TO THE SNOW CAPPED KING

[colovian fur 8360]

 

Caius Sigismund upon reading the letter from the Dwed King, eagerly and quickly

returned a public response to the King of the Undermen.

Times have indeed changed old friend, once again politic seemingly have us at each others throats. I respect you and your people, the heart, the hearth, the fire that burned inside the Frostbeard men for freedom against a tyrant. When the tyrant forced your people to kiss the ring, my own men stood beside you for justice. I still even consider us friends despite this predicament.

 

I write a slanderous campaign as was our promise to you against our oppressors; no matter who they be. As my age grows, my future seems to be of simple advisory. After consoling myself with the good Lord Prenkus, I’ve come to the conclusion: We will always fight for a  righteous victory no matter the circumstances, High King. You now aim to beat a dead horse of an empire that was dissolved naught but several Saint Days ago.

 

It pains me once again to see the Frostbeards used as cannon fodder, as a tool in a war that is not their own. What should be an era of celebration and victory for your people, having beat back the red Urguanites back into their heretical sky fortress, is now wrought with getting involved in a war after the Santegian Worms insulted our gentle Pontiff?

 

What right does a Kingdom which spawned from that which deemed to see humanity fall into chaos have to insult the leader of our faith, High King? What right do your people have to dictate our faith instead of growing their own? None. You involve yourself in a petty war for petty reasons: spite. Hadn’t you already gotten even with Oren, a grudge completed, when the Empire is now no longer? When the Urguanites were defeated?

 

Once, your land was pure and free: A land of noble hearts and men who aspired to fly their own flag, not bail out a foolish petty Kingdom. Ascended and the likes still roam freely, the people of mixed race: pagans and druids looking to pollute the mind of any child of God. Your Church, born out of hate for yes-men and nepotism, now stands still: unenforced. Yet what do you do? You involve yourself in the religious squabbles of man.

 

You speak of self defense, of your “coalition”. But what we see opposing them is a small Kingdom of pious men: who only seek what is right in our faith. In the words of my good advisor, Lord Prenkus, If your plan is to destroy the HUMAN SPIRIT… Then you are on the right path.

 

But you, Verthaik and your coalition brothers will have to do much more than fight nations with banners ot kill our ever-lasting fight towards FREEDOM and PIETY.

ANTE BELLUM

CAIUS SIGISMUND HOREN

[Pinochet 356]

ivar earshatter screams and defrosts his fat beard and plants a grand flag of a fat dwarf with a big ear on his humble abode in ratville

[Clayphish 149]

Opal scratches her cheek, her usual wandering having lead her to dwarf lands yet again. "It doesn't suprise me that the people aren't chasing after half-breeds and Ascended like the political figureheads want them to. Even the most simple of people know when they're being taunted by their leaders with a scapegoat-stick and being told to fetch for no other reason than to give them distractions from actual political matters. Very few people are openly asking questions that matter for fear of death, but they're on the minds of people who understand that labels like 'heretic' are being thrown out to make them chase small, undefended populations like a dog being told to fetch a stick by it's master. How did a single house of dwarves defeat all the other dwarf houses in a secure Capitol city with only a handful of allies when Urguan took down the Oren Empires in the recent past? How come liches have  safe places in Oren? When Devirad was formed of dark beings and those who spoke openly of the church of cannon being false, why we're the blades of war turned away from them and onto a small orc population and the only actual action taken against Devirad by Oren end up being a single public letter by a man in the church? The people understand when games are being played with them as pawns. It may be best to address questions like this instead of pointing at more vulnerable populations and screeching like a five year old child who's never been disciplined before."
