Introduction
A female cyborg, the self-proclaimed Queen of Keldos, is now willing to conquer the other states to finally achieve a long lasting peace. Will you join her or do you rather see her plan as an evil scheme brought forth by utopian ideas?
The land: The land is made up of many terrains such as deserts, plains, wastelands, forests and mountains. It takes about a month to travel from one side of the continent to the other by foot. Vehicles are rare but even by vehicle it takes a couple of days.
Magic is possible. There are some people who are known as techno-witches or techno-sorcerers.

When he told her that they needed to make a detore, and asked if she wanted to come along or go agead, she already made up her mind.
"I'm coming with you." She smiled and continued, "You saved my life, and now you need help, it wouldn't be right if i didn't go with you." She was now standing up straight, hoping this village wasn't to far off, seeing how sunset wasn't for another hour or so. "She got beside him and said, "How far are we going?"

He was heading for a hunting ground outside of the city walls, but since it was verboten for Villius to leave side exits, he had to check with the guards at the main gate. It wasn't to be. Villius had just drawn in sight of the gates when he was confronted with the sight of a very loud man harassing the gate guard, who rushed past him soon after he was released from a neck-hold by the belligerent, stinking of fear and what he assumed to be urine. 'Isn't that just great,' the warchief thought to himself, grinning wickedly. 'I needed an annoying asshole to beat to death, and lo, The Great Ones have provided for me.' He let out a low chuckle that was anything but good-spirited, flexing his fingers and feeling the joints pop one by one.
He approached quickly, his feet all but shaking the ground as he walked, making his best "You just made a horrible decision, punkass" face. "Heard your little speech back there, girl scout. Something about being the "Defiler of Nations"? Puh." He spat on the ground at Nogond's feet. "If you were half of the 'grand conqueror' you make yourself out to be, I would think Keldos would've heard news of your conquests by now; and I haven't heard anything about you or anything related to you." He scowled, no longer smiling in the least. "So unless you have some proof of your conquests to show me, you're just another egotistical punkass immigrant to me. And you'll have to wait in line for an audience with the queen, just like all of the other egotistical punkass immigrants." He dug his heels in to prove a point.
"And if you got a complaint, well then, I suppose you'd have to bring it to me." He laughed again, a sound like tectonic plates shifting.

"So," She aimed at Sixty, "You thave a thing for damsels in distress?" She looked at him, remembering he called her a delicate princess. However, before she could answer, another thing popped in her head, "So, you decoded the note, where to now, big guy and boobies?" She said, not realizing she called Kate that.

He then started to walk around the warrior analyzing him with his augmented eyes. "However I didn't come here to wage war. That is the last thing on my agenda today, but I came to speak with your queen as I have a proposition for her. An agreement you might call it. So unless you are allowed to speak for your queen then our discussion is pointless, but I will be honest with you, if I can't meet your queen to discuss peace, I will assume your cute little nation is hostile towards me and I will have no choice, but to return at a later date with my Cybermages." Nogond said with emphasis on the Cybermages. He then stopped infront of the warrior and started to shoot lightning between his hands.
" As you can see I have access to technology far beyond what you have, in fact my entire army has access to this. We don't even have to scavenge for it we can build it ourselves. So I will make this clear for you. Let me speak with your queen or I will leave. Then I WILL come back with my army. I WILL capture you for your arrogance. I WILL then burn the entire city to the ground and destroy everything that you hold dear. And in the end you will beg me for death and I will not grant you that."
Nogond then signalled his retinue to move closer and prepare for combat. He had no idea how this brute would react to his threats. But with his retinue at his side he was more than adequately prepared for anything the city could throw against him before he managed to escape.

Also I see that you have something against slavery. Maybe it is for some ethic thing, but I really don't care. I need the slaves to do labor that us Cybermages can't do. I don't know where you have gotten it from, but my nation isn't a cruel one where we kill slaves for fun. Our slaves have rights and are after a few years of trusted service allowed to become Cybermages. In fact I have been trying to abolish that system as it is not efficient anymore."
Nogond took a deep breath and began another part of his speech which was beginning to annoy him greatly. He would have preferred to killed them there for their insolence, but he had promised that he would stop his warmongering and killing.
"Now that we have discussed the choices you have given me I would like to point out a few things you said. You insinuated that my technology was not advanced as I claim, but I have to disagree. You have recently started building railroad tracks which is quite cute, but we have started a construction of the first airfield in the world along with a zeppelin for long distance journeys and even made some prototypes of airplanes, but our real advancement is in cybernetics. I i hope you would guess from our name Cybermages everyone that is a legal citizen in my nation has received cybernetic upgrades which allows for quite some surprises in combat, when people see soldiers throwing balls of fire or shooting streams of plasma from their hands."
Nogond then turned back and pointed at the vehicles that he had arrived with.
" We have also begun building vehicles to aid in our exploration and expansion into the wastes. We have also found old blueprints that showed us how to built tanks and other armored vehicles."
After he was done with his rather long speech Nogond pointed at the queen and said. " Now that i have talked to much about pretty much everything I would like to say a few last things. We are both quite alike, we both care greatly for our countries and would do everything for them, except my methods are more extreme. However I don't try to justify anything I do. So before you try to judge me Great Queen. Look at yourself and ask. How many people have you killed? How many families have you torn apart, How many budding countries have your expansionistic policies destroyed? When I arrived here I had hoped to enter discussions with you about the future about our countries to prevent another great war, but I see no reason to trust you. You are also hypocritical and judge everyone, but don't let anyone judge you. I started this conflict with your guards to see how you would react and now that I have seen what kind of person you are I am not very pleased. I had expected that the legendary Queen of Keldos who was famous for her kindness would try to defuse the conflict. Instead you showoff your cybernetics and begin to insult me. Which is quite rude no matter who you are dealing with."
Nogond smiled under his mask. He hadn't created the conflict to test the queen, but it would be a good excuse. " Now after all of this I don't feel like making a deal with you and will take my leave from you, but know that you have created a potential enemy this day and if I ever find you encroaching on my territory I will see that as an act of war."
Nogond signalled his retinue that it was time to leave and began walking towards the vehicles. "Oh and as a last thing queen your cybernetics wouldn't have proected you against my lightning the heat from it would make the rubber melt or even burn and depending on what synthetic materials you use the effects could be even more disastrous."
As he approached the vehicle he hoped that the queen or her advisor would stop him so that he could finish his errand.

As Nogond approached his vehicle, Lenassia said: "Get in the vehicle and expect me to destroy your convoy single-handed, since I do not tolerate your kind of disrespect. I would recommend you to come for some tea to let the situation brew down. I want you to stay honest but not go hostile. If you wish to fight, I am ready. I already beat Villius and that way we spared the lives of thousands. A wise man wouldn't just turn his back. A man with fear wouldn't go away expecting to die. Maybe Villius has an idea." She then looked at Villius.

He turned slowly away from Lenassia, back to the warmage. "Defiler! Your non-aggression pact sounds like a fair deal. Do you mind outlining the terms you had in mind? As well as the trade agreements? Perhaps if you were to open your mind to us and place your terms on the table, we could pick through them and come to an agreement." He was acting on his own authority now and he knew full well. Lenassia could take action if she wanted, but deep down he knew that she couldn't possibly be this stupid. Keldos had no capacity to fight airborne opponents, Nogond had zeppelins. Villius had fought against technomancers before, and Lenassia (he assumed, by her bravado) hadn't. He gritted his teeth--he was going against his better nature here. He was a warrior, not a dignitary, and he was already in a bad mood from his encounter with Oryx.
God, he wanted to kill something right now.

" I see you have come to your senses. While I would prefer that we discuss this in a more secluded location. Do you have any location where we have our meeting. As for the treaties they are relatively simple. The non-aggression pact is the simplest one. We agree that no acts of aggression will happen between our countries and also to allow us to establish embassies to further relations. Any crisises and emergencies will be dealt with through diplomatic channels and war is to be avoided at all costs. As for the trade agreements that will require some discussion, but the basic idea is that...."
Before he could finish speaking Nogond felt something pulling his arm. Confused he quickly turned around and saw a child. His own child. Nogond took of his mask and smiled at the boy and said, "What are you doing here? I told you to wait in the car."
The boy stared at him and said, "I was bored and wanted to see what you were doing. And I am hungry."
Nogond shook his head and laughed, something he rarely did when there were people around. "Well I am not going to be angry at you, but since you are here you could introduce yourself to our friends." Nogond said as he pointed towards the Queen and her advisor.
The boy quickly hid behind him, but Nogond nudged him and the boy moved up to the two persons. "Hello. I am Will." THe boy then looked at Villius and asked, "Are you a monster?"
Before anyone could say anything Nogond grabbed Will and said," William, Can you please hold your ears while I talk. I need to discuss something with our friends."
Nogond put his hands over Will's ear and looked at the queen and Villius. "As you might guess this is my son and I want to make one thing clear. If anything happens to him while we are here I will make you wish you never have met me."
