to aid Kaeir's brothers in Taltheran, calling for volunteers to enlist in a Tal Legion to help once and for all rid the Midsea of the hated royalist spawn of Agrigax. The emigrant republican Houses from Taltheran are particularly encouraged, the vast majority of whom are hardline Tallist republicans. And so the call to arms goes out across the Republic for many a brave young patriot to join the struggle for liberty and the Republic. A force of 10,000 is expected to be raised, comprised largely of Taltherani emigrants and militant republicans.
