TO THE FEDERATION OF BELETH

[Werew0lf 24179]

Issued and averred by the office of the

IMPERIAL CROWN

 

 

✠ TO THE BELETHIAN FEDERATION;

 

The words of your surrender have spurned deep into the chambers of my imperial courtiers, it has spread akin to crashing waves – when I received the letter, it seemed almost foolish. I did not think that Peter would offer his surrender; I have decided to waste my time in returning a response. It lies below. 

 

As the master of Man, I must acknowledge that all men should rise and fall within the confines of the Empire, including yourselves. Although you have lowered yourself to the same prospects of the urukim, I still offer you this simple term. If you shall agree, respond swiftly, or no further option will be left outside of an eternal hunt for each house and name listed within your charter. You should know that I have already compiled said list of houses within your renege institution, so do not take this threat as a falsity. Comply to the following:

 

☩ The Belethian Federation will be dissolved and will never rise again. A publication will state their full surrender to the Empire of Man and acknowledge their crimes against humanity. This publication must be written by the backstabber known formally as Peter Rovare. This publication must be made for all to see.

 

☩ All houses of the Belethian Federation will submit a public apology to humanity for their crimes. They must acknowledge the dissolution of any title or nobility and return to the Empire as common-men. Any houses attempting to defect to the High Kingdom of Idunia to escape consequence, after warning caution to them, will be executed. The Patriarch or Matriarch of said houses must submit this apology. 

 

☩ Peter ‘the Backstabber’ Rovare will submit himself to the Imperial Crownlands for execution. He is not to be killed until apprehended and publicly made an example of by the Imperial Order of the Red Dragon. Any who attempt to safeguard Peter Rovare will be executed alongside him. 

 

☩ You will be provided no land, so do not barter this. You will be provided no title, so do not barter this either. I will not make any promises on the old lands you held. You will simply submit. Your safety is not ensured. If any of the Belethians decide to use any titles after this accord, their whole family will be executed. 

 

All above conditions must be adhered to before. If this is not complete, the above terms of ‘manhunt’ will apply until the end of this continent and the next. If the conditions above are met, you will not be hunted down and will be granted the right to live and breathe the air in this continent.

 

You have six months to submit to this publication – as agreed upon with my heir, there will be no ‘waiting it out’. Respond swiftly, or face the inevitable. 

 

The cycle repeats; you were offered kindness and strength by my father, Peter, and you abused this. You grew the strength of your vassal and fled immediately to the orcs. When you realised that you could not face us, and that the Horde would inevitably lose, you decided to betray them also. Your life is not worth living. However, should you decide to end your own life, I will make your tribe suffer the consequences that you could not be courageous enough to face. 

 

After the execution of Peter 'the Backstabber' Rovare, I will consider allowing the rest of you to live. You either gain a higher chance of survival, or you simply do nothing, and I return to slaughtering your people as intended.

 

AVE IMPERIUM!

“One would be a fool to deny His Imperial Majesty- He is the Uniter of Men, save for the fools of Beleth. May GOD guide them towards redemption.” Did a one-armed woman comment from within her quarters, smiling peacefully for the first time in months. 

[Navigator 4260]

Within his chambers, in the keep of Cascanova, a hardworking Basrid boy was told the news by his tutor. Dumbfounded, the boy cackled, and ran to the room of his best friend and the girl he'd soon be the sworn protector of, Anastasia Basileus, to share the news!

"Why did my brother release this?" The Imperial princess was ankle-deep in a lagar, harvested grapes crushed beneath her soles.  "It's waste of good ink for the dogs of the Horde. Why would I want them to be my neighbour? Don't piss me off with showing this, Owyn." 

[Frank_Dog 808]

Annika Konstanze Baruch couldn't help but smirk at the missive. "If only my mother could see this, she would be glad to see the fall of the Peter the Backstabber." She told her nephew Peter von Leopold rightful heir to Huntshill. 

[Cheese 8880]

A once-Princess, now Baroness, swept her hand over the parchment brought to her by her Basrid companion. Justice at last for the coup of her family, for the trauma she and her siblings had faced. Still, she could not bring herself to smile or truly rejoice.

 

Lotharia had not returned, nor would it.  But for now, Anastasia let the dull ache in her chest suffice. Beleth had fallen, but the House Basileus did not.

Seeing Beleth's surrender, a sickly woman cheered to the point of laughter. Where did they think a coup would get them? None of those families were ever worth a title. Mostly her old family. She hoped to herself that the Jazlowieckis would be taken down a peg or be no more. Even better if the others who dared to cast out her real family suffered deeply.

[Wonderland_Boy 1081]

Within the teahouse of Yorumachi, a won-in would begin to laugh non-stop, showing the missive to his grandkid "Took him long enough to get killed"

[Kardika 1057]

Shamizir the Sanguine read the news, however he was not entirely surprised. The Salvian knew well of Peter the backstabber's misdeeds and false pledges, for the traitor was once a man of Old Salvo back on Aevos.

"truly pathetic"

those were the only words he would offer to this forsworn coward before drawing up his own order of execution, to be swiftly carried out by the Rangers of the Republic.

Maddock Tam read this and something finally snapped in him.

 

"No more being led."

 

It was time to lead. By example. 

 

He picked up his pen.

Ultio, a former friend and 'backstab-ee' of 'The Backstabber', smiles the sun's smile from his desk upon hearing this news

 

"Heh, betraying his own people as his final act, how fittin' for someone as cowardly as ol' Petey."

[Frisket 4537]

“I’m going to hunt him first beforehand. My kill…”

 

Elis D’Amaury spoke as she rode off to the front lines to help prepare for the war

[Vertigo_Round 328]

Admiral Salem let out a hiss like cackle, calling to the sea "And just like that, the fool is gone". She then continued to tear a ghoul arm to pieces to make a knife

[Zqppy 918]

Earoslav ponders the missive and remarks "Peter the Backstabber? I thought we were calling him the Arch Traitor."
