COVENANT forces shall then meet at the tip of the NORTHERN HINTERLANDS within VELETZ. OPERATION TALIONIS requires the capture and neutralization of the HINTERLANDS. Expect heavy resistance from VELETZ and IRON HORDE forces. KING ALEKSANDR shall assume command of the main COVENANT detachment (taskforce “MITHRIL”), composed of the forces of HAENSE, AAUN, NUMENDIL, HYSPIA, and NORLAND and shall act as the vanguard of the COVENANT assault. PERCY DE LYONS will command a reserve with forces from URGUAN, BALIAN, and PETRA (taskforce “PALISADE”) to reinforce task force MITHRIL. CAPTAIN BANJO and GRAND KING SIGRUN ‘UNDEADSLAYER’ STONEHAMMER shall assume command of the GRYPHON BANNER (taskforce “GRYPHON”). They will fend off any attempted sallies from VELETZIAN forces. END OF BRIEF. AN EYE FOR AN EYE. AN ARM FOR AN ARM. Penned by Cesar II [!]The fresh ink of the parchment attached to the military brief begins to dry. We do not forget. We do not forgive. If your wish is to bend and break the Farfolk under your whims, then their storms of destruction shall befall you. If your wish is to make the Heartlands bleed, then their stones of retribution shall open your walls. If your wish is to see the Balianese suffer, then their tides of ruin shall sweep through your castles. If your wish is to subvert the Haeseni lands, then their blades of vengeance shall fall upon you. If your wish is to subjugate the Norlanders, then their eternal fire shall engulf you. If your wish is to conquer the Dwarves, then the hammers of their grudge shall end your ambitions. You claim peace, yet you attack our homes. You claim diplomacy, yet you bring an armed retinue who openly lust for bloodshed. Your words do not match your actions. You call us snakes, yet the cobra’s eyes twinkle beneath your masks. Your words reek of hypocrisy. A stench so foul, that the entire world of Aevos can smell it from beyond your borders. Your intentions are clear in your actions. As a wolf disguised in sheep’s clothing you attempt to threaten us into submission. You have no care for the wellbeing of others. We have attempted diplomacy before the war, yet it was met with a threat. Rather, you would lay in bed with the Orcish Horde who crave to see humanity suffer or submit to their imperial rule. You have danced to the tunes of conquest more than we have. If that is your wish, then so be it. You may hide in your straw castle, but the Covenant shall blow it down. For your crimes against humanity, for your lust for conquest, for your desire to sow chaos, you shall be punished. Heed my words Gaspard. Follow my warning Grommash. Judgment is coming.

oryP 972 Share Posted January 22 The Constable and Count of Marsana raised his blade up for inspection, before it made a return to its sheathe. "The damned veletzians are like roaches. When will vy know death, Gaspard? Demetrius made way for the main corridor of the Presidio to address the soldiers of the coming battle. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGH_FIRE 4118 Share Posted January 22 Returning from the first part of a cultural exchange in Haense with her children, a soldier would pass the orders off the Queen Sybille I. She would nod her head before passing them back and looking to her son and daughter "War shall be over soon, then you can explore more often!" she would speak to them both with a grin upon her face, certain they would be happy. @_yink_@Lirinya 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ContestedSnow 778 Share Posted January 22 Viktor 'Daemonsteel' busied himself with the saddling of newly raised and trained horses, his brows set in a fierce scowl. The work never stopped for the Duke-Quartermaster, and there was still much to do yet before this war was won. They shall take to the field yet again. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mady 3037 Share Posted January 22 A melodic humming could be heard from the rooms of the Princess Royal, Elena Casimira. Echoing through the halls of the Balianese Royal Palace, the Amiratus of Balian would repeat a certain lyric which had become stuck in her mind. “I think I like this little life. . .this little life. . .” 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese 2307 Share Posted January 22 Two candles were lit in Liridona’s room that night. A vase of poppies sat beside it. In the dim light, Liridona turned to face the wall. Upon it was a beautiful family portrait. But two faces were no longer present. Arn, and Poppiya. ”An eye for an eye,” The Amador vowed, reaching for her pink cape. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
