Conqueror's Blade Lore
Royal Letter

O Great and Glorious Conrad Xl, Eternal Ruler of Ostaria and Protector of Augolia, your most loyal servant Waldheim hopes this letter finds you in good health. Long may you rule.

You must have seen that the once-in-a-thousand-year blizzard has descended upon your land, just as the prophecy said. Close behind was the legendary Desecratois, a blight upon the living.

Due to the heavy snow hindering travel between cities, we do not know when the messengers we've dispatched to other cities can return with news from them. You must be very worried about your subjects, Your Majesty.

However, you need not worry. I will work tirelessly to protect the land you've granted to me. The Desecrators will meet their end here.

Eternally your servant,
Loyal Protector of Huegelstadt, Waldheim

O Great and Glorious Conrad Xl, You are the Glory of Ostaria, the Father of History, and the Benevolent King. You are most merciful, and may your reign be eternal.

Some Weinrebe refugees braved the blizzard to flee to Huegelstadt. According to them, an army of Desecrators flooded their country and were unstoppable. One after another, they razed the towns in their way, sparing no one.

I believe the city's defenders fried to resist, to no avail, and lost the fief you bestowed upon them. It's not that your subjects are unfaithful, nor is it that they are not brave enough to fight the enemy - they simply adoped the wrong strategy and executed the wrong tactics.

As a result, I have decided to bring all our defenders into the castle. Once the people gather together and resist the invaders with all their might, at the right moment, we will pour out of the castle and fight back against the exhausted Desecrators.

This strategy is our last resort. It is a strategy désigned to prevent the loss of the territories you have given us, so that we may continue to be graced by; the light of your rule.

Eternally your servant,
Loyal Protector of Huegelstadt, Waldheim

O Great and Glorious Conrad Xl, You are the Revered Lord of the Eternal City, the Supreme King, the Defender of Ostarian Might. May your prestige dispel the cowardice of lowly persons such as myself. May your bravery deter impetuous invaders.

I have been guarding the castle for several days, fighting off the Desecrator onslaught. The enemy has beat against our castle gates, they have roared outside its walls and fired countless arrows through its windows. We have not given up our defence out of fear, nor did we lose our forces out of incompetence. The banner of Ostaria will eternally fly over the town of Huegelstadt.

However, I still find myself unsatisfied. I still await our opportunity to charge out of the castle and fight back. When everything subsides and peace has returned, I will return to the city and beg forgiveness from Your Majesty.

Eternally your servant,
Loyal Protector of Huegelstadt, Waldheim
