Ascendant - Game On!

[Shigure]

Oh, T'ien Ch'i, you cowards. The barbarians greedily eye your western frontier. Do you not know the threat the Sauromatians represent? Do you not know what will inevitably result from steppe barbarians invading agrarian societies, societies such as T'ien Ch'i? Kailasa is no threat to you. Kailasa is all that stands between you and Sauromatians stampeding through the Gate of Spring and Autumn. And yet you invade.

Perhaps you have an agreement with Sauromatia. Perhaps you think the Sauromatians friends. But the Sauromatians are not a tame people. They are wild and greedy. They can not be subdued, bribed, pacified, or befriended; only contained or destroyed.

Kailasa calls upon all the peoples of the north: something must be done about T'ien Ch'i, who have all the wisdom and restraint of a rabid beast. I ask this even of Sauromatia, though they consider themselves my enemy.

[Renojustin]

We do not consider the Kailasans our enemy. We merely want to inhabit the lands of our forefathers that Stravinsky cheated from them through trickery and heedlessness.

Helheim, if you need more time for turns we can go to 48 hour timer.

Claire now laughs at the foolishness of the world. Sauromantia is at our doorstep.

Claire was right all along. Ryleh-fishes. You know what agreement I ask of you in exchange for peace : a joined alliance against Sauromantia. That's the reason I need you back in the sea, so I can join the fight against the major power. Will you go on your foolishness and finally face the truth ? Not that it matters much now. If you do not, you will outlive me as long as he cannot enter the seas.

Yoth'Shothogg would be happy to extend an offer to Claire. If, of course, Claire can get over herself and realize that Yoth'Shothogg will not remove her foothold on land voluntarily. Otherwise, R'lyeh will not accept Claire's offer. R'lyeh will fight Sauromatia when C'tis does not pose such a direct threat--Sauromatia cannot easily take any of R'lyeh's provinces, as our only border is water. However, C'tis can easily take some of Yoth'Shothogg's hard-earned land.

Also, we Aboleths thank you for the Demonbred slave.

Claire can get over herself and realize that Yoth'Shothogg will not remove her foothold on land voluntarily.

Claire said that you refused, despite having an island just for you on the opposite side that no one can take but you. The Fishlord has its foothold there, but wants too much.

Claire adds that your foolishness started a war, and that talks are over.

That island is already taken. As is all land that R'lyeh owns. Attack at your own risk, Claire. The Aboleths are waiting.

(Also, R'lyeh came into this war when Marverni called for help after C'tis attacked them; it appears someone's got bad informants)

[Mozkito]

Maverni was cramping my style
