In the interest of a settlement for the benefit of Greater Malas, Stonegate wishes to extend this offer unto the Governor and rulers of Umbra.
In regards to the main city of Umbra, Stonegate has found that the actions of one Darrien Church and his cult of Oblivion Worshipers is
detrimental to the welfare and well-being of this great City. Their behaviour and ultimate goal to destroy not only Umbra but Malas and
Sosaria beyond is a threat that must be contained.

Therefore, Wolf King Myrddin ab'Arawn, former Patriarch of Umbra, imposes the following demands for the benefit of those in Umbra as well as
the inhabitants of Malas and more largely Sosaria as a whole.

1) All sources of entropic energy are to be identified, dismissed, and removed from the city.

2) All rituals or magic pertaining to Oblvion and its worship be banned from the city.

3) The normal and rightful magic of the city, its knowledge, and its teaching is to be once more restored. Specifically, the magic of Necromancy
and the freedom of all to visit and learn of the city is to be reinstated.

4) The Order of Oblvion sign a treaty giving the ultimate control of the City to the Guardians of Stonegate. Upon the transfer of powers over Umbra,
Stonegate will consider allowing the current Governor, Ariana Lenoir, to oversee the continued well being of the city of Umbra.

This demand is pertaining only to the public city works and does not pertain to the outlying territories, Stonegate agrees to leave them to
pursue their own pursuits if the agreements of this demand are met.

Note that if the demands of this decree are refused, or not met in full, the Guardians of Stonegate will consider this as an act of aggression by the Lich lord
and the cult of Oblivion.

All acts of aggression on behalf of Oblivion and its worshippers will be dealt with swiftly and punished severely.


May Destiny foretell our Fates,

Myrddin Ab'Arawn
Wolf King of Stonegate

Speaks:

Wolf-King of Stonegate,

Your knowledge of our theology, our great purpose and the ways of Oblivion are without equal. The destruction of Malas and in fact all of Sosaria is not by any scope of the imagination the nature of Oblivion or Entropy. Rather, it is Our most true desire that a Stygian Kingdom, comparable only to the domain of the Lich Lord Nizar of blessed memory rise from the mists of time in Southern Malas.

As you, a denzien of Malas itself must know, the Crumbling Continent is nothing more then the ruins of a Stygian Empire of Oblivion ruled by the Lich Lord Daz'Tarunvas of blessed memory from what is know the ruined Pyramid of the Umbran Badlands. A disaster of immense proportions resulted in the shattering of the land you call Malas due to a great conflict between the dual cities you now know as Luna and Malas.

Further, it was by the usurping of our rightful throne by the skre'daz Norture & the skre'daz Bailos that after the loss of Lich Lord Levas Dazula of blessed memory that the land of Umbra, for the first time since the rise of the Circle of Bedlam and the rise of Mardoth that the city of Umbra passed from the hands of a Lich Lord to those beneath the station of Entropic Prowess required for the governing of Umbra and the rightful throne of Daz'Tarunvas of Blessed Memory.

You speak then of the removal of entropic energies and powers from Malas. This demand resonates most loudly your ignorance. Entropy, be it named or not is ever present in the material plane. The melt of snow, the withering of the rose, the cracking of rock, the decay of the flesh, the rotting of food...this is Entropy. It is not a magic energy, nor is it that which can be wielded. You speak as if the Order wield's entropy in spell and sword, this is a great and foolish statement. We do no such thing, the Order of the Ebon Skull simply moves, most naturally, with the ebb and flow of that most powerful force to which all matter is subject, to which all matter is enslaved.

You then speak of a "restoration' of Necromancy. The Necromancy of which you speak, the natural Necromancy of Umbra is no more then a common tool, used now by the unwashed masses of Sosaria. It is by the teachings of the Scholomance, and the work of the High-Necromancer Dealthagar that the art comes to see it's true nature restored.

You go on to speak of the worship of Oblivion, this is yet another grave error. Oblivion is not worshipped, Oblivion is not a deity. The rituals you speak of are a means of focused meditation and transcendence into the nature of Oblivion so that the followers of the True Path may come to seek, most willingly and with great understanding freedom from the shackles of the material, and freedom from the false notions of the virtues and anti-virtues.

You also speak of a freedom to visit the city of Umbra being required and called for...foolish. You and your kind, as well as the sanctimonious false-paladins of Sanctus and our stated enemies are barred from Umbra because you call us your foe. To any who come to Umbra without ill intent or malice directed to the Order there is free reception and open societal culture.

In reference to the government of Umbra removed from the Lich Lord Darrien Church, the government of Umbra rules because we will it. Their authority extends from Our throne, by Our word and at Our Will. This act is considered an act of aggression to the Order of the Skull and the Drowish Matriarchy which has joined in union with the Kingdom of Umbra.

You are a young man King, unknowing of the time of our great conflict in the lands of Trammel and the Northern provinces of Yew and Cove. At the sign of the defeat of the Shadow Conclave, We, charged with leadership of the Campaign by the Lich Lord Admoreth Nazduin, in what short time we had, burned, executed and laid waste to the people, live-stock and fields and forests of those lands as we withdrew back to Umbra. Anticipating sooner then later this action from your Throne, We, the great manipulator, the great master of deceit, the ruiner of cities have prepared. Either your mother (whom we suspect to be your spy) or any spies you may have in our region may have informed you of massive detonations in the abandoned southern desert. By the fusion of Necromancy, Technomancy, and the power of the Ebon Skull as well as a fragment of the Gem of immortality itself devices of mass destruction have been constructed and tested. Should a single member of your Kingdom or Alliance be seen in Umbra without the proper notification of the Lich Lord personally, the devices, being installed in Umbra proper as we speak shall be detonated and we so swear, on the Ebon Skull you shall find either an endless sea of the starry void or a stinking and forsaken crater where once rested the floating city of Umbra, should be foolish enough to step through the moongate. When this is done, The Lich Lord and the Ebon Skull would have escaped, as is our talent, and we shall return. You will have accomplished nothing by the destruction of your former Patriarchy. Do not be so foolish to doubt Wolf-King that we shall do this...we have lost Umbra once to your line, we shall not lose it again, we shall not live in a Malas where you have everything and we, nothing.

We had hoped to allow the Queenship of Umbra, and the Umbran Regent's desire for peace and unity to take sway over our own politics, but you have elected to demand the Lich Lord step out of Charnel Hill. Be it in a month, or one hundred years the time will come when we begin a grand campaign on your lands and we shall not stop until the memory of your Kingdom is erased from memory. Each time you leave your domain, each plan you formulate away from your snowy rubbish-hole we shall be as spider-vines at your feet, we shall be as vultures, swooping town to gouge your eyes, in every way shape and form that we can lash at you we shall, and should things go is you plan, without the anchor of Umbra to hold us, we shall appear and vanish into the shadows as the spider darts about the corners and cracks of the ancient towers of Trinsic. We shall declare upon you a perpetual grahad. All manner of plague, hex, curse, blight and spell shall follow the wave of undead, drowish and mechanical horrors that we shall unleash upon your line until it's absolute extinction.

For the very insolence of this decree, and these demands, We vow, the Ebon Skull and the names of Nizar, Levas, Azalin, Admoreth, Levas, Tyranthraxus, Norture, Bal-Anok Dak, Rune Artisem & Beleth a day shall come where you shall see your women vanquished by all manner of savage beast before finally being pleasured with the point of the swords of our Death Knights, you shall watch your children have their organs pulled from their living bodies, you shall see your family-line and your lovers force-fed your severed manhood before we slit their throats and raise them and mindless undead. Your snowy kingdom shall be enchanted and hexed with fire, and lava, we shall call down the very mountains around you. You shall watch your own mother kiss and venerate our very feet, as you sit, in our throne chamber chained to the very bones of your people, forged into a great cage. Darrien Church and the Ebon Skull shall be bathed in your filthy and arrogant blood.

We are the chaos that tears stars apart...

You cannot hide...

You cannot escape us...

All Hail the Lich Lord.
All Hail the Ebon Skull.
All Hail Queen Catherine Skyfire, most beloved servant of the Lich Lord
All Hail The Ebon Council
May Umbra Prosper Eternal Under Their Sacred & Entropic Gaze.
Etheng!
