Proclamation of the Mejakepai

The Proclamation of the Mejakepai is a speech that was given by Sujatasa IV in the Summer of the year 0.

Speech (translated)
“War is something that haunted us for hundreds of years. Fighting, pillaging, destroying, maiming, murdering and savaging the lands we call home. Kada had seen much destruction and bloodshed, and for what? For one’s personal gain, and for one’s right to exist. For too long, we had never seen a unified Kada, a Kada where we all stand together as one, stand together as sisters and brothers, a Kada where a mother would see her daughter go off to fight pointless battles.

Today however, that shall end.

Today, I took the initiative to finish where my mother left off. Throughout her life, she had gone through the effort to unify our people, and through her wisdom and benevolence, not only spared the lives of the ones she conquered, but had shown them the intent that we are not much different from each other. That we Javepakata stand stronger together, than divided.

No longer, shall we look at each other as adversaries, but as equals. No longer, shall our kingdoms and tribes be divided by watchtowers, border posts and forts, but stand together as strong defenses against outside invaders. No longer, shall we clash blades, but rather stand side by side, and clash our blades against those who’d dare conquer Kada.

To the wise and ingenious Batake, your presence in our isles are most welcoming. With your ingenuity in bronze, we hope that you shall take the initiative and instead, focus on steel, and progress our country forward into the future, ahead of everyone, much like your glittering cities that are now underneath the waves.

To the brave and seafairing Koravi, though we were adversaries once upon a time, you had civilized over the past centuries. Your knowledge in navigation and seafairing shall have our people reach far beyond the confines of our own island, and we shall build fine, magnificent ships with your guidance, and knowledge.

To the gentle giants and innocent Shivara, though at first we thought that you would endanger us with your arrival, my mother was right into trusting your people. You are one of us, and you will always have a home here. I ask of your people to join us in our endeavors, and teach us lessons about our own wrongs, and right them. I understand that there are those who converted to your beliefs, but I had seen some of your people becoming one with the Wheel as well.

On these grounds, on this day, on this month, on this very year, I, Sujatasa IV, Queen of the Neruvusari, unifier of Kada, and chosen of Galarios, hereby proclaim the establishment of a new Kingdom… no Empire that shall have us all be under one banner, of a thousand isles, where we shall spread from the Isle of Kada, to the Kunuvan Isles, and throughout the Sea of the Mejakepai. Let the world know, that we, the Empire of the Mejakepai stands under the grace of Keblatam and the might of Galarios, and those who oppose us, shall face Galarios’ wrath!

An Eternity of our Empire begins!”
