In previous news, we had sent letters to each side of the story to gain insight from each. As we know Scotland, Novgorod and the English citizens all answered. The Finnish Embassy Chancellor, Phobia Cosgrove has agreed to answer some questions.

Chancellor Cosgrove, Scotland’s Duke of Galloway, Al Lan Douglas has said a diplomacy meeting was held. Was Finland involved in any discussion with Scotland on the planned hunt for pirates?

Galloway and Finland were two different parties with differing reasoning to go after the same target. Galloway had asked Finland's help in order to hunt down these pirates earlier this year. When the very same pirates start to cause mayhem within our territory, joining our forces was a simple enough matter.
Meetings held between Galloway and Finland have been in order to facilitate this operation and have been tactical in nature. While any contact between foreign powers can be described as 'diplomatic' in nature, Finland and Galloway don't share any deeper alliance than what these similar situations brought upon for the duration of this operation.

For the talks with Novgorod, Al-Lan conducted them personally as Finland had taken a supportive role in this matter. After all, Galloway was first to ask for assistance.

After the sinking of ships, The king of Finland apologized and admitted that he made a mistake. Was there any official declaration on this matter and if so where was this done? If so would you be able to tell us what it says?

While there isn't any official declaration on this matter, the apology was made in a public venue. While it might be hard to find in the future, there's no contest of its authenticity.

The contents of the apology are quite simple, through omission and advice made in bad faith, the King was led to believe Galloway had a solid case against Novgorod. Which soon crumbled as Galloway's naval force opened fire indiscriminately.

There were promises of delivering additional evidence after the fact, but while Al-lan did provide multitudes of transcripts they failed to ascertain the claims of intent he had made. When asked to clarify those points, he brushed the matter aside claiming them to be "minor matters". For reference, those "minor matters" would qualify for treason in Finland.

Does Finland have a treaty with Scotland? Is there any sort of official document that would prompt Finland to take part in this piracy hunt?

There aren't any treaties between Finland and Scotland, nor her counties either. While there was the request for help from Galloway, Finland had their own reason to hunt those pirates.

Did any Finnish sailors and the ships they were on capsize and met the oceans wrath in the piracy hunt? If so who were they and are they recovering now?

Some lives were lost during this operation and its aftermath, but those who survived the ordeal are now back in Finland.

Does Finland share the same opinion as Scotland on this? That is that hunting pirates in an area that had no issue with the said group is part of vengeance to right the law of the sea and if it’s people who sail it?

No, the actions the pirate group did within our territory would be enough to be considered an act of war, should they be backed by a foreign power.

Time line of events

☐ Before 4th of June The story began with a meeting and letters published on the matter of TCO and Kingsman sinking ships. This was where Kat Locksley admits she planned revenge.

☐ 3rd of June, the Queen of England, Julianna Taldis, confirmed multiple ships of Scottish origin were sunk by pirates.

☐ 5th June, Kat Locksley asks Captain Peter what his plans were in Novgorod.

The attack started. In a letter, one of the four Scottish captains, Katniss Locksley, said: "If you wish to plead your case. All additional letters should go to Al_an the duke of Scotland. I am just here to seek revenge for my sunken ships. ".
The four were < a href="http://www.renaissancekingdoms.com/FichePersonnage.php?login=mercury">Mercury, Kat., Mel_kulek and another un named,

the Queen of Novgorod, Margo condemed Finland for breaking the Baltic Pact and friendship treaty.

☐ 6th of June the Duke of Galloway, Al Lan Douglas announces .

On the same day, the King of Finland, Khelder, apologized to The Baltic Union group stating
"I am sorry over what happened. I made a mistake in the heat of the moment. And then I couldn´t undo it leading to more mistakes. "

8th June<:b> The Spokesman of Glasgow, Ragnar Brynjolf stated that Glasgow would not participate in discussions about “what took place in Russia or the outcome.” in Highlamd Halls.

☐ 12 June
Admiral Shirinova Markov reached out to Pilgrim Hawkshead , the Royal Ambassador to Russia about a blockade announced by Katniss Locksley. He wrote her the same day and said he forwarded her letter which contained the details about the blockade on to Chancellor Bastian Dorcester. The admiral states that the Royal Embassy chancellor of England did not mail her at all to ask her questions about what happened.

☐ 14 JuneFinnish chancellor contacted by Shirinova to give her details.

☐ 22 June English Citizen contacted Vice-Chancellor Itamar Yerushalmi-Hanley Crown Ambassador to Novgorod with details.

This same day, after the members in the House of Parliament, asked, the Royal Chancellor Bastian Dorchester answered questions about the event.


I did reach out to all of the interviewees to see if they wished to add anything or refute any statements. The following was given as a reply.

Katariana wishes to say that in the former article Kat said "When the Russian ship got to us. I warned them to leave" Katarina says that this is not true, there was no warning.

Further, Katniss said "...started to shoot down a Russian Battle cog before they released one pirate ship. We then destroyed that Pirate BC." Katarina replied, "This ship has been in port from the very beginning, already repaired."

Admiral Shirinova
"I refute any suggestion that our clan got monetary compensation. We paid for the ship that was sunk, and the philtres offered to enable our Captain to sail. Thus the only compensation was by the Russians in the form of a War Carrack to replace the one that was sunk."

It appears from reports that the Scottish ships were all sunk and the captains and crew are home mending. There was not a blockade to stop anyone from leaving Novgorod as was said by Scottish Captain Katniss Locksley. So the final question to all this is once again, was this justice or vengeance? This is up to who tells or reads the tale.
