Narthok 9213 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2023 Notice of Impending Raid Spoiler My allies have recently been informed that the coalition will be holding some kind of human festival. I am writing now to inform all relevant parties that the alliance will be raiding the festival. My warriors have raided and burned the countryside of the coalition, this ‘army of eight’, yet the warriors of the coalition refuse to take the field. We have captured the chieftains and the shamans of the coalition yet again the warriors of the coalition refuse to face us. Refuses to even ATTEMPT to rescue their leaders and allies. I will not pretend to understand the ways of the tonguedancers and the lie speakers. Perhaps words do not bind you the way they bind us. There are those of you who decry our actions as ‘barbarous’ and ‘uncivilized’. I will take this time to explain ourselves. I am certain it will change no minds, but Grommash is known as a truthspeaker amongst his own people. So I will speak truth here. At every turn we have called the leaders of the coalition to peace. Each time we have captured the chieftains and Rexes of the coalition we have sent letters to the coalition. Each time we have asked for negotiations for peace. Again and again we have been declined. It is understandable to decline such requests when one is winning. Why negotiate when you could take. The intent of the coalition is the complete annihilation of our lands and our peoples. They have not offered terms, they have not spoken of peace. They have at every turn endeavored for our complete eradication. When Grommash became Hordespeaker, he first went to those who had invaded the Hordelands. Those who defiled our sands and our dunes. Those who trespassed on the hunting grounds of the Urukim. They were told to leave the lands of the Urukim, and that they would have peace. If they refused to leave, or if they trespassed further they would be killed. The wolf eats the slow rabbit. And the wolf eats the greedy bear who invades the den. Our lands belong to us, the Urukim. We have chosen to share them with our Hordebrothers. We will not share them with outsiders. The raiding and the burning of your lands has not been ‘barbarous’ or ‘uncivilized’, these have been our response to your INVASION and your attempted GENOCIDE of MY PEOPLE. Grommash is Hordefather, Hordespeaker. The Orcfather has given me this task of leading the Horde to a new tomorrow. We may be cursed with the blood rage, but it is our task to conquer it. We smashed the coalition at Westmark. We have taken your Rexes and their playthings from their fortresses. We are winning. But unlike your leaders, our words have meaning, and we are not animals. Our terms are simple. We will discuss them at any time. My warriors will not kill for the sake of killing. But they will kill to put an end to the invasion of our lands and the eradication of our people. Peace is a choice. Make it. Until peace is made no festivals or other gatherings will occur without raids. I will see you all at the festival 43 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeSmoothie 4938 Share Posted December 21, 2023 John stood, in silence, before a urn of his son's ashes. Bitter tears stung his cheeks and burnt his eyes red - he was tired. But he gripped his sword, knuckles white, and prepared to fight that same fight over again as little Alfonso would have. "Barbarians," he spat. "Murderers." 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Jandy_ 3193 Share Posted December 22, 2023 4 hours ago, tilly said: “Aaahhhh!” Renilde gets scared, or at least pretends to be. [!] Just hours later the Haense capital was ransacked with the King butchered and the Queen captured. Perhaps fear will now be made true within the hearts of these petulantly arrogant sharas. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly 3685 Share Posted December 22, 2023 "Huh, weird. No raid here." Renilde looked from side to side in the ballroom where 3200 Petrans enjoyed themselves over drinks and laughter. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
