Meet Llywelyn the Mighty - Bane of English Kings!

[Myth]

Llywelyn - meet a horde of free troops just spawning for Norway. All of them are better in autoresolve than yours. Now if I could only get them to attack you...

[Zim]

Yep, the King have arrived. As per usual Norway states their claim to Scotland, although shortly that will no longer be neccessary. Haakon has arrived to mop up the last few settlements.

[Myth]

Ireland up.

[Nightbringer]

I feel it is my duty to announce that Irish forces have been contractually hired by the Kingdom of Wales. They have besieged the castle of Caernarvaron and taken the town the Carlisle.
Irish forces will travel no further inland than this though so if English forces simply accept these loses no further conflict between us is necessary and the Irish crown will be happy to re-open trade lanes with England.

Wales up

[Myth]

Ireland shall lift the siege of Caernavernon or forever forsake it's chances of survival. It is unwise to ally with Wales, they may trick you with maps and big words but In the end, they are gasping for air and about to be put in their place. You have one chance to reconsider, Brian King, or we shall drive past Wales and into your island, and show you no mercy.

[Nightbringer]

Hmm, our agents information disagrees. It appears to us that neither Wales nor England is anywhere near defeat at this point in time, and we do not wish to see that become the case for either of your peoples.

We shall consider what you have said of course, but swearing to bring about our destruction only encourages us to move our forces further east and to aid Wales more.

[Myth]

OOC: Shouldn't we post this in the Diplomacy thread? Anyway

King Brian, though I am not of the blood of Henry and Edward, I uphold their values as they gave their lives for England. I answer kindness with kindness, and aggression with aggression. But I also add some more aggression, until those who have wronged me and mine are no more. You say you lay siege to a castle that was hard won and is our greatest advantage and victory over Wales, crippling their ability to raise levies against us. We say if you storm the walls we will retake it and we won't stop until we have had our vengeance.

Wales has taken some settlements from us, but they are losing breath and their forces are weakening. We have more land, more castles and more men. Llywelyn's brigands have split up and that was their biggest and most experienced troop. What Wales wants now is time to breathe and recuperate, though their only worthy castle is Gloucester. They will surely try to storm Nottingham though that will prove to be Llywelyn's last mistake.

As for Caernavernon, we have spent weeks with a full force of men trying to bring culture to the rebellious Welsh scum there. If you take it you will be pinned down there for some time, or risk rebellion the moment you step outside the city gates, as it's currently inhabited by Englishmen and Welsh alike, but with no Irish community to support you.

We have given you peace and have offered trade. Be sure to consider your options wisely as you now know the consequences should you decide to show aggression. I also still hold parchments with your royal seal, in which you swear you will take no part in the Welsh-English war. If you break your word now you will lose your honor and no one will trust you - certainly not Haakon to whom a warrior's word is sacred. And certainly not the Welsh who will see you trying to advance your own positions rather than earnestly help them in eradicating us.

(I had forgot this game had one, and now the bulk of the text is here so it will make more sense if my post appears here, I'm glad this has created a bit of political intrigue though :) )

As I mentioned earlier, it is actually the Welsh who hired us. They have promised us much if we return caernarvaron, their capitol, to them.
I would have you know that our greatest desire is that neither you nor wales be destroyed, we hope that eventually a peace agreement can be settled upon.

with that looking far away we think it only right that the Welsh, who have fought so nobly, do so with their capitol in their own hands that they may live on as a sovereign people.
While we are being re-compensated for our actions, our true motivation lies in this.

If London were captured by the Welsh and your people threatened with extermination, we would likely do the same for you, as we would for the Norwegians or any other. Wars of extermination are cruel and despicable things. As the victims of several attempts at extermination, we Irish see it as our solemn duty to uphold the nationhood of all who live in the British Isles, be they Irish, Welsh, Norwegian, or even English.

[Myth]

Llywelyn crossed the border first and attacked without provocation or a declaration. He has prospered by attacking during the night and pillaging across England. Caernavernon to him is not a capital, but an important stronghold that can replenish his armies. If you return it to him you will be directly aiding him in this war, and in a great way.

The only way for peace to be had between England and Wales is for all English territories to be returned to us, and we also keep Caernavernon or at the very least, give it to someone else who is not Welsh. We would also wish to execte LLywelyn the traitor and all of his raiders who have pillaged so many English towns. If those terms are not met then the war shall continue and we will fight with determination.
