StA lays claim to Farra Isla

A number of our ports are on the mainland near them and thus our ships will most likely be encountering  them...

I hope you don't ally yourself with the Harpies, because we're pretty sure we will be constantly at war with them...

*translated*

For various circumstances, we are claiming rights to the island of Farra. This will not be a proper part of the lands of Armok's Blood, but considered a procterate, and we are assigning ourselves as guardians in charge of keeping the island stable and the harpy numbers manageable, coincidentally providing us with a large number of healthy and sentient sacrifices to keep our god appeased and sated, (a state in which he has no desire to burst forth and drown the world in magma, which I think we can all appreciate), or befriending the harpies and making them our number one allies against the potentially vile windsufers or whoever it is that lives in Hanlit, who will coincidentally will manage to serve the same sacrificial purpose if things don't work out with them and we pursue a Harpy friendship.

Unlike Armokumid Ker Nazush, this claim is not an exclusive one. We are willing to allow others who are friendly or allied to settle on this island for trade purposes, adventure, mutual cooperation, or whatever reason, as long as we have no reason to believe you are a threat to our own power their.

Certain rules will be abided by, however.

1. You will match our approach with the natives. If we are at war with the Harpies, we were always at war with the harpies, and you're also at war with the harpies (or at least neutral). Aiding them will be considered an act of hostility, and we reserve the right to slaughter you like pigs. In the same vein, if we happen to be friendly with the harpies, we were always friendly with the harpies, and attacking them will be considered an act of hostility and you will be slaughtered like pigs. Hopefully because they ask us to. Then we can be better friends! ^vvv^

2. You, obviously enough, will not attempt to attack our settlements, destroy our armies, damage sovereign squares or otherwise initiate hostilities against us, nor will you lay a counter claim or challenge our ultimate sovereignty over the island in any way. If you do, you will be slaughtered like pigs.

3. You will allow the church of Armok to operate freely in your cities and its missionaries to pass unhindered through any parts of the island you happen to occupy, and you will institute no rules against the conversion of your own citizens or the practice of said religion among their number.

That is all, and we hope Farra Island can prove a bastion of cooperation and birth a new relationship with many of you in our war against/alliance with the Harpies.

If anyone wishes to discuss our uncontested sovereignty or the details of such, here is the place and now is the time.
