Shine on forever, benevolent sun... Posts: 430 Group: FEFFer Member #262 Joined: June 28, 2005	To whom it may concern, One extends kindest greetings to his peers and offers his deepest respects. To the mighty kings, emporers, queens and high priests of the world, one bows his head in the name of Yied and all who fall under its border. One would like to take a moment to discuss the horrific war that splits our continent in half. One is haunted with the deepest regret for the victims of this ordeal and opens his borders to all who are rendered homeless by this strife. Yied took its roots as an asylum for refugees and will proudly continue to serve to support them. In addition to the main order of business, this treatise will serve as an official declaration of neutrality until a time where this is no longer possible. Now, while one mourns the victims of war - the widows, the homeless, the dead - one fully understands the causes for it. Sometimes a man feels he deserves more than what he is given, or perhaps he seeks reparations for a crime against his people. As such, Yied opens its borders to marching armies. For the cost of twenty-five gold pieces per road used, the troops of any given nation may pass freely through Yied's borders. As set in negotiations with Arden of Miletos, one insists the roads into and out of Yied are counted - passing, for instance, from Barhara to Saxon will use four roads and come to a total of one-hundred gold pieces per man. While these prices may seem steep, one asserts that the costs of war are far worse. One would like to be certain his clients have fully considered the repercussions of taking a territory and are willing to pay for the oppurtunity to. Sincerest respects, King Tyranus of Elzor. Code: `Place details in the thread if you wish to request passage. Unless voiced otherwise, consider requests auto-accepted. [b]Nation:[/b] Who are you? [b]Troops:[/b] How many men? [b]Route:[/b] Which roads? [b]Total:[/b] (25roads used)number of men` First Addendum; Addressed by Arden of Miletos, one notes he didn't clarify the costs for the return trip. One only requests toll when Yied's roads are being used offensively. If the client is moving in defense of a distant ally or merely crossing Yied's borders, one asks for no payment. Second Addendum; Because of the public nature of this system, it is entirely possible the victims of an assault will not be particularly glad to hear of an incoming army. This clause may seem pure profiteering, but one would like to offer the defending party the option to counter the attacking party's offer. If you are offering more than the attacker is paying, Yied will decline them passage - but they may offer more gold to overturn this decision. Basically, it will then break down to a bidding war.
