Title: The Ehlerdah Monastery
Post by: Tovi on September 17, 2012, 08:20:13 pm
The little village of Ehlerdah is organized around the Grey Order's monastery.
The villagers provides food and goods to the monks while they pray for them.

The village is catched into a wide  forest and has low agricultural output. The men spend their time to hunt boar in the forest. Or working at the leather tannery.
The tannery produces leather jackets, leather covered shields, parchment etc.
Women grab some fruits and roots in the forest.

Ehlerdah produces the best leather jackets of Calradia and obviously the best boar spears.
Here is the typical Ehlerdah boar hunter :

I like where this is going. I would like MW boar spear for myself but i think Grey monks will try to point it to my head rather than hand...

The Grey Order is looking for peace and we forgive all ancient wars. As long as we have no official conflict occuring, everybody is welcome.

One day, "they" came from nowhere.

That day, most of the men were hunting in the forest.

"They"  ran into the village and killed everybody, women, children...

When the men came back, it was too late. And they saw the criminals. A band of naked half-human half boars pillaging everything, killing the last child and raping the last woman.
The fight was brief but savage. Those daemon's broods fought like wild animals. What could have done our poor and peacefull villagers ? They all died, probably eaten by their foes. But they took 74 of their 142 cursed lives back to hell.

When the few monks arrived, all they saw was devastation.
Sadly, Kris Tovi the Grey decided to withdraw the monastery before the Horde arrive and burn everything.
The pious community just had the time to take the most sacred parchments and few equipments before abandoning the place.

Now, they march toward the Grey country, toward security.

 When Kris Tovi had a last look at the Ehlerdah monastery, he saw a column of smoke. The monastery is no more.
 Savages had took back control of those countries. Peace and Civilization has gone away with the wind of war and bloodlust.

Kris Tovi The Grey is now know as "The errant".

Monks? More like murderers and madmen. We, the (naked) peasants of Ehlerdah, were living our harmonous lives when an army of 100 armed men came out from nowhere to take our lands. Dozens of unarmed peasants died to the murderers' weapons but eventually they succumbed to our sheer will to save our wives and cattle. Thus Ehlerdah stayed as a harmonous community free of tyranny even though this so called "monk order" wanted to take this from us.

The vote was more acceptable than the invasion ...

Everyone knows you cheated during the vote. You threatened everyone who wasn't going to vote for you. Peasants freed themselves.

The proletariat of Ehlerdah is now truly free - from the imperialist clutches of the Grey Order "monks", their archaic religious dogma, the oppression of the aristocrats and the burgeois, worries about personal finances, burden of private property and an uncertain future! Revolutionary forces across Calradia rejoice at this tale of success! :)
