MP: Fame and Riches - game ended, Numahr - Agartha won!

[Numahr]

People of Tien Chi!

Long ago you started an unjustified war against the brilliant Ulmian civilization. We believe you betrayed your own centuries-old principles of stability and equilibrium by this aggressive act. Fate, in Her wisdom, has sent you a clear message by destroying your army under the walls of Ulm.

Ulm has then counter-attacked you, making for a re-balancing of tEquilibrium. Your mages and celestial servants, helped by even stranger creatures summoned from far away, have helped you to preserve your ancient kingdom's integrity. And so the equilibrium and balance of power have now been restored.

Now Jörmungandr wishes to provide you with a friendly advise: do not commit the same mistake twice, and stop the flow of violence you once unleashed. You may want to reconquer provinces lost to you, but do not attack Ulm's heartland East of the city of Ard and of the Feldan Forest.

The Ulmian civilization cannot be compared to the Ermorian and R'lyeh barbarians. They brought us, Agarthans, a new breath when we had lost all hope, and our World still needs their lights. If you consider yourself fiend of the Ancient Ones, then consider the Ulmian principality in these regions [41, 42, 47, 50] as part of the Agarthan Well-Protected Domains. Thus aggression in these regions will mean withdrawal from our peace treaty
[the NAP3 count down will apply of course]

We trust in your wisdom!

Even as we speak the armies of Ulm are ravaging our domain and sieging our cities. The Iron Angels of Ulm have defeated our best. Where is this equilibrium of which you speak?

Sleeping monkeys, awaken before it is too late.

Emperor of Tien Chi!

As we said, in case it requires clarifications, it is understandable that you conquer back all lost provinces. We only request you to leave the last 4 provinces of the Ulmian heartland. Ulm's counter-attack was legitimate as it was a case of self-defense. Now that you have proven your right over your territory, be reasonable and do not crush a brilliant civilization for the sake of revenge

As we, Agarthans, have been with Ermor. When coming to the assistance of Machaka, we did not try to get more provinces than required: we always coordinated our attacks with Johannes, letting the spider riders conquer whatever they could.


Johannes of Machaka!

As we have stated before, we believe in a world of peace. When the prophecy fulfills and the time of Ascension arrives, Jörmungandr is willing to consider the best out of the best to chose his close and trusted deputies. He will need the assistance of the most powerful mages and warriors of this world. The Great Nuhatussu's leadership in the Ermorian war commands respect. He and His followers share our own folk's attraction for heat. The Machakan burning plains and the Agarthan deep halls beneath are made to unite!

The Agarthan - Machakan friendship has already been demonstrated during the Ermorian war, when we collaborated in a genuinely cooperative manner over which provinces would be for whom to administrate. Let us pursue and strengthen this friendship. If global peace was to be broken in our world, let us fight side by side! Be sure that the Agarthan riches, such as the token of friendship this envoy sends to you, will then be for us to share with you.


O four-armed neighbors!

What does this sudden war-mongering mean? "Bloodlust"? Was not the Ermorian heresy crushed already, as well as the other-worldly mind-rapers?

T'ien Ch'i is an empire in decline, having squandered it's resources on a futile war with Ulm. As you know that war was initiated by our previous leadership. We would be content to live in peace while we await the inevitable ascension of the Lord of Agartha.

We have no armies in the lands that Agartha claims for Ulm, yet most of Ulms armies are deep in our territories and sieging our cities. Our reinforcements reached Ard and saved the city just as the fortifications were breeched. Why does Agartha lecture and threaten T'ien Ch'i instead of lecturing Ulm?

We have never encountered diplomats from Ulm, only soldiers, and representatives from Ulm have been completely absent from this meeting place. Why does Agartha speak for Ulm, and why does Agartha assume that Ulm wants peace or that Ulm will accept the equilibrium imposed by Agartha? If T'ien Ch'i accepts Agartha's ultimatum and Ulm does not, will they then be similarly punished? Surely all of your wayward children deserve the same treatment Great Lord.

We await your ascension ceremony oh lord of Agartha. Perhaps the sleepy monkeys will awake in time to attend as well.

Yours in subservience
