Regarding the Proclaimation

23rd of The First Seed, 1587

 

To his Imperial Majesty Philip I Frederick of the House of Horen, Holy Orenian Emperor and rightful Emperor of Aeldin, forever August, Apostolic King in Oren, of Savoy, Kaedrin, Haense, Renatus and Salvus, Defender of the Faith, Duke of the Crownlands, Avar, Frederica, Krajia, and Cascadia, Margrave of Greater Kreden, Count of Johannesburg, Louvain, Beauclair, Sundholt, Estavar and Wett, Sovereign of Humanity, Suzerain of the Elves and Protector of the Dominion of Malin, etcetera.  

 

Blessings on your line.

 

The Grand Kingdom of Urguan is dismayed by your concern. It was unbeknownst to the Grand Kingdom that your Empire possessed a growing list of concerns regarding it’s validity in the Treaty of the Northern Union. The Grand Kingdom assures you that it’s foremost priority is to continue the great relations instilled by our Nation's respective predecessors.  It would be a bitter stain on the legacy of both our Nation’s administrations to enact the illegal finishing of the Treaty of the Northern Union. This is certainly not the intention of the Grand Kingdom.

 

The Grand Kingdom would not wish to undermine the eminence of your Scholars, but much of the conclusions that the Empire’s eminent Scholars have delivered, the Grand Kingdom have deemed to be inaccurate.

 

Firstly, accusations from the Empire directed at the Grand Kingdom which regard false claims of the Grand Kingdom’s aid to insurrectionists. The Grand Kingdom would first question why his Imperial Majesty of the Empire, would be so quick to heed the warning of the rebellious scoundrels who seeked to overthrow him. It is rather troubling to the Grand Kingdom, that the Emperor might show confidence in those who seeked to overthrow him, over an ally, the Grand Kingdom. The Grand Kingdom has enjoyed 12 years of peace with the Empire, by dignifying the rebel slander in a formal implication to the Grand Kingdom, the Empire has unsettled much of Urguan’s government, who still wish to remain true to the treaty.

 

However, as a signatory of the Northern Union, his Majesty Grand King Torvin Grandaxe, First of His Name, Grand King of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan and Tribune of the Urguani People, Sovereign of the Dwedmar and Vicar of The Brathmordakin, Lord of Kal’Nikaer, Protector of the Edict and Grand Champion of Urguan, bearer of the Relics of Urguan and Mouth of Urguan,

 

holds no issue in publicly denouncing the Northmen Rebels. and publicly pledges that the said allegations projected by the Empire are in fact false.

 

Secondly, as the Empire correctly states:

 

“The signatories herein shall only hold their fellow signatories responsible for the actions of those individuals acting in an official capacity as their government representatives and agents;”

 

It is unbeknown to the Grand Kingdom the identity and interests of the rogue Dwarf. The Grand Kingdom’s most revered and senior Remembrancers have searched the deepest records of our great library, but rendered unsuccessful in locating any evidence to suggest this Dwarf ever lived legally within the Grand Kingdom, or perhaps even existed.

 

The Grand Kingdom would ask on what knowledge the Empire has it, that the Rogue is in close familial connections to the honorable Marshal, Belgor Ireheart. The Grand Kingdom would also enquire what deductions led the Empire to believe that the Rogue was even an Ireheart at all, perhaps the Empire was informed by the Dwarf before he was killed. Perhaps the Empire recovered documents or information pertaining to the identity of the aforementioned Dwarf. If not, the Grand Kingdom struggles to understand how the Empire could make such a conclusion on the Dwarf’s identity. The Grand Kingdom’s head of Judicial proceedings has taken time to interview each member of the Ireheart Clan in an attempt to locate the said conspirators.  We, the Grand Kingdom, can announce with surety that the rogue in question was not of any affiliation to either the Grand Kingdom or the Ireheart Clan.

 

Perhaps the Empire’s eminent scholars are unfamiliar with the Grand Kingdom’s culture and lineage. If the Empire would wish to look at the records of the Grand Kingdom’s lineage, such could be arranged in full recognition of Provision Four of the Treaty of the Northern Union. Furthermore, the Grand Kingdom offers its help and cooperation in finding those responsible for this heinous and villainous deed.  It would also welcome the Empire to facilitate an opportunity for our own Remembrancers to examine the remains of the Rogue, perhaps the Grand Kingdom’s own experts can deliver a more accurate reading of who the Rogue is and what drove him to such depravity

 

The Grand Kingdom would also ask that the Empire might consult the Grand Kingdom in matters regarding Dwarven lineage in the future. Inaccurate affiliations such as the one drawn between the Grand Kingdom’s Primarch and the Assassin in question can prove to be damaging to reputation.

 

Finally, regarding the Orcs living within the lands of Urguan. The Grand Kingdom would first clarify that the Orcs seeking residing within the lands of Urguan hold no affiliation to the War Uzg, nor were involved in any of the events leading up to the “Condemnation of the Orcish race” made by his Imperial Majesty  John III.

 

The Orc’s of Azaghol have, since their creation, have existed peacefully as residents within the Grand Kingdom. They are a officiated landowners of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan and have been since before the treaty of the Northern union was conceived. They have lived within the lands of Urguan since before the Condemnation of the Orcish race was issued.

 

 

Although in the “Condemnation of the Orcish race”, a declaration made by his Imperial Majesty John III, it is decreed that:

 

“All members of uruk kind shall be killed or driven out on sight within the Imperial lands of men, the elven dominion and all other aligned lands unless they plead for their amnesty, either as an individual, or as a clan."

 

The Grand Kingdom believes that the Azaghol Orcs are exempt from this ruling, as his Imperial Majesty John Owyn III states earlier in the declaration.

 

“With this, there shall be no longer be any Orcish nation in the world, immaterial or material, and duly so, all former subjects of the Orcish War Uzg are hence considered to fall within Imperial jurisdiction.”

 

 

The Grand Kingdom reminds the Empire that the Azaghol Orcs were never affiliated with the War Uzg, and never occupied their lands, therefore do not, and never have, fallen within Imperial jurisdiction. Subsequently, the Azaghol Orc’s are not subject to the declaration made by his Imperial Majesty John Owyn III which orders the persecution of all Orcs.

 

Whilst Provision Ten states:

 

The signatories herein shall consider any enemy polity hostile to one signatory to be an enemy and hostile to all signatory members of the Union;

 

-The Azaghol Orcs are not a polity.

-The Azaghol Orcs are residents of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan.

-They have always been, since their inception, residents of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, who do not consider them a political entity.

-The Grand Kingdom is not an enemy polity.

-The Grand Kingdom is an ally to the Empire.

-The Grand Kingdom’s Government acts as a single political entity on behalf of all of its residents and vassals.

 

Whilst provision Four states:

 

The signatories herein shall facilitate total judicial cooperation between one another, including though not limited to processes of extradition, and shall abstain from the granting of exile, refuge or succor to those entities wanted or convicted by another signatory;

 

The Azaghol Orcs in question, are not refugees or exiles of the Empire, as they have always resided within the Grand Kingdom. The Azaghol Orcs should not be wanted nor convicted by the Empire, as they have never been affiliated with the War Uzg and have never fallen into the Empire’s jurisdiction.

The Grand Kingdom would ask that the Empire respects Provision Eight of the Treaty:

 

The signatories herein shall totally abstain from interference with the internal governments and affairs of their fellow signatory members of the Union, and shall recognise and support the total sovereignty of the legitimate governments of their fellow signatories according to the respective system of government of the state in question;

 

As aforementioned above, the Azaghol Orcs are not subject to the Condemnation of the Orcish Race and are peaceful residents of the Grand Kingdom. The Grand Kingdom considers its residency an internal affair and asks respectfully that the Empire does not interfere.

 

To finish, the Grand Kingdom asks respectfully that the Empire works diplomatically and cooperatively with it if the Empire continues to dispute Urguan’s validity within the treaty of the Northern Union. As does the Grand Kingdom, offer it’s full and unhindered cooperation. The peace must endure for both of our Nation’s to prosper.

 

The Grand Kingdom hopes, for both our sakes, that the treaty remains unbroken.

 

We hope that this meets you in good health,

 

Grand King Torvin Grandaxe, First of His Name, Grand King of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan and Tribune of the Urguani People, Sovereign of the Dwedmar and Vicar of The Brathmordakin, Lord of Kal’Nikaer, Protector of the Edict and Grand Champion of Urguan, bearer of the Relics of Urguan and Mouth of Urguan,

"Torvin. Torvin. Torvin." The Orcs chanted as Torvin responded, proud to live as neighbours of Urguan under his banner.

Felix Fitch would shake his head, knowing that many of the Wargoths that currently reside within the new orcish settlement, did indeed live in the old orc capital, and many of the orcs who now live in this new settlement contributed to the rise of Orgon and the fall of Vailor.

Velwyn notes that even if what Felix was saying was true, that the Orcs were Urguanians before any treaty or declaration were made.

Jukha would wonder how he would know this. 

   Malog would wonder how Felix or anyone other than the recipient of this letter even knew about said letter. He'd also wonder how Felix, the Emperor, or anyone other than the dwarves and orcs would know about a remote settlement built deep in a desert which none of them would have any reason to visit, much less know who lives in it. Malog would then wonder how he himself knew about either the Emperor's Proclamation, Torvin's response thereto, or whatever Felix was thinking. In the end, however, he merely shrugs, assessing that everyone evidently must know everything at all times.
