"Do not kill Canonists, lest they be Balianese." "Sir they're all Balianese!" "Ah. Go ahead then."

 

An open letter to the Paladin Order and their Vassal Balian:

 

                           It is a saying in Luraq that the Craven surround the Craven; in other words, it is telling that the Paladin Order content to sit behind walls and hide whilst others fight for them chose to ally themselves with the grandest cowards upon the continent. A shame then, that when we requested the bells be rung to announce our presence, they were not. A shame also that we have stolen your ship. The Paladin Order will have to make due with the "Queen's Retribution" (See a Flaming Sea), should they wish to ever traverse off continent.

                      

                           Now the question you are asking yourselves, what will become of the Paladin's Vessel- the grandest ship in all Aevos? That is simple, it will join the fleet of Luraq in sailing under contract for the Azdrazi Banner. We have affectionally nicknamed it "The Enlightenment," though many have simply taken to calling it "The Azdromoth" or even "Luraqi Drop Party." I am quite fond of the latter.  Remember next time you wish to make war upon them, that they now have a ship bearing 28 cannon and two ballistae over two decks.

 

                           I would appreciate if you lot (the Paladins) would explain to X*n why you have tossed away every gift he has bestowed upon you. Perhaps it is true, as the Order is Married to X*n that they also feel a longing to cheat upon him with others? Much to think about, and much to contemplate.

 

                           As always, a pleasure,

                                              Daahd'Lur, Saint-Slayer, Grand Kapo of Luraq, Admiral of Azdromoth.

The Nephilim Azli walked the city square of Balian trotting around, marching around each shop corner noticing the empty city- Few citizens harbored it, he was filled with a grievous frustration. 

"So mighty their words were!" 

[Geckonawa 87]

A beggar stood in Balian's main square as the Azdrazi and their Heralds made preparations to heist the paladin's ship. He was a man who looked like he deserved a break, especially since he lived here. The herald gave him what little coin she had on her and asked that he would stay out of the trouble that would come. Balian wouldn't just let them take the ship without a fight... Surely...

"Sybille, your promise has been less than kept."

 

Wrote the An-Gho

 

"My people grow weary. You leave us waiting." 

[Xergarok 371]

An ancient dwarf going by the name of Tungdil Goldhand traverses the polished rooftops of Balian. The mask of Dungrimm conceals the visage of this must-be imposter.  "Excellent business lads, with the tea in the belly 'o this moighteh vessel weh'll beh able tah make ah lotta profit!"

[Java17 1275]

Amako eyes one of the canons on the newly acquired ship. She turns to the An-Gho and says;

"Are they truly canonists if they've no canons?"

A normal Oyasha woman remembered those friendly azdrazi! She will be sure to prepare more tea for them...
