Sean_VEVO 984 Popular Post Share Posted February 12 ☩ ☩ ☩ "Will pride prevent peace? . . ." Over the last month I have penned hundreds of letters and corresponded with every Canonist Leader within the FAITHFUL FLOCK. While I have seen truths and lies among these, and heard sympathies and belittlements my offers remain the same. I will reiterate them publicly so all the FAITHFUL not just the KINGS and QUEENS may understand our position. Our people that choose to remain in the MIDDEN live in FEAR of not just their lives but their very SOULS. We understand that foul magic has made its way into the highest recesses of the HAENSETI court and invested the TSAR. They live with the constant threat of evil looming over them and stealing not just their livelihood and home but that of their children. Because of this… We, the Winburgh Uprising, men and women (formerly called soldiers of Midden, and now resign ourselves simply to be WARRIORS of GODAN) will lay down our arms if the following conditions are met: An occupying force other than that of the HAENSETI EMPIRE takes control of the city, overseen by the HOLY MOTHER CHURCH. An independent and NON-BIASED investigation is launched into the case of ALEKSANDR consorting with the LICH. Furthermore, I, SIR RADMIR MONTALT, will (if sworn on Holy Relics our offer will not be backpedaled) offer myself as hostage to the alliance so long as my host is not of HAENSE. If these conditions are met, my soldiers will STAND DOWN, and follow all terms of agreement. This offer stands, lives will not have to be lost, the security of your nations does not have to be compromised. We, the people of Midden, entrust our lives to the FAITHFUL. There is nothing that justifies an unjust massacre, will the pride of the HAENSETI prevent the Covenant from PEACE? -SIR RADMIR MONTALT 41 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amongus 338 Share Posted February 12 Philip Montalt frowned not at the demands, but out of concern for his son. "May the realms of Man listen to reason. We, all of us, need not fold to the power of one." 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Publius 3666 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Rigoberto de la Cruz worked the Fairweather Cafe in Petra, looking over his Ausecan helm. It was a slow day it seemed. Peering towards the once ever-closed gate, a courier stepped by and dropped a stack of papers off, ordered a drink, then went on his way. This very missive was that stack of papers. "Wait... They surrender to the Covenant? The war is over?" At that, the happy Hyspian poured himself a shot, and enjoyed his peaceful afternoon!

Baccaaa 49 Share Posted February 12 "There isnt any reason for them to deny people for wanting to stay away from evil, right?" Regina would mutter to herself as she looks on the note now on her desk next to the Ancient Atlas she has been working to recover, some shapes symbolising Winburgh among other cities. "I still remember when Winburgh was full of life..." she then sighs and turns her attention back on the Atlas ... 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nooblius 5794 Share Posted February 12 Markus Sarkozic watches over the events of his former domain with trepidation. His fingers anxiously twitch upon the pommel of his family blade Aventine (something he would never give up, despite his fondness for old books). "Was it so urgent to rise to rebellion only to Surrender as I had? I recall an agitation against my own maneuvers of surrender for the purpose of reconciliation." He paused to consult the expressions of his own sons, who were unlikely to raise any word of dissent against their father's character either in their familial trust or perhaps acknowledgement of his growing violent paranoia. Markus prattled on, "If the Covenant denies this, I would like to see what reason they have. My greatest complaint against House Van Aert was always that they would brandish their sword before having a chance to wield the pen. But by GOD, this coalition is hardly different! They cannot speak what they want of the Midden, nor communicate regarding their leader's suspected habits. It would be just war, even if not agreeable, should the wargoal be to suppress a previously violent regime- or to enforce terms of Surrender previously agreed by the sovereign of the Midland Realm. But nothing!" The former duke would continue to kvetch to any who would listen, and would waste his day whining about politics that he could after all instead do something about. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlanth 3539 Share Posted February 12 Calias Mareno wrote a short letter, publicizing it alongside that of Radmir's. "I understand that me and my kin are also wanted within the lands of the covenant. Although Haense in particular seems to wish for my head, I will offer it to any other of its members if these terms are met, the same as this good revolutionary man has done. Although I am sure that Haense will demand it is they that get claim over my death, I hope that it can be well understood I do not wish to have my corpse raised and forced into unholy practices." 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asutto 1990 Share Posted February 12 "stupid veletzian. don't you know it's wrong to declare war on an entire populous just because their king is ALLEGEDLY consorting with dark spawn. only true villains would do that!" spoke notorious haensetiti and imperial advocate, Erik Erikson from the Valdev outhouse. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureimp10 5179 Share Posted February 12 Josef picks up his copy of the Winburgh Proclamation. 'V.III. The city of Winburgh shall be peacefully evacuated over the course of two years with Covenant oversight, then demolished, and replaced with a monument to wars past and present for the peace and commemoration of all mankind. V.IV. The ‘Winburgh Memorial’ shall be claimed by no nation.' "Huh, that's crazy," He comments as he sets it back down. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jensen02 200 Share Posted February 12 The Ritter couldn't help but scoff at the final Remark " 'Haenseti Pride?' It is the martial pride of the Midlanders who prevent us from peace. Peace was in their hands; it was given to them only for it to be thrown away in less than a year." 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlemishSupremacy 4930 Share Posted February 13 "What point is there to requesting this when the treaty clearly outlined that Winburgh was to be dismantled and a monument to the fallen be constructed? Their defiance is not in the face of Haense alone, but in the face of all the Covenant. The treaty does not bid them to live under Haeseni rule, it bids them to leave the Midlands alltogether and live elsewhere." Grumbles Flemius in a mechanical manner as he reads over the missive in between siege weapon inspections. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
