  2. Well Tom I've got this blood claim to the blackwald (not to mention revenge for the assassinations and massacre) and I'm looking to use it to cause a bit of a ruckus, you know, burn down a handful of buildings and generally make life difficult for anyone trying to build the empire back up on the bones of old savoy
  3. I didn't realize harry was still the god of the war team. What was it he was dethroned for, anyway?
  4. Can @Teegah or one of the other techs confirm that we were not allowed to conduct any warclaims for the 15th? From what I can tell your peace was signed toward the end of sunday, April 16. Its not as if I could simply post this on Monday the 17th, no, that wouldn't give you your full 5 days after all.
  5. -teegah, on the week of april 11 And the 2x warclaims last week meant that this one could not be posted. A siege delayed two weeks due to 1.8 updates and the server's technical inability to handle more than 1-2 wc's a week isn't enough to scheduled a re-skirm, I would argue. As for the dead man and his request, you know what they say: find something you love doing and you'll never work a day in your life.
  6. I went in with more than 1 CB in the first place. Besides that a contract is a contract is a contract, even after death Also I'm not familiar with 'initiative' in the case of lotc, are you sure you haven't been playing too much dnd? as an aside: @joey calabreeni has full permission to post here as the leader of the rat pack. Please don't gun down his input
  7. I mean you can repeat that all you want it won't make it true. The only way I could've lost CB is if I was a vassal under one of the factions that peaced out. (un)Fortunately chaos is a separate faction entirely, whoose terms for peace have not yet been fulfilled. Thus the show must go on
  8. Just like last time. And just b/c lorraine is not actively participating in the fun does not mean they are cutting off my supplies from elsewhere.
  9. Are you for real arguing supply lines right now? When did jonaj become marshal of oren
  10. lorraine can kick dirt, khorne protects
  11. Certain allies peaced out, yeah. But a few factions pulling out certainly doesn't result in white peace.
  12. THE SACK OF DARKWOOD The war camp had grown more and more quiet as of late. Where as before the skirmish a legion of men had gathered to champion the cause of justice, now there were left only a handful of stoic regiments. Over the flapping of tents and the whistle of the wind, a single priest could be heard, preaching fire and brimstone. “Yea, for there yet be faithful, and they are named soldiers. And the village giveth way to the citadel and men are ungoverned...” Guildenstern sat in his tent, brooding over rumors and reports. His allies all seemed to be signing themselves out of his war, one by one, having named their prices and received lump sum from the enemy. All that, and yet he saw all the kings allied with him sign treaties and then die shortly thereafter. So then, Guild concluded that this meant he must wage war in order to live.

  15. Location: An anonymous tavern along the coast of war-torn Banard At an indecent hour on an indecent day for drinking, a dire-eyed young man (who’d look a dead ringer for his father, if he had one) slinks into the smoky old watering hole, home sweet home. As the mercenary walked very deliberately around the bar, his hands out and away from his pockets, a dusty tavernkeep polished an even dustier glass whilst nonchalantly peeking under the bar for his dagger, his old wounds acting up something fierce. The barkeep warily eyed Guildenstern all the way past the bar, until the man slipped through the kitchen doorway and out of sight. A cadre of men surrounded the butcher’s table in the kitchen, brooding over a couple of letters and other documents stained with pig’s blood. They turned toward the newcomer one by one, and the tension in the room was palpable. Some of the younger men peered up in excitement. Others, the older and wiser only looked on in weariness and bewilderment. Baurus even drew his knife. Guildenstern produced a rolled up map from his sleeve and raised his hands to his ears as he approached the table. Although he greeted his knife-clad mate with a brotherly smile, Guildenstern’s cat eyes gave away nothing. He brushed past the gathering to the table and hastily swept away the previous documents, instead laying down his map. “Gentlemun, wae’ve a job.” The man sounded more like he was fighting with his accent then speaking with it. “And wot happens when all goes south, on dis job o’ yers, Guild?” Spoke up Tullian, one of a few navigators truly worth his salt. Guildenstern dared not turn his eyes up from the map as he unrolled it, neither did he grace Tully with a response. “All yew lads familiar wit de whelp who sits 'pon Ulmsbottom’s roightful swumpland on Taahn isle, aye?” Some men nodded in affirmation, while others only muttered confusion. “Well 'es got sumfin' belongs to mae, savvy?” He’d place his hand on his chest. “Dis sounds like revenge, Guild, not a job. Yew tryin’ to crown yerself a King?” Roared old Glenroy. Some of the other men joined him in mocking laughter. “Nah mate... I got nofin in common wit dad.” Guildenstern muttered grimly and frowned up at the old warrior, the look in his eye as cold and alien as ever. “All de loot wae split, eaven.” This had the intended effect, causing a murmur to ripple through the stuffy kitchen. “All de gold, iron… de land.” He let that last word hang a moment. “Devils know oi’ll cot my own cos inta twenty pieces and give each man a share.” ... When Guildenstern and his merry band set sail on a boat requisitioned from Charles II’s fleet to gather allies, they flew this flag: WARCLAIM Tier Chosen: 1st Type of battle: Skirmish Date And Time: 3pm est April 1st the year of our lord, 2017 Side A: The Bastard’s Band & Friends Side B: The Free Duchy of Mardon & Allies Location and boundaries: Direct Area: https://puu.sh/uZEB3/496b23552e.png Surrounding area of battlefield for reference to location: https://puu.sh/uZEfz/f2ad520e49.png Terms of Victory Upon Victory For...

  18. The Apostolic Order of Saint Peter the Sword of the Morning “I kneel to no man.” -The words of Lucien, High Pontiff, upon the Kaedreni court’s tribute to the newly proclaimed King in the West, dated 1413. The First Crusade began in the year of our lord, 1416, commissioned by High Pontiff Lucien I. The intent of the First Crusade was to secure the relics of one ‘John de Burcard’, an ancient messiah who had perished on a mission to convert the orcish savages to the faith of the one God. He had been martyred while there, and the High Pontiff had declared the land on which he walked sanctified. This crusade was chiefed by the newly-created holy Order known as the Order of Saint Amyas, led by their Grand Master, Guy de Varodyr, a sellsword part of a distant cadet branch of the noble line of Varodyr, who travelled to the orcish lands accompanied by Goddard of Salvus. During the First Crusade, the knights of Saint Amyas enjoyed a relatively short lived success, fending off multiple Orcish raids and skirmishes with an arsenal of tactical genius, brilliant fort design and the will to serve the Creator to any lengths from its members. While taking residence in the sanctified ground that was considered the Holy Land, they built the stronghold of Fort Antrim, acclaimed as uncapturable. After two years occupying the Holy Land, Grand Master Guy created the title of the Prince of Junavos, the stronghold’s attendant lands becoming the independent crusader principality of Junavos. Eventually the knights were recalled to the Empire by Lucien I and were forced to relinquish their nascent crusader state, ending the holy war for good. Though the First Crusade was largely unsuccessful, it planted the roots of Lucienism, a system of belief that is largely condemned by the current Patriarch of House Ashford, who considers it ancestor worship. The Order of St Peter takes its name after a particularly glorious moment in human history, when Ser Peter Chivay, ‘the Sword of the Morning’ put the pagans of Malinor to the blade and torch. “O most Holy Emperor, you have called upon this humble servant of yours for his counsel, and he shall give it to you. For far too long have we remained idle in the face of the elven menace. We have done nothing except be moderate with them, destroying them on the field and making peace with them after two or three battles. I am not a military strategist, but even I may tell you that this is naught but folly - we must teach Malinor a lesson once and for all. They provoke us, harrying our borders and raiding our villages - do you forget that I have been to Malinor and seen their way of life, how they pray for their dark gods to strike us down? Your Imperial Majesty, if you will not subjugate Malinor, then I swear by God’s blood that Kaedrin and Savoy will. And when the bones of a hundred thousand elves crunch beneath our sabatons, you will sit upon your throne in Abresi in envy, for we will have conquered for ourselves a place in the sun, whereas you will have existed in naught but your father’s shadow.” -The words of Hadrien de Sarkozy, Count of Norfolk, at the court of Abresi, upon being called to give Emperor Horen V his counsel on the tribulations of Malinor, dated 1414. Shortly after the settlement of the Blackwald swamp, they Savoyards were besieged upon all sides by both natural and supernatural means. This lead the Savoyards, a people who were always of a flamenist persuasion, to be even more militaristic, this of course would bleed into their cult of God. Due to the low canonist presence in the Blackwald, the feudal overtook the clerical society, often having lay preachers in the employ of local lords. Eventually lay preaching decreased and the number of clergy in Blackwald increased, yet the duke’s influence was felt even more so. The duke would often appoint senior clergy members and had an almost Pontifical amount of influence in the church, this amount of control also shed into the choosing of the Patriarch, a self granted title of the Bishop of Savoy. These factors lead to the revival of a religious fervor not witnessed since the Schismatic Campaigns of the Order of St. Amyas in the 1490s. A depiction of a battlefield left behind after the Duke’s war Tenants and Beliefs of the Order Flamenism The Orderman will take up arms with the priests, who shave their head and face and wield blunt weapons to bring God’s justice to the world. For the only way to achieve the kingdom of God is by the sword, by exorcising the world with steel and flame akin to Exalted Owyn. Saintly Intercession The Orderman will keep a saint’s icon or statue at their home altar. Whether of the Saint Thomas, Saint Peter, Saint Lucien or Saint Amyas. The Orderman will venerate the saints so that the saints will beseech God to aid their venerator. The Sacraments The Orderman will uphold the sacrament of baptism, emulating the actions of Tesion and Horen in the grotto of gamesh. The Orderman will uphold the sacrament of ordination, when a man is ordained to the cloth living his life in service to God. The Orderman will uphold the sacrament perfection, where one, be it man or woman, fully dedicates his life to God, becoming truly good and being in a state of perfect communion with God in the eyes of the Owynists. The Orderman will uphold the sacrament of marriage, a state which has been ordained holy since the times of Horen, an unbreakable bond between a man and a woman. Salvation The Orderman will show patience with his canonist brethren, who would preach that non-humans may ascend into the seven skies, which is plainly heretical. Obedience The Orderman will relay his commands when given orders by those above him, and follow his instructions with devoted loyalty. For he need only look to the man to his left or right to hear the word of God. A young Andrew Vydra meets with the great Savoyard host to wage holy war upon Aesterwald The Rank and File of the Order All members of the Order are beholden to Senior Command and are expected to obey their authority in all matters or face the consequences. Members of Senior Command lead the Order in battle and in times of peace. In order to advance to officer, a perspective Errant must go on a Pilgrimage and return with a physical token of his newfound wisdom. Imperial knights are recognized by the order, and will have their rank affirmed accordingly. Any knighted man in the Footman Corps will be hereinafter known as a ‘Knight-Brother’. Knights residing in any of the higher corps will simply have the title prefixed before rank. For example, a Brother-Captain would become Knight-Captain, a Brother-Lieutenant to Knight-Lieutenant and so forth. As an Orderman, you are expected to familiarize yourself with your rank’s authorities and duties, and you must remember that overstepping your authority may result in disciplinary action. The rank-specific authority and duties are as follows: The Footman Corps Proselyte The Proselyte has no authority in the military. The recruit must know his place at all times, and should remember that only efficiency, devotion, and effectiveness will allow him to progress. The recruit may not command other recruits. The recruit is expected to be baptised before joining. If he is not, the Order will arrange for his baptism. Battle-Brother The Battle-Brother does not have the authority to command Proselytes below him. The Battle-Brothers may participate in scouting parties outside of the local area, so long as the mission is approved by a member of the command corps. Sword-Brother The Swordbrethren are are the elite of the Enlisted, and can command any lower ranked Enlisted freely. The Primus may take command of a larger patrol, and conduct missions such as scouting, reconnaissance, and mounted patrols of the region they are stationed in. Brother-Errant The Errant is a stern and charismatic disciplinary that is well-versed in the principles of warfare and combat, often spending time with newly-enlisted soldiers to educate them. They also are expected to organize and establish drills and exercises. The Officer Corps Brother-Sergeant The Sergeant is a member of Middle Command, and therefore can command all ranks below him. The Sergeant is required to lead patrols of the local area, ensure all outposts of the Order are manned when possible, and report to their respective Officer regularly to keep proper awareness of the Enlisted. The Ensign is expected to carry out his orders to the letter, and ensure subordination within the ranks by showing an aptitude for leadership. Brother-Captain Captains are steely men who have spent much of their lives in single service to the cause of the church with great and incomparable vigor. Born leaders and veterans of conflicts both internal and external, they are chosen from soldiers demonstrating great courage and aptitude as Errant, thereafter serving as staunch examples of the ideal soldier. From this collection of puissant and capable commanders, the Grandmaster’s Lieutenants are chosen. The Command Corps Brother-Lieutenant The Grandmaster’s lieutenants are handpicked by the Grandmaster to act as commanders. Skilled commanders and shrewd tacticians with a familiarity for combat and a warrior’s inborn skill, they are entrusted with power over specific vestiges of the Order at the Grandmaster’s discretion and work in tandem with him in counsel on matters of the banner force. August-Grandmaster The only man who may lay claim to this rather grandiose title must first make himself responsible for bringing the Kingdom of God down to the Blackwald. Besides acting as the highest ranking commander of the Order of St. Peter, he also wields an unruly amount of power over owenite faithfuls. Lucien I declares the first Crusade in Junavos Litanies and the Order Each Orderman, upon his ascension from proselyte adopts a blessed litany. It must never leave his mind, and he must consult with his chosen litany at every possible decision, in order to better embody the tenets of his faith. Instead of wasting their breath on wordless battle cries, the Order announces its presence on the field through the recitement of scripture. For example... Siege Commander: “A fortress is built with blood and toil.” Soldiers, in unison: “Only by blood and toil may it be taken!” The chanting of this phrase would signal to the rest of the battlefield the intent to siege. Below are listed a few of the Order’s more commonly recited litanies. The Litany of Intercession Crush your foes, holy Owyn, As you did when you lead your people And smote them from skull to greaves! Take pity upon me, wretched and lost as I am And rescue your faithful servant. The Litany of the Zealous Convert To the darkness I bring fire. To the ignorant I bring faith. Those who welcome these gifts may live, but I will visit naught but death and eternal damnation on those who refuse them. The Litany of Narrow Judgment We go where we wilt. We slay who we wilt. Let God judge the righteousness of our deeds. Those Faithful who would volunteer to induct themselves into the Order of St. Peter must seek out Jon of the Blackwald, (crazyguy1916) who can been found at his stronghold in Aldersport to swear the Oaths. His Holiness ADRIAN I, High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon, Metropolitan of the Crownlands, Archbishop of Philippus, Enochas, Visigia and Erochland, Prince-Bishop of St. Thomas, Johannesburg, Esheveurd, and Luciensport, Prince-Abbot of Laureh’lin, and Hariam, High Exarch of the Canon Rite, Successor of the High Priesthood of the Church, Supreme Pontiff of the Church of True Faith, Keeper of the Canon, High Servant to the Exalted's Testaments, Humble Servant of the Faithful and Vicar of God Ad Mortem | Haria Delenda Est, His Grace Jon de Savoie, Commandant of the Papal Guard A copy of the Sixth Golden Bull is pinned below

  20. The legions are making their way down from Mt Gorgon to the oricsh settlement in the desert, only to find that there is another settlement blocking their way. Generally, human armies can not walk through walls. You might not be affiliated with them, you might not even like them, but I reckon you'll rally with them all the same. If not, we'll see you in a couple weekends ok? ;)
