August writes the note hastily, giving it to a nearby guard. "Have that replicated and sent to the dukes and barons participating in the attack against Salvus, especially the Silverblades" Brave Nobility of Renatus, A tough fight is ahead of us, such that even the newly formed and minor House Flay has a role to play. Fight I will, for the honor of Renatus and my greater House the Silverblades. However, I refuse to fight alongside those who have shown me only contempt in the past. I speak particularly of the Grand Marshal, Eze'Kiel Tarus. He has slandered my name many times before, even attempting to take my life and that of my men. It would be the greatest dishonor not to only go to battle with this man, but take orders from him, something I wholeheartedly refuse to do. Instead, I request that when the time of battle comes, I may be granted that I fight with my good friends and allies the orcs, brave warriors with whom I've fought many battles and shed much blood. I have no brotherhood for my fellow houses of Renatus, no sense of camaraderie in which I desire to fight and die with them, unlike my orc allies. This is my request, and should it be granted, the full fury of House Flay will be unleashed upon the enemy. Should it be denied and criticized by you nobles whom I address, I will have no choice but to take other measures to avoid the humiliation I might endure. No Mercy, Count August Flay - House Flay

Erm, what does Kingdom of Renatus pertain to? Which Houses?

*Sees him running off.* ****..erm...House Flay, vassals to House Silverblade is bound to....help...****. *shuffles awkwardly*

Prince shuffled nervously over to the large tent that indicated the current royal court of Renatus. He looked behind him to see Tom carrying the various gifts he had brought with him. Prince gritted his teeth, recent events had made standing alone near impossible, allies were needed, even if it meant subordinating himself. The guards at the tent eyed him wearily, and had their swords half drawn by the time he approached. Suddenly, there was a sword to his neck; one of the guards had recognized the blood red bandanna he was known by. "It's the bandit! Kill him!" the sentry yelled, and at this word, Tom fled, leaving Prince on his own to face the angry men. Prince braced himself for the impending attack, hoping that the monks could again save him. He shut his eyes and held his breath...but the strike never came. "Stop!" cried a booming voice. "What are we, peacekeepers? Let that man in!" it continued. Prince opened his eyes carefully, to see the men had parted to allow him entrance, behind him, Tom had returned; seeing no danger of death any longer. Recomposing himself, Prince entered the cool atmosphere of the tent, to see King Godfrey of Renatus before him, the man who he had fought on the battlefield of several occasions, but also the man who had just spared his life. "Hail te ye, great King of Renatus" Prince said halfheartedly. Godfrey nodded, he cared little for the lackluster tone of Prince or the formalities he had to say, mostly he was curious as to what a ruthless criminal was doing in his royal court. "What are you doing here, Prince?" "I have seen the error in my ways great King, and I come to repent for my sins and serve the Renatus and her people" Prince looked up briefly, to see the disapproving look that he was receiving. "Uh, I have brought gifts for you great King, in order to receive your mercy" at this, Tom lumbered over carelessly, and handed Prince a large sack of items. Carefully, Prince pulled out one of the contents, a resplendent iron block, and presented it to the King. He sighed inwardly at the smile on Godfrey's face. "This is only the beginning, great King" Prince said as he passed the bag of iron gingerly to the monarch. Three days later August Flay, Prince thought to himself, a name he had not been called for many, many years. It was strange to throw away the title Prince after such a long time, but necessary. August Flay, his birth name, would have to do. The newest Count of Renatus chuckled to himself, as he surveyed the building of Renatus' new border fortress, the Dreadfort, under the protection of the House Flay. "Oh how the tides will turn" he mumbled to himself, as the builders unfurled the house sigil over the keep.

HRMMMMMM

Prince watches with great interest, the fight being the most exciting he had seen for years. As Pok headbutted Gromgok and finished the battle, Prince stood up, clapping enthusiastically, saluting his friend and the new Rex.

I've already spoken to Mogroka and he said he can't touch it because it would make it seem like he's biased.

This warclaim is probably not going to be accepted if it's been like this for such a long period of time.))

((No, we didn't press the charter because we aren't annoying pricks. Don't apologize to me and then post this kind of slander.))

I have said very little, it is your side that constantly boasts of its forces, flaunting the names of all your allies, which I assure you, was a very big mistake.

out-equipped, outnumbered, outmaneavoured, and out of your mind for thinking you can win. Stop your chatter and prepare for battle.

((None of the Mandarins allies are the same, I didn't even know what Mandarin was until this thread came up. The RP for this attack is legitimate))

I cannot make it saturday. Since you are utterly confident in your numerical and strategic superiority, you shouldn't need the number boost you would get from it being on the weekend.

If this attack fails, I guarantee things will get much, much worse for you and your people...

Overconfidence is the worst mistake a military commander can make.

((Hush with the OOC, I'm not posting everything I have on this war claim, I don't have to tell you guys what forces I've gathered and what alliances I've made. If I have access to the tech In game and the lore fits, I'll use it.

Enough chatter. I'm not stupid enough to reveal my supporters like you idiots. I'll see you on the battlefield, and I won't be alone.

Prince laughs heartily as he reads the letter, and goes off to marshal his forces.

I can sell you a lot of the things on that list once I'm freed up. ((Coupla hours :S))
