So recently, [R] has amassed a large fleet of ships in the flooded area of the Grove. Their intentions are not known at this time, however, Lord Willakers pledged us to defend the Great Tree long ago, if this still applies, we must be ready. I've also heard that Lord Willakers took possession of the Grove at one of the last Roundtables, so we may be honor bound to defend the Grove regardless.

Here is a tactical map of the area: http://imgur.com/GsUyTar The area circled with black is the [R] fleet, the aqua zone is a possible Grove port with ships(Edit: turns out its not involved). The Great Tree is outlined in green, and the red area is what happened the last time the Great Tree felt threatened.

Should we enter this possible conflict, I suggest we construct some kind of steampunk, juggernaut ship to lay waste to all before it.

On a unrelated note, he's some really old Brickton/Grove wars pictures that I never uploaded before because I didn't have imgur back then: http://imgur.com/a/dUDhf
