Wilhelm von Saxon and Jutarian Krestarii sat at the small table in Wilhelm’s room. They were drinking stout Saxon ale and eating wurst and rye bread with cheese spread over it. They were chatting about some of the things they have been doing in their daily lives. Jutarian talking about how he was helping his father keeping the Slaver Families in check and Wilhelm counting coins and overseeing merchants.

“You know Jutarian I have something serious to tell you. Father is seeking to marry Johanna with you. I suspect he is discussing it with Asharian now.” Wilhelm told Jutarian. Jutarian blushed and just tried to drink his beer. “And don’t try to tell me you wouldn’t like that. You two have been in love since you were 14.”

“Perhaps you are right brother. But, enough about me and my mediocre love life, how has your boyfriend been?” Jutarian asked while spreading cheese over rye bread.

“Ah, Gilbert has been quite well. He excels at combat and is at the top of his physical condition. Something I am very thankful for.” Wilhelm joked.

“Good. Gilbert is a good man. Anyways, I simply must hunt in your forests tomorrow. There is nothing like hunting wolves in the forests of the Saxon province.” With that Jutarian stood up and excused himself to go speak with Johanna. “I will see you later tonight, brother.”

“Don’t say a word to Johanna about what Father is doing, bastard!” Wilhelm shouted as Jutarian walked to the door.
 
Azeratii City

Anastanii Krestarii stood on the wall overlooking the city. It was getting dark, and soon she would have to return to the palace. While technally her mother was regent, the duties tended to fall on her. Anastanii was not particually good at scheming, but she had learned to be diplomatic from her father. She unfortuntily did not often have the curage to stand up to some of the demands people brought to her. She also lacked the ability to focus for long periods of time. These traits did not really bode well for her, but fortunitly her family was really suppotive, and her fathers advisors could easely help her. She also had recived some letters of support from her brother. The two were the closest of the family, despite Jutarian's vices. She had also recived some letters from her friend, Johanna von Saxon. While the two girls were not as close as their brothers were, they were still very close, expesaly since Johanna was one of the few people who actually had the patience for Anastanii's failings. Anastanii also knew that Johanna was completely infatuated with her brother, thinking him the perfect man. Anastanii had neither the currage, nor the heart to tell her friend about Jutarian's womenizing habits. She would still be really happy if the two were wed, something her father had mentioned.

Her thinking was disturbed by the arivial of Fritorious Cortorii. Anastanii reviled the man. His family treated their slaves horribly, and further more he for some reason thought himself an equal to the Krestarii. He walked up to Anastanii, but was stopped when her guards stepped foward in front of her, and spoke.
"My dear Anastanii! I bring a message that I would have delivered to your father! I expect you to deliver it to him."
Indemidated by the strenght of Fritorius' voice, she could bairly move. She was fortunitly was spared further humilation by the arivial of the Mayor of Azeratii, Zorasta Vatarian.
"Cortorii, I am insulted by your poor maners. You should be adressin Lady Krestarii as My Lady. Further more, you are a noble benith even me, you have no right to demand Lady Krestarii to do anything. You can give the message to me, and I will see it is delevered to Lord Krestarii."
"Well, please let Lord Krestarii know, that if he supports any of this Anti-Slavery proposals at all, the Slaver Familes will be, um, despleased, and consiquences shall fallow. I shall now take my leave. Good day Lord-Mayor. My Lady."
Cortorii mocenly bowed, and left.
Anastanii mutered, "Thank you Mayor Vatarian. I don't know what I would have done without you."
Ruffling the Krestarii's hair, Zorasta replied, "I am sure you would have been fine. I am worried about that threat. I will get the message to your father. Furthermore, I will let him know that he needs to find friends in the Golden City, as their is no more to be found here."
 
Listening to this debate was getting tiring, should slavery be allowed or banned, should the Arch-Mage lose his power. All the nobles of the Assembly where fighting over who was right and had the power to decide the future. It was at this point Ra'Gru rose up from his chair to address the Assembly.

Lords and Ladies this debate over who has the right to whos people will not be sorted soon, so now i will make my bid in the conversation aswell. I hereby invite every Orcish tribe to my city of Goi'Orka, every Orc is welcome with open arms and i hope many of the Orcs in the kingdoms will accept this invitation.

I also call for 4000 men of my army to march towards the Golden City and meet up with me, while i wait on my men to show up i will be traveling to Azeratii City on a visit to discuss with the slavers in the city.

Krestarii rose, and adressed Ra'Gru in a slightly hostle tone,
Why are marching with an army to my city? Further more, I strongly suggest you negotate with me, and not the Slaver Families!

No need to be afraid my lord, i simply wish to discuss buisness with the local merchants, if you wish your regent can be present at the talks.

I agree to this request on the fallowing conditions. You will leave your army far from my city and only approch with a small guard. You will also be escorted by the city guard at all times. Finally, both my daughter, as my main negotator and de facto regent, my mayor, and my Guard Commander will be present at the meeting. Are these terms agreeable?

It is.
 
Seeing the recent developments regarding the Golden City,I would like to ask every dwarf who has made deals with the Urist family or is part of it to come back to our province.You will be welcomed back with a hug and a warm smile.
 
((I will be creating some NPCs soon as we move forward in the game))

((Update coming later today :)))

OCC: Do we have to send orders by then?
 
I think we don't send orders in this game.
 
((yes! If you have any orders for your army, fire them my way. Any diplomatic missions are done in the thread, but war orders are Pmed to me. Update coming this evening, so if you have orders, get them to me.

Make sure you all have a diplomatic mission set up! You will lose out on the chance of gaining prestige if you don't!

Oh! One more thing... if you guys could put a brief outline of your missions, proposals and votes as well as quests you will be performing in bold on the bottom of your most recent post, it will make things easier for me when adding up prestige. Thaaanks! :) ))))
