Hmm, hmm...I think it's about time I found a UU! :D Story and stuff to come if I get inspired. I know you're all anxiously waiting. 8)
 
OOC: You people are getting on my nerves :p When that happens, I usually go out on a killing spree killing the said people who are annoying me... :evil:

From the Gorinese Empire
To Skilv'so

We would like to start trade and reaffirm our previous friendship with an alliance of some sort...(ooc. and maybe muffins?)
 
"Panda boy"? Eh, Ken you do realize the boat you're in? Gorin still has a pretty big dagger logged in its back. But, what do I know, you're doing us a favor ;). As I believe Stormbringer pointed out, it's actually extremely hard to get alex to commit to anything.
 
its called a joke... ha ha

OOC: I did not see it as one. I demand an apology for the slur against my beliefs and my Chinese ethnicity. :mad:

OOC: I see how it is. I will now go write my story. Let us hope that your allies are willing to fight Guangfei due to your laspe of judgement. :mad: I digress and will cease posting.
 
lmao i really hope you are joking, cause i know i am (hence the oocness) anyway, im going to bed

the muffins are on the table, have fun
 
OOC Note that Mikel Ambrotos will find funny:

Yes, they seem levelheaded enough.

Back on topic: This may be the second most pathetic war after the one where the Gerbers declared war on the Moguls for saying no to 'hey, lets trad e[sic] guys!'
 
Wait, why is Ken giving out muffins instead of cookies? He must be branching out, to eventually dominate the entire imaginary candy gift market and control us all!!!
 
Skilvso to Gorin

Peace and well greetings, men and women of the Wardash.
For trade, your ships are welcome to ply our docks so long as their prows come painted in peace, and our markets are places where any fellow or missus can trade good wares for good coin. Truly, you'll find plenty o' persons with a bit of eagerness for another source of tradin from the north.

As for that matter of alliances, we're allied with Khemri and beyond that any other people will have to do something real special to prove they're right to have our trust, but we're always happy for general friendship and honesty with good spirited folk. Some of the folks you've got now were once our kin, and we'll be courteous and forthright in all our dealins with you so long as you extend the same consideration to us.

Fair winds to wisdom,
The Council of Princes

Well, remember the specific exception... :p
 
to Gorin:
We thank you for the freedom that have once again reached us. We wish to affirm this gratitude with an alliance of sorts.. Anything in mind?
 
OOC: Right. So, replace the centers with cities and I'll start plotting out the story sequence and looking for a time to make them centers.

BTW, what does the gray and white on the map mean? I have some ideas, but they're probably wrong.
 
The Crusade

Te, Stratikrator, Ðekeron o`lannos tec`Veritas, a tec`ela`Assemblai, protorion vir’se-ela chatosi, eöntasei Eta-kelaeii, a virikratos Elo`valum`viriae.

I, Stratikrator, pledge allegiance (eternally) to Veritas, and to her Assemblum, as a wall (defending) against her enemies, protector of the One’s servants, and executor of his just will.


-Stratikrator’s Oath of Service, circa 900 P.D.

Prologue:

Passing through the thickening clouds, a light rain began to fall. For miles around, the soft patter of water on grass filled the ears of those still alive. In the predawn light, smoke rose silently from a shallow valley. It was warm, as a soft breeze blew in from the sea. It swirled around the rising tendrils of smoke, and they reluctantly gave way, dissipating into the night air. Even in the mountains of central Exilsium, no place was far from the sea.

As the curtain of smoke pulled away, a shallow valley was revealed. It ran red with blood. Some kind of battle, or slaughter, had happened here. Moving closer to the carnage, there were hundreds of bodies, broken and bleeding, that lay at haphazard angles across the entire length of the valley. Towards the eastern end, a small village was clustered near the worst part of the battlefield. The corpses lay thickest here. A figure slowly emerged from the carnage, pushing aside the two bodies that lay on top of him. Back hunched, he tore off his helmet and ran.

He ran for what seemed like hours, stopping only to collapse in a heap at the foot of a great tree. Gasping for breath, he lay back against the tree, sobbing uncontrollably. This was madness. This was…was…

They came in waves. The enemy had cold eyes, he saw. They had been beaten back and defeated before, but there were always more. As both armies moved north, the warfare became crueler, and more barbaric. They were fighting for their homes.

“Men! Now we will break these scum, for honor and glory!”

“For honor and glory!”

The battle was joined, as both sides met in the center of the valley. Slowly, inevitably, they forced the enemy back towards that village. It had been cleared long before the enemy scouts arrived, but abruptly a flaming arrow struck one of the thatched roofs. They burst into flames, as the enemy’s archers dived off the building, shrieking in pain.

They were forming for a cavalry charge. Spearmen were ordered to the front, and the ranks of horse crashed into them like waves beating on the rocks at Krenel. They held, and he drove a spear into the heart of an oncoming horse. It foamed, and collapsed right in front of him. He barely cleared the writhing body, hearing the horse’s scream as one of his comrades finished it off.

They were falling back, praise all! They retreated silently, bowing to numbers and strength. Their gray cloaks whispered as they fled the valley, leaving only smoking ruins in their wake. The men cheered, and one of their captains ordered him and five others to sweep the houses still standing for hidden enemies.

He entered the first house, a simple cottage, breaking down the door with a kick. Inside he saw one of his comrades, holding a child by the hair. She was small, with dark eyes had black hair. Her eyes pleaded for mercy, but she didn’t struggle. Her parents lay behind, in a pool of blood.

He screamed. The blade fell. Something caught fire, and outside he heard a shout. The enemy! An ambush, they cried, the enemy had laid a trap.

Figures in the door, blades in their hands! Darkness.

He sat in the shadow of the tree, and dawn did not come. The clouds were thickening. Then he heard the telltale clatter of cavalry. Three horses approached, and their soldiers dismounted. They had cold, bright swords, and colder eyes. The tallest one wore a purple cape.

They were Valins. He would die now.
