A List Of Grievances

[Cracker 4570]

- A private letter bearing the seal of the Holy Kingdom of Savoie finds its way in King Thorin’s quarters-

 

Thorin of Clan Grandaxe, Grand King of Urguan,

 

    The Holy Kingdom of Savoie comes before you to address the following lists of grievance towards King Lachlan Elendil. His reckless nature, disobedience to your peace, and thirst for power has made it evident that he is infirm and incapable to rule.

 

Lachlan’s crimes are as followed;

- Grief against the Salvan peoples; threatening them with war with no true justification

- Grief against the Savoyard people; threatening them with war with no true justification

- Declared war against Kralta under false justifications, approached Lord Siegmund Carrion threatening imminent destruction unless they rebel against His Holiness Owyn

- Spreading falsehoods, claiming the Savoyard people associate with rogue bandits

- Disunion against the Grand Kingdom; threatening to slew innocent peasantry and burn Kralta for crimes of oathless brigands half way across the Northern Kingdoms

- Poor administration of Kaedrin, along with no blood claim to former Chivay land.

- Consorting against dwarven law, by attempting to submit to Orenian vassalage to avoid righteous punishment for their crimes and attempts at fulfilling ill bred and sinful ambition.

- Consorting against Oren law, aiding treasonous oathbreakers to go against their king, William Horen, violate their non-aggression pact with Savoie

- False claims to marriage alliance with Oren, as his wedding was with one of Hightower descent, a branch too far removed from William Horen's bloodline to claim proper alliance and only assosciated out of formality after Horen V's rule.

- Orders to vassal states to assault kingdoms within your crown before war was declared under black flag operations, indicating his plans for senseless war.

[A note is attached to the letter]

 

My friends, Gallmore finds itself once again in the political struggles of the mainland.

 

King Lachlan Mor Elendil of Adunia has requested our aid in the upcoming war against the treacherous Kingdom of Savoie.

 

As Gallmore does not have a standing military to deploy to foreign conflicts, this would normally pose a problem if we wished to keep our Leige Adunia pleased.

 

 

Adunia requests naval support against Savoie, however most of our government warships

are out of commissions due to lack of crew.  Yet, while meeting with a few of my Viziers we were able to come up with a soluion that should please all of Gallmore.  That solution is Operation Black Flag

 

All resident non-government affiliated crews have been given the  go ahead to freely  sack and raid Savoie ports while harrassing their naval power. 

 

Raids are requested to start BEFORE the war is declared to soften up and disorient Savoie's defenders.  Crews are authorized to use deadly force and told to keep 100% of what they loot as payment.  During this stage all ships are required to fly under the black flag.

 

Once the war is started, all pirate crews will recieve a Letter of Marque from the Kingdom of Adunia granting legal rights to raid Savoie cities, attack ships and kidnap hostages. 

 

The kidnapping and recruitment of more crew and vessels will be rewarded by the Office of Proconsul Gestahl.

 

 

-Captains, please respond with a rough tally of ships and crew able to dedicate toward the effort.

 

 

Gestahl VonSchlichten

 

- Ambitious hunger for power which threatens his people.

- Firing siege incessantly at Kralta

- Purposely inciting conflict between innocent Kralta strelesy and his Adunian retinues to fabricate claims to war 

- Threats and crimes against the True Faith

- Failure to defend his people against aforementioned oathless bandits, choosing instead to ignore them and attack innocent Kraltans as scapegoat for his ineptiude.

- Inane, demonic ability to catch full-powered mace swings

 

These grievances should be rid to insure that balance is kept in Anthos. We ask for the removal of Lachlan Elendil from King of Adunia and the lands to go under the Holy Kingdom of Savoie

 

    The Kingdom of Savoie

[Richard / Mikhael 95]

"And he can catch maces"

[bungo 3965]

Bogdanistan quickly paces into the Throne Room in the Krelmstad, he walks before Siegmund Carrion and expresses his concerns with the List.

 

"Lord Carrion can forget not that smelly has called strelesy."

[Hanrahan 2983]

Arnorian Elendil sends a letter to the same place as well.

 

"To reprimand his grievances, I, his Exiled Uncle, would claim the proper title of Adunian Lord, and cleanse this list properly."

[ARCHITECUS 4788]

Jorji foams at the mouth and states his own grief.

 

"Adunia have send the spy past sneaking of our good checkpont!"

[3andD 1722]

The King of Savoie pouts at the other letter, "Why would we give the title to another adunian? We strictly want to expel them."

[seannie 7443]

"Lachlan is master weapon catcher, he might be able to catch our fired arrows and throw them back at us. We should just surrender, I don't want to die by the hands of Lachlan master weapon catcher."
