 * -|English= Issue 2

The Imperial Provincial Council, made up of the Four Great Houses and other key nobles, met recently in Kreuzen Province's Bareahard City. Reports suggest that the heads of each of the Four Great Houses were in attendance, and that countermeasures against the Reformist Faction were discussed. Provincial Council Representative's Statement:

'The ones responsible for upholding the nation's traditions and for making this great country what it is today are we nobles. The so-called reformists may think they know how to govern Erebonia, but are they really thinking of the next two hundred or three hundred years? Those who lack self-respect and can only think of practical concerns rather than the heritage and culture of this nation have no business talking about how to run it.'
