I.M.T.U - Call for Intervention in Herwa

Nobel

"The Federal Republic of Auredia calls for all members of the International Maritime Trade Union to assist their fellow member-state of Herwa. As Herwa was one of the founding members of the I.M.T.U, and serves as a vital artery in the world economy, the fall of Herwa would be expected to hurt all nations."

"The Federal Republic invites the nations of: New Larak, Japuile, Icktenland, Böhaleya, to assist Auredia in military action against any and all opposing forces within Herwa. Ikobitestan is also invited, and is requested to allow I.M.T.U forces military access due to its proximity to Herwa."

"Failure to present any help, be it militaristic assistance, or materialistic assistance, will see your nation viewed in a far worse light by the Federal Republic of Auredia, as not only is Herwa at risk, but Auredia's missing diplomats may also be at risk. This situation is a catastrophic tragedy, and we must do everything within our power to assist our friends and allies across the sea."

"For prosperity, for greatness, for the I.M.T.U!"

Japuile

The Grand Duchy of Japuile has sent its liaison to the I.M.T.U. summit from the Grand Navy — Glory Moon, a mare with light gray eyes, hair the color of the night sky tied into a ponytail, and dark blue fur. She wears a liaison officer's uniform — simple in cut but adorned with liaison's insignia representing all branches of the armed forces. On her back, she carries a small device that allows her to instantly connect with headquarters via satellite, using a helmet equipped with internal headphones.

“The Grand Duchy of Japuile intends to initiate a swift liberation and clearance operation in San Pussia. We plan to establish an Outer Defensive Arc around the city. To achieve this objective, the following assets will be deployed:

A small invasion flotilla to provide transport and supporting firepower for ground forces. This includes two tankers capable of refueling the flotilla at sea.
Two OBRATs and a small heavy infantry battalion tasked with capturing, securing, and establishing a civil occupation authority.
A small EMP missile, intended to trigger a limited electrical disruption throughout the city. The detonation will be concentrated in zones where civilian casualties are expected to be minimal.
One aircraft carrier as part of allied aid.

Our primary short-term objective is the liberation of San Pussia under the banner of the Grand Duchy of Japuile.”

New-Larak

The Larakaen liason to the I.M.T.U., the wizened and grizzled mortal Lu-Shalim, approaches and clears his throat. On his loose robe is a large polished bronze broach with the Heart and Lions of his state's seal. His crisp voice reads from a letter:

"In support of the Herwan government, we intend to send our Red Division, headed by the Illustrious Arwi-A, for military support. Her division is on stand-by to portal to a mustering point once one is established."

Arwi-A, the Illustrious Steel Titan, could not remember for the life of her where she left her other greave. Her servants and retainers scrambled about nervously, sensing the wriggling waves of frustration in her mighty aura. The armor wasn't necessary (more of a hindrance, truly, as it was softer than the steel legs it covered,) but maintaining appearances was important, especially when meeting new people. The titan let out a sigh, creaking and shuddering, like mighty grinding girders before slowly standing up from her plush kneeling cushion. The humans running about, the tallest coming up to just below the curve of her chest, paused. Immediately the message was understood from aura sense and familiarity; just bring it later, if you find it.

Beautiful weather; the flat gray expanse of sky released heavy, plodding drops that made Arwi-A's steel skin and bronze armor sing. The empty streets spared her any of her usual traffic woes, which surely would be made worse by the news of a far-off war and her rather large backpack. The space to let her True Aura show was a blessing, if even for just several minutes. She was the last to arrive to the plain, cubic portaling building, with its commandeered reception area holding the other six Immortals in her division. Each equipped in matching bronze sets of armor (and, sadly, all having their greaves,) with packs, ready to move.

A cacophonous mix of auras filled the small room, with apprehension having a plurality. The incessant ring of each warrior's ley crystals took minutes for even mighty Arwi-A to tune out of her consciousness. Even so, it lingered, a potent tension, raw potential, fuel crying out for a spark; and a fortune, in economic terms, to any Larakaen.

To our esteemed allies at Federal Republic of Auredia,

The people of Ikobitestan hear your call. And though our strength may not lie in arms, our hearts, hands, and harvests are ready.

We extend humanitarian aid and logistical support to the Herwan front:

Our volunteer medics, clearly marked with bright orange X-marks in accordance with Ikobitestan’s non-combatant identification, are en route to provide care for the wounded and weary.
Food, medical supplies, and essential goods will be shipped upriver toward the affected regions.
We have retrofitted our horse-drawn wagons and cleared brick paths where foot traffic permits to enable smoother inland transport.
Our civil kitchens will serve warm meals to both displaced families and frontline volunteers.

All this is done not out of obligation, but in deep gratitude for Herwa's past kindness, and out of shared humanity.

While we withhold formal military deployment to support healing of our Armed Forces and respect the sovereignty of our volunteers, we offer our full cooperation in terms of logistics, aid, and field support, and are open to coordinating routes and medical staging areas with your forces.

Let it be known: we do not seek glory or recognition, only to ease the burden of those who suffer, and to honor the ties we’ve built across the sea.

For kindness, for healing, for the I.M.T.U, and for Herwa.

With respect,
Grove Assembly
Republic of Ikobitestan

Signed,
Lyra Phasma
President of the Republic of Ikobitestan
