Journeying out from Camelot Castle, the entourage of King Glendall Pendragon travels up through Elmet, but for the first time in a long time,without their king.
Through Bayard and Lothia, they stop and send messengers off to the nearby townships, eventually getting the word to the Northern war camp, before turning northwest into North Hold.
"I am aware that in my dialoge with King Aaron Palatin, venerable and powerful king of North Hold, I came to unknowingly insult the very lives of the dwarven people.
Know, I acted not ignorant, nor unwise, but unknowing. Reports of the plague from north of the Lothian border had not yet reached me, and i so assumed that the dwarven natural edurance and persistance had spared them of these horrors. I should have known, the retched death magic of the Temple of Blood bend even the toughest and most resiliant people in Albion. Through my statements to King Aaron, it came across as though i cared not for the lives of his people in these dark times, and that even then i thought little of their ability to stand on their own. I sincerely apologize for appearing to portray the power of the dwarven people as insignificant, for that could not be further from the truth. For they are a magnificent people. Indeed, the skill of the dwarven soldiers is apparent, as they stood stalwart against the vile forces of Lothia for many moons, and did stand their ground where someone lesser would have faltered.
I also asked of them to stand down in their counter-offensive upon Lothia. This is not because i want to deny them of their rightful war, nor because i think they would not contribute considerably to that end. Neither of those are true, their war is justified, and they would easily have been victorius after we gave them relief. No, it was because of the direction that they mounted their efforts. I believe it only to be right to execute those that helped support Jorn Morrow and the Temple of Blood of their own volition, not the people that was forced by submission into the regime of their leader. For the people who had a choice, but stood by their side, doing nothing to prevent it, or worse yet wanted these attrocities made reality, they deserve a rightous execution. To die knowing that you deserve to. But I have not seen enough evidence that I will condemn the Lothian people as a whole.
With the advent of the access to the mirrorworld, that the suffering in the north has caused, we no longer face an easily tangible opponent. They are beings that revel in our missery and death. A gathered force trying to prevent just that might attract their disdain and provoke them to launch an assault. For this reason, I call upon the great warriors of North Hold, to stand with our troops and bolster our defences. That so, they can halt those that saw them dead or worse, and so that in safety, we of the alliance may help those that would stand alone with their governing body removed. Those, we reach out to, and do not kill them or rob them of their possesions, nor take from them the necesseties of their survival, but help them in this darkest hour. We let them pack all they have and need, and guide them on their way to continue their lives in better surroundings. We will help those people reach the safety of Goddoddin, where the king of Bayard has granted them entry.
May the goodness in our hearts reach those that need it.
Glendall Pendragon, King of Camelot"
