The United Front

[WoodenApples 382]

 

“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”

 

-Frederick Staunton-Baden, addressing the Nation Leaders of Axios.

The news came upon the men of Courland as a hot knife, seering the hearts and wills of all that it came to learn of it. The great Westward Kingdom had fallen, the undead scourge pouring into Bastion, the slaughter of the innocents there, and the fall of the Westerlands. As letters still came, with descriptions of the horror and merciless pillage of these lands, did the sky above Aleksandria become darkened from the sheer number of birds soaring across the warm summer air. Each bearing the same message, sealed in the same wax, and stamped with the Privy seal of King Joseph Staunton.

 

Over the skies of the Citadel of Acael, Taliyna’maehr, Al’Khaleed, San’Torr, Linandria, the Rexdom, and Metz did the birds fly, while others passed through the tunnels of Kal’Omith. Each finding their way to the elven, dwarven, Orcish and human rulers, their message simple:

 

“A call to arms, the undead have come”

 

And with each bird sent, did a host of Men, Elves, and Dwarves come. Each bearing the letter destined for them, and each dressed in the splendid and fearsome regalia of war.

The throne room filling ever more with each passing moment, until the very walls of the castle groaned under the sheer might of the regal attendance.

 

Rising from his throne, the fine autumn green and midnight black of his robes dancing through the movement, did King Joseph Staunton face the magnificent assembly. His action bringing the assembled Royalty, Nobility, and Gentry of the realms to an idyllic quiet.

 

Through this, did the young King speak,

 

“Those who stand here before me, with the might and the will of the mighty Kingdoms of this world, hear my call. A threat has come unto our great Kingdoms, lands, peoples, and very children. The Undead have risen, their corrupt and foul presence being held back no longer!

 

The Westerlands has fallen to this threat with Bastion claimed by these monsters, even as the defenders still breathed did the city come to an end. So hear me this day!

 

Fakhri Kharadeen, Ikur Seregon,  Arthur Horen, Aelthir Tundrak, Odo d’Amaury, Bastion Ireheart, Rex Gurak'Yar, Peter Sigismund, Tristin Tresery, I call on you and your noble vassals. Join with my family once more, to end this threat as we have done to the others.”

 

And as the roar of approval swept through the air of Aleksandria, did the hammering of armour and sharpening of swords drown it out.

 

The cleansing of the Westerlands had come.

[Gavin_ 1833]

Frederick Staunton-Baden narrows his eyes upon reading the finalised document. He bobs his head several times, certain now that his people will once again, be plunged into war. This time, against the dead.

[Angmarzku 1247]

"We warned you." Ghamul grumbled atop the drake Satar, glancing upon the couple hundred of thousands of undead that gathered around it in the ruins now known as Khorghul. It gestured to the east, thus the army turned upon the burnt land, their steps echoing and clattering.

"Bring it on, you **** sucking brigands. March! Defend your homes and lands, phantoms"

[lev 627]

"undead AGAIN?" Lev Revlis remembers the prequels

First off do not remove this, Cruz is busy and in posting on his behaf

 

this whole event line was preplanned, there should be no actual warclaim posted because it's all part of the event. At this point you're just being ooc into rp because you know it's a chance to take the wlands from a political enemy. This war claim should be denied along with the rest of them, so we can conquer it ye forward with an enjoyable event line.

[JVQ 1719]

There is currently a warclaim up on the targeted region. This warclaim is denied until the already standing warclaim is resolved.
