Sitting on the Fence [Guignol Vs. Altharim]

[Zhonya's Hourglass]

GOAL: DESTROY ALTHARIM.
DATE: TBA

[Left Brain]

The bustle of mercenaries once again reach the ears of the masses, bearing rumors of spoils and glory to be earned in the name of an excursion lead by the ambitious. Blades and mind sharpened, there's no need to guess just what boon they've set their eyes upon within the world stage.

Soon, they'll march towards Altharim.

"This  shall be short, sweet and simple. For the ones that believes themselves competent enough to stand atop a wealth of lies far too complicated for their feeble mind. They see you not as but one character, and while the fairytale may have been sweet it seems fate has deemed it a necessity to swing the axe. The fall will not be gentle, but perhaps they'd stay to love you for what they know, rather than I."

“I warned you this would happen, and still you chose to make us your enemy.”

“You chose that.”

In response to the declaration of WAR on Altharim, it seems a representative of Nilhirra,

Valdis Hiraeth,

has sent out a missive to offer the aid of The Nameless Circle in the complete annihilation of Altharim.

“Sanctimony is a sin to The Self,”

“-but your accumulative sins will damn The Many.”

A 100,000 COIN BOUNTY HAS BEEN PUT OUT FOR THE RETRIEVAL 

OF KING ZA’AGAN SUN OR QUEEN ISHILDR E. SUN OF ALTHARIM’S SKULLS.

The rushing of water falls silent.
Altharim's Commander hears the declarations one by one from atop the garden's fountain.
It takes not much more than a wave of the hand for the preparations to spark the fledgling power into activity.
The rasps of blades howl as the forces of Unity prepare their stand against the dark that encircles them.

-

How cowardly.
You cast truths veiled in deceit, and lies mistaken for earnest.
Your plants like Melina and Caeltheus were just another in a long line of liars and killers your kind protects. Traitors of our lovely Unity need not apply to your failed casus belli. But of course, any straws that you can grasp to weasel out whatever vain victory you can gain.

If only because you won't find any here. 

-

Shortly thereafter, the Frosted Queen of Altharim herself makes her own message known.

Somewhere along the way you mistook my kindness to allow your people redemption as docility.
The goal was always to free this realm of your influence.
You throw a tantrum over us attempting to redeem two of your people. All you know is destruction.

Stage direction complete, let the scene begin.
