DAENGIE 468 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2020 [!] A flock of ravens blackens the Northern sky, many copies of a letter to the Rex of Krugmar carried in their grasp as they fly south. A Letter to the Rex of Krugmar Year 4 of the Second Age To the Failed Rex of Krugmar, It has come to the attention of the people of Norland that, in spite of nearly a century of friendship between our peoples, you and yours have gone out of your way to place a man of the North in chains. Firstly, let our disappointment be known; your claim to your title is a hollow one. You have, in less than a year of leadership, shown yourself unworthy of even a fraction of the respect paid towards your predecessor, the ever honorable Murdok'Lak. You have, in that time, broken bonds of friendship that had otherwise lasted through generations of leadership for both our peoples. In light of this attack on a Norlandic subject, it has become clear that there is no path forward save for the path of might. Let the coming days be a lesson to you; a lesson in the consequences of failure and dishonor. The men of Norland shall answer your aggression in kind, and they shall continue to do so until such time as the dishonor of the Failed Rex is answered for. As is our due right, you will answer to our demand of weregild, or our price will be taken in blood. Below is listed the expected payment due to the Kingdom of Norland: 27 standard pallets or one standard chest of metallurgical coal 9 standard pallets of bronze Payment in the amount of 1,000 mina Unimpeded access to Krugmar mines for all Norlandic Workers. Norlanders to be exempt from tribute until the end of time To be paid in total or in installments, as per King Halvar’s discretion Should this offer of reconciliation between the peoples of Norland and Krugmar be denied, no choice will be left but to declare a war of honor. However, despite the outbreak of hostilities, Norland remembers her friends even in times when they come to blows. Our fight is with the Rex, not with the Orcs below him. Know that for those orcs who don’t wish to fight, the request will be granted, and for those who wish to join in our battle, station shall be given to do so. By the order of, Halvar Edvardsson I, King of Norland, Duke of Varhelm, Protector of the Highlanders 39 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AfroJoeTheOlogBro 1093 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Murdok'Lak chomped the bit of his pipe, shaped in the form of Laklul's tongue that came with the staff of Laklul lovingly made by a very old human friend. He muttered and snorted as he smoked his pipe and read the missive that had fallen onto his well-kempt hair out in the back swampy creeks of the Krugmari lands, where he sat, building himself and his life mate and cubs a shack to raise toalaks, praise the spirits, and generally relax from his rather war torn life "Hrm.......Well diz nub bode well at all.......Nubhozh indeed....." He patted his now aged and color dulling toalak mount, Grumbo, on its slimy hind leg before scrambling onto its back, beginning to ride to somewhere.... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sygnus_ 159 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Aroiia Elena Tundrak would smile, as she heard news of the letter sent by the King of Norland. The Snow Elven woman would then think to herself: "Ah so it's finally time for Norland to take up Arms against this bold move made by the Rex of Krugmar. Let us see if your actions have inspired your followers enough to fight your battles." The Mali'fenn would then continue on her way, presumably to go sharpen her sword before saying aloud, "Iron from Ice" 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotbox_monk 957 Share Posted December 24, 2020 The weary dwarf would approach the gate of his empty hall, receiving the missive from the courier through the iron bars that bore between them. Returning to his study with the parchment clenched in his hand he'd settle himself onto a split log, before momentarily sliding a blade through the seal. As he thoroghly examined the details he'd let a hefty huff through his beard "Krug 'as ah debt dat goes unpaid." 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbarah 5015 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Ancelie would solemnly peer over Halvar's shoulder at the array of stamped missives and nods once, heaving a heavy sigh as she declared: "Iron from Ice." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draiden 319 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Tavish would return from his monthly hunting trip, sweat heavy from his brow despite the freezing cold. His armor was heavy, his pack laden with the pelts, meats and fish he had caught in the week. He'd find the missive stabbed into the Barrel Throne. much to his surprise and dismay. After a quick read-through, he'd let out a sigh. "Iron from Ice. Looks like I'll take my armor off some other time." 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
