Quoted By:
A single raven carried aloft a hide-scrawled letter to the remaining Kislevite stronghold of the North,
"Hail to the defenders, be they Gospodar, Roppsmenn, or Ungols, of the defiant Fort Straghov,
Our hosts bypassed you in seasons past, seeking the great treasures of your southerly kinsmen. Of this season, we both have far greater foes to contend with. A horde of heretics, even amongst our kind by your reckoning, strikes out to destroy all in their path. Glory & gold do not avail them; only the destruction of all in their path. With us, you know what is at stake, & what bargains may be struck. We cannot offer you peace in good faith, only a reprieve at our whims between raids. This terrible foe however, does not entertain even those notions. Rally your allies among the Dorfs to this threat, so that our own bastions & theirs may suffice as bulwarks against these fiends. Whomsoever among you rules as Rotamaster, Otaman, Ataman, Hetman, Druzhina, Boyar, or Duke, send word & we may be inclined to allow reinforcements to pass peaceably past our own lines, should you swear upon your Ice-Queen, Gods, & Ancestors that they shall not strike at us until these invaders are dead, & we too may exchange such oaths of blood & honor before our own Deities & Forefathers. Choose instead stubborn foolishness, & no guarantees may be made, leaving your men between the hammer of the blasphemous legion & the anvil of our blood-thirsty warriors.
So say I,
High Zar Ivan Dolgan of the Wheatlands, Slayer of the Troll-King, King of Ivanoslav, Dragon-Prince of the Melniboneans, Overlord of the The Blighted Fimir, Tusk-Lord of Great Mammoth Herds, The Unbearable One, Forger of the Pact of the North, etc., etc."
>Parlay for a Temporary Truce with the Garrison of Fort Straghov
Redeploying my troops so as best to block the Porcelaintide. The Fimir will make all haste to shore up defenses to the West; the middle contingent will make use of the now emptied caverns of Wintertooth.
