FUNDS

30,000 COINS OR MORE

The Aspect of Carnage has been silent since it's revival, but a loud howl across Esshar heard, calling for the tribes to prepare for war.

The drums of war imminent.

For months, even years has Esshar rumored about the Voice conspiring with the Family. In the wake of the exposure, Sibyl arises among the tribes in the call to war. Warriors, Scouts and Hunters prepare their finest garb, sharpened weapons to join the Family on the attack of the Shimmering City. The predators now seek a massive scale hunt against the knights of Osrona. Sibyl's sights? On the Petrakis family.

Primary Objective:
The gathering of sacrifices essence for the Spirit Receptacle from enemy soldiers in the battlefield.
Secondary Objective:
Capture of any of the Petrakis family.

Quote:"For many years has Os' tried to dissuade tha' growth o' tha' tribes through tha' means o' our War-chiefs an' even my daughter. They cower, spewin' empty threats. It is now our time ta' dance wit' them in tha' art o' war. Tha' strength o' every tribe, every warrior will be present fo' tha' blood shed will serve as a sacrifice fo' tha' spirits we ever praise. By their name we walk into this battle, an' by their will, Os' will be torn ta' shreds, never again challenging tha' tribes.

I've been waitin' fo' ya' your highness, but ya' never came. Of course, prey never comes ta' tha' home o' tha' predator. Tha' predator infiltrates tha' home o' it's prey ta' find it's filling. An' I'm hungry."

Quote:"How I've come to find both the Docros and those of Moxtli is, sadly. Disappointing. The former, see an act of war as a source of entertainment. That they are so bored with their selfish frivolity, that they must instead seek to harm the lives of others remains nothing more than sad. That they seem to be living amongst Asphodel? I find perhaps entertaining.

No longer pleased with having bled Achyon of all its wealth, they must instead join with the bloodsuckers to make Asphodel decay as well? At least like lives amongst like then.

As for Moxtli and Sibyl, she fashions herself as a predator, yet the very boy we were going to save, she released. And then barked as if she had any control over the situation at all. As if she isn't so desperate for a way to unify her people, she practically begged for Osrona to assault her city.

She treats her people as tools for power. With no respect for their lives.

To the people of Moxtli, who wish peace, to the Rhoynish who wish for vengeance on the Docros, I offer sanctuary, and a home. Osrona's gates will welcome you. If you wish to fight, then fight with us. If you wish for safety, you'll be granted it.

To those who seek to invade?

I wish you peace within the Cleansing Fire of the Stars.

You are not the only one bringing guests to this. But make no mistake, this is no assault.

You have brought War to your people."

You want to extend your aid to the war?
You are free to come, but don't expect your other enemies to be happy about it.





Opportunities are meant to be taken. In light of the assault upon the Shimmering City the Twilight Coven, who's opposition of the city and its belief predates Osrona itself, has made a move. With little troops to mobilize their presence remains largely unknown to most, yet she who stood at the center of this brewing conflict was paid a nightly visit.

For it is within her dreamless nights she heard his voice.

Quote:How rude of you not to address me during your coronation. What do you believe your people would say if they knew the truth? Our homes have stood against each other for over a millennia, nothing you can do will change that. You are far too concerned with the lives of others and refuse to open your eyes to the truth of this world.

Prepare yourself, Arista.
A new challenger is approaching.

A precedented name deigns brave a smidgeon of the spotlight once a truer challenge is issued.
... it makes no reprieve in accepting it.

Quote:"Ahn! You needn't say more, your highness.
I've heard the words so thoughtfully cast our way, and I must say they've done quite a number on my ear most of.

Though I may have seen you grown into a woman worth the pride of your namesake, I can't help but wonder...
Will your shoes dangle free once you move? Or will you perhaps fill them in quite nicely?

.
.
.

Either way, bring your best pair, darling. The time for our second dance has just about arrived...!"

Quote:

For a long time, I have gone allowing my feelings to lay dormant.  I stood beside the Docro family even as I watched them perform acts of ruthlessness again and again. Perhaps this is where I failed Seth, in the end. There was something different in Seth, something his own father couldn't control. Perhaps not everyone could see it, but I did. Admired it, even while his own father wished to squash it. Over the years of gaining the Docro's trust, I have done things I am not proud of. I've never been a good person, nor have I acted to be - but everything I did in the end was for my home. Moxtli. To lead them into a better tomorrow, to a more powerful and primal way of living. Freedom from the chains that had bonded us to Osrona for so long. I can't judge Sibyl for her business or personal decisions with the Docro family, for I had planned to be no different in that regard.

She's still a crazy bitch who I want dead. Let that be established now.

But....

Alexei Pyr Docro.
You killed your own flesh and blood.
You took my best friend, my confidant.

Seth was capable of more than you could ever bring to the table.
You're washed up. You should have stayed dead the first fucking time.


If everyone else is too afraid to do it on his behalf then...
I suppose I bring my challenge to you.

Seth Vanrouge deserved more than what Alexei bigbaby Docro delivered to him in the end.
He deserved everything you ever took from him.

You killed him.
So now on the battlefield, I come for you.
-and everyone you fucking hold dear.

Yours Truly, Lucinda Meztin

An important letter is delivered from the letterhead of Asphodel regarding details of the upcoming raid.
Non-magi couriers, all with similar two-hole piercings in their neck, deliver the same message to the people of Esshar.
A reminder to those who attend that, should you proceed, your life is forfeit.

Marina pyr Docro, too, has a special message, as she declares Asphodel's involvement on behalf of the Vampire Queen.

"Hello, citizens of Esshar. The mentally stunted of the Fireblooded.
The feeble zealots of Osrona. The ultimately powerless.

My name is Marina pyr Docro. This is my first and only warning to you.

For those of you who value your loved ones, turn back.

For those of you who haven't lived life to the fullest, turn back.

This is not a battlefield. This is not a proving ground. This is war.
The shredder of humanity where the weak will only be remembered by their family,

and where the strong will devour them.

There will not be another chance for you to regret your decisions.

Hic Sunt Sanguis."
