Gargolock:
Stolen letter found on corpse of a courier on the streets of Hergig, the courier had a large pouch of gold and was running to the palace. Our spies upon scribing it returned it into the pocket of the dead courier as to not raise as much suspicion.
2493, 27th of Vorgeheim
Aldebrand,
I am charmed by your offer but my work keeps me occupied, a general in Reikland has offered a pretty penny for me to make him a new toy. He is paying handsomely as all Reiklanders do.
Your offer would take away the time I would spend making his weapon.
In order for me to go through with your offer you would need to pay me more then the Reiklander because I would not be able to complete his contract, and I would be risking my valuable life.
Your offer is a little quaint for a man of my skill, if you feel like you still want me to partake in your escapade then you might need to increase your budget.
If you wish to discuss finance please come see me in my shop, I hate righting profit on paper. Too many eyes might see.
I am Interested with that list of generals you told me, I am interested to work with Gottfied primarily. You seem frantic to find leaders Aldebrand. But do you have soldiers for them to lead?
Also may I ask why you are letting that criminal provide magical support to your armies? Frankly the main reason I am considering your option is so that I can find proof of Feldrant�?Ts crimes.
Sincerely,
Godwine Mueldorfer, Master of the Hergig Gunnery Shop.
Hello, It�?Ts me again. Things have taken longer then expected, But I still have a few things to show.
Aldebrand Ludenhof, Count Of Hochland
I got the plastic empire general kit on June 16th. I spent hours painting both the models and kept returning back to them. I tried Non Metallic Metal on both of them for certain parts. On some parts I painted a Metallic base coat then did non metallic highlights. On other parts it was pure NMM. Some parts just had metallic paints. For a first try it went pretty well. Not perfect but it was my first try and I expected far worse results.
Captain Katsbulger
Captain Katsbulger is a minor character described in Uniforms and Heraldries of the Empire. He commands the Katsbulger Patrol and has duelled a Minotaur.
He is also from from the Empire General Kit.
Frank Feldrant
A custom character made by me, he is a rumoured cannibal. He is a Grey Wizard scholar from the Hergig College of Magic. Many a Witch Hunter and even once a Grandmaster have investigated and called out Frank�?Ts alleged crimes. All of them either couldn�?Tt find anything, mysteriously lost interest or disappeared. One even became brain dead in the case of one of the Witch Hunters.
He might be innocent might not be, all that matters is he is a skilled master of shadows and deception, which might be the reason why no one has found anything.
He is the 4th edition mounted Grey Wizard Model, he was cheap. I did need to strip the older primer off him because of how thick it was. There was 2 other mounted 4th edition wizards in my local shop. I might get them. They might be gone soon and I don�?Tt need them so I might not, but they would be nice to have and were still cheap. This model I have been seeing in the back of my hobby shop for 1 whole year before I picked him up, but that might be because he had really thick primer. These other guys were bare metal and plastic.
Godwine Mueldorfer
Another custom character made by me, Godwine is very old and rich. He titles himself as a Genius, Veteran, Innovator, Businessman, Artisan, Merchant, Role Model, Celebrity, Scholar, Philanthropist, Teacher and Expert.
He made his money and fame off of making guns. He is an Artisanal Custom Gunsmith, meaning he isn�?Tt managing a mass producing Handgun factory like in Nuln, but instead he is building premium and experimental weapons for the wealthy and elite generals inside the Empire. He still knows his way around a cannon and a handgun, but he is most efficient when given a Hochland Longrifle or a Repeater Handgun. He has an Altdorf and Nuln engineering education and has taught in Altdorf as a teacher for a few years of his life. He was born in Hochland however and remains as a prominent business owner in Hergig. He works mostly alone but has employees across the empire to acquire commissions and has a few apprentices who work with him in Hergig. He also has a dwarf Engineer who he met as the Dwarfs helped replace his wooden shop with a stone one. His Dwarven friend has taught him about all sorts of Dwarf Technologies, many of which Godwine knew already but Godwine still respects the Dwarf for his craftsmanship.
To end,
Here is a letter that we believe Aldebrand was sending in response to the first one
Godwine Mueldorfer,
It is a shame of what happened to your courier, ever since we marched a regiment to join Katsbulger in Schippel the streets have had less watch.
I want to say I am interested in speaking to you, The Province has money to give and your skill is heavily sought after. However I will state you were a state soldier at one point. This is not hiring a mercenary but more a call to arms. I will find you a wage you can be more glad to see but you are being requested to come out of retirement and fight. It�?Ts less of am easy decision then you seem to think it is, You don�?Tt want to say no to a superior officer do you? That kind of thing will be public, no matter where you look you will see people talking about your lack of patriotism. That can�?Tt be good for business can it?
On a side note, please don�?Tt refer to Frank as just Feldrant. I have penned a letter requesting aid from Dustarr and his order. You will probably end up working with more then one Feldrant and you�?Tll need clear communication between the two.
As to address your query, he is skilled and wanted to fight. He is the only wizard I found so far that is keen.
And I will say, I have plenty of Soldiers on their way to Schippel. We do have armies, Godwine.
Signed,
Aldebrand Ludenhof, Count of Hochland, Baron of Hergig.
