The guards just grunts and mumbles something that sounds like "Dumme sørlendinger...". You stand there for a few more minutes. Scot unacustomed to the harsh winds blowing cold air shivers while the guard just stands there. Finally the door opens again. The second guards walks out with a man behind him. The second guard points to Scot and say to the man
" Hva er denne mannen sier?" the new man looks at him and smiles. "Well I haven't seen and one from the isles for a long time, Celtic? Or Anglo-Saxon like myself?"

"Irish to be exact. I am a diplomat on behalf of the United Irish Kingdom and I wish to speak of peace to your king." Scot was thankful for the translator and he was eager to negotiate.

by Rorukheim Thu Feb 02, 2017 3:27 pm

"Ahhh well it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Athelstan, I used to be a priest of the Catholic Church. And you are?" Athelstan questions

by Werjin Thu Feb 02, 2017 6:07 pm

"Scot MacDonald, official diplomat of the United Duchy of Ireland. We wish for an audience with your leader."

by Rorukheim Fri Feb 03, 2017 4:27 am

Athelstan clasps his hands together. "I'm sorry but King Ragnar is presently down south in the Mediterranean. But you can talk to Queen Skadi and his Son, Jarl Rogovan."

by Werjin Fri Feb 03, 2017 9:22 pm

"That," Scot replied. "Is very much appreciated. Show the way."

by Auldenland Sat Feb 25, 2017 10:03 pm

An anxious Aulden messenger appears at the gates- he is unarmed and in formal uniform.

by Rorukheim Sat Feb 25, 2017 10:55 pm

To Werjin
"This way to the Queen!"
You follow him into a large to a large room with a great fire in the middle. Two thrones stand in the the back with and large table. The largest one is empty and second one holds a proud looking women, next to her is a strange looking women with a giant raven skull covering the top of her face

To Auldenland
The guards look at the messenger. "En annen?" the first guard signs. The second one looks at the messenger. He asks the messenger "Hva er din virksomhet her fremmed?"

Igh nā pe nōrwen... Igh nod transpermen transper!
(I don't speak Norwegian...I need a translator to translate!)

by Rorukheim Sat Feb 25, 2017 11:28 pm

To Auldenland
Not understanding what the messenger said one the guards mutters something and leaves into the keep. The second guard still stands at the gate

by Auldenland Sat Feb 25, 2017 11:30 pm

The messenger repeats himself again this time only in English
I only know two languages please work with me here...well actually three...Aulden, English, and French...but that is all! Surley you should have someone here who would understand one of these languages!?

The guards continue to look blankly at him. "Kanskje vi bør få presten? Han snakker hans språk." says Guard two. Guard One sighs "Jeg skal få ham." He replies. He then disappears into the Great hall, leaving you and guard two standing there.

The Aulden man remembered his training and remained in his place while the guards were presumably getting help.

Finally a man, with a wooden cross around his neck,comes out with the second guards. He grabs the forearm of the messenger, and shakes. He's seems very friendly comepared the rest of the stoic people.
"Hallo friend! What brings you to Jorrvaskr?" He asks

by Auldenland Wed Apr 19, 2017 4:51 am

Can we talk peace here? This is ruses war and since they don't exist anymore this war effort of theirs should collapse as well

by Rorukheim Wed Apr 19, 2017 3:48 pm

(Use () when OCC. Also you already have a messenger here.)

by Auldenland Sun Apr 23, 2017 2:28 am

Okay let's go discuss there

by Auldenland Sun Apr 23, 2017 2:30 am

(I mean here)
The messenger eagerly waited for the preside to come translate for him

by Yaakovia Thu Sep 14, 2017 8:17 pm

Seven bearded men wrapped in woolen and fur clothes came from the coast, where one medium sized ship awaits for them. The one presiding the group is riding a black horse while the rest walk behind him.

"I am Joseph Meier, envoy of His Majesty the King of Yaakovia, and asking to be received by your King" said the leader of the group to the nearest guard.

by Rorukheim Mon Sep 18, 2017 5:12 am

Several guards approach the group. Most keep their hands on their axes. The leader approaches the led rider and says, "Hva sa du?"

by Yaakovia Tue Sep 19, 2017 1:31 am

"Vi har blitt sendt av kongen av Yaakovia og be om å se din" said the translator, who was standing left to the group leader.

by Rorukheim Tue Sep 19, 2017 4:36 am

Yaakovia wrote:"Vi har blitt sendt av kongen av Yaakovia og be om å se din" said the translator, who was standing left to the group leader.

The head guard nods his head.
"Du kan angi. Velkommen til den store byen Jorrvasker." He says before moving out of the way. The rest of the guards follow his lead and move aside.
As you pass through the massive, and beautifully carved gate. Runes and depictions of great battles cover it. Past the gate you enter the busy streets of Jorrvaskr. The city is massive and crowded. Home to over twenty-eight thousand, and a hub of trade and commerce for the Baltic, Germanic and Northern seas. You soon realize why its called the "Capital of the North". Banners of Rorukheim, depicting the God-Eater Fenrir hang throughout the city. Many spread rumors of why the banner depicts Fenrir... a local legend states that Fenrir's prison is under the city, in the fiery heat of the underworld. Other rumors are that the King himself is a descendant of Odin himself. Of course rumors may just be rumors. You spot the Palace of Wolves, a great stone keep that looms over the city on a cliff by the sea on the cities east side. Your party makes it's way through the busy streets, slowly going up. You finally reach the palace gate(Please view image in factbooks). The gate is open, with two guards standing by it. You spot several more watching over your part on the walls. To your left, the cliff face and the icy waters of Rorukheim. One of the guards hollers at your party.
"Hva bringer deg her til den store hallen Ragnar?"

by Yaakovia Tue Sep 19, 2017 11:26 pm

The Yaakovian envoy spoke in Hebrew and then the translator talked to the guard.

"Jeg er Joseph Meier, og min konge, Yaakov den første, sendte meg for å snakke om handel og utveksling av kunnskap mellom de to kongedømmene. Vår konge mener at våre to folk kan jobbe og vokse sammen vidunderlig." Replied the young translator.

The small group was standing in silence during the introduction of their leader. Some of them have travelled before, but except for the leader and the translator, none of them had left the homeland before. Although they weren't surprised by the sight of this alien people because they reminded them all of those Norse traders constantly arriving at the port of Haapsalu when the weather allowed it, they did were surprised by the strange architecture and the aesthetics of every detail. Of course most buildings back in Yaakovia were also made of wood, but in a very different style.

The guard scratches his beard.
"Yaakovia? Jeg har aldri hørt om den." he says. The other guards looks at him before saying, "Olav, la bare dem passere. De synes ikke så tøff. Sannsynligvis sørlendinger."
The guard, Olaf nods his head and says, "Du kan sende. Stallen er til venstre etter bestått porten. Du er i Huset av Ulvene, vil du gjøre godt huske at."
He moves aside as you enter. Snow falls as you look around the palace courtyard.
