We, the united kingdoms, tribes, and peoples of greater Illyria, and their stalwart allies and loyal subjects, can no longer stand for the treacherous and malignant actions of the Roman Republic.

They have, among other crimes against us, against our friends and allies, and against the gods, provided material aid for armed enemies of Illyria, schemed to usurp rulership of the free peoples of the Rhine and of Gallia, and brought untold devastation and suffering to the once-great cities and academies of Syracuse. Any one of these intolerable acts on its own would be cause enough for war.

Thus, in order to bring the leaders of the Roman Republic to justice and to prevent their outlaw state from inflicting any further harm upon their ostensible allies and false friends, we hereby declare war on the Roman Republic.
