Imperial Chancery breaks silence on Potthan Crisis
___________________________________________
In a statement released by the Imperial Chancery earlier this morning, Right Chancellor Tao Xiuying declared that "the benevolence of the Most Heavenly State has progressed for too long towards the Potthani state" and that it is time for "action to be taken against the illegal regime of Potthan and for its government to answer for its blatant breach of human rights and crimes against humanity."
"A formal declaration has been conceived and issued for review by Her Most Glorious Majesty," his eminence stated during an interview with Women Shengyin. "There is an understated sense of urgency in the matter. I have within myself the utmost faith and trust in Her Most Glorious Majesty to make the correct decision in this delicate matter."
In preparation for a truly auspicious endeavour against one of many Sunless Realms, Her Most Glorious Majesty's Armed Forces have begun a partial mobilisation in anticipation for Her Most Glorious Majesty signing off on the punitive measures declaration. In addition, a representative of Her Most Glorious Majesty's Empire has been dispatched to a summit convened by the Republic of Vectors for the explicit purpose of organising an international coalition.
Her Most Glorious Majesty is expected to have made a decision on the matter in three days time. █
Giant Squid shrine officially consecrated
___________________________________________
Originally, the squid was to be eaten for the upcoming Moon Festival that weekend, however, a priestess of the Orshool School stopped the villagers and declared the giant squid to be an acolyte of the sea goddess, Dalai. The giant squid, which measured 11.7 metres and weighed some 268 kilogrammes, washed up in the fishing village of Segen following a deadly thunderstorm that left an elderly man dead. The squid became a local attraction as the village soon found itself an unofficial pilgrimage sight for many worshippers of Dalai.
The veneration of the Giant Squid was conducted by Priestess Nergüi Chanai, senior priestess for the local Orshool sect. "The bounties of the sea are truly a sign of the affection of Our Lady of the Sea. This humble appreciation for her domain is but one of the many thanks we can give to the Blessed Lady." Chanai wrote in the veneration declaration.
The reaction from the hamlet was largely positive. "It is a humongous honour," Segen Mayor Lian Jun said."This just goes to show how blessed and bountiful our oceans are." █
