5275 Master / Apprentice

[Kellenved]

Hear Ye! Hear Ye thou Monarchs of Maelstorm!

Heed not the honey words of the Druid king and his lackey the Ranger. In times past, they spoke evil against my friend The Tyrant (an unfortunate title forced upon him as overcompensating mother) warning people of his aggressive intent. Yet lo and behold, it is not the Tyrant with evil and warlike intent. No, it is the Ranger who invaded the Untamed Lands without provocation, casting a spell of enchantment over the peace-loving king and arriving at his capital with an massive army. An army, we suspect, that comprises ALL of his forces...leaving the lands of NyVaria undefended. Kings of goodwill should take advantage of such an opportunity to strike, free from guilt or opprobrium, as the Ranger's perfidy deserves such recompense.

Ahh back from my ride out onto the plains and my island refuge of Stormgate, and upon my return all I hear is strife and distrust among my neighbors. Neither myself nor the master of Illusions seek harm to others and will entertain offers of peace for three seasons.
And lord Strylin mouth of the North comments like "How can a woman who chooses a sword over a cooking pot be tricky trusted?", is funny from one who is a pawn of the demon princes themselves.

Words words more words ancient words many syllables.

My meager group, hardly 30% of my military, is just stopping by to pick up our exchange student. Remember on turn 1 how your Master’s group kidnapped a poor helpless Aragorn-to-be? Well, we assumed that meant we had to come pick up some ugly orcling whelp. So here we are, doing our part... and this is the thanks we get? Invitations to invade? How dare you, sir. That’s enough to make a Ranger want to refuse his duty to teach Smellypants Jr. some table manners.

Next time, a simple “thank you” will suffice.

Words, words, words indeed...and false words from the lackey's mouth. The benevolent Tyrant's army moved off your pop center, despite having the strength to take it, as a sign of friendship. How was that friendhsip repaid...

We trust the discerning monarchs of Maelstorm know the truth now and will no longer pay heed to your words, words, words

We believe honourable peace between our Kingdoms has proved beneficial to all involved and would be amenable to extending the agreement. What say the Master of Illusions and the Conqueror of Stormgate?

Greetings to all from the Elven King.

I humbly apologize for the delay in expressing our greetings. Unfortunately I have been occupied with matters that required my diligent attention. Both the little people (Halfings) and the people of the forest (Elves) are content with the realms we have at this time. It is both our duty and our honor to ensure that the populations within our borders are brought into the fold. Through The unification of our realms, we might ensure peace within our lands.

Should any Lord of Alamaze have emissaries or covert personnel within these borders, we request that you remove them from these lands. Our dungeons are empty and we would be content to keep them that way for now.

Our focus does not extend beyond our borders and we therefore see no need for further diplomacy at this time. We do look forward to diplomatic relations with the Lords and Lady’s of Alamaze after three cycles of the full moon.

Thank you kindly for your patience and your understanding.

The Elven King

[The Painted Man]

Welcome, Ashgar!

A question for you, Lord Elf: would it be safe to assume that population centers located, say, outside of your (and your Ally's) region and, also say, inside one of either mine or the Druid's be fair game for similar treatment without fanning the flames of war? Asking for a friend.

Also, as a quick follow-up to the Old Guys... rumor has it that the Tyrant couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag, further verified by your call for others to assault me when not a single blow has yet been struck. Perhaps you should not be so quick to judge and wait to see if my own troops grant the Tyrant the same 'benevolent' treatment he has afforded us. I used that big word just for you. It's one of five that I know.

Other Lords of Alamaze (and Amazon): We mean you no ill will. We simply seek to prosper the same as you. Is equality not something worth striving for?

[Brekk]

Morgan Kane please pass on our best wishes to your lieges we would be happy to extend our beneficial relationship for another 3 moons.

Lord of the Rangers we do not want to appear to be taking sides in your battle of words with our mutual neighbors, so in good faith we will offer you the same treaty as the Ancient Ones and Tyrant.

It is true that we have made friends with The Dark Prince. His view of dealing with and punishing our enemies I do admit give even us Barbarians pause. We have always felt that skinning our enemies alive and throwing them into the sea was enough punishment. His ideas are much more torterous and eternal.

King Conan has learned to use that Dark Rage and to focus it at those who would do the Cimmerians Harm.

What do the Amazons give their alleigiance to? A man who stands on a pedestal and waves his hands and pretty colors come out. My Liege recognizes the great barvery and warrior ways of the Amazonian warriors and is happy to note that they have still not lost side with their feminine side. A great accomplishment indeed.

King Conan out of respect for not wanting to kill women and being a fan of King David Copperfield's parlor tricks would like to cement a 3 season Non-Aggression Pact with our Souther nieghbors.

[Strylian]

Inspired by Strylian and his Lord Conan, let's play a round of a Ranger favorite: Campfire jokes!

I'll go first.

Why do Amazons wear makeup and perfume?

Please do finish the statement.
