The Old Gods speak to us

"February 12 4555, a Light Earth Quake occurred in your country.
29240 people died immediately and 83850 people were wounded.
More details will be reported later."

Global conflict, natural disaster and the King taken ill. These latest series of Earthquakes across Batavia and her Dominions are but the latest sign of their messages.

At first, an echo, a whisper, a laugh. Now it is plain for all to see.

Batavians everywhere flock to their temples. We embrace the message of the Old Gods and surrender ourselves to their malevolent mercy.

For those that send helicopter relief forces, a blessing, for the Gods hunger for sacrifice.

Repent.

repent and Altman be praised

Make us whole

Crescent Dawn offers it's deepest regret that it is unable to send aid at this time.

You see some midlevel bureaucrats have foolishly depleted the Nation's treasury by authorizing community development grants to some greedy CEOs. Those businessmen have torn down all our boarded up temples and constructed huge weapons plants on the sites.

It seems we now have a boatload of cruise missiles but we'll just send thoughts and prayers instead.

Prayers are good, missiles better!

But we thank you for the support. The Old Ones look kindly upon you this day.
