OOC: Uh, Canti, I as just looking up stuff and I read that 'true' necromancy is more or less impossible in the Harry Potter universe. if you're referring to the inferi from the Half-Blood Prince, those are raised bodies and pretty much Voldy's puppets, but they are mindless and are weak to light and fire. Also, a spell as potent as that should have some type of drawback, even if there isn't really one in the HP universe.
Also, I couldn't understand this post:
Who's Amy? @ Seatille: Not sure if you know already, but there are several differences between Tolkien orcs and orcs like Orgrim- Orgrim follows the Warcraft/Warhammer mold of orc. Also nice nods to LOTR and the Silmarillion with Azog and Huan.
I'll also need to update my map to accommodate Durotar.
IC (next post should have Orgrim in Seatille, and so it will be bigger):
Theodras Orgrim nodded upon Teyrn's words. "Though we are not mere orcs, the Durotan accept your thanks. I fear those dark sorcerors will be worse than the Warlock Dwarfs or the Vampires. While I and my shamans are capable of magic, most are capable of calling on the spirits to aid ourselves, as opposed to inflicting damage." Order of Mangai Mistika Kylma stepped forward. "The we will aid you. Our ice powers helped stave off the worst of the Vampyriad." Orgrim nodded. "Thank you for that. Your ice powers intrigue me, we should talk about this later, but we should leave now. We have already spent a lot of time here." He turned to Teyrn and Kylma. "I can explain our unexpected arrival in more detail while we travel to Seatille. While the spirits can guide me there, I trust the Seatillans can do a better job than I could." Orgrim gave a courteous nod to Thror, who scoffed, and the Durotan began to leave.

OOC: Kardas: I thought you would notice those, I read the Silmarillion a few months ago and my favorite part was of Huan, and the Goblins in Seattile are more intellagent than Tolkien's Goblins but not by much, but they do have more magic and can craft better weapons. IC: TheodrasTeyrn Cousland was wondering about the the situation in the city of Highever, was it under attack or already sacked or in some other kind of danger. But he could still bearly belieave that an orc would help a human especially one from Seattile as his were great killers of Orc kind many years ago during a war long forgotten by many and only known as the "War of the Black Dragon", so he knew that the people of Seattile would try to kill Orgrim and his kin. So Cousland turns to Orgrim "Orgrim when we get to Seattile you may want to get behind me and my men so my kinsmen don't try to kill you and the other Durotan. As my people hate anything that is orc related, and not to mention that the Templars will either want to kill you because of your magic or throw you in with the other mages that may try to kill you, but once your people help mine they will treat you like comrades and you will be honored guest. We shall lead the way to Seattile, all we need to do is go west." Knight-Captain Harlod of the Silver Knights thought that this meeting was the perfect time to try to get a Silver Knight Chapter house built in another kingdom, so he steps forword. "Pardan me my good lords, but I Knight-Captain Harlod of the Silver knights would ask for the king of Eorlingath's permssion to build a Silver Knight outpost in your lands closest to the vampire's lands to help guard your border and warn you of any invasion and train your people, if they want to join our order. If you allow it the Silver Knights can pay all the costs so it will not cost you anything." (OOC:This is before the messanger arrives, I would of done this sooner but I didn't have time) Rebel fortMartin after geting that telepathic from victor feels a bit strange, as it has never happen to him before and he tells no one as if his people found out he would be a dead man. Above Dragon's PeakRagnar knew what he must do to please his master and he would do it but from time to time he would get visions of what looked like a templar who was useing magic to trap a dozen dragons in stone and this man looked a lot like him, which was the strangest part to him. In his dragon form he would burn a few buildings in Dragon's Peak and then the Dragon Slayer's would chase after him and he would go farther into the mountains and then others likw him would kill the slayers, it was like that all the times before and this would be no diffrent.

OOC: Map got an update. Will also wrap up a plot thread that has been giving me problems since Gonz is no longer active. Also, this slight backtracking in Theodras is great because I forgot that Erkenbrand and his army is still there. IC:
Theodras, before everyone leaves: "I see. I shall be sure to do so," Orgrim replied to Teyrn. Marshal Erkenbrand and Thror listened to Harlod's words. "Do it I say," Thror began, "they've caused us nothing but anguish and blood." Erkenbrand thought a bit more: "This requires Theomer King's permission, but I see wisdom in your words. I shall send a messenger to the Khuzdul. In fact, we could even help you with your defenses- we need to tighten our defense past the river Esgaroth. I believe the vampires cross through there to attack." Thror laughed. "With your wooden constructions? Dwarven stonework is what you need. Once our fallen brethren have been removed from our gates, we shall begin building there. Ha! A new monument to our friendship." It was then that a terrified farmer arrived at the gates, scared even moreso by the greenskins loafing outside. The guards led him to Thror and Erkenbrand, who began reading the letter. "Amelia," Thror spat. "Arrogant wench. These vamps are never one for subtlety." Erkenbrand rolled his eyes before adding "We need those forts." "Consider your offer accepted," he said as he turned to Harlod. "If there's trouble with the vampires, we'd best split," Kylma added. "Five shall travel with me to Seattile. You six will remain here."
Kardas Border Forts For a while now the slaves of the Chaos Dwarfs were becoming angry about the lack of action by their masters. Discontent began to rise amongst them. As skies darkened above the forts and the air began to get cold, an old man riding a horse, surrounded by six heavily armored warriors dressed in grey and white arrived at the Dwarven constructions. The guards there quickly stepped out of the way for the Order of Mangai members as they climbed the staircase to view the masses gathered outside. The old man analyzed the armies in the distance, and spoke in a cold and detached manner. "At last, the time is right. It requires but a single spark. Nay, a single shard..." As he spoke, he condensed some of the moisture in the nearby air, and formed thin sliver of ice. Thin, but sharp and deadly. Using his powers, he sent the sliver hurtling towards on of the Chaos Dwarfen captains. The shard pierced the armor, but did not kill him. As he turned angrily to punish the slaves, another sliver killed one of the nearby orcs. Confusion resulted. The slaves had of course, done nothing, but they did not believe they deserved punishment for that. The discontent had reached its boiling point, as the slaves began to revolt against the Dwarfen captains, and as that happened, old interspecies hatreds that were suppressed by these captains rose yet again. Quickly, the assembled forces began fighting amongst each other. What was first a menacing and organized force became a free for all. However, the old man standing at the border forts was unfazed by all this. "I am Grand Master Curunir of the Order of Mangai," he finally said. "Dwarves of Kardas! Eorlingath! The time to strike is now! Let their foul presence be removed from your lands! Our lands!" Curunir clenched his fist, and as the wind picked up, snow began to fall from the assembled clouds.

Theodras Knight-Captain Harlod thanks Erkenbrand and Thror and decides that him and nine other Silver Knights will stay and get use to the cold (as he is from Northen Seattile which is warmer than Southern Seattile) and meet with any who may want to join or help the Order and get a lay of the land and he would be free to recuit anyone of any background and not worry about the Templar oversight if he wanted a Blood mage in his Chapter if there are any in these parts.
Seattilan Rebel Fort The Defenders ready themselves and barracade the gates, and ready every catapult. Beacons have been lit to warn the nearby cities of the attack.

Theodras It had been a while since the Durotan and the Seattilans had left. Thror and Order Member Reysa had left to the city's main hall upon reports of heavy snowfall near the Karadas border, while Erkenbrand decided to remain with Harlod. The messenger to Theomer King had also left, headed for the Horngard. "Once again, I thank you for offering to help protect our borders against the Vampyriad. Most unfortunate, the Dwarves are protected by the mountains, and the orcs are behind us, so are forced to take the brunt of any assault that might happen. But about your order, what is its history? I appreciate your zeal against these undead, but there must be some foundation for that?"
Seattilan-Durotan Army "Most intriguing," Orgrim said as he conversed with Kylma. "So your ice powers are strictly elemental in nature, and your bodies appear to be in possession of some sort of elemental reserve. "We aren't certain ourselves, but yes, our bodies are a conduit for elemental energy which we use for our powers. Granted, they can be emptied by overuse, but we are able to recharge them by drawing from natural ice and snow. Hence why we study in the mountains in the north. Among our element." Orgrim nodded and turned to Teyrn. "I admit me and my people are somewhat of an exception to our related kin. Tales have been passed down to us that we were more like those orcs, and that we once drew from Chaos magic. Fel energies which corrupted us. Of course, we did not care. Filled by bloodlust and rage we were in those days. We were plagued constantly by civil war and our number dwindled. Until one of our kin, lost in the mountains, discovered the intimate connection of the spirits with the land. He began to be able to call upon them, converse with them, be taught. The strength this spiritual connection provided us with is what saved my people. Although the damage had been done. The wars irredeemably damaged our homeland, and slowly, the resources we had left dwindled as well. We tried to heal the land, but we could not. We were forced to migrate. Only now have we found a place to settle. With my power I saved the human King Theomer from a deathly foreign illness, and in return for a place to call our own, we now prove our worth to all. That is why we come to help you."
Kardas Border Forts The snow was clearing up by now. The riots that broke out amongst the Chaos Dwarfs and their slaves had destroyed most of the army's cohesion. In the meantime, the Eodred and Dwarves took advantage of this with a quick cavalry strike piercing the heart of the remnants of the Chaos Dwarfen forces. This was enough to break the army, and as horse archers and battlewagons chased down the survivors, the others took to gathering the dead bodies and setting them alight into pyres. Curunir watched the smoke plumes rise. With a gesture of his hand, one of his ravens, perched on one of the forts, flew to him. Curunir wrote a message on a small scrap of paper and attached this to the foot of the raven. He brought the raven close to him and whispered something. Then, the raven took off, headed for the general direction of Theodras.

Theodras When Erkenbrand ask about the history of the Silver Knights, Harlod's eyes lit up "It's a mighty tale... Most scholars say that the founder of the Seattilan Kingdom, King Calenhad, was the first Silver Knight but that was just because his armor was similar to ours but not made with silver. The first Silver Knights were members of the Knights Templar during a time known as the 'Dark Ages' when the first werewolves came to Seattile, most say witchs are to be blamed as we hear rumors of Knights coming across them and being turned into werewolves. For many years we fought the werewolves but we were lossing more men than the werewolves it wasn't until five years into the "Dark Ages" that mages, smiths, and a few knights were able to make silver armor and weapons that could be stronger than steel. But we were never able to push them out of Seattile compltely so the Silver Knights remained and we were given power by the lords of Seattile to recuit anyone we saw fit." As Harlod continues several of the other Silver Knights begin to leave due to boredom and explore Theodras. "Well as I was saying... We were able to break away from the Templars through several laws passed by the Kings of Seattile. This allowed us to build massive forts around the Southern Seattile Forest, where most of the Seattilan werewoles reside but we were never able destory them because of the witchs. That is part the important part our history but I would not be able to tell you all of it for we do not have the time," Harlod looks around seeing that all his men have left, "And neither do my men, once the Order has a base of operations a libarry will be built that will house the complete history of the Silver Knights." Harlod than goes to tend to his horse and remove his armor.
Seattilan-Durotan Army Teyrn Cousland keeps on wondering what will happen once they enter Seattile as the Seattilans were never known for kindess towards Orcs or mages. "Again I thank you for your help and am honored to hear your tale about your people." Teyrn Cousland turns to Kylma, "Since you use the power of snow and ice you may find Southern Seattile to be a great place expect for the Dragons, Werewolves, and Goblins ."

OOC: Map updated BTW, Seattile, you can decide when our armies reach Seattile IC: Theodras Erkenbrand raised his eyebrow as he saw Harlod's men leave. This must happen more often, he mused. He nodded at the end and replied: "I see, Manwë willing, if we ever have peace, I'll be sure to visit."
By now Reysa had received Curunir's raven and the bird itself was flying back to his master. The message told of the defeat of the Chaos Dwarfs. "King Thror, I have received a message you should view." "From your Grand Master eh? I saw the raven." "Yes." Thror laughed as he read the message. "By Aulë, this is great news indeed! I shall return to Khuzdul as soon as possible. I'll be sure to send a force to Eorlingath's southeastern border while we construct our defenses there though."
Seattilan-Durotan Army Kylma smiled. "We managed to tame the cold-drakes in the mountains actually, so hopefully the dragons won't be a problem. I'm sure that we can offer our aid to you in quelching your mountains of these creatures once your lands are at peace."

OOC: Kardas with all that backtracking it might be a good time for the Seattilan-Durotan army to arrive in Seattile. Seattilan-Durotan armyThe army passes by several ancient stone forts that dot the Kingdom of Seattile's borders this sight is a delight to much of the Seattilan soldiers who have been away from their familes for a long time and start to cheer for this journey has taken them farther than any Seattilan army has gone before and it is finally over. Teyrn Cousland turns to Orgrim and Kylma "Ah, we have finaly made it it Seattile," he looks at the ruined stone fort, "That is the same fort where King Cailan gathered our army for this journey. The town of Lothering is nearby we can get more information on what is happening, there, and it might be best that the towns people don't see a 'Orc', so Orgrim you and your kin might want to stay here with the main force while I ride ahead." TheodrasKnight-Captain Harlod starts to hear Lady Amelia's words coming from beyond the gate while he is looking for his men. He starts to talk to himselft, "I figured this would happen, I should of never of removed my armor." He than rushs towards his quarters to put his armor back on".

OOC: @ Canti: Jumping over the highest walls in Eorlingath while sitting on a horse? Note that Theodras is basically, Edoras (Rohan's capital) with a different name. From what I can remember from the Battle for Middle-Earth game, Edoras' walls were four the height of a person and the gate five times as much.
IC: Seattilan-Durotan army Orgrim nodded. Kylma asked, "I think it's better that we stay with them in case something turns up, but I can send one of the five men under me along with you, if you request."
Theodras The guards panicked and ran off the battlements over the gate, but the gate stayed closed. Thror, who had been walking back with Reysa toward the gate. Both sped there upon hearing the words. Shortly after Amelia had finished speaking, a helmet/crown hybrid popped up atop the gate, with a bearded face below it. "Ah, Amelia! All alone? If there is anything that surpasses your race's disgusting existence, it is the ego that you carry. You will find no friends here!"
If Amelia did jump over Erkenbrand whirled around and unsheathed his sword as Amelia landed. Many Eorlingath and Dwarves did the same. Thror jumped off the gate and came down with a thud. "And Dwarves!" he said.
