Piracy on the Sundering Sea (Part 3)
Vendola
Crusaders Vendola backgrounds
Faralon!
In Faralon Grand Duke Cosimo
Morosini of Fara sat relaxed on his throne on the afternoon of Hopeday the 12th
of the Third Moon. His business of the day finished, he listened to his minstrel
Cathedro strumming on his lyre with some of his courtiers around him. His wife
Gloriana came in with one of her Lady’s in Waiting. “Most wise husband, Caterina
Faenze here has just received an eagle message from Queen Caprizia which I deem
may be of import to you!” She spoke in Omgano since that was the tongue most
used in Fara court circles, many member of whom were of Ombardi descent.
Duke Cosimo signalled to his minstrel to
stop, “Very well let me see it madam!”
He doubted it would be of any interest, as most of the correspondence between Donna Caterina and the so-called Queen Caprizia, concerned women’s clothing fashions.
It read:
To CF from Q Caprizia 11th
3M
Crusading
fleet have captured Tikjolit
King Colombo captured Eudes &
holds him and others in Tikhar
Castle
“This is indeed news of importance!” and
he read it out to the court. “If King Eudes had gone to support King Anghered’s
faction in the civil war, instead of crusading in the north, I think we might
show him some support. Presumably Colombo will seek to ransom him or try to
offer him terms now. Some of our people have gone with Eudes’ fleet expecting to
go to Hamora and must now find themselves fighting in Lawic Azelad? What think
you Carlo?” He looked towards Conte Calzone Zippoli of Forfore.
“I think that King Colombo’s army is now
dispersed. There were fifteen ships in the Crusaders fleet, so I think that
Kings Eudes army will be too strong for Colombo to face in the field. Especially
if Anghered’s force at Elar joins it! I expect Colombo will retire to Mirimaz
preparing for a siege. He will then hope to outlast the besiegers.”
“You could be right, although there are
other holds, Omos or Tikhar that Colombo might prefer. I believe there is a
great strong tower in Mirimaz but what its other defences are like I know not.
What think you Anselmo?” He looked at Conte Anselmo Grandi of Prosapi
“If you mean to raise a mounted body it will take maybe a week to
assemble them and then Conte Illiron of Omos may well oppose their passage!”
The
Grand Duke shook his head, “I do not think it wise to spend overmuch on a force
that may not be needed and as you say may involve fighting on the border. If we
are agreed that there is only likely to be siege work, it will be foot that are
needed and engineers in particular. Sir Maulfrey that is your bent, how would
you like a holiday in Azelad?”
“Your Royal Highness I will go wherever
you send me. I would take a few artisans but I fancy labourers will be plentiful
in Azelad. However, how am I to get there if the border be manned?”
“By ship perchance!” answered Conte
Calzone, “My Cog the Elizabeth lies empty in the port and doubtless there may be
others. We could load it with likely equipments and sail to Sklavis. We could
send some of the young squires who long for excitement and wish for a chance to
earn their spurs? They would be useful in a siege assault!”
“That is a good Rede. We will do as you
say at once, and then later we may send more. Sir Maulfrey, collect your
artisans and such engineering equipment that you may need and transport them to
the Docks. Conte Calzone I put you in charge of this mission. You shall pick
such Squires and knights as you think fit. I shall give you moneys and you shall
hire such vessels as is needful to take them to Sklavis. There hire a wagon to
take the engineering gear to Elar or wherever it may be needed. You may leave as
soon as your ships are ready! Oh and Maestro Luongobardi I think that you shall
go too. Faralon is famed for its seers and yet in recent times little has been
heard of them. King Anghered will doubtless be eager to benefit from your
learned wisdom and I doubt not that your mighty powers may weaken the foes
defences? ”
“But my gear is over the river Sire!”
“Conte Anselmo, do you ensure that
the Maestro’s Baggage with himself are at the dock in good time!”
“Yes your Royal Highness I shall do so!
Come on wise Seer!”
“Do not tarry for aught good Calzone!”
“Sire I go to pick my squires first but
I hope to sail by tomorrow dawn at the latest.”
He
summoned his own squire Elando Muffa and collected three others idling in the
notorious Blue Beams Inn. They were Nino Bartolo, Feodor Thelem and Crespel
Ravoir. “You gentlemen will be honoured to know that his Royal Highness orders
you to join my command. We are travelling by ship so leave your steeds behind.
We are needed to assist King Anghered against the usurper Colombo in Azelad. It
seems that we are needed to assist in sieges and the Engineer Royal comes with
us. Collect your armour and weapons and report to the Dockmaster’s office by the
nineteenth hour. We hope to sail tonight!”
At the Docks he called on
the Dockmaster Sir Desmond Dine. Once he had explained his urgent mission, the
Dockmaster told him that there was a Thentian Lymphad the St. Lioba, which might
suit his purpose. He found it was owned by the Baron of Dune and was commanded
by a Sir Lodric de L’eau. Aboard was some cheap wines and flour and it had been
waiting for some root crops and preserved meats to be sent to supply the
crusaders in Hamora. Sir Lodric agreed that since Conte Calzone told him that
the crusading fleet had gone to Azelad, he might as well go their instead and
carry the reinforcements instead. After monetary terms were agreed of course!
Conte Calzone then went to his own Cog the Elizabeth. The Captain, Alfredo was
out in the Saffron Sage in the nearby Quayway Street. “Captain I have a
commission for us, the ship is to carry engineer’s impedimenta to Sklavis in
Azelad. I shall be accompanying you aboard the Lymphad St. Lioba. His Royal
Highness intends us to assist King Anghered against the usurper Colombo and we
are the advance guard.”
“Indeed! I thought some of those wastrel squires had already gone down there?”
“In fact they were knights but they went
of their own inclinations, not as an act of Grand Ducal policy!”
“These matters are too nice for me. When
do you want us to sail Conte?”
“Tonight, when the engineers goods and
our company are aboard the two vessels!”
“I had best get back aboard. Sklavis eh,
I did hear a rumour that there was ships blockading Sklavis, but doubtless you
know your business best?”
“Then we will find out if the rumour is
true. I will see you later!”
Sklavis
Conte
Calzone with the St Lioba and the Elizabeth arrived at Sklavis mid-morning of
the 21st of the Third Moon 707ATN. In the harbour lay a Lymphad the
St. Melania. In the shipyard was a half built Nef but the men were all toiling
on a damaged Lymphad the St Gilbert. When the Conte reported to the Dockmaster
Don Jablet, he was very disappointed to hear that Queen Caprizia had come to
terms with King Anghered and the civil war was virtually over. The only possible
resistance still to come would be if Conte Illiron of Omos held out against
Anghered as he had been another of the six claimants to the throne. Don Jablet
thought this unlikely. “King Anghered and King Eudes with a large army are
marching on Omos now. They must be confident of avoiding a siege as they have
sent four lymphads of their forces off on crusade. Those here are two of the
four. They encountered the two Nefs that blockaded here and the St. Gilbert was
badly damaged.”
“These are sorry tidings for us who have
travelled far hoping to aid the Kings with siege work. We have a master Engineer
and his menie sent expressly by Grand Duke Cosimo!”
“Well Sir I am very glad that this port
can be open for normal business once more!”
Conte
Calzone went back to the St. Lioba and told his menie the news. The squires all
groaned with disappointment but the Seer Luongobardi smiled. “Then we had as
well sail back to Faralon!” Conscious of the glares of the others he added,
“Perhaps tomorrow when the young gentlemen have seen the sights of Sklavis.
Doubtless they wish to enjoy some of the pleasures of visiting foreign parts!”
“Perhaps.” responded Conte Calzone. “I
must consult with Sir Maulfrey first”
He
walked along the dock to the Cog Elizabeth. He was greeted by his Captain Sir
Lodric de L’eau. “Sir Maulfrey and his men are gone to look at the ship
repairing. They will be telling the people here how to do it better I think!”
“I must speak with them, the war seems
almost over and unless Conte Illiron tries to hold Omos against Anghered we have
nothing to do. The Seer thinks we should sail home tomorrow.”
“Well we might start sailing tomorrow if
the wind changes, the one that brought us here so speedily is full foul for
going back!”
With an oath the Conte strode on to
where the engineers stood watching the lymphad St. Gilbert being repaired. “It
seems that the war is almost over so unless Conte Illiron tries to hold Omos
against Anghered we have nothing to do!”
Sir Maulfrey stood still watching the
ship repairing operations “It seems a pity to travel
so far to do nothing. Perchance if you be not in a hurry we could give
these fellows a hand. To help speed up the work like?”
“Very well, if their Master is agreeable
for it. But it may be that we must leave for Faralon tomorrow!” Sir Maulfrey’s
men normally worked in the Faralon ship yards.
Conte
Calzone then paid a courtesy call on the Lymphad St Melania, being surprised to
find that it was commanded by a woman the Duchess consort of Wardour. “My
husband is staying in the Tower with Don Loyola Vermini the ruler of Sklavis.
Since he is a bachelor I thought it best to stay aboard with my ladies. We are
invited to dine there this evening. King Eudes has sent us on the crusade to
Hamora. We have many of Colombo’s followers with us sentenced to go too! Come
aboard.”
That afternoon three ships
were sighted approaching the port two Lymphads and a Nef. The nef was moving
slowly and those ashore could see that a sail was tied around its sides. The
lymphads flew the Thentian flag whilst the nef flew none. When the vessels drew
alongside the quay a knight jumped ashore and came up to the St. Lioba. “Sir
Lodric what dost thou here? Methought you were bound for Agetsu?”
“I have hired this vessel on the service
of Grand Duke Cosimo of Fara sirrah, what business is it of yours?” stated Conte
Calzone speaking in Simnith.
“It is very much my business since this
is mine own vessel. Your hire adds to my profits! I am Baron Giles du Rheine of
Dune and I follow Duke Pietro of Wardour on the crusade!”
“Oh I crave your pardon, I am Conte
Calzone Zippoli of Forfore in Fara. It is less grand but I own the Cog Elizabeth
yonder. We have come in the hopes of aiding Kings Eudes and Anghered against the
rebels in Azelad, but it seems our mission may be fruitless.”
“An you can give us aid it may yet be
not fruitless. I have in mind a hardy project to strike against the pirates that
plague our victualing ships. But I have yet to speak with the Duke my Leader.
That nef have I just captured when it sought to rob our lymphads!”
Not long after this
Don Loyola Vermini invited all the ship Commanders to dinner in his tower with
the idea of having a council to follow.
At the
council present were Don Loyola, Shipbuilder Maestro Manana, Duke Pietro,
Duchess Angelique, Baron Giles, Conte Calzone, Lady Margeuritte, Sir Maulfrey,
Sir Lodric, the Seer Luongobardi and the prisoner Donna Catherine Escrivo.
Don
Loyola opened the meeting, “I am a loyal subject of King Anghered and through
this my port came sundry supplies for his host at Elar before Colombo blockaded
us. Azelad is a Lawic state and I will aid you in your enterprises if I can.
Conte Calzone and Sir Maulfrey came to assist King Anghered in siege work but it
seems that that is not likely to be needed. You ones from the crusading fleet
were intent on sailing to the crusade in Hamora. You have had trouble with
pirates and indeed many good ships have been lost to them in the delta area.
Baron Giles has captured and brought in a pirate nef but we know that another
one is being repaired at Vendola. He is suggesting that it would be a most wise
and beneficent deed if we could raid Vendola and burn it. At the Baron’s
instigation the captured pirate Donna Catherine has drawn a plan of Vendola as
she remembers it. We are here to decide whether such a project is practical and
if so how to go about it? Baron Giles?”
“It is my mind that that nef may destroy
many of our supply ships if it be allowed to come back into service. On the high
seas it is faster than most of our craft and would be very hard to catch. I
think that if the Saint Gilbert be repaired and Conte Calzone add his strength
we should have enough to overwhelm the defences of Vendola? What think you?”
The
seer Luongobardi shook his head, “Conte Calzone’s mission was to aid King
Anghered in siege work against Azeladian rebels. This would be a deviation from
that mission. Besides, Vendola is part of the Grand Duchy of Fara! This would be
to attack ourselves!”
The
Duchess Angelique disagreed, “As a ship owner I feel very strongly about
innocent sailors being murdered for the goods that their vessels are carrying!
Since it seems that we know this pirate vessel is at Vendola then it would be
common justice to destroy it! I do not think Grand Duke Cosimo really holds sway
over Vendola and if he did, he would be complicit! Donna Catherine, you are from
Vendola who is your suzerain lord?”
“In truth, that is a hard question for
me a female to answer! I do not know in fact, it is not a subject upon which I
have heard any discourse. Vessels call at Vendola relatively infrequently but
from ports north and south and indeed from up the Great Arwyn.”
“So in fact it is an independent state
of its own harbouring pirates would you say?”
“Yea indeed, and also the Larete Balokha
smugglers! Their head Wizard Risenstar had his palazzo there and they are unsure
who will take it over!”
“Long has Fara tried to combat the
smugglers!” declared Conte Calzone, “I deem that it would be serving his Royal
Highness well if we could burn out that palazzo as well as the nef! I am also
sure that my squires will think it a most gallant enterprise for them!”
Sir
Lodric said, “As an innocent sailor I too would want to destroy the pirate ship
but naturally I will follow your lead Baron.”
The
Seer was worried, “But how if the enterprise should fail, or even succeed at
great cost? Will not this greatly damage your aiding of the crusade?”
Duke
Pietro spoke, “We know not how matters stand in Hamora at present. If Sihon
castle is much reinforced by the Chaotic, besieging it may not be practical. It
is in my mind that we will essay this task and then carry on as before. Since we
have the opportunity, I think our honour would be doubted if we did not! Master
shipwright, how long before the Saint Gilbert be ready?”
“Sire, with the goodly assistance of Sir
Maulfrey and his men I think it will be ready for Workday dawn!”
“Perchance by then we may hear that King
Anghered hath need of us at Omos?” suggested the Seer.
Duke
Pietro replied, “Indeed but I think we should plan on the assumption that he
does not. We have five Lymphads but does the cog accompany us?”
“I would prefer not to be left alone,
and besides you may need my engineers to overcome the defences at Vendola!”
quoth Sir Maulfrey. “My men are very glad of the opportunity to see Azeladian
shipwrights at work and feel our trip has not been wasted!”
Duke
Pietro nodded his head, “Donna Catherine your plan shows nine towers, do you
know how many men hold them?”
“No. The women have the big engine on
the Torre Grande roof. It is said
that the Comandare’s wife spies on the townspeople from up there. The Capitano
has at least a dozen men in his watch and the
Maestro
del Porto Tagliarto Nete will have at
least as many. Nobody knows how many dwarves lurk in the
Torre dei Nani, they are a most
secretive people but from their ration requirements not too many I think. The
shipwrights number half a dozen but they will be part of the militia, who will
be summoned if the trumpet blows the alarm. But there will be the crew of the
Lamtotir who mostly will be in the sailors barracks near the ship yard. Then
there are plenty of thugs in Risenstar’s Palazzo. Not that many people will want
to defend them!”
Lady Margeuritte then asked
“When we assaulted Tikjolit the townspeople including presumably the militia
made no attempt to fight us. They left it to Colombo’s men to do that alone. Do
you think this might happen in Vendola?”
“It may be. I have never seen the
militia actually assembled. The merchant, the banker and the Temple priests will
probably just try to defend their own!”
“Yes and at Tikjolit the dwarves were
talked out of the fight. Perchance we might avoid fighting them this time, they
are separated from the rest by the channel?” hinted Lady Margeuritte. “Can we
purchase a row boat or two, they might be needed?”
Don
Loyola rapped on the table. “It seems that you are decided to undertake this
dangerous task. I will donate you a rowboat. I too have an eager squire and
there may be others amongst my people. Are all your crews going?”
“Yes!” answered Duke Pietro, “Yes
answered Conte Calzone.
“An they be paid some of those you took
in the Evasofah like not the Comandare of Vendola. He had a heavy and expensive
hand for misdemeanours!”
The next day came word that Count Illiron had
submitted to King Anghered so your force can sail on the 23rd of the
Third Moon. So now you must make up your plan of attack! Vendola does sometimes
see ship sailing past in daylight though most do so further out to sea. Do you
wish to attack in daylight or at night knowing that the winds can be capricious?
Likely duration of journey between two and five days! (AvD?)
