Tales of Tamar

Greetings Ziona from the people of Lord Matador.

My armies report that you are settling on land left to me by Father McKenzie. This is seen as an act of war against us, and we urge you to stop your assault on our land.

If this is a mistake on your part, please contact Lord Matador immediately so that we may resolve this matter peacefully.

If you would like to see a map of land inherited by myself and other Lords on Yggrasil, it has been posted here in the forum for all to see under "declarations" by Lord Charras.

If your assault does not stop immediately, we will assume that you wish to declare war on us and we will take the appropriate actions against you.

Lord Matador.

werte lords,
solltet ihr der sprache des jeweils andern nicht mächtig sein, so biete ich euch die dienste eines meiner diplomaten an, der für euch übersetzen soll. er spricht die gemeinsprache und die sprache der händler (englisch und deutsch).

dear lords,
i'd like to send you a translator if you cannot understand the language of the other lord. he speaks the common tongue and the tongue of the merchants (english/german).

Greetings Lord Matador,

It is our belief that "Lord" Ziona is what we in Babylon call a 'spook', in other words a lord who is not a true lord. We on Endlómë also have one, Kurmina, who appeared at the departure of Lord Toral.

It is believed that these are peasant leaders who are now taking advantage of the lawlessness left over in these abandoned lands to stake their own claim for local power.

As a simple rule of thumb: if some lord you have never heard of before seems to have suddenly laid claim on much land which should not belong to him/her, and you can see no sign of their "conquering" armies, you are dealing with one of these peasant revolts. Best thing to do is put them down at the first opportunity by annexing the land that should belong to you and then doing the same thing to any towns in those areas.

Lord Jinx and Captain Garibaldi,

Firstly, we would like to extend our gratitude to Lord Jinx for his very kind offer to lend his translators to us during a time of negotiation. As it transpires, we will not be needing that service this time because Ziona has turned out to be nothing more than a bunch of rouge barbarians and criminals, with whom the only common language is spoken with a sword. However, it may well be that in the future we could find ourselves in a similar position with a real Lord so again our thanks to you Lord Jinx.

Captain Garibaldi,
That is extremely useful information, thankyou very much. Let it be known that criminals and rouge leaders will not be tolerated in my lands, and I will strive to rid Tamar of these dangerous people.

Matador.
