The Year, 1690,
                
Titus Labienus stops marching forwards. Velia’s colony is finally within sight after a day of walking down the road. "Eh." Titus looks to those he’s been leading back to Aquium. Pointing Gaius, and Manius Claudius Curio to a large manor-house that besets their colony, "Pravus." The darkened building is eerie and covered in satanic ilk and imagery. The evil is palpable. Manius shudders. The proximity of this black building is a shadow on their shining colony.
 
The Year, 1691,

Claudii Familia finds an eviction notice in their vineyards. The culprit is the manor owner. Seems he went to the authorities. Citing a land dispute. Giving the newly made vineyard one year to cease production and move their vineyards elsewhere. However, grubbing up the vineyards would cause a huge blow towards wine production. The delicate creatures already requiring years in the ground to start producing quality grapes for pressing. This simply is a financial dent that the Pater Familia, Manius Curio could not take. He turns to the leadership of the colony to ask if he may conduct diplomacy with the manor owner over the land dispute. Given the blessing, he prepares translators to come with him to speak to the mysterious owner of the evil mansion that looms over his family’s vineyards.
                
Soon, an audience with the manor owner is upon Claudius. Together with Antonius, they approach the dreaded front door of the manor. Knocking and offering a roasted chicken politely. It is taken with much hesitation by the twisted visage before them. An elf with long craven claws, a frail and weak looking body. A high elf that’s made his company with snakes. One wrapped around his body now. A disgusting black vine. The home smells of death and dust. It is, however, quite sophisticated in its architecture. The owner even has a toilet like a civilised man. Claudius Curio the Elder thinks the ensuing diplomacy is going to go well. Yet this sarcastic and negative elf (typical elves!) that sits before them is very much dogged in not accepting to sell the house; The first order of peace that Claudii makes. A slave names the snake-clad man, “Alvried.” To which Claudius confirms with the manor owner whom he also finds out is a mage (that explains the frailty). Alvried sits there with his snake and wine. A displeased scowl fixed to his expression. A temperament of coldness despite the warmth the Velians bring with them. Claudius seeks a further peaceful compromise with Alvried and asks if they can forgo the eviction, and instead be allowed to build within 50 meters (blocks) of his home. He vehemently refuses and starts to get hostile when Antonius calls Kass to take-his-place translating. Alvried declaring he would rather see the whole colony evicted than give any room for peaceful compromise. This claim from the pyromancer upsets Claudius, who stands and delivers him his final terms of peaceful resolution. Silver, or steel, Peace, or war? Alvried moves off uninterested, opening a strange and evil looking book. Only responding, “Fire.” Choosing war. Claudius and his translator plea that he reconsiders, but he’s dogged in his choice. They instead ask to leave, and return home to Aequium.

                Sitting on the walls some days later near the end of the year 1691, Claudius the Elder informs Canus of the outcome of the diplomacy. How Alvried wants war. Canus responds by telling Claudius he should do what’s right. Alluding to Oersus, the King of Gods’ place in this matter. Mentioning that those like Alvried who yield to Crathakus are to drown in their desires. Laenas is to be contacted regarding the ensuing option to give the manor the cleansing fire Alvried chose.

The Year, 1692,
                
Between then and now, Canus and the legion are called out against Alvried. Slaughtering the manor owner and his slave. Taking their heads as prize. Leaving them on Claudii Familia’s doorstep as a gift. This being satisfying to Manius Curio. The only thing left to do is to destroy the manor for Oersus, and let Ban, the goddess of nature, to reclaim it for Gaesus, the god of wine. To cleanse the evil of Crathakus that inhabits it.

CBs: (Provide a list of CBs you believe to have with proof to back them up. These will be reviewed by moderators for approval.)

  1. Diplomacy was conducted, and the outcome was a choice of war, more specifically, fire, after two attempts at a peaceful resolution to the land dispute.
  2. The Velian Pantheon of Gods are offended by the manor, and thus the people of Velia think it’s an evil place that needs to be destroyed.
  3. The Owner of the Manor has been killed IRP (PK or not is irrelevant), and thus the place needs to be destroyed as well as a cleansing ritual.
     

Alvried, the Manor Owner was approached with diplomacy and offered peace in two forms of compromise. The first attempt denied was in the form of offering to buy his manor. The second attempt denied was to be allowed to build within 50 meters (blocks) of his manor without being grassed up for eviction. With both options of peace denied, he was given the option for what happened next; peace, or war? He chose war.

 

Side A: (The faction posting the warclaim)
Familia Claudii of Colonia Aequium,  and Volunteer Citizens of Velia.

 

Side B: (The faction responding to the warclaim.)

Alvried, and those that live within the manor.
 

Proposed Date & Time: 8/12/2018 @ 23:59 GMT

 

Proposed Rules: (Suggest any unique modifications or restrictions for this warclaim.)

  • This will be a surprise tactical operation. Conducted in the middle of the night.
  • There should be no allies allowed as the attack will be so sudden.
  • I’d actually like this battle entirely RP’d, no PvP unless it truly gets out-of-hand. PvP could be engaged if circumstances permit it.
    • We will need at least 1 GM supervising the RP.
       

Location: (Provide a screenshot of the area being warclaimed from the dynmap.)
