Marking The Kingdom's Borders

[troopermatthew 66]

*Turning to Dreek and addressing him*

 

"All I ever 'ear ov late is t'e name ov Kal'Halla. Is it or is it not t'e main bloody reason we be 'avin' issues wiv Oren as ov recent? I say we deliver a stern and clear message to 'em before we do anyt'ing else! Tell em dat dey join us 'un live in wun ov our 'olds or dey are cut off by us and we aint gunna acknowledge dem as a part of t'e Kingdom either as an ally or a vassal. Too long 'av we negotiated un 'elped a city none ov us even want t'e exist!

 

*Leaning back in frustration he awaits a reply*

Thoak folds his arms nodding toward Telchar in agreement

"T'ese 'olds, ur Kal''Alla oot least 'ave been causing nae anythin' but trooble. Vaer'aven was 'ome to tae rebels, an' hoo knoos wot Kastoria, ur Brom'kah coold be keepin' 'idden. An' I 'ave nae 'eard t'ese Jarls speak once in t'ese 'alls. I suggest collaspin' some 'o t'ese pointless 'olds as t'ey just waste space in ur lands, an' abandon 'olds t'at ur disconnected tae us, an' per'aps citizens 'o t'ose 'olds 'ill live in t'ese barren 'olds such as Kastoria, an' Brom'kah.. ur our barren 'alls oot t'at."

[Nefarious Aus Shitpost 891]

"Ah fer wun ahgree wit' Thoak." Bael adds. "Sum uv them 'olds be nuthin' but trouble, especialleh dat Kal''alla place. Alsuh, ah believe ef yer guh tu Kastoria's front gate yeh will be seein' evidence uv law breakin'."

[Gorum© 623]

*Sighs leaning forward from his throne*

Yer all feckin' arguin' about a race dat aint even livin' in its own city anymore! T'e carpets 'ave scattered un now fight amoungst demselves. Keep an eye on 'em sure enough but I still stand my me views dat we should be keepin' a watch on our northern borders dan our eastern ones!

Gorum turns to Telchar.

 

" Nobody be disagreein' wit' dat, I dunnae 'ave Tu state th' obvious. But aye, regarding Oren ah'll tell ya this. Don't wait until they've claimed th' lands dat lead up tu our borders tu fight. Attack now, fer th' neutrality ov th' wilds was breached. Gain land closer tu their borders, set up blockades on th' water. Dunnae plea fer Dem not tu attack Kal'Halla, warn dem dat if dey breach th' neutrality ov th' wilderness or kharajyr that ye will declare war. Yer better off fighting now den ye are fighting later.

 

Unless ye wish tu realize what ye can actually du. If th' Orcs are nay longer in their citeh, simply attack them. If dey are broken up, now be th' time fer ye tu strike. Yer eastern borders are jus' as important as yer north, I am sure dat Horen willnae launch any direct attacks on th' Dwarves, but ah'm sure that th' Orcs will if dey get back tu ah position they used ter be in. This sudden trust fer Orcs that Dwarves be showin is feckin' sickenin'."

[Corndoggeh 9]

*Barias Cladheart sits on the stone seat as he stays silent, his hands gripping the edge of the armrests as he listens to the two dwarves argue back and forth about demolishing holds; although, feels a sense of reluctancy that his hold wasn't called by name. Barias then takes an elongated breath throught his nose and lifts a leather gloved hand as he begins to stroke at his beard steadily, his expression disgruntled yet waiting for a clear chance to speak*

((I'm on my phone so I can't really do too much until the 20th of may when 5/6 of my finals are completed. The closest hold to the orcs is my hold, Barbek. Barbek is also located literally half a stone throw away; however, I started my hold out with wood walls as a beginning settlement and now that there is a large amount of stone and cobble I can begin to start bigger changes. Fyi: Barbek produces more than farm goodsbut that needs to be found out icly

Gorum turns to Telchar.

 

"This sudden trust fer Orcs that Dwarves be showin is feckin' sickenin'."

 

"Aye, 'et most certainleh be daft an' makes meh ancestorehs turns in dere graves. Teh orcs be at dere weakest roight now, ah suggest yeh use dis moment tu finish dem uff."

 

[Josh3738 3137]

*Zahrer listens to the back and forth about dismantling holds and orc threats. He stays silent waiting for the subject to come up but as of yet it has not. He scratches his beard thoughtfully as he addresses the collected officials.

"Ye speak 'bout whut does nae yet matteh. Th' 'olds produce food an' give troops. Th' uruks are nae longeh a serious threat. They will bickeh an' foight amongst themselves loike woild animals, which they are."

*He pauses and looks around as he prepares to continue

"The real threat beh Oren! Long 'ave weh been allies wit' them. Then th' new emporeh declares war on th' elfes an' th' kha. Lenfarthin, Malinor, an' almos' th' 'old o' Kal'alla. This new greed rivals our own curse! 'E will nae stop 'til e' conquers th' whole o' Anthos an' then some! Whut beh next? Krakatua, th' uruks, an soon enough they will musteh th' force t' take oveh our lands an slaughteh our people if weh dunnae du somethin.

Oren beh a strong nation an' maneh frien's beh among 'em. But this new emporeh will bring war t' this lan' tha' weh cannae allow. New threats are more prominant than 'im these boar men in th' north, th' dragons, an' even Iblees 'imself 'as come 'bout us. Weh mus' reason wit' this new emporeh. Nae simpleh stand by an' tell 'im whut beh ours 'til 'e comes an' tells us it beh 'is."

*Zahrer finishes his speech and sits back down waiting for a reaction

[troopermatthew 66]

*Telchar looks across at Zahrer as he finishes his speech*

 

[bignsxxy 128]

*Commander of Kal'Halla/Ironsail Island Rona stands up.((Assuming all high ranking members of holds have a say))

 

"I be a' fur de evacuation of Ka'Halla, but we want definite promise to lands of de Kingdom. Respect we liv'aye live like ye', but do nae blame us for ye' allies misinformed information".

 

*sits down motions to her golden-iron decorated sword. muttering

 

"Nae, piggeh Horen touch meh Kal'Halla".

[Serf 647]

Thoak turns his head toward the Jarl of Kal'Halla and speaks

"Why de ye worry 'boot tae pig-face 'umans? T'ey ur allies until tae blood 'o ur kin is spilled, an' tae more ye speak ill 'o 'em tae more likely t'ey ur t'ey pillage ye 'precious' 'old. Ye gits worry 'boot somethin' t'at is nae a t'reat to us noo. If ye fear goin' tae war wit' 'em, t'en.."

Thoak turns his head toward the acting king Dreek

"T'en ye, an' ye so called 'cooncil' can make ur alliance stronger, an' send an' ambassador 'o sorts to Oren tae speak to tis new pig-face Emporer, an' tae pig-faced 'umans instead 'o cooerin' like bloody gits, an' worryin' 'boot a bloody fight."

[Josh3738 3137]

*Zahrer speaks up...

"Then weh mus' du su quickleh. Un elven month agu th' bordehs o' th' Oren empire were descent an' brought nae quarrel. In as much toime 'is land 'as doubled an' now 'is bordeh stretches far meetin our own an' cuttin Anthos in 'alf."

[Serf 647]

Thoak raises from his seat staring blindly foward and adjusting his circlet

"An' hoo' let tae pig-faced 'umans de t'is? Tae Legion, an' all 'o tae T'orin's cooncil turned a blind eye on ur allies, an' wot 'as been 'appenin' in on Ant'os. We were also allies wit' tae Dagger-Ears, an' we allooed Oren tae take 'em ova', an' expand t'ey borders. We did nae attempt tae send an' ambassador 'o sorts to Oren tae deal wit' tis, instead we ignored oot, an' noo Oren is oot ur borders an' all 'o ye fear 'o war wit' 'em, an' tae be 'onest, we dunnae 'ave enoogh military strength to fight tae numbers 'o 'em. Tae Legion seems tae be a bloody mess, an' wot ot'er military de we 'ave instead 'o bloody militia men from tae 'olds? We woold be taken by Oren in an' Elven Week if t'ey ur to attempt to take ur lands!"

[Josh3738 3137]

*Zahrer stands angrily...

"The Legion?! By th' toime weh could 'ave them mobiloized fer battle it was tu late! Ah agree wit' whut ye say t' an extent but there was naethin weh could 'ave done. But there beh still somethin weh c'n du. Gu forth an' meet 'em! Tell th' Kha t' stand an' foight an' when th' emporeh comes t' take th' land our forces appear upon th' walls. Whut a statement weh would make lads! If 'e wants th' kha 'e c'n gu through us! An' when they realoize their fate our steamehs c'n escort 'im back t' 'is 'ole wit' 'is tail between 'is legs! Weh will nae foight 'em. Nae. But weh cannae let anotheh nation fall t' th' pig-foiced man.

[Dreek 1633]

Thoak raises from his seat staring blindly foward and adjusting his circlet

"An' hoo' let tae pig-faced 'umans de t'is? Tae Legion, an' all 'o tae T'orin's cooncil turned a blind eye on ur allies, an' wot 'as been 'appenin' in on Ant'os.

We woold be taken by Oren in an' Elven Week if t'ey ur to attempt to take ur lands!"

*looks at him, and shakes his head slowly, before growling a bit as he talks*

"Dunae tulk aboot ma legiun ef ye dunae nooh enyfin aboot et, Ye beh completleh wrung, ef orun attucked us, weh wuud eider wen, er wen boi stretchin der resurces an exuastin dem.
