The Patuanian Times
Patuanian Invasion of Imarati
August 2132
Telasha, Imarati- Military Correspondence
As the Southerners finally abandoned the unjust cause of Grand Duchess Helena, the Patuanian Expeditionary Armed Forces a crossed the border to restore order to the broken realm of Imarati, proclaiming Besarion as the true monarch of the small mountainous nation. Ever since the outbreak of the Imaratian Civil War, Patuania has quietly supported the efforts of Besarion and his traditionalists forces, clandestinely supplying them with weapons across the border.
Now Patuania openly supports Besarion’s Imarati as 10,000 soldiers and 200 tanks marched across the border under the command of Prince Voarok to restore order to Imarati under Besarion as part of the new alliance between the two nations, signed originally in secret between Paras Kanatus II and Patriarch Zakaria Melikishvili in Uugaatsiarniten. The new invasion is focused largely on the Imaratian coast, to defeat the last hold outs the Grand Duchess and the vast pockets of anarchy.
With the new invasion comes news of an engagement between King Besarion and Princess Kiayon, sister of the Paras. The engagement comes as a grim turn in regards not to Patuanian-Imaratian relations, but instead of Patuanian-Gosataborgian diplomatic relations, as it has long been lobbied by the Paras for the marriage of his sister to the Hereditary Prince Ragnar, which has iced relations between the countries. Patuania now turns it’s attentions to Imarati.
