Draqoom. This has been a long LONG time in the making. Our families have been rivals for coming up on 300 years. The history of the Kindfires and the Van Helsings has been basically anything but friendly.

As the Patriarch, Founder, and Champion of the The Noble House and Kindfire Empire, I accept your challenge. As it stands, I will be the only combatant for my side. Any other entries on my side will make themselves known. I simply ask that you harm no others without being sure they are on my side and willing to be in the fray.

On that note, I gladly await those that will come at me on your side. I would also like to make you aware that your conditions are rather silly to me. Never will a Kindfire, let alone myself, grovel at any Van Helsing. You can remove that delusion from your mind. This war could last another 300 years, even 3000 years, but in the end you will be the one apologizing for ever starting this war.

This war will end with you begging me and any Kindfires that join me to stop. Grovelling would be a nice touch. You will see the fire that burns in Kindfire.

I will see you and your Van Helsings on the battlefield.
