The Isle of Antefinem mobilizes for war.

In the wake of Aetius' declaration against Altharim, Antefinem stands by them in a united front against this coalition of sorcerers.

In the past weeks, the isle has kicked their military into high gear, and an elite special division of their navy has been chosen to deploy behind their Commander-in-Chief: the "Devil Dogs".

"From the Halls of the Republic

To the shores of Serenity;

We fight our country's battles

On land and sea;

First to fight for Right and Freedom

And to keep our honor clean;

We are proud to claim the title

Of Antefinemite Marines.

If the Honored Dead

Ever look on Heaven's scenes,

They will find the streets are guarded

By Antefinem's Marines."

In other news:

• Construction of a prison has begun on the southern isle of Antefinem dubbed "Timelock Bastion". Alternatively, it is lovingly referred to by locals as a "Freedom Camp". It is built for other nations to extradite their captives to work off their sentences according to Antefinem's own judicial system where they will turn big rocks into little rocks. Upon completion, any interested countries wishing to extradite prisoners they do not have the time to deal with will need to pay a 10,000 coin fee (per year) and provide either the President, officers, or senators with documentation of their crimes. Once their crimes have been translated into Antefinem's judicial system and the prisoner(s) are received, their sentence will begin. Nations will receive half of any profits prisoners make during internment until release. The harder the prisoners work, the quicker they may be released.
  
• In conjunction of this prison, a mining site is being prepared on the isle of the soon-to-be "Timelock Bastion". 
  
• Word has it that the Patron has risen after 30 years of dormancy.
  
• In conclusion of Antefinem's 7th successful election, Harbinger has secured his presidential role for a 4th term.
