The King Pro-tempore has proven himself a callous and honorless piece of filth, operating secret prisons for his twisted version of 'Justice,' and filling them with those loyal to traditional Britannian ideals.  His foul Enforcers roam the kingdom imposing the loathsome 'Virtue Laws' on any citizen daring enough to oppose them.  These violations of the Britannian legal system should make every citizen's blood run cold...  

Last night, a group of heroic citizens discovered the whereabouts of one of Casca's secret prisons - one of three such illegal detention centers.  Casca used black marketeers to obfuscate their construction, and to keep the citizenry in the dark.  He even contracted with daemons to torture the prisoners for information.  

[[Image:FFFF-NightmareShaperLair.jpg|left]]The secret prison lay under Wrong, an ironic place to hide it - Wrong having once been a prison in antiquity before the injustices committed there made the walls ooze with evil.  An altar located in the lair of the Sicarii granted access to the newly carved deep level which held the active prison.  There, a daemon called the Nightmare Shaper attacked the group - its journal detailed its perverse love of torture.

[[Image:FFFF-EnforcerMortonFight.jpg|right]]Continuing deeper into the prison, they slew its many vile creature-guards until they neared the end of the northern tunnel.  There they found none other but Enforcer Morton, Casca's chief toady, wielding his halberd.  A rather long and brutal fight ensued, ultimately ending with Morton's final breath.  As the celebratory cheer's echoed faded, the group rushed to the only occupied cell.  Lord Magnus Grey, Minister of Agriculture, stood mute behind magically silenced bars.  He was quickly released and informed of the last five weeks worth of events he missed during his captivity.

Casca has tried to blame 'Anarchists' for terrorizing the realm in a vain attempt to cover his own misdeeds as Pauper, tool of the Shadowlords.  He has fabricated a lie to blame them for his counterfeit Bell of Courage - the <I>real</I> Bell is safely hidden away from his evil hands.  He has put out yet another worthless piece of propaganda:

<I>It is my sad duty to inform the citizens of Britannian that one of our best has fallen. Enforcer Morton, loyal and valiant, was cut down last night in a sneak attack by the group of anarchists that have troubled our land in recent weeks. The dangerous criminals he was guarding are now free and are a threat to all of us. I ask brave citizens to hear my call and join the Royal Enforcers! Keep Britannia safe!<br> 
- Lord Casca</I>

When I informed the Chancellor of Enforcer Morton's demise, he stated:  <I>"Couldn't have happened to a more worthy man."</I>  Then he looked toward Britain and amended his comment, <I>"Wait, aye, I can think of one..."</I>  A sentiment held by many.

At the last session of the High Council of Britannia, Decree 442-A - The Cascan Resolution was voted in unanimously.  This decree, as well as 441-A - Blackrock Safety Act and 441-B - Virtue Law Denouncement, was written by High Chancellor DaKaren:

<p><table Align=center border=0 CellPadding=0 CellSpacing=0 Width=75% Height=0>
<tr><td>
<U>442-A : The Cascan Resolution</U><br><br>
The High Council of the Kingdom of Britannia hereby demands that the King Pro-tempore, Lord Casca, immediately step down from the throne of Britannia for arrest and trial. The governing of the Kingdom of Britannia will henceforth return to the people.<br><br>
The High Council of the Kingdom of Britannia demands this based on the following grounds:<br><br>
That Lord Casca, aka 'Pauper,' has knowingly and willfully committed High Treason:<br><br>
1) Plotted to lay siege to Britain as the entity known as 'Pauper'<br>
2) Consorted with known Enemies of State, i.e. the Shadowlords, the Crimson Dragons, the Followers of Armageddon, Melissa, and Andrew<br>
3) Trafficked in blackrock for use against Britannia and her people<br>
4) Murder of the entire Ruling Royal Council, Clainin, Joseph Wainwright, and Danth the Meer<br>
5) Attempted murder of Sherry the Mouse<br>
6) Kidnapping of Captain Avery, Michael of Moonglow, Lord Magnus Grey<br>
7) Creation of a secret prison system for political prisoners<br>
8) Creation of a secret court system in violation of the spirit of Justice and Truth<br>
9) Issued the repugnant 'Virtue Law' edicts<br>
10) Nullified a valid Treaty of Peace with the Yew Orc Clan<br>
11) Appointed of 'Paragons of Morality' whose warped views endanger Britannian unity<br>
12) Illegally shipped weapons to a cyclopean clan during 'relocation efforts'<br>
13) Misappropriated Royal Guard and Kingdom funds, people, and materiel<br>
14) Endangered diplomatic relations with the sovereign Empire of Tokuno<br>
15) Illegally shipped weapons, armor, and trainers to the Terathans<br>
16) Perpetuated the conflict between the Terathans and the Ophidians<br> 
17) Attempted to infuse Mt. Sho with dangerously unstable blackrock infused crystals<br>
18) Endangered the whole of Sosaria and associated facets, peoples, and creatures<br> 
19) Attempted to cover his evil deeds with intimidation, bribery, theft, and lies<br><br>
The High Council of Britannia hereby declares that the entirety of the Cascan Regime is hereby null and void. Casca, his agents, and anyone found willingly serving them in acts against Britannia are henceforth declared Enemies of the State. No treaties, agreements, edicts, writs, warrants, or document of any kind written during Casca's administration is to be considered binding on the Kingdom of Britannia, her territories or outposts, or her citizens. All those arrested and tried for crimes of treason are to be retried by the High Court. All those arrested for violation of 'Virtue Law' are to be immediately set free and the charges expunged.<br><br>
No citizen of Britannia is to give Casca or his allies any succor in any endeavor, and shall instead arrest them on sight. Those found to be actively participating in the continuance of this regime may find themselves subject to arrest for treason.
</td></tr></table></p>

Once again I urge the citizens and patriots of Britannia to actively resist the scourge which falsely reigns over the kingdom.  Join with the High Council (the Anarchists!)  and help to overthrow Casca!  Take back Britannia in the name of the true Virtues!
