Of Chains & Ghosts [RAID]

[FrozenDeadGhost]

Issued from the the foundation of Altharim, Under Seal of King Za’agan Sun

"To live beneath a shadow is to forget the shape of your own soul. To kneel before rot is to invite it into your blood. Terminus, you haven’t forgotten, have you?"

Let this proclamation be read aloud in every hall, across every shore that still knows warmth.

I, Za’agan Sun, King of the Altharim, declare war.

Not upon the people of Antefinem, whose hearts may still yet pulse with freedom, but upon the filth that binds them.

Terminus.

The pseudo Patron.
A parasite.
The abomination wrapped in its own delusion and piety.

This ‘being’, that reeks of death magic. I have seen its influence, I have lived in it in my youth, I have watched as its presence gnaws at the soul of the land, enslaving minds beneath the guise of strength.

Let the world know,

My war is not with the innocent.
My fury is not for the farmer.
My hand shall not fall upon the child.

But Terminus is a plague.

He sits atop your hopes like a garrison god, siphoning your dreams for fuel. He whispers promises of unity, of strength, of protection, but all he offers is bondage. His power is not a gift. It is a chain.

And so I come, not as tyrant, not as invader, but as cleansing fire.

To rip out the root of your decay. To break the spell of rot that numbs your spirit.To exterminate the cancer that calls itself your patron.

Hear me, people of Antefinem.

The moment Terminus dies, you shall live. The moment his influence is severed, you shall rise. I do not seek to conquer you, I seek to free you.

Lay down your false banners. Denounce the beast. Turn your backs upon his throne of bones, and stand with the world once more.

I implore those who do not wish for bloodshed to step aside.This is your warning. Your reckoning. A chance.

The hour of deliverance is near.

~ Signed and sealed,
Za’agan Sun
King of the Altharim

Objective: Capture Terminus

Negotiations come to a close over sweetly spiced tea. The Queen & King of Altharim have met with the named negotiator of Antefinem & Fortune to foster relations and achieve pre-emptive peace. A crow-feathered Aerodyne could often be seen frantically darting between the Kingdoms in the days preceding the declaration.

In the spirit of sovereignty, responsibility, and Altharim's unwavering commitment to progress, I declare today the decision to withdraw from the path of war. A choice rooted in the recognition that the costs of war, measured with lives and the stability of future generations far outweigh the ambition of our conflict. Let this not be confused with a sign of weakness, but a sign of Altharim's credence of redemption for even those of proclaimed enemies.

We remain watchful. We remain prepared. But today, we take a step forward towards progress.

Queen Ishildr E. Sun
