"Nice use of alternative facts," says Nikolai, remembering how Frederick Staunton drew his sword on the assembled host and the Rutherns only drew after Adelwen shouted 'protect the Count' who, if you'll remember, was 8 years old.

Nikolai smiles the sun's smile

"Goodbye my brother."

Accepted. Report to Metterden for further instruction.

Nikolai Rykov sharpens his axe, newly christened Joren after his lost liege "I will avenge you.."

"Here see the noble Duke of Akovia, who would justify the slaughter of an innocent eight year old child for refusing to pay those 7,000 mina. We did a service to you and your Kingdom by removing a traitor lord and you repayed us with threats and ultimatums. Did the men of House Ruthern rebel then? No, because we know honor and loyalty. We gave in to your demands, regardless of how egregious and false they might be, all in the name of peace. And then you rejected it, still seeking more. We called for a meeting because you would have preferred just to kill us and be done with it. How foolish we were to assume your honor. So I ask you this, you spineless, gutless, cowardly RAT of a man--how could you EVER justify the murder of a child over the loss of 7,000 mina? Your letter is both false, degrading, and slanderous. House Roswell was never "slaughtered" in fact we had not ever killed a SINGLE Roswell. You claimed that we had murdered Edward Roswell but he is quite obviously alive and well. We had exiled him, and now he has returned. You push a lying and craven narrative by insisting that we murdered him, when this is obviously and factually false, you incompetent sack of lard. Furthermore, I find your claim that we drew weapons on you first to be vile in its craven falsehood. It was your prince, Frederick Staunton-Baden, who drew his sword after we were labelled traitors by your snake of a king. This same Frederick Staunton-Baden who murdered Count Boris when he sought peace between Haense and Courland years prior. It's almost amusing that you're so cowardly and desperate for men you have to resort to petty lies to make your cause seem remotely just. You speak of our "heinous crimes" and our lack of honor. I ask you, what heinous crimes have we committed? We found a usurper lord who betrayed his Kingdom, confronted him, and he surrendered to us. There was never a crime committed by House Ruthern, you have continued to claim that while supplying no evidence of one occurring. Another absurd slander by the Kovachev pretender. Your supposed prayers disgust me. You pray that no more blood shall be spilt in the north? You started this war, coward. How could you ever claim to want peace, an end to this conflict, when you begun it by murdering a child? You truly are a revolting and perverse man. I wonder how much you'll be able to lie and slander us when your head is on a pike?" "You're a ******* idiot"

Speaking as one of the leaders of House Ruthern, no. I don't believe that you would be allowed to wc Metterden without a skirmish but that is irrelevant since that's not the warclaim that's occuring. We are skirmishing in the Rothswood so we can move on to Vsevograd, I fail to see why it's relevant if you could or couldn't move straight to siege on metterden Secondly, we reject your suggestion that we can not bring allies. Metterden castle is built directly on the pass over the greyspine mountains, we control the pass through the mountains. The mountains don't block us off from allies as we hold the tunnel that goes trough them. Joining our cause is aa simple as walking up the road from the human cart hub until you reach metterden. Courland does not own any forts or castles there, nor do they have a way from blocking pro-Ruthern recruits from joining up.

"Curonia Delanda Est."

Athera was too small but also big maps are incrediby ******* cancer and I really don't understand how anyone can disagree at the point with vailor and axios. You don't want a map so small nations have to fight over territory or fight to get land, there needs to be enough for everyone but BIG MAPS ARE ******* CANCE Big maps like this make land MEANINGLESS. 1 continent of Axios might be a good map but what we have now is godawful. Look at the map on the wiki, the vast majority of this map is uninhabited wastelands with absolutely **** all. There's no reason to have so so much excess land, it just turns land into a useless commodity

"No," says Nikolai "This mountain range is owned by no singular man but both Metterden and Istria are territories of Courland. There are a few other castles on the Greyspine also oneed by Courland, but the Dwed do not hold the land in any way."

I remember when I, a humble man trying to rp in Courland, was halted by two guards because "you looked suspicious" (that's the actual reason that was given to me in ooc, obviously a meta attack but w/e). Seeing that a man was being threatened for literally no reason, a group of citizens decided to stop these guards from arresting me for no reason whatsoever. I thought it was looking to be a pretty interesting and fun fight between guards and citizens but unfortunately that did not happen. A GM teleported over and proclaimed that the people who were defending me from an unfair arrest (people I have no rp or ooc connection with apart from having spoken to a few of them a few times) were RAIDING and had to leave because the city was on cooldown and they were above raid limit. You heard it here first folks, if you're defending a citizen from being arrested by guards with 0 rp reasoning, you're raiding! The point I'm trying to make with this rant is that on top of these raid rules being shitty, they don't really make anu sense and are subject to gm bias (which there is a lot of rn). Shits gotta be a lot more clearly defined and less open to biased gms making absurd rulings like that

A very long ways away, deep in the jungles of the Orcs, an old, scarred Kharajyr cries out. In anger, in sorrow for his old friend. He had thought he would never return, he had sworn to leave the affairs of Kha to themselves but.. this changed everything. He gripped his heavy club, and began to walk "You will be avenged, Mukar. I will see you in the stars." ((NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nikolai Rykov sighs as he hears of the almost-peace "Such a shame. The Norland people do not ask for much, and they have made effort after countless effort to make peace, all to be ignored by the Dwed. The Halfmen have made it clear that this is not a war to settle a grudge--rather, it is the aim of the Dwarves to subjugate humanity once more, and the people of Norland are the first to fall."
