Proving Honor

[Goldrim 1422]

Proving Honor: War Claim

This war claim will be described as a campaign. Based on what locations are targeted during the battle, it will be either a siege, or a conquest. Multiple locations are being attacked over time, some being plain lands, others holding castles, thus the reason why it cannot be labeled “Conquest” or “Siege” or even “Pillage”.

Opposing Faction: The bub’hozh Uruk of dah War Uzg under Rex Gromgok’Gorkil.

Defending Faction: The nub’hozh Stowtz of Mount Ire under Paragon Kjell Ireheart.

Name of the battle(s): Proving Honor is the name of the Campaign. Each individual battle is left to the winner.

Location: “Proving Honor” is the campaign. This war claim will be defined with multiple battles and branching locations. Discussions between the Rex and his representatives and the Paragon and his representatives will proceed OOCly in order to decide and monitor this “dynamic war claim”.

We do not have any specific regions that we wish to besiege, the closest Dwarven regions located at our border will be besieged, we will progress further into their land. (If successful)

Time: (at least 5 days warning): The campaign begins on June 15th. We will discuss with the dwarves OOCly which regions the campaign will start in. Expect this post to be edited.

Terms:

This is to be a sole Dwarf v. Orc war, an RP term is to stick as so. If non-dwarves or non-orcs are found in battle, the side whom employs such are considered dishonorable and have not “proved honor”. This delves the conflict to total war.

No items upon return for any battles.

No enchantments/potions (No Power Bows)

All battles on cities or towns must be roleplayed as a siege. Siege means that siege tents and weapons must be brought before the city or town for a few days, and siege RP must commence prior to the actual “Siege” battle. This is to create fun and dynamic roleplay in the form of siege roleplay.

This will be a dynamic war claim, (Dynamic war claim -> Battles and battlefields may adapt based on the victory and losses of parties along with RP situations.). The OOC point of this war claim is not for the total annihilation of the dwarves nor the orcs, but rather to experiment with a more free war claim system in a “Campaign” over specific battles, along with providing both Orcs and Dwarves better roleplay through the preparation and action of war. It also stimulates the usage of “war plans”, to raid, pillage, conquer, and siege at the right moments to secure tactical victory, rather than one PvP battle.

RP reason.

A shady Goblin creeps out of the dark corner in the palace as his deformed feet shift over the sandstone, slowly approaching Gromgok in his ragged leather outfit, he grins wickedly as he taps him on the shoulder with his sharp nail, digging slowly into his skin as he attempts to grab Gromgok’s attention, instead Gromgok swings his arm in annoyance of the Goblin, slapping him away as a loud screech escapes the Goblin’s mouth.

“What do you want, Goblin.” Gromgoks says as his nose twitches in anger, the Goblin stutters as he hastily replies “D-Dwarf, how come they do not tremble before your might yet?”, Gromgok snarls “Do you doubt my might Goblin?!”, the Goblin quickly hangs his head low and retreats back into his corner as he whispers silently to himself. “No boss, no boss..”

Gromgok lumbers out of the palace as he spots Gorgul outside, he lays a hand on his shoulder as he speaks to him “Tell your father there is a war to be fought, tell him to assemble the Krughai.”, Gorgul replies with a stern nod and scurries off into the distance.

(more RP reasoning)

Gorgul, understanding the commands of the Rex, sallies out to meet his father. As he crosses the warm desert sands, thoughts of the dwarves and orcish war come to his mind. The dwarves had never held much honor, raiding and insulting the orcs, regarding them as carpets, mindless beasts that solely desired war, and only purpose in life was to adorn dwarven halls. He thought to himself of how an Orc could even -be- a carpet, its hide much to thick to provide solace to the toes of a weary traveler.

He thought of the brash dwarves, who neglected mutual coexistence and training one another as warriors, instead invoking wrath and constant warfare upon Orcs who reciprocated. Their negligence and abuse of their given lands by creating city upon city had angered Gorgul, wasting the bearings of the earth and going against the teachings of Krug. The war had taken its toll with both sides suffering constantly from raids, but never had the war-horns been rung, the banners held up high. Gorgul knew it was time to indulge in an Orcish campaign. The dwarves and orcs had been in war far too long, and now was the time for conquests, pillages, sieges. It was time to see which race of warriors truly had honor on the battlefield. It was time for proving honor.

Gorgul speaks words with his father, who gleefully summons his Krughai. Together, they begin to train and spar, ready to invoke an Orcish wrath upon the dwarves who have constantly brought little honor to the field of battle. War horns are sounded throughout the Uzg, and the dwarves heed the call miles away. They too prepare for war, a bitter war, which will dictate the future of the region for many, many years.

( I feel like we should have no allies. Race fight only and that will bring much more honor then having allies fight your battle for you ;P)

{ That was our initial idea, but I think the server would have more fun if they could participate in this war, thus getting alot more attention which is a good thing.

( It will be more Aegis style conflict with spontaneous and engaging skirmishes, something which I know other parts of the server wish to indulge in, rather then the atypical war claim style conflict. The main concept of the war SHOULD be orc and dwarves, having more alliances and having dozens of humans engage and be the majority would ruin the conflict but it would be a bit of a shame if we excluded the rest of the server.)

(While it makes more RP sense isn't it better if we try to include more people so they can have fun too :D?)

((I think the potential for "allies" creates RP opportunity in and of itself. I feel the other races should be trying to use RP and diplomacy to weasel their way in.))

[_pok_ 1768]

Pok meditates alone, far off on a mountain top, he holds nothing but his axe and wears nothing but his loincloth. He hears the bellowing horns of Strigzgoi in the distance and sighs as he counts the horns. One...two...three...War. Pok looks to the south, thinking for a moment and then turning his back to the south again. He refused to return.

He shut his eyes and leaned back against a boulder. Slowly he faded back into his mediative state, wondering who the War Uzg's pitiful victim is.

(Reason why I'm against is all you going to get is random fighters from random places. There will ne rp but it will be ignored if a human from holm came a fought when he isn't allied with either. Orcs and dwarves only. Thats my vote and including everyone is not what its about. I was dwarf orc war not army vs army war ;))

[i agree with Hiebe. [i know I'm gone and my opinion isn't that important anymore, but to be honest we really don't need allies and there is no reason to ask for any as long as they don't have any that would make us need them. Considering that, in my characters opinion, fighting alongside an Elf or Human in a war against the Dwarves would be a.) Embarrassing and b.) a sign of weakness. Just my opinion though.]]

(I agree with Hibie and Pok, why included people that have no risk of losing anything, and people that we know if war happens to them, they most likely would not like it)
