Arrrggh, me furry little hearties. I be in charge of this ship now.

Re: Found a replacement for Kharam Dzu
 

If the High Priesthood of Ulm ever had any doubts about the dwarves, that avatar
cinches it. Bloodsuckers, all of them... demons, vampires and pirates, what's
the bloody difference.

Re: Found a replacement for Kharam Dzu
 

That's not a bloodsucker in his av, it's just a bald man eating liquorice.

Yum yum.

A pirate band attacked our forces. It was as dust under the Prophet's feet.
Any raiding around the Black Sea, any pirates advancing towards Ulm,
any disrespect to Lady Elena will be considered a declaration of war.

Re: Found a replacement for Kharam Dzu
 

The Vaettir would suggest that any who call the woodlands their home should be wary of the Ulmish war machine. To support their vast armies they are surely cutting down great swathes of forest land.

Re: Found a replacement for Kharam Dzu
 

Nonsense. We do not use charcoal. Not because we do not hold forest
provinces, but because we have long ago mastered mining coal.

We respect the land. Our lands are fertile, and Lady Elena holds no
no magic school higher than nature.

Furthermore, we have made the unilateral pledge not to attack any
nation that is not under the sway of evil overlords. Elves and
humans have nothing to fear from us.

On the other hand, Demons and Vampires cannot expect any mercy from
us, and the Pirates are being observed with suspicion...

As for the Vaettir, The Priesthood is divided. Racial harmony is
a worthy goal, but the recent proclamations are aimed at stirring
enmity between Ulm and our elven neighbors.

Re: Found a replacement for Kharam Dzu
 

The Vaettir are, as is commonly known, exiles. We know the horror of being driven from our homes by the foolish wars of the 'greater' races. We would hate to see the same fate befall any of our fellow forest dwellers through lack of attention to Ulm's military juggernaut.

Jomon has been known in the past to employ the ever hungry Gaki, which share a bond with our cousins the long passed Bakemono. We are consulting the Gygja for council in this matter - perhaps they are our cousins too, or mere mockeries of our race.

Re: Found a replacement for Kharam Dzu
 

We would not like to see to see any peaceful people driven away from their homes.
We have already stated quite clearly that we will not attack the elves or the
knights unprovoked. We would very much appreciate it if you were to stop
expressing doubts in the veracity of our proclamations.

The Reborn Ulm will not coexist with evil, and will certainly not engage in evil
actions itself. Vampires exist only by murdering and feeding on innocents. The
demon wives have enslaved their husbands, and turned them into an affront to any
sentient being. The miracle of the Aufklarung saved us from a similar fate, and
we consider it our destiny to stand in defense of anyone suffering under the
yoke of the undead or infernal forces.

We understand that our uncompromising stance places us in a vulnerable position.
We would rather die proud and true to our ideals than compromise with evil.

Re: Found a replacement for Kharam Dzu
 

Ahh, but our thralls willingly submit themselves to us, just ask them! Be free of your worries, live a stress free and happy life, with no responsibilities at all! We will make all decisions for you. That's Nirvana!

Re: Found a replacement for Kharam Dzu
 

Lies! We attacked the province at the same time; it was just that your entire force was there where mine was more appropriate for the "indie" situation.

We would appreciate if the land in question, which is right next to our capitol, was ceded to us. Arghgg.
