Ingrid was strolling the streets, hoping to sell her wares, when a vein popped right at her forehead.

“Good ****in’ luck, Charlie.” Renilde, the Archduchess who’d previously had this group as a vassal, recalled many a time where the Nords were uncooperative toward a singular goal, highly treasonous, and frequently disturbing of the peace. “If the Dwedmar think that this will be a good reason to come and bother Petra, they’ve got another thing comin’.”

As news reached Marol of this new contract between Urguan and the people she'd once considered her own, a deep frown came to her face. "Well, y'all really screwed it up on this one, huh? I was really hopin I wouldn' be havin ta work on the opposite side a y'all but ere we are.." She muttered to herself as she stocked her satchel with more medicine. "Perhaps I could reach out ta some'un.. advice 'gainst this foolhardy association. Though I s'pose it ain't a great association for either a them and they've come too far ta turn back now if a contract's been signed." She rolled her eyes then headed to her kitchen to make her favorite comfort meal, mushroom soup.

"May they foind our lands 'ospitable." The Grand King chartered some new maps of the kingdom of incluse Ragnarrholm

"urguan? Well, I certainly hope they don't expel their vassals for absurdities that occurred in their dreams, like the last human nation your people were living in.."  Adaranth shook his head before tucking the letter to his bag and continuing on his journey.

" HAHA im not surprised the pregnant woman beaters, decided to ally with the baby eaters " Estrid let out a bellowing laugh from her chambers as she tossed the missive into the flames behind her " Oh i do hope they send sigmund to play, he can see how his ex-family has grown so well without him, still its so funny to watch the desperate acts of the dwarves get so bad they had to hire brigands and cover it up as a vassal, HAH norland has em scared and pissing their pants huh?

"Despite what many people will say, I only hope my grandchildren are doing well right now." Eryane smiled softly, wondering if some day she'd finally get to meet them, soon.

It is becoming very clear that there are two groups here who have a distinct dislike for each other OOC, given that each post on each side here is getting reported by the other side. I want to be clear that bringing OOC feelings into your RP is a form of metagaming, even (maybe especially) if both sides are trying to find the flimsiest IC excuses to bring their OOC dislike into game. I suggest that both sides here take a step back, as the animosity currently displayed can easily lead into behavior that can generate harassment and toxicity infractions. Thank you.
