Turn Fourteen Results for 27 - 52 of Lirar'a'mazi 372yp

There have been many skirmishes between the Fist & Sepiam and the Shawnal. There have been light causalities on both sides, the Shawnal have attempted to scatter the horses, but have had limited results. Your scouts believe that they are fighting a holding action, trying to keep the Shawnal bottled up in the mountains, while they scout your lands in force. The Shawnal are wary of retreating to deeply into the mountains as a few scouts have been attacked by corpses of the Shawnal.

You have several conversations with Pamorii regardig the Shawnal's needs. The Shawnal are a group of herders, gatherers and small farmers. They have a defined territory that they migrate around in. As a result they need a much larger territory than their number might suggest. A typical tribe might have 20000 - 50000 people in each tribe. For example Alm Hama'ij might have a total population of 250000. As a result they might need a territory of 1/5 of the Alm's lands. The Shawnal would be willing to enter into a trade agreement with the Alms as well as a military agreement. They would be happy to raid, plunder or fight their own tribal foes as well as anyone who encroaches on the Alms territory.

T'j recieves a letter from Alm Hamaij

T'j ' Hand of Chal

Thankyou for your kind words. I can only guess that the decisions before you and the angst these may cause. I have made the Shawnal of the Thunder Tribe welcome the few who have come and have issued a command that no one is to go within 2 miles of their stone. The Thunder Tribe has isolated itself from the the other Shawnal who have travelled with them. The issues that continues to plague me is crumbling of the Southern Alms cause. E'pval and Sepiam have with drawn their forces from the Heretic's cause, this has created a weakness in the overall defenses. Furthermore, E'pval actions and words have become a threat to my lands. Soon I must chose to remove the Shawnal from my lands or recall my forces from the Heretic's cause to counter E'pval. T'j Pract'la I pray to Chal that you act soon.

T'j recieves this letter from Shakar

"It is time for action. The Southern Lords are being held to the flame by the North, and the coiled serpent, Saip, has sunk his teeth into their flank. Azariah has his eyes on lands of Pelajah. And the Fist have mustered and will not lie in wait for long. Soon our corner of Jiaj will be a swarm of death and ruin.

There is nothing to be done to prevent bloodshed, you cannot keep the Shawnal under control for much longer, they only add to the chaos in the region. Those around you that sit on the fence must be shown an example of your might and your will, and those that follow you now must be shown that you will lead them somewhere.

Strike hard now, bring the Tribesmen to their ancestor stones which lie within the lands of those who would oppose you. The warriors who remain undecided about you, will soon enough rally to your strength and a promise delivered. This is what they understand. And the alms that wait in the wings, will rush to heel like a pack of whimpering dogs.

The Kudrun sense the unbalance in the world, and wish to see it restored. The Clanmother spoke of the return of evil that we have only witnessed the start of, the Kudrun see the path you take as the best course towards salavation and preservation. I feel they will support you in more than word.

You cannot hope to hold the fabric of the world together, you can only try to tear it into a shape that suits you."

The Clanmother lifts her eyes and focuses on the wall behind her. Shakar turns to look at what she is seeing. Runes on the top and bottom of the wall slowly become visible. Hard solid square runes framing an empty wall. Mercury seeps into the runes, overflows both down and up the wall forming a mirror. A whirlwind of images emerge, waver and dance on the wall. The images move too quickly to capture, but surely relay history as known by the Kurdrun. Ilfara?, Slith?, Dra'carn (Dracarn?), Kurdrun, Nivarn? and Humans in turn take centre stage and then become minor players. History becomes the present, the players become Tigers, Shawnal, Milar, TheProphet, TheHeretic, T'j (Tj)and war. The image becomes confused, unclear yet revealed for an instance the silhouette of a Slith? and a Dra'carn (Dracarn?), ending in the a rolling black cloud. Once the darkness fades Shakars eyes lock once more with the Clanmothers. Her voice quietly fills the entire chamber "How will you affect the fulcrum of the future'"

Rizalam of the Sja'rac'acor writes a brief note:

I know why you are not meeting me, it shows you have good sense. I accept your bribe, but to make it stick you will send me a half sphere. You will stay out of Sja'rac'acor business. I'll let you know what is ours once you send the half sphere.

Your advisors suggest that you listen and the noble is let go once the money was paid.

Re: the Fist

Your agents attempt to give TheFist's informants as much contray information as possible, you are unsure of the effectiveness of the tactic as they have managed to get all of their troops in place and have secure supply route in place.

The double agent: Navaril

You learn that the double agent for the governer has a large gambling debt that would have required him to sell his children into slavery to cover the debt. The governer has taken his children to live with him in the Cas'lm palace. The double agent won't do anything to jeopardize the lives of his children. He continues to haunt the gambling dens to ferret out information for the governer's agents. His debts are paid by the royal treasury. He is willing to supply you with information as well, but his first loyalty is too his children and whomever protects the wellbeing of his children. Lataj is not able to create a spell or device that can kill from afar.

The tatoo

Lataj believes that the tatoo is such a device. A Kurdrun comes to spend time with Lataj and together they study the man and his tatoo. Both believe that magics of the Dra'carn, Slith and Sja'ji'am were combined to create this tatoo. Apparently they probed too hard and on the 50th the tatoo is triggered and the man's brain is liquided and slowly seeps out of his skull. They briefly noted that there was at the time of the tatoo's detonation there was a link to somewhere east or north east east was severed.

Azariah's troops and his allies attack both Alm Pela'jah and Alm Ra'fimem. It appears that AlmAzariah has been planning these attacks for several seasons. He was able to send commando units into hiding on both Alm's lands, had troops secretly hiding in strategic points to attack when both Alm's were showing signs of weakness. He sent two strong contingents of troops against both Alms, which drew off their forces and then his lands were vulnerable to his hidden troops. The battle is developing in Alm Azariah's favour.

You engaged in an ancient ritual that settled disputes between the Jarazine. There are three stages to this ritual. At each stage of the ritual the Pamorii preside over the affair. Most rituals are settled in the first stage.

Saer and Cire were in the questioning stage of the Arguement when Cire left.

Cire left with 1000 Thunder Tribe Shawnal.
