The Knighthood of Kallahorn

Lady Meryadeles,

I will glady pitch in money to repay any damage to your inn. It matters not who destroyed it, just that it was harmed during the attack. I ask kindly that both parties chip in to helping pay off the damage. No matter whose fault it is both groups were there and should both help for any harm they did to a peaceful inn.

How much will it cost to repair the inn?

Samantha, without a doubt you will of course be compensated for what the rampaging golem had done to your establishment.

I can only express my stunned disbelief at the writting of Fooser, King of Trolls Bane. I had thought we were friends? Had I not been beside you against Dravian and Nalzaxx when there were no others? Were we not beside each other throughout that horrible war? Why would you try to say we are anything but honorable comrades.

It is you whom has commited unhonorable acts Fooser, it is as if your still smoking sibanic everyday all over again. Unrightfully jailing Ssafar, having me attack a dwarf because on your word you said he was aiding the temple when you rightfully that he did nothing, encouraging me to beat people becuase you demand to see a fight. I had let all these slide because all the people in question were not harmed too bad, but this goes too far. You show yourself to be malignant and not harmless. Thus, after your words today which go no where towards the lands of peace but instead you stick your voice where it is not required to encourage war, I will incite a vote among the citizens of Trolls Bane, if they wish you to remain their King. How the vote ends will be how I proceed.

As to Silverbrand, holster your blades and your cry to arms. At worse what we did was wait in your halls for you to give us audience, I even sent letters to Thurbert telling him we were there. You ignored us and so Arameh and myself began to dig into your mine knowing you would not ignore us forever. When Ghorn did arrive we told him why were there and then promptly said we would give back the ores, Ghorn said naturally he would not give any sort of honorable duel and would never take back his accusations and told us to unarm and to go to his jail peacefully. We tried to flee, unfortunately Ghorn tried to stop us with his axe and he was felled swiftly and by the blade of Malachin, Arameh and myself were able to get out of Silverbrand and into Trolls bane where the golem, ghorn and some others followed.

We have gotten away and are not in a vulnerable position. We want no war, we want no more death, nor more insults. We went to Silverbrand for peace, and I see where we went wrong, I can admit we got caught up in the heat of the moment. By the gods I Swear we never intended to get into a conflict with King Gemfist nor his golem, I swear our intentions were to follow the laws of our Knighthood and keep the peace.

I pray that the dwarves of Silverbrand will not go to war over some ores, but if they do, Malachin will not let the Knighthood break apart.

Lord Stephen,

I promise you that the Knighthood will never die. For the Sword of Paladins has been reclaimed! I hold Sylathens sword in my posession. May the knighthood never die!

Yes, we did fight alongside eachother against the temple. I remember quite vividly how upset and annoyed I was everytime I personally saw, or heard of, a temple member walking into town when I asked them not to. I wouldve hoped you remembered this feeling as well?

I have been rethinking about the issue of Silverbrand, I believe both sides have done wrong in certain aspects, I also do not think that something which started as such a small thing should go as far as a full scale war. This is why I suggest to let all of it die, I will also give back all the ores I have mined into Silverbrand if the dwarves promise they will not war with us unless we come within their borders. I would, of course, ensure the knighthood members will not come into Silverbrand at all anymore, at the condition of severe punishments. I think this is a fair offer I give to Silverbrand, that would remove many problems and spare us bloodsheds. Please think about it before answering.
--------------------------------
I would as well welcome Lithinnian Maldovinnicus to our ranks, as a new page of our knighthood.

Amroth has proven himself to be far more then adept in combat, even to myself. He has also passed every lecture I have given him and studied on the gods and their different personalities. He is risen to the rank of squire and is now beginning his lessons to be a Knight.

And again you lie. And when Arameh has any honour leftz, he will admit that you write wrong here.

When i arrived, i said we wont give thiefes a honorful duel. concerning the fact you were caught stealing that is no surprise. Also i said never anything about accusations. Another lie. And you haven't tried to flee, you have attacked me directly. You could have fleed, running to the stairs, but no. You attacked me immediately, trying to kill me. I attacked first after you attacked me. And there was no offer to give back what you have stolen. Again a lie of you.

Your lies become worse and worse.

And Arameh, if you really hold honour, you will admitt that it is not true what he wrotes there!

Your offer sounds reasonable.

Garett Gwenour · Post by **Garett Gwenour** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 10:25 pm

Knighthood, something is wrong, Arameh has not responded to my letters, he wrote me earlier saying he was going to meet with Thurbert in Silverbrand and he has not yet come back. What we thought would happen is happening, you all know where to meet with me now to get Arameh to safety.

Tha fate of ya Knighthood is sealed!

Today ya did a failur' when attackin' Silverbrand to free Arameh. Ya made a failure when attackin' our guest, Djironnyma!

I made ya an offer, i offered ya to let Arameh free in six weeks, an' he shall be free of any guilt. He shall be again a free man in our eyes, an' evene vanish from tha list of banned peoples.
I allowed ya to visit Arameh, ya promised not to use force when doin' so. I was so nice to allow ya that.

But than ya idiot of knights attacked tha mage an' tha town. An' they died. But than ya attacked me while, even with ya man runnin' through my town an' fightin', i made no threatenin' gesture against ya! Ya attacked me. An' ya lost! I beaten ya, Stephen. I beaten ya in a fair duel. An' later I beaten ya again when ya attacked me a second time.
Ya ran like a rabbit when i was huntin' ya over tha isle, but ya felt to my blade.
Ya peoples felt to our blades!

Accept ya defeat! Surrender an' giv' up! An' Silverbrand shall treat ya fair, an' we will promise that we won't punish anyone else than ya. Ya punishment shall happen for ya whole knighthood. Ya men shall be free an' unharmed!

Refuse, an' tha powers of tha isle shall again crush ya for ya crimes!

If the knighthood calls to war, as stated on the front page of this parchment, so be it.

We will defend ourselves proudly against this injust actions your provocations led us into.

We did not start this war, you started it and mind you,
there will be no mercy to those participating in hostilities against Silverbrand this time.

Garett Gwenour · Post by **Garett Gwenour** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 7:11 pm

You started the war when you jailed Arameh when he visited you for peace talks. If you refrain from attacking us, we will leave you alone, as I expressed earlier. But if you pursue us, we will use every weapon in our arsenal to ensure our survival.

Garett Gwenour · Post by **Garett Gwenour** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 9:43 pm

All Knighthood members and allies head to the dwarven halls. We will need to lay siege to the city it appears until they give up and release Amroth.

Stephen Rothman

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 3:23 am

Every members of the knighthood are to leave Silverbrand and not come back until I say so.

The academy is charged to make a meeting of negociations within one month time, to gather Silverbrand, Kallahorn and the academy (preferably 2 members of each part to come).

Until then the siege agaisnt Silverbrand will be stopped temporarily but will be started again if any harm is done to Squire Amroth or any mistreatings.

The reason why I joined in on the hunt several days ago was because I hoped to end this matter without bloodshed. Unfortunately it is difficult to talk as long as everyone is fighting or running. The situation got out of hand, and that was never my intention. I am a man of diplomacy, not bloodshed. And I still hope that things can be solved peacefully.
Yet your behaviour was not free of fault either. From your own saying you were believing the golem to be a thread not only for you, but everyone else around too. Yet you ran right into town, tried to hide inside others property and made no attempt at taking care of the publics safety.
Also, when we met after the fight, and I was still recovering from Rothman nearly striking me down two of your men had nothing better to do then to talk who would get the right of striking me down. This is a disgrace for anyone calling himself knight. You say that you follow the path of honor, yet some of you seam to prefer the path of blood. I can only give you the advice to either teach your members the right path or reconsider who is worthy of bearing the title of knight.

May Dhavin's spirit guide your ways.

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 6:26 pm

Adano Eles. if any of my members striked you it was because you did so first, and after the fight we were three surrounding you, if we really wanted to strike you down we would have. The only person who talked about striking you down was Stephen, that dosent make 2 people I fear, please tell the truth.

King Ghorn asked us to kill you on sight. I refused. I said I would give you the chance to lay down weapons so this could be solved pacefully. And as far as I remember it was you, Arameh, who drew his blade when Rothman told you to run. I just entered the fight to drive you back from the dwarves. Then it got out of hand. That was not my intention. However, it was Rothman who charged after me when we were alone and I had to retreat, severly wounded. The only reason why I escaped was the fact that I prefer lighter armor and am a better runner then him. And yes, you are right. It was him who talked about striking me down, and I credit you for not doing it. However, it is Rothman who this was all about, and he did not shine with honor this day. You want to be a man of honor, you should really consider siding with this man any longer.

Adano, you attacked me with a golem and several dwarves and you chased me down. What did you think was going to happen when I am a better warrior and we are alone and your still following me?

Stephen Rothman

Adano Eles · Post by **Adano Eles** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 7:02 pm

I am no match to you, and you knew it.
A man of honor would have used this knowledge not to brutally strike down and hunt even a beaten opponent but to avoid a fight you knew you would win anyway. What could I have done to you? If I had left to get the dwarves, you would have been gone. If I had stayed all I were able to do would be talk.
This is what the Khana Len I follow teaches. This is what honor means. And I am sad that I have to teach that lesson to someone who calls himself a knight.

Adano Eles

Garett Gwenour · Post by **Garett Gwenour** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 7:12 pm

Adano, you were hitting me while I was running away, you were chasing me down to kill me. What are you talking about? Your still attacking but you don't have protection so of course I will chase you away from me so you can't fight me and stall me so that golem could have hunted me down. Now you have no more words to say, respect our Knighthood's parchment as we respect yours and we may write letters discussing our differing points of view.

Stephen Rothman

Adano Eles · Post by **Adano Eles** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 7:39 pm

The only reason why I wrote here at all was because Arameh asked the Grey Rose for an excuse. So I put down that things did not work out as I wanted them to and that I am sorry for that. Yet I am a man who looks at a situation from all sides, an so I had to put down my view on what wrong on both sides.
Putting that clear I will now leave this parchment alone.

The negociations have been successful and Amroth Surion is to be released to the soonest possible. Both Stephen and Ghorn will have a trial agaisnt each others, details will be posted by the academy about such things. The knighthood is to keep out of Silverbrand until further notice or the members can receive severe punishments.

This is Amroth. I have been released by King Ghorn. I am unharmed. A few missing items. Nothing that I can't get back in a trip to Greenbriar.

Ghorn mentioned that a deal was made for my release, and that to ask Stephen. I hope that nothing bad has come as the price of my release.

I offer a public challenge to Matholamew Dunsinane. Yesterday he insulted me by saying I have no honor. Then when I challenged him to a duel for his honor. He replied by saying that violence is not the way and refused to duel me in a duel of honor. I called him a coward. I want you, Arameh, to have him abide by the laws you set. Rule number 7 I believe of the Knights of Kallahorn. If he still refuses my duel then I will publicly brand him as a coward. I await your reply.

Sincerely,
Alderman Foraker of Greenbriar

Garett Gwenour · Post by **Garett Gwenour** » Thu Nov 02, 2006 6:50 pm

It is a Knight who must abide by the seventh rule. If you insult a squire or page being taught by a Knight and challenge them to a duel, it is the Knight who you insult, (as you would be saying he is teaching a coward), and who you would need to duel. I suggest you don't try to duel Arameh however and perhaps try to find a reasonable way to end this problem with Page Mattholamew.

Matholamew Dunsinane · Thu Nov 02, 2006 7:17 pm

I did not mean to insult his honor. We were talking as gentlemen should, and he threatened me. I asked where the honor is in threatening one whom is so much weaker. As for denying the duel, it was at the request of a lady. My mate Quin is a friend of Foraker's, and does not wish to see us fight. Is chivalry not the basis of honor?

Stephen Rothman declined a duel of honor when we met in Trollsbane. I demanded a duel, an' he declined an' than attacked together with 5 others, on Trollsbane land.

Where is' ther' the honor ya ar' speakin' about in ya papers? An' wasn't that a broke of his own rules? I would like to know so.
