The Winter Claw village was chaotic in preparing for the incoming void invasions. Men, women, and children were doing all they could whether it be helping assemble barricades or preparing weapons for the warriors or themselves. After all only the strongest thrive in the Winter Claw tribe. Rudmed noted these things as he was led further into the village till he reached the largest hut. On the way to the hut he noticed the guard's general discomfort around the stranger, which was only natural as the man requested to see their leader. Given his revolver..he might be able to at least mortally their leader. However he had no intentions of doing so, after all he would need the Winter Claw's assistance in fighting off the Void threat.
Rudmed was led into the largest hut, where Sejuani and what he assumed to be her council of elders were planning for battle. Wisely, he choose to disarm himself handing one of the guards his saber, revolver, and many many daggers he kept hidden around his body. He soon discovered the hut was a single chamber decorated with the finest furs, and wood that the tribe could get. He would kneel to Sejuani and her council before introducing himself and his purpose, "Lady Sejuani, I am Rudmed Vonfuer. I come to offer my order's aid and service in the defense of your tribe against the void threat. The very destruction of such evil would only do good for your tribe and my order."
The stranger given his clothing and manners..was obviously a wanderer who had enough manners to know how not to anger someone of royal blood. Furthermore, his appearance and voice indicated he was not from Freljord, rather he came from somewhere rather far from the mountains. He choose not to raise his head until addressed, as in his youth he was taught it was rather rude to do otherwise.

The talk among the Elders stopped in its tracks as the outsider entered and spoke, going as far as to knee before their leader.
“Rise.” Sejuani insisted, her tone unintentionally had edge to it. Not due to his entrance but due to the recent stresses that had plagued her. She couldn’t help but let anger slip in here and there in her voice. Despite it, she was composed. “Before I can accept such aid I must know about you and your order…” Unlike The Frost Archer tribe, he was a stranger. She knew what to expect from someone like her bitter enemy but there were risk from an unknown. What if they had some sort of cultist affiliation and this was an effort to weaken them from within? It was a paranoid thought, but in a desperate time such as this, she couldn’t help but consider every possibility.

The entirety of the room was filled by a strong purple light. The light pulsated and waved, as if it were stretching the universe itself, and then, in a flash, was replaced by Kassadin. The Voidwalker strode out of the light unfazed - it seemed as if reality had folded upon itself, just so that Kassadin could travel from Rakelstake to the Winter Claw tribe with just one step.
Something caught Kassadin's attention. He turned his head to examine the stranger. That man was pretty hard to miss - dressed in brown leather and silver plates, wielding gun and sword. It greatly contrasted with the elders and Sejuani's blue and gray fur clothing.
This strange man had gotten here before Kassadin, so he simply nodded at Sejuani and waited for his turn to speak. It was an awkward situation, not being the first to arrive at a scene.
Rudmed rose as commanded, and nodded toward Sejuani. However, while his dispostion and face did not indicate it, he was thinking very quickly. What to censor, for like any member of the Final Truth he was sworn to secrecy about most information, but after a moment he nodded and began, "As I said before I am Rudmed Vonfuer, and a foreigner to these lands. I am the Grandmaster of my order, called the Final Truth. We seek out to punish the sinners, whose crimes have yet to be punished or may never be punished. We are the blades of retribution. We see the Void as a great evil with many sins. An example of one of those sins is how they kill innocents like your people, which we deem them a threat that must be dealt with. "
He hoped that answer would satisfy her paranoia and distrust. He was no spy, though the random appearance of him maybe evidence, There was a purple light but Rudmed seemed to ignore it. The breathing he heard told him everything he needed to know, thus he went on with his explanation, "As the Grandmaster my subordinates will obey my commands, without question. Unless I go against my order's regulations." He explained and then quitely waited for Sejuani's answer hoping his words did not fall on deaf ears.

The guards reacted immediately to the Voidwalker’s approach. As he emerged there were spears and swords already leveled and aimed to strike him, some were held within inches of his person before they nervously backed away.
Sejuani listened and upon him finishing his words she spoke, her words were brief and to the point. “How fast can your order be up here?” Her eyes turned to the Voidwalker whom had entered the room. A familiar face and a welcome sight that she knew full well could assist at this time. While she had never truly spoken to him about such an alien and strange cause, she hadn’t disliked him.
The inquisitor stepped aside allowing the Voidwalker to take the spotlight, "The furthest group will take an hour and a half to reach this location." Now it was Kassadin's turn to hopefully give the defenders intelligence about what kind of monstrosities they would be facing and how to counter them. Rudmed would carefully listen to Kassadin's words and repeat them to his group...anything to help them survive. He would rather not bury many of his followers this day.

Kassadin took a quick look at the soldiers that were threatening him. Under his mask, he smirked - but this was impossible to see for anyone. He then raised his head so that his gaze met Sejuani's.
Ashe has acquired allies. Kassadin refrained from utilizing Ashe's title. A fit of rage over the throne was the last thing Frejlord needed right now. A group of Preservers will arrive here in roughly two days. The Ursine and the Yetis have been contacted, and I doubt they refuse to answer the call to arms.

Rudmed nodded, "Good we'll need as much help as we can get. Though what of the enemy forces? Any specifics on what we can expect" He inquired wanting to get as much intelligence as possible so he could brief his men and so the Winter Claw's could prepare appropriate defenses.
Rudmed wished that some of the Void champions would make an appearance so he could get to execute some of them. To deal the righteous justice they have earned, and to ensure it is as painful, but swift as possible.

"We might not have two days!" Sejuani yelled in a small outburst as she grew red in the face. She was directing her frustration towards the Voidwalker and she knew it. "Help will mean nothing if I lose much of the tribe!" A few deep breaths, the furrow of her brow and she composed herself, if just barely.
"Even so...allies. We need them, just faster. Or a way to hold out if they are upon us. My scouts report that they have something massive with them, sightings report there are Void aligned champions among them as well. For now, I need to think of the best way to fortify our defenses. Thank you for the news, your help and your time..."
[Road from Rakelstake to Winter Claw Tribal Grounds]
Nunu and the teeny group of twenty-five yeti's approached the Winter Claw tribe. They moved with haste, as the void could be anywhere at anytime. The lead Yeti's shuddered, the cold was just that, cold. But for once the Yeti's felt it, Nunu worried that the spirits may be frowning upon them, leaving the other Yeti's in Rakelstake and bringing reinforcements to the Winter Claw.
Nunu's group kept walking, the snow gathering higher around them. Nunu looked over to his friend, Willump, "Can I have a ride?" Willump gave a short grunt. The snow seemed to gather high as the moon rose high in the sky. The Yeti's set camp in a cave, and the fire they made rose high in the sky.
That night as Nunu slept he swear he heard whispers, reaching into his mind. He woke, sweating, as the cold chilled to his bones. Only one creature he knew of could cause nightmares. "Nocturne" Nunu whispered. With an odd sense of clarity he began piecing together what could happen to Freljord. His young childish mind did not help much.
Nunu could not fall asleep that night. He kept watch for the rest of that night, his Yeti Warriors sleeping, shuddering, locked in whatever nightmares awaited them. Nunu stayed awake with a map of Freljord, locating possible locations were they could relocate citizens against the void threat.
He ended up with three locations, the coast near Piltover, the Ironspike Mountains, or relocate everyone to the new Yeti Village. He hoped Ashe and Sejuani would assist him in this venture but sadly, he doubted that they would agree to exactly these terms. Sejuani was too proud to admit defeat, and Ashe would want whats best for her people, getting the city back in that case. He knew that if forced to they would, but he was too you to do the forcing. Time would tell.
Morning came and they continued along the road. When they neared the edge of the Winter Claw Tribal Grounds he saw a dog at the side of the road, its leg bent in the wrong direction. He knelt by it and saw signs of voidling damage done.
The Yeti Tribe blew into a roar of noise. Yeti's scrambling over each other to see it. Nunu gulped and said out loud, "We should get to the tribe" and they entered the city, it seemed distraught and oddly quite. Nunu hoped Sejuani would see him.
Rudmed bowed to Sejuani, "My order will do its very best to protect your people, but for now if you'll excuse me. I will begin preparations." The inquisitor said as he retrieved his equipment. He then stepped outside the hut to met his subordinates and make preparations to prepare for eventual assault.

((Sorry about the delay.))
"As will we...we must be prepared. We must..." The last bit trailed off quietly, almost a mutter to herself. When Rudmed left it only left the void walker, the council and herself.
The next morning came with tension as preparations weren't even complete yet. The Yeti company was received reluctantly. They had sided with Ashe after all, they were no friends of the Winter Claw tribe. However, for now they were a much needed ally. Their force was small, very small but it was something at the very least.
It wasn't long until the Half-Dragons form came into view, a long with a troop of Demacian soldiers, dressed head to toe in blue and gold armor, following the Half-Dragon like statues, weapons in hand. They had arrived early that morning.. it was no doubt that Freljord needed all the help they could get, and it was likely that the tribe would accept the strength of the Demacian soldiers.. and Shyvana herself.
Upon entering the tribe, Shyvana's eyes slid over the area.. noticing the Yeti rider and his forces, and soldiers preparing for battle. Shyvana took long strides up to the Winters Claw herself, crossing a gauntlet over her chest and bowing to Sejuani.
"The Prince sends his regards." Shyvana said, the statue-like soldiers bowed in response but remained silent otherwise, their faces hidden behind closed helmets. Shyvana then continued to speak, her tone flat, but filled with the growling that highlighted it. "On behalf of Demacia, my troops and I will help in anyway we can."

In the distance, a group of seemingly odd dressed people - and a yordle for that matter - came into view. A they got closer, it could be told that they were healers, of the not-so-magical kind, identifiable by the green crosses on their helmets and on their shoulder pads. More specifically, they were Medics, and combat ones at that. Carrying their weapons -consisting of a few rifles, carbines, machine pistols, and in two of the Medic's cases, the halves of a machine gun- and a few other supplies, including a backpack radio, they walked in a half-marching, half-walking formation. The person which appeared to be their squad leader also had a very curious device; it seemed like a long under-held gun, but the barrel looked far too large to be a practical weapon... perhaps it was some healing device? One couldn't be sure, as only the Medics knew what it truly did.
Entering the village, they saw a group of other warriors, including yetis, other warriors, and the Demacian force. Simply nodding and/or saluting to any that acknowledged them, their squad leader went inside the building and went up to address Sejuani, standing to attention and giving a strong salute before addressing her.
"Lieutenant Hixon, Baker squad, PMC. Me and my squad are part of the whole Corps which have been ordered to assist you in the defense against the void. On behalf of Piltover, my squad and I, along with the rest of the Corps, will serve in the defense of your people against the Void threat." With that, he saluted again, awaiting her response.
"We serve those that need help, because we're Medics: that's our job." -Major Lewis
"Sometimes, ordinary people can do extraordinary things: Medics need to do that everyday." -Captain Winters
"In this world, we're a team. There is no I in team, simple as that. We either work as one, or we all fail, all seperate from each other." -Lieutenant Hixon

Leona's boots trecked through the winter snow as she approached the Winter's Wrath tribe. Her golden armor and firey hair were stained nearly white from the flakes that seemed to fall endlessly around the baron land. She had came as quickly as she could upon hearing the void was planning an invasion here, too much innocent blood had been spilled, and she would no longer sit back and twiddle her thumbs.
Upon entering the encampment, her eyes looked around as she stood in the entrance way.. The Yeti rider and his forces were here.. as well as the Half-Dragon herself and the Demacian forces. She also noticed some people she hadn't seen before.. soldiers.. but far more techy then the rest. "Must be from Piltover.." she thought to herself before she began to make her way to Sejuani, shield and sword in hand.
"Hello, Sejuani." The Solari warrior said, standing before the tribes leader. "I wish I could have brought my own troops, but the Solari have none to offer.. but I am here, and I will offer my assistance in anyway I can."
