Let us unite Options

[Ferro]

Northern folk, the time has come to set aside our differences and band together to protect our lands.

Let the spiral and wyrm join forces, seek glory as one as we protect our lands and our people from those who wish to destroy it.

The tales of recent events; an invasion of Imperial armies into tribal lands, the scorching and mass murder of tribals (who are Imperial citizens themselves!) during peace talks, the refusal to bring those responsible to justice. This is the Empire's doing. To their own people. In their own land.

It will not come as news to any of you what the Empire think of us. They use us as a dumping ground for the evil they do not want (or know how to) deal with.

So if they think mass murder of innocents and invasions of their own land is acceptable, just imagine what they would do to us.

For the safety of our people, our lands, our heritage, and our freedom, I call on every single one of you able to wield a weapon to gather at Cairn's Deep whereby we can form our defences against an invasion by the Empire.

We have seen what they are capable of against their own people, so now is not the time to underestimate their capabilities.

I hope this message travels far and wide and we can - for now - set aside differences and unite.

I would agree with Nala, we need to prepare. We do not have the strength to attack the Empire, and we do not wish to do so, but we are strong enough to defend ourselves if we can stand together. I will be traveling the lands looking for those willing to band together if the Empire bring the fight to us.

We do not seek to change our ways. The tribes will always fight each other but when a threat from outside comes to our lands we must find a way to stand together.

Let us prepare.

They won’t do anything to you. It was a very bad judgment by 2 members of the empresses legion who have always disliked Tribals.

Oh and the Empire don’t wish to destroy the North. Let’s just be clear on that!

And as for the dumping of Evil, it was taken out of a city where thousands were corrupted or being corrupted, placed in the north where there was a lack of people, they had people around to stop going there as well.

I couldn't agree more.

The Empire has much maligned our beliefs too, yet allows other faiths of similar nature to flourish. It is not a surprise to our faithful that they have acted in this way, authorising the mass slaughter of those who seek to disagree with them.

We have been thrown around and discarded by the Empire. As you well know our faith was cast out here without a concern. See it's because they view the North as their dumping ground, a lesser place full of expendable lives.

We do not believe your lives are worthless, no life is. To our faith, the taking of a life is tantamount to sin. To see an individual, who has the potential to do anything and be anyone they choose have their life instantly snuffed out fills me only with sadness.

Though it is not our home, and though we appreciate you had no desire for us to be here, the dice have fallen where they have fallen. Our Fates, intertwined and connected by geography must either succeed together, or fail apart.

A Strong North, A Secure North, A Free North is in all our interests.

Consider our support in this endeavour.

We are not saying the Empire are planning to do anything against The North. Just as they weren't planning on doing anything against The Broken Lands until one of their Noble houses marched troupes to the boarder and surrounded The Broken Lands. In fact I think they were in talks with the tribes until that point.

We are not beating the war drums we are simply saying it is better to be prepared incase the worst we're to happen than to suffer if it did.

The 101st and their attitude are well known but if one legion can do this how is it not wise to prepare a defence?

How is it acceptable that they save their people at the risk of ours. Our being spread far and wide made the threat that much more dangerous to us as they had opportunity to hide and grow, as they did. The evil they dumped on us was also directly opposed to our way of life, an evil church of slavery and control cast into a land of people that value freedom most highly. This was not an act of friendship. In fact I think it shows the real problem, they don't even think enough about us to care about the consequences of their actions.

Gunndrick Ironside

[Dave]

They do care, they didn’t want to do it but had no choice.

To my knowledge house D’Treal isn’t a Imperial House, it’s a house that has a pact with the throne that stops them being hunted. The north is strong and endures and I assume as it directly opposed you will not even contemplate that mans offer.

Oh and it won’t hallen, they won’t march into the North.

Snow

[Ferro]

Snow,

Let's not forget we ourselves are tribal. And if that.whole slaughter and mess was done by just two people, imagine what an army is capable of!

They threw worshippers of Certizel here, we have tried to weaken them to no avail. So if their power continues to grow and the Empire deem them as a threat to be dealt with before they return to the Empire, what's to stop them invading the North in order to deal with them?

And who's going to be in the firing line? Us. The Northern tribes. Northmen controlled by Lomo and his minions.

We are not after a war, we are after safety and stability. To know that we can band together as one if and when an invasion happens.

Nala

[Kail]

There is always a choice. The cost that comes with that choice is the cost of freedom. We chose to give our lives fighting that evil, they could have done the same.

You do make a good point though. We should have said we need to unite against any threat that may come to our lands not just the Empire. Thank you for pointing that out.

Gunndrick Ironside

[Sharperoc]

Gunndrick, I feel you may misunderstand us slightly here.

Whilst I know it has been said that the spiritual mastery prayer is the best way to make friends, both you and I know that is a lie. True friends are made through shared experiences and trust.

I'm not here by coercion, slavery or control. I'm here of my own free will, wishing to express my freedom to worship without fear. This is truly the greatest devotion we can offer up, our choice. The worship of a slave is no worship at all, the love from the coerced is empty and without value.

We have no wish to make slaves of The North, only friends. True friends.

So we're here, extending our trust and hoping you might do the same.

No invasion is coming! We have to keep trying to deal with SoFE and that stupid monkey.

When they cause trouble I’ll be there, the knights will be there, I could even drag ex chancellor Theo along to help.



They have given lives and spent time and effort. It was a choice that had to be made, it happened. It wasn’t an attack.

I was there when mistress Hylos gave her life to destroy part of SoFE power, I can’t remember exactly what because I generally don’t follow wants happening and just dispel things.

They have bled and died, they didn’t want to move it but had to.

Snow

[Kail]

Snow are you saying you think it is unwise for us to unite or do you support us in this?

I have already agreed that I should have said any threat rather than just the Empire. Although I still consider them a threat due to the shear power they have at their disposal.

Gunndrick Ironside

[Dave]

We should unite. Glad it isn’t just against the Empire, I’ve wanted untie the north for years but it’s Hard work for one elf!

They have the power, more worried of the demonic armies and undead that always appear!

Nala, Gunndrick Ironside, others of the Northern tribes,

I make haste to Cairn's Deep to join the defences against any who invade our lands.

Greeting to you all,

I for one would welcome unity through moot, discussion and common purpose.

You should know my history, your should have heard the tales of Glory brought by me and those of my City that have always welcomed and supported the tribes.

It is too easy to say "Them and Us" when we talk of The Tribes and Empire, I say that it is not so clear. There is much to benefit all if we all work together.

Yes, unite, if that is the will of the Chieftains and those who would advise them, but please remember that as there is strength in what makes each of us different as much as the strength gained in what joins us together.

I will be at Tar Edroul if I am needed / wanted.


Galdor of Alguss

[TimDallen]

Greetings Nala and all those who gather here,
I and the dwarves of my home, the Hearthlending, will stand with you against any that try to take our lands and subject them to their will.
My home is your home and can be a place to rally from or defend from as need decrees.
Ritual defences will be raised against any that come against us in our mountain depths or upon the snowy peaks above.

Bad men are still bad men, Prowl will not make friends with the bad men.

If the will of Summer's Warmth is to Unite, Prowl will listen.

Until then Prowl will hunt and fight the Evil in the North or wherever it threatens the Lady's light whenever he leaves the steps of the Hall.

Prowl.

[Fionamullin]

For crying out loud can we all stop trying to kill each other!
Another fight is not going to make this right.
Can we not just take a breath and see what happens?
Please?

Always your friend, welcome back

[Orlock]

Aye up, you may not know this but I have associated myself with your aims for quite a while now and I have been watching your hard work from afar... I must say though that all this talk of fighting the Empire is a little worrying and I hope you are pulling me beard !!!

Dagda Earthsunder

[Kail]

We are very specifically not saying we want to fight the Empire. We have no interest what so ever in attacking their lands or anyone else's lands. We are mearly talking about uniting in defence. Recent events have been worrying so we thought it best to prepair.

I hope this has cleared things up.
