Akiiryu Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 ******* Akiiryan News Network ******* The Baronic Council announced today that P'Theodanaric, Prince of the Akiiryans, died in his sleep last night at the age of 77. The cause of his death was not provided. The Baronic Council immediately announced a two week period of mourning. The Prince will be succeeded by his eldest son P'Neonaric (OOC: not his eldest child, who is a woman, P'Yaojaith. Akiiryans have something similar to Salic Law). Aged 35, the new Prince of Akiiryu is the most highly educated individual ever to sit on the Antlered Throne. He speaks a number of languages fluently and holds a double doctorate in History and Political Science from Vanarambaion's renowned Katana University. Prince P'Neonaric is married to Katherine, the sister of Emperor Tinsman of Vanarambaion. They have two children. Link to comment
Tagmatium Rules Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 (edited) OOC: is the most highly educated individual ever to sit on the Antlered Throne By Akiiryan and Vanarambaion standards, right? Still an uncultured, barely educated barbarian, though. Anyhow... IC: Holy Imperial Press Statement. Although rarely on the best of terms, Akiiryu and Tagmatium have a long history of interaction. The Greater Holy Empire mourns the death of Prince Theodanaric, as one should mourn the death of all great men. This has been the second time this month that Europa has lost one of the leading men in its politics, and the Greater Holy Empire is saddened by this double blow. Tagmatium will put all flags on half mast for the duration of next week, as befits the passing of such a man, even though his nation has almost consistently acted against Tagmatium. Tagmatium honours a good enemy as much as a good ally. EDIT: Had to finish Bold-ness thing Edited September 24, 2005 by Tagmatium Rules (see edit history) Link to comment
Akiiryu Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 OOC: Tag, you get more like SG everyday. LOL IC: The Prince, Baronic Council and people of the Sublime Principate of Akiiryu thank the people of the Greater Holy Empire of Tagamatium for their noble gesture. Link to comment
Haken Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Chef Willy sends flowers and HcDonalds have released a special P'Theodanaric burger in honour of the Prince. Link to comment
The Chosen Nations Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Relations between Akiiryu and TCN recently, so I have decided to save Akiiryu the ordeal of listening to my crocadile tears. P'Theodanaric was a averege leader: nothing to break the front pages of the press in TCN. Link to comment
Vanarambaion Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 The Holy Confederacy is horrified at the statements made by TCN at this most critical moment in international relations. All relations and trade have been cut from the upstart renegade nation, and the Vanarambaion High Command is considering a blockade of the TCN shipping lanes. This is a totally unnecessary escalation of previously tepid relations, and with the close relations between Akiiryu and Vanarambaion, we take this matter very very personally. On a personal note, the Holy Emperor himself will be present for ceremonies honoring the late Prince. The Vanarambaion Parliament has declared a similar two week mourning period for the Prince, which will be accompanied by services in his honor in the Church of Vanarambaion. Link to comment

Vanarambaion Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 OOC: I am chill. That is the way my nation would react. I'm not putting my own emotions in this at all. Link to comment
The Chosen Nations Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 OOC: horrified upstart renegade nation Vanarambaion High Command is considering a blockade of the TCN shipping lanes Is this reaction really realistic? Link to comment
Akiiryu Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 OOC: Yes, it is, if you know Vanarambaion and consider: 1. Vanarambaion-Akiiryan relations; 2. Vanarambaion/Akiiryan-TCN relations; and 3. Akiiryan and Vanarambaion culture. IC: The memory of P'Theodanaric has been dishonoured. The government of the TCN has grievously insulted not only the spirit of P'Theodanaric, but also his ancestors, desendants, the Antlered Throne, and the Akiiryan nation. Unless a full retraction and apology, accompanied by weregeld suitable for a Prince of Akiiryu, is presented by the government of TCN immediately the Prince, Baronic Council and people of Akiiryu will, as is dictated by our culture, exact revenge on the TCN. The people of TCN should count themselves lucky that in this time of mourning we have given them a chance to atone for their behaviour, our ancestors would not have been so forgiving. Link to comment
Bhalman Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 From the Desk of the Prime Minister: Although we haven't establish realations with your nation as of yet, but we feel that the death of such a noble and honored Prince must be respected and honored even by our small state.

We consider your condemnation of the dishonourable and insulting comments of TCN is demonstrative of the great nobility of the Emperor and people of Vanarambaion. By your actions, both in the mourning and in the defence of our beloved prince's memory, you honour not only the memory of P'Theodanaric, but also our nation.

Phil VII Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 The news of the Akiiryuian leaders death made the front pages in most newspapers across Philia (even in the always controversial 'Universal Times' which ran the story of P'Theodanaric being a visitor from outer space, notably Alpha Centuri, who had actually gone home to see his mum...) and king Phil V made this announcemnt today as he learned of the news. "We have all seen the news and been saddened by the passing of a great leader, although we did not always see eye to eye, i had a great respect for this man, and his passing is a sad day for the region. But rather than mourn, we should look to the future, and welcome in the son of P'Theodanaric, P'Neonaric, who we hope will do as good a job of furthering his people in this, our great region. Akiiryuian flags will be given the honour of flying in full on the empty flagpole outside the Imperial Palace this week as a mark of respect to the passing of a good man, and a sign of a continuing relationship between Philia and Akiiryu" Link to comment
