--== Leaflets are scattered throughout the land, detailing a recent activities of the Orcs in Norland ==-- The howling winds carried the scent of the ongoing war as Orcs approached the Norland gates under a tattered white flag stained with the blood of their slain kin. The lead Orc with a twisted, iron-clad visage, stepped forward with a sneer that revealed his sharp tusks. The eyes of his warband burned with a fierce, predatory intensity. "Norland! We come under a flag of peace for diplomacy!" He bellowed, his voice a thunderous growl that echoed through the city. Behind him, half a dozen armored Orcs, ready more to kidnap a Keeper than speak to one. The only two Norlandic defenders on duty, exchanged glances as the Orcs' intentions became increasingly unclear. High-Keeper Ellenore gave no word of a meeting, nor did rumors circulate of such leading to an almost laughable confusion, expressed only by a brief, muffled chuckle. "Send a letter to the Keeper, so we may discuss terms like civilized beings," The taller of the two suggested, his tone soft but firm, almost as if guiding a child in a puzzle. “Until then, there will be no meeting unless it is of your bald head and a pike” The Orc's response was a contemptuous laugh, the sound of which would have sent shivers down the spines of some of the most battle-hardened warriors. "Letters? We have no time for your feeble bureaucracy! You will open these gates now, or we will tear them down with the wrath of a thousand storms!" The orc warband, fueled by aggression and a thirst for conquest, began to threaten, shout and beat their chests in a menacing display. Their pleas were not born out of desperation but rather a twisted sense of entitlement - as if Norland owed them something by virtue of their proclaimed might. "Enough with your words, Norlander! We demand entry, and we demand it now." They roared. For several long moments, the air stood still before the Orcs realized their barbaric displays left the two unfazed. The silence was broken as the second guard, known for her years of gate duty, cleared her throat - skin showing the burns and scars of a thousand lifetimes. “Cope and Seethe” She announced, a thick accent blanketing the order. This sends the Orcs into a mad rage! Shouting and demanding to be seen by a keeper. This continued on for a time before they marched their way out of Norland, bringing their tantrums back to Krugmar.
