HIGH_FIRE 4135 Share Posted April 14 "Not even a year and we have a copycat alliance" The Queen of Balian muses with a light laugh as she show her son @Haraldthe missive. She looked over it again for some moments "If only people had original thoughts, ah well nothing to worry about I shall say" 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harald 2504 Share Posted April 14 "One should think they would attempt to do something for themselves by now Imma.. Yet it must be said that the Caelian's seem to be dying out.. and the city of Healun'or is dead most of the time itself. Only Kaethul keeps the Silver State floathing in truth." The young Prince shook his head then as he took a sip of his lemonade.. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MailC3p 1159 Share Posted April 14 “It took the Uruk long enough to finally decide to announce ths confederation to the world, we’d have signed this over a decade prior to the Valah recreating Oren for the quintillionth time” Sighed the Sohaer 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewdrawings 460 Share Posted April 14 Yera sips from her cup of tea. "Well it's been almost a decade of talking and discussing this alliance. It's good that we finally have a platform for some good old fashioned neighbourly trade routes and commerce. Time to start carving out some tunnels for a rail network, and some contract writing. A century without war would be nice. There were too many bandits in the last, and I'm looking forward to peace." 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlternisJ 128 Share Posted April 14 "Why... Are we on it?" The uruk would pass the motion to Apollyon who was sat next to him "It's been more then multiple decades since we were kicked out of the Horde and yet we have a vote? What insanity is that..." he let out a small chuckle as he read over it. "About time to, I remember discussing this a decade ago. Oh well." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogoBojo 3980 Share Posted April 14 Hogo Bojo, Geopolitical Mastermind-Analyst noticed that the Vikelan Queen’s signature seems to be absent from the Confederacy’s declaration, despite them being mentioned as a signatory. “Did The Confederacy forget to have her sign it?" He would ponder to himself, while drinking some Carrion Black by his crackling fireplace. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLNGO 287 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Kezmur, currently on vacation with the Vinteki crew, gets notice of the announcement that took two decades to create, along with countless nights between him, Gundnant, and the now deceased Grommash. Despite this delay, he was heard screaming "ZOUTHERN PRIDE!!!" for hours. Edited April 14 by RLNGO 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zemzy_Oakheart 167 Share Posted April 15 Seeing one of the parchments drift by from the roads of the sands, Gummy would catch the scrap from the wind. It would take a moment to skim over its contents, but would proceed to recycle it to carry her bundle of Diddyfunkle more securely than before as she traveled on her route once more. "Thank Krug for gift, very uzeful for herbz." The small goblin would chitter to herself, content with the chanced opportunity to find such an unlikely moment on her own time. She would simply look up to the sky above with a smile as she suspected the gods to have blessed this day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
