Polgrath

I reccomend a new name like the Orcs and Dwarves are doing, draw a clean distinction between the past and now. No clue for what to begin it with but ending in a -ien, -en,  or -el.

Gee whiz, your guides are entertaining and informative! Keep on keeping on :)

Polgrath approaches the bulletin board of Kastoria, stepping cautiously over some rubble still left over from the sacking of the former town of Ereyvor by Oren's forces. Taking a glowing blue quill from his robe he pens a bit of writing upon a piece of parchment. Nailing it slowly to the board he walks slowly off, humming a song from his long gone youth, the smell of barely settled ash in his dark elven nose.

Citizens of Kastoria and all friends of the Delvers,

Know that hencefourth the Arcane Delvers shall mantain a sizeable guild hall within your hold in addition to our Malinor locartion. Your new jarl is a just  and wise man and we hath spoken indeed. We shall provide any services needed for a fee and will lend our sorcery and steel to the defense of Kastoria should it come to that. Any and all of my Delver colleges and men shall  look upon ye in friendship from now on and shall know to seek their dwelling within these lands. Let our relationship be long and profitable for both parties involved.

In good will,

Mindlord Polgrath Klaren

A sparrow flutters in a window of a mud-hovel. A chubby pale figure in a potato sack rushes to the letter, grining ear to ear... his joy soon turns to blubbering that echos throughout his smelly hovel....

Several Days Later:

*a grey raven delivers a message to The White Roses. In the raven's talons lies a fine parchment scroll written upon in a flowing script.

"Greetings brave warriors of The White Rose, I send this letter to you seeking employment. While I am a complete failure with the blade I still seek to serve ye. I can offer skills I have squired in the art of musical performance to record songs  and tales of your brave deeds. I hath a skill in the lute and epic tale telling. All I seek in compensation for my serving humbly as mistral is a bit of bread from time to time and the opprotunity to compose ballads of epic heroism found within your ranks. As I am sure ye hath many willing to sing of your great deeds I have attached a sample of my work for you brave sirs. I look forward to a reply, my lords.

- Mathias the Minstral

Gather round ye all for I do hath a tale

Tis of a brave order, who won without fail

These men had conquered all of their fears!

They strung chains of vile dark elf ears!

For throughout the land, from sea to shore

These heros deeds have gone down in lore

I speak of course of those warriors of ivory flower

Tis the White Roses who hold near divine power!

Aye, beware be ye traitor or elf

Save ye some trouble and go hang yourself!

And these sirs are always fair and just

Protecting the land for them tis a must

Upon their birth The Creator did smile!

In full plate armor, they can run for a mile!

Fast have travelled their deeds worthy of prose,

Shot throughout the land like their mighty crossbows

Now if villans hear this tale and sit in doubt....

Beware fiends for ye the White Roses shall clout!

* a script in messy barely literate scrawl is sent by a ratty pigeon to the White Rose

Ay, Traglop seek to join the order... I waited outside yonder gate for several days... I love me country and me fellow man and want to bring glory to the one Creator... please send me burd back and I will serve ye in any way ye need! I  am good with my numbers and can keep watch better then a ol' hound looking out for a steak. The White Rose has been me idol since they showed those greenskins to mind their manners. Please allow me entreee sers

-Traglop, son of Donblat

It's okay :)

* a hastily scrawled glowing text appears upon the wall of the Delver board

Delvers and Mageshields all! Should it come to war, we side with Malinor! Oren shall not crush the Elves and Mages beneath its steely boot. The time to take a stand may be nigh!

Pardon my exclusion, the Mali'ker people as a whole shall show the invaders the true wrath of Malinor!

Now... House Klaren shall rise. But it's ascent shall be the downfall of Oren. Long live the house!

*the hawk returns, ink stained note in talon.

Come seek me out in Malinor

-Polgrath

* Polgrath pens a response to the Mageshadow

I shall guide ye to it if ye meet me in the Malinor square, bring the new recruit with ye

* Polgrath pens a response

At last... the first Mageshadow returns... Malinor is oft the location of many of our members, and we keep a small hut atop a snowy mountain chain. Come seek us out, and aid in our rise.

(( Oye add me to the list :P )

Polgrath shakes his head and grumbles to himself.

"We are not safe in our own lands... we bring not conquest to them and yet they slaughter without fear of reprisal...the time for ignoring the problem has passed..."

*walking up to the two from behind Polgrath speaks

"Ayuh the preist was interfering with my work... so I asked my one-eyed friend to get him to leave...the vile old priest resorted to violence... then when I had called off my friend to cease the fighting and was conversing with Lucion... he brandished his cudgel and smote upon me with it... indeed threatening to kill me and later attempting to and near suceeding with the help of the paladin scum. In fact if I recall it was ye wench, who assaulted the conjuration of Prince Lucion, knocking him comotose! Those who live in glass walled abodes should not throw stones...

Ye say... it is not Kalenz's descison to punish him. You are corect. It is mine!, I care not what others do towards him, I know only that he will be brought to justice for his bloodlust...for good.

Polgrath calls out, green smoke emanating from his ears

"Even upon the very steps of The High Elven city I was not safe! I was not goading them in their home kingdom! Nay, they strike within the heart of Malinor!This is not some distant problem for a few distant trouble makers... but for all Mali even in our most secure home! Enough... why must they face no repreisal for the attempted genocide?"
