Skanarri - Retribution

[Sham404 518]

Posters are found throughout Norland and on roads to other northern realms. They appear hastily made, the rough hand betraying the fury of the writer. The edges are emboldened with the red and green of Clan Vildr.

It has come to my attention of a grievous crime and injury afforded to my wife, Herilissa Vildr, by the Skanarri of the north.

Under pretense of peace talks, the Skanarri attacked our King and his envoys, my beloved among them.

In her arms was my son, not even a year old. Sindri Vildr, who thankfully was unharmed.

This did not stop the Skanarri from attacking her, a woman barely recovered from childbirth, with a swaddling babe in her arms.

Two javelins struck my wife, dealing her grievous injury, though the swift actions of a healer saved her life.

 

This wounding of my wife, and risk afforded to my son, will not go unpunished. I, Edric Vildr, challenge and demand satisfaction from the Skanarri - give me the head of the man or men that did this, or I will make it my purpose on this plane to bring death and destruction to your people until the flames of my life expire.

 

There will be no haven for you to take refuge in. No fortress that will protect you, no shadow that will hide you, and no distance that will save you. Retribution will be had.

 

                                                                                 Signed,                                               

     Edric Vildr                                 
 

On the road to Nueva Tierra, still occupied by the Skanarri, a unique message is attached. Beneath the poster dangles a pair of severed hands from a Skanarri warrior, and a message:

 

Savages. I do not know who among you committed this violation, and until I am afforded retribution I will make it my purpose to deprive each and every man hailing from your tribe of both of their hands, on the off chance that it was them.

Daria Vildr would help her uncle to hang up the posters, furious of what had happened to her aunt and newly born cousin.

Halard Stormheart would happily pledge his help to this cause, considering he already has personal reasons to track down those responsible for the attack.

Not long after, a Skanarri Runner would find their way to the Vildr clanhouse and drop off a very poorly written letter. Left with this letter also contained a box roughly the size of a human head.

 

"To Clan Vildr,

I, Grejon of the Skanarri, wish to present this to ye as one chieftain to another. If ye look inside the contents of this box, ye'll find the head o the man who attacked yer wife an' son. Immediately after the battle, the same man was strung up and subsequently beheaded fer his attempt on an innocent child's life. While ye may call us savages, we do not stoop so low as teh murder babies.

-Grejon."

 

 

 

 

Inside the box, if opened, contained the severed head of a Skanarri warrior whom had apparently thrown the javelines at Herilissa Vildr and her child.
