the moss grotto and the holy citadel have sent their leaders to neutral territory to discuss a partnership, they ended the haggling after nine short hours and decided on these terms:

1. military action, they shall help each other in any military operation, both defensive and offensive, with sending soldiers to help each other, unless either side doesn’t have enough troops to defend their home if they send troops
2. Safe passage, the pilgrims will be helped along the moss grotto through their pilgrimage, though they shall not stray from the pre set paths as to not disturb the wilderness, only exceptions to this are high ranking officials from the high halls so they can keep steady communication
3. resource trading, the moss grotto shall share things such as food and other natural resources in exchange for the holy citadels technology, and they shall help each other with medical care, with the advanced knowledge of the highest halls and the magical healing of the moss grotto
4. Lastly the two nations shall not attack each other under any circumstances, if they do the contract will be eliminated

My name is Korliva. I am the second judge of the court of craws and directly answer to our honorable Crawfather. I am also female if this is a problem to see because of the robes and everything. I am not here on official business for some time as I travel pharloom on a vacation from my duties. And yes per the craw constitution your rosaries are my and the craws as a whole legal property.

*A spit squit with a strange hat is having a speech in the ducts*

Dear friends of mine! I want to wake you up!

We have too long been stood upon by the other factions! The citadel destroyed our environment, and Bilewater didnt do anything but help themselves! I myself was a warrior in the Bilewater war years ago, and after it, I asked myself a question. Why are we part of a kingdom that doesnt even consider us? Or our strenght?

Brothers, we have to stand up for ourselves! We have to show them that we aren't weak, or that we aren't just a tool to use! We have to get revenge!

Do you know how our home is called now? The Putrified Ducts. PUTRIFIED! Do we want this mockery to keep happening, friends?

But I know what we must do! Follow me as your leader, and we'll crush our enemies, now that they both are weak! We have the same resources as Bilewater, and the same determination as the citadel! Who is with me brothers? WHO WANTS TO MAKE THE DUCTS GLORIOUS AGAIN?

*the crowd cheers in excitement, as they go and sign up to the "Ductivist Party".*

"We're here to take back what's ours!"

The weaver roams around the ducts, carefully stepping around the maggot swarming waters. she eventually finds a nice ledge and sits upon it, inspecting a barnak she had slain on her way
