~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Letter to Dragon Watch~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Greetings Captain Thomas,
It has been found out through travelers and merchants to the Northern Regions of Atenveldt that Angus McRoberts, a bandit baron in his own right, has laid claim through inheritance to the lands. The deed to the land for the Northern Lands will be up for grabs at Highland’s War on June 13-15 to the mercenary unit that takes the field and wins the war. The Baron of Ered Sul after the war last year with the Baron of Sun Dragon, a poor crop and a harsh winter has depleted the baronial coffers of funds.
So my brother in arms, it looks as though the Thug Nation Army in which the Barbarian Freehold Alliance will be taking the field to take the deed of these Northern Lands from all others that challenge us. I will be brewing and preparing for this event to ensure that the alliance will have enough beer to pay for those that we hire and will not be able to make it to Protero War this year, but have full intentions to making it to GWW where I look forward to fight againwith the might of Dragon Watch, unless you can make to Highland’s War.
I would appreciate any help if you have contacts in Barony of Starkhafn to advertise that the Thug Nation Army is hiring hardsuit, rapier, target archers and artisans for this war for all war points will be counted and each category will be paid mercenary forces to win the deed to the Northern Lands of Atenveldt. If you have contact with Baron, tell him that we will be fighting against Landsknecht and that he needs to bring his song with him. There will be no evening of sides because this is a mercenary war.
Yours in Faith,
Brother Tomas

Our Thane has returned from Estrella alive. We rejoice because he has brought many good stories to share. We have a contract for next war! At Estrella our household received favors from the Barbarian Freehold Alliance, what an honor. And some delicious honey meads and brews for us to taste. Thomas, Katrina, Connor and Heather successfully made the journey.

A Messenger has arrived from the Kingdom of Atenveldt. There is word, to the North, a small uprising is beginning. Dragon Watch, standing sentinel since our time in the Shire of the Burning Sands, is most eager to hear more news of this rebellion.
