To the people, things in the country of Flair were going great. They had a good relationship with their neighbors, the attacks from the nasty land of SCO had ceased due to it crumbling. They even started to build a relationship with what emerged from the ashes of SCO, TCT.
They were expanding, building new houses here and there. Making enough money from their hard work to buy more land to turn into more profits from their labor. Things were looking good and they were becoming quite a prosperous people. They even had a wealthy neighbor by the name of xWheeliebinns who came and joined Flair's towns people, offering his land to the people of Flair to expand their borders.
What the townsfolk didn't know however was that the elders of this nation were handling the issues before they even came to the people's ears. Those nice neighbors weren't so nice when it came to what they wanted from this small nation.
The elders of Flair put up with the demands of this neighbor named VODKA. and even helped them battle the tyrants of the SCO empire. When ever the leaders of VODKA. wanted something, they were very communicative with the elders of Flair, things were nice and there weren't any issues. However this was only the case when what VODKA. wanted was heavily in their own nation's favor. They did not want to share with the Flair nation at all and whenever Flair had a request it largely went ignored until something would come up that caused VODKA. to want something.
They took land deep in areas that Flair was expanding too. They refused to exchange this land for Flair's land in their own territory and many other things that just proved all that VODKA. nation wanted to do was use Flair as their cash cow. They didn't want to treat them as equals, they wanted Flair to do their work for them and just hand it over.
When a wealthy man from SCO decided it was time for him to leave the tyrant empire and he wanted to become a citizen of Flair VODKA. got very upset. They threatened war and all sorts of despicable things. Eventually the Flair elders convinced VODKA. to back down but the elders knew this wouldn't be the last time VODKA. made unreasonable requests of the quickly growing nation. It was times like this that the cracks began to forge.
Flair's elders knew that if things between them and the VODKA nation were to remain peaceful something had to be done. As they strode together in battle against the SCO hordes they achieved victory after victory but in VODKA.'s eyes, Flair was only in those battles to raise the VODKA. flag for them. VODKA. took no notice of the blood shed by the loyal citizens of Flair. Eventually the tyrant empire collapsed to it's knees and the relationship between Flair and VODKA. was going to go back to what it was before the horde arose. The elders of Flair and the leaders in VODKA decided to hold a round table like conference and hammer out an agreement and keep relations with each other. This was the start of the final crack between these two nations.
There was one thing of note to take from the agreements made at that conference. Each leader was to leave a messenger pigeon at the location of the conference so that the keepers could quickly send messages between the nations and communication would remain strong to fix any problems before they arose.
An agreement was made between the Flair elders and one of VODKA.'s leaders over a patch of land. One of the few areas still controlled by the fallen empire of SCO. The nations were to split it with the slightly larger portion going to VODKA. One of the leaders of VODKA however did not like this agreement so in a spiff or rage he stormed into the original meeting place, slayed one of the keepers, and took the pigeons that knew their way to his hold from the room. This was a clear breach of the agreement between the two nations and when Flair found out they were not very pleased at all.
They sent pigeons to the other VODKA. leaders to inform them of the situation and notify them that the agreement was broken. If it was to be repaired something must be done quickly. What they got in return was two houses of VODKA. not sending an answer, and the other saying it wasn't an important matter.
Their hearts sunk. At that moment they knew it was time to start to prepare. They couldn't continue to be treated like this and lead their people without having to lie to them. Something the elders refused to do. They sent pigeons to the entire land of VODKA. informing all of the citizens that the agreement between the two nations was over. It was at this time that the two houses who had ignored them finally replied. They exchanged messages for a short time but did not express desire to keep the nations united. The damage done on VODKA.'s side could only be salvaged by words from Flair which to this humble teller says all it needs to about relations.
Flair however received an interesting pigeon of their own. It originated from the lands of TCT, the nation that emerged from the tyrant empire of SCO. It seemed a group of the knights of TCT wanted to offer Flair their services. Flair knew that if they accepted these kind nobles into their lands that it would cause a war with the VODKA. nation. But they also knew that the VODKA. nation would never treat them as equals.
It is at this time that the Flair elders had one thing to say to the VODKA. leaders. They sent their pigeons to each citizen of the VODKA. nation with a very plain message.
They were going to war.
