The Surrender of Elthana
“Sir! Sir! A elf has appeared outside the wall, what shall we do?” yells a Krakon down at General Gorkern from the recently rebuilt watchtower at Fort Thana.
“Is he alone? Are there any elven soldiers with him?” asks General Gorkern as he stares up at the krakon.
“He appears to be alone and he is running at a fast pa-wait, he is outside the gate.” answers the krakon as he stares down the wall.
“Open the gates, I want to see what he has to say!” General Gorkern walks at a quick pace to the gate, leaving a trail of claw prints on the dirt floor. When the gate finally open, the elven dressed in an unbuttoned shirt and light trousers is out of breath. He is only able to mutter “Message” before retrieving a letter from a pouch slung over his shoulder and handing it to General Gorkern. Reading it slowly, it said...
To Kingdom of Torfas and Bahapore Generals
War is over, We, Elthanian Elves representative, Declare our lost, we don't have enough power and resource to prolonged this war, so with this letter we are surrendering our land to your nation, Kingdom of Torfas, and Bahapore without further conflict with the following conditions:
- Give us four weeks to bury our dead families, treat our wounded citizen and prepare for a mass exodus.
- Provide us with safe passage through Bahapore, so that we can make our way to Bohaddon.
- Release the prisoners taken and let them return to their families.
If you did not agree with the conditions we give, so be it, our last fight will be your last decision, we are ready to fight until we lost our life.
“Sir! Two krakons want entrance to the camp.” Yells the krakon again from the watchtower.
“Let them in!” Yells General Gorkern at krakon, as he turns around to address the elven messenger, he finds that the messenger has disappeared.
“General Gorkern, I have a message from General Wuen” says the first messenger.
“I have a message from General Opear sir.” says the second messenger. They both dig into their messenger pouch and pull out a letter stamped with the sign of the Krakon Army. Reading the first message slowly.
Dear General Gorkern,
General Opear and I have already discussed the message, seeing as you would be the last one to receive the message, we have decided to let you represent us in the meeting at the capital. Including the original surrender terms, we would also like you to include the following.
-All families that are allowed to stay behind if they wish to, we will guarantee a job for all elves affected by the war .
-All families shall be paid for the death of love ones.
-The Grand Alliance shall pay for all damage done.
-We would also ask for the surrender of naval forces as to keep them out of the hands of Bohaddon.
-All elves moving to Bohaddon are given sea access instead of land.
Please address these terms at the meeting. If you have read this message, please discard the other message as it was a failsafe for if this one was lost.
After reading it carefully, he yells at a passing krakon, “Get my horse and my top generals, I must ride to the Elthana Capital right away.
The Meeting at Elthana
General Gorkern sits down at the table in the Elthana Palace. The city had been quiet when he had arrived at the gate. The ride had shown that the elves of the nation had really been preparing for war. They had passed many trenches and many elves hid or ran when General Gorkern and his men got near. The city was no more friendly, the city was beautiful with its marble buildings and statues but it seemed deserted as many of the residents hid when General rode down the streets to the palace. The table was currently seated by a number of High Orcs generals from Torfas and King Ela, along with his wife, Queen Arae.
“You all know why we are here. The council has decide to send me as their representative as they decided the war is already lost.” Announces King Ela as he stood up.
“Yes, we know. The generals of the high orcs have decided to accept your terms.” says a muscle bounded orc at the opposite end of the table.
Cough a little, General Gorkern stands up. “Excuse me King Ela, I am here as the Bahapore representative and we have a number of terms that we would like to discuss.”
“Please speak.” says King Ela.
Taking out a scroll, General Gorkern begins reading, “Dear King Ela, We would like you to discuss the following surrender terms.
-All families that are allowed to stay behind if they wish to, we will guarantee a job for all elves affected by the war .
-All families shall be paid for the death of love ones.
-The Grand Alliance shall pay for all damage done.
-We would also ask for the surrender of naval forces as to keep them out of the hands of Bohaddon.
-All elves moving to Bohaddon are given sea access instead of land.” Sitting down again, General Gorkern sees King Ela quietly whispering to Queen Arae.
“General Gorkern, we will agree to all of your terms except for two. We refuse to surrender our naval forces as we need them to transport our people across the sea.” says King Ela.
“You must surrender your naval forces! If they get in the hands of Bohaddon, it give them enough strength to kill thousands of Krakons and Horeans!”
“Why should we care! Your nation killed thousands of my men!” Yells King Ela angrily at General Gorkern. “My people don’t trust your ships, they would rather travel on ships built by their own hands.”
“Fine, we shall deal with the ordeal but we ask that all ships are disarmed and searched for weapons.” says General Gorkern.
Discussing it with his wife, King Ela turns around again and says “We agree to these terms. Is that all?”
“Yes, we agree to the terms King Ela.” says General Gorkern. The king and queen get up and quietly leave, the orcs leave soon after them, and General Gorkern is the last one to leave.
“How did the meeting go sir?” asks one of his men as General Gorkern exits the palace.
“It went well, lets leave now.”
The Emerging Alliance
Councilmen Geward was sitting at his desk writing a message. The council and king of the krakons had approved of this message.
Dear Nations of the sea,
The leaders of Bahapore have decided to ask for your opinion on a number of plans and issues. With the nation of Elthana out of the way, we have a perfect opportunity to begin a golden age, where we are united in an alliance. The Grand Alliance. This is the first message relating to the Grand Alliance, please voice your opinions on the falling issues.
-With the recent black ships appearing on our northern waters, we have decided to put a vote forth on creating a grand navy. The navy would take a year to to build and we would be in need of lumber but it would prepare us for the possible invasion of the hidden north.
-The second issue is to explore the recents events in Echen, information on the black ships could possibly be hidden there and it would help us greatly. We must also help the people of our land, no matter what race. Our navy is already preparing, please send any naval forces if you would like to help
-The third issue is related to the first issue. We have decided that Amplesh would be a valuable trade partner for lumber but their aggressive choices have prevented this. We would like to fund a Bahapore run project to help the nation of Vanguar with their war against them. Please send troops to the former capital of Elthana.
That is all, sincerely councilmen Geward of Bahapore.
After finishing the message, councilmen geward leaves to hand the message to a messenger.
