A Call to Arms!

Ruthernian Nobles gather their levies for the upcoming Battle for the Godswood

C. 1611, Maxwell of Metterden

---

“Hear ye, hear ye! I bring to you the news of House Ruthern and the crushing blow it was dealt by their own Liege, the King of Courland, Joseph ‘The Mad’ of House Staunton.” cries a herald.

 

 “Heinous activities occurring with the Courlandic Capital itself! What was to be a peaceful meeting between a King and his Vassal, resulted in all Rutherns present being massacred, none left alive! According to eyewitnesses the King himself engaged in combat on the fleeing Rutherns as they tried to escape Curronberg!”

 

With a short pause taken, the herald resumes, “Therefore, the surviving members of House Ruthern within the Northern County of Metterden has declared its intent to wage war against its previous Liege. House Ruthern and House Staunton now finds itself in a deadly feud and both have expressed that the conflict will only come to a halt once one of the sides have been exterminated! As we speak House Ruthern marches its armies towards the bastion of Courlandic influence in the North, the City of Vsevograd!”

 

“All those who believe that Humanity shall be stronger with the threat of the Staunton menace removed are asked to provide their aid to the growing armies striking at the Kingdom of Courland. As we speak, those disgruntled at the incompetency of House Staunton gather their banners to provide aid to House Ruthern! 

Be not afraid of the menace that is Courland, be strong in your resolve, for together we can take down this deformed beast.”

 

“Let all of Axios declare their loyalty.”

Wolfgang, hearing the herald, pondered briefly, before the sharp rememberance struck his mind. He recalled the conflict of the Roswells, how he had aided, then swiftly leapt on the fence. Remembering his debt to Conrad, the Duke swiftly clambered upon his horse, before charging outside the walls of Aleksandria, the seat of King Joseph Alexander 'The Mad', and the home of the late, great Tobias Staunton. Reaching the wall of Metz, he swiftly scribbled a letter on cheap parchment, before handing it, and 20 mina, to a small boy - the town courier. As the child rushed off to each corners of the Duchy, the Duke headed to the barracks. 

 

 He spoke with the Commander, and explained the situation. "War is imminent."  He explained. As each vassal of the Duke received the letter and read it together, they prepared to join the Ruthernian side, repaying his debt to Conrad Roswell for sitting on the fence as his kin was slaughtered, in attempt to regain his name for forsaking his friend to the usurper. The letter sent read, 

 

"Gather your men, arm them, prepare resources, and garner money. Do all that you can, for war is dawning on lands foreign to distance, but not foreign to our hearts. The friend of our friends, the Rutherns, need our help. Thus, we shall come with all that we have! Ave Ruthernia, Ave Vawdrey and Hail the North!

 

 Signed

Duke Wolfgang d'Vawdré, Duke of Vawdrey, "
