Nexus' Call to War

Nexus raises his glass as the howls and yelps of the Moot surround him. He smiles to himself as he drinks the thick drought before him and yells for the servants to bring more meat. The Wolves celebrate all around as he reads the Declaration again aloud:

"It is now evident that the brutalities inflicted on our lands were not caused by a neighbor with dreams of empire, but by a Kalladani merchant cartel seeking
to create a demand for their goods by fermenting a war and then selling to both sides. Caravans would leave Kalladen traveling under the flags of neutrality and claiming to be shipping needed food and medicines to the embattled Fjordsmen, but would also be secretly carrying weapons and other war gear. These caravans would meet with the bandits and trade these supplies for the looted treasures of the western frontier, then travel west to Barad-Duin where the plunder would be used for legal commerce at very lucrative prices. This entire profiteering scheme was done under the cover of an intricate and carefully maintained confundus spell that muddled the wits of its victims and sabotaged all previous investigation efforts."

”War IS brewing brothers and sisters, and our kingdom shall not take these accusations lightly Tomorrow we leave to wreak havoc upon foreign shores. Drink deeply of Rage and Moon tonight, for we will drive this kingdom to war, and after we shatter this fledgling kingdom, we shall take back what is ours."

Nexus returned to his feasting.
