Marverni has occupied lands that are historically claimed by Sauromatia, and is now bragging about preparing to grab more. Such behavior is unacceptable. Sauromatia is offering a fair monetary sum for the return of such lands. The Druids would be wise to agree.

The long-gone souls of the Oracles will pray for the warriors of the bare-chest to squish the filthy man-eaters and rule their lands.

Wow, Mithras, I didn't know you had a druid pretender. Strange how things worked out.
I've wanted to comment on the religious ironies, too, for some time. You see, Nemausius is the celtic god of springs. I've chosen the name because he is a spring. Now it turns out I'm cornered by Niefel and Caelum who have both a strong dominion and my dominion is pushed outwards into the water. The fishes really seem to know who is their patron.


And officially:

The tribes arrived in these lands before Sauromatia. The land has been worked and now the sauromatians come with their horses and historical claims and offer us a measly sum of 500 gold for the return of land that was never theirs.
Outrageous as this may be we will have to rethink our actions.

[Tifone]

Wow guys, you still having problems Spritz's plumed people??

[Illuminated One]

Nah, they were extinguished last turn.
Maybe I should have build larger armies to get the castles down quicker, though.

The Sauromatians actually had conquered that province at one point, however in the war of Agarthan aggression it was cut off from the rest of the empire and overrun by hostile bandits. However our historical claim remains. Given how easy it would be for our cavalry to seize the said territory (and how your nation doesn't share a border with mine other than with that lone territory), I think that offering you any compensation at all is extraordinarily generous.

[Illuminated One]

Hmm, could you tell me what are doing when I don't accept? War or no war?

Besides cavalry or no cavalry I'm going to keep it.

[Mithras]

The Jarls would like to point out that they are ready and willing to give the Druids any support they need during any possible war with the man eaters... and we haven't forgotten that messenger we sent you all those years ago...

[lwarmonger]

Hey, we marinated him with the very finest of wines (made out of his own blood mixed with the brains of our enemies) and he was priviledged enough to be served to our council of 7 witch kings... quite an honor.

[Illuminated One]

Lol, just good that my renegade druid didn't hold a very interesting speech in sauromatia.
