Breaking the Ice

Conquest Warclaim

Conquest is the act of military subjugation of an enemy by force of arms. In other words it is the de jure incorporation of some territory into another geo-political entity (either adjacent or non-contiguous). Usually, it is implied that the territory and population being annexed is the smaller, more peripheral, and weaker of the two merging entities, barring physical size.

Tolta, 10th of Snows Maiden, Year 54

It had been over a month now, attempting to have the armour reforged and it would take even longer before Morgrim and his Dwarven kin would finally have the chance to utilise it in battle. He glances down at the armour his uncle had crafted as it begins to cool, the steel still glowing red from the heat of the forge. It had been done, the first redesigned set of Teutonic Armour had been completed. A lighter, single plated steel, with more mobility than the original, it possessed the same technology found in the Teuton armour that allowed the Sariants safe passage through the poisonous clouds. It would be the only means for the Dwarves to seek their vengeance and battle the Teutonic Order, the spawn of true and pure evil in the eyes of Dwarven kind. Those who labeled them mutants, unoworthy of stepping foot upon the lands of Asulon, the Dwarves despised every word uttered by this new Teutonic Order and their fanatical leader, Hochmeister Mirtok.

((The full lore and RP for the armour can be found

here.))

The Black Company, former Sariants of the old Teutonic Order, had long been assisting the Dwarves, whether for the coin they were paid or out of revenge for Mirtok's betrayal to the Holy Oren Empire. Information had become vital in the quest for the armour and not only had the Black Company done much to secure the armour into the hands of the Dwarves but also, had they requested one final thing. The chance to sink their blades into those who dishonoured the name of the Black Cross, those who betrayed the old Gods of Hanseti and everything their Order once stood for. If vengeance is truly what the Black Company sought, vengeance they would get. Skath and the finest Dwarven smiths of the Empire had crafted a number of special sets of the armour, heightened and with less bulk so as to fit the size of a human. It was with these that they would find that vengeance.

Ahad, 13th of The Amber Cold, Year 55

The three Dwarven Lords, Bazian Grandaxe, Hiebe Irongut and Gulroid Goldhand lean over a map, peering over at the ship's route. It would take almost three weeks to reach the shores of Hanseti, an arduous task for Dwarves who had barely spent a day of their lives out at sea. Bazian nods to the other Lords, each of them having experienced the same during the sail to Asulon. "Aye, our lads may nut beh used tae t'e seas but weh can do t'is, weh 'ave done it before n' weh can do it again!." Bazian crashes his plated gauntlet down upon the table as he speaks, splintering the wood slightly. The Dwarven fleet was ready for war, fitted with the finest of technological advancements in the empire. The cannons, built by the most skilled engineers of Kal'Alras and ice breakers forged in the fires of Kal'Anart. On the star-board and port-sides of the ship, rested the oars, included to make the voyage to Hanseti a shorter journey. They would take the Teutons by surprise, first capturing Fickloch and using it as a point in which to launch a full invasion of Hanseti. Only time would tell if their efforts of planning would pay off.

Hiebe takes a look outside the Captain's cabin, looking over the bay and the long lines of Dwarves, covered entirely in the newly forged armour, marching aboard the ships. In his many years fighting alongside the Dwarves in battle and ruling over them back home, he had never before seen anything like it. With little hesitation he steps outside and makes his way up the staircase onto the quarterdeck. He peers over at he crowd beneath him, calling out for silence, his gruff voice, recognised by all Dwarves, immediately reminding them who their elder was.

"Dwarves, t'is is t'e story ye sons n' daughters will remember fer 'undreds uv year tae come! T'ey call us mutants, 'eritics, blasphemous bein's in t'e eyes uv t'eir God! Weh will show t'ese bastasrds wut Dwarves are made uv! T'e fires n' steel uv Urguan will rain down upon 'em n' t'en t'ey will see t'at t'at nay Dwarf will ever bow tae an 'uman God! It wus nut but a few years ago t'at t'e 'ochmeister came tae t'e gates uv Anart, sayin' 'e would 'ave us all enslaved! Well now 'e cowars in 'is mountains, be'ind 'is fog t'inkin' not'in' can get tae 'im. Little does 'e know 'ow wrong 'e is. W'en 'anseti falls, Mirtok's 'ead will rest on a pike n' t'en weh will show t'e world t'at nut un bein' on Urguan's blessin' 'olds aneh divoine roight over Dwarves!"

A loud cheer eruprs across the crowd of Dwarves, many raising their weapons into the air, others shouting at the top of their lungs "Down wit' t'e Teutons, glory upon t'e sons uv Urguan!" A heavy wind is felt from the East as the ships prepare to set sail, bound for the southern shores of Hanseti.

((Only a number of Dwarven Nobles and the Black Company know this attack is taking place so please do not meta any of this information. The Teutonic Order will have time to sight the ships coming before the attack so that they can RPly send whoever is in Hanseti to Fickloch.))

I wonder how you managed to reverse engineer magic. This is my claim (for now) and I want to know how you managed to reforge magic sets of armor, which there are only ten copies of.

I asked Mirtok once about getting sets for certain individuals and he told me he had to get mages to make them, and he could only have 10 sets, all of which are accounted for

((Read the lore thread for the armour, the runes were supposedly to deal with the weight of the armour. However, the armour we have is not an exact replication, it's merely fitted with the breathing system that the Teuton armour contains. Zortjr will be giving details as to how the armour was forged, as soon as he's online but we've already posted up a lot of information about this on the other thread.))

This is pending. I would like to see the rest before I say yes for sure.

((so wait, you are telling me that you created your own armor that is replicated from the Teutons armor with the example of a torn and blooded set from a soldier twice Thr size of dwarves? You completely destroyed the time these people took for these in so little time. I am sorry but I find this extremely lame. The armor itself took months in RL and years IC to create and you make sets for the entire army of the dwarves in 2 days. The armor also needs orbs to work that can only be found in Hanseti. I am frown upon this horrible RP.

And Skippy. .

Please stop with the damn posts, "ohhh, we're going to win," or "we beat you losers". I see this on every damn war claim your in..

I am ashamed Zezimus. You didn't count the Bahr clan in? Tsk tsk tsk. []

((I also don't see how large boats can fit through that icy river. Longboats would break by the ice.

Longboats we're designed to cut and maneuver past ice. The hulls were reinforced and meant for coast sailing, or short term sailing. Plus it's not hard to attach an a icebreaker to the hull of the ship ()

((Could you please read the thread, explaining the lore of the armour before commenting on the RP of this please?

If any of you have questions as to how this armour has been made, you are free to question that. If you'd have read the lore, you'd know that the armour is not an exact replica so I'd appreciate it if the hostility was toned down a little. Thank you.))
