The War of Ice and Sun

Letter from Fingolfin Noldorin (Message sent to the Rulers of Beluaterra) Rulers of Beluaterra,

I write you concerning serious matters. Thalmarkin has lived on the top of the continent for a long time, and we have seen many wars and invasions come and pass, being at the very heart of them several times. We have lived side by side with neighbours who are our allies and friends, but also with those we could have done without. If history has taught us anything, it is that the world needs strong and powerfull realms ready to act and take measures when the need is dire. History has taught us also that Melhed is none of these.

Too long have they sat on the riches of their ancestors and let times of war and invasion pass by without moving a finger. They are not worthy of their ancestors legacy, and they are not fit to rule their lands. We have all seen this for a long time, and the last few months have merely been the tip of the mountain that has made us prepare for war.

Thalmarkin intend to recreate a realm of warriors, upon the ashes of their forefathers. Ar Agyr died when abandonded by its allies, but I plan to once more let the realm thrive upon the riches that has been put into no use since their death.

Upon these words, Thalmarkin declare war upon the realm of Melhed. We have no goal in its total destruction, merely teaching them what war really is and distributing some of their regions to make them usefull for the world once more. Melhed has already been on the verge of attacking us twice the last year or so but backed out. Now there is no backing out to be had any longer.

Regards, Fingolfin Noldorin King of Thalmarkin Royal of Thalmarkin

Letter from Yeux Serpentis (Message sent to the Rulers of Beluaterra)

Let's see what your "realm of warriors" can do, King Fingolfin. I'm sure I can teach you a lesson or two. Melhed will fight back theses bored thugs with honor to defend our borders. And be sure: if you began to lose, I will claim every region your realm received from our old glory until your friends of Old Grehk decide to save your people from the wolves. I don't care to burn Beluaterra to the ground to kick you back to the northern shores. Your claims for war is just to weak to be considered, then we will see what will happen in the battlefields.
