Greetings Knights.
I am Teknonomicon of the Viking Clan Einherjar. I've made this journey to Ashfeld to speak with you on matters most grave.
This week, while you slept and went about your lives, the Samurai have made a push in to your lands. They've destroyed homesteads, castles, and families, nearly taking your Citadel in the process.
In the North, we too face this menace. The Samurai and their Wu Lin brothers spread across this world like a plague. A plague that must be stopped.
In one week, this plague nearly destroyed our world.
I come with an offer. The Knights of Ashfled will withdraw from Valkenheim. You will focus all of your armies on the samurai war front.
We too, will withdraw from Ashfeld. Your lands will be unmolested, and further, defended from your northern borders, as we too will turn all of our attentions to the eastern menace.
We will march our armies east, destroying their temples and keeps along the way. Finally, we will lay great siege to their Citadel.
We hope to storm that great castle with the Knights of Ashfeld by our side.
The choice is yours.
When I leave these halls, I take my armies to the Samurai front.
May you all live and die FOR HONOR!
