Message from the North

Historical Details

Háttér

In the 250th year of the Fourth Era, the ruler of the Kingdom of Vasanna, King Marcellus X., recruited an army to claim the ore and mineral-rich mountain regions of the Narmiron elves. According to their traditions, the tribes living there did not search for the treasures of the depths of the earth, did not cultivate mines in the mountains, and refrained from economic cooperation. Although the southern state was not generally characterized by the "What is not given with nicely, take by force" approach, after unsuccessful negotiation attempts, the Royal Council decided in favor of the campaign.

Történelem

The preparation for occupying the Valley took more than ten years. Those who served in the army had to be trained in the guerilla warfare that the Elves like to use, for team movement in the mountains, they had to make siege machines that could be moved even in difficult terrain, and of course, only a few of the Humans had magical powers that would have been suitable for warfare.
On the morning after the final parade, when the army was supposed to set out, his majesty was found dead in his tent. His bodyguards did not wake up until days later, and none could say what exactly happened. On the back side of the tent, the king's last words were written in his handwriting, with blood - presumably his own: no one, never, dare to offend the Narmiron elves again.

Nyilvános Reakció

After the assassination, pacifist and racist propaganda intensified in the kingdom. As a result of the former, part of the recruited army was disbanded, and others were transferred to other camps, or town guard and border guard duty. As a result of the latter, the rise of the country's most feared terrorist organization, the Black Arrow, began. Fortunately, those who feared Nehalenor's vengeance were ultimately disappointed: the Narmiron elves were content to deliver the message.
It is certain that since then there has not been a ruler on the continent who dared to initiate a conflict with the Elves living among the mountains.
