A tale of Long Ago Taldor

Taldaria: I am Taldaria, the Empress of Ancient Taldor. You can tell us apart from Current Taldor by how we sometimes gain territory. I am also visually distinct from Current Taldor. Crowns have not yet been invented so on my head I wear Leaves. 

Belkzen: I am Belkzen, a Great and Terrible war lord of the Savage Orcs. My two skills are Conquering and More Conquering. I am the one who Belkenland is named after, but because this is Ancient Times, it is not named after me yet. Instead it is called Orcland.

Taldaria: Governing in my land is done a Lawful and Civilized land way. The Crown is worn by a True Empress, advised by a Senate composed of exclusively High Nobles and Reputable Gentlemen. They are Dignified and Composed as they advise the Empress.

Belkzen: Governing in Orcland is done in an Anarchic and Barbaric way. Orcs are all shoved into a Cave where they engage in Raucous Shouting and Vicious Insults. Every so often, we Behead each other using Specialized Orcish Beheading Axes.

Taldaria: The Barbaric Orcs and their Anarchic Governing sound most dreadful. I pray to Aroden, who is Still Alive because it is Ancient Times, that Orcland remains disunited and unthreatening. 

Belkzen: I, the great war lord Belkzen, have united Orcland. Every lesser war lord obeys my orders. The Raucous Shouting Cave only shouts my Will. My power in Orcland is absolute. Now it is time to turn our Specialized Orcish Beheading Axes on the whole of Avistan. 

Taldaria: O these Dreadful Tidings! Though, I must say, this Belkzen fellow sounds very Strong and Manly. 

Belkzen: I march on the Riverlands with the Great Army of Orcland. 

Taldaria: I will refrain from raising Great Army of Civilization to put down these Barbarian Hordes. That horrid Barbarian can have the Riverlands, as a gift. 

Belkzen: The Riverlands are Conquered! I drag all the High Nobles and Reputable Gentlemen to the Specialized Orcish Beheading Axe. Instead, the Riverlands are forced to use a Raucous Shouting Cave to do their Governing. 

Taldaria: O how Barbaric and Horrid are the ways of that Muscular and Chiseled Belkzen. However, I have a Brilliant Plan to spare Ancient Taldor from Conquest.

Belkzen: You will need to be quick with your Brilliant Plan, where do you think I will go as soon as I finish Conquering the Riverlands?

Taldaria: I now import the Specialized Orcish Beheading Axe and have all the High Nobles and Reputable Gentlemen of Ancient Taldor brought forth and Beheaded. I create my own Raucous Shouting Cave to govern Taldor. 

Belkzen: Do you think that Governing in the Anarchic and Barbaric way of Orcland will give you the power to raise a Great Army of Barbarians to equal my own? 

Taldaria: You misunderstand my intentions. 

Belkzen: Then why have you adopted the Anarchic and Barbaric Governing? What is your Brilliant Plan? 

Taldaria: I propose a marriage alliance!

Now this is a proper ending to Vile Scribe’s profession!  Mocking of everyone with several layers of insults!  She takes it with her, despite the risk, to store away safely for… well she’s not sure what she’s saving it for, but it still feels bad to let it be forgotten or trashed.
