OOC: Sorry, just went through an operation, (what, as I understand failed), so this is last message today going to sleep a bit:
IC
We have reconsidered and we request no military support
We, the Silver Grass Elves, have been working on a certain artifact for 2 elven generations, This artifact is powerful, but we need more time to finish it. Our base, incase someone yet does not know, has been Northern Ir-O-Kee land, so thats where our small village is located.
However soon, our village will be under siege by these infected, our warriors are good, but we cannot win this fight, as our numbers are limited. However, if some nation decides to fund our project, we believe that we can keep undead away from our village, until we finish creating this artifact.
That nation, that funds us, can then claim ownership of that artifact, however it is possible that he has to fight with undead to reclaim our village ruins.
This artifact, however cannot be used by non-intelligent beings, so it should be safe from undead and possible looters. Think of it, as that Griogris Artifact-Weapon(spear), what you happened to "lose". This is similar artifact, what any nation could claim and use in battle, we belive it also is more powerful than Grigoris (Patriarh?) spear, as two elven generations have spend their lives to built this.
If I'm correct, it will also be powerful against undead beings.
However, we lack gold, to finish it, anyone who provides us with gold to finish it, may claim this artifact as their own.
Any nation may help us to finish it, if you supply gold, we can defend our project until it is finished, You then just have to claim this artifact from undead and prove that you are intelligent enough to use it.
To Mist Elves
You may donate, like any other nation, this artifact was meant for your usage, but as we have no time, we cannot make it elf-only usable.
Also, We have a special request (what I won't reveal yet, as Discussing it with Immac) to your leader, what might be useful to you, depending of your reply. No gold is needed to funfill that request, rather militaristic type of support...
