Zarach

It is said that Zarach once studied Magic in Narrath... Some think that the Northlands brought these problems onto themselves.
Fafhnir

Fafhnir is said to be less than one eighteenth the man his father was. It is said that he kills people once a year for sport in a 'Behead-fest.'

События

Introduction

The Northlands have fallen to the Haedric Barbarians, now united after 1000 years of internal squabbling, by the Barbarian Lord Zarach, Master of the Winds, a former student of the Magic University at Narrath. Alessandr, Lord of Castle Highpeak has decided that the Northlands must be returned to their former glory and that Zarach must be stopped before he invades the Lowlands.
Intro-2

For those ends, Alessandr must gather allies in the South, but first he must convince his future allies of his worthiness to lead the alliance. Alessandr knows not how he will accomplish this, but he knows that for Castle Highpeak to survive, the Barbarians must be crushed.
Good News!

Good news! Spies have reported that Zarach's monsters have begun to quarrel amongst themselves over the new land's spoils and that, before Zarach can assault Highpeak, he must quell the disturbance.
Quillich

Quillich, a Narrathian Ambassador-Mage advises Alessandr on the situation, bowing low before the Lord. My Lord. He begins. Yes, my friend? Alessandr asks, tapping his fingers impatiently on the throne. My Lord, Quillich petitions, I ask that you amke all haste to smash through Tytan's Pass and clear the Titans so that you may receive the services of the remaining forces of my nation. I shalt think on it. Alessandr gives a brief nod to Quillich, who backs out from the audience chamber, praising Alessandr's wisdom.
Spies!

Good news! Spies bring reports of Northlanders within their land still holding out against the Barbarians. Alessandr nods soberly as he hears the news. Quillich jumps for joy, Do you know what this means! He shouts, all smiles. What? Alessandr broods, frowning. Why, the Northlanders can regain their own lands within a few days after Zarach's forces destroy each other. They're trapped. Alessandr mumbles. They're what? Quillich steps forward eagerly, head still bowed. They're trapped. Can't you listen to the words behind the words! Alessandr rises violently and steps down from the throne. What words? Quillich pleads. Pray humor me Lord. I do not understand. Lord Alessandr turns to Quillich. I pity you. He says, then shakes his head. They're trapped. He states. Quillich gasps. Why do you think they do not assault, they cannot leave their fortress and they have no great leader- Mortimer and Alvion are dead Quillich, the Northlands have no great hero. They can do nothing. Quillich blinks, But- he begins. You cannot appreciate the harsh realites of life, Ambassador- there may be a few still holding out, but, if they ever had any chance at all, they would have held the Castles. Lord Alessandr Highpeak shakes his head, rises, then walks briskly away. Quillich raises his head and glumly watches the Lord retreat to his quarters.
Message

A sealed message from Castle Angellika, sent by courier arrived today. I have long awaited his moment, Lord Highpeak. A moment when our two nations amy be joined as one, and, may I add, a moment when our two bodies may finally be joined in holy matrimony. I hope that thou rememberest my gracious offer; because I surely remember thou's promise all those years before. Now, our parents are dead, and an alliance is needed. Dallin cannot protest for he must join either thou or Fafhnir... Dallin will not join Fafhnir because Fafhnir is a petty chief, an ignoramous, he is not a true Lord- he, the haughty man, has wrecked his once fine nation and let it slide into disrepair. Please, make haste to my holdings at once. I look forward to thou's fine attentions. The message was signed, in illuminated handscript- Lady Angellika
Rep to Mes

A tear dropped down Alessandr's cheek as he read. When finished, he clutched the message to his chest and stared longingly into space. After a few moments he rose, retreated to his quarters and began penning a reply.
Dallin V

Another messenger arrived today, this time borne by a tattered and bruised messenger from Castle Dynnisdale. The messenger passed his message onto Alessandr's Seneschal, Albrecht, then was taken to the Monastary for medical care. In court, Albrecht read the message aloud: To the Grand Lord of Castle Highpeak From the Lowly Lord of Castle Dynnisdale- We seek thou's help before we mayest join thou's alliance against the foul barbarians of the north. A horrid horde off Hobgoblins have seeped out of the Barbaric Cliffs and besieged our Castle. We need your assistance in escaping from their foul grasp. Please send assistance posthaste. -Signed Lord Dallin V
Reply

Alessandr nodded his head and gave orders to Shobay to send a force out to rescue Dynnisdale as soon as possible. Shobay nodded and replied that she would send out a force as soon as it was prudent. After a moment, Alessander asked her where Quillich had been for the past two days. She sniffed and replied in her husky voice, head bowed, He is in his quarters, M'lord. The man had a mental breakdown but two days past. Alessandr frowned and ordered Shobay to fetch his cousin.
Noveno

Yesterday, my slightly troubled cousin, through Marshall Shobay's orders, ordered me to comfort Quillich and perhaps restore some sanity to the broken man, because they had heard of the quality of my diplomatic skills. Oh, perhaps I should introduce muyself, I am Low Lord Noveno Highpeak, cousin to the Lord Alessandr. This is my journal you have been reading. All the earlier information came to me from my cousin and several court rumors that have been inauspiciously passing around the grounds. Now to continue... I arrived in Quillich's quarters at the Castle and was trated to the sight of a blubbering mage. I walked over to attempt to comfort the man, but received no response. Then I tried a tactic; I spoke to Quillich about the Northlands as though they still existed. After a few hours, Quillich ceased blubbering and sat intent, listening to my tales of dealings in his lands during my time as Ambassador there several years bygone. Around midnight, Quillich finally spoke. He said but five words, I want to go home. Then stared pleadingly into my eyes for a moment. After breaking the stare, he weakly raised a hand and waved me out. I hesitated for a moment, but eventually left.
Quillich Returns

Now that Quillich has returned to sanity, he has retaken his position as an Ambassador-Advisor to Alessandr, and I have received, as a reward, a position as Consultant to Quillich. Now, of course, this is not a very good position, but I'm not a Marshall Shobay, or even a Dall in prestige. As a Marshall, Procurator, or Spy, I'd likely be more of a liability than an asset... And, of course, I can't stay at home or become an Advisor, since Alessandr can't trust me not to seize the throne. He's been edgy ever since Balthamael and Grigor tried their coup, and that Lady Anastasia incident couldn't have helped him. But, I have no ambitions, I really do. I care less for position than anything. At heart, I'm a farmer, I really am. I was raised by farmers after Alessandr's father executed mine in the Succession War, but I bear no hard feelings, really.
Wedding After

Lord Alessandr's mood has improved considerably since his wedding to Lady Angellika. One could almost say that hew as happy. After fifteen long years spent waiting for each others company, they have finally married. Their love, a love that could have never been before the Barbarian's attacks because of Dallin's lands separating their two kingdoms. Well, now they have finally succeeded, and this time Dallin can't complain.
Eastland-Help

Today I spoke with Vissier Alabaster, Alessandr's accounts manager. He, after I spent many minutes distracting him from his duties, finally told me some information about how the campaign was progressing. After a few minutes; however, he shooed me away and returned to his desk where he was crafting a plea for assistance against the Haedric Barbarians.from the Eastland Kingdoms,
Shobay

I've been talking with Marshall Shobay and she's told me that she is annoyed that Alessandr has retired from campaigning for a time. She thinks that his honeymoon has gone on long enough during this time of war. Marshall Dall agrees. And I can't say that Alessandr's dalliances are helping Quillich's nerves. Myself, even I'm getting a bit worried about Fafhnir and that garrison separating his lands from Angellika's, or should I now say, Alessandr and Angellika's. What will that garrison do?
Alessandr Returns

Well, Alessandr's finally come to his senses and resumed campaigining. Angellika isn't that pleased about it, since the usual Royal Honeymoon is supposed to last two months, but she understands the need.
Fafhnir

It has been rumored that the reason why Fafhnir has not yet assaulted us is that he is hanging 'traitors' who do not show full support in him. This, in turn, is breeding discontent. Marshall Shobay urges an assault. Lord Alessandr and the Lady say they'll consider i, but hink that it might be best to push into the Northlands while Fafhnir destroys his nation. Marshall Dall sulks about how we will need Fafhnir's fortresses to combat Zarach's seemingly endless supply of forces.
Atrocities

Tales of atrocities drift down dail from the conquered Northlands. Quillich bears it well, but I fear he may soon begin a remission.
Hangings

Marshall Dall just sent word that he had several of the deserters hung as he had ascertained that htye were spies. Alessandr listened to the words glumly. Angellika tried to comfort him.
Head of Fafhnir

After strong fighting, Fafhnir's head now rests on a stick near Alessandr's Camp's entreance. Alessandr wanted it put in front of his tent, but Angellika objected to the stink.
Zzulish

Quillich is feverish with excitement because, just yesterday he received a note from the Northlands informing him that Lord Zzulush, Lady Callais, their children, and his wife, Tenna are all alive and well, hiding in the Barbaric cliffs with some Crusaders and Royal Griffins.
Ez-Nov

Since the first incident, Alessandr has politely stayed away from Ezmerelda and made sure to humor his wife as much as possible. Ezmerelda doesn't mind too much as she has ah, *cough*, taken up with me. When could I ever dream of this day! Me, and a beautiful dark haired, full figured Lady... I'm quite proud of myself.
Ambushed

Well yes, that's true. If Alessandr had been paying more attention, he wouldn't have been ambushed. Ezmerelda is right! With the information that Alessandr had, I would have noticed that attack beforehand, although I wouldn't go as far as she suggests and volunteer on that substance to become a Marshall. But, she is persuasive...
Marshallship

I have hereby, at my fiancee' Ezmerelda's urging, petitioned the Lord about a Marshallship for myself. He said that he would hink about it. It is a great success, is it not? And when, that night, I informed Ezmerelda about it, she brightened up, and well... ah... all in all we had a good night!
Dall

Today, Defensive Marshall Dall quizzed me on strategy. I suppose I passed. Ezmerelda has been coaching me about tactics as well as other things... And I've watched the Marshall's at work for nearly seventy days. I think I know my stuff. Ezmerelda does too. Oh, when I think of her; those eyes... those beautiful green eyes...

Anastasia, upon assuming the throne imediately accused Alessandr of the horrid deed and forced him to flee with his most trusted Marshall's, Dall and Shobay. For years they fought a guerilla war with Anastasia, seeking to cleanse Alessandr of his alleged sins and put him on the throne instead of his ambitious sister. Then in 1196, after Anastasia ordered many alleged 'supporters' of Alessandr put to death, she was overthrown and killed by the people. Alessandr rode in on a wave of popularity, forgiving his two brothers, Balthamael and Grigor for standing against him. Unbeknownst to him, Grigor and Blathamael secretly began to plan a coup. In 1199, through intelligence gathered from Marshall Dall, Alessandr managed to put down his brother's coup, and after a trial, had his brothers hung.

Ah, Alessandr stared after his weeping wife and gestured towards the tent's exit. Oh, go ahead. Ezmerelda winked, green eyes flashing. Comfort her. Ezmeralda sat, then demurely reahced down into her bodice. I'll just busy myself here. She united the top string of the bodice, her ample breasts growing outward as the restraint was lessened. Ah, excuse me. Alessandr tore his eyes away form her excellent figure, then fled after his wife. As for myself, well, I ah, straightened my collar, coughed and approached the Lady. We exchanged introductions. First, she asked about Alessandr's marital status. I told her and she frowned slightly, I thought so, she muttered, then brightened and asked me about MY marital status. I informed her that I was single. She then gently took my hand and leaned over. Perhaps we can get to know each other better. She suggested, smiling benignly.

One Pikeman, a grizzled veteran declares, laying his sword down before the mounted Lord. Fafhnir cannot rule. He has let the realm rot. You are our only hope. Alessandr nods.

There has been no kingdom since Darmoth accidentally set the Legions of Hell free... It was a miracle that the one hundred arch-magi of the land were able to construct a magical barrier around the Legions, preventing their spread. Since then, the Kingdom has fallen into disarray, into hundreds of squabbling lands, each with their own petty Lords and Chieftans, instead of one united land. Alessandr thinks on this and broods

My Father taught me everything there is to know, but I haven't had any use for it, thus, I ceased practicing a year ago... Then I found this man... She beams at Alessandr who smiles back benevolently. And knew that I would never need to fight... But now I WANT to fight. She grabs for one of Dall's spare swords. Shobay rides up behind Dall and slaps him on the back laughing, then exchanges a wink with Angellika. Alessandr's eyes narrow and he frowns slightly, not amused by the breach of protocol. Shobay laughs, then rejoins her column.

The man strides forward and kisses one of Alessandr's rings. Alessandr draws his hand back in slight distaste. The man frowns and coldly regards his new Liege Lord. I have heard that you were more benevolent, and less haughty than Fafhnir... Is this true? The man asks, suspiciously. Of course it is true! Because- Alessandr trails off and frowns.

We need as safe escort back to safe lands- we need but ten or fifteen Pikemen to frighten raiders. Please- we have lost all that we had. You forgot to fall to your knees. Alessandr glares at the supplicants. You must show proper respect for your savior. I think they may be spies. Marshall Dall rides up, sword held high, an evil glint in his eye. No, Alessandr shakes his head. They are but frightened commoners. Marshall Dall eyes the men with suspicion. Oh, please help! The younger of the two implores. We have come to free your city, After we do as such, you may return to your farms. But, bandits still roam! The yougner cries. Take them away. Alessandr orders Dall. Dall salutes, turns and yells an order back to his column. The two supplicants scream in anger. I watch all this with distaste, shaking my head. They only wanted a little help. I mumble. That they did. Ezmerelda sets a comforting hand on my shoulder. I look over at her. She bears a pained expression on her face. She must truly feel my distress at the farmer's rough treatment. Now I know that I must marry her. We are two of a kind. The last people in this land who truly care about the plight of the common farmer, the common man.
