D e c l a r a t i o n
Territorial claim on land of Arcana
by the IVORY TOWER Reservate
for the protection of endangered
wildlife
____________________________________________________
Orcs not only fill an important role in the monster
food chain of Olympia, they are are also noble and
sensible creatures. Their violant behaviour is an
expression of their inner need for love and
acceptance in this harsh world.
It has come to our attention that many species of
orcs (uruk sapiens), and other savage creatures
are facing great discrimination on the continent
of Arcana. Such grave mistreatment of mother nature
raised great concerns about the future of the balance
of the olympian ecosystem.
One example of late are the consequences brought by
recent intense colonial activity in the ocean that is
between the cities of Feynesse and Greystream.
Intensive shipping has not only drastically reduced
the population of a seldom species of vegetarian sea
orcs (uruk marus) found near the coral reefs of
Arcana, but also forced the remainder of the
population of armadillo - orcs, one of the oldest
and certainly smartest monsters of Olympia, into
their last retreats: The Wild Heart of Arcana.
As You read this line, this great last habitat
of these savages on Olympia is under the greedy eye
of a larger consortium of dishonest human colonial
imperialists. The sole aim of these bunch of scumbags
that play with all sort of trickery and diplomatic
deceit is to single mindedly exploit the natural
breeding grounds, caves, lairs and slave settlements
of orcs in the most brutal commercial way.
Clearly, this blow to the creature eco system will
be beginning of the end of the world as we know it.
These criminals will be stopped now, here, on Arcana!
Drastic problems need drastic measures!
As such, the High Council of the Ivory Tower under
Henry Hudson, Prof. Stargazer and Dr. Dog have
started to establish the first orc reservate on
Olympia, where orcs will be allowed to live and
breed happily without fear of beeing hunted or
enslaved just because 'they are savages!'.
- - - - - - - - - -
As of now, the lands that are defined by the
rectangle [ac40,ap48] are declared to be a nature
reservate under the sole authority of the Ivory
Tower.
All nobles that have or are planning to have dealings
are requested to declare their interest, ask for
appriopriate documents of permittance and seek
detailed travel advice before trodding on sacred
biological ground.
Any possibilities and desire of cooperation will be
taken seriously and treated in most professional
manner. Let us protect and use the recources of
mother nature in such way so that future
generations will prosper from our deeds.

The Yellow House and his Companions have landed on
the Island of Lhatica. Everyone thinking, that
we want to claim the whole Island of Lhatica as our domain,
is totally wrong. We want to live in Peace and Harmony with
all other Settlers on this Island. The only thing you all
have to know is, that we are well prepared to defend ourselves
in case of attacks. As soon as we will meet other settlers,
we will make contact to mark one's territory.

Hmm Still no lands claimed anywhere in Olympus.
How can this be? We started much later than the others and our castle
is almost finished. Maybe it was because they wasted time travelling to
an island? Maybe they got distracted by fair maidens or pigs or whatever
they prefer? Maybe they are just inept? Seems very high handed to claim
large areas of land without actually having a castle. Seems like a big
bluff to me. Oh well we are top ten for men so we might just have to test
some of these claims and see if these old guys have any teeth left.
