Hi. We're The Gloved Hand. We make weapons.
Weapons are good for lots of things. First and foremost, they're great for killing other people. They're also good for keeping other people from killing you. Frankly, it doesn't matter to us what you do with them. Buy a bunch and bury them in your backyard for all we care. We just want you to buy them from us. So make us happy and email glovedhand@hotmail.com for more info.
The Gloved Hand. Serving the Greater Drassa Region with pride since Turn 36.

Sloppy paint job, guys. And you _really_ need to file off the spot on the stern where the words "Edmund Fitzgerald" used to be...
Hmmm, the time flies. Soon, you'll all be begging me for a taste... You know that the only reason that you tried to get rid of me was to steal my peat.
I'm beginning to think something is up. Everytime I sit down to practice playing the drums some darn savages show up and I have to stop to attack them. I'm starting to run low on troops and I'm beginning to feel the urge to play the drums again.
I think the Lords discovered a new trick, check the SFW and the current aura:

Pig Foul will make a nice roast !!
Pig foul will make a nice toast
Now we know why Cendage gives his troops to the Lords instead of leading them himself.
Thanks for the boats, we would have been stuck without them. Pity about the 450 casualties. We're not even sure if anyone's paying for Crimson Dragons, but at this rate, who would?
