[spoiler]Most of the stories in the last Fortunate News are no longer canon to me, so I’m just going to restart it.[/spoiler]
FN - Uproar In The North!
Following the shocking speech yesterday by our glorious leader, protests and rioting broke out in Eridani Theta, our neighbor of the North. In his speech, our glorious leader requested for the state to join with Fortuna as one nation.
“My wish is for all citizens within the Spes Region to be able to freely work and travel wherever they please as free, Fortunan citizens!” - Tristan Lytle
This was followed by nationwide approval by all Fortunans, however in Eridani Theta it is a different story. Many supporters of joining with Fortuna in Eridani Theta went to the streets to show their support, causing nationwide panic. This soon led to Aran Lucius, Supreme Chancellor of Eridani Theta, calling in the military to put out the voices of the people, causing even more chaos. It is still unsure of the safety of the many Fortunans currently within Eridani Theta, but our glorious leader has demanded that they be kept safe or else there will be consequences. The government of Eridani Theta has not responded to the proposal given by our glorious leader, but Catone Palerma, current Southern Chancellor and supporter of joining Fortuna, gave news reporters his opinion on the matter.
“We have just now been given a chance to finally reunite as Fortunans once more, so I will not stop until that is so.” - Catone Palerma
Eridani Theta once was part of Fortuna during the First Fortunan Empire, being colonized in the late 1200s. However, after the Great Civil War, the island broke away just like the three states, sending them swirling away into chaos. It wasn’t until the mid 1900s when their former leader Eldur Mironov united the separated provinces to form Eridani Theta. Many believed him to be the Chosen One, however this turned out not to be true and many unity supporters now see him as the predecessor to our glorious leader.
From the start, our glorious leader’s goal was to reunite the Fortunan Empire, starting with the Fortunan Archipelago and then the Medium Islands. Eridani Theta is the last island that needs to join to reform the Empire. Currently, the representatives of Eridani Theta are meeting in the Hall Building to discuss what shall be done. Hopefully the make the right decision.
Glory to the High Commander!
