I openly announce that the Barony is open for all allies to help wipe off the dishonour from this continent and create honourable colonies out of Minas ithil! | |||
A realm who is led by a man that cant face the cons of his own actions and that tries to put the blame on the realm who punishes them for wrongdoings that they admited to have done needs to be put to sleep and replaced by honorable nobles that will stand up for whats right. | |||

It didn't take long for the fox-like DeadAngel3 to respond. We recently acquired a copy of the letter he sent out to rulers of the world (which Sordnaz humorously parodied in the above letter), calling for the destruction of the glorious Barony. There is no chance now for peace between us - any who would seek to destroy the viking way must be ''destroyed''! Hail Sordnaz! Hail brothers of Thor! All hail the Horgr! | |||

''I will borrow your words Sordnaz | |||
I openly announce that Minas Ithil is open for all allies to help wipe off the dishonour from this continent and create honourable colonies out of Barony of Makar.'' | |||
I am sure that you are aware that the words are not mine but from one of your own nobles, I only changed the name of the realm to show the irony that Minas Ithil is living by. | |||
DeadAngel3 has confessed that he ALLOWED foreign help in the war, and he also said that he didn't care what they did as he couldn't control them. I warned Minas Ithil about retribution long ago, but I guess they never believed that we would live up to our word. | |||
DeadAngel3 has confessed that he interfered with the 1 vs 1 war, and that he didn't care. | |||
DeadAngel3 did all this in silence, hoping not to get caught. | |||
And now, now DeadAngel3 is blaming the Barony for doing wrong, even after we have shown our intentions have been known for a long time, and our reasons have been verified as just. | |||
I was never out to turn this war around - it is not my war to fight. The timetable given for the Barony in the war is small as the damage Minas Ithil shall receive will not to be devastating, but merely noticeable. | |||
This single battle could have been enough, but instead of being a man and a King, DeadAngel3 called us dishonorable and sought for our destruction. Now I have to think about how to handle such a man! | |||

(February 05)</center> | |||
While on the warpath at the request of our Great Dictator (and at the promise of loot!) the combined forces of the Herr ór Icegate, Sordnaz's Immortals, and the Makarian Horde encountered the armies of Minas Ithil in Elost. As the combined forces of the Barony marched south for their looting raid, they paused in Barad Riel to regroup, where they noticed an Ithilian army of approximately 6000 CS in Elost. Naturally, they could not pass up the opportunity for a fight, and headed out. | |||
The battle began on virtually equal grounds, and ended in the same way. Both sides took heavy casualties, but many of the deadly Makarian Special Forces units survived the battle, leaving one to wonder what will happen with the next change of the sun. May Odin guide them, and Thor be with them... and may they bring me back much gold. | |||
'''UPDATE:''' Sordnaz has declared the Barony to hereon be involved in the Minas Ithil-Norland war. At the root is the recent allowance by Minas Ithil of certain priests into Norland lands in order to assist Minas Ithil's war efforts and fighting the Way of the Hammer. This assault was not unnoticed, and has now led to the direct involvement of the Barony in this war. Another interesting note is that Minas Ithil now shares a border with the Barony, so the battles will not all necessarily be on Norland land. We will fight for our brothers! We will fight for glory in valhalla! And we will fight for gold! <small>Hopefully we get to pay York a visit some time...</small> | |||

Message to Rulers of this world | |||
It's very simple, Minas Ithil went against their own word by allowing priests to do their dirty work. I can't see how simply ordering them back when caught red handed would make it as though it never happened. | |||
The fact that Peny tried to deny the Barony from doing whats right is well known but it doesn't change the reason for my forces beeing there. The solution regarding Norland is easy as you do now border our realm and if wished by Norland I will only let my army use our own regions. You cant say that you are surprised as I did say in public that the barony was about to rally for war while I waited for those involved to act. You have to remember that Barony of Makar didn't go to war the first time because we were federated with Norland but due to you ordering a kill on a priest of mine. If you saw one priest as dangerous, then ask yourself, how dangerous should I see many doing your work is? | |||
Time has gone by, and everyone else seems too occupied to do anything themselves, and so I decided to act alone. | |||
You are right DeadAngel3, it certainly is a sad to watch as your own actions and words come back to bite you. | |||

'''[From DeadAngel3] Just because I allowed foreign priests on Minas Ithil regions on which i have no control over.''' | |||
I am just about to lose some respect for you DA3, the important thing is that you ALLOWED them to preach. When I pointed it out you did nothing. You ignored it and told me that you didn't care what the priests did. Not until I went public and stated my intentions did you decided to do anything about it. But even then your actions were not enough, you continued to act as though you had done nothing wrong. | |||
'''[From DeadAngel3] But basically you use it as an excuse to aid Norland.''' | |||
You may use the word excuse, I prefer the word reason. | |||
'''[From DeadAngel3] So with other words you are incapable to find your own war and you decide to destroy the war between Minas Ithil and Norland.''' | |||
Do not blame me for your actions. If you had not tried to destroy the war by bringing in foreign priests, and then acting as though nothing had happened we wouldn't be in this situation. You wanted a 1 vs 1 with Norland, but it was you who brought in outsiders. Not Norland, and certainly not the Barony. | |||
'''[From DeadAngel3] Even now the foreign priest disrespect my wishes and there is nothing i can do.''' | |||
A king without the power to have a priest arrested... | |||

|Content='''Why did Norland start the war?''' | |||
Basically Norland was unsatisfied with the agreements they made with BoM and Minas Ithil in the war against Eston. The divide up from Eston regions (yes it was pre decided) met the regions of Minas Ithil, but the wish of Norland to get Barad Lacerith was unsatisfied. They prepared a war together with Eston and gave Minas Ithil the ultimatum for Amdor, Amriel and Elost. They never expected that we would give into this demand. As Norland wanted the war, they needed a new set of "justifications" and since the start of the war we have heared many unbelievable reasons for this war. Like create the greater hasland and remove the evil king etc. | |||
'''What are your goals for this war?''' | |||
Defend my regions and make sure Norland will not be in a position to start the war alone again in the future. It always has been my wish to secure the borders of Minas Ithil. | |||
'''What do you think the goals of Norland are?''' | |||
What else, expandation. After they created the Northern Federation, Minas ithil is the only realm they are not allied with anymore especially for this reason. It was always Norlands wish to expand. In the Eston war and in this war. | |||
'''What would make you consider this war to be a success?''' | |||
when the goals of #2 are reached. | |||
'''Has this war been hard on your nobles? How many dead?''' | |||
Minas Ithil is a warrior realm. Sure it is a hard war and many has died for our realm. Especially our Heros and Infiltrators suffered under this war. They risk their lives every day. But we did not start this war, but we surely will end it. | |||
'''Has this war been hard on your peasants? Any mass slaughters?''' | |||
Norland has been very respectful towards our pleasants and that are some parts i honour in Norland. Norland has some great values in their realm and they have been our former ally, not without reason. I highly respect Norland as an enemy, but that will not change that i will not forget how they betrayed Minas Ithil and dropped an alliance for their wish of expandation. | |||
'''Who is winning?''' | |||
Both are losing, currently Minas Ithil has a slight advantage where we have badly fought for it, but who knows how fast the tide will change again. | |||
