The Black Lubba 563 Share Posted June 17, 2024 A State of Neutrality Issued at Year 186 of the Second Age Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. Lurin is a most peaceful state. One devoid of treachery and darkness. May the sun forever shine brightly upon us. After having both orchestrated and attended the peace negotiations between Vikela and Lurak, the Serene State of Lurin recommended the Vikelan government to accept the terms of peace mostly to avoid the loss of lives and resources. After the talks happened Lurin was unable to establish a route to move their troops safely to the orcish lands but even then, we do not wish to fight for someone who prefers war over peace like Vikela, people who were offered peace terms that were reasonable and still declined them. That being said, the State also does not want to fight for Lurak, Lurin was established over two fundamental pillars: neutrality and serenity. The CCC was a pact formed to keep peace between the east coast of the continent, but when one of its members jumps recklessly to a war, Lurin will never risk their wellbeing both economically and of the population to aid in such a wicked endeavor. For that reason, I, Lumia Uialben, the Silver Lubba of the Most Serene State of Lurin declare; We will not fight, neither against Lurak nor against the Vikelans. We are not preparing war and we will not prepare for it, we stay neutral, and we will remain as a Serene State for we win nothing from a war, and Aevos wins nothing from a war.There are more important matters that concern us; the perpetual night or the rise of darkspawn for example, matters that Lurin is working to combat, may our world recover their Serenity. ETERNAL, WE STAND, LONG LIVE THE LUBBA! Lumia Uialben The Silver Lubba of the Most Serene State, Matron of House Uialben, Heiress of House Anarion, Protector of the Whispering Isles 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
____Spectral____ 168 Share Posted June 17, 2024 Norido would let out a small sigh of relief upon discovering the missive "Good, good, my home here is safe, hopefully. However, I'm dreading the future though, as I fear others may not accept the peace offer." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
satin 7600 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2024 "This is an insane document," Serwa muses. "Vikela did not 'jump recklessly into war', Lurak declared war on them because they thought their home looked ugly - an obvious cover for simple aggressive expansionism. It is also mindbending that Lurin ever even considered aiding the orcs in this war. If the CCC was formed to keep peace, and a foreign aggressor looks to distrupt that, is peace not preserved by putting down the agressor? This policy of appeasement will not end well for Lurin. The orcs now know that Lumia is unwilling to defend their allies - when they come knocking on the marble gates of Lurin, is anyone going to help her and her people? I suspect not. After all, she has set the precedent." 55 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laeonathan 5891 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2024 "It appears Lurin has set the new standard for worst ally," Raziel Amethil scratched his head. "Was there even a singular Lurinite willing to fight for the defense of their allies? They saved their own hide. But the price comes at the cost of reputation, but this one will be far worse than what we suffered. For you did not even try." The mali sighed. 41 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird5k 1083 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2024 Xavier Adiler read the poor excuse of an announcement and scoffed "I wonder if Lurin would have this same heart if they were in the same situation" 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigergiri 3073 Share Posted June 17, 2024 Andria's eyes narrowed as she read the missive, pausing at the phrase "devoid of darkness and rise of darkspawn" She slowly crumpled the paper, her fingers tightening around it before casting it into the trash. 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muckelpu 291 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2024 Aher'khel scoffed at the missive very first sentences. "Devoid of Treachery and Darkness? It was your very own prince who attempted to take my haeluns life. Attempting to take ellie from her family, because she threw a tandrumm." - "I've grown up on your streets and still visit. Demons frequent this city and are left unbothered. Your words hold no value or honor." The paper was then sunk in a barrel of water, the flames of her forge were not to be bothered with this piece of paper. 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonke 6014 Share Posted June 17, 2024 "It seems their leader is playing chess with herself." A templar commented a little as she went through the document. Alas, she was not quite the eager warrior for this war at all, but nonetheless, she couldn't hide the amusement of the tomfoolery moves of Lurin. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisket 4543 Share Posted June 17, 2024 “The day will come, when they ask for help. They day will come, when none shall answer” Ember looked upon the document with a blank closed eye expression. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karina 1900 Share Posted June 17, 2024 O'zen, creature of terrible darkness, briefly regarded the missive on the way back to their home in Lurin. The politics of the situation were what made her laugh. A gurgling, terrible thing. How quick they were to abandon their allies in the face of the faintest hint of threat. The draugar started to put to thought new slogans for the state. Eternal, we run? Eternal, we flee? There was something in there, maybe. She considered writing a recommendation to the Lubba. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapphic_spidy 1089 Share Posted June 17, 2024 "Th' peace conditions were total removal of Vikela entirely!" Sydney remarks to no one. "Wasn' it?

ECS1999 1121 Share Posted June 17, 2024 Edvard reads the missive with a nod "Suddenly everyone is so worried about Vikela but noone sends help, i guess it's just easier to rant on Lurin for wanting to remain neutral" 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancho 4197 Share Posted June 17, 2024 Cerrick of Khamees, a Former Paladin of Xan, peered upon the missive, stamping a response to the bottom of the copies of all CCC nations. "Lurin attempted to consort with Infernal beings after the announcement of their withdrawal. This missive is them attempting to save face after the world saw through their oathbreaking. Perhaps someday they shall regain their honor, but not with us." 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a nice day! Spoiler Consistently responding to RP replies on a post isn't cool. Please put OOC in spoilers btw 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
