Empires of Ashes

Vulka: again who

"....never mind"

Vulka: eh my jarl probably know em

*With no reports of an enemy army the Cymriacs assault the village, slaughtering any who retaliate and stealing anything of worth before setting it ablaze, leaving the residents to watch their homes burn*

Hana: Maybe. He's been to thengul years ago

Vulka: i know jarl Hadra visted your cuntry a few times....tho are family has had shitty relations with the shogunet for generations.

Hana: The shogunate.....are reasonable all things considered

Vulka:.....my fiftieth grand father jarl Valguf sacked your capitol and burned most of it to the ground claiming the shoguns sword as his debt. hense its name

"......oh"

*With the village having been sacked as then razed the Cymriacs move on, following the scouts report of another satellite village nearby*

Vulk: yeah

"....Well I've admittedly never even seen the capitol"

Grandparents notes said it was pretty before he burned it down.

"Doesnt surprise me"

Vulka: he took a tree of all things back

"A...tree?"

OOC: Bonsai tree

Vulka: yes its growing outside out great hall. quite well actually. every fall it drops pink pettles everwhere.
(sakura)

"oh Sakura flowers?"

Vulka: thsts what its called?

"yea, my favorite"

Vulka: i can see why.

she smiles

Vulka: so out of cureosity what made you decide to take the place of the captuves?

"I....couldnt stand Idly by and let so many innocents be haled away"

Vulka: howd ya know they were innocent?

"they were civilian caste"

*half hour to an hour later another village is ransacked by Cymriacs with another plume of smoke marking their path*

Vulka: what does tha prove?

"In our land, the civilan caste are off limits to warriors during a battle"

Vulka: well that explains why they gave up without a fight

Hana: We warriors may only harm warriors. We see doing otherwise as wrong, and it is illegal

*With his scout still reporting a lack of enemy movement the Cymriacs move on toward a third farming village*

Vulka: to the thengul fighting is second nature as is sailing. every child regardless of gender learns how to defend themselves

"Well....the thing is the civilians are a different people to us. They descend from the people of the voldamian plains, we warriors are the descendants of the hill clans"

Vulka: thengul has a mix if every cluture and we get along fine with each other.

"Oh?"

Vulka: thengul do marry thralls so cultures get passed down, and we do trade heavily.

"oh, I see"

Vulka: yep,

"Well....that's surprising"

Vulka: Your gona love a feast then

"Feast?"

Vulka: a small Thengeri feast has 8 courses

"...I dont think...I can eat..."

Vulka: you dont have to eat every course

"I guess"

Vulka: tho with this being a moot and all 13 jarls attending its going to be a big feast

"...oh...all 13?"

Vulka: well all but the old badger. but hes busy
