Noble Death Changes Balance of Power

[PanzerBK]

With the recent death of a noblemen within the Second Empire, the balance of the powers along the Rhine have changed once more. The Kingdom of the Ruhr to the east of the Second Empire has gained major cities on both sides of the Rhine from Utrecht to Aachen. With the acquisition of land, King Konrad VI has stated that "The death of the Count of Aachen is tragic, for he was a good friend of the Kingdom of the Ruhr and the Second Empire. With his death, a bridge builder between the two nations has been lost to the sands of time. But, do not let his death be in vain for that his inheritance will help the Ruhr become a major power in Western Europe, and stand up against foreign aggressors that dare threaten the integrity of the Ruhr as a sovereign nation." The political implications of this transfer of land is unknown at this time, but the Kingdom of the Ruhr hopes that foreign relations have changed for the better.
