[Creamsteak]

Recently, the beautiful city of Silverymoon, the Gem of the North was assulted by the Netheresse, Thay, and Halurra. This act of terror caused thhe deaths of countless innocents.

I call for all LAWFUL and RIGHT-MINDED peoples to gather together and denounce this action. I may not agree with everything that Arkanyl has written, but acts of violence will not solve anything.

I propose that my readers refuse to due buisness with thayan and Haluraan merchants and that no hospitality be given to them or the Netheresse. Let them know that YOU DO NOT APPROVE of there actions.

Hannover Fist, Loremaster

A simple letter is sent to Hannover Fist,

Dear Hannover,

Here is a free copy of the Encyclopedia of making war on Toril. This is a signed copy. Would you please speak to me in private concerning an alliance of sorts? I could always use other venues to sell my publication from, and you seem quite suitable.

(OOC: Yeah, but this is for sponsorship for a publisher. That's something that you can definitely split with other people.)
Gustaf sends a letter to Thay's leaders, every last one of them,

Dear Exalted and Heroed leaders,

Please put yourselves on the line of Victory. My name is Gustaf, a lowly publisher, and warmaster. My guidelines to dealing with power on Toril have pointed out a danger you have taken yourself into. Janos Audron is a traitorous, and remarkable individual. He would follow the guidelines set in chapters 4 through 6 of my books, concerning dealing with heroes, martyrs, banemasters, and undead writers.

I have a master plan to deal with those who have betrayed your secrets, one of great force and implication. For a meager 10000 gold pieces per set (75% off the cover price) we will send you a copy of my grandeous tome, and an invitation to the organization meeting against those enemies which have appeared in this changing time. Don't be held back, we can save the secrets from the journalistic masses.

From Chapter Three:
The Deep Dwarven Kingdom was distroyed with the arrival of the Illithid. Hundreds of thousads died or were enslaved. The Dwarven king himself died in feirce battle against the intruders, leaving the fate of thre people to his three sons: Naug, Olor, and Daur. Naug and Olor gathered all that they could, and led their people through the underdark away from the Illithid and there ancestrial home. Daur and his followers refused to leave, instead choosing to fight the Illithid and reclaim the deep holds. To this very day...

From Champter five:
The Korobuku are decendants of dwarven outcasts who settled the surface during the Deep Dwarves Reign, long before the Illithid wars...

From Chapter Five:
Goblins and Dwarves seem to share a root language. Though corrupted ny the influence of Hobgoblin and Bugbear languages, many of the most basic words are the same in both Goblin and Dwarf. "Kludgaljh:, which in both dwarven and goblin translates into Berzerker or "Axe-Idiot", The words for Father are the same, as is the words for Gems, cavern and king. But more telling is the flesh. Dwarves have a dormant gland in there abdomin, called a Raugh Gland. No other race in Faerun has it except one, the goblin. However in the goblin, the Raugh Gland is not dormant, though it serves no useful purpose. It seems to greatly speed up the Goblins metabolism, which may account for there short lifespans and voracious appitites...

TO SERPENTEYE

Hey there, my old friend! Welcome to the 4th IR (I swear, it is actually working. It's a miracle!)

Yes, Edena, it's a miracle. And that, of course, makes you God .

You have offers of sponsorship from:

Calimshan, Amn, Tethyr, Lantan, the Vilhon Reach, Chessenta, Unther, the Thayvian-Halruaan Alliance, Thesk, Murghom, Dambrath, Luirien, Ulgarth, Sembia, the Dwarves of the North, the Dwarves of the Great Rift, the Dwarves of the Old South, the Gnomes of Faerun, Hillsfar, Zhentil Keep, Luskan, Westgate, Baldur's Gate, Skullport, the Dalelands, Impiltur, the Great Dale, Damara, Vaasa, Luruar, the Silver Marches, and even the Free Peoples of the Moonshaes. The Ffolk of the Moonshaes would also sponsor you.
(Var the Golden would sponsor you, but they are already taken. Ditto Waterdeep.)

[/B]

[OOC

Wow! And I can take them all? Really? I accept the offers of sponsorship from: Halruaa, Calimshan, Amn, Tethyr, Lantan, the Vilhon Reach, Sembia, the Gnomes of Faerun, Westgate, Baldur's Gate, Hillsfar, Zhentil Keep, Damara, Vaasa, Impiltur, the Great Dale, the Dalelands, the Free Peoples of the Moonshaes. The Ffolk of the Moonshaes, Thesk, Luskan, the Dwarves of the North, the Dwarves of the Great Rift, the Dwarves of the Old South, Chessenta, Unther, Skullport and Luirien.

I'll strive to do them all justice, encourage trade and the expansion of knowledge and industry.

I won't take the Thayvian or Luruar and the Silver Marches as a faction (that is the purpose of this thread, right? To pick player factions in an IC way?) since they have already been claimed but my PC will present his treatises to them as a gesture of friendship, mutual growth and cooperation.

Where is: Dambrath, Murghom and Ulgarth? If I know where they are I may pick them as well , though I'm plenty powerful already.

Heh. LOLOL.

Serpenteye, you receive support from about half of those powers.
Some, have already been claimed, so you cannot take them now.
Others, won't support you because they are enemies of others on the list.

I will update you on the roster now.
