Mustard Gas released near border, attack or accident?July 2nd 5453Reporting from internal sources, a large amount of mustard gas has been released near to point where the Dundorfian, Kundraijan and Kirlawan borders meet. While some sources have begun reporting that it was an accident, others have report that it was an intentional move by the quadrumvirate to attempt to intimidate the nearby nations to leave Kirlawa be. Speculation has risen about how the nations are going to respond to this potential accident, or whether they will take it as an attack on their sovereignty. The quadrumvirate along with the Department of Information have remained tight lipped about the accident, with it being possible that they are trying to keep the incident secret. Inline with the policy of secrecy is that the regional commandant, Éanna O'Hannagain, has begun the silent evacuation of civilians from local towns to inland “camps”, which function both as refugee centres for these civilians, and prison camps to prevent news of the incident escaping, with an estimated 14,000 having already been interned. Of additional concern is that the rural populations, unless there is enough of them together, are being left in the affected areas as a cost saving measure.
Local conscription has also seen an major increase in last few weeks, with over 300,000 men originating from Nuchtmark having been conscripted in the last 4 weeks alone. It has been reported that teenage men as young as 14 have been conscripted, and are being forced to fight the quadrumvirates’ war with men as old as 67. Minimal training has been given to these conscripts, and they are now being forced to make their communities move to internment camps. The quadrumvirate has begun cracking down on opposition along with resistance more now, with the Kirlawan Times losing over 50 informants in the last 7 days alone, making it much harder to get information indicating what is happening. It is currently unknown what fates these informants are suffering, and we have unfortunately lost our informant that was able to access the files indicating what would happen to them.
