TO OUR ALLIES ABROAD,

 

The Legions of Darkness are marching to sprawl over the River Constance. We will meet them on the field, and we will meet them at Enswerp. As a pagan host readies itself to put a fire to Canondom, we of Godwin’s folk remain resolute, and we shall make our stand here to live or to die. For a century, and even longer against the ancestors of the grandfathers of these invaders, our people have made the same choice: resistance.

 

They claim a mandate over the Heartlands and will ride to subjugate all in their paths. They will not stop at Aaun. They will not stop at Petra. They will not stop at Balian. They will not stop at Haense. Where their gaze is now set upon the hamlet of Enswerp which they intend to sack, and the woods and reliquaries of holy Calliopeburg which they seek to desecrate, homesteads and chantries of Mankind across Aevos shall soon meet the same fiery fate.

 

They may call their realm a different name, they may don different uniforms, pretend to swear fealty to other monarchs. But make no mistake - they return as the League of Veletz. Their purpose is dominion. Though they are lesser sires of lesser men, and but a sliver of the tyrant’s blood now remains in their veins, their goal remains what it had always been - the final and everlasting restoration of Aurelian’s Pertinaxi empire, with House van Aert at its helm and Mankind grovelling at their feet.

 

It would be foolhardy to claim that we have never erred, that we have never regretted, that we have never made a mistake. But Veletz lies about our brother James. We did not slay him. We have acted in grief, we have acted in revenge, we have acted as a human. But we have never acted wantonly, or with bloodlust, as the Host of Veletz does. Their concern for his fate is merely an act, a pretence for this invasion which we have already seen through.

 

Now is the time that we must act. There is one chance to halt the advance of Veletz, and that is now, at Enswerp. At Enswerp the record of our Kingdom shall be made. The mettle of Canondom shall be known.

 

We have raised a mighty fire on the Hand of Horen. We have ordered the beacons of the Langkette Mountains to be lit:

 

AAUN CALLS FOR YOUR AID.

Charles II, King of Aaun

 

[Caranthir_ 2533]

The newly minted Private Baldrick of the RSA puts down his plough and picks up his sword. For King and country, or to glorious martyrdom. This was the only way.

[ImDrippedJr 361]

And so it came that the beacons of the Barony of Artois were lit as Aaun called for it's allies.

[rep2k 3192]

The beacons of one Barony of Rosius were lit within a matter of seconds, the people beneath it professing their love and support for their king and fatherland!

[ImmortalShadowZ 1306]

The Norn would pick up the pamphlet from the ground as he walks through the empty city. "The King ponders his orb and looking towards the ravens for help it seems. That's truly freightening" He would say as he then continue down the road to the next empty city of the heartlands

[Javert 9615]

"You deny the killing of your own Brother, yet fail to deny the attack that took place on our soil. You claim we are ready to set fire to the rest of canondom, but we of Ravenmire are of the faith. You fail to punish those who attacked your own people and promote them to places of leadership instead. You say you have made mistakes, yet you have done nothing to address any of these 'mistakes.' Face it, Kinslayer, you are grasping at straws and you know it." said the Duke of Blackworth, having grown somewhat passionate about this subject. With a sigh, Henry walked off to prepare the war effort, one which would surely dominate his life for the next few years.

[DeadraSlayer 419]

Sir Gaspard laughs as he reads over the page "Grasping at sticks will not save you, thine end is marching to your front door. Your trickery ends now. . .history will prove us just. FIGHT OR BE FORGOT! AVE RAVENMIRE!"

[_pr0fit 3084]

To start a war then cry foul is the most desperate and cowardly of acts, like a schoolyard bully who cries to teacher when his victim punches back." Vykk shakes his head "And not to add salt on a wounded animal, but they use the same old act of 'the pagans are coming for you next, they want to kill our god!' well, I suppose when one has nothing smart to say, return to the classics, no matter how tired and see-through they are."

Baldrick tries and fails to read the extreme cursive which was clearly too intelligent for it to be legible.

[sergisala 3451]

"THE PERTINAXI REIGN OF TERROR ENDS TODAY!" proclaimed the Nauzican Brigadier Alexander Darkwood "Adelburg remembers!" he added, in a reference to the brutal Coup of Adelburg perpetrated once upon a time by the Pertinaxi, before signing the Cross of Lorraine.

[PCSwift 1422]

Maethor Sythaerin prepares again to leave behind Haelun'or, involving himself in another human war.  "Conflict will never cease in the realms of Valah-and money will never cease to flow into my pockets." 

[Liam5232 450]

Knox is confused "Norland is Veletz? Heartlands? I need a new map"

[ErikAzog 3575]

From the Isle of Salia, the Count Achillius prayed to the cross before him, "We must persevere. Humanity is besieged."

[ChaoticRoller 635]

The Armored Ravenmirian Guard slowly clapped after the read of this missive. He did not see this as at all legitimate in his own beliefs and research. However he turned on his heels and began to man his post for the many visitors that arrive.

[Sebbysc 744]

John Valentinus of Enswerp found himself once more at the precipice of Enswerp that overlooked the flowing waters beneath St. Daniel’s Crossing. It was here that the Archtraitors marched across, taking the life of Paul Alexander. It was here that the forces of Stassion & Veletz crossed to claim the lives of Edmund II and his fellow martyrs. Now the enemies of a prosperous Canondom march towards this same crossing without fear of the consequences. The Prince-Count found it odd that GOD chose that Enswerp would be the center of history once more, but he would not waste the opportunity that was divinely given to the House of Alstion.

"The only reason evil prevails is due to the absence of good men. May GOD bless us on our righteous cause."
