Asherons Call: Solclaim: Attack on Zaikhal by Jothany of Eastham

Lugor The Great splits Commander Jared Kurth apart!

Count Dardante says, "Heh, I can't believe how poor that was."

Count Dardante says, "Sometimes I'm even supprised by the weakness of the bloodless"

Count Dardante says, "My beast in his lowest mental state survived here for quite some time"

Count Dardante says, "I appreciate the efforts of the loyal followers of Varicci"

Count Dardante says, "I hear that Adso was here..."

Count Dardante says, "He must have run off to that Whispering Blade Chapterhouse..."

(Toten hits Dardante with a few wars)
Count Dardante says, "Toten, you may notice I'm protected by the magics of Asheron as well, I fear you won't hurt me."

Count Dardante says, "Kurth is a beast. As his blade leaches the vitae of those it kills it also reduces his mental clearity"

(Dardante hands out Dardante's Viamontian Propaganda)
Count Dardante says, "You need that Scourgeman"
Count Dardante says, "Read it and believe"

Count Dardante says, "Well done followers of Viamont. I fear your skills were put to little use here"

Count Dardante says, "The followers of Elysa here are truly weak. I am suprised at how long my creation lasted in these situations."

Count Dardante says, "General Heredia be strong and embrace the Viamontian way, call Varicci II your true King."

Count Dardante says, "The Queen offers you nothing"
Count Dardante says, "where was she?"
Count Dardante says, "Kurth was here long enough for her to show."
Count Dardante says, "I fear she doesn't care for the peoples of these lands any more."

Count Dardante says, "Darlin Dare, you'd join Viamont if you truely wanted to support your fellow Derethians."

Count Dardante says, "Even the Bloodless can earn rank and honor if they serve the courts of King Varicci."

Darlin Dare says, "You know nothing of heart"
Count Dardante says, "Heart, Darlin?"
Count Dardante says, "We have plenty of heart, heart torn from the Bloodless and other fools."

Darlin Dare says, "I stand my My Queen!"
Count Dardante says, "What Queen?"
Count Dardante says, "Where is your Queen?"
Count Dardante says, "Where is even a representative of your Queen?"
Count Dardante says, "She doesn't care for you any more. She has her power and now she spends her time on nobody but herself."

Count Dardante says, "Adso does not stand for the Queen."

Count Dardante says, "He works for someone with their own plans, plans not of the Queen."

Scourgeman says, "How dare you attempt to start race wars here Count! Does it not say enough that we, Gharu'ndim, Aluvian, Sho, and now Viamontian stand together without your so called king already."
Count Dardante says, "Scourgeman, you'd be better to stand togeather with the true King of these lands. King Varicci."

Darlin Dare says, "he is a traitor to our Queen..."
Count Dardante says, "A traitor to a false Queen?"
Count Dardante says, "How is that even possible"

Stormy Nightz says, "Count Dardante... Neither you nor Adso will tell us who he serves.. why?"
Count Dardante says, "I am uncertain of who Adso truly serves"
Count Dardante says, "I do know he is the apprentice of Oswald and has been recieving orders from a "Black Knight""

Count Dardante says, "We at the Rossu Morta are researching the Black Knight, he has not shown much of himself in these lands. Not nearly enough for us to have figured out his true identity."

Count Dardante says, "The Black Knight is most definately not Grael. HA!"

Count Dardante says, "I must take leave of this place. My supporters, the supporters of the true King of these lands, I thank you again, and I salute you"

.....................Dardante's Viamontian Propaganda................................

Rejoice, for your salvation has come at last! Cast off the shackles of loyalty to your upstart queen, and instead follow one of royal blood - King Varicci II.

On Ispar, Aluvia prospered under the reign of Viamont. Why should it not be the same here, in a foreign land beset with enemies on all sides? And, truly, what has Elysa done besides shoot an Olthoi many years ago? Consort with great powers who dragged us here against our will in the first place. Leave her people to fight the monsters of this world rather than protecting them as a monarch should. In times of need, be virtually impossible to find, sequestered away while her people seek her aid.

For those who have not committed acts against the throne, Viamont offers great reward in return for service. The illusion is that the Bloodless who serve Viamont do not get rewarded. Several free companies are in service to Viamont and can attest to the regular pay and benefits they receive. And there is one Bloodless that your upstart would term a traitor who is merely a victim of attempts to discredit her.

She gave you the housing many of you use on this world. She gave you new lifestones in places where none existed before. She gave you the Noble Weapons which helped turn the tide against the Burun. But your upstart would call her a traitor and try to smear her name. I call her a wise colleague who will help us better life on this continent for all Isparians.

Consider why you fight in this war. Consider the side you serve, and then consider Viamont. A sane alternative in an insane world.

Thanks so much to Jothany of Eastham, Solclaim
