Hanrahan 2885 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) "It truly is amazing the extent to which ancient enemies will band together to defeat an imaginary monster." Edward Napier would comment sardonically. "How many men of Helena died to repel the AIS from the walls of Reza? My Grandfather bled there, as a man foreign to Haense, yet fought for it. Now the same PAGAN men who once wished to tear down the walls, and assault the people of Haense and their CHURCH find an ally in it. A tragedy, forsooth, when the Brotherhood of St. Karl aims to fight with PAGAN NONHUMANS against CANONIST HUMANS for the petty desires of foreign lords."

makeitsoyoucandeleteaccounts 610 Share Posted March 11, 2021 [ ! ] Not far from where the original announcements remained, sheets of paper containing a small poem would lay about, dancing with the wind as it spread their radius further. "The Mercatorii Clock Remains Still, Hail the Nightmare, Those who Ally Oren Shall Fall, Those who Oppose it Shall Rise, God save Oren, for no one else Can." 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
