To the Town of Troll´s Bane and the Bloodskulls

[Clan of the Axe]

The Clan of the Axe announces hereby:

Word came to our ears that there is a conflict between the town of Troll´s Bane and the Bloodskulls. This conflict has to end. Since ages, the Clan of the Axe is allied to the Bloodskulls, but we also granted the town of Troll´s Bane our protection in times of need. Thus, we have to stay neutral in this conflict, but we dislike the situation of not helping our friends.

There are rumors that the Bloodskulls allied with the Horde. The Horde is the deathliest foe of the Clan of the Axe, we fought serveral times to slay all of the hordian orcs. If our most hated enemy is allied to the Skulls we´re also facing an undesired situation.

It is time for a meeting of the warlords.

[Balak Brightaxe]

Balak returns from a long journey dressed in rags with the dust of long travel still not completely gone. He stumps up to the boards and scans them noting the announcement of the Clan of the Axe!

A reply is neatly tacked up.

Hear hear!

If this comes to blows and those damn bloody greenskins cause trouble I Balak Brightaxe can be counted upon to oppose them greenskins!

[Clan of the Axe]

The Wise council decided the following:

The Clan of the Axe will from now on act in the following manner:

• Orcs of the Horde will be attacked on sight.
• Bloodskull orcs are still not regarded as enemies.
• Anyone who is caught supporting the Horde will be dealt with as if he or she is Horde. That includes Bloodskull orcs, townguard men and even dwarves.
• The Clan will not interfere in fights that only include townguard men and Bloodskulls except if the security of Silverbrand or the lives of innocent people are endangered.
• The Clan of the Axe will not enforce the laws of Troll´s Bane
• Where innocent people are harmed, the Clan of the Axe will strike against the agressor, again including Bloodskulls, townguard men and even dwarves.

Again, we urge the opposing parties to stop this conflict. The Clan of the Axe has choosen its side, our own side. On the other side there is the Horde, the side of the loosers. Who chooses the side of the Horde will be slain.

[Galim]

That is a wise desicion and I give my blessings for them. I will pray for you and the other brave warriors of Silverbrand.

May Irmorom bless and protect the brave warriors of the Clan of Axe and the dwarves of Silverbrand.
May nothing break their armors and may their weapons went never blunt.

Honor and wealth to the mighty dwarves of Silverbrand, the worldsmith greatest work.

Praise Irmorom, praise the king and praise the mighty town of Silverbrand.

Galim
Bishop of Silverbrand

[Kasume]

A topic titled, The Bloodskulls should be apparent to you.

I noticed problems within the Bloodskulls long before anything occured. Let some information be avail to you.
Light shines on much, if the right thought is put forward. And yet perhaps the Clan of the Large Bladed Object should rethink a bit.

Durin walks slowly up to the boards, with bloodstained pants.

You be respected by the orcs of skulls, Warriors respect warriors. Mighty be our Axes.

But if your warriors choose to attack the skulls, we will defend ourselves, and show the reason this respect was earnt in the first place.

The Skulls speak as if they hold some sort of power.
Clan of the Axe should not diddledwaddle.
