Re: Proclamation of the Prieshood of Ulm Reborn
We have seldom seen such twisting of the truth! But what can one expect from
those who live on the life force and suffering of others?
Yes, our knights did execute some villagers. But executions were far from
random. When our forces entered the provinces in question, they were aghast at
the rioting and destruction. Corpses were littering the landscape, the unrest
had reached levels that made any production impossible, and there were no
supplies to be had for any price. The history of the Civil War is part of the
education of every commander of Ulm. We have never engaged in pillaging
ourselves, but we recognize the signs!
And in the middle of this vampire-made Hell, some rather peculiar villagers were
strutting around, helping Sanguine Reeves prey on the innocent. These
vampire collaborators were in the best of moods, cheerful and confident despite
the desolation around them.
Even if we had wanted to let these immoral wretches live, they did not give us
the chance. They threw themselves under our warhorses' hooves, and died.
We guess they feared the justice of their former neighbors, whom they had
betrayed to the vampires of Sanguinia.
We are happy to report that after just one month under our rule, the rioting has
greatly diminished, no one is starving, and the grateful population has taken
Lady Elena into their hearts. They have noticed the undead horde moving north,
and are joining the local militia. Your soulless minions and cowardly harpies
will be given a chance to appreciate the difference between the enthralled,
ragged scum that was policing the lands under your rule, and the well-trained,
well-equipped militia, who defends it now.
