BY THE CHAMBER OF THE HEPHAESTUS SYNDICATE

In the name of the Forge and of the Ledger.
To all whom these presents may concern, greeting.

Be it known that a blade is tested twice: once at the anvil, and once
on the day it is needed. The smith answers for the first; the buyer
learns the second. A house that sells only the first test sells half
a blade at the price of a whole one.

Be it known that this Chamber marks nothing with its weight that it
would not carry itself, and will name the temper of any piece before
it is paid for, so that no buyer learns it on the field.

Be it known therefore that any house which would rather pay once for
good iron than twice for cheap iron may write to the Chamber and state
its needs.

Errors and omissions excepted.

By order of the Crisis Council of the Chamber,
Coenraet de Koperen, Secretary, Bookkeeper and Steward pro tempore,
for and on behalf of the Hephaestus Syndicate.
Given in the month of June, in the third year.

Goed ijzer, eerlijk gewicht.

The young sapling asked when he would go to battle.  The elder trees shook their branches. 
Battle is to be avoided.  It is a failure of species to understand how to live with the land.
Yet, battle is done?  So why is this?  The poor sapling is confused.
Those that harm the land are like a disease.  Their branches must be pruned.  We do not fight for nothing.  We want only peace...

Woof!

FROM A LEADER'S DIARY - THE THIRTIETH MONTH
============================================

I. THE PATIENT TRADE
--------------------

A craftsman who learns one thing well is worth ten who learn ten
things badly. We have spent this year teaching rather than buying,
and I begin to see the shape of it: the teacher's month is the one
that pays back for ever. A sword is lost in a battle. A skill is not.


II. WHAT THE GROUND KEEPS
------------------------

Every country hides something from the man who does not know how to
look. The miner sees veins the farmer walks over; the herdsman sees
grazing where the soldier sees only open ground. It is worth asking,
of any land one holds, what it might be showing to a better eye.


III. A COURTESY
---------------

To the riders who carry goods and coin between the houses of this
continent: the roads are long and the weather is turning. May your
mounts be sure and your meetings well kept.

The Konungr was holding a great veitsla. The ale was flowing. The meat was gone. The hird was in a fine mood.

Then one of the warriors leaned forward and asked:

"My Konungr... how do you have such success with women?"

"Yes, yes!" the hird roared. "Tell us!"

The Konungr shrugged.

"It's simple," he said. "You walk up to a woman and ask if you can put it in."

The hird gasped.

"What?! You'll get hit in the face for that!"

"I have been hit in the face," said the Konungr. "But more often — I put it in."

It is getting hard to coordinate, looking forward to a more leasured pace.

The Chubbchubbs! are coming....

Hello Hydra, how are you?

"Hmm..." pondered Badvoc. "It seems quiet."

"Too quiet?" asked Mungo, voice laden with portent.

"No, you idiot. we like it quiet. Not-quiet means... means... balrogs and liches and dragons, Oh! My!" replied Badvoc rather crossly

the ships slipped into the waves. the journey that lay ahead of them was just beginning. 

L'état major des Galadhrim se réunit sur le champ de bataille d'Eriby. Les conspirateurs ont enfin été éliminés. Seul le sorcier noir instigateur de toutes les attaques nargue encore l'alliance dans sa tour magique. Il dispose encore d'un allié de poids avec l'hydre du nord et il attend avec impatience les lords Ai.
Galadriel est pensive, doit elle renforcer les frontières, doit elle éliminer les dernières menaces avant l'arrivée des renforts...
Vingt et une batailles ont été menées, vingt ont vu la victoire des Galadhrim, seule la première attaque des conspirateurs à été un succès...
Mais les troupes Galadhrim ont besoin de repos.
Décision est donc prise de renforcer les frontières, la destruction de l'Ennemi attendra encore.. 

You're out on the road but you got no destination

At the last minute, we decided to call off the capture of the town, fearing inevitable losses. Instead, we hastily reinforced our forces so that the losses would fall more heavily on the other side after a month. 

Did they arrive yet?

war nearby, hopefully not going to come close to us.

-Insert Nebula Fact Here-

We're number one!

The Four Winds military turned around, ready to leave the dragon's cave. There were bog things to slay in the swamps, and then a rogue ice dragon taking a summer holiday in the southern plains! Suddenly, they heard a roar from behind them. A new dragon had already taken over the old cave! They went back to slay the foul beast, and discovered this one hoarded strange amulets of a foreign design.

I am disappointed in my partner, who looked quite respectable and confident, but continues to run cowardly and lose our lands. I'm sorry that I joined his company. I have to negotiate with the winner before I lose everything I built with my own hands.
