United We Stand

[HIGH_FIRE 4118]

 

 

 

---

 

 

Yesterday, a cowardly attack came upon the Kingdom of Balian. During my Coronation, a holy and sacrosanct tradition, the combined forces of Veletz, Krugmar and the Ferrymen took part in a raid upon Balian- killing many men, women and children. Our enemies have shown, they will never rest until our Kingdom is destroyed. They speak as if they’re the ones being prosecuted, but they were not the ones abducting our citizens, myself included over perceived slights from almost a century ago. And once again upon my coronation, they reared their ugly head.

 

It will not stand.

 

They believed that this would break our spirit- and at the conclusion of said raid burnt a symbol of our perseverity and courage, the Throne of Cloudbreaker. I say unto the people of our Kingdom, the people of the Covenant, and most importantly to you, the Anathema. Our spirit and will is indomitable. You will not break us- and you will find that in the coming Saint’s week your spears and banners shall find themselves broken upon the sands of our shore. Where your people shall die and perish in some distant land because of your thirst for control. Our people have only ever gone through tragedy and suffering, the prosecution of those who continue to label us Oren because they believe we will just lay down and weather the storm. But know my people, even with this shattered throne.

 

It shall not stand.

 

Try as you wish, to break us. For in every attack, every raid- you only unite and grow our Covenant’s bond stronger. We will not fold and we will not surrender until the ilk of Veletz, the bloodlust of Krugmar, and the wanton chaos the Ferrymen bring is removed from this plane. You shall not break us- and we shall annihilate you utterly, the only remnants of your memory upon this land of Aevos shall be your ruined keeps, your ruined cities, and the broken banners of your forces. All will remember your folly and never repeat it. To fold is to allow ourselves to be trodden upon. We will see this to the end. Our Kingdom will be free of the closed fist that wishes to extinguish our culture and history.

 

We will see you soon.

 

 

IN NOMINE DEI,

HER ROYAL MAJESTY , Sybille I, by the Grace of GOD, Queen of Balian, Viscountess of Pompourelia, Eflen and Anatis, Baroness of Brucca,Valens, Malenos and Ciavola, Lady of Portoregne, Atrus and Monterosa, Warden of La Costa Rubinissima, Protector of the Heartlanders and the South, etcetera.

[Shmeepicus 3942]

Percy al Lionhearted sharpens his blade as he stares upon the smouldering ruins of their throne. "It shall lay destroyed until they are extinguished. The time is almost upon us and soon their forces shall march on Balian. Yet it is there where we shall drive them back and find ourselves in their land once more." He commented to his cousin, Sybille I, who stood beside him.

"To use the right phrase. Found in foreign elven lands, these people would say! Slay Queen!"

 

Anna Cassiopeia would express to fellow children of the Balianese court with joy in her voice while they played with their dolls. Reenacting the horrible defeats of the siege of Breakwater and Brasca Keep.

 

[Lirinya 2646]

"For Balian ag for mea Queen,"  Poppiya chanted under her breath, "we will fight by vyr side."

[Narthok 9213]

Grommash grunts upon hearing a report of the missive "How can they claim to be 'united' when they run away, abandoning the people they are 'united' with to die" He'd shake his head, slamming his fist into a nearby wooden beam as the rage would rise within him, these dogs had the audacity to abandon their city and their warriors and then speak wordlies. This new Balarex had much to answer for. Both for the invasion of alliance land, and for the dishonour the crownless Balarex had already shown. 

 

"These animals invaded our lands, burnt our fortresses, now they complain when they must eat the fruits of war. It is the Hyspan and Numen vassals of Haense who occupy the dunes and hunting grounds of the Horde. It is the Haensemen who declared war on the Velemen, burning the fortresses of Brasca and Breakwater at the beginning of their invasion.

 

The young Hordespeaker would stride through the newly constructed village of Orcgrimmar. New tribes and clans streaming through the village gate as he did so. The culture of these humans was losing it novelty. Each passing day proved more and more that Krug had been wise and merciful to his children. By placing them in harsh lands he had saved them from the soft living and tonguedancing. It had made the orcs hard yes, but more importantly, it had made them honest. Grommash would far prefer the raging warrior charging him with an axe than these infuriating word games and deceptions. 

They call me a savage but it is not I who refuse to speak of peace. It is not I who send better men to die while I flee like a dog. Let them speak their lies and dance the tonguedance as is the way of their people. They will learn the truth of the driven axe and the flying arrow. The Wartruth."

The Queen who fled would meet her end at the end of his hammer. He would avenge the honour of those soldiers who had died for the Hurex with none.

Anatoliy I. Godunov read the missive with a grin - The battle was finally nearing.

 

The Baron of Haense rose to his feet, lofting a familiar polearm to his side - The weapon of his fallen uncle, and most recently his fallen brother.

 

"Krusae Zwy Kongzem." He let the missive drop to the floor of the damp, unknown cave - Leaving it there to be forgotten by time as he marched out. Come the battle, heretics and uruks would be slaughtered, their blood mixed together on the sandy beaches of Balian

- But right now, he had darkspawn to slay.

[Gavin_ 1834]

The Royal Procurator sits in his office reading the missive, his eyes narrowed. Though he wished the War would end, he knew that only a United force could take on the evil that was attempting to cross the threshold of Good, but more importantly, that Good would in the end, triumph over evil.

[Jentos 6881]

« Poor uncrowned Queen. Your people are united only so they might be left to die in your stead. And now that you’ve tasted the bitter price of war, you admit your black dream of genocide? Drink, Sybille - the cup grows bitter still. »

 

So spoke the one-eye’d warrior Jagobert to seemingly no one but himself. 

[wolfdwg 1497]

“The whinez un death throwz ub ah dying dog,” remarked Jreg’Gorkil as he sharpened his axe for the eve of battle that was yet to come.

"Yew are nay allowed ter kill off t'ae Orcs. T'ey are ah vereh much intended creation o' t'ah Great Farmer ahn oi shall see et tha' t'eir memoreh ahn peoples live on 'n some manner. T'ae orcish peoples will always beh welcome 'n Dúnfarthing nae matter how maneh othah realms wish t'ae see t'em extinct" states Mimosa Applefoot, Thain of the halflings.

"God save the Queen, damned be those who only seek our death and destruction." said Belisarios, an alchemist in the Kingdom of Balian, "They can call her the one who fled. They'll never look at themselves to be accountable. Such delusion people."

[Heartesy 349]

Misty saw the humor in this missive, reading over it she really couldn't even laugh anymore. Offering a scoff.

"They have begun and participated in a war they can not fight."

"When it was our men, women, and children slain, it was but not an issue. A victory, for them."

"To them, we- Veletz, Krugmar, the Ferrymen, Stassion, our forces were nothing but pieces of land for them to take. "

"And now look at this foolishness they write.. Cowardly attack, she writes, safe in her princess tower that she ran off to, abandoning her people and leaving them to die. Her first act as Queen, to run away, like many of the Coalition."

"If you did not want war, you should have not created it, fools."

 

Misty spat, dropping the missive unto the puddled ground..

"I don't believe the Velerex or Grommash has ever fled from a raid leaving their people to die. Yet the Haenserex and the Balarex have both done this. Perhaps truth is hard for those who dance the tonguedance" the hordespeaker would muse to his gathered warriors around the village bonfire.

[HurferDurfer1 2584]

"Make peace with us! Those alliance mutts say as they pillage and raid the country side of all lands, carrying off women and children if they aren't killed outright. Truly they must surely be seeking peace with such deplorable actions. The Veletzian alliance will not get the control they so desperately want, the world wont yield to these monsters." said Belie the Butler to the other servantry as he replaces candles and old bouquets around the Palace in Vallagne

*The orc chuckled listening to the Rex, this wasn't his first raid seeing the enemies abandon their post and run away like cowards*

 

"Whaz... Suzh embarrassment fors the coalitzon. Suzh embarassement yet again... Hez tho! At leazt wez got a Rex whoz fights for us!"
