[StarkingSeabers]

*High King Varim paces around his lavish home and watches the passing people on the streets below*

High King Varim-News of the south and west, the current owners of the lands are in conflict with the travellers of the seas, as well as the dark creatures of shapeless form. These are new times, ones we haven's seen since the great exodus from the far north to where we are now. The men of snow havent seen the Dwarves of the underground kingdom and the Elves of forests in century's, not since the great ice blizzard had practically frozen our lands. It would be of great service to the people to speak to the people of the south and reconnect our old relationships.

*High King Varim puts on his large fur coat adorned with metal Nordic plates and sheathes his massive battleaxe, and send word down south to the Elven kingdom, to speak with their leader*

*************************************

To the leader of the Elven men who run in forests, i am the High King of Velostia, a Nordic king to the north of your lands. My family used to be great friends with the Elves of the south and wish to reconnect and rebuild the lost relationship.

Signed High King Varim

*After a few hours of flying a snow hawk arrives in the Palace of the Elven Kingdom and is handed to the Regent*

Elven Regent-This is very interesting, The Velostian High King will coming to visit, the king is not here at the moment, i best send a letter to my liege requesting that he would return home for the meeting.

[StarkingSeabers]

*within a couple of hours a bird reaches King Lauirivian Stonsil*

Lauirivian Stonsil-This is some interesting news, i better take my leave then.

*Lauirivian walks up to the Yulan Empress*

Lauirivian Stonsil-I am sorry my Empress but there is some urgent matters that i need to attend to in my homelands, i will need to leave now, i am sorry for the abrupt departure, Commander Vilio will stay here and act as my eyes, ears and hands, if you need something done just talk to him.

*after he explains to the Empress is abrupt departure he leaves the Yulan capital to return home to the Palace on his horse and should arrive within a few hours if he goes fast*

[Taigawa]

After that, Neyla re-entered the more priate area of the palace where she was keeping the Blackreach emmisary prisoner.

"Please tell me you have something useful on this enemy."

[Free Wolf]

Erik- [Smiles a sad smile] Ah, it is easy to say that. But in war justice is usually put on hold until afterward. [The serious expression returns] Okay Iron, we will do this your way. You separate the ones you think are innocent and send the others to us. You are in charge of them though.

[Erik and his rangers start to leave, but Erik turns back before they completely get out of sight]

Erik- And I better not hear about any fights between my men and them or it will be you who is answering for it!

[They finally leave the courtyard to head back to the temporary command building, leaving Ironhand and his soldiers with over 120 prisoners waiting for their fate]

*Ironhand starts listening to the prisoners case. As the dwarf will say I or Na on the prisoners. The ones who are innocent get taken to the holding cells. As the others are taken to Erik*

[StarkingSeabers]

*after a few hours of riding to the Elven Capital Lauirivian Stonsil arrives inside the palace to see the regent there*

Elven Regent-Ahh my lord, its good to see you, it has been quite a long time since we have seen you in these walls. I hear the battle was costly but ended quickly and that our construction teams have fixed the Yulan capital.

King Laiurivian Stonsil-Indeed it has, do not fret, everything is better now, we have secured the great friendship that was shared between our people and proved it in battle, curing the Blackreach disease as well as repairing the damages of the Yulan capital. Now if you will excuseme i must get clean, an rest as well as prepare for the Arrival of the Volostian High King.

*walks away to get cleaned, have a rest and prepare for the High Kings arrival*

[Velostia]

*after a day of riding the Velostian High King Varim arrives at the entrance to the Elven Capital*

High King Varim-Goodmorning children of the forests, i am High King Varim of the Velostian kingdom, i am here to speak with your liege lord, i am assume that he has recieved my letter and expects my arrival in his court?

[Adnesean]

The Adneseanian Archer Army had merged with the rest of The Adneseanian Army as soon as they arrived and General James of The Adneseanian Army had taken control of The Army.

The General: All right! Soldiers, we are now at war with the Yasch Empire.
The General: Our Archers had previously attacked the Yasch Empire and it was a success, but that was just a warning that we were coming.
The General: But now, we are now going fight them! Sword to Sword, Arrow to Arrow!

The army cheering and then started chanting "Adnesean! Adnesean! Adnesean!"

The General: Soldiers, March!

The army then started marching off into the Yasch Empire and found a small village.

The General: Attack!

[The Yashch Empire]

The villagers run in fear, wondering why the Adneseans are attacking. The town guards stand no chance against the Adneseans.

Meanwhile, at General Swift-With-Swords battalion.

Troop: Sir?

General: Hmm?

Troop: Why did the Emperor request audience with these men? They attacked our land!

General: They haven't killed anyone yet, attacked any villages or blocked supply lines of any sought. They only fired arrows at our land, for no apparent reason.

Troop: Well, I look foward to.....

*a villager is running accross the road*

General: You! Stop!

Villager: I can't!! People attacking our land!

General: What?! Quick men! Double time! The message will have to wait!

The troops begin to run, beggining to here slight screams of the villagers

[StarkingSeabers]

*after a day of riding the Velostian High King Varim arrives at the entrance to the Elven Capital*

High King Varim-Goodmorning children of the forests, i am High King Varim of the Velostian kingdom, i am here to speak with your liege lord, i am assume that he has recieved my letter and expects my arrival in his court?

*Elven Guard looks at the High King for a mere half a second and quickly ushers the king inside the Palace*

Elven Guard-Of course High King Varim of Velostia, you are expected and a welcoming party is awaiting you, we hope you enjoy your stay here.

*leads the High King to the palace doors and opens the wide palace doors for him and ushers him inside*

King Laiurivian Stonsil-Ahhh! High King Varim of the kingdom of Velostia, it is very good to see that you have arrived here with no problems, we welcome you and your kin in these halls and hope you enjoy the feast we have set out for you.

[Velostia]

*High King Varim laughs with mirth to see the Elven Halls*

High King Varim-It is finally good to meet you in person King Lauirivian Stonsil of the Elven children who inhabit these forests. My kind have spoken well of the relationship shared between our two people's before the great blizzard that had engulfed our land and froze it in time. I believe that my grandfather who was High King at the time was a good friend of yours and assisted you in many skirmishes that had broken out over the years. I embrace the great sights of these halls and smile in joy to see the small but fun loving Elven children of these magical forests.

*sits down at the dining table and helps himself to a large turkey leg and some mead*

High King Varim-Its alot warmer down here then it is up north. Now, i came here to propose a diplomatic agreement between our two lands that will benefit us in the long run.

[Xerairis]

[The voice is quiet for a few moments. Whether thinking of a reply or just to unnerve the conquistadors is up to guess]

Voice- This is the Peoples Liberation of Xerairis. as for my name, you will have to earn that. Now, if you are explorers, why do you have so many men with you? A single person can move much faster, especially in this land.

[Tenebrisia]

Expedition Leader: There are kany beasts in the lands we have travelled. We are also at war with the heathen elves and dwarves. That is why we have so many troops. And what is this "People's liberation" of... Xerairis? We know little of this land.

[The Blackreach virus]

governor General"these men of the east what do we know of them?"
scout"we know they are negotiating with elves"
governor General"then should we attack?"
scout" perhaps but the men need to be prepared and their army needs to be identified"
governor General"OK lets get that done"
[he then reads a old text from a old castle he traveled to]"of all the storms of all the raiders why continue? why struggle and not fall? because the gods demand of you the grand divines demand of you! to continue on and make your leader proud for your people for your pride you fight!"

[Free Wolf]

Ironbark- Oh good, what are the orders? *reads the letter* ha, i see. *Looks at the men* Men we are here to stay. We been ordered to watch the turret and the others. That's all i'm going to tell you now. Ok Tom!!

Tom- Yes sir?

Ironbark- Blow the other turrets.

*the turrets are blow. the only way the blackreach works and other blackreach people is to dig deeper*

****Meanwhile in the south****

*Eli Reads the report of the taking of the farmlands and the fort*

Eli- This is good, Messager send a message to Locke about the Farmlands and what are nexts move is.

*Messager leaves and will soon get to Locke*

[Carulala]

*King Harry Zulu sits on his throne as his daughter walks in*

Rose Zulu- Father, I'm been think. You need to end this pointless war with Tenebrisia. The Elves and Dwarves moved on. You need to.

Harry- Maybe your right. I'll write a letter to them asking for them to come here for peace talks.


*The Letter gets sent out*

[StarkingSeabers]

*High King Varim laughs with mirth to see the Elven Halls*

High King Varim-It is finally good to meet you in person King Lauirivian Stonsil of the Elven children who inhabit these forests. My kind have spoken well of the relationship shared between our two people's before the great blizzard that had engulfed our land and froze it in time. I believe that my grandfather who was High King at the time was a good friend of yours and assisted you in many skirmishes that had broken out over the years. I embrace the great sights of these halls and smile in joy to see the small but fun loving Elven children of these magical forests.

*sits down at the dining table and helps himself to a large turkey leg and some mead*

High King Varim-Its alot warmer down here then it is up north. Now, i came here to propose a diplomatic agreement between our two lands that will benefit us in the long run.

King Laiurivian Stonsil-That sounds like a good course of action High King Varim, It would be better for us to resume the relationship we have once had and embrace the trade and protection it comes with it. I think it would be most excellent to sign a defensive pact and a trade pact between the two of us, i will return with the documents.

*King Laiurivian Stonsil leaves and returns with a parchment dteailing the agreements of a trade and defensive pact between the the People of Velostia and and the Elven people of StarkingSeabers*

King Laiurivian Stonsil-I have already taken the liberty of signing under my initials, now it will be your turn to sign it.

*passes the parchment to High King Varim*

[Velostia]

*high King Varim at the parchment and sees the writing and smiles brightly*

High King Varim-this sounds like a very good diplomatic parchment, I would be happy to oblige and sign it my old friends.

*signs the parchment and smiles and gives Long Laiurivian a handhsake*

[Tenebrisia]

*After staying in Ironcastle for some time, King Torkild is picked up by a passing Tenebrisian fleet, leaving behind some diplomats to continue negotiations. They travel into the inland sea and after a few days, near the coast of StarkingSeabers*

Torkild: I see you've made some improvements.

Captain Phillipe: Command Warsame's idea, my liege. He calls it "Greek Fire". No idea what "Greek" means, but the fire part is self-explanatory.

Torkild: So, what does it do? Spit fire?

Phillipe: Precicely, my liege. To my knowledge, it uses something called "air pressure" to throw some "chemical" that catches fire towards the enemy. It even keeps burning after it lands on the water!

Torkild: Excellent. Let us continue.

*A Tenebrisian fleet of 20 carracks (5 of which have Greek Fire) and 50 caravels head towards StarkingSeabers.*

[StarkingSeabers]

*A hidden elven scout sees the oncoming Tenebrisian fleet heading for the Coast and goes to the nearest strp gold to set up the anti-ship ballista's and send a message to King Laiurivian Stonsil*

Elven Scout-Commander! Tenebrisian ships spotted on the coast! They are coming this way!

Elven stronghold commander-Really? Sound the alarm, set up the anti-ship ballista's along the coast on both sides and have them aimed towards the ships I will send a message to King Laiurivian Stonsil requesting assistance.

*the strongholds set up the anti-ship ballista's on either side of the incoming way of the Tenebrisian Ships and send the message to King Laiurivian Stonsil*

*mesage*

My lord, a Tenebrisian fleet is heading this way along th coast, we have anti ship ballista's at the ready and the strongholds ready but it would be best to send an army down here to eliminate the threat.

[StarkingSeabers]

*durin the feast with Laiurivian and High King Varim a messenger bird flies through the window and lands on the table*

King Laiurivian Stonsil-This is not good. *checks the message* Those thrice Damned Tenebrisians! They are sending a fleet along our coastline. Word is spreading of a new weapon they call "Greek Fire" and that King Torkild is attending the fleet. I will need to dispatch an army to attend to this threat, I will need to go myself, i do hope you enjoyed the feast High King Varim and I am so sorry about this interruption, you can stay if you want or return to your homeland, I will need to get ready for a battle.

*walks over to a cabinet and retrieves his weapons and armor from it and dons it on*

King Laiurivian Stonsil-Advisor!

Military advisor-Yes my lord?

King Laiurivian Stonsil-I need an army of 28,000 to be ready at once, since the battle will most likely be a siege defence I will need to some more archers, infantry and mages, some scouts for ambushes, we will have a couple of platoons of Calvary just in case, I want a group of 100 elite guard to accompany the battle group, since they are going along the rivers and gorges along our shoreline they will encounter the Strongholds with the anti-ship ballista's, but they have strong ship so we will need to provide assistance.

Military Advisor-I will send the orders now my lord and I will send a message to the stronghold commander of our reinforcements.

*sends out orders for the army of 28,000 troops to be set up and the message to the stronghold commander is sent saying we are on the way*

[Adnesean]

The Adneseanian Army had destroyed about half of the village when the General sees troops running to the village, they were not Adneseanian troops, they were enemy troops. The General then points at the troops

The General: Attack!

[Tenebrisia]

*The Tenebrisian fleet stops well out of range of any Starking defenses.*

Torkild: Hold here! Avoid using the Greek Fire. We don't want the enemy to know what they're dealing with. We will stay back and blockade their ports, stop any ships from entering or leaving.

*The fleet begins stopping all shipping in and out of the port, by force if necessary.*

[Velostia]

*High King Varim looks at the Elven king*

High King Varim-You do not need to worry my friend, we are allies, whoever this fools are will have theirs heads on spikes, I was going to travel to the Tulan capital but I can see this is more important. I will request for a army to be Brough down here, nobody messes with the friends of Velostia and live to tell the tale.

*sends a winter hawk with a message to the Velostian Jarls requesting an army to be Brought down to StarkingSeabers to help with the defence*

High King Varim-These men, Tenebrisians as you say, will fall to the might of our axes and great swords and their souls shall be sent to the void.

*high Long Varim dons his Great axe and Nordic armor and accompanies High king Varim to the army*

[StarkingSeabers]

*many of then townapeople run screaming from the invading Tenebrisians, the local garrisons engage the attacking troops in the port and defeat the marines who managed to get in and turn the local defences in the port against the docked Tenebrisian ships, Ballista 's are fired into the small bottom areas of the ships, causing water to get into it and flood, sinking the ships, 2 are sunk and 1 is heavily damaged but has left the ports, defences are on the high and troops all around the ports and coastline defences are ready and see the ships along the coast, a couple of mobile ballista's fire upon a couple of the ships in the fleet, hiring the bottom of them causing 2 more to start sinking and another two to be heavily damaged, one has lost its mast and the other has had its bow stern hit and and munitions bay of the ship hit*


***********************

King Laiurivian Stonsil-Are you absolutely sure? I do not want you to go to war so soon. They are our enemies, the dwarves enemies and the Carulalans enemies, they consider us heathens to their religion and want to exterminate us, we do not want you suffering the same fate.

*as he says this they walk into the hard and see the 28,000 troops that are ready for the defences*

[Tenebrisia]

OOC: I'm not actually invading you. The fleet is several kilometers away from the shore, so no troops have landed and no shots fired. It's just a blockade.

*The Tenebrisian fleet spreads out to make sure no ships get past. The city is completely cut off from supply, apart from via land routs, which create a large logistics problem. The Greek Fire has not been used, as to avoid the elves learning what it is.*
