Rael mobilises for Dark Elf war

[Dezza]

After the recent attack on Rangley, Rael authorities have come to suspect they rest on the brink of an invasion by dark elves.



While initial reports indicated that a small very powerful force that included one dwarf, a human that matches a description of a well known mercenary known as Steel and a dark elf attacked the large village of Rangley, authorities now realise it was a precurser to a far larger preparation for invasion of Rael.



Rael investigators are assure the attacks were not the works of the Green Dragon Cult and have witnesses that indicate this was not the case and verify the participation of certain individuals in the attack on Rangley.



Slowly but surely all borders in Rael and being closed down by a huge show of strength by the ruler of the kingdom. Its not long before people are jumping at shadows and the suspected Dark Elven invasion to come.



Orders are issued for the seisure of any and all dark elves found within Rael lands.



Meanwhile on the plains south of Prantz an impressive army starts to gather, all manner of units begin to stage, from elite heavy infantry, to pikemen, light cavalry, eingeers, heavy artillery as well as large groups of monks seen moving amongst the dwarven components of the armies.



By this stage the army continues to build day by day with no obvious direction for their final destination other than perhaps a show of strength against the supposed Dark Elf attacks to come.



A statement issued from the Ruler of Prantz himself indicates that Rael is deeply saddened by the loss of life amongst the people of his nation and personally sends his sympathies to those who have lost loved ones in the attacks on Rangley. Rael has promised as much aid as is needed to see those people given some security and solace in their time of need. In the same statement he has declared that regretably the world is not always a peaceful place as much as hewishes it to be. In defence of his nation and in defence of the people who look to him for leadership and protection he has been forced to issue orders to some of his army to secure the borders in preparation for a dark elf invasion.

A dwarven female climbs to the top of the brow of one  of the hills marking an edge to the Prantzian plains. A small gasp escapes her lips as the arrayed forces on the flat lands below comes into view.

She stands watching, almost mesmerised, as the tiny figures move about the landscape. Plumes of dust rise into the air as yet another contingent of soldiers makes their arrival.

Finally she draws herself away, her brow knotted in thought and worry.

Somewhere in Trelania, Ni'haer overhears of the report and curses heavily in Dark Elven. He goes off to write a letter in his rage.

That blood-drunk halfbreed fool will answer for this nuisance!

Within a week another statement is issued by Rael through one of his Generals. The invitation reads:

By Order of the most Benevolent General and Lord, Rael, Loyal Protector of the people of Rael. A proclamation is hereby issued, that any and all Dark Elves found within the boundaries of Rael will be captured and imprisoned pending trial for subversive activities as spies for the impending invasion. Dark Elves found to be guilty of such a crime as decreed by the Rofireinite courts of Prantz will be hanged until they are dead.

The Kingdom of Rael hereby offers any man or woman who seeks to support Rael in its struggle to keep its kingdom safe from the evil menace of the Dark Elves the opportunity to serve in the armies of Rael. Successful applicants can find billets with the army forming on the southern fields outside Prantz.

*Farros scratches his head at the announcement*

But I thought the deep dwarves were like, the little kid brothers of dark elves. Going to stickball games together, killing Paladins together, eating babies together, walking side by side, hand in hand squinting at the sunlight, sneering at the townfolk, kicking puppies for sport. Milara and Rael were like what, Best Friends Forever during the Blood Wars? They even had the matching half-heart necklaces and commemorative tatoos!

A regal looking elf with silver hair wanders Prantz openly twirling a razor-sharp chisel. To the guards who challenge her for lawbreaking(*), she shows them her stamp, indicating it is a registered crafting implement, properly licensed and taxed, rather than a weapon. And she gives droll thanks to Lord Rael, during sunup and sundown, as is the law.

Pausing at the sign, she stares at it for quite some time, violet eyes keenly considering its every word and the graffiti which adorns it.

"I wonder what your game is..." she says almost inaudibly while no one listens. "You are no idiot. So your spies must know that Steel is no Ca'Duzite; if any hold his collar, it is the Queen."

"So. This is likely one of two things. Either you have heard rumblings of dark alliances, and want to... "interview" Steel.... or you are looking for a pretext to justify invading Audira."

"Neither will go well for you. Like a rusty weapon, your troops are worn and dull from disuse. In your domicile, you've become positively... domesticated."

She smirks. "Not catch a cold. Good one."

//Please do not assume that such things are possible, Rael has far more resources at his disposal than any player currently in game realises. I would hate to have to spoil your fun by telling you that you are spotted, trialled and hanged within 24 hours and unable to play your character ever again.

Yous deep dwarves couldni catch a cold.

*She then looks around and uses the shadows to make her way out of the city.*

//Consider the gentle nudge taken in the spirit it was intended and she will not be seen anywhere near any Rael concern for quite some time.

A week later and the first Dark Elves are brought to Justice.

All'ra's on the outskirts of Rangley have discovered a poisoness nest of plotting Dark Elves. The Six heavily armed Dark Elves were captured and taken to the prison in Rangley where on presentation of evidence the local Rofireinite magistrate declared them to indeed be inciting treason.

The six dark elves bodies now hang from the wall of the prison to serve as a reminder to others who dare to harm Raels people, the fate that they will find for them as well.

*Alarik addresses the issue during a sermon in Llast*

This is what happens good people, when one casts off Toran's Protecting Light and turns their back on Him. See now, the destructors of His most holy Citadel as they fall prey to the dark agents of evil. They snuffed out the light and for that they find darkness. Yae, and that they would so too cast out the Voraxians under penalty of death, what should they expect? Who will fight the dark elves now? The Sulterioites? They trade in slaves with them, share borders with them, plot with them in the endless reaches of The Deep. Without the unified might of Toran and Vorax to protect them, the citizens of Prantz be doomed by both Rael's Tyranny and Caduz's malice and Vierdra'ira's trickery!
