Long lost but home again

A response is sent. "Oren has no desire for this conflict. But the crimes of the false state of Aesterwald against our people ring fresh in our minds. The North shall NEVER again be a state that claims sovereignty as an independent nation. Oren will NEVER relinquish hold of any of our reclaimed human colonies. And I, Andrik of the House Vydra, protector of the Reformed Kingdom of Oren, will NEVER give in to peace terms as deplorable as these. There shall be no negotiations, no parlay, and no mercy until I have accomplished what I swore to do. Mark my words, Dwarf King. The North shall be under the dominion of Humanity, and until the day that Hiebenhall and Hanseti are in our hands there shall never be peace. "

In the Grand City of Petrus, capital and crown jewel of the Reformed Kingdom of Oren, reigned King Andrik Vydra. From his battlements did he watch over his city, his people, deep in thought. His cold, emotionless gaze was locked - into the distance did he stare - unflinching and stalwart as a stone wall. The sound of footsteps behind him alerted him to the presence of others, he made no move to turn and address them. “Your Grace…” came a raspy voice. Andrik rolled his shoulders, closing his eyes briefly. There was a fine, fresh scent about the air that day. He drummed his fingers against the ramparts, waiting. “The Second and First Regiments were turned back at Hiebenhall. The walls could not be breached.” Not the news he had wanted to hear. He turned then, the King, and looked directly into the eyes of the man before him. By the looks a new ensign with the Akovian Regiment. His once proud tabard of gold and red was torn and dirty, a look of shame on his face. “Casualties?” “Eleven men lost, a few more then that wounded. We were able to retreat with most of our forc-” A hand held up, demanding silence. The man fell quiet as Andrik lowered his hand. “Send the rest.” “Your Grace?” the man replied, seemingly confused. Andrik sighed, turning his back to the man. He again began to admire the splendor of the city that he ruled. “When next we meet the Dwarf kind on the field…” The steady, methodical sound of fingers drumming against surface began again. “Send everybody.” Andrik allowed the smallest of smiles. It seemed that the war would be one worth his time after all.

((Just to be clear, I knew nothing of this. It is not an official Oren warclaim))

*a bird comes* Will you birng your merry band to PEtrus on the day of my coronation and perform for the commons??

From the Orenian Capital City of Petrus, scores of birds flew - all bearing messages to individuals all across the realm. From the heavily fortified gates of the city did men on swift mounts spill forth, delivering their announcements to every civilized corner of the world. "Denizens of Athera!" they would shout, "It is my pleasure to officially invite all who hear to the coronation of His Majesty, King Andrik Vydra of Oren in a few elven days! It is the Kings wish that all in Athera, be they Dwarf or Elf, pagan or true believer, attend this coronation! All hostilities with any group shall be suspended in the Kingdom of Oren itself, for the duration of the festival and the day upon which it is held. To the Dwarven King, his Lords and people: You are all invited to come with no fear for your lives, as this is a joyous occasion that has the King seeking terms of peace and reconciliation. To those Self-Proclaimed Lords and Kings who have not yet been brought under the banner of Orenia: The King beseeches that you attend this coronation and the festivals thereafter with as many people as may want to attend to witness the splendor of Petrus. The King wishes to speak to those Lords who consider themselves independent, so that terms may be negotiated regarding incorporation and vassalization. To the High Elves of Haelun'or, the Sohear who holds it, and any High Elven Subjects: So recently our brave allies in war, the King does formally and with great pleasure invite all High Elves to the city, to not only witness the momentous occasion that will take place, but also hopefully to mend old wounds and create new friendships. To the peace loving Halflings: The King has great desire to meet any and all half-folk, to the purpose of cultivating future relationships as well as demonstrating that Oren is not a nation of war-mongers, but a prosperous Kingdom that has a similar love for peace as the Halfling people. To the Orcs of the Uzg and its new Rex: Any Orc is free to attend the festivities, so long as he deigns not to break the Kings peace and follows the instructions of the Kings peacekeepers. To all recognized nobility within the Kingdom: All Lords are expected to attend, or send a proxy in their stead should it not be possible. The First Adrian Regiment, the Order of St. Amyas, and any levy raised by any Lord are invited to attend in whatever capacity they desire, except they must attend as civilians as the Kings city may not be patrolled by any standing military other then his own Second Regiment of Akovia. It is highly encouraged that Lords come with all the small folk available to them, so as to allow them to partake in the festivities and witness the coronation of the King. To any Sovereign nation, guild, or wanderers that have not yet been addressed: All are welcome to the Kings city for his coronation, and may come with no fear for their lives regardless of current political relations or past crimes. The day of the coronation shall be one of utter neutrality, with no persecution of guests lest they commit a crime in the city itself during the festivities. So come one, come all to Petrus! Witness the glory of Humanity! Rekindle old friendships, put to the grave old rivalries for with his coronation the King plans to harken in Athera an age of peace and prosperity such that the world has never seen before! Hail Oren! Hail Vydra!" https://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/123047-the-coronation/ ((Saturday, February 28th, around 4-6pm EST ))

The Kingdom of Oren would like to hire the Performers for the Orenian Tent Fair!!

From the capital city of Petrus, the epicenter of Humanity and seat of King Andrik Vydra, birds numbering in the scores and messengers mounted on swift destriers are scattered in every direction. Letters, penned originally by his Majesty and copied by his scribes go out to every recognized Lord, Military Commander, and Mercenary that serves the King. They read as follows. “Fellow Men of Oren, It is upon this day, for the first time since my ascension to the throne of Oren, that I formally call to arms the banners and swords of the Kingdom of Oren for the First Orenian War Games. Immediately, and within the Elven Day of this missive being read; every Lord, Commander, and Captain that serves the Crown is called to the mustering grounds outside Petrus, bearing tents and with the full number of fighting men that they can muster. You will be given a space to pitch your tents, and a series of events will be held over multiple elven days to gauge our readiness in times of war as well as celebrate the reunification of Humanity. Your men will train, fight, and drink with his fellow soldiers from other regions in the first gathering of all our fighting strength since the time of Tuvya. Great harvest have been brought forth to feed the droves of Horen's Ilk, and rivers worth of ale and wine stands ready to be tapped. Be vigilant, be fierce, and be ready to display your worth to the King of Men. Any Vassals or hirelings that are not in attendance will be punished severely. By the will of His Grace, King Andrik Vydra List of Events 2/13 - War Games 2/14 - Tournaments. Includes such as melees, archery, jousting and more. Civilian festivities will also be present. 2/15 - Grand Feast! Celebrate Humanity's reunified greatness with food, wine, and jovial cheer! ((These events will be expanded upon in separate threads. We look forward to the attendance of all men of the realm, great and small.))

((You guys really need to chill with this kind of ****, unless it's a joke between you two which I assume it's not.))

No response is sent.

Being informed of the envoy sent to Duke Oliver of Savoie, King Andrik is quick to pen a letter to his Vassal, reminding him that there can no be action against any foreign power without express permission from himself.

Andrik, King of Oren, raises an eyebrow upon hearing of this series of declarations. "I did not realize we had any ties whatsoever with the High Elf."

From the Human capital city of Petrus do birds fly, headed to the mountains of Urguan bearing a message. Sealing the messages are the Royal Seal of King Andrik Vydra, monarch of the Reformed Kingdom of Oren These notices would find themselves at the desk of any prominent Dwarf, and several may even find themselves in notice boards across the land. To the Grand King, Zahrer of Urguan, and any of his Chancellors, citizens, and others that may see this notice. Two days past through simple chance, I have learnt that you have - willingly and purposefully - violated my authority as a King and as patriarch of Humanity. I speak of your vassalization of certain Nord Lords north of the Ebunad River, a clear and direct violation of my Doctrine of Northsnow. I had thought that you wished for peace between our two people, and in this I was willing in every capacity to accommodate for such. I sent word immediately that this error should be corrected, lest I publicly denounce your actions as an irresponsible, and unnecessary infringement upon the safety of my Realm. Obviously you chose to ignore this. What need has Urguan of territories to far from your home yet so close to mine? For what purpose do you blatantly ignore my edicts regarding lands that are by right colonies of Humanity? This business with the Elven intervention was to be entirely expected, for I can now only assume that you are of a violent and mischievous nature, seeking to create conflict wherever you go. Just so recently your nation was at peace, after involving yourself in a war that you had no business in. Now yet again, you do so, bullying your way into a position of dominance over all the realms of Athera. Yet this is not the purpose of this missive, the main point being that you have insulted me, Grand King, with your political maneuvering. Dwarven colonies in the North? Prominently Human towns and holds bending the knee? I cannot even fathom why such actions are necessary, lest to prompt me to war. I am different from you though, sir. I have no desire for war, and your provocations will not stir me to conflict so easily. I refuse to give you the war that you obviously so crave, for Humanity is at peace, and in peace do we prosper. Release the oaths of fealty that have been sworn to your from any North of my Kingdom, and cease your expansion into what was once Aesterwald - for I have sworn that no foreign power, new or old shall ever take hold there again. Choose to ignore my demand, and I will be most disappointed. Signed, King Andrik Vydra

I want to be the Confederate States of America pease

The King sends a reply, indicating that the man should attend official court the next elven day if he has a petition requiring the Kings attention. https://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/121905-a-new-era/
