A Vardakkian Note

(( OOG: This note is written in the Vardakk tongue. You must possess this Cultural Literacy to read the following message. ))

I see at least one of theses idiots understand our language, but yet she claims we spread discord. Last I checked a majority of Gaaldron worships Enax the god of authority and order, so tell me how that is dark.

As for spitting upon Duke Balliol, we have split blood and had our blood split for this empire without help from Balliol. For multiple months, we held a city important to him and yet received no reinforcements from your empire. Gaaldron has lost lives for your duke, but what have we received in return so far? NOTHING! So think on what you say, follower of the so-called "god king."

Please, do tell us why we should still send our families to help your pathetic excuse of a war ...

True Son's a Gaaldron,

Howzit any different from back home fer an orc. They say fight, we fight don't matter if we got no chance of survivin. That's what orcs do, saying other wise gets you sent to the fightin pits or worse an i got the scars to prove that true.

Such Philosophies aint suited fer our kind, Enax says fight, we fight, Enax says die we die. Same fer gobbos, and ogre's. Most Hobbos are safe from that, too important i suppose but not all.

Far as the Shite talkin Humans go, pay them no mind, most of them are pretty mighty with a pen, but come face ta face with an orc and they crumble asking where there god king is, To ignore them is a mercy, and a smart person only shows mercy when they know there is no risk, there is only no risk due to ones overwhelming strength, over whelming strength is proof of enax's will or so I'm told.

Grell,

Not all of us tremble in fear at the thought of a good fight. Perhaps someday you might let me try my luck against you to prove my worth. I always welcome new opportunities to hone my skills.

(In common)

I got me some scars too from the very same pits. Orders are orders an I follow em, but teasing the weaker ones has always been a relaxing thing fer me. Words on paper mean nothing, and seeing em get so worked up over some ink is refreshing.

Those you see on the battlefield are worthy. The words you share there, in between swords aiming for yer chest, and hands fer yer neck, are what should be heard.

If the message is translated correctly, I can't actually say I entirely disagree. I have nothing but respect for the warriors of Gaaldron, they're skilled, honorable and brave, and while I appreciate having them on our side instead of opposed to us, it's our war, it's our country, we should be the ones fighting for it.
