Mythodea / Southern Seal
During the campaign to the Valley of Impermanence, it was discovered that the late Archon of Thorns, Vincent, along with the Nyame of the Roses and her Naches're signed a Non-aggression agreement with their mortal enemy, the Black Dynasty to prevent them from overrunning the realm. The Tulhien of Thorns, Ramirez of Sagara, learned about this pact near one year later during the above mentioned campaign. With a unique opertunity before him, Ramirez attempted to convince various nations of Mythodea to support his mission to exploit the remaining weeks of the contract for military gain.
During the campaign in the Valley of Impermanence, Baron Dagger of East Blackwood was the lord in charge of the Validar War Camp and thus it fell on him to make diplomatic decisions. When Ramirez approached Lord Dagger, Lord Dagger chose to support Ramirez in spite of counsel against it.
As the meeting with the Archon of the West, Colin, was coming to a close, a soldier of the Southern Seal approached the Validar camp exclaiming that Baron Dagger's presence was required at the camp of the Southern Seal by the Archon of the South. With Sir Maron of Zweiwasser as counsel, Baron Dagger went to the Southern war camp to treat with Eurestus, Archon of the South. The Archon was not pleased and ranted for a time about the stupidity of supporting the Realm of Roses in what he called Heresy.
The Archon seemed to be more angry with the Realm of Roses rather than Baron Dagger or the Duchy of Validar. Baron Dagger and Sir Maron asked questions and answered them learning more of the situation at hand. With this newly learned information, Baron Dagger and Sir Maron left the Southern Seal camp to the Fortress of Diversity war camp.
