'For many long winters, we have sparred with the Susi-väki for control of these harsh lands, but we have not truly fought a war in the memories of our fathers or even our grandfathers. Now war comes upon us, unlooked for and uninvited. The Susi-väki assaults have become more vicious and frequent, and dark allies have joined with them -- the Kivi-väki from the South who name themselves Dourhands, as well as the Angmarim from the East.

'More Men and dwarves from the South have also come to us of late, seeking to make an alliance with us. To accept their offers would draw us remorselessly to war, but to reject them may well leave us at the mercy of ancient enemies. So I ask you this: Will you show us your strength in war and strike against the Susi-väki who are our enemies? If so, I would have you attack the boundaries of their ancestral homeland itself, far to the West across the Ice Bay.

'On the southern edge of the great glacier where both of our peoples have long hunted and fought, the Susi-väki have long maintained a line of wards marking the edge of their lands. Burn these wards, and in so doing, let the Susi-väki know that the Lumi-väki and their allies shall make true war upon them -- and stain every flake of snow with blood, if need be -- should they continue their aggression.'
