War of Dominion

Nieldun spoke to Braveshine first. "It would indeed be ideal for the fleet to be deployed. If the enemy fleet is also divided, we can hold the Strait of Turga and insure that the Valgaardi do not mount a counter-attack on our coasts. We will of course, avoid harassing other ships as we do not need to fight two wars at once."

Nieldun turned to the loyal beings and saluted them by thumping his left fist against his chest. "I am glad to hear it. There will be many foes to crush as the Valgaardi are rather numerous. Rise and we will go to oversee the preparations for the conquest of Valgaard."

With a bit of suddenness, he looked towards a nearby messenger. "On second thought, a temporary alliance with Lord Highmall against the Bastard would be most beneficial. Go and catch his lackey."

You mean, HIS child.

Vestec has adopted Keriss. Since Vakarion is primordial soup.

@Rtron

You can't adopt my child! She's a fully grown adult and she despises you! Besides, Vakarlon isn't quite primordial soup. As I recall, he's the "Ghost in the Machine", a literal Deus ex Machina.

The Cursed are basically the cursed from Dark Souls (minus the GO INSANE IN THE END bit. For some of them at any rate. Some do lose their minds and start eating everything within sight). Ugly and hated, but still sentient.

Reathos was planning on making them mindless to balance. Then. Well. Vestec killed him. IN SELF DEFENSE.

@Rtron

VESTEC. My child will slay you and devour your soul!

"But of course!" Said Nieldun with a smile. "We merely need to negotiate the terms of our support for him. I would like to meet him in person if that would be possible." Nieldun hopped down from his throne. "In fact, if there is no other pressing business to attend to, then I would like to begin preparations to send forth an army and send outriders ahead of us to notify Lord Leighton of our arrival before our army is at his gates."

Nieldun began to pace. "Nasvell, you will be staying and holding down the fort with the counsel of Lord Braveshine. I won't be gone for long but I do believe it is necessary to attend this meeting myself. I know that you will not disappoint me."

Nasvell bowed his head. "I shall not let you down, father. How many soldiers are you taking to Valgaard?"

Nieldun stroked his beard. "The Valgaardians technically have the numerical advantage when united and I highly doubt that anyone will attack Nastrond in my absence so I'll take most of the military. Thirty-thousand spearmen, twenty-two thousand swordsmen, eighteen-thousand archers, nine thousand cavalry and eighteen hundred Guardian Devils. It is a bold move but with a little good fortune, we can put an end to the threat on our southern border once and for all."

Nieldun listened to the messenger's proposal with some interest but it was the council of Lord Braveshine that truly merited his consideration. Lord Highmall may have been offering gold and a tie to his house but with all things considered, Highmall was being overly confident and offering very little for an old enemy to join him. Gold could be plundered from a conquered Vaalgardian city and why tie one's house to someone who had shown hostility for so long? The flattery was nice but Nieldun knew that Highmall would not stand a chance if Nastrond marched to war against him. A united Vaalgard might put up a decent fight but one lord's army against that of a nation? Suicide. Despite this messenger's bluster, Highmall was most likely desperate for Nastrond's support. Unfortunately for him, Nastrond would not be giving him support.

Lord Leighton on the other hand, was certainly worth considering. For starters, he was supported by Lord Bornetall who Nieldun had long respected. Furthermore, Dolgathrasar had once been Nastrondi, long, long, ago. This meant that the cultures of Nastrond and Dolgathrasar were rather similar, but more importantly, it gave Nieldun an idea. If he could work the diplomatic bits just right, he could claim that Dolgathrasar was still rightfully Nastrond's and as such, a claim on the Valgaardian throne by a lord of Dolgathrasar meant that he could justify conquering all of Valgaard for the glory of Nastrond. For a very long time, Valgaard and Nastrond had been the bitterest of rivals. Now, with the civil war resulting from the death of King Dorian, Nastrond had the perfect time to strike. Ideally, Leighton's allegiance could be acquired, but if not, Nieldun planned to conquer Valgaard regardless of whether there were any Valgaardi assisting him.

After all this deliberation, Nieldun spoke to the messenger. "You may inform Lord Highmall that we will not be assisting him. He has shown hostility too long to be suddenly be a friend. Even if he does wish to turn over a new leaf, he neither negotiates from a position of strength nor offers anything worth supporting him for. Tying my house to his only strengthens his house and House Gildedtongue has other options. Gold alone is not sufficient either to forgive the sins of the past and an era of enmity. While I might be willing to execute mercenary work in other circumstances due to the limited wealth in my nation, I will not send my men to fight for Highmall in this case. Goodbye."

Well, good sir! If joining Her Imperial Majesty's Royal Baloch Brigade is your heart's desire, and if you truly wish to march out with us against those infernal Mahometan Patans, then 'tis our pleasure and honour to make your wish a reality. First, howe'er, we have prepared for ye a baptism of fyre.
Go forth, and read the Opening Post; thereafter, go forth and read the second post; thereafter, search for BBeast's summary of the first few IC pages, which should be two or three pages back in the OOC; thereafter, go through the Characters Thread; thereafter read the summaries for all posts in the IC. We can then begin your initiation into our cult.

As that may take a while, feel free to present to us your ideas regarding the character you'd like to create, and we'll proceed to grill you. Though I know LokiLeo will also fry, bake, barbecue, boil, and smoke you. He may even leave a bit raw for his sushi special.
