==Uploaded Images==
Hello! I enjoyed reading about your character, Dendum. While I was reviewing updates on his character page, [[Dendum (prime)]], I noticed that you did not include the artist or source information for following images on that page: [[:File:Dendumavatar.png]], [[:File:Basingstoke.png]], [[:File:Greengairvillage.png]], [[:File:Wendwillowvillage.png]], and [[:File:Dendumjune.png]]. The artist's name or source must be noted for images uploaded to the wiki. Please see [[Help:Style#Copyrights]] for more information about the requirement to provide the source and artist name for all images uploaded to GSwiki. If you are the artist who created the artwork, you can simply note that instead. If you need an example of how to do this, the character page [[Arenglae (prime)]] does this very clearly for all of the portraits. Additionally, if any images were created using AI software, you will need to note what software was used to create them. Unfortunately simply stating that you own the copyright to the image is not sufficient. As an example, it can be as simple as, "Image created by the uploader using MidJourney" (or whatever software is appropriate). Thanks for understanding! I'll check back in soon to see if this information has been updated. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 10:34, 19 December 2022 (CST)

:Hi there, BURGHALGNOME. I enjoyed reading the recent article you helped write, [[Black Thorn Resistance/Free North News Issue 3|Free North News Issue 3]]. Thank you for including which AI software was used for the accompanying images with the article. However, I did notice that you did not include full attribution information for them, such as who created them (for four of the six images) or if permission was granted to upload them (for the ones that you did not create). The seven images are as follows:
:* [[:File:THAT advertisement.png]] - Was this image uploaded with permission by the creator?
:* [[:File:THAT recruitment.png]] - Was this image uploaded with permission by the creator?
:* [[:File:Lithnobasket.png]] - Who generated this image? Was it uploaded with permission by the creator if that person is not you?
:* [[:File:Thornimpfashion1.png]] - Who generated this image? Was it uploaded with permission by the creator if that person is not you?
:* [[:File:Thornimpfashion2.png]] - Who generated this image? Was it uploaded with permission by the creator if that person is not you?
:* [[:File:Thornimpfashion3.png]] - Who generated this image? Was it uploaded with permission by the creator if that person is not you?
:Please see [[Help:Style#Copyrights]] for more information about the requirement to provide the source and artist name for all images uploaded to GSwiki. If you are the artist who created the five with no person cited, you can simply note that instead. If you need an example of how to do this, the character page [[Arenglae (prime)]] does this very clearly for all of the portraits. Thanks for understanding! I'll check back in soon to see if this information has been updated. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:08, 2 May 2023 (CDT)
::Correction: [[:File:Freenorthnews.png]] does have full attribution information on the image itself. You can disregard the above for this specific image. I will be editing the Free North News Issue 3 article to update the attribution information for that displayed image. Apologies for that oversight. [[User:HOST-GSKEBECHET|HOST-GSKEBECHET]] ([[User talk:HOST-GSKEBECHET|talk]]) 09:16, 2 May 2023 (CDT)
:::Hello, BURGHALGNOME. I noticed that you uploaded some more images recently that do not meet the current style guide for attribution information needed. It appears that none of the images are used in any articles, so the attribution information will need to be updated on the image file itself for each of them. That can be done by clicking on '''Edit''' at the top of each of the linked image files, then updating the text with the required attribution information, similarly to editing any article on the wiki. As a reminder, all images must clearly include three components: 1) the name of the artist who created the image, 2) the name of any AI imaging software used, if any, and 3) if permission was granted by the image's creator, if that person is not you. The list of images missing some or all required attribution components are as follows:
:::* [[:File:FNNcultsymbol1.png]] - Who created the image? What AI imaging software was used, if any? Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image if that person is not you?
:::* [[:File:FNNMalwindeatsrocks1.png]] - Thank you for noting the name of the image creator and which AI imaging software was used. Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image?
:::* [[:File:FNNCookingRolton1.png]] - Thank you for noting which AI imaging software was used. Who created the image? Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image if that person is not you?
:::* [[:File:FNNCookingrolton2.png]] - Thank you for noting which AI imaging software was used. Who created the image? Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image if that person is not you?
:::* [[:File:FNNroltonfashion1.png]] - Thank you for noting which AI imaging software was used. Who created the image? Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image if that person is not you?
:::* [[:File:FNNroltonfashion2.png]] - Thank you for noting which AI imaging software was used. Who created the image? Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image if that person is not you?
:::* [[:File:FNNroltonfashion3.png]] - Thank you for noting which AI imaging software was used. Who created the image? Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image if that person is not you?
:::* [[:File:FNNroltonfashion4.png]] - Thank you for noting which AI imaging software was used. Who created the image? Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image if that person is not you?
:::* [[:File:FNNMrhowler.png]] - Thank you for noting the name of the image creator and that permission was granted to upload it. Was AI imaging software used in its creation? If so, the name of the software will also need to be included.
:::In addition, there are still six further images that are missing this attribution information that were uploaded previously and that I have already contacted you about. That information is not included anywhere on the wiki, whether on the image file itself or on the article where those images are featured, [[Black Thorn Resistance/Free North News Issue 3]]. At minimum, per the current style guide, that information will need to be included on the article where they are displayed. Once again, those six additional images are:
:::* [[:File:THAT advertisement.png]] - Thank you for noting the name of the image creator. Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image?
:::* [[:File:THAT recruitment.png]] - Thank you for noting the name of the image creator. Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image?
:::* [[:File:Lithnobasket.png]] - Thank you for noting which AI imaging software was used. Who created the image? Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image if that person is not you?
:::* [[:File:Thornimpfashion1.png]] - Thank you for noting which AI imaging software was used. Who created the image? Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image if that person is not you?
:::* [[:File:Thornimpfashion2.png]] - Thank you for noting which AI imaging software was used. Who created the image? Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image if that person is not you?
:::* [[:File:Thornimpfashion3.png]] - Thank you for noting which AI imaging software was used. Who created the image? Was permission granted by the creator to upload this image if that person is not you?
:::Please see [[Help:Style#Copyrights]] for more information about the requirement to provide the source and artist name for all images uploaded to GSwiki. If you are the artist who created the images with no artist cited, you can simply note that instead. If you need an example of how to do this, the character page [[Arenglae (prime)]] does this very clearly for all of the portraits.
:::I realize that this is not the first time I have reached out to you about missing attribution information. If you are unsure as to what information is needed or why, or if you need help adding that information to the wiki, please direct your questions to the [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926 Official GSWiki Disucssion, v2.0] thread in the official GS Discord server's Help forums where a member of the staff wiki team can address them. '''Please ensure that this information is updated in the next 7 days. If it has not been updated at the conclusion of 7 days, then these images will be deleted from the wiki.'''

::::Hello, BURGHALGNOME. Thank you for updating some of the images I previously contacted you about. Most of the updates look great and conform with the new image policy, however I did have to flag two that are not yet in compliance with the updated [[Gswiki:Policy]] for [[GSwiki:Policy#AI-Generated Artwork|AI-Generated Artwork]]. The images that have been flagged as needing updated information are as follows:
::::* [[:File:Thornimpfashion2.png]] - Who created this image? Unfortunately "all creators" is not sufficient to name who created it.
::::* [[:File:Thornimpfashion3.png]] - Who created this image? Was permission granted by the creator(s) to upload it?
::::If that information is not added within 7 days, they will be deleted from the wiki. If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for images, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926|Discord forum's wiki thread].

REPLY- At this time 07/24/2023 all images should be properly attributed. Thank you for your assistance ~ Burghalgnome

==Images at Risk for Deletion==
Hello, BURGHALGNOME. I know that I have communicated with you before about images uploaded to the wiki and the evolving guidelines and policy that applies to them. I appreciate all of the steps you have taken in the past to make sure your images meet the wiki Policy, and I understand how challenging that can be when it involves multiple image creators. Your recent edits to [[Black Thorn Resistance]] brought one of your earlier image uploads to my attention as it does not meet current policy. Please see [[Gswiki:Policy#Copyrights]] for more information about that policy and the requirement to note image creators, what AI imaging software was used (if any), and if permission was granted by the creator to upload the image to the wiki. That information must be on the image file as well as all articles that use the image. In addition, all images using AI software in their creation are required to be included in [[:Category:AI artwork]]. To avoid going through this again with older images that you have uploaded, I have reviewed all image files uploaded by your account to see which ones need updates in order to comply with current policy. I have flagged the following images as needing updated information:
* [[:File:Ablackthornsymbol1.png]] - Thank you for noting that MidJourney was used to generate this. Who created this file? If that person is not you, do you have permission to upload it? This image appears on [[Black Thorn Resistance]] and will need its caption there updated in addition to the image file. It will need to be added to [[:Category:AI artwork]].
* [[:File:Rookchildrenhuddled.png]] - Thank you for noting that MidJourney was used to generate this. Who created this file? If that person is not you, do you have permission to upload it? This image appears on [[Black Thorn Resistance/ The Cost of Security]] and will need its caption there updated in addition to the image file. It will need to be added to [[:Category:AI artwork]].
'''If that information is not added within 7 days, those images will be deleted from the wiki.'''

I have NOT flagged the following files as they appear to just have their description poorly worded. Can you please confirm that you created the following images, either by responding to this message or updating the image files? '''If there is no response to this message or updates to these image files clarifying who created them in 7 days, I will continue to the next step and formally flag them for review/deletion.'''
* [[:File:Tomulnedwarf.png]] - This states it was created in Midjourney and uploaded (not created) by you. Did you create this image? This image appears on [[Dendum (prime)/ The Cost of Peace]] and will need its caption there updated in addition to the image file. I have already added [[:Category:AI artwork]] to it.
* [[:File:V1minerrevolt.png]] - This states it was created in Midjourney and uploaded (not created) by you. Did you create this image? This image appears on [[Dendum (prime)/ The Cost of Peace]] and will need its caption there updated in addition to the image file. I have already added [[:Category:AI artwork]] to it.
* [[:File:Roosterrookchild.png]] - This states it was created in Midjourney and uploaded (not created) by you. Did you create this image? This image appears on [[Black Thorn Resistance/ The Cost of Security]] and will need its caption there updated in addition to the image file. I have already added [[:Category:AI artwork]] to it.
* [[:File:Rooktoytable.png]] - This states it was generated in Midjourney and uploaded (not created) by you. Did you create this image? This image appears on [[Black Thorn Resistance/ The Cost of Security]] and will need its caption there updated in addition to the image file. I have already added [[:Category:AI artwork]] to it.
* [[:File:Hendorknightinthewarrens.png]] - This states it was generated in Midjourney and uploaded (not created) by you. Did you create this image? This image appears on [[Black Thorn Resistance/ The Cost of Security]] and will need its caption there updated in addition to the image file. I have already added [[:Category:AI artwork]] to it.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding as the GS wiki team continues to refine its policy to ensure the integrity of content added. This should hopefully be the last round of communication regarding any of your older images, and I know that you have been very diligent about ensuring that information is included with newer uploads. If you have any questions about this process or need more information about the updated policy for images, please reach out to the wiki team on the Gemstone [https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926%7CDiscord forum's wiki thread].

== '''Kragsfell - A Tale of Empire''' ==
Interview by Aubron
The following interview took place in Koaratos in 5123 more than half a year into the empire’s aggressive expansion and Earl Jovery’s decree for the creation of a new barony in the north.

'''Aubron of Talador''': Greetings, fellow travelers! Today, we delve into the fascinating history of the Battle of [[Kragsfell]], a significant conflict that unfolded in the DragonSpine mountain range many years ago. Joining us is Dendum of the Wendwillows, a resident of the northern border regions.

Before we dive into the [[ Giantkin_History#Part_IV:_Kragsfell | battle itself ]], could you provide some context for our audience? How did this conflict with the imperial army start?

'''Dendum''' : T'Kirem Bear Clan lived in Shartenal mountains for generations. The human empire, ever expanding, came and in ignorance pushed onto the lands of others, as they tend to do even to this day. At first the Kindred did not believe the empire would be so bold and moved carefully so as not to provoke the humans, however the empire attacked with full force.

'''Aubron of Talador''': The Baloran tribe seemed to be initially surprised by the human presence. How did the conflict escalate, and how did they come to establish Kragsfell Fortress?

'''Dendum''' : Chieftain T'Syranak sought knowledge after that first unprovoked attack. After being attacked by the Sun Throne took time and collected much information. Fought for years, led humans deeper into the mountains to Kragsfell. This process took years, one does not drive an empire out overnight.

'''Aubron of Talador''': Fascinating strategy! It seems Kragsfell became a pivotal point in the conflict. What led to the ultimate defeat of the imperial army?

'''Dendum''': Yunnag-sihr, a leader given by the great spirits, attacked. Clever plan, surprise attack, drove humans out. You see the wisdom of this leader in using the scouts and knowing where and when to strike. The human empire often finds failure when confronted with more than shields and children to clash against.

'''Aubron of Talador''': Victory, however, came at a great price. The war continued for almost a hundred years, and even though the T'Kirem couldn't fully defeat the imperial army, the humans couldn't conquer the giants either. How did the conflict eventually come to an end?

'''Dendum''': War continued. Krulgon, new chief did not listen to scouts and drove them away with his arrogance he did not have the wisdom of his father or the patience of his ancestors, faced defeat. However even then the kindred blood proved true and wisdom finally arrived to young Krulgon. Used terrain to prevent loss. War ended in a draw.

'''Aubron''': It's a bittersweet tale of struggle and resilience. With the conflict finally over, what became of the T'Kirem Bear Clan and the Kragsfell Fortress?

'''Dendum''': Others tribes left Krulgon and Krulgon moved tribe home. Clash ended, peace found. The empire stopped expanding in that direction.

'''Aubron of Talador''': Thank you, Dendum, for sharing this remarkable story of the Battle of Kragsfell and the T'Kirem Bear Clan's courage and determination. Why have you been studying such tales and do you think there are any lessons for the empire’s current invasion to the north?

'''Dendum''': Yes, whether it is to the south or the east or now the north you can see the human empire is always looking to grab the lands of others, always expanding. But you can also see that with determination and will that they can be stopped and held back. The Faendryl stopped them the T’Kirem Bear Clan stopped them, the North can also stop them. A hundred years it may take but they can be stopped and will be stopped until the blood lust and land-greed-sickness leaves them and they learn to live in peace with their neighbors.

This new expansion is normal for an empire that has never respected the non-humans around it and, spirits willing, they will learn one day to tend to their own lands and let others live in peace.

We pray to the Great Spirits that one day we can study something less annoying than the empire of humans.

Interviewers Note: ''It should be noted that while the empire did not expand further into the mountains after this conflict they did manage to hold onto all the lands they had claimed prior to the conflict starting.''
