((I'm wondering why we pay tribute at this point. As the ACTUAL region holder (Dark is the RP owner, I hold the pillar) I DECLINE this war claim based on the above given reasons. If we are forced to accept a pillage, so be it. There is nothing but building supplies there at the moment as we are (as anyone who walks by can see) in the middle of constructing a new castle within our lands.
I also wonder why you have chosen this time when we have been at our present location for some time. Yes, there is a new Rex. However, we are not within Orcish lands. I do not see war claims going up on your other neighbors on the stone road.
So, I respectfully decline this war claim. ))
