Brothers & Sisters,
I am Teknonomicon, of the Einherjar Clan and I've called this Althing to speak with you on grave matters.
This week, while we slept and went about our lives, the Samurai have made a push in to our lands. They've destroyed homesteads, castles, and families, nearly taking the Capital in the process.
They've been pushed back and are currently being held near Happvad.
Simultaneously, the Samurai and their Wu Lin allies pushed forward in to Knight territory. Nearly conguering the Citadel at Ashfeld.
In one week, our world was nearly destroyed.
This morning, I sent a message to the Knights of Ashfeld offerring truce. If accepted, the Knights will withdraw their armies from Valkenhiem, making no further incursions in to Viking territories until the Samurai menace is destroyed. We, simultaneously, will withdraw from Ashfeld, garrisoning at the island of Helheim.
Together we will exterminate the Samurai menace. We will drive them from these land once and for all.
If the Knights of Ashfeld refuse, we will raid and pillage all of Midgard. We will wage mighty war on the face of all the earth. Our Shamans will make blood sacrifice of their loved ones, and our Valkyries will raise our dead to fight once more.
We've drawn our line in the sand. We will not bend, we will not break. We fight not for money nor fame, for lands nor title, for we will not find that here. Remember always, that we fight, FOR HONOR!
Mein Skol! Dein Skol! Alle Flikka Vakkera Skol!
