Thread: joining the nations(darknessembraced & DK)

It took Tari and the troops a while before they finally managed to win the long battle. Once no more orcs were alive, the small group of surviving elven warriors returned to the city. She could feel a wound that she'd received begging for attention but she had a job to do first. Tari walked through the city to the city where the dignitaries were and she entered without being announced and waiting for permission. Walking forward into the main hall, she dropped a piece of armor onto the large table before the leaders and squared her shoulders while holding her head high. What news do you bring Lady Tari? one of them asked and she sent him a withering glare before speaking. These orcs... are of no specific clan. They wear neither symbol nor color of their people. And while fighting, I saw several different species of orcs. As far as I could tell, they were all rogues from different places. The men all tittered in worry and looked back and forth between each other while speaking in hushed voices. Lady Tari, is it possible that the clans are actually banding together to fight? one of them asked and she scoffed. I highly doubt it. Unless you've forgotten the true ways of the orcs from your lessons, you should remember that fighting for women and monies is not their way. Luckily, I have not forgotten the lessons taught to me by my father and teachers. she said. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have wounds to take care of. Turning, she left the hall and slowly walked through the city, stopping at the black smith for her repaired weapon before she returned to her home to rest and fix up her wounds. Vanya hid in the shadows, watching the chief as he did the purification ritual. As he stripped naked, she blushed a little but didn't look away as he covered himself in sweet oil, watching his rough skin soften and for a moment she wondered what it might feel like. However, a moment later she shook her head, some of her silver-white hair falling in her eyes. She was silent as he prayed before shielding her eyes when he lit the oil on fire. It wasn't the first time she'd seen the ritual, so it didn't bother her any more. When he finally spoke to her, she slowly stepped out of the shadows, her dark purple eyes flashed a little. She wore a pair of tight black leather pants and boots with a matching black leather vest over a grey shirt. The outfit wasn't her favorite thing to wear, but it helped her to blend in with her surroundings. One of the smaller kingdoms have sent out a prince for your head. she said gently, walking forward silently before dropping something on the floor near him. It was a piece of orc armor that was bare of any clan symbol or color. From what I heard, he doesn't want to fight you but he's doing it for his people because his father wants him to marry the high princess in order to help their people out of poverty. However, there's something strange going on involving the high kingdom. She slowly moved around the room and looked at different things before looking at the naked chief again. In my travels, I've noticed that many of the smaller kingdoms have lost the heirs to their thrones and their kingdoms are weakened from the attacks from these unmarked orcs. It's the same with the elven cities. However, there is one kingdom that's not getting attacked and that's the high kingdom.
