Labyrinthe Forum _ The Council of Jade _ The Snake Withdraws from the Council of Jade

Posted by: Naga Apr 4 2017, 09:06 PM

On the 4th day of the 5th month the Snake will formally leave the Council as our Paths are no longer the same.

I ask all clans within the Council to remove your diplomats from my lands , any left after the Dawn on that day will be seen as spy and dealt with accordingly.

All previous alliance and agreements will be null and void on this day if you wish new terms then you are welcome to send me your offer. This only includes clans in the Council of Jade.

The Lion Clan any trespass into my lands will be seen as a act of war


I wish the Council well on at this parting of paths

Daiymo of the Snake Clan
Warlord of the Shadow lands

My friend

I could not contact you another way so I have done so here.
Let the mists fall upon the land this day North, south, east and west, let it be thick
and blinding across the land. It is sad that it has come to this, that lack of understanding
brings you to this point.

My displeasure will be known by the mists, and I shall not remove them for 30 days. Let your Lands
be free of mist so you can defend the land from the Oni as you are tasked to do. And let the lands of those
not included by you also be free from my displeasure.

How little people know the sacrifices you have made to keep them safe, unfortunately the very position you
hold means you cannot tell everyone everything all the time as you are tasked to keep it from wagging tongues.

Your friend from the Heavens Always

To the honourable Lord Naga, and the Snake clan.

I thank you for all that you have done for the council, and the Empire, over the course of our alliance.

For the Dragon's part, I shall begin removing our diplomats as you request. However I invite your diplomats to remain in ours, and you shall be welcome in the Dragon's halls any time. Though our paths may differ we shall always appreciate your input on matters of the Empire.

There are still arrangements to be made between you and I my lord, however at this juncture I simply wish you and your clan well as our paths diverge.


With honour,

Haiyū Yang-To
Daimyo of the Jade Dragon Clan

None of us question the deeds of Naga in the past and the sacrifices he has made. What we question is his wisdom and actions in recent months.

To add to the blood he wishes to shed now and the political unrest he causes, you now wish to plague our lands with mists for weeks on end so that the seeds and plants that now begin to grow perish, and thus cause our people to starve.

What madness is this, and to whose purpose do you now serve if not the people I believed you forswore to protect?

Lord Masaru,

You presume much, I am and have not been affiliated to the Lion for some months now. However I will make it plain, on
some occasions people cannot be told the full plans that are forming and as I said to prevent wagging tongues and the
complete destruction of said plans such things are kept quiet.
My mists will do you little harm in the 30 days they are there or significantly impact the crops,
if I had wanted to do that I would have released them for far longer I can assure you, and they are but a showing of
my displeasure, I am of course open to discussions on these matters in a civil manner and not in the manner things
have so far been conducted.

Be Very clear i serve the purpose of the Heavens and the celestial Emperor and no other.

Your missive above suggests you are going to cover all lands North, South, East and west with mist. All lands not of the snake. This to me suggests you plan to cover my Families Lands with mist.

Please confirm if this is the case? Are you planning to plunge Panama lands into unrelenting mists for 30 days, and if so why?

Ah Noble Woodrow,

An exert from my missive below - note the and let the lands of those not included by you also be free...
it is my understanding that it is Jade council clans only...that shall be misty for a while... see below

I hope this helps with understanding, but feel free to have me clarify further if you wish

So, can I make sure of something. Is this because Yusaki-sama has be requested to leave the council?

If so, would you cast the the lands of any imperial library if his library card was removed? Or upon the guild halls of any other guild that he may have been removed from?

For many this could be seen as an assault on the Emperor in Jade's lands and you should probably think it through before doing so. I applaud that you stand by the side of the Honourable man, but attacking the Emperor's lands is an extreme way of showing solidarity. Regardless your mists will not touch the Crane Isalands as you have no power there and the Terracotta warriors power will repel any such attempts.

You should also look very carefully at the transcripts before feeling anyone has attack honour, respect, etc of the good Yusaki-sama. Because no-one has, truly. Apart from the Lion and I care no what happens there.

We work for peace not war, stop jumping to attacks on people and their lands...

With respect the Jade council cannot stop jumping to attacks, and it is my very nature to do so for I am that of Battle.

If I was to attack the Emperors lands you would know about it but not in the manner I have discussed my displeasure here.

As i said I am open to civil discussion all though I am learning that is not possible with this council...

Have I not made it clear enough, I serve the Celestial Emperor only and no other. Should he wish me to draw the mists
away then of course I will do so.

No this is not about the casting out of the Snake clan from the Council, it is about the way in which it was done and the lack
of foresight and ability to see the bigger picture.

I ask that you all think also - but perhaps you should have done that before this got to this stage.

So you are casting your displeasure upon the emperors lands, sounds like unwarrented oppression on our Emperor's Lands, that should it have come from any foreign force would be an attack.

You have attempted no civil discussion with the Council, none. You judge from an ignorant and uninformed standpoint, showing that you have no intention so even wanting to do so. So no, you are not open to civil discussion and had no intentions of doing so before commiting to an attack on the Emperor's lands.

No this is not about the casting out of the Snake clan from the Council, it is about the way in which it was done and the lack

The council weighed heavily on this option and for both the council and Yusaki-samas best interest it was deemed best to part ways, you cannot have a council that consistantly is at disagreement on one voter and it was felt necessary to part ways. No animosity was directed ant anyone inolved (in this vote)

Come now, there is no need for this passive aggression, for my part I still stand as a Friend to Yusaki-sama and he is welcome in my home, and I am sure he would extend me the same courtesy, not for honours sake, but for friendship. I am 100% sure Lord Dansu feels the same, but I cannot say the same for the other lords and never would assume to do so.

There is far more important things to be worrying about than a parting of ways in a Guild.

I think you will find I and Yang-to have been nothing but civil.
I have not threatened, insulted and attacked anyone, in fact have tried to make my self clear in what I have said and my actions.
Putting mist over my lands is dangerous and will stop any seaward trade to our empire, which will affect all.
But do what you will, I shall make sure the sails are down so no stray travelers are killed.

While you may be clear, your misconception is clear to all, old alliances have decided for you rather than you considering what has occurred in these discussions. No one hates Yusaki (apart from the Lion possibly) and noone has expressed anything but respect for his duties against the Oni and disappointment in regard to his more "worldly" duties i.e. the council and mortal threats to the empire.

I'm hoping the smile was genuine and not one of condescension, I like making people smile, and remember when the war does turn to heaven, you will need the mortal allies here in amlas, turn from us now and disregard and scorn us with your mists, and you may find we will not be there for you when you need us to stand with you against the enemy.

As the Emperor and Celestial Emperor now exist as one, and the lands which my clan resides upon are pledged to the Emperor, an attack on my lands through calling down the mists could be seen as also an attack on the lands of the Celestial Emperor. That would be most unfortunate for those involved.

Has the Celestial Emperor commanded you to attack my lands?

Matsu my friend calm your rage the Honorable Jade dragon and Honorable crane have done me no wrong and while I have reset there political standing as that is the way when you move forward.

Please take your mists back from them.

I feel that there is a great wound in our land and in the council itself. The new lion clan dayimo since he has joined he split us apart we were strong and now we are greatly weakened. I should have listened to my dear friend Dansu but was blinded by my old friendships with the lion.

Masaru of the lion is the cause of all of this, I vow now to cleanse the lands of him and his family and find a worthy man to lead the lion. He has cleverly deceived his way in to the council to spilt us apart and to divide us so that our defence against the oni is weakend. He wants me either killed or banished from the lands as once again another scheme to weaken us all.

Masaru I give you the offer to commit suppuku do so will in my eyes see honour restored to the lion. If not I will bring war on the lion until everyone that bears you lineage is gone and strike your name from all records.

I know you are in league with Kulduch and I would suggest suppuku or your soul will have a much worse fate.

Then as you say I withdraw my mists immediately and apologise for my misunderstanding.
Perhaps I should elaborate on my nature then to avoid this sort of thing in the future.
I am that of Battle, your best approach with me as I am quick to anger is to be calm
with me, words of calm, calm my rage, words of anger simply feed my battle desire.

So please excuse my initial rage I simply cannot help that as its my nature.

I will go and seek Tea with those of calming nature

Many thanks, for explaining things from yourside my friend, hopefully from here we can look to perhaps rebuilding an alliance where it seems to have crumbled, and when your duty is brought to a fulfillment we can once again unite as one.

Naga

The festering wound within our land is your ego that you and your clan alone protect our Empire and know what is in its best interests.

I do not wish to speak for Dansu, she may confirm or deny herself her thoughts. From her corrrspondence to date though I would be surprised if there is a change in her assertions to date about your role in acting contrary to the Council's wishes.

I have no issue with the Snake. I have issue with you. I do not deny that I have spoken of your incompetence in wielding your powers, which at its worst led to my death to which your best justification was labelling yourself a "[----] priest". I do not deny talking to other Council leads about my concern of you taking the Oni Sword against the wishes of Council members as you believed you knew best. I do not deny my concern at hearing from your own mouth that you have been considering how to destroy this Sword with a Drop In the Ocean to help your ascension in becoming a god. And I do not deny that I dread the day a being such as yourself plagues the Celestial heavens as a Spirit of Incompetence and Bad Judgment.

I care not of your view of me. If my Clan and/or those other Daimyo who's view I respect deemed I have failed then I will cleanse my honour to save the Oni from gaining one more soldier in their infernal war.

Your madness shows when you call an all out clan war when we have already agreed that there shall be a duel to satisfy our individual honour.

From when we last travelled together Ri-Lek wears my mon, and I therefore accept his request to champion my honour.

Ri'lek should not be playing in mortal matters and you are a warrior and a coward.

He is out the mortal caste system and a god if you send him then as he is out the system you will gain nothing from the duel.

Ri'lek let me know what your doing if your playing in the mortal playground while my fight is with the lion I'll bring the right tools for the job.

Honoured Lords and Ladies..... and Ri'Lek.

I have been close friends with a number of you over the years and it pains me to see an argument that must have the Oryx Lord smiling and chuckling to himself.

My Mon bears the Lion and the Snake as well as my Lady's Dove. Ri'Lek we are linked by Kumo as well as Friendship. Sensai - remember the fight against the aspect that was the General? Out of my love for you I say this:

My offer to all.
Let me purge all dishonour.
On my head be it.

I will present myself to Woodrow Panama San and give of my vitae so that we can start this again with Honour in the eyes of all. If you wish to argue once more after that to the point of offering duels then so be it, I will not intervene again.... though it would sadden me.

Alternatively we could all take a pace back, understand that we have different views and try to take these views into account in our actions and speech.

Kumo Haruld.

My Most Honourable friend,

You know me well, you know my nature and calm words i have made efforts to listen to, I have with
an apology to all withdrawn my mists, and tea and conversation with others are truly a great healer.

Whilst my task is for the heavens, and my actions to some seemed like an attack you of all people
no this not to be true, that my actions actually stem from a deep desire to help the people whatever
their clan, its just I am not a diplomat and i stand by the word Loyalty.

I though through some peoples calm efforts especially Lord Naga, and the Kami of calm, have sat
and had time without rage to think on these things.

Please my friend do not throw your life away for our mistakes, for our bickering when we in fact
should be united.

It has shown me that my anger must be driven at the Oni in the shadowlands for they are the cause
of the issues here.

Your friend of battle and mist

Let me purge all dishonour.
On my head be it.

I will present myself to Woodrow Panama San and give of my vitae so that we can start this again with Honour in the eyes of all. If you wish to argue once more after that to the point of offering duels then so be it, I will not intervene again.... though it would sadden me.

Alternatively we could all take a pace back, understand that we have different views and try to take these views into account in our actions and speech.

Kumo Haruld.

Kumo Harold Sama

Once again you bring a voice for peace and a voice of reason.

As the storm in my heart subsides I see less with pain and rage and more clearly once more. While I am not afraid I fear what is to come and the full impact of the treaty,the heavens will be next and the 30,000 will be coming for my gates.


I will ask the following questions :

To the Crane - in your words and actions have you dishonoured me or the snake and do you see a need to a duel?

To Jade Dragon - in your words and actions have you meant dishonour on me or the snake .


If they has not meant any dishonour then none has been recived and there will be no duelling over the recent matters.

To the lion - the argument is between me and you not Ri'lek if you make me have to kill one of my oldest friends to resolve our conflict then I will but be aware the wraith of my vengeance will be great and regardless of how many times you turn on the wheel I will find you and send you again till you arrive where you deserve.

I await people's answers so we can get back to our lands and the roles given to us by the Emperor.

Who knew that by own admission the most honourable Daimyo of the Snake is a Scorpion after all.

Lord Naga Yusaki,

We are and always will be, friends. I am a diplomat first in all my dealings, and it saddens me that you find insult in my words. I assure you that your honour is not in question in my mind.

Both the council as a whole and yourself, needed a parting of ways, your duty needed your attention elsewhere, but your loyalty to us made you feel you must stay in a council seat. It seems both myself and Lord Riki felt you need to concentrate on your duties fully and voted you from the council seat, nothing more. The Snake Clan has not been cast from the Council and is still welcome, it was just required that you step down from your position as Body of the Council.

In short, no Lord Yusaki, we do not question or sully your Honour and no insult was ever intended. While many of the Kazan Iaijutsu Duelists would be honoured to duel you, there is no requirement for it in my mind.

You are and remain, my friend.

Lord of the Crane

Lord Naga,

I have not meant any dishonour. In fact, though we may disagree on some things, I have done my best to be careful with my words to prevent such. I only ask that you acknowledge how calling me ignorant was something I needed to act upon.

In light of the circumstance, I would be content to resolve our dispute with the duel as arranged between the two of us - to the first blow as you suggested - before we allow one another to continue forward with this matter resolved. I wish not to see you turn the wheel, and unless it is of use to the Emperor I have little desire to do so myself.

If you are content with this arrangement, then I am also. As for the duel with Ri'Lek as my champion, it was not I that initiated that duel, and so I cannot retract it.

Thank you Lady Dansu

I must have still been blinded by rage when I read your words the last few months have been a very dark journey for me. We are friends and always will be so if you need me just ask and I will be there for you and the Crane.


Yang To

Me and you need to go and sit down and drink tea and talk about how the world works then we will see if there is still a need for a Duel.


For All members of the Snake

We shall leave the Council but with the blessing of the White Lotus you are welcome to support of allies on the council. So journey with them and help them when they needs.


Tosh my old Friend
You the voice of reason, who expected that I will see you on the field of battle once again side by side. Also that tour around the tea houses I promised.

Sensai will not continue with the Duels , the Only Duel that shall take place will be between me and the Lion.

Looking forward to it

My Lord

would you allow me to take your place in this ill conceived duel amidst such foul insults?

I will happily take on this scorpion creature Yusaki for you, maybe the young pup just needs a lesson in humility?

I do not believe that people not involved coming out of the woodwork at this stage is helpful to anyone involved, especially as almost all of the issues have now been resolved
