     There was a conclave of the northern kingdoms. Riders are enroute to Draakheeros, Aesgaard and Kalaach bearing a proclamation signed by the emissaries of The Masovian Brotherhood of the Sword, the Grand Duchy of Voystroya and the Dwaffenreich and bearing the royal seals of these three great Kingdoms of the North.

Has it truly been eons since the start of life? - The Great Smith, the Gargyln, the gods of men and Elves, forging and molding our races...What have we done with this gift - what have we done with this life - The real question is .. What will we do with it - Now? The lives of men are so short in comparison with the other great races of the land - Yet, the only memories we can truly gather together are the ones written and forged in Bloodshed.  Back and forth our races have pushed - some resisted, others did not - still, the land could hold all with no malice if that was so willed, and will do so again. 

Yet where do we find ourselves now? The evils of the underworld of Nastrond have been unleashed upon our Dwaffen bretheren, yet they still hold - Nastrond now mass against men in the lands of the west.  The Servitors of the Gargyln have infused their witch craft in the lives of men - not Dwaffen kind, not Draakheeri - No, but the weak minds of men!

Yet what now? - they move against Dwaffen, Draakheeri and men!! - bewitching those of weak minds, but not those of strong spirit!  They now stand poised in the West, South and East, as well as dominate the islands of the great sea in the south.  The machinations of Draakheeri continue to play tricks with the minds of men to the lands in the east and south, yet they can see their future is clouded and it is no longer on the horizon for them - It is here, now! - it is their time to choose! The free peoples of Helcar are no longer free - shrouded in the mist of fate - they too, blinded by the witchery of Gar - we must release them!  The minds of the men of Jormundar are befuddled - confused or worse, blinded by ambition, hear how their souls are tortured by the witchery of the Gargyln, yet they allow themselves to be lead by this dark, immoral race.  Our duty is to remove the veil that blinds, to restore true sight to the blind - to restore the splendar of freedom, to release the souls, tortured by foul deeds, to hear the bell of liberty ring once again across all the islands of the Sea.  It is the duty of free men to stand in the way, to resist, to stand firm against the machinations of the Draakheeri and the witchery of the Gargyln, to free all races of the evils of the underworld, and to remove the treat of this alliance once and for all.  The free peoples of Masovia and Voystroya take their stand, firm to the end, and declare their intent to free all repressed races across this world. To free the minds and souls of all races no matter where they are - To never declare surrendar until all enemies are vanquished or subdued.

In times past, men and Dwaffen have risen up and fought together against oppression - But also, they have against each other - A pitiful sight - the smashed sword and rent axe, together, mingling with the Blood of man and Dwarf alike.  What of our time? - What will men and Dwaffen kind say in ages future about our time?
