In light of the dishonest dealings of the Duomish, we are forced to consider any cease-fire with them to no longer be in effect. Until such a time as that nation has been brought to heel and forced to sign the treaty which we have presented to them, there will be not ceasation of hostilities. It is for this reason, we are now announcing that any that wishes it, may receive a letter of marque for the purposes of waging war as a freebooter against Duom.
Already have we secured basing rights in near by Sheenish territories for the purposes of this campaign. If any should feel their blood burn for justice, let them go to that canal of the Sheenish and let them take up arms there. As of this moment, all of the Duomish are declared Neiþing until such a time as that nation surrenders.
To: The R.A.F. Command
As too much time has elapsed, we hereby ask that you provide us with basing so we might pursue a campaign against Duom.
We are willing to provide you with four warships (01-KSnS, 06-KSlS, 10-KKtS, 11-KKtS) on a temporary basis in order to help with your expansionism, on the basis that any islands that they help you conquer be considered free ports to the Hansa in perpetuity and that we be allowed to base military forces out of their ports for a hundred (120) years, with an allowance being given for the basing being suspended during times of war.
We await your reply.

We hope this letter finds you well.
We accept this deal. Her Majesty's Government has long had their eyes set on holding the gateway to the Duomish strait, and the dire state of war we find ourselves on calls for desperate measures.
We will take an island to the South of us, that we have named Estremoz. You will be given basing rights there.
Best Regards,
His Excellency General of the Army and Chief of the RAF António Nunes de Sousa

Upon review of your situation, the Privateers' guild as well as up to 29% of the Mercenaries' guild have pledged their full favor of establishing a letter of marque for all unions of said respective guilds. As such, expect to see Daenish ships in passing soon.
To prevent possible fraud and thus to ensure business is conducted properly, each ship will carry documents proving their membership with one of the unions, as well as a certification of membership with the Privateers' guild. Should a ship be found without these documents, they may be subject to martial punishment for piracy.
With honor,
Speaker Burk of the Grand Naval Syndicate of Ymir.

In response to the blockade, all Asderaordian merchant vessels are ordered to port, and rationing is begun within Asderaordia to help avoid starvation. All non Asderaordian Merchant vessels are asked to use the eastern route and don't use the northern passage. The Asderaordian fleet will be sending a cruiser squadron north to try and prevent any ships from entering the Asderaordian sea

Due to the escalating nature of the situation, six more vessels were dispatched to join the freebooters and help raid the Duomish trade. The message from the Ymiri was likewise met with joy and their offer was accepted, with the military allowing anyone that wished to join a letter of marque under the current government conditions. Prizes are to be bought at a hundred Pounds Sterling per ton of displacement. The Raikh gets first refusal on cargo, but the men are otherwise free to sell it at whatever price they want and to anyone they want.
The Hebiðdräkh af Kreg seeing the need to harmonise these disparate elements likewise issued a set of advised operational standards and behaviours for all forces.
This brings my forces for this to 01-KSnS, 06-KSlS, 10-KKtS, 11-KKtS, 16-KKtS, 17-KKtS, 18-KKtS, 19-KKtS, 16-KStS, and 17-KStS. So that is three (3) heavy cruisers (1 without torpedoes), one (1) light cruiser (no torpedoes), and seven (7) destroyers (torpedoes). Plus, five (5) converted merchant ships. Oh, and the eighteen (18) Ymiri pirate ships.

The Leitilsflauhaz was sailing to the north of Asderaordia when a plume of smoke emerged over the horizon, as the dedicated scouting ship she moved to investigate. Up on the crows nest Hermeric fumbled around for the Binoculars excited as this was his first spotting on this mission. As he focused his binoculars on the horizon he began to wonder what he had found as the plume of smoke seemed larger than any he had seen before, then a moment later he realised what was happening as the plume began to split apart and he began to see 6 no 7 plumes with more appearing as the ship moved towards the smoke and the Masts began to appear. 3 Dreadnoughts loomed over the horizon as Hermeric scrambled down the crows nest and into the bridge and relayed this to Captain Wisimar who order the ship around and Hermeric back up the crows nest to see any other ships.
Back up the crows nest Hermeric again trained his eye on the horizon as the ship spun about headed for Câmara de Lobos for shelter. After the 3 dreadnoughts there seemed to be further plumes of smoke as the shillouete of a group of merchant vessels came over the horizon along with at least a few other warships.

Two men and a woman approached the rebelions parliament building. The were all hooded in dark grey robes and slipped carefully through the people outside skillfully avoiding attention. The two men broke off from the group and slipped down an alley way nearby while the woman aproached the building. The guards outside searched her quickly looking through the black case she was carrying, finding nothing except the gleaming brass of a trombone. The woman kept up a constant chatter in perfect Seract with no accent about how they were invited to play for the parliament and how her fellow players would be along soon. The guards searched her thoroughly but not noticing the hidden compartment underneath the instrument. The woman moved through the doors and seeing this the two men slipped out the alley and walked toward the guards. The guards saw nothing except a gleaming trumpet and tuba.
The three of them quickly moved through the palace, avoiding the gaze of the people inside. They breezed to where the parliament was supposed to be sitting, they lay the cases they were carrying down outside the door and with a click snapped them open. They took out the instruments and lay them carefully on the ground. they then flipped open the bottom of the case to reveal their weapons. They each strung the rifle around their shoulder, took the pistol and put it at their waist for easy access and buckled the knife securely. When they were ready the older man pushed open the door and entered the chamber.
The older man steped forward and began addressing the assembly, the other two made their way around the room and took positions near the exits. Suddenly, the woman interupted speaking in Moderelian "There are only 6, where are the other two?". A gurgling was heard as the young man guarding the doors throat was slit by one of the assembly. The woman was quick to draw her weapon however two of the members managed to slip around a corner and disapear. A dark expression crossed to womans face as she turned to the other members of the assembly, and with 6 cracks of the pistol the parliament of Asderoardia was dissolved.
Knowing the guards would have heard the shots the two took up positions around the room and began defending their position vigourously until the rain of artillery fire leveled the building, burrying both the assassins and politicians in the rubble.

Ultimatum to the DuomishYour nation dances at the edge of annihilation, your ancestors cry for what is to come. If you wish to avoid such a fate as is in store for you, then listen well and acquiesce to our demands. We will lift our blockade of your lands if you assume the debt that is rightfully yours. You must pay us for the monies we have lost and take responsibility for all debts owed to the Sheenish, making payments amounting to a value of 70.435,2 tons of twenty-two karat gold. If you do this, we will withdraw our ships. |

Captain Basilium stood on the deck and with binoculars to eyes watched the Sadler disappear beyond the horizon knowing they wouldn't cause more trouble. Further back amongst the merchant ships the men huddled in silence just waiting to be let off the ship...

A Treaty was handed to the Sadler and read as follows To whomever, it would concern We wish to establish a peace treaty between our nations where You refrain from Asderaordian Waters and We shall assume debt to the value of 4 trillion to be owed to Sheen and all hostilities shall be ceased The reply was simple and it was straight to the point. Being returned to the Duomish was an already signed and stamped treaty which they only needed to add their signatures to along with an identical copy which also needed their signatures. The identical copy had written on its tag 'For Immediate Return'. |

We, the forces of the Raikh, do agree to neither pirate nor harass nor shoot at any Asderaordian/Duomish ships and to refrain from waters which we have every right to travel through, for a period of five (5) years from the signing of this agreement. This cessation of hostilities is to be undertaken upon the assumption of all debts of the Raikh by the Asderaordian/Duomish people and the government of the Federated States of Asderaordia, a successor state to Duom Asderaordia, or any future successor states and peoples that might come into existence.
Signatures:
- President Igor Predive
- Fluttkatilfaðs Gainas

 Captain Basilium watched as the ships started landing and the Soldiers pouring onto the beaches followed closely by a mass of men and women lugging axes and tools who were quick about chopping what wood they could find to begin construction of piers to allow the ships to berth and unload the further materials needed for the beginnings of new settlements. Some of the Soldiers began expeditions into the interiors of the lands before them looking for any signs of habitation, which apart from the mainland part was nonexistent. The Mainland part however saw the attack on the Soldiers by some natives who managed to kill a few before their spears were proved ineffective by rifle fire and soon fire from one of the dreadnoughts sent them running back into the jungle. |

With the cease fire signed, the ships of the Raikh were withdrawn. Naturally, any wishing to annul their letters of marque and continue on were welcome to, but for the time being, official naval hostilities have been concluded.
For the purposes of dating, this is all 1902.
