A World At War

[Mirtok 2853]

*you hear a tap at the door and decide to see who is there. Upon opening your door you see an armored man with a clear black cross placing golden boarded posters on your neighbors homes. You then notice your own door bears this flier with the black cross infused in its background. Taking it off you begin to read . . .

Asulon is at war.

There are many reasons why each of the nations involved are in this war, many of which Hanseti herself shares. This was a war brought on by the people in Salvus and handed off to the leaders of this world. A summit was held to discuss Dawn's removal but it quickly became clear that simply removing a puppet would not end the evil from the nation of Salvus. This is a war to end all evil, to expose the true nature of this "beloved" queen and the people she surrounded herself with. This is a war to remind the evils of our past that uprooted our lives and to the evils of the future who threaten our way of life that good will prevail. And the only way to ensure the message is receive, the ideas understood, and the evils eliminated is to leave a permanent mark on this world. Salvus will become a shattered landscape with Solace its only remaining link to its former self. Solace will be a city of all nations and of all people.

Hanseti does not want mina nor does it want land. There is no material gain for me, your Hochmeister, there is nothing driven by greed. I assure you, people of Hanseti, my hardy and relentless people, that Hanseti is only out to ensure world prosperity. From my early life and time in the Teutonic Order, I have dedicated my being to the improvement of our race and the worlds we inhabit. The Order fought perilously against Undead and evils alike. We were at one point the problem solvers for Aegis, showing up on the tide of war bringing fearless men and strong will. War is what we are, war is what we do, and when there is war to determine the fate of our greatest enemy, you can bet that we will be there.

Dawn maybe dead, and with her the spark that started this war, but this war isn't a simple flame, it is a roaring fire that will not stop until its goal is fulfilled. Believe me my citizens, my soldiers, my friends, this war is far from over. Dawn's death has only strengthened our need to fight if that provided enough reason on its own. The people whom have taken over are far worse than any rumor you have heard about Dawn. Dawn herself never actually harmed people, it was those she hired and those she allowed to power who did. And now, those people lead Salvus, that is why we fight.

Our reason for war was for far greater issues than Dawn, she was only a small part for an inevitable destruction. Where was Salvus when OUR lives were threatened, where was Salvus when OUR homes were threatened, where was Salvus when armies marched on OUR land? Salvus was toiling with dark forces, building relationships with evils unknown to the public, harming those they swore to protect. When I approached Dawn to discuss our continue alliance that was forged under Sam's administration I knew what it meant for our people. Salvus made too many mistakes and was reaching its bony hands into our livelihood from the depths of destruction hoping to pull us into a detrimental war if not force us to drown with them. When I refused the renewal of the alliance, I was immediately met with point weapons and sharp axes baring me from returning home.

Salvus has dug its own hole to despair and now festers. It is our duty to clean this new world of all corruption. We owe it to our children and the generations of our family to ensure the complete removal a land dedicated to such.

The land taken from Salvus will not be ruled by other nations. There will be no gain from the innocent citizens that are unfortunate enough to be trapped there under the control of those people. Yes, the lands will be burned and the fields will be salted but the city of Solace will remain intact as a beacon city. In the soon to be wasteland of Salvus, Solace will be a foot hold of all the nations who aided in the eradication of this great trouble. The people whom lived and worked in Salvus will not be harmed and will not be discriminated against. Hanseti cares for their fellow Humans, Orcs, Dwarves, and Elves whom reside in this threatened land and would gladly accept them into our cold but strong arms of protection.

A world war is upon us, a force with no brakes. What has been set in motion will not stop, cannot stop, and shall not stop. This is what we do and this is who we are, people of Hanseti, this is our war.

*An artist's rendition of a Teutonic Saraint at the field of war is attached to the corner of the flier.

*after finishing you hold the flier in your hand and look up and down the street. Not only is this flier posted on doors but along the walkways and on a message board off in the distance. Noticing the cold air leeching out the warm embrace of your fire you close the door and return to your activities.

*Walks over his wardrobe takes out a suit of chain and Teutonic Order Tabard,

Slides into the chain mail and tabard.*

*Picks up his Cold Steel Greatsword and mumbles to himself,

"I will protect this nation and fight against the evil corruption of this land, I swear by the Cross."*

[Ventusyr 233]

Ventusyr reads the flier over with a frown and knitted brows, then finally walks away from the message board where he had seen it, looking around the area with interest.

"So that is why this nation fights... War seems to be ever-present throughout the land. I wonder how the other participants justify their actions in war."

As he stands there contemplating this, a man dies of natural causes four-hundred miles away at the ripe old age of ninety-three. This has no relation to Ventusyr, but the man's family will insist twelve years later that it was his fault, and he will spend a few months after that being chased around by angry descendants with torches and pitchforks.
