Addressing Lurin

[Tigergiri 3073]

 

[!] This was address to all of Lurin. Quill to paper. Nothing fancy expect for a signature.

 

 

---

 

 

 We stand united. We stood united. Yet there is a chance to stay united.  
 

A treaty signed by peace, and to keep each other safe that was the promise that was made. A promise Is like the illusions one tries to glamour themselves with. At the end of the day the mask has to fall and true colors must be shown. 

 

It greatly disappoints Vikela the actions that have shown such. But with such actions truth shall be shed to light. 
 

It is with much displeasure I bring to the world what actually happened that night since you do not have the dignity to tell your own people.

 

That night before the notice was posted, you were made of aware of what was going on. All the coastal leaders were made aware of the turmoil in the south. There was much to discuss and time to do it. Amongst those that were told whether through letter or Chatter,  The golden Lubba, Mika was told, for if not all those we trusted wouldn’t have been told.  Mikas has always been a friend and will always stay a friend to Vikela, for many reasons.

  

How it happened I do not know fully , I can only speculate what happened within your own council chambers. But I must picture that it came down with Mika holding the quill out to you. To honour your word to the people you signed a pact with.
 

To honour your word, but what is a word but just the weight of ink on paper? I have to wonder if you valued the meanings from the beginnings?  

Yet did you even have honour in your heart?

 

I must ask these questions to myself  to understand how it all went wrong.

 

Logically it makes no sense. Trade is your biggest asset. You, make deals and pacts and trade. But a merchant who can’t keep his word is nothing but a swindler, no better than a bandit giving false promises and abandoning the deal.  
 

I personally thought you were better than that, Lumia. We, Vikela, forged an agreement together, and you know you signed that parchment. The letter couldn't have come back to us without that signature. If there was forgery, it was with in your chamber, not our actions. I simply lay bare what you pointed at us. Forgery? Your jests of are from anything but funny.    Forgery of lies, perhaps.
 

I can’t fault you for running from danger—that is basic instinct. But it takes those cut from a different cloth to stand taller. I will no longer address you directly, I much would no longer even wish to know who you were , are and will be, because it will not go down in history. Instead, I speak to your people, whom I have come to know these past months. They are cut from that different cloth.

 

 

To the people of Lurin, the fighters, the dreamers, those who keep their word,

 

I do not believe you wish to end this fight, not where it’s been left. Many of you followed your leaders into battle for peace of mind. If you wish to depart now, then perhaps all my words and thoughts were in vain, but I can understand the value of one’s life, to protect all that holds dear.But I believe there is more here than meets the eye.
 

There are still fighters among you who wish to uphold the alliance forged in companionship. 

 

To you, I say stay. Continue to fight. Keep the resistance alive and give Vikela one final stand. At the end of this era, it is companionship that brought Vikela together, and it is companionship that will keep it. I implore you, join the fight, as friends as companions. Will you stand and fight as you did in the beginning, or will you run back in the city? For those who wish to continue to fight, there will be a place within vikela for you take shelter in.  
 

Either choice is yours to make and there will be no further judgement on your actions , as they are your own. But I shall warn you only what I know to be true, from dealing with Krugmar and Orc diplomancy as a whole for the past three hundred years. The orcs know you fear them now. The orcs knows you just betrayed an ally, and know at least Lumia is an oathbreaker, and if we, Vikela falls, who’s to say they will stop at us? 

 

The choice is yours. 

 

 

                                               Sincerely,

                                        Andria Rosalis

[!] A paper is pinned under the missive:

"Lurin has been working with the CCC to achieve peace with the orcs. We took all last night to get it, it's up to your queen now if she wants to avoid bloodshed or not; Lurin stays by its acts. Vikela was offered peace once before and laughed at their enemies.

The CCC was formed to bring peace, not to fight for people who cannot fight their wars, it was a Concord to remain peaceful in the coast, not to lose our lives for people who are so brave to laugh at the face of a bigger threat than themselves.

The terms for a new era of peace have been settled, Lurin and Vortice told your Queen what their thoughts were, if she listens you all will be fine, if she does not then there's nothing we can do to save your lives; maybe you should start by thinking why noone wants Vikela as a neighbour."

"One of the most hollow defensive alliances I've ever seen, their land is literally free real estate" Brother Ninnias concludes

[Royal_sheep 141]

Akari read through the missive with a frown.

"Too many words, too few meanings"

He muttered to himself. Then, unimpressed by their political attempt, the Maehr walked away.

[The Black Lubba 563]

“I do not care to read such long boring looking missives from people who make themselves enemies.” The Ker rolled her eyes after scanning over the missive, not really reading it. She’d crumple it into a ball, and toss it into the fireplace.

[Reckless Banzai Screamer 15456]

“Yare yare, if only we had taught them the principles of Bushidō in our big sibling, little sibling relationship per the Treaty of Sakuragakure…” A military governor lamented from many years ago. Instead he disappeared getting the milk ;(.

[TheGekko 129]

Two pearly white pupilled eyes blinked a few times, unsimotaneously to one another as the Ker sat there trying to read through the unformatted wall of text that was this missive. Another sentence, and her attention span and concentration would have unalived itself and she’d have completely lost the thread of what had been written. 
 

“ehhh..?”

 

She muttered in thought, trying to make head and tail of what she had read before a line in it struck a cord with her, bringing out a not-so long ago memory in her mind as she turned to Lumia with a perplexed expression.

“Loom? Vy did ne try to tell anyone from any nation to abandon home un move to Lurin, even though vy dream to house all willing ker here, right?”

 

Although Lumia had already had the chance to read the missive once, Yelena reached over her own copy of the missive towards Lumia, pointing at a specific segment.

 

”..but this makes it look like Vikela wants to implore the Lurin people to move to their place. Ea remember when Luciana un ea went to Celian’or, we got banished from setting foot there again just because Luciana mentioned vyr dream to a couple people there…”

"I would not worry over it. Vikela will be nothing more than a vassal by the end of this war.  Nary more than a refugee camp up in Vortice most likely. I offered to still aid them, but only if they paid for the movement of our troops, directly to their Queen and she flat told me they did not want our help." Lumia shrugged.  reaching out and ruffling her daughter's hair.  She knew better than to be bothered by senseless incongruent blathering.

Pinned under this paper was a scrap of parchment in a familiar handwriting to some with the following question...or questions
"dose one not expect another to fight for home? for what they have spent so long to build with blood, sweat and tears and when in times of need to turn to their alliance for help just to have backs turned to them? im sure you would fight for lurin even if the threat was bigger then ones own force."

[Chrisoulis777 492]

A inferni would get a hold of the missive from the dead body of a man , before starting to read it

 

”From fighting for our freedom to escape the cruel leaders of Lurin… now begging for there help to save us… Vikela has fallen after my depart”

 

The exiled prince called out before letting out a chaotic laught , before stabbing the massive on the dead body before departing

[DizzyGrey 1229]

Prince Narithen Uialben looked over the new missive, grimacing. 

"Vikela has been given a choice, and has a moment now to decide how their leadership is to be forged. Fight and risk the lives of their citizens over pride and rocks, or surrender and live another day at the cost of a very bitter pill to swallow. It's not one I envy. Nor the position that necessitates such a thing." He says to no one.
