Price: free ContentsCurrent EventsHaughty Asked To Leave The Barony(February 05) Haughty, as some will remember, has been fined not once, but twice for joking about the only crime the Barony considers unforgiveable: treason. The second time he was fined he was given a final warning, if he does it again, he would be banned. So what do you know, a new viking shows up and he starts joking about the underground! Hang promptly asked him to leave the realm, to which Haughty replied with... CRYING! What kind of viking is this?! If he had any chance to stay noone would welcome him now. (See our new Viking Quote to see his liege's response to crying) Sordnaz Speaks On The War(February 03) Letter from Sordnaz Message sent to everyone in your realm Vikings! It just hit me that I havent explained why we are at war with MinasIthil or why we loot RedSpan. I do know that you all live for raidsand loot but with a cause those things might be a little morefun. The war with Minas Ithil is simple, we were to defend Norland butMinas Ithils evil ruler Dead Angel3 made one of his infiltratorbackstab good old Salem for preaching in the streets...No one doesthat without paying in full for his actions. I have never left aviking out to dry and war has been declared for less. RedSpan, well they... eh.. have gold and .. they happened to bewhere our horde was. The Fact that Darka decided to make them payfor the attack they suffered months ago and that the whole Talerianarmy was there also has something to do with it. Why climb thewalls of Stargard when you can have two huge armies tear them downfor you. The Mighty goat of RedSpan is not lasughing anymore. Eston has some quarrels with Falasan and Tara has a claim on acouple of Falasan regions as well, something about having to manypeople and not enough food. Abington did what any good federate would do and responded toRedSpans cry for help. ASI our old friends have decided to side with evil, they arecurrrently in the northern Minas Ithil eating grass and cuddlingwith horses. Caglian Empire the Central Atamaras lion, who knows what they arethinking, the Carelian issue is out of the picture and that leavesus with Carelia and Caglian Empire as two realms in peace while therest of the world is fighting in one way or the other. Cathrine, Falasans Queen was last seen entering the luxuary resortof Xanadu or was it Europe? Tank was elected King and he is notonly ruler now but also the founder of the "Black Mamabs", adangerous combination if you ask me. Two more issues of great importance. The Badgers in Lamia have increased in numbers over the last coupleof months and the peasants talks of rumours mentioning the "GiantBadger", if he is back then we will face a real danger unless wecan strike some kind of deal. There are also rumours from Norland about an army of Squirrels inShiwerwood. The Norland Althing will not confirm or deny therumours but some of their members have been seen shipping theirstash of chutney out of Shiverwood and to safety in Brackhead. Follow orders and stay alert! Sordnaz Dictator of Barony of Makar, Duke of Sale While it is true this paper has previously reported on this issue (after obtaining a copy of Sordnaz's letter to the other rulers), this is truely interesting. We finally see everyones reasons for all these wars - not that we care. We get to loot, who cares why? War with Minas Ithil(Just catching up on the important stuff, this happened January 24) War! The Dictator has declared war on Minas Ithil. Letter from Sordnaz Message sent to the Rulers of this world (12 recipients) Today I received news from no other then Dead Angel3 himself that forced me to declare war. It seams that a priest from the Barony was attacked by a MI infiltrator in a MI region, Dead Angel3 was more upset about the priest beeing there then that a criminal that he called his infiltrator had tried to kill a man of peace. I do not order priests to request permission before preaching as they are not part of an army or acting with hostility against the local population. They are usually men of peace but Dead Angel3 just changed that as I now hear of a full scale religion war, I can not let men with no weapons at hand fight against a realm by themself. War is declared and it will be faught on all fronts that MI have used, my army is ready, my priests are ready and I am sure that any of the top skilled infiltrators that have trained hard is ready. I was about to help defend Norland if it came to that but now the Barony will fight side by side with Norland. Sordnaz Dictator of Barony of Makar, Duke of Sale And so it is that the horde marches once more, this time under the banner of the Northern Federation. Our dictator has promised us gold and blood and death and destruction, and we, the followers of the Hörgr of Makar, march towards glory. The evil that is Athonlaurism shall be purged and our brothers in Norland will reclaim the lost lands of Hasland and old Norland. When the Federation marches, none shall stand in our way. -- Hang Disclaimer: All articles written in the Northland Tribune are NOT necessarily the views of the government of Barony of Makar.

Viking QuotesRoleplay from Ender Message sent to everyone in your realm Vikings do not cry like little southern children when things get tough. I dont even want you as a Knight of Makar if you are going to act like that and blame your scribe instead of just killing him and taking responsibility yourself. Ender Duke of Makar Letter from Sordnaz Message sent to everyone in your realm Some nice RS taunts. Which brings me onto another thing, if the 120 man unit has lots of gold and the 35 strong unit has only sore feet, then the 120 man unti will not be able to run fast enough when the 35 man unit find out that the 120 man unit has stole their beer. Blisters or no blisters, nobody steels our ale. I guess Ender has it comming if they touch the local water ;-) Sordnaz Dictator of Barony of Makar, Duke of Sale |
