Oklin gazes at the seal that was unfamiliar to him as he sits at his office desk. Air a drift with smoke and stagnant. Hesitant at first, Oklin, began to slowly break the seal. As he pulled out the letter smoke found its way out of the corners of his mouth. Eyes darted back and forth, scanning each word with its’ own importance value. After a few moments to absorb what he had read. “Hmmm..yes. It is time for Borshwald to open up. No longer plodding behind .” Oklin nods to himself. “An opportunity is here...to make allies.” His cheeks puff up as he takes a long drag from his pipe letting the smoke pour from his nostrils.

For Ironwrath

The same letter was sent out in a mass, with couriers delivering them far and wide across the Eastern Kingdoms. They bore none other than the seal of Fairhaven, known to be the lands held by Duchess Loala Addington in the high north. They were expressed as sensitive and confidential, and read as follows.

To the Lords and Ladies it may concern, be you above the Thandol Span or below,

I write to you during a difficult time within the North. Though it has touched many of your ears already, allow me to remind you what has transpired. Simply put, Areius Ironborne has had his lands taken during his time at war, by none other than a traitorous, still power hungry relative. My Lords and Ladies, my allies, my friends - we are all at risk here.

If an entire duchy is to be taken in a wars time, knowing their Duke and Lord Commander are off to battle, who is to say it will not happen to any number of us even as we sit at home? I compose this letter to you not for declaration of war, but for discussion. The Duke of Ironwrath and his three children reside now within Fairhaven, and he and I would like nothing more than to meet with each of you. If you are not able, we ask you send someone in your stead to represent your name. For those of you who do not know me, for those who do not know Lord Ironborne, we ask you come for nothing more than the safety of your own people and your own lands - to form alliances with one another.

Attached is a map with Fairhaven marked. We meet in Castle Violet on the 24th of this month, no later than the fifth bell. I pray you arrive with an open mind.

Light bless you all. May your travels be safe and your name continue to prosper.

Journey to Borhswald Keep

The keep of Borhswald was a basic built one. High walls with spikes upon them and stones painted green. Men in half-plate patrolled behind the turrets as black armored knights, kept stationed at the main gates as well as the entrance to the main keep itself. Off in the distance a drill could be heard as swords clashed against shields. A blacksmiths hammer was crashing and the smell of fresh bread wafted in the air. Borshwald, the keep that kept enemies of Blackfyre at bay. Home of Oklin.

The small traveling group escorted Monisha to Borhswald with miniscule complications. Nothing critical enough to put anyone in danger. Not while she had professional fighters at her side. All but one knew Monisha for many years. They knew her temperament: outrages outburst, inappropriate public behavior, lewd language and the list continues. The guards agree to accompany her to Borhswald Keep, Oklin’s (Monisha’s fiancé) home. It would be Monisha permanent home, too. She did not know what to expect, but a grand welcoming party. She wanted to bask in the spotlight. Be cherished by Oklin’s villagers, and be showered with gifts. Later she would find out there is no welcoming party, and Oklin being greeted by his dog, Brich instead, and a local.

The journey started from the Scarlet tavern in Darkshire, where Monisha had spent couple of weeks recovering from injuries, and Penny had paid a visit, concerned about her. From Darkshire it was a quiet eerie ride through the ominous woods of Duskwood. Daniyel broke the ice with small talk among the travelers. Barirn did not appreciate conversation. Being a Death Knight not many of his kind would.

Lanterns suspended on posts scarcely illuminated the road, giving the old carriage driver trouble seeing and halted the horses with something up ahead. Everyone wondered why the carriage stopped. A goblin merchant waved his arms in the air wanting to sell his wares. After some exchanged words Monisha’s companion, Long Quan acquired a watch from the goblin merchant. It still put the guards on high alert, not trusting anyone on the side of roads, especially goblins, even if merchant sellers mean no harm. The group continued their way to Redridge Mountains with slight complications, spiders. The old carriage driver yelled out in fear, “SPIDERS!” That cry had all the guards riding up to the front of the carriage, and took care of the monstrosities. Oklin wondered why the spiders suddenly had an interest in them.

It was not long before they reached Borhswald Keep unharmed. Once arrived Monisha felt utter disappointment seeing Oklin give affection to his dog. He greeted the dog excitedly from only being away for a couple of weeks. Monisha yearned for that sort of affection from her fiancé. There were times she either wanted kill Oklin or fuck him. There was no in between.

Monisha glanced around seeing her new home and associates who accompanied her. What sort of life would she have here? The keep did not belonged her. Borhswald belonged to Oklin. Monisha is a destroyer of worlds. Those who work for her either survive or perish. Are Oklin’s people safe with Monisha around? The real question can Oklin trust his fiancée.

Oklin reads over the article as  the soft patter of rain is heard against his offices’ window. A grim visage takes hold of his face while reading of the failed negotiations. “Good. A fiend the likes of him should taste what he has escaped..” As talks to himself the slight clinking of metal against glass can be heard as he dips his pen in to ink. “Knowing the name of the one though.” Oklin takes his time in drawing a circle around Lady Ironborne. “Is quite the boon.” Leaning back in his chair while setting the pen down, Oklin ignites his pipe and takes a puff. Smoke slowly ascends over Oklin’s face while his eyes begin to glow with the fire of the Light. “Justice be swift and without mercy. Even if it is not I who will swing the blade.”

Charges Levied as Negotiations Begin

By Sky Stoneseat

As the situation up North concerning Warlund Blackfyre keeps unfolding, we secured an interview with Lady Elaianna Nesbitt-Stalsworth. While justice can be harsh in the North, many may have felt death was a harsh sentence for mere trespassing. However, Lady Nesbitt-Stalsworth confirmed the charges brought are far greater than a simple matter of trespassing.

On the charges she had this to say, “Warlund Blackfyre is not condemned merely for trespassing. He is condemned for being a known enemy to my family and being caught with a sizable armed force on my lands. His other crimes include many injustices. Even the Duchess who has made him a vassal of her House acknowledges this fact. One crime includes attempting to run me through with his sword while I was within my third trimester.”

These much more serious crimes warrant a much harsher hand, regardless if his status of  Baron comes into play. Lady Nesbitt-Stalsworth feels he is a “Criminal before he is a Lord” and has kept him in a commoner cell regardless of rank, indicating there simply was not the time to find him other accommodations once his title had become known to her. However, she has granted him a few requests including an audience with his adopted daughter and allowing his horse to go free.    

As reported earlier Lady Ironborne has been in negotiations to free him. We are told that these efforts are not going as well as she hoped. She has “declined both offers that would end in no bloodshed and with Warlund away from the ability to wage war. She has also declined to offer any counter proposals.” As such it would seem that the execution is still set to be carried out.

Rumors have been swirling about regarding Lady Ironborne’s motives for wanting him free. While this is not the time nor the place to address gossip, it should be noted that Lady Ironborne told this reporter in an unused quote that they have a “close, personal relationship”. We can only speculate this is in some way part responsible for Lady Ironborne working to secure the release of a known criminal.

Many may feel this is a case of Northern justice gone too far, others may feel it is the right course of action and should be seen to the end. Lady Nesbitt-Stalsworth had this to say regarding his right to a trial.“Warlund Blackfyre has already been through the court system. He was incarcerated for many of the crimes he committed, but no justice was ever applied to the crimes he committed from the day of his escape. His abjuration did not halt his crimes beyond the kingdom’s reach. I feel I am merely following the spirit of the law by making certain he pays for his continued atrocities against others. In short, he has had his trials both in court and by combat, now it is high time he faces the punishments he escaped before.”

We will continue our coverage of this story as it unfolds.

My Lady.

I have kept my vigil. My oath to you lives on but not in the dark below to which you lay. It is kept within the ever burning legacy that you have given to the world. I have watched your lands for the time, which has felt like years, from your passing. All who would encroach upon it shall meet a doom that likes of which would be written in legends. They will be scattered.

My eyes however do not only grace the threats found in the south. I see what is to the north as well. Not the land to which I hail, nor from where the Havenfire had been brought to me...but from the frozen wastes to which some have taken up residence. If they should attack, I make no threat, the snow will run red with hubris.

I will hold high those who bring deceit from within. For they are the insects that gnaw at the pillars of Blackfyre. It is them that would bring destruction to your legacy. When their necks are between the cold metal of my gauntlets I will look upon them. I shall see how they look to the sky as if asking some divine entity to reach down and pluck them up....In that moment they will find no solace, for the only god there is me.

However many come they will only feel the iron of my fist and the steel of my spear. I know not their names, for I care not to. To me only the sacred land on which they trod with ill intent matters. I do not hate them though, for they do not understand. I will make them however. For in me they will see the burning retribution.

Of a thousand fires. I am your will made manifest. I am the bringer of hope to those under your banners. I am the loyalty that inspires others. I am the commander of the troops to which you graciously left me with. More importently...I am no longer the defender of Blackfyre, but of your legacy, Lady Tayela. I miss you.

A warning is not a threat, but a spoken threat is a foolish warning to give your enemies. If a man is worth threatening, then he is worth killing. Cut him down before a word is spoken. Otherwise keep your tongue prudently sheathed along with your sword.

Constant Bickering

The city of Stormwind consist of a large dock, harboring military vessels, merchant ships and family owned boats. Ships from every alliance continent dock their vessels weekly, and workers never cease their business. Few sailors stopped working and looked over at a commotion. The men snickered, jerking their thumb over at a couple, who seem to be having relationship problems. Their quarreling drew attention, intrigued by the woman’s promiscuous endeavors. Oklin and Monisha stood by the dockside, arguing from noble reputation, regulations to outlets.

“I learn so much about you through your words. How you value yourself. You seem to create this visage of slight hedonistic tendencies coupled with seductive speech. Need to learn better outlets for the repression of whatever has caused this. Makes it easier to live.” Oak blows out a cloud of smoke from his pipe.

“I’m a woman with needs and some of them can be selfish. You know what I want from this little business of ours. You throw this unfaithful shit at me. I can’t lay with no other man once we’re married? How am I going to satisfy my flesh? Am I going to get that from you? Do you see how we act? You can’t even kiss me! I need to learn better outlets? SEX IS MY OUTLET!” She yelled out. Her heels agitatedly tapped against the stone ground. How dare he advise her to seek better outlets. Oklins’s lecture infuriated the councilor, her eyes held back fire that wanted to desperately scorch him.

“So, you admit lying with other men? An action that would no doubt dispel that already flimsy façade to which we have put up. If you are caught by another but myself, you realize it would not be you whom they taunt. You have nothing to lose in that sense. Already people see you as what sits in a brothel. For me I have much reputation at stake. My lands, my people, the legacy of Tayela Blackfyre all hang upon my shoulders. Not yours. You are an accessory to them, which is kept holding some sort of sway, to which is beneficial to me.” Oklin spoke in a calm, regal manner. The Baron of Borshwald knew what he was getting into. He continued to school Monisha into becoming a proper noble.

It was going to be a long journey, plenty of hurdles and possibly involvement of alcohol. The councilor, Monisha seemed to equate an adolescent that needed to be disciplined.
