The War in the North
Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2017 2:55 am
What was the conclusion? Stormbringer had ordered the annihilation of the Grey cloaks, a tribe of Northern Barbarians that had become quite sly. The question of why they were so intelligent had risen a few times and she had no real answers. Nor did the pyro think it some unknown factor, as such it was possible this was her downfall or, an elevation. Realistically, she just couldn't see them working within the darkness of the Spirette, nor, they having a Portal. There were several factors involved in that, one of which, it took time, a few pheonix stones to reach such long distances and, a portal would be more than visible above ground level via their mephos. Not to mention, the beasts were drawn to said magics in droves. No.. there had been no Portal found, but what her spy-work network had found, was mages working with them. Possibly using a portal spell to transport but a few here and there.
It certainly answered several questions of how the aggressive tribe had managed to get in and out of their city so quickly. There was of course, the city within Lord Drakewings holdings, but they would still have to get to the Valencian Portal and that was still several days ride away. Mages were a fickle lot, its not as if you could look at them and know what magics they most held to. That was a problem. But a plan, none the less, had come to a conclusion. Stealth fighters first to take out the Barbarian scouts. Air strikes from above, earth mages below to roust them free of their Keep. Ground forces would then march in and wipe them out. Anything left? Well that would go to the remaining Tribes of the Northern Barbarians to pick up and sell or use. Something the Emperor had wished on and would be given.
She wasn't worried the other clans would interfere, not after hearing about how the conclave meeting had gone so right now? She was inking parchment to send out to nobles and what was needed to be ready. While all notes were similar, not all were of the same..

Greetings, I hope this finds you well and prepared. Most of you are aware of the upcoming skirmish or war, with the Northern Barbarian tribe of the Grey cloaks. Forgive me if this is to brief, but you have a few days to contact me to change or arrange what is needed. On Sunday (5PM Central time) we will be amassing and sending our men and our selves.. to battle against those barbarians needlessly poking at us. Our Emperor suffers no fool and certainly, he will not suffer this idiocy any longer. War is no longer a maybe but an understood factor and order. Have your men prepared. Air, stealth, ground. First we strike with those that are of a stealthy nature to take out any scouts of the Grey cloaks and any guards around their Keep. Then the air strike. Those with mephos are welcome to join me as I will be leading said air strike with fireball to spells that range long distance to bow and arrow lit on fire. Earth mages will bring their Keep down into ground forcing these fools out from the protection of sturdy walls and into the Ground troupes. Decide now where you plan on placing your men or yourselves. I've put Lord Shaka and Lord Scathien in charge of ground troupes for good reason.
While I expect you all to be battle ready.. some of you aren't suited to this. Unto you Lord Sorgram I pass this along. Your Seneschal is not to be on my field of battle. Ever. She isn't knowledgeable nor ready to face such a task. Pick another in her place. We cannot hand hold and force one to take directions nor give them. Perhaps Van Masterson would be a better choice. He at least, isn't afraid to ask questions and gain knowledge. Nor give direction where its needed and ordered. This is not a debate. Those of my own may chose where they are most needed, you all know your skills. I expect my own Seneschal Zully to help in ground forces with jhore aplenty.
Good luck, I shall meet you all in Virelith early in the day.
