Event Description

Unto Coventry and the so called ‘Heroes’ of Realms,

Your words have been received and they have wounded me greatly.

By my actions I have been bestowed not only the might and power to conquer all kingdoms, but furthermore Reup, the Lord of Corruption, has granted to me the right to rule all realms.

By the words of Sir Robert, in two days we will be at war.

No longer will I idly sit by and wait for the kingdoms of the north to see the errors of their way and realize the best course of action is to swear fealty to the superior might of Sothron.

I will give the people of Coventry one last time to stand aside and kneel. If such a declaration has not been received in two weeks time my rallied troops will march on Coventry and a few days later I promise I will lay claim to your empty throne. We will give no quarter to those that stand against us. Any who wish to join us simply have to swear upon my sword.

So, great ‘heroes’ of the Realms, prepare yourselves for war or kneel and swear fealty.

By the Graces of the Gods,
King Arvitt Garrimaddon XI
Rightful Heir to Sothron and all Realms
