[Balmung] March 2 Madness Blitzball! The  Imperative Finibus Primo Præcipe vs the Saltery Salt Barons! Dec 6th @ 9:00pm EST, Bloodstorm, Rhaglr’s Reach

The Madness makes it way to Gyr Abania with a clash of bitter rivals! The season’s third game will take place in the temporary Bloodstorm Stadium in Rhalgr’s Reach.

As a nation still in recovery, Ala Mhigo would supposedly have little funds for games. Luckily, the Saltery has stepped forward to create a brand new team. The Salt Baron’s train in the harsh salt lakes of the Lochs amongst the ruins of an old kingdom. They make use of imperial respirators to breath underwater and there’s rumor that they wield a blitzball made of pure levin. It’s also rumored that the owner of the team of an Ul’dahn Monetarist.

The Imperative Finibus Primo Præcipe represent athletes from all over the Empire. It is one of the few mixed military-civilian teams in the Imperial league. Training with state-of-the-art Imperial technology in the capital of Garelmald, athletes who make this team are offered the opportunity for instant citizenship and the coveted title of civis fabrilis if their team wins. Because of this athletic reward, the Primo Præcipe have become the target of internal sabotage that seeks to keep the athletes down for political reasons. In Eorzea, they are referred to as the Garlean Chargers.

Look forward to the exciting and totally UNBIASED announcement from Resistance Members Cell 5: Martin Adler and Quiet Fury! For more information on the league, check out our master document: tinyurl.com/march2madness Want to get to know the players? Profiles here: https://tinyurl.com/m2m-profiles

“Here’s hoping it does, and here’s hoping it’s taken as a wake up call” he said, not wishing to further elaborate and knowing better than to keep his own views about what he saw was a massive clusterfuck in both regions, resulting in the unnecessary deaths of not just Purebloods, but loyal soldiers seeking to earn their citizenship, those normally scorned by Purebloods. “It will take more than just those like me to help claw our proud nation back from the bitter ashes of defeat, but even spies have our purpose“ he said, returning the legatus’s salute. “My thanks for you offer my lord, but all is well for me at this point in time, I simply wished to express my own relief that you are still yet with us”

"Does me good to see you're still alive. Lost too many in recent months" (ave-garlemald)

Regula had been in the process of entering the command post when this countryman came before him and the Legatus gave a solemn but firm nod to his words of greeting . While many might write off the losses in Doma and Ala Mhigo as primarily that of the conscripted and subjugated, those not of Garlean descent whose loyalties to the Empire were not of blood, to Regula such were grave losses even setting aside the pureblood men and women as well lost in the fighting.

Despite his personal thoughts, however, Regula could not allow himself to be seen as anything less than proud and ready.

“That we have, yet Garlemald will rise from these setbacks as our Empire has ever done. It is those such as you who will restore to the people their glory and peace, never forget.” he said, voice rumbling slightly over the respirator as he offered a salute. “If there is aught you have need of I am ever able to avail myself.” he added, ensuring this soldier was not in dire need of consul before he moved on.
