Call to Arms for the Isle!

Ghorn · Post by **Ghorn** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 9:11 pm

Be greeted, peoples of this isle!

I, King Ghorn, call tha isles forces to arms to stand together an' to fight again against Stephen Rothman, tha shame of our isle! We hav' to raise together to end that problem for us all!

We once fought together against him, when he was tha despote of Trollsbane. Now ther' is again need for it.

Stephen Rothman is a thorn in tha isles flesh! He once got deafeated by tha isle. But has he learned from it? NO! He even became worse!

Now he is banned from Silverbrand, They Grey Rose, an' the academy.

An' soon from Trollsbane too. Since Stephen Rothman an' his knighthood attacked today Me an' Thurbert inside tha townwalls of Trollsbane when we wer' on our way to leave tha town! With that he broked tha rules of tha town in full disrespect of tha town. He said than he will be banned, he didn't cared!

An' his men dared to command me at tha shrine of Malachin, on Grey Rose land, to follow them as a prisoner. Luckily i was able to escape. With that they broke tha laws of tha Grey Rose, in full disrespect of tha holy place an' tha Knighthood. They wanted to imprison a warrior seekin' shelter in Malachins Temple!

It is time that tha isle raises, an' works together to defeat Stephen Rothman an' everyone supportin' him for once an' all!!

Follow tha call of Silverbrand, write down ya name as a leader when ya will support this war against that bastard! Let us unite an' smash Rothman once an' for all!

King Ghorn

What does this possibly have to do with the island? I told you we will leave you alone and even pay you if you leave us alone. Then you captured Amroth and even then I said just to release him and we will let it all go, but you continue to persist.

This is a stupid war over greed that should never have been fought if you would have just accepted Arameh's offer at peace, to return all ores stolen and to pay you coin and to never return to Silverbrand. Why you did not accept it I will never know, but you just jailed Arameh at peace talks.

We will get back our squire and then we will leave you alone again, to give you one last chance at peace.

Forget it Rothman.

Ya plagued this isle long enough with ya foul present.

This time it can giv' just one answer. Ya death. This time ya will fall, an' never come back again.

Ya attacked first, ya entered our land as a banned one, ya stolen our goods, ya attacked me on my land an' catched ya. An' ya think som' coin will be enough? It is ya head that will be now tha payment for peace!

I offered ya in Trollsbane to solve that all with a duel between ya, an' me. Just we two! Ya refused! Because ya knew ya ar' weaker, because ya ar' a damn coward! I said we duel, if ya win, Amroth will be free. But no, ya an' ya 5 bastards of unhonorable knights attacked from all sides.

An' doin' so ya sided with Richard Martins, a member of tha temple, a criminal.

Rothman. This days will be ya last days on this isle. That is a promise. Ya will die now for all ya crimes an' wron' doings ya did since ya came onto our isle.

King Ghorn

Garett Gwenour · Post by **Garett Gwenour** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 9:37 pm

I did not accept your duel because you offered Arameh peace talks and jailed him when he went. Why would I think you would duel me fairly, the last time we fought fair, as you write, was as you and another dwarf attacked me at once, how can I possibly think you know what fair is? Stop writing nonsense, I just spoke with the Earl of the Rose and he understands and accepts that we will free our squire so long as we dont pillage the city, which we never wanted to do.

Now come to your city so we may release Amroth and not have to fight anymore.

Stephen Rothman

From here on out, the first person to strike another will be banned immediately, whether it be dwarf or knight. The fact that people fight in a populated town threatens the danger of those within. Any knight or dwarf which doesn't wish to fight will have no problem with this policy.

Ghorn · Post by **Ghorn** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 11:05 pm

Too late, king Fooser. Stephen raised today on your land the weapon against us while we were retreating, not attackin' once. As did all his pages an' knights.
He broke ya law, an' attacked tha ruler of an other town, on ya land.
Silverbrand wishes to see justice be done to them. 'As we would do justice to a criminal attackin' ya on our land,

*a parchment writing in very jagged writing is pinned on the wall*

So it has happened once more. A war between Stephen Rothman and the dwarves. Something tells me the dwarves in their follish hospitality invited Rothman to the home once more after they previously declared war on him and because him him Trolls Bane. Then acting as Rothman does he did something to once more disgrace the most honorable dwarves. Leave the isle out of this and fix your own mistakes and perhaps this time you shall learn from them.

Fighting within Trollsbane is not the knighthood's intention, at least not mine. If any members of the knighthood were the first to agress within town I will see no inconvenients for them to be banned from town.

I would also ask that all knighthood members keeps this conflict out of Trollsbane.

writes after a breif return to town then is gone quickly

The dwarves let the temple grow, never helped trollsbane when the temple members attacked, now they ask you all to risk your lives for what? They have kidnapped a man, after being the offer of being repaid for a bunch of rocks. Now ghorn even after being beaten and fleeing still drops in to write his slander. I say where was he when you needed him, when the temple roamed Trollsbane freely.

The dwarves ousted stephen to weaken trollsbane, and fed off their plight to gain power, never once returning to save trollsbane from the likes of the temple until the temple had enough power to turn the island into a living hell, they fought for themselves and no other.

A short orc with a fair size stomach approaches the board with his walking staff inhand. He drops his large pack on his back and writes a hasty note

Did da stumpie helb wuth da attack before Negros. Nub dey stay in da town smashing da town piggie fur food whens alls oders ran outside da city walls tu smash da demon raising da dead. Dey only comes tu helb smash Negros cus Negros threaten tu enslave da whole island.

To the one that does not state their name-

War is not between Stephen Rothman and The Dwarves, much less The Dwarves of Silverbrand. Please do not write such rubbish statements for the public eye. The people of this isle should not have a shade cast over their eyes by ones such as yourself.

It was Stephen Rothman who let the temple raise. Who let them walk in Troll's Bane freely and even prepare their foul rituals here. Who turned action taken against them into criminal acts because of his own idiocy and greed for power. Who reached his claws from Troll's Bane over the entire island to get even more power. Invading Silverbrand, trying to undermine guilds and governments. Rothman, warmonger, traitor of the citizens of Troll's Bane, murderer of unborn children. Nobody shall blame the dwarves who have always been the ones to state the obvious.
Blame the fools and thugs who follow him and call themselves "knights". None of them have any more honor then the worst cutthroat of Gynk. Or they just don't want too see the truth, which is just as worse. Rothman is the scourge of Gobaith, greedy for attention and power beyond all judgement.
It is not before he falls, and his gang with him, that Gobaith will be at peace again.

One cannot denie the dwarves are partly at fault here. This 'war' shall end when they release Amroth, and so they hold some burden of this, although I cannot denie that the Knights of Kallahorn too have acted somewhat rashly, so blame rests with us too.

The problem I have is the bloodlust of Ghorn, he doesn't seem to want to have peace with the knighthood until he has Stephen's head on a stick. Give it a rest, this is over a mining infringement. You know when I was in Silverbrand and I said 'how can you justify jailing Arameh over lost ore', it was said that he was banned from Silverbrand and a wanted criminal, and I had to think about that for a bit. In trying to put myself in your shoes, I can't help remembering his ban was the result of you declaring war on trollsbane long ago. His actions were in response to a threat on trollsbane, and that was when the knighthood had affiliations with trollsbane.

As for jailing Amroth, who hasn't been in Silverbrand at all, and so I've been told was minding his buisness lumbjacking when apprehended. That is considered an act against the whole knighthood as far as I'm concerned. I truely hope peace is attained in the meetings to come, less we have to stoop to their level and start taking unarmed hostiges of Silverbrand.

If Armoth was taken wrongly. I suggest a 'Call to Arms' against Ghorn. How many wars has he started on this island? I say we take him down and try to finally live in peace.

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 6:45 pm

I doubt that would aid anything, since the "Knighthood" has been the aggressors against multiple other groups, the magic academy and Trollsbane just two of them. Unless you wish all other groups to "taken down" as well so that you fools can finally "live in peace".

Drex Thaendrak · Post by **Drex Thaendrak** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 6:49 pm

The common factor of all these wars the dwarves did seems to be Rothman and Kallahorn.
Hm...
Think about it.

The knighthood hasnt agressed the academy by purpose and did not agress Trollsbane at all.

You lashed out at a leader of the academy, and then tried to overthrow the leader of Trollsbane when I tried to be fair to two friends. To which the people politely responded by saying they didn't want you around anymore.

Garett Gwenour · Post by **Garett Gwenour** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 6:54 pm

Fooser, when have we ever harmed Trolls Bane? I remember bleeding everytime against hordes of undead when you weren't there. Please rethink what your saying because we are fighting when you can't, if you continue to insult us you will find yourself alone. You do not want that, stop lieing about what we do or you will have no one to lean on when another threat arises, and you know fully well that the other lands do nothing until a major battles arises, they are not there for minor threats like Nalzaxx.

Fooser you lie, we did not 'lash out' Djironnyma, it was a mistake from a NEWLY SWORN page, stop blaming the whole knighthood you know as well as I that it isnt right. We did not try to overthrow Trollsbane, Stephen called a vote (wasnt even knighthood), and if you lost it, knighthood would NOT have taken Trollsbane anyway.

Aramehs words sound like an excuse.
Anyhow, it is true that the knights have let the temple grow, and some of them are said to even have been temple members. Stephen Rothman even had an alliance agreement with the temple. So, working against the temple was either a repay of old own foolishness, or a clever disguise.
Nothing seemed to have changed withtheir agression against the dwarves though.

Samantha Meryadeles · Post by **Samantha Meryadeles** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 8:33 pm

The agressions between both sides were calmed down and they have left them alone each other. Until Stephen Rothman started to mine illegaly in their mine, stealing their rawmaterials.
Dwarves are peoples for whom their property, their mine and their rawmaterials are very important. Its in their blood. And they hate thiefs, taking what belongs to them.
Stephen Rothman knew about their laws. He knew they wouldn't like it that he mines there. He knew he is banned on their land.
But he still did it, and that provoked the dwarfs. And with that provocation, again violence, hate and agressions between both sides burned up.
It is Stephen Rothmans fault that again this old struggle araised. That again a war is happening. Everything was peacefully, until he started to steal from them. Until he started to treat them again like dirt and without respect.

Yes, the dwarfes reacted very agressive and short tempered. But by Zhambra...they ARE Dwarfs! You should know and await that, and behave in a way that it fits with their character. But you ignored it all, showed no respect for them. And commited a crime which stroke the dwarves hard enough to hate you again.

And it is understandable that a simply apologize, which they wont beliefe you after what you did all to them in the past, won't work this time.

Peoples say it is the dwarfes fault, they called for war again, they are bloodthirsty. But peoples forget too easily what Rothman did everything wrong so that this could happen. You should look more on the reasons for the hate, the root, and not the consequences.

I am dissapointed to see those calling themself Knighthood protect Stephen Rothmans thievery. That those calling themself knight, and holder of chivalry, help and support a man who is the reason for all, whose fault it is that there is again war. Who is a criminal.
It is a shame for that knighthood, and they lost their face with it.

Damien what on Illarion are you talking about? With all your power I have never seen you try to do anything about the temple which is all but vanquished now thanks to our many battles, and a great deal to Stephens imprissonment of Meriel and Vorg, and his swaying of Gort. I personally fought many times to aquire blackstones to rescue prisoners from their temple.

As for any of us being temple members... you better watch your tongue, Arameh had the blackstone forced upon him protecting Trollsbane, perhaps you didn't know that, closing yourself off in Vanima like a dwarf of Silverbrand.

While I respect your power I will not allow you to slander my friends.

Also, I feel Stephens attack on the dwarves while he was Governor (after the dwarves had declared war and we were defending multiple attacks on the city) was justified as he knew we could handle the temple, but not both the temple and the dwarves. The dwarves had publically stated they would not help fight against the temple but that they would attack Trollsbane.

As for the illegal mining, I am told that Silverbrand wouldn't greet the knights at the gates so they did it to get their attention and immediately offered the ore to them. This doesn't sound like steeling to me, but Stephen appologized anyways and offered compensation. The knights were there because Ghorn was writting slander all over our walls of accusations with no proof that one of the knights had been steeling from the mines before.

Mark Strongarm

ps. If anyone wants to mine for me, I will pay you 3 copper for each coal or iron ore.
