DECLARATION OF WAR

[Tsuyose 3283]

 

 

Within the callous confines of the Courlandic capital, sat the respective powers of the realm, squabbling amongst one another in their own strife of hostilities. However, through their hostile nature, had House of Horen been the voice of reason, striving to encourage the foreign and domestic nations to unify in their efforts against the Undead, as did the Dwarves and Courland too. To each their own, respectable nations, who could discard their strife in their acknowledgement of the tenebrous encroachment.

 

When the discussion was seemingly coming along, was when an outward force attacked, consisting of rogues and veterans alike. An infamous guild of daunting, war-torn men, sought to pillage the treasures of Courland, but instead found themselves drawing steel against the sovereign leaders. In their efforts, had Arthur Horen pulled back both Peter Sigismund and Frederick, accompanied by varying sovereign leaders- however, as unfortunate as it was, during the confusion they were locked out of the meeting room. Men flanked the walls, ascending the stone as the minuscule group soon grew tenfold, brandishing their weapons against the Courlandic guard.

 

During their departure, had His Royal Majesty, Peter Sigismund fled through the streets, his brother-in-arms and Duke alike, thwarting whatever menace in their path. Envoys of guardsmen, carrying various banners encircled their respective sovereign leaders, taking their own departure, as had Frederick, Arthur, and Peter. To their homeland, the swampland, the Kingdom of Mardon.

 

Therein banners flew high above the city of Lorath, where the trio promptly called for their respective council, who concealed themselves within the confines of the Lorath Keep. Ushering amongst themselves, with nary a disagreement, notes of varying Undead sat upon the table, scholars providing enlightening speeches upon the scourge. Eventually, they had come to their conclusion, with Peter Sigismund calling forth his levy and nobility alike, as had Arthur Horen, and Frederick Augustus.

 

As a triumvirate, they ushered their speech aloud, the banners of House of Horen swaying high above the air, while men clad in iron and steel stood stalwart, saluting their marshals and liege lords.

 

“While the meeting was unsuccessful, as we had before, we will do so again!”

 

Peter Sigismund began, tone callous albeit sonorous.

 

“As I had forewarned, Man could not recognise the encroaching threat, and we lost the Bastion as a result! Valiant men perished during their plight, go forth, my messengers, inform the Westerlandic refugees that they’ve land within Mardon, a ripe harvest to fill their starving bellies, homes to shelter their families, and medical bays to tend to their wounded!

 

The Titans of Horen will smile upon our advance, for we rush to the aid of the Westerlands, to thwart the threat, and re-take the Bastion!

 

Go forth, messengers, spread word to the sovereign nations, that despite the inconclusive decision of our meeting, interrupted by war-torn men, we recognise the Westerlandic plight! Join arms, let us unify as a singular force, despite our varying banners and racial ties, to thwart the threat!”

 

Peter Sigismund, Arthur Horen, and Frederick Augustus stand in unison, wielding the banners of the Kingdom of Mardon and the Kingdom of Owessex, exclaiming aloud in a powerful, sonorous tone.

 

WE WILL STAND AS ONE.

WE WILL FIGHT FOR THE WESTERLANDIC PLIGHT.

WE WILL SLAUGHTER THE UNDEAD MENACE.

 

FOR THE WESTERLANDS.

FOR THE MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN WHO DIED.

FOR THE LATE KING CAIUS.

 

VENGEANCE WILL BE HAD.

 

THE KINGDOM OF MARDON AND THE KINGDOM OF OWESSEX DO UNITE TO DECLARE WAR UPON THE UNDEAD OF MORDRING.

 

- Peter Sigismund and Arthur Horen, announcing their declaration to their unified force.

Please refrain from any further comments unless you are a Nation Leader from groups directly involved in this or are leadership of Mordring's coalition. Any further banter or other unwarranted posts will be met with warns.

 

Thank you!

((As a nation leader involved in this war, I personally think that it's all fine. But on the topic of mob-spawning, the enemy forces should be given a reasonable and set number of mobs they're allowed to spawn in throughout the battle and how/where they spawn in should also be reasonable.))

 

King Arthur 'the Colossus' Horen chuckles as he sends out a variety of letters throughout his kingdom.

 

"Rally the banners and send out word, within the next two saint's day we must elect a Marshal."

[JVQ 1719]

Mardon has no land route to Bastion. You'd have to show me the fleet that you plan to carry your army on unless you are given permission to travel through Courland or Urguan.

This is going to be a short announcement.

The Warclaim tonight against the ‘Mordring Region’ has been denied.

• The 'Mordring Region' is going to be turned into a eventzone for the ET and LT to do as they please for the benefit of any player who wish to venture into that land for the time being. 
• Future events may be made with excursions to clear parts of the taint and venture forwards.

• Forces can attempt to move through the taint towards the Capital through events.

 

This has been a joint decision by the GM and LT Management, and the Event Runners to try and maximise the amount of people who can enjoy and make use of the area.
