Re: Fame and Riches - game started, AR-s coming in.
The hairy ones had sent their sellsword company across the river to claim territories belonging Machaka and their allies, by tradition. With no actual intention, nor will in that matter, to spark conflict with south-eastern neigbours, the monkey tribe, Johannes Kurkunkastaja was heavily troubled during his venture to the south, and made a decision with long reaching consequences...
Sometimes even the prophet leaves the capital of Machaka, and walks the paths in the jungles and streets of the villages like an ordinary man. Again, Johannes Kurkunkastaja had left the field army commanded by Mganga behind and hurried south under the cover of disguise to find out the truth behind the rumors.When the prophet arrived to the region, the locals didnt betray him, but wishpered their worries to his ear in secrecy. The mercenaries had slain local militia and magistrate without negotiations, and claimed the region to their masters. Some dauhgters were taken, and some loot too. Nothing too dramatic, if one would have asked the prophet himself. "It is the nature of this business. When a mercenary, act like mercenaries do", he was thinking, but hold his peace nevertheless. However, this was too close, the prophet decided. Considering the relative strenght of the monkey empire, they should not push their borders so close the seat of Him whose name should not be said aloud. He sent runners to summon Mganga with his infantry, archers and spider riders. The dawn was red, when the army arrived. Johannes was waiting for them and gave instructions to the commander. They should throw the mercenaries back over the creek, and hold their positions until further negotiations. Mganga stared at the horizon: "It is red as blood. The sky I mean. And blood there will be. Remember, lord prophet, one cannot wash blood away with water." |

Most Famed Johannes Kurkunkastaja!
Our Diplomatic and mmilitary staff held a summit considering the very tension our forces presence causes within the spiderpeople's borderguard. As we understand the standpoint of safety, I came with a new offer that will certainly ensure u about our peaceful intentions: The officially signed "season-buffered peace agreement" will contain this addition on our part: the monkey sellswords and all regular forces will retreat from ur side of the river by the end of next may, handing the administration of all the provinces there to the twohanded blackskins. awaiting your answer, Aruna, Bandar General |
Re: Fame and Riches - game started, AR-s coming in.
Dear Kurkunkastaja!
I see, Your Enlighteness saw it not an option for yourself to prevent those inhabitants the gift of being Your underlings. Hear my new peace offer. I keep Validun (96) under monkey control for next month only, then hand your people the right to govern there. Fordo's warriors will stay in place, and no reinforcements will be sent by us thru the river (as long as there is a peace agreement between Machaka and Bandar Log) And world peace. I mean a NAP3. what you say? Aruna, Chief of the Military High Command of Bandar Log |

Most Respected Beautiness of the Celestial Empire!
Please accept our gifts of these gold-woven carpets as a symbol of our great grief. Its always saddens me to hear senseless violence, which happened like an accident, our elephants just couldnt hear the trumpets which ordered them back. They were fine soldiers of an ally, they will be buried in ornamented (and very flat) coffins, like (very flat) war heroes. Aruna, the Gorilla |

Mighty Archteurgs of Ermor!
The 2nd (southern) bandarian army has reached the cape, and the bridge to your island. We would like to offer u our peace agreement of a NAP3: let the river be our natural border: our army wont march in into Elidor, if u find it acceptable. with friendship from Bandar The Dictatoress of Fashion, the markata princess |

A Red-caped rider bearing a scroll approaches the lands controlled by the Monkey people:
We respect your elephants might and must say that we learned a great many tactics from this accidental battle, namely that our cavalry can't take on elephants on a 1-to-1 basis. Despite a recent revolt by a vampire count, it is assumed that the Monkey people will respect Tien Chi's sovereignty over the Cacevic Highlands (92). - Du Qiunniang, the ridiculously beautiful and now heroically strong hall-of-famer prophet of Li Xue |

Your assumption is right, the river is our border, and we stick to that by honor and respect. with friendship from Bandar Log Aruna |

To the Lord of the Spiders, children of the unforgiving forests!
Fordo Borgit's attack was in anticipation of ur suspected invasion (fortunately he failed miserably). We anticipated it because of the lack of answers to our messages. We are very happy and hopeful we can keep peace and revert to discussing cooperation, we wont plan any more attacks. We left Validun for your warriors to conquer, and even set a traders guild up there to ensure your people's prosperity. The First Army of Bandar is marching against Namor as u read this. We hope we can work out an agreement regarding the provinces there. Namor is only a couple days of tiger-ride from the residence of our Beloved Szivi, the one who is Hairless and Determined, and the maharadjas. (second province from capital) So securing it is of high priority for us. awaiting ur answer, Aruna, from Bandar HQ |
Re: Fame and Riches - game started, AR-s coming in.
O Antifates, wise among the wise
We Oracles were waiting for this encounter with representatives of B'Jandis, the Stealer of Corpses. We have come from the deepest halls beneath the Earth to meet you on this bridge. We know the great power you have on the souls and corpses, beyond death. We respect it. But we invite you to remember our own old words of wisdom, that even our new Lord recognizes: " The Mountains were silent for our birth; they will keep silence long after our passing." By the powers our lord Jörmungandr and the Deep Council granted me, I declare that this bridge where I stand, shall be the borders of our respective empires. We also offer you all the lands North of the bridge of Robber Home, still occupied by uncivilized tribes and petty leaders. May you bring the lights of civilization in this area. Our diplomats will wait for yours at that bridge, too. And to conclude this ceremony, we wish to engrave on this marble column in the middle of the bridge an oath of friendship and peace, according to which our nations will refrain from war a season after declaration of hostilities [NAP3]. Now speak, Grand Thaumaturge, Agartha is listening... Words of "Marbleskin" Tammuz, Oracle of the Ancient to Antifates the Grand Thaumaturge and to the Ermorian Nation |
