AnonymousAlexa 3842 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2021 [!] A public letter would find itself widespread across the continent of Almaris, penned by the Rustler Boss herself. To the denizens of Norland, Your King is a coward. He possesses no honor, nor accountability for his abhorrent actions. Just prior this Elven day, King Vane was negotiating peace terms with the High Chieftain of the Skanarri, Grejon. When in disagreement of the terms, the High Chieftain challenged King Vane to a duel of honor to resolve the specific agreements of the treaty. The King refused. King Vane has made it perfectly clear that he is nothing more than a craven who is undeserving of the Norland crown. In addition to his dishonor and cowardice, King Vane is an incompetent leader. He allowed a force of his own men to march their death when they decided to raid a Rustler wedding with the express purpose of forcefully taking the groom from his soon-to-be bride. The King should have known that leading a force of Norlanders into an equal number of Rustlers was naught but suicide, even with their Ferrymen reinforcements. King Vane’s cowardice and incompetence display his internal corruption, as evidenced by the Third Tenant of the Red Faith: Stand against the Long Dark, which reads: "The craven...can be taken as examples of those with excessive internal corruption. When these cases are identified and properly condemned via a priest of the Red Faith then the only recourse is to submit them to the All Father’s mercy. They are to be tied to a stake and purified with Holy Fire. This will give them some small chance of being purified of their corruption and sent to the Father’s own embrace.” For the good of Norland’s people and the continued upholding of their valued faith, I implore the priests of the Red Faith to declare King Vane’s mind to be corrupted internally. Once such a conclusion is ideally reached, I ask that he be given the same treatment as those others corrupted, and be embraced into the Holy Flame. While the Skanarri may have backed down from their pursuits against Norland, the Rustlers have not. We will not until the priests of the Red Faith honor their endeared religion and hold the detestable King Vane accountable for his actions. Penned by Rustler Boss, Elsil’Ceru [!] A propaganda poster would accompany the letter, depicting the King of Norland with the word “Coward” in red, scrawled across the image. 36 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Vane yawns, going to take a nap in the Kitchen in the tavern, as per his tight napping schedule "I guess they were so mad they lost the other day that they had to cope about lying about my leading a force of norlanders against them." 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Friday 11 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Moriaen was waking up in the morning, dreary eyed and yawning loudly. Stepping outside, he saw a missive at the foot of his door. He picked it up to read it. He smacked his lips. "...Huh." He threw it in his fireplace. "Kindling." 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstriaS 3609 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Alisa Camian read over the missive with mild interest, content to enjoy the idiocy of foreigners in her old age. And, of course, as she read over it, she had a series of thoughts, which she relayed to those around her at the time, as spiteful old women tend to do. 43 minutes ago, AnonymousAlexa said: the High Chieftain challenged King Vane to a duel of honor to resolve the specific agreements of the treaty. The King refused. "Well, the first issue I see is a fundamental misunderstanding of Norland's laws governing the tradition of dueling. The King was well within his rights to refuse as duels of honor are not to be used as a means to settle common arguments, or to determine the passing of lands or titles. So there's the first mistake." 43 minutes ago, AnonymousAlexa said: Third Tenant of the Red Faith: Stand against the Long Dark, which reads: "The craven...can be taken as examples of those with excessive internal corruption.

They are to be tied to a stake and purified with Holy Fire. This will give them some small chance of being purified of their corruption and sent to the Father’s own embrace.” "Oh. Joy, the foreigners are taking an interest in the Faith," The Priestess then remarked with disdain. "Firstly, the word is spelled 'tenet', but I suppose I would be asking too much to expect literacy. Secondly, they're citing doctrine that is centuries old at this point as well as misunderstanding the definition of the word craven. Cowardice implies flight; fear. But, I guess someone whose range of social skill is limited to stabbing and whining would have trouble making sense of normal interpersonal interaction. Telling someone who is accompanied by a small retinue of armed soldiers 'no' a few feet from his face is not an expression of fear, it is a simple denial. But, again, this takes a degree of social awareness, which I shouldn't expect from illiterate, apparently-disabled children." 43 minutes ago, AnonymousAlexa said: I implore the priests of the Red Faith to declare King Vane’s mind to be corrupted internally. "Finally at the bloody end of this thing. This would only come to pass if Vane were a mage- which he's not- possessed by a demon- which he's not- a creature of the night- which he's not- or the living embodiment of some immoral behavior- which he's not." With that, the old woman crumpled her copy of the letter and tossed it in the bin. "Poor bait. Try harder." She remarked in conclusion. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyrvun 1252 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Saevin looks the missive over with a perked brow "Wai' soh otha people don' play hide-n-seek with these fahkin' cobbers?" he addresses an empty tavern, the mist, and undead since vanquished from the Stygian Hollow. "Oy've kept them just close enough to look far me for hours in tha hollow. They's aint seen a peek. Whys they complainin' about the blokes they can see? And nay tha fahker's they can't? Sounds loik theys got a bit of copin' to do." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergisala 2739 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Sir Charles Galbraith would be drinking a glass of helenan wine with Lord Joseph d'Azor in The Novellen when he heard of the public letter of the Rustlers. "So these brainless bandits are now calling the Chieftain of the Nordlings a coward? This comedy club called Norland is definitely very funny." The former Solicitor-General would cackle and continue making jokes with the former Chief of the War Office regarding the Nordlings until dawn. @Taketheshot 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pintape 116 Share Posted September 4, 2021 A certain 'Ker reads the paper, his thumbs fumbling slightly in the frigid cold. He draws a sharp breath and rubs the ice forming on his eyebrows off.

He stands up to stretch and continues on his journey, dissatisfied with the "King". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
