Grand Prince Maegor I signs the document with a proud smile on his face

A HAVERLOCK’S FLAME Louis Owyn Haverlock camping within the Mountains of Aaun The old Count of Talentine had many regrets in his mind. The chapters of his life replayed in his head many nights over and over again, demanding that Louis never live them down. It brought down Louis’ ability to effectively lead his House or be part of the Regency council, and so he sought out a way to clear his mind of the rough storms that swirled in his brain. Often the Count would set out in the later hours of the day and find a quiet place to make camp and lay his head. He would find solace in the stars and comfort in the moonlight, and at last Louis felt as if he had found his path to mental clarity. Finally, he could allow himself to enjoy the present rather than reminisce about the past. This night was no different. After briefly speaking with his old friend Heinrich, Louis gave charge of the House to his eldest son Ser Leopold and left the house with his camping items. Louis trekked for some miles before arriving at the plateau of a mountain near Whitespire, the cold Autumn air filling his lungs and granting him relief as he placed down his belongings and struck up a fire. After his usual stargazing and having a quick dinner consisting of rabbit meat, Louis set up his tent and allowed himself to lay within it. Louis allowed the fire to continue as it allowed him to keep warm in the cold Autumn nights. Louis finally let his guard drop, and the Count began to rest within his tent. Yet, it would be the allowance of the Fire to continue that would be the Count’s undoing. A small ember, no larger than an ant, fluttered its way over to Louis’ tent as it was carried by the wind. Suddenly the wool caught aflame and fire began to roar around the startled Louis. The old man, too tired and slow to escape the flame, felt the tent begin to lose its hold and collapse around him. Smoke rose from the distance, visible from Whitespire itself. The grass, bush, and even some trees caught alight and burned in the mountains near the capital. A simple mistake had been made, and it was a simple mistake that cost the Count everything. In the morning, the Whitespire city guard found a corpse burnt beyond recognition near the campfire. With no other sign of Louis anywhere, it was assumed that the Count had been unable to escape the flame and as a result had perished in the fire. The corpse would be returned to the Haverlock family thereafter, with his son and heir Ser Leopold taking up his Father’s titles. Louis Owyn Haverlock (born de Joannes) 75 S.A. - 147 S.A.

The Old ass man Dominic Kvitravn looks on in horror as his Nation loses against the Dwedmar, unable to do anything due to Skygod intervention.

Maegor I, Grand Prince of Aeltarys, makes a mental note to not allow anything Orenian in his nation. "I would rather not have Ferrymen at my door." Maegor stated as he sat within his home.

"Son of a ***** actually did it." said Maegor I, Grand Prince of Aeltarys. He made a mental note to watch this developing war with great interest.

"Is it time for a second Brothers' War?" said a certain old man as he sipped on some wine in the Aaunic countryside.

"I didn't have 'Wood Elf-High Elf' war on my bingo sheet." said a man residing within an insane asylum as he played Bingo with his fellow inmates.

Ludwig von Audrick, Ragnvald Eiriksson Ruric, Henry Bishop, Viktor Bishop, Hali Kvitravn, Dominic Kvitravn, Caesar Kvitravn, Einar Kvitravn, Javier de Pelear, Cesar de Pelear I, and Urugail Hailstorm all collectively die of a heart attack upon hearing the words "Aster Court", all having fought against Oren in some way in their lifetimes.

"Yes! These demon spawn must die immediately! KILL KILL KILL KILL!!!!" says an utterly insane man as the asylum staff attempt to wrestle him back into his padded cell.

Louis Owyn, Count of Talentine, sighs very heavily.

GET YO ASS BACK HERE LOMIEI WE NEED TO SHADOW-LEAD NORLAND AGAIN!!!!!!!!! Good to have you back bro

Louis Owyn Haverlock squints "The Nobility will not like this, I can feel it in the force air."

I'd do this

"WAR! GIVE ME WAR! **** YEAH! I WANT WAR! PLEASE GOD GIVE ME ******* WAR! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" said a blood-crazed man who had zero stake in this conflict. Meanwhile, the asylum staff desperately tried to wrestle the man back into his cell, with one of the staff members even trying to lure him in with a snack.

Javier de Pelear ponders the missive (r)

For decades, Viceroy Cesar de Pelear had dwelled in the Seven Skies. With none but his Granddaughter to keep him company for the time being, Cesar would often think back on his life with Laurelie. Was he too focused on ruling that he missed out on the important things? He had undoubtedly loved his Wife, but he feared that he had not loved her enough while he was on the mortal plain. He had so much that he had wanted to do - he wanted to have enjoyed his retirement with Laurelie, to make up for the years consumed by his reign, yet it had been cut short in the blink of an eye by the actions of his vengeful Son. "Hmh. I must have been a shit Papa to have my own Son kill me." Cesar lamented. "I only wish I could have spent a few more years with her." Then, when his wife finally reached the Seven Skies, Cesar thought he would weep. After all this time, he could finally right his wrongs. He could finally do all the things that he wanted to do in retirement with Laurelie. The best part - they had an eternity to make up for it. Cesar rushed to his newly-arrived wife and embraced her as gently as he possibly could. "Mi amor...I missed you. I am sorry."

Maegor I, Grand Prince of Aeltarys, strokes his snow-white beard as he reads the missive. He still has no idea what is going on.

Javier de Pelear makes a mental note to congratulate his Brother and to get a look at his Niece.

Well I'll be honest I don't know what to tell you. But I also think escape routes should fit some sort of standard so they're not just 1x2 block tunnels. I clearly don't have the answers for everything and I am certain the Mods can do better than me. Also I think using an excessive amount of iron doors/trapdoors should be considered build scarring. Edit: I sleep

Bomb them with TNT. (In all seriousness there are numerous tools to get Anywhere in a city. TNT damage self-repairs if I remember right, so just bomb your way through. It's a questionable strategy, but a strategy nonetheless. This is far from a perfect fix and I'll have a more coherent answer tmrw)
