Dùghlas Sutharlainn would slowly put away his missive and an interesting report titled 'Operation Little Matilda'. He would then, rush out from the keep and attempt to call upon his council members for a meeting regarding to this situation. He seems nervous and more confused if anything.

An Ode for Peace

Composed by Brite Louise Palelight, Neighbourhood of South Dunbar, Jarldom of Dùnrath

[!] A picture showing the Neighbourhood of South Dunbar

As conflict arose all over the continent, Brite Louise Palelight, a Rathonian elf was sitting by Loch Fiag, holding her notebook and composed this piece with brass-made instruments and drums, mourning all the dead souls created due to unwanted conflicts between individuals of different race and nationality. War is never a good solution to problems, she thinks, and sighs. As a worker herself, politics are a tool used by the people in power, and subsequently dragged their people into year long conflicts...

The People's Council,

12th The First Seed, Year 65 of the Second Age

12mh a' Chiad Sìol, Bliadhna 65 den Dàrna Linn

A certain elfess would read this missive in Providence and would nod at it lightly. Then, she would think to herself, 'Equality is crucial to a society especially like Oren, where non-nobles and people of the working class get suppressed in all forms of social interaction. They are not being respected by the people in power. The people who made everything gets nothing; the people who did not make anything get everything.' Then, she would quickly run away from Oren and head Southwest.

"Hmm..." Dùghlas Sutharlainn would read the marshal's report about the Norlandic forces and Rathonian citizens defeating the Östlaningars by South Dunbar and sighs, "When is peace going to come... But good job, my fellow nationman."

>>═══════════════════════════════════════════>>

A shadow design is upon the lattice door.
Whispering comes from the well.
That deep voice calls,  “I want your heads...”

>>═══════════════════════════════════════════>>

A quiet night, a lady holding her treasure, a pile of white crane Origami and put them back to the wild.

She was ignored, people have been having their great time flying kites.

Only a shout for help is sufficient to disturb the peaceful night of Yong Ping.

Another lady was brought out from the well, or... is she another?

Signs were only given to the warrior, but the plans of the spirits seemed to be interrupted by them...

>>═══════════════════════════════════════════>>

r

Dùghlas would quickly return to Dùnrath after the victory and announce, "We won!" Then, he would quickly rush to change to a fresh set of clothings and head to Gränsstad.

The Jarl of the Jarldom of Dùnrath, Dùghlas Sutharlainn stands in front of the Cingedoz structure by the Lochside of Loch Fiag and greets the newcomers, "Fàilte! We are very happy to have you all here, bringing your people and your unique culture to the mix of the diverse and colourful Rathonian Society!" He would hand them the local distilled whisky, and some steak pies to celebrate their arrivals.

Olibhia NicIain, an Agnethe girl would stand in the middle of the battlefield after the conflict, holding her loots from the enemies and would finally have a rest, siting on the ground full of corpses and blood. "Ùnanach gu bràth!" She shouts, and it is to be heard across the battlefield.

Dùghlas Sutharlainn, during his journey towards Yong Ping, would recieve the message from a courier about the victory. He would look at the report and mumbles to himself. "Our two hundred warriors did a great job, I have to go meet them, definitely. Rathanach agus Nortiann gu bràth."

>>═══════════════════════════════════════════>>

>>═══════════════════════════════════════════>>

In the teahouse, where two ladies are having their moments talking between the counter. Suddenly, there are Konpeito Candies dropping from the "sky" and creates its unique and unusual noise, which can be heard all across Northern Yong Ping City. All the way on the road from the Government building to the Mareno's Storefront. An abnormal "phenomenon" that is...

In the central Tianrui District, where all the Yong Ping citizens are resting after fights with monsters. A couple of unexpected guests appears on the roof of the clinic. The sky is clear and bright, with stars scattered around the sky.

Strange sound can be heard coming from Eastern Yong Ping during the third quarter of Ushi (Ushino mitsu doki, referring from 2am to 2.30am). Could it be the noises by the monsters or is it just an illusion...

>>═══════════════════════════════════════════>>

Dùghlas would recieve the message from his advisor. He would nod and smile, "Tha e glè mhath! I am glad that he is better."

Dùghlas would recieve a report from his advisors and would nod at the report lightly with a smile and say, "This victory is very much expected, I just did not expect this would be done this successfully. Cheers to our allies!"

"Why is there so many things happening in the same time, like... CHILL!" Dùghlas states in a very frustrated tone while babysitting his own kids, even though this thief thing is not something he can really control in the first place.

A picture featuring Daibhidh in Dùnrath, SA 44

“The strongest force can be created with the unity of the people.”

- Daibhidh MacFhilib Sutharlainn

A guardsman enters the room in the morning, seeing Daibhidh lies down on the table. On the table, a glass of Whisky, a Redfist branded cigar and a pile of documents can be found. He would also be found holding a quill on his hand, and blood on the table. The guardsman would attempt to call him up. However, Daibhidh will not be waking up. The guardsman would then attempt to touch Daibhidh’s hand, it is ice cold. Daibhidh is tired, he is too tired to ever wake up once again. The guardsman would move Daibhidh back to the bed and run out from the keep and shouted:

“Tha an t-uisge ann an Dùn Barr. It is raining in Dunbar today.”

A very loud voice can be heard from the roof of the Dùnrath and can be heard all over the city. From the shores to the forests. At that moment, the buzzling city suddenly froze, the wheels from the carts stopped moving, even the birds on the trees stopped their choir session. Everyone knows that there is something off today in Dùnrath as the code phrase was able to be heard from every corner of the city. This code phrase specifically signifies, the Baron of Dùnrath, the Chieftain of Clan Sutherland, the Chieftain of Clan Barr and the Clan Chief of the United Clans of Barr and Suther. The Most Honourable, Daibhidh MacFhilib MacMhartainn Sutharlainn is dead. 

Daibhidh, when he was young, he was living in Sutherland with his family and work in the distillery. He was working there as a typically and normal working class, until when he was 12, he left Sutherland and pursue his dream as a merchant, hoping that can improve the lives of his family. Unfortunately, when he was 14, the Great Northern Avalanche structed the Agnethe villages, especially Sutherland. His parents and most of the Clan Sutherland members were dead in that particular incident. Unlike his Barrach brothers and sisters, he chose to abandon his home, and rarely return. At that moment, he believed that his parents have died, which he was not wrong.

When he turned 14, he moved to Elysium, where he met the duke and gave him a chance to settle down there. In Elysium, he learnt the basics of business, and thus set up a business with his distanced sister. That is where the Sutherland Trading Company was founded. After that, he went on his adventure for his company. He has travelled to a lot of cities all around Morantìr (Nyrheim / Almaris) and set up businesses there. Talon’s Port, Norland, Elysium, Freeport, Haelun’or, Ando Alur, Haense, Sutica, Yong Ping…, his commercial empire grows and grows. He always has a saying, “What you get from the people, you must give them back.” Some of his goods were sold more expensive than other brands from other suppliers, but he ensures that his customers get the best service from him. Sutherland branded products were at one point everywhere, east from Haelun’or, West from Talon’s Port, South from Sutica, and North from Norland.

On year 42, he purchased a plot of newly claimed land from the Kingdom of Norland and attempted to build his core business venture in the new plot of land. However, he decided to form a settler colony instead, populated by mostly people out of Norland, and enjoy a easy and peaceful life in that plot of land. That place is Dùnrath, the Barony of Dùnrath, later the Jarldom of Dùnrath has had him put in almost every single coin from the Sutherland Corporation, and it is a popular immigration location of the continent ever since.

As of his romance life, it was very rough. He is a nice person, but not necessarily the type of man that most women love. He has had six tries in his romance life, and almost none of them were successful. He gave up on loving when he turned fifty and start to focus on work instead, as he has had something more important to work on Dùnrath. He had two kids for the entirety of his life, Dùghlas and Sìonag. They are his everything, especially due to the fact that both of his kids lost their mother. Furthermore, since Sutherland was gone after the Avalanche, then the Skanarris and Svarlings. both of his kids were not Sutherland born. However, they are Agnethe, no matter what. They are as proud of being Agnethe as their father. He is not essentially the best father to his children, but he tried.

Daibhidh is proud, he is proud even after his death. He thinks that he did the right thing for the people, not just the people of Dùnrath, but every single person he serves for the course of his life. He is giving, generous and proud of what he has did…

OOC - 

Daibhidh Sutharlainn would be able to hear the noises all around the northern Mount Turnip region and the southern Mount South Dunbar region. "It must be the mountain dwelling people again... I wonder if I need to issue another travel notice..." He would then sit on his table and draft a new travel notice:

Dùghlas Sutharlainn would recieve the news from the notice. He would keep silence because he wants his does not want his wife to worried about him. On the other hand, his hand would be touching a folder, with the phrase Operation Little Matilda written on the cover.

Daibhidh Sutharlainn would be happy when he brings a signed copy of the letter back in Dùnrath and reads over it many times. "Glè mhath! This is going to help bringing people in and we will continue to thrive!" He would put the letter inside a specific barrel somewhere and goes to bed for the day pleasantly.
