Bjorn arrives with good timing. He could probably smell all the stallions gathering on his land so he came quick as any lead stallion would. Warsaw dips his skull back to each stallion before getting ready to speak. "It is good to see you all gathered in one place. My, what a handsome bunch we are." He chuckles, flipping his ebony forelock aside. "The time has come." He says, eyes darkening. His gaze goes between each stallion around him. First, to Rougaru, his first trusted friend and ally, then to Cullen, a bond built by blood, and lastly, his gaze falls on Bjorn. Bjorn was new to his circle and found his way to Warsaw by chance, planting the very seed of war in his brain. He was a big reason they were all gathered here today.

"I have declared war on the clan in the Forest. Their Queen, Persephone, runs her herd solely without the role of a lead stallion. I have made it clear to her that I find it unnatural and despite my efforts to make a deal with her to change her mind, she has refused. In her mind, mares can lead a herd just as well as any stallion, but I have proven her weaknesses in battle numerous times. Still, she refuses me." The grumble on his tongue could be heard towards the end. He knew Rougaru would understand, Cullen as well, but he didn't know what Bjorn thought of all this. They had talked a little about his conflict with the Forest and the stallion has pled his alliance, but he still does not know the stallion's true feelings.

He lingers his gaze on Bjorn but moves it between everyone else once he realizes it. "Late spring is when I plan to march to the Forest and bring it's Queen to her knees. She will bow to us or we will chase her out. If she refuses to step down and allow a stallion to take over I will force her to oblige. If it comes to a fight to the death, so be it." Warsaw did not doubt that he could beat the Forest mare as he has done before. He would kill her if it came to it. "That is where all of you come in." He says, smacking his mouth as it dries out. "Persephone has many friends and she will call upon them to fight in her aid. I need you, all of you, to follow me into battle."

He takes a deep breath. "It might get bloody so don't bring anyone along that isn't experienced in fighting. I'd hate for one of you to lose an important mare." He eyes Rougaru as he was the one who seems to have most of the feisty mares, Celestria included. He did not know what kind of herd Bjorn has been building and he knew Cullen had a strong army of stallions to aid them.
