Salutations to all The Chosen of Aldrip,

My name is Richard Plantagenet, the Duke of Gloucester of England and the son of Duke of York. My time in this world may be merely a blink of an eye compared to some of you who have been residing here for over a full calendar year, experiencing the change of all four seasons under the sky. However, during my brief stay I have come to notice that there are plenty of wrongs in this world, which threatens the peace of our lives here. Now, some of these wrongs might be out of our control, such as the afflictions plaguing our environment. Or the activities of the council. However, this does not mean that we are completely powerless.

It has come to my attention that thee has been a several times when we have been faced with a violent threat and an attack, be it from monstrous creature from the depths of the ocean or a curse spreading among ourselves. I fully believe that we, as a community, could benefit from organizing ourselves so that we might be prepared when the next crisis arrives to our doorsteps.

I call forward anyone with any combat training, be it from military training, self-taught or magically oriented, and share their knowledge to those who might lack skills in self-defense. It is not in my intention to position myself as a leader, nor a raise an army, but to strengthen our teamwork and cooperation as a community. I am myself experienced knight who fought and served my king in a civil war known as War of Roses, and currently I'm learning the usage of firearms under the tutelage of Mr. Valentine. I am willing to train and pass down my knowledge to anyone who is willing to learn. However, I am aware that I am out of my depths and that many of you possesses abilities both as fighters and as tacticians that I could not even fathom. Which is why I sincerely hope those individuals to answer my call and step forward and help create a safer city.

Signed,
Richard Plantagenet, The Duke of Gloucester

teaching people basics of self-defense and combat skills will be helpful for them in case another attack happens.

but enlighten me, how would you proceed this issue?

[rebellions]

first, I'd stop pretending that people can cooperate and be all chummy with each other without it leading to more conflict
then I'd leave everyone to fend for themselves
survival of the fittest and all that
I'd say problem solved but there was never a problem to begin with

[traumaticus]

quite brazen words coming from the man of church.
people are known to be able to cooperate and find unison if the cause is right.

[rebellions]

pretty sure it's common knowledge I ain't no saint
yeah sure
until there's a disagreement and it all falls apart

[traumaticus]

i am not surprised to hear that. you did display a splendid performance of blasphemy the last time i met you.
that is why you have a leader.

[rebellions]

and you intend to become this oh so benevolent lord for the rest of us?

[traumaticus]

i am nowhere near arrogant enough to raise myself above the others like that.

[rebellions]

at least there's that
if anyone tries to name themselves a leader of this place, I'll be the first to kick their ass for it

[traumaticus]

you must not be fan of the inx either, then.

[rebellions]

as long as they don't try to order me around it's whatever
