We should have burned Athel Loren, all the trees and sprites, many years ago!
*shouting*
Enough! Montfort is lost, and our western allies have failed us. Where were the elfs last seen?
My spies tell me that they are massing in the west, we must expect an attack on Helmgart!
This is nonsense, no attack is coming - The Empire controls Axebite Pass. they are not attacking, they are making allies! At this very moment they consult Courrone, the Brettonians! The Grail Knights will crusade against us and Marienburg will be lost once more!
Ridiculous! Karak Ziflin won't stand for it! Our forces have sole military access to their foothills. I believe the attack will come from Middenland itself - they intend to travel across the world roots, and into the drakwald - the forest will revolt, and sweep down from the north
Thats wild speculation!
They cannot win back the Drakwald from the beastmen!
They will come not from athel loren, nor from the north - our traders in the south report that they have forged an alliance with Clan Angrund. They intend to circumnavigate the grey mountains and march their army-
Over the Vaults perhaps!
They would lose half their army to attrition alone! The other half would desert!
We must defend the Mondidier Pass!
And do you expect the dwarfs to welcome them when they arrive?
I suppose they will bring with them, an army of Forest Dragons!
Elector Counts, I dare say that would be quite a feat, even for the great King in the Woods.
