GARLJING'S COAT
1806

It seems after the declaration of war, the dragon council has grown, and their alliance fortified with both the deep company and that of the tribes as well, but it seems long overdue that they would speak to the people who have to be caught in the crossfire of this war. Flyers would fall upon each city - each nation with statements made from the temple that would serve the five divine.


Rumors would soon spread that the Dragonlord Varceal Vartuul was waiting on word of osrona- to see what they would do after having a conversation with some of their kind.

"But it seems that now is the time to address some of these words."

Dragon lord Varceal Vartuul : "To the Archmagi I will speak directly - you announced that with a heavy heart that you must inform your people that war is upon them, there is no need - for this war is not for them, it is for you and the two who would conspire to kill my brother. Who plotted torture in front of my own eyes and even dared to ask would I oblige to seeing him hurt. Was this something you didn't tell them? - the people who are supposed to trust you simply because of your rank, or maybe simply trust the two who conspired with you simply because of their name?

At what birthright does it give to think of such cruel ways to hurt a man - To dare say that indeed killing my brother was mercy with all the things you and those evil nobles came up with that night. I recall it all and I am not ashamed to say publicly that I begged for my brother's life, that I warned you that if you were to kill him instead of me you will be putting yourself in war. And what did you choose Amori? war and now you dare ask the people who serve you To trust you? Why would they not Amori, what have you done to betray their trust should it even be a request if nothing ill-willed was done?

I awaited .. I accepted some of your own people for a meeting without violent action to discuss how to bring the war to an end before it even started- six of your own men agreeing with me that what was done was wrong and that you will have to pay the price of it... But now you hide? Behind brick city walls - behind your corrupted council... behind what you did, you would condemn all around you to die and shed their blood for your own mistake and the mistake of Alistair and the Stellus? Instead of accepting the terms and paying the price for has happened, you would rather see that all those around you give their lives just so that you can live a day longer. Amori, how many of your men have left you already - how many of your people have taken refuge within another city.. if this was simple warmongering they would have been dealt with already - if this was simply for Vengeance and not honor then I would have killed them the minute I saw them.. But still, they live - and they can testify against your claims of my actions and that of the Deep Company.

Because they know Archmagi, I did not ask for help when we started this.. They came because it was the right thing to do. You are a coward, a dog backed up in a corner clinging to whatever it can to survive. To throw away everything for one chance of survival. And now I will speak to your people to tell them the truth... People of Osrona I am not your kin - but I am not your enemy. I will not simply strike down innocents as they cross my path, for my blade is not against you - it is against him. Look to the people around you and ask yourself this, how many of you have been attacked- how many of you have simply been assaulted since I started this war. I think you know the answer...

I will tell you what I think Osrona - I think that under the investigations of Vesper and even some rulings that you have seen for your own eyes, that the rumors are true. And the Osronian Hierarchy is compromised with the puppet strings of witches, Six or Seven of them came to your own home and broke down your walls and attacked to regain one of their own. And now they simply seemed to vanish? Did you not try to take back your prisoner? Where is the retaliation for them, did they not attack your Arch magi- why did they deserve to live but my brother dies? I will tell you why.... Because they have infested your ranks Osrona... Amori, Alistair and who else knows are puppets for their games."

Dragon Lady Duniya Vartuul: "Their archmage feeds them propaganda and sits in prayer that his people will rise to his defense when retribution flies down upon him. Over a heretic with Dragonslayer blood within them, they chose to murder one of ours. Were it not Orodyn, it would have been his brother. The city to the east has always been ridden with liars, cowards and thieves. In opposing their lies, we operate at a distinct disadvantage of being honest, honorable and blessed warriors. Unlike Amori offering his own people a blissful fantasy of safety and security, I offer you, my fireblooded, my sweet brothers and sisters nothing but truth. The truth is, some of us will die, and it is for naught but the sake of slaughtering those who sat by and did nothing as they took our best and brightest from us. My intent is to hang, draw and quarter every last knight and loyal citizen behind their walls, until Amori and the Order are disbanded and forced to hiding or death. I pray yours is the same. I cast no illusion of a revolutionary intent, I care not for the fate of the city’s governing. I seek only one thing. The Order of Dawn will see its final sunset before this campaign is finished.”

Dragon lord Dezmond Graves: Peace was an option we were robbed of, a life stolen from this world in the most heinous of ways. Yet, what can I expect from the empire so deeply connected to witch craft. The history between witches and those who live within is tightly knit in this day and age.

I can only promise to remove the corruption, by cutting off the head of the snake itself.  Once the archmagi is gone and a wiser magi takes his place, this bloodshed can end. Best believe we are coming for those personally involved, from the arrests, to the execution.

I had information to pass and a document to discuss terms for Orodyn’s release before you all went and killed our brother in cold blood, and it made me realize how emotionless and sinister you were when you asked for it so casually as Varceal walked right by you with his brother over his shoulder.

Peace is a thing of the past now, dark days approach for you all.

Leader of the Felcloaks and Dragon Council Member Vesper:"It's amazing how FOOLISH Osrona has gotten to believe that anything a witch says, especially in convicting someone else of being a witch, while being a witch as well."
"Do you not know sense?"

The words from a councilman of Theria it's self, Azar Barak : "The people of Osrona should use their heads. This is not a battle that has to lead to the entire city being filled with smoke and fire. This is due to the actions of a few and the many always are the ones who pay, if the past will teach us anything it is that we need to learn from history instead of repeating it. Forsake the honorless Leaders who brought down the wrath of the mountain, stand down and step away.

Fire is coming, one which cannot be put out."

War efforts would continue and the attacks on Osronian lands will continue for as long as it takes - it seems Garljing's coat has made their choice and promise that death will come to those who would Codone Orodyn's unjust death. The alliance between the Tribes, The deep company, The Crab Army and The Fireblooded remain untainted and untouched.

 

You started this war

You were given a choice

You chose war

You will fight, but not for your people

You only fight for your life.

You say I want to kill them all

You are mistaken

You are the one I want

You are the one who will not survive this war

You should know if any others are to die

It's because You misguided them.
