Northward bound, a small party trudged through the woods in near silence. Reiter mercenaries walked ahead, their heavy bootsteps crushing fallen foliage and turning the path into a mess of mud, while behind them, the clinking of Romstun armour could be heard. No one spoke a word, not even the prisoner with a rope around his neck like a dog. Two men, one in leather and one in plate, held twin ropes; one around the orc’s neck, and the other bound his hands.

 

By the time the Orcish Rex reached the gates of Caras Eldar, he was coated in mud up to his shins. A Reiter forced him to the cobbles with a sharp kick to the back of his knees, and he grunted as the unprotected joint met unrelenting stone. A figure emerged from the crowd, which seemed to melt away at his approach. He moved with a preternatural elegance that was offset by the full bronze armour with which he wore - lethal, and utterly expressionless. King Kairn Ithelanen took his time approaching the Rex, coming to a halt with the tips of his armoured boots touching the orc’s knees.

 

“You may offer your surrender to me for your belligerence and murder of innocent elves,” the King said softly. Deceptively so. There was a murderous glint in his eyes that betrayed his willingness to put down anyone and anything that would threaten his city and his nation.

 

“Zay gug’ye tu lahtz goi,” Puknaak’Lak spat with his chin raised defiantly. Say goodbye to your city. Sweat beaded on his blue skin, catching the dappled sunlight that streamed in through the heavy canopy. He was armourless, having been stripped of the Bloodsteel upon capture, and knelt only in filthy black and red clothing. “Your city will burn.”

 

“And your brothers will die.” Kairn held out a hand to his Praetor, who wordlessly advanced with a sheathed greatsword. “You had your chance to surrender and make your concessions.” He drew the blade, throwing the sheath carelessly aside in order to grasp it with two hands.

 

That murderous glint ignited until the King’s eyes practically glowed, and he brought the blade down without mercy. It cleaved through skin, sinew, and bone, sending the orc’s head flying clean off. In a pool of ruby red blood it sat, staring sightlessly up at the silver leaves above.

In the Naelurir Grove, the Mali’ame gathered around a stone altar. They sacrificed the dead Orcish Rex’s heart to the Aspects with their King’s blessing: “A gift for Cernunnos and Cerridwen.” Kairn descended from the altar once the deed was done, disappearing into one of the side caverns with a druid of the grove. When he emerged, it was with a striking red tattoo snaking around his right arm- the Warrior’s Mark. The mark of the Father.

War horns would be blown, drums would be beat, and the sound of orkish hordes would rumble throughout the orcs city, moving out, in preparation of war. "Abowt zkahin tik." Morlak'lak grumbled to himself

There are already two warclaims scheduled for this weekend so this one will get pushed back a week to the new proposed date of July 7th. I will be making the war discord channels for this warclaim later on in the week once the other two warclaims are sorted.
