I hope we will all have a dandy time smashing our brains out and grinding our bones into dust:D Witch-King looking forward to meeting you on the field of battle. Neutrals please feel free to drop us a line so we can figure just what it will take for you to assist us in the stemming of the tide of evil scum from covering the Middle Earth.
Have you truely seen the light? Forgive our skeptical nature but Sauron’s minions have spouted sugared words before. Prehaps a guesture of good faith- like disbanding your army at Goblin Gate? <grin>.
We look forward to a spirited and well-fought contest.
Northmen, Dwarves and Sinda, don’t expect to stay for long around the shores of Rhun. We are right now sharpening our daggers and swords, which are primarily meant for you.
Easterlings, and all other neutrals by the way, you are welcome to contact me on:
All Neutrals Please Note: The Dark Servants are already frantically exchanging emails. We have also set up our yahoo group already. We have a broad mix of experience and enthusiasm and would love to open communication with you. Even if you are planning to go Freep then get in touch anyway, it would be good to hear from you!
The residents of Umbar send greetings to all nations. It would seem that the strife which has long been brewing is about to come to a head. We welcome emissaries of all nations to open a dialogue with us. It is our hope that peace may prevail as long as possible. This does not mean that we shall not also prepare for war. The time may come to choose sides, and we intend to be ready when it does. As a people, we respect might and competence. We also respect wisdom and sound judgement. Our emissaries in the land will be watching how nations on both sides of the coming conflict comport themselves. We also value information and welcome the same from any source.
Our nation is a strong one, but our borders are small. All nations in Middle Earth feel the bite of war preparations, and the need to expand is great. We would humbly request that our borders be respected and not infringed upon without permission, by settlements or armed forces. Included within this missive is a map with roughly drawn boundaries. These boundaries, we feel, are a fair representaion of what we consider the borders of our nation. We have little enough room to expand and trust they will be respected. We shall conduct our own affairs in a like manner.
Lastly, as a neutral nation, we will freely conduct business with either side in the coming war. There are those in the land who make their business by spreading rumors and whispering in shadows. We wish to disarm these rumormongers here and now by saying up front that we will deal with Free and Dark alike. It is our perogative to do so as a neutral nation, and doing so does not indicate a desire to ally with either side. That being said, if our confidence is requested regarding certain information, it will be granted, untill such time as we declare an allegiance.
Hopefully these words have made clear our feelings on the state of Endor and our role in it. We hope they have not fell harshly upon any ears… they were meant only to inform. We now set the bargaining table and invite all emissaries to come and sup at it. Respecfully we request that no orcs or trolls be sent (we tend to lose our appetites in such company).
Thank you.
Lord Angamaite,
Captain in Chief,
Corsairs of Umbar
And to our neighbours the Corsairs while you ask much in extending your borders up to our population centres we agree that we have space to expand in different directions. No Harad pop centres will appear within your lands!
Witch King, your reign in North is over.
Neutrals, we lords of Cardolan wish you all only peaceful prosperity (for awhile at least).
Feel free, anyone, to drop a line: lordofarda@earthlink.net
