WORLD AT WAR, KNIGHTHOOD SQUABBLE CONTINUES [I-PAN]

[Skyrunner 257]

Utaria stares at the map for several seconds, before rubbing her eyes. “That’s gotta be a mistake. Sutica has a non-aggression pact with the Orcs and the Empire, ya know. Just because we wanna get them off our backs for five seconds, we wanna just bend the knee? I swear to Gott this journalism is getting worse by the day.” She proceeds to ball up the paper and toss it in a nearby trashbin.

Nei, our side of the story was not gathered. We were condemned from the beginning. We were attacked, unprovoked. Why would one wish to serve as a vassal to such dishonorable peoples, who now attempt to handwave it away as a ‘military exercise’.”

“Nothing was unprovoked, much of your leadership and populace are either a demon or know somebody who is.” states Humpfrey.

Dunshire has recently enacted their own legislature, which functions similarly to the Empire’s current parliamentary system.

 

Rollo Applefoot reads the paper, eyeing the world news with a quirked brow before simply saying to himself “... What? I never knew the Empire’s current parliamentary system was a social republic-esque system that is still basically borderline communism! I guess the Empire is done with all that basically monarchy stuff!” Rollo Applefoot then nods, glad that his lover managed to get a job that doesn’t involve talking to a pumpkin god

Ruari bore a scowl of contempt as he heard the man speak.

“Do you have proof? I’ve lived within the walls of Arberrang for many years now, and not once have I heard the slightest whisper of rebellion against Haense. No doubt you will deflect my question, or refuse to deliver some concrete form of evidence. Nei, I was one of the four present when the soldiers from Haense scaled our wall, declared we had the intent to rebel, and deemed we surrender or be put to the blade. Is this aggressive and unprovoked attack how Haense would treat its vassals? Is this how the Empire would deem it acceptable? For how well spoken you Imperials are, and how your customs and laws are so refined, you seem to lack the basic ability to conduct diplomacy.

At the very least, this is still a blatant lie. Two elders, a servant, and myself were present on the rampart. We had no warriors present, nothing to indicate there was a ‘training exercise’ being held between ourselves and Markev. They came to attack us.

Nei, our side of the story was not gathered. We were condemned from the beginning. We were attacked, unprovoked. Why would one wish to serve as a vassal to such dishonorable peoples, who now attempt to handwave it away as a ‘military exercise’.”

 

“Stop being foolish, the Empire of Man did not declare Arberrang rebels. It declared Nordengrad rebels for countless acts attacking another vassal was just the straw that cracked the camels back. Now Arberrang’s leadership foolishly went and declared independence from the Empire, declaring a state of rebellion. If Arberrang leadership had sense and did not want to rebel perhaps they should have complained to the Emperor or the government, or come to court for a solution to problems they have. But now its to late for that, they have already rebelled and once the Empire is done cleaning up the North it shall come south to deal with the rebels in Arberrang. Perhaps  they would surrender and bend the knee to the Emperor before he reaches the southern border and he might be merciful.”

“Amen.” said Father Humpfrey as he prepared his mace and auric oil to rid the world of the demon harem in Arberrang.

Cyrene would grumble from her spot in the clinic, looking down to her burned hand and snapped shin. “Orcs have been known to rob, raid, and pillage our lands since the start of Atlas...” she’d say. “Either some people are blind as to not realize why we made the trade and non-aggression pact with them, or they’re just grasping at straws in a feeble attempt to drag the Federation into trouble. What did I expect, though? Sutica remains neutral in this war.”

”I thought the visit of the Haense military was infact a mere training exercise? Or were they here to cut down the corrupt and evil Karyssmov Faroe? Or was it like the soldiers themselves said to my very face, that we were in open rebellion? It seems no one can keep their story straight. 

The truth is, Haense men attacked us before we knew we even had a problem which would warrant us going to the Emperor or Government. I stood atop those walls and witnessed first hand as the Men from Markev came to my home, not speaking a single word of arresting the Karyssmov Faroe for his demon ways, but to declare that my kinsmen were in rebellion! Something we did not even know in our own hearts! Arberrang is full of many folk, while Karyssmov is just one man! His clan makes up one of four. Why were we visited upon by a ravenous pack of dogs and declared upon to give up our home? To surrender or meet the blade? No one has yet to show me proof of Karyssmov’s so called demonic ways, just words which paint him so. 

Expose the truth, and every good natured man and woman of Arberrang would cut him down themselves. Declare it your intent to take our home away from us, using baseless claims and the threat of an army before we could even react? That is how you drive a populace to fight for their lives, and is the reason Nordengrad came to our aid. It does not matter to  you Imperials, this is merely a limp excuse to kill us all. So long as the Empire and its vassals within will be satisfied with such, it will not be an Empire worth speaking of.” Ruari spoke out in response.

“And you, one might have thought that being extorted by Reivers would have been enough to stop you and your kith and kin from making pacts with things greater or evil than oneself, aligning to orcs? What foolishness must you be driven to, war? War that- you could be dragged into?”

Brushing his duster, sighing and drew off his hood as he began to leave the area at which this were occurring.

“I mean I am just a woman in the city now. I dont mess around with being a guard or anything. Too stressful for me to deal with. Uh... Point noted though? I guess.” She says, still very confused as to how she got here or what was really happening.

Auriel, while still a zealot, is immensely confused on how a woman can so possibly be out of touch with world events.
