((Point withdrawn. Carry forward.))

The self declared Regent of Oren Shas'O Kais Ishikawa sends a response to the King of the Dwarves

 

"I the Shas'O Kais Ishikawa temporary Regent of Oren, hereby reject these demands, they are outrageous and with the White Rose disbanded your reasoning of war is hereby null and void, you should think carefully about offering white peace Grand KIng as you are in no position to enforce these demands."

[Cirdanoth 190]

((How about a slightly more balanced offer, Sir?))

 

Lissa Ransom coughs, as she walks along the cold fields, unaware of whatever the great lords are deciding.

[Polgrath 215]

Polgrath grins upon seeing the claims. "Better a Delver under Malinor than Kaedrin."

[ImpinAintEZ 442]

((You -are- aware of the difference between ooc, and IC? Nothing at all has happened ICly yet, and you are preparing for something you have no idea will happen.))

Yes they have. THe White Rose has left, which is the larges military force in Oren.

*As Durak is sharpening his battleaxe, he hears Erik yelling, "AZOGS FUR HANZETI!"
Durak starts thinking out loud about the idea,"Hanzeti fur da Azogz? Hmm... AZOGZ FUR HANZETI!"

[WuHanXianShi14 0]

Art grins at Polgrath.

"What's a Kaedrin? Never heard of it."

[3andD 1722]

Duregar Thunderfist stands beside his fellow soldiers guarding Storm's Crossing. Looking out over the road, he realizes Oren will most likely deny the terms, and that they will attack, and many, many humans will die. The Kingdom of Urguan will soon have the upper hand in this war.

((Except the terms if you want to live. As of right now, the Kingdom of Urguan now has the upper hand in this war.))

(( How? Oren had and still has the upper-hand. Plus the white rose are gone, so the entire war is null. ))

((Except the terms if you want to live. As of right now, the Kingdom of Urguan now has the upper hand in this war.))

 ((Err, you do realize that only a handful of people actually left, right? Oren still has more manpower than Urguan.))

[Tethras 278]

(( How? Oren had and still has the upper-hand. Plus the white rose are gone, so the entire war is null. ))

((Original terms before blood was spilled. The Blood Pact is broken, the war is not void from the Dwarves perspective. You cannot decide for the Dwarves in that matter, with blood spilled in this war their cause is  actually strengthened. There are many reasons small and large for the continuation on the Dwarves side. Keep in mind this is a roleplay thread, so if you want to argue please take it to Pm's. ))

 

Farren sighs heavily, hearing news of the terms rejected. 

 

"And so more blood shall be spilled to right the wrongs of this Empire... Better get back to work then."

[Jistuma 1996]

*Rosso hears of the demands of the dwarves* "I think they exagerated, but should be a start for peace negociations. I hope Oren doesn't just say no instead of looking at the condition they now find themselves in and renegociate... I would propose a meeting in the cloud temple between every leader involve... which would be... every leader in Anthos... Well... Hanseti's leader, Adunian leader, Dwarf leader, Kha leader, Orc le- representative, Salvus leader, the new leader of Oren, Halfling leader, Malinor leader, and of course the monks to moderate. Would be quite the meeting."

((You guys aren't really all that turned into diplomacy are you... I propose a thread be made where all the leaders, but only the leaders (No wife of the someone, or the guard of him), would post and talk, because IG I don't think everyone can be online at the same time.))

*Write a letter back to the Regent of Oren*

 

My original terms were refused and my people killed, these are the new demands, to which you have denied. May Yemaker have mercy on your soul, and those who follow thee.

 

Regards, 

Grand King Thorin.

Grand King Thorin.

*Sends a new letter back to the Grand King of Urguan*

 

"King Thorin, if you offer white peace you can save many more lives, you must remember the wounded tiger is at his most dangerous, your demands are something I cannot accept and conciously remain alive with my honour intact. We have no undead blood as you have claimed. I would look to your halls and look to your children, you don't honestly want to send them to their doom. Humans are short lived but are many, if you continue this war you will lose your army and never raise another it will be your end."

 

"Regards Shas'O Kais Ishikawa"

- A Pact Broken -

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Thorin

Grandaxe, son of Chaecus and Grand King of Urguan sits silently upon

his throne, his fists clenched as a young courier dwarf stands before

him. Nowt but the hiss and crackle of a roaring fire could be heard in

the keep that night. With a wave of his hand, he orders the young dwarf

to leave the hall and so he does, undaring to turn his head back upon

the throne. Slowly, the King lifts himself to his feet and looks to his

Lords as hushed whispers begin to fill the hall.*

 

“Ah

‘ave jus’ baehn informed t’at nawt but wit’in’ t’e las’ week, ah

Dwarven Lord wus attacked wit’in’ Kingston baeh t’e Knight’s Chapter ov

Oren ‘o call ‘emselves t’e White Rose. Ah gud lad n’ un’ ‘o wud duh nuh

baehn beaten n’ ahll t’e gud t’ere ‘unce wus ihn t’is wurld drained.

Baeh wut roight dus aneh umros ‘ave taeh defy maeh?!”

 

 

*Many

Lords within the room look up at the King, eyes widening in

astonishment at his words. Yet the King continues, stepping down from

his throne and making his way towards the council table.*

 

“Maeh

grandfat’ers Thorik n’ Valen wished fer ah peace t’at wud save t’is

nation frum bludshed. Ah wud beh t’e furst tuh up’old aneh wurd of

t’eirs. Yet, t’ere wus a day w’en dwarves stud awn t’is throne ‘o

defended the weak n’ ‘elpless. Ah believe in maeh ‘eart t’at ‘is wut

ouhr Paragons wud wish fer... N’ iff nawt, suh cast maeh intaeh t’e

foires ov Khorvad’s dominion.”

 

*Thorin, raises a clenched fist and looks directly towards his council, his expression dark and yet glaringly composed.*

 

“Issue

t’e ordah fer all dwarves ov Kal’Azgoth n’ Jarls ov t’e Empoire t’e

mobiloize t’eir armehs ihn preperation ov ah siege. Send ouht

ambassadors tuh Malinor n’ each ov t’e orcish clans n’ inform ‘em t’at

broken, null n’ void. Inform t’e Grand Marshall t’at ‘e ‘is tuh assemble

*The

Lords rise, bowing their heads before they quickly depart. The King is

left standing alone in his hall, his head tilted over a map of Anthos,

various settlements and coordinates dotted over it. Besides the map,

Thorin takes a raven feathered quill, dipping it into a small pot of ink

before he begins to etch out some words upon a clean parchment.*

 

“To his esteemed Emperor Horen V,

 

Though

as one who considers you a dear friend and ally, this pains me to say, I

fear this letter is the culmination of many events that have transpired

and rather been ignored than dealt with. I therefore do not place the

blame for what I am about to say on your head but instead on those who

dared break the pact that has for many years stood between our two great

Empires.

 

In

Aegis, Oren and Urguan stood firm as allies against the orcish hordes

of Krugmar. Valiant and noble victories were achieved, issued on by

heroic acts that led us against the tyranny of what we both believed was

a savage and bloodthirsty race. In Asulon, we grew divided by cultural

change and internal struggles and yet never did our armies march upon

the other’s lands. As we were once again forced from our home, your

father and my grandfather forged a bond that we hoped would ensure

compliance and prosperity.

 

There

has long been a fear that one day these bonds would become chains and

we would be forced from acting, in the name of an ancient tradition,

known only as the blood pact. I have for some time believed this to be

the Gods’ will as it was they who brought the first blood pact into this

world. I stood and watched, trusting the agreement would never be torn

in my lifetime or yours.

 

What

I therefore ask of you is a great sacrifice and potentially a burden

upon already strenuous relations. A day ago, I was informed that a

dwarven Lord was struck with a crossbow bolt by Knights of the Chapter

of the White Rose, immediately outside the city of Kingston. Had the

same act been made against an individual of Oren’s Imperial blood, I am

quite assured that such an act would not have been left unpunished.

 

Therefore,

I will cut to the immediate details of the demands I wish to make on

behalf of the Empire of Urguan. As we are informed the White Rose are

under his watch, we demand the head of the King of Kaedrin, as well as

those of the highest commanders of the White Rose, to be delivered to

Kal’Azgoth within the next three elven days. We further demand the

immediate disbandment of the White Rose as a knightly and military

Chapter of the Holy Oren Empire.

 

Should

these demands not be met, I have issued orders to the Grand Marshall

and all Jarls of the Empire of Urguan to prepare an invasion force. I

can assure you, and mark my words clearly, any retaliatory act made

against any kin of my own will result in war. As I hope you dearly

understand, that is not what either of us wish to occur. Until our next

meet, I eagerly await whatever answer you intend to bring me in return.

 

- Thorin Grandaxe, son of Chaecus, Grand King and Emperor of Urguan.”

 

*From

across the Dwarven Empire, a steady drum beat echoes through the lands,

as the militaries of each hold and citizens of the Empire prepare for

another Great War, the second Great War of their time.*
