“From the office of the Ministry of War, under command of Princess Nulia,
My fellow Fjordlanders. Many of you have questioned the rise of military spending within this past year.
Investments in our fleets have doubled and we have issued recruitment drives under the guise of committing major offensive operations in Firnfeld.
However, that was not the complete truth. To be truthful, certain allies with aligned interests have been secretly helping prepare the way for major operations against targets in not only Firnfeld, but Yesha, and Anglea.
The culmination of those efforts was in the recent war between Yesha and Anglea. A war which decimated both sides and resulted in them trespassing upon our lands in search of these allies. Playing right into a glorious trap, for the finishing blow.
I am proud to say that just a short time ago, our fleet under the command of the Lord Baron of Ravenrook and overseen by her royal highness personally, did indeed obliterate them in one swift stroke. Cutting down the arrogant fools who dared set their boots upon these lands.
So now my fellow Fjordlanders, it is up to us, to march down this path which our allies have forged for us. To strike back at Yesha and Anglea for their transgressions!
For that cause, our brothers and sisters in Chaladon have sided with us. With their help, we will launch this glorious war of retribution and our two nations shall no more bend a knee to those who seek to control us! Nor those who seek to pillage us and keep us in fear!
Their Northen Pact is weak and ripe for the fall, but they haven’t given up. Even now after a defeat at our hands, they are marshalling whatever insignificant forces they can. But do not fear, our cause is righteous! The Black Channel Coalition will not be defeated!
Let them slap all the guns they want onto their peasant ships! It will do them no good when our guns wipe them from the skies and our warships fly over their capitals!
Join us my brethren! For the glory of the Fjordlands! For Princess Nulia!
Join The Black Channel Coalition!”

The Crimson Sky Menace request the protection of the Black Channel Coalition against the Northern Pact.
Despite having once fought fiercely under the Anglean banner, there is fear now of our members being handed over to Yesha to be prosecuted over alleged criminal activity on Blue Veil soil in the past (these charges we continue to contest).
Our refusal to enter into the Pact has painted our clan members as turn-coats. Their war of revenge has spilled into an attack on our mercenaries, merchants, and associates.
There is no other way to answer their "with us or against us" demands. Our hand is being forced -- turn-coat we shall be.
Though we acknowledge the sadness that would come having to face our former Ryder allies in battle, we offer our services to the war effort under the command of the Coalition, until such time as this conflict is resolved and the safety of our members secured.
Number of Ships: 3
Port Hailing From: Our members and associates hail from all across the red sands of the Burren. Our deployment is currently encamped somewhere between Fallow and Paritus.
