[quote=@Mardox] Upon hearing Bornetall's request, Nieldun nodded. "My good sir, I would be honored if you represented the Nastrondi people. You have my blessing to go and compete in the tournament, best of luck and may your sword hand never fail you." With this, Nieldun saluted Bornetall and went to attend to the matter of Vaalgard. Hearing the terms offered by Lord Marthall, Nieldun composed a brief letter. [i]Esteemed Lord Marthall, I assure you that the "The Slaughter" as it has come to be known was not something I would ever do to a force that honorably surrenders. Furthermore, my men are not permitted to harm civilians unless attacked. As such, I gladly accept your offer and your people will be treated honorably. Sincerely, King Nieldun Gildedtongue of Nastrond[/i] Then, once that was done, he issued orders to his armies. 20,000 new recruits each would occupy Gisting and Dolgathrasar. The Eastern Army would march to Sachaila while the Western would besiege Eljun. The same methods were to be used with the entire city encircled from a camp outside arrow range. [/quote] Lord Marthall surrenders and his force leaves the fortress unharmed for Eljun. However, before his forces could even reach Eljun and Saichala a message arrives from the king of Vaalgard. [i]King Nieldun You have won the battles and you have won the sieges, now I ask of you that we settle upon a peace. I do not wish my people to suffer any further for my mistakes so I kindly ask that we bury the hatchet. I am willing to offer Dolgathasar to you and if Lord Highmall agrees, Gisting as well. To further appease you, we will allow military access within our territory as long as the force does not exceed 60.000 soldiers. Let us stop this bloodshed for now. With Respect, King Dorias Grainwad[/i]
