An Eye for an Eye, a Tooth for a Tooth
By Korgewrath
Let it be known throughout all the known lands of the Empire of the Wise and Just Stormbringer, Emperor.....That the Grand Duke Korgewrath. Duke of the North and Western Realms and Markgraf of the Northern Wilderness of the Third Continent, Lord Protector of the Imperium, Imperial Representative to the Elven, Dwarf and Barbarian Palitinates, Imperial Governor in Title to the Northern Second Continent and its Tre Land Bridges to the known lands, Patron Royal Ambassador to the Peoples Common of the Imperium. Most humble and willing servant of the Great Divine Emperor Most High, Stormbringer and his peoples...... Has issued a bounty upon one of our empire's enemies that has threatened the right and just held lands of the Crown.
Ghekkufet Tamaut Tsaa, has attempted to annex the lands of the far Eastern land bridge dividing the Third and Second continents. Lands paid for with the blood of Imperial forces for the past 20 years.
His challenge to the Empire of Stormbringer and all loyal of the Third Continent, "Take it back at your own risk".
Naturally, my faith in all loyal to the crown unshakable. My belief that all of our lands better then any of the low races inhabiting the Second continent, led me to a simple rebuttle. That being "All of our realm being so strong and fierce, it will not take an army, yet one, and that one will prove by what a thin thread his life hangs in the balance this very moment".
So a bounty has been placed upon two items to be retrieved from the Orc Ghekkufet Tamaut Tsaa, and his Goblin concubine Svantraima. The first being Ghekkufet Tamaut Tsaa's "Emerald Eye". This vile green stone used to fill the void made by I in our Empires defense some 12 winters past. The other Svantraima's "Dragons Tooth", that used to fill the void made in her insulting mouth by the Captain of my guards you all know and love.
Neither Ghekkufet or Svantraima are to be harmed as it is important to demonstrate how easy it is for any of our realm to access them. This time proof, the next time a blade. You will find both to the far south end of the Eastern land bridge, though know Svantraima enjoys spending her time in Vashte`, one of our Southern most cities over run by orphans and all sorts of debaucherous crime.
Bring me the Eye and the Tooth, and 300 Mhl. will be yours.
Most humble and willing servant of the Great Divine Emperor Most High, Stormbringer and his peoples.
