Vandal Ultimatum

[Johann Claves]

A Rider was dispatched to Rome bearing a letter from the great leader of the Vandals, Johann Claves. The Letter read thus,

"Roman Scum, we the Vandals offer you a place in our Empire if you cease the fighting and turn from your demeaning ways. I give you 1 month to respond to this or Rome will be in Vandalic hands."

[Avitas Caesar]

The answer came swiftly:
"The Roman people will rather be killed down to the last child than join you. Our deaths will be as martyrs to our faith, so come if you will, and destroy us, your lives will last a generation, but our names will last forever!"
