TO EVERYBODY:
An official notice is sent throughout Oerth, it reads thus: "The faction known as the 'Dark Union of Oerth' shall henceforth be known as naught but the 'Union of Oerth.' This is one of our many efforts to strive for neutrality after our many bloody mistakes in the past."
-----
To the Gem Dragons:
Kas appears before them with a large entaurage of planars, warriors, and constructs. He speaks,
"Great representatives of Dragonkind, I stand before you with an offer of alliance.
I am the one known as Kas the Terrible, slayer of Vecna and Tharizdun. Perchance you have heard of me through tales of times long ago, times known as the Arcane Age now. I serve as the co-leader of the Union of Oerth.
Should you of great wisdom choose to ally yourselves with us you would stand to gain much. Firstly you would have the land of the Crystalmists, Hellfurnaces, our newly conquered land that was known as the Tilvanot Peninsula, the Lordship of the Isles, and the Iron Hills to call your own.
Additionally, you will be supplied with a large amount of workers, while not slaves, their utter devotion to the God-Emperor means that also unlike slaves, they will be willing, no, eager to do what work you ask of them, and thus will be much more efficient than slaves while still following your will to the letter.
Also, as you undoubtedly know in your infinite wisdom, the Union of Oerth is one of the largest factions existing on the planet. From our extensive mines and our undersea holdings in the Shauhagin Empire, we can supply you with rare metals and treasure from the depths of the earth and ocean.
Not only this, but we will allow you first access to new technology we discover, as we discover it. On a final note, you certaintly have heard of the great power of the magic from the arcane age. We of the Union of Oerth, should you choose to ally yourselves with us, pledge to you the secrets of 10th level magic as soon as we acquire them, and we will research quickly.
You have also spoke of allying with those powerful enough to survive conflicts and seize victory, Indeed, you will find few if any more powerful than the Union of Oerth on this planet. We offer positions of nobility for every one of your kind, now and forever into the future, your place will be secure at the political and economic forefront of our people.
Our spoils of war will be given to you so that you may have first choice of anything you should so desire. Yet, this is not all, any secret that the Union of Oerth holds, any technology we have, any magic that we know, should you choose to ally with us, will be yours. Our huge libraries of ancient knowladge, newest suits of armor made from the 'lifeblood' of Oerth as some have called it, our extensive factories, all shall be devoted to your wishes foremost of any in the nation.
A last point is the creation of a position in the government, for the leader of your kind, as executive director of the lands we will bequeath to you should you choose alliance with us.
Great dragons, the choice is yours. I ask that you remember thus when choosing though: I, along with millions from across the lands of the Union of Oerth, would be honored to fight alongside you in battle, and to be allied with you in peace."
At this, Kas drops to one knee and places his sword in front of him on the ground, a symbol of both great respect and a wish for peace between the UO and the Gem Dragons. All others in his entourage drop to both knees, bowing with their faces to the ground as they do so, and wait like that for the dragons' descision.
