[PRINCE WILLIAM]

I am ready to leave, Yarom.
Before I do though I bless a pod with holy water that is needed since I won't have any other actions in this phase.

(on the Discord thing. It is for real-time communication but I am rarely connected when the most of you are, due to the time difference, that's why I am not using it)

[brainbomb]

Yulish gets on a horse and rides.

51/100
No Encounters on part 1/2 to Wortuine.

You establish camp halfway between the two locations.

It is quiet and lonely here.
You hear sounds of owls and coyotes.
Rustling in the grass every now and again.
Your sleep is unsettled.

As you awaken you find your horse licking your face, and it is morning. A nearby dried up creek is flooded with thawing snowpack from the mountains.

This will cause a delay.
A. Attempt to Ford river on horse
B. Go upstream to find a crossing
C. Go downstream to find a crossing

[brainbomb]

Disregard this until your journey home.

##Proposal 9.1.0: Research Navigation. This should be our last level 1 research

We should save our faith now to found a religion

[bo_sox48]

##VOTE YEA Prop 9.1

I agree wrt religion. We're in a good place.

We are going to need to establish new farms. We were not terribly happy wuth where they were anyway, so between having a long term source of wood and maybe having a surplus that we can remove for space, this might be a weird sor of godsend.

[WarLegend]

##Proposal 9.2.0: Have our Spire create Stone (we can create wood or iron too, if we'd rather)

##Proposal 9.3.0: Have M (our specialist) search the tunnels in 13,10 to get them under our control. (she can also scout ruins apparently if we want.)

I think we should have Andoryn make Tysons farm an elven haven as well.

And we need to get lord young to do something. Will post another later

New Haven
Spring 326


Contained herein is an account of events that have taken place within the past few days.

To Lady Andoryn,
Please review:

A gathering of Noble Elven houses convenes.

(Hundreds of elves are seated at long tables. Candles burn throughout the room. Soft harp music plays. Roast Turkey, Jellies, Roasted Lamb, and Croissants on every platter. The ladies dressed in beautiful gowns, the men, with long flowing white hair sit stuffing their plates.)

The room goes silent.

Valeria: Rise Lords and Ladies of New Haven.

Today the star of Esfillia shines and flickers blue. Our time has come again to rule this world as a faction.

Thamrick, the king has died.

(Gasps)

Valeria: With the kings passing comes more frightening facts. The entire Royal Family has been killed by a false High Priest of the Triad. Volburn, is in fact a Death Knight. An undead of unspeakable power. Who knows how long Volburn has been undermining our world from within.

The time to act is Now!

Before Thamrick we ruled Rodoripol for centuries. The kingdom was governed by elvenkind, until the fall of King Phillinius. For nearly 20 years we have dwelled in this sanctuary of New Haven. Isolated, uninvolved until now.

Phillinius bloodline lives on in Lord Wynn.

Ladies and Lords of New Haven.

I present to you, the King, the one true king, King Wynn.

(Wynn Enters, a wizard in blue and gold robes. He is youthful, handsome, and adorns the crown of the Elven Dynasty)

King Wynn: It does not matter what place is called the center of the realm. We are independent in New Haven. Our dynasty fell. And now we shall rise again. Thamrick was a just king, he was a fair king. But he was also a manipulated king.

I am a wizard of Esfillied. Banished by the King. Hunted much of my life. Threatened, slandered and feared by many.

Im not a boogeyman. I am no scoundrel. I practice Wizardry. I will use my knowledge to restore the Kings Magi. Rebuild the guilds. I will unite Wood Elves, our cousins, and Royal Elves back under one banner.

(There are yells and angry remarks in the hall)

King Wynn: No SILENCE. All of you. Enough. We are one race. And there will be no more fighting when I take Wortuine from this treacherous Death Knight. We must build our strength, muster an army, and gather allies to our cause. Every Lord must be arming his peasants. May every lady of the kingdom begin stringing longbows for us.

We will clear Wortuine of this evil.
And we will not...
Be

Alone...

(Lord Verlander Enters)

Verlander: I am pleased to see this gathering of so many noble houses. I wish this could happen under better circumstances. I declare for Esfillied. I will provide 500 Cavalry, and 350 macemen. My daughter Sophia will marry Lord Wynn and become Queen.

Thamrick was my best friend. I will never get over his death. Nor his entire family being slaughtered.

Wynn is my King.

*he kneels*

King Wynn: Lord Verlander, you being by our side gives us legitimacy as not just an elven claim, but one for Gerinia. Our Alliance is unbreakable. I am honored to have you join us. Joining is not enough. You are too wise and too useful to be a yes man.

I name you Hand of the King. And my closest comrade in the coming months.

To win my throne it must be by force. Volburn must be removed. His support is already weak, he has purged many clergy. His forces are the dead. Skeletons of those he has killed. And his dark priests.

I call upon all houses of New Haven to join us. We march for Wortuine in a fortnight.


*Verlander shakes Wynns hand*

(a wood elven spy in a cloak flees the hall lurking in the shadows)

(He lets loose a dove: It begins...)

-Sincerely Walter Andoryn, the house messenger.

[brainbomb]

Desical
326
Spring

(It is a blistering hot day in southern Desical. Sand blows in soldiers eyes. )

(A group of soldiers approach a coastal village on camels)

(Riding up on a brown horse)
Knight of Sapphires: Gentlemen, which among you is Thammius?

*A soldier removes his helm*.
Thammius: Reporting sir, how can I help you.

Knight of Sapphires: Your father is dead. I am sorry.

Thammius: I never knew him. He was just a name to me.

Knight of Sapphires: You are his only living son.

Thammius: how?? Im just a desert bastard.

Knight of Sapphires: The family was purged.

Thammius: So am I just king then or something?

Knight of Sapphires: I think thats how this works lad. Find yourself a political ally and claim the throne for Desical.

Thammius: This is a lot to process.

Knight of Sapphires: Take your time. If you wish to call the banners I will do so.

Thammius: Yes... I.. im.not even an officer in this unit. How am I suddenly royalty. Hardly anyone knew father had affairs.

Knight of Sapphires: Leave the storytelling to me young man.


**Thammius has declared himself a bastard heir of Thamrick, and has claimed the Throne for Desical**

[brainbomb]

Silde 326
Spring

(A wood elven spy arrives)

Atithir: Hello. What news from Esfillied?

Spy: Lord Wynn has allied with Gerinia. They plan to take Volburn by force.

Atithir: I see. Well then what are we waiting for.

*puts on Thamricks crown*

Atithir: Take 52,000. Go to underdark and buy me every orc, every ogre, every goblin, every troll and dark mage money can buy. Lets destroy this shit pile realm, and slaughter every elf we possibly can. Leave Verlander to me. Verlanders mind is easy to control.

Find me the rest of the Hawthornes and let them know master calls on them.

Spy: Yes my King.

Atithir: Volburn can keep my throne... cold I guess? What an idiot.

Spy: Theres one more thing sir...

Atithir: Yes?

Spy: Wynn plans to unite with the wood elves.

Atithir: Oh! Well, then I guess we better make sure Wood Elves get anything they want when this is over.

Spy: Anything?

Atithir: Anything.

[PRINCE WILLIAM]

Call to GM, are all of these true?
How is that the whole royal family was slaughtered? Isn't still the young prince with our barony?

[WarLegend]

Yes the prince is still alive with us. Everyone else is dead I guess

[brainbomb]

The News did not account for Rethanin being safely away. Thats a secret few knew publicly.

[brainbomb]

Rethanin: My lords, I dont know what to do. Daddy is gone. Mother, and my 6 siblings. I...

I want to avenge them.

[WarLegend]
