Facing the Dark
Posted by Darrow on 01/06/18
To the Peerage and Populace of the Compact:
I am Darrow of House Darkwater. As you know, or will soon be apprised of, the fleets of Koraj Marin are sailing in a pronged attack towards the Compact. The Isle of Darkwater, and the Darkwater Watch - stand in direct line of the would-be King's fleet. The agents of the enemy have struck down your hopes recently - Dame Zhayla, Lord Killian Ashford - but they have split blood in far greater numbers before. My cousin Maximilian, a majority of the family of the Blackshore Barony, Ianthe Marin...the voices which have been silenced are legion, and it is up to us to answer in kind. Mercy is no virtue. My proclamations, as Voice and Heir of Darkwater, are as follows:
I hereby proclaim Lady Skye Blackshore as Baroness of the Blackwater, with all attendant duties and powers, and command that those peoples owing fealty or service to those lands acknowledge such.
I hereby call the banners of my vassals for the defense of the Watch: the Barony of Redreef, and the Barony of the Blackshore.
And finally:
I hereby extend a call to the Compact. The chance of our utter destruction seems high, and I face it with anticipation. However slim our chances, we will fight with rage against the darkness, as we have ever done, to defend the shores from the abyss that is the Darkwater Deeps. It is our duty, to the Sentinel, to Mangata, to Kennex, to Grimhall, to Thrax, and to the Compact and Kingdom that we impede the Gyre. May our Isle break him like a wave dashes upon the rocks.
I call on you to join us: the flags of the Thrax alliance that sail, the men and women of Darkwater that stand against the deeps.
- If you have a sword arm, stand with us and shatter the fleet of the last Marin.
- If you have Faith - join the Watch and add your prayers and blessings to our shores.
- If you have coin, food, steel or ships - spend them as we ourselves prepare to spend our lives.
Join us as we face the darkness.
