But talking is half of the fun 
Indeed. I'll be honest, you seem like a decent guy. Disorganization got us into this mess as one hand wasn't noticing what the other was doing. We got backed into a corner. Perhaps if it was just you making a show of strength, it could've ended diplomatically (though the chance of it ending amicably had been lost).
Harpag the Grey however is arrogant and a warmonger. He lays claim to the title Lord of Praven when neither he nor anyone owns a city yet. His so-called terms mock us with every word and slander our name. The Grey Order needs to be defied before it manages to cow every faction into vassalage simply by threats. It is unfortunate that we must fight you as well, for I think we could've cohabited had it not been for The Grey. But if we must fight, so be it. I will saddle up with my fellow knights and refuse to go quietly into the night.
