    I thank you for your opinions. They serve to clarify a great mystery for me. It does, however, leave several things unknown. Why would the throne attack a faction that had just sworn fealty to them? This is not clear to me still. I begin to suspect they were mislead by the a third party to further it's own goals.

    Sirs, if I could have a piece of information to help in my investigation; what was the reason for your attack on the Sausage Guild? I begin to suspect that both sides of this conflict are being played against each other by a third party to further it's goals.

    The Orcs are clearly not living up to their promises when we agreed to grant them refuge in our city.

    I am continuing my investigation into the reasons behind this war, and I begin to suspect both sides have been played against each other by a third to further it's goals.

    ''I should clarify, that the transcripts are from closed meeting in the Commerce Hall. We haven’t publicly stated our support at that time, as I have fully expected for Champions to call a general meeting of the city’s factions to have them confirm their allegiance and propose a plan to bring order and prosperity to the city. We would have bent our knees and that's that. A civilized a peaceful approach, that would have seen the city unified and strong in one month.''

    ''However, the reasons for the attack are still unexplained. If we have acted against James before – forcing his exile and serving Lord Wallen… maybe it could have been explained thinking us enemies. But we did no such thing. And Champions entrusted Sausage Guild with control of their territories, for a rent. So they clearly didn’t think Sausage Guild would betray or act against them.''

    ''It’s possible that there’s some shadow play. There are many, who would wish us burn and Shattered Lands to remain Shattered – Warlords, Orks, Illaryum, Verdan or maybe the Desoui’s secret police, which I understand is still at large and possesses strongest espionage network in the city.''

    ''My own theory is that the attack was Warden’s plot. By removing the Guilds as alternative source of the King’s support, they have made Champions utterly dependent on their own military forces and orkish mercenaries, they employ. A puppet on the throne to rule through.''

    We're stuck in a single, half built town in the middle of the shattered lands. The only reason we're alive is because the Warden's allowed it. No offense, but we would rather survive that our progeny might continue the fight, rather than go down now and achieve nothing.

    So this is the surrender conditions, that Wardens give - live only to serve them. I'm glad Sausage Guild didn't take them. I realize that you weren't in a condition to refuse and I find this situation... well, that essentially amount to slavery despicable, yet such is the Warden’s Sav Altulus. I shall bother you no more.

    Ram confirms, what I suspected. The surrender Wardens given them amounts to slavery. Alive, as long as they serve. The Guilds have our pride. Perhaps with enough blood, you will force us into chains... I myself will die a free man.

    The specifics of our surrender were never really worked out, other than leaving the city and not directly interfering with the Wardens or their allies, but when a person has forcibly removed you to a new place and shown they can destroy you without even really putting out effort, you do what they ask when they ask.

    Are you acting in the war as a mercenary or as a representative of the Sausage Guild? I had been under the assumption that you were leaving the City. If you're paying old debts, the situation is a bit different from if you intend to return fully.

    Things should have cleared up in the Bunkers by now, if you wish to continue your studies. I've spent some effort securing the passage of Ram food caravans into the town and the mysterious bandits seem to have mostly disappeared as they joined the mercenary armies the SGA brought to town and then died alongside those armies in the battle of Gateway Milanus. So hopefully the shadow of famine is about to pass.

    Do you have any opposition to taking over the administration of the whole Blacksgage district once we remove the traitors from the area? We need to reach a state of stability again quickly, or we may be threatened by outside forces despite the precautions and fortifications I've constructed.

    The Champions of Sovereignty:

    To the ESGE: [5]
    Spoiler
    Show
    The SGA have always been a threat to the kingdom. They have always been merchants first and foremost, caring about their own profits, their own power, their own success.

    They've been trying to play all the political powers in Sav Altulas for their own benefit since the Sorceress died. The Sausage Guild checked my divine lineage, or did they? Why bother actually checking when you don't recognise the divine sovereignty of kings? A wave of the hands, a few words, and I think I have a chance to get the SGA on my side.

    The SGA never did anything for the throne, but they certainly did a lot of damage to it. Their actions towards the wardens, one of my closest allies have been near ceaseless. Insulting their reputation with very move they make, trying to tear away their allies, attacking them in the streets. They would attack men sworn to the king in the streets!

    The Ram Revolution festers in the city for nearly a year, spreading their false, destructive rhetoric, and the SGA do nothing. Besides establishing a causal friendship, engaging in projects together, pretending to respect them. House Wallen, nearly as bad if not worse, a democrat tearing the nobility apart from within is treated better. When they announce their baseless accusation against us, the SGA refuses to take a side, for a while at least. As soon as it looks like House Wallen has won, they fight to appoint him Lord Protector. My greatest enemy, ruler of the city! I'm not sure how anyone could take a more clear stance against my rule.

    We return to the city, the SGA have done nothing about the flawed government they appointed. Just supporting it, building up their power, strengthening their relations with the throne. I wipe away the Ram, and House Wallen, but now I'm left with their supporters. These people who have done nothing but damage my rise to the throne, who would pretend to support me until another pretender tries to take the throne, who would switch sides the moment they think they'll win. We can not move forward as a nation with these sort of people watching our backs.

    We hit the Sausage Guild first because they were the strongest of the Sovereign Guilds. The best to strike while we had the element of surprise.

    Ah, that is good to hear. The purpose was to preempt their inevitable betrayal- a wise move, I suppose, though it is unfortunate that it would involve the destruction of Bloodhaven Hospital, which has raised standards for medicine in the whole city- a necessary sacrifice I suppose. You see, they had attempted to convince me that you had been mislead by the Wardens so they could take Gilded, expanding their territory; that the SGA had in fact sworn fealty to you the month before and the Wardens had prevented the message from reaching you. Indeed, they had a number of incidents where mistakes on your part (their words, not mine) were explainable by the Wardens' manipulation. I now see what a lie this is! The Wardens could not possibly be using their position to gain power for themselves, that would be entirely unreasonable.

    If only those merchant guilds would just have known to stay out of politics this would not be necessary. This starvation, the medicine shortage, and the impending economic collapse (due to the destruction of this city's merchant class) would have been entirely avoidable. Alas, traitors cannot be spared, no matter their intentions or the consequences of their just punishment.

    Your Majesty, I may not agree with all of your decisions, but I will stand by them. I may not trust your other allies (The Wren, the Wardens), but I will work towards your ends with them.

    However, there is one point with which I have quarrel. The territory being scoured by foreign marauders may be controlled by a traitor, but there are citizens of the city residing there, most of whom have no affiliation with Bloodhaven Hospital. This is a needless destruction of their livelihoods which happens to inconvenience one of your enemies, as collateral, perhaps. If we don't step in soon, the whole district could be worse off than Dogma was. It is like leveling a city to kill one man. It is effective, but the means are in no way justified by the ends. You may forbid me from aiding the citizens of this city, but that is the one command I will never obey, sir.

    I propose an alternative. Through the mages I have under my command, I can drive everyone not loyal to you in that district out of the city. This will eliminate the foreign raiders and remove any traitors who might reside in the district.

    I'm afraid my mages will be kept busy for the coming months, however I am indeed planning to take over administration of Blacksgage. The EBSA is now defunct, and it appears Bloodhaven will soon be eliminated, so someone must manage this area beside your absurdly large army- a military occupation of an educational and residential area is hardly objectionable, but is not ideal in this situation.

    As for the thread of foreign forces, we are already threatened. The raiders in Triumphage Untima, when they find no ancient magical artifacts, will take to raiding the rest of the city- yet you are attacking hospitals and merchants? -justified, as they are traitors, yet it does not seem the largest threat in the city.

    1. Here comes the new warlord, same as the old warlord. It's the guys who used to be Rhodermer's men, who are now working for the Champions and the Wardens, who are unhappy, though a lot of them too are looking at it more philosophically.

    2. No. They are mercenary VIPs who were attracted by the action, unrelated to anyone else in the mob.

    Sinclair Pews is a ballikineticist and duelist. He uses magic to adjust the trajectory of his pistol balls, fire unloaded guns, things like that.

    Ah, you misunderstand my intentions! You have my deepest respect, with your influence and your deeds. You are a scoundrel (and I mean that in the best possible terms) and for that I admire you. As a friend of a friend you have my respect.

    Yet at the same time, in no world do you have my trust. You are a king of thieves, duplicitous by your nature. It should be no disrespect that I do not trust you- would you trust someone you know to be the fastest hand in the city around your valuables, yet at the same time would you not admire their skill?

    You are one of the few people in the city who has my respect, and not my trust, and it takes a great deal of prowess to achieve that balance. Most, in your position, would use their abilities in such a way as to lose my respect in them, yet you have used your dishonest skills for honest goals. For this I respect you.

    And yet, I notice you have been reading my mail- and you don't see why I do not trust you?

    I am still the Guild Master if that is what you are asking. Unfortunately thanks to the depredations of certain parties the Guild finds itself in need of additional funding. So I find myself taking certain mercenary contracts.

    Is the Guild returning to the city. Not in the near future. I however am staying here. The influx of mercenaries provides many opportunities for contract work which while distracting from the Guild's true purpose is necessary at this time.

    The reasoning you present for attacking Sausage Guilds sounds like that of the Mad Desoui. Seeing enemies at every shadow and killing both political opponents and innocents on a whim. At this point I’m going to assume that some ancient elvish curse afflicts anybody, who tries to rule this city with paranoia and dementia.

    I can answer to these accusations with a single quote:


    "I am not enemies of the Sausage Guild and the Merchants. They have done good in the city, upheld the law. They've shown me more loyalty than almost anyone in the city. Certainly more loyalty than I deserve. I can only thank them for their hard work, and hope your lies do not damage the integrity of this city further."
    Do you remember saying it James? Right before you left the city, after that RSA business. Quite a change in the attitude in such short time... Are you really James? It’s almost like some shadow doppelganger has replaced the good and fair King, with one that dances to Wardens strings and commits atrocity after atrocity. Does the real King languishes in the Warden's Gatehouse Prison, with an iron mask hiding his face or have they done something to your mind?

    I notice how its the Wardens, that offer ESGE Blackgage District, not Champions. Yet another proof that it’s they, who run the city. I might have respected them a little, if they at least ruled directly and not through puppets. I certainly respect you less, Lord Founder, for playing along with this charade of a monarchy. There are so few honest men in the city. Can’t say I am one, and now I know that you aren't either.

    I’ve worked with King James, before he allied with Wardens - he was young and inexperienced, but he cared about the people. That King James wouldn’t have left Gregoria to be plundered, let the city starve and be wrecked by foreign ‘’adventurers’’ or attacked people without just cause. These decisions look much more like product of Warden’s calculating minds.

    Build your Kingdom on fear, violence and compromises.
    Ally with those you’d use and who’d use you in return.
    It’s the efficient way, the easy way, the one that works.
    A warlord kingdom, without honor, trust and soul of Talidor.

    Dear Sirs,

    As you know I’m currently in conflict with Wardens and as such pay attention to their messages. Thus to my attention came letters, where they offered to give control of Blackgage District to ESGE and ESGE’s reply where they called your organization ‘’defunct’’ and thus they’d be ready to assume control.

    Unless your organization plans to dissolve itself and you’ve informed ESGE about it or Wardens negotiated with you for transfer of control of your territories, I'm concerned of what such things may imply for your future, with faction after faction being attacked by Wardens, half of the times with barely an explanation.

    Laurier

    First Issue

    Lord Laurier. You remember I once did a minor favor for you with [Bread & Circuses Trait]. All I asked at the time, was for protection against my enemies. You have said that only madmen would attack a hospital. Yet I was attacked, though in an indirect manner. The hordes of looters and vagabonds in the Triphage Untima are causing chaos and material damage to people under my protection.

    It took my men one afternoon to confirm, that the miscreants were lured to the city with rumors, that it was a free for all, cutthroat paradise, where anybody can get rich by slashing nearest richman's throat. Rumors that originated with Champions, Wren, Wardens and Tregon. Well, Orks of Tragon... Hardly can expect better of them. But others are supposed to be city's rulers and protectors.

    I ask you Lord Laurier, can you support me in condemning their vile act? You can see how dangerous a precedent like this is. One you start rumors going, how soon there'll be talk of Merdallan Treasure?

    I should also mention, that ESGE is apparently planning to take over Triphage Untima with a horde of their Mages. Last time that number of spellcasters were on the field, Dogma was reduced to rubble.

    Second Issue

    The Mercantile Guild is finding itself in a position, when it'll be driven out of the Stacks. Would it be possible to come up with an arrangement, by which they may use Lomb Circle as a base of their operations - with appropriate compensation provided to your grace, of course. Their [Merchant Contacts] for example can be quite useful for your business interests.

    Building something like Gaspar... That would be A LOT of Wealth; without taking our profit into account. That's depending on what you want, of course.

    I think we could have a more private conversation, don't you think?

    OOC: We can fix the details next turn by PM. I'll tell you the exact numbers there.

    All right. Well, we can offer more money than anyone else in this city, if you would wish to offer your mercenary services.

    What are your rates? We need more firepower to drive Bloodhaven, Silversmiths and Mercantile Guild out of Gilded once and for all, end the financial chaos in the city and begin rebuilding the district.

    For [2 Wel] I won't take contracts to attack you without giving you the opportunity to outbid your enemy.

    For [5 Wel] I will guard an area.

    The starting rate to hire my services to conduct an attack is [10 Wel]. This may be modified if the person you are attacking has already bought the notification contract.

    Prices and type of payment are subject to negotiation beyond these basic rates.

    My prices are high, but we both know I'm the best warrior in the Shattered Lands. You'll get your money's worth if you hire me.

    Just to clarify here: we will not be able to pay for a project such as this all in one go. We will ask our allies for some credit, which will likely be substantial and pay a good part of the initial costs, but the rest will have to be paid in rates. I hope that is not a problem.

    You did not, however in my investigation, I came to the conclusion that the Wardens are manipulating the Champions for their own gain. I couldn't tell the king that myself (you see what good that did you?) so I presented it as part of your argument.

    Well, of course. When we speak further; I'll tell you the base cost. That's the cost of materials (OOC:The stat point cost of building the airfield).

    It won't be a problem if you invest materials and money for some turns; it only means it will take time to complete the field.

    On top of that, there will be a small fee for our services. Something humble; and far cheaper than it would cost you to build the entire thing fom scratch.
