The Mouth of Valruzia (MoV) - November 13th, 3225
BREAKING NEWS: Attempt On Emperor's Life
Story By: Jan Marnowicz, Columnist
-Białograd, Wielkowalruzja
What began as a glorious independence day celebration turned into a panic of screams and echoes of gunfire. On Plac Wolności (Freedom Square) in downtown Białograd, the annual Independence Day Parade was in motion, celebrating the formation of the Valruzian Nation about 1769 years ago. As His Imperial Majesty approached the podium in the square to deliver the annual speech, several hooded figures pushed to the front of the crowd, where, to everyone's surprised, they proceeded to reveal handguns and opened fire at the podium. Needless to say, the Valruzian National Guard proceeded to subdue these individuals immediately, which were then taken into custody and detained. While no civilian casualties were reported, 3 of the Emperor's guard were killed in action. Unfortunately, the Emperor sustained grievous injury during the onslaught, and was immediately hospitalized into intensive care. No further report is available on the Emperor's health at this time.
The terrorists responsible were detained in the Białograd Detention Facility, where it was discovered that their effects were of Kalistani origin. On one of the personal blades of the terrorists, the Kalistani national motto, "In vino veritas", was found engraved into the metal. In addition to this, one of the persons was carrying several notes of Kalistani Rubles, the official currency of Kalistan.
The following statement was issued by the Chief of the Valruzian Intelligence Agency, Lord Tomasz Chelminek:
While the situation in the Capital remains precocious, the local police and the National Guard are doing everything in their power to keep the peace and to resolve this crisis. This media body will strive to provide updates on the situation as they become available.
Regiments of the Imperial Army march through the downtown core as part of the festivities

"...We will not be intimidated lightly. [The terrorists] will be questioned, and thorough background investigations into their pasts will be made, down to every transaction they had made, every interaction they took part in, every breath they took..." "...At this time, we have reason to believe that these individuals were Kalistani extremists, bent on the disruption and upheaval of the very foundations of Valruzia. It remains unknown whether any major foreign body can be linked to these attacks."
