12/02/1459 KAP ITALIA for the Empire - Facts of Modena


KAP (Modena) - Ordo Negrum Equites vs The Empire

Introduction:

Ordo Negrum Equites is a mercenary international military group. In it joins the Italian Army "Amesha".

These armies have been known for the assault made against Provence.
After the take of Provence, unexpectedly, the Duchess of Milan, Ipollita del Grillo, granted their transit through the territory of Milan.
Camped ONE in Parma, the truth has been revealed: Ippolita was in agreement with ONE, and fled with 50,000 pounds, stolen from the treasury of Milan.
Next this betrayal, ONE invades Duchy of Modena, passing into Guastalla.

Day 07/02:

ONE attack the city of Modena.

Day 09/02:

Subcommander ONE Matteo Romano "Caleblost" Colonna, Leader of Amesha, take the city of Modena; but the elected Council not fall.
There are no explanations of why ONE has not been able to take the Castle, and the people envoke the "miracle of the White Door".

The Serenissima Republic of Venice and the Duchy of Milan have expressed their support for the Duchy of Modena, confirming the alliance sealed time ago.

The new Duke of Milan, Invisible, order to send the Milanese Armies to support his ally, providing military and logistical support with provisions.

The Dogaressa of Venice, Katie D, has forced the dissolution of the ONE Third Army, in Udine, breaking the Pact between Venice and the ONE.

The two political factions of Modena, immediately elected Duke the candidate with the most votes, Viscount Arquer Carafa della Spina.

The Church has stated its position, too.
A statement from the Archdiocese of Ravenna has appeared in the Plaza of Modena, signed by Archdiocesan Vicars Pascal and Fenice.
A call to conscience addressed to ONE: an invitation to rediscover the Aristotelian Virtue by the Glory, and not by subterfuge or deceit.

A second statement signed from "A devastated city, crying" by Pascal, Vicar ArcBishop of Ravenna, notes the support of volunteers Modenesi; expressing the fact that "All free woman and men who have defended Modena during the days that the city has been besieged by the armies of ONE and Amesha, are in full communion with the ideal of sacrifice and martyrdom of the Holy Aristotelian Church."; absolving them from all sins.

Episcopal Guard, represented by Mons. Astuzia, Mons. Gantzo, Mons. Tonius and Mons. Amyamy, argues the defense of the Modenese cities.

Day 10/02:

It's discovered by Caleblost that the elected mayor of Modena, Pack, has rescued the public treasury and deposits in a secret place, and the reaction of ONE/Amesha is angry.

Duke Arquer and his predecessor, Duchess Anniusca, closed the frontiers, the mines and the University and changed the Port Headmaster of Massa.

Venice claims to have killed ONE reinforcements in Udine.
ONE denied.

Emperor Alveran, for word of his subordinate Salvestro de Medici "Celt", declares:

In particular reference to the Italian situation I would like to clarify that this is the time to show that we are all brothers and united under the Empire, while it is not the time to address the differences that may exist between individual provinces.
I applaud the intentions of the Republics of Florence, Siena and Genoa, which almost immediately responded to the imperial call.
Further I hope that the Duchy of Modena and the Duchy of Milan review in the light of the events of the last day their neutrality declarations towards the ONE and start to realize their duty to participate in the common defense.
I thank the Serenissima Republic of Venice for trying to intervene diplomatically and, following the announcement of the birth of a new army ONE in Udine, ask to also intervene militarily against them.


Milan and Modena did not response to Alveran, but the populations of the two Duchies expressed disdain for this message from the Emperor.

Day 11/02:

Modena call help to all Empire.

Day 12/02

ONE changed its position. Today is at Guastalla. Nobody knows what they could do; but reinforcements arrived from Genua.

In facts, today, three Genovese armies are at Massa.
