  1. Hali grins, adding another missive to his collection. “It’s like I’ve always said. They parade atrocities as victories because they cannot win actual battles.”
  2. Hali wonders if orcish shamans have developed some sort of ventriloquism to participate in conversations miles away. “You love to parade the slaughter of innocents as victories, when you aren’t disavowing your own troops. We’re still ahead in actual battle victories.”
  3. Hali tacks this missive above his barracks bunk as well. “Veletz will continue to mewl that we started this war, but then they must’ve believed that their bloodlust would not have consequences.”
  4. Hali shook his head. “I admire the effort but even beating Veletzers over the head with the reality of honor won’t suddenly give them the ability to comprehend.”
  5. Theroden chuckles. “And Canonists say we’re the uncivilized ones. It is no wonder that Veletz is called anathema.”
  6. Hali’s face formed a bitter half-smile. “It is nothing new for the crucible of war to separate those with true hearts from the soldiers of fair weather. I am glad that reason still has a voice. To treat with the alliance is tantamount to kneeling to the betrayer himself. I find it odd that the children of Krug believe their foes will and should surrender, when it is said that their way is either to succeed or to break. One should expect that one’s foe will match one’s own resolve.”
  7. Hali pins this note up above his space in the barracks. “More should be said about the wisdom of dwarves. Of all the reasons given for why we must halt this horde of blackguards, these are central truths. Veletzian nature has been proven before.”
  8. Hali smiles upon reading the missive in the tavern in Numendil. “Let the brigands whine about ‘honor’ all they want. Veletzers have never known the meaning of that word anyway.”

  10. Too late..... He'd been too late. Narn'amae had not intended for his wanderings to carry him so far away for so long, but they had. There were no excuses, nothing that could salve the wounds of shame. He had considered not returning at all, but that would only be another failure. He might not be able to see it now, but there would be a future for his people. They would rebuild, as they always had. There was hope in the words he now read.

  12. A certain Adunian squire nods solemnly upon reading the missive while sitting in the White City's pub. "I am glad to see others reach the same unfortunate but necessary conclusion that my comrade and I reached after dealings with Lurin."
  13. Theroden smiled sadly. "At least some have not taken leave of their senses. Sad are the times indeed when folk make excuses for slavers and brigands. The honorable will stand together, though the realm may collapse around us." Narn'amae gathered more arrows for the next bout, pondering the true meaning of "The Wilds know ne honor."
  14. Theroden shakes his head. "Of all dwarven shortcomings, their greatest flaw is that they continue to misjudge their situation. They think we will back down after such an egregious crime? The AllFather's judgement shall be ten fold."
  15. What is your name, hero-to-be? Hali Black What is your age? 59 What is your race? Adunian Where do you reside? Numenost What powers do you have to fight against this great evil? Courage and honor What is the meaning of a free-spirit, in short words? Finding purpose no matter the changes in life.
  16. Theroden nods solemnly upon hearing of the recent skirmish. "The same bloody lesson must be taught again and again, for dwarves are slow learners."
  17. Theroden set charcoal to paper and signed on once again. What was one more tour after all he'd been through? (IRP information) Name: Theroden Nria Race: Elf Experience: Long Standing Northguardsman/Ashguard. First enlisted during King Sven's reign. War of Retribution. Fought against the Skanarri and the Mori (OOC information) Username: Retired Goon Discord: CrymsonBlade#9727 Timezone: EST
  18. Theroden ensures that Evyind's name is added to his daily prayers to the AllFather.
  19. Two weary veterans, though residing in different parts of the continent and under different obligations, have similar reactions of utter disgust upon reading the missive. Haense has fallen far and become the world police that the once proud nation used to fight.
  20. Theroden set about gathering supplies for the days to come "Another strong response. Thus shall ever be the fate of brigands and warmongers."
  21. “Irehearts never learn. I do hope some dwed recall the lesson of the Krag and do not follow them to decimation though. Either way, the father’s will stands.” Theroden nods solemnly upon reading his king’s response.
  22. Artyom's spirit rests easy in the Allfather's halls, glad Odin did not truly hold ire against him for the diplomatic incident long ago. A weary veteran allows himself to shed a tear at the peacemaking king's final departure. From proud Varhelm to Solheim's shores, Norland had been home to him. It had been Odin who allowed him to return home after his mistakes, something he was not sure he truly deserved. And so Theroden raised a mug towards the sunset. "Allfather guide you, peacemaker."
  23. Theroden nodded solemnly as he finished reading the missive. "A good man and a truly great ruler. I did not always agree with his choices, allfather knows, but his heart was in the right place. I shall pray for him."
  24. A far flung cousin thinks briefly on the path he might have walked. Part of him would always belong with Norland, though he knew not if he would ever return there. Memories of meeting Styregg return to mind alongside concerns for his own brother. "Perhaps I shall see them again, one day."
