The magic of old is all but gone. The monsters of old legend have disappeared. Man solely inherits the earth. But that is not to say the monsters are gone. No, men are the true monsters. To protect your people will you forge your legacy through steel, or will you scheme to achieve your goals. Will you rush to war or use diplomacy to broker savvy alliances. Will your forge great Trade Republics, or will you shun the outside world to preserve your culture. These are all decisions a great leader must make.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<b><i><span style="font-size: 24px">Lore</span></i></b><br>
<br>
<br>
<i><span style="font-size: 14px">The Monsters of old have nearly disappeared crawling into the deepest holes and the darkest forests. The old races have disappeared and men now inherit the earth. The stories of old have become naught but legends, songs in smoky taverns and spoken by old hags wishing to scare children.   </span></i><br>
<br>
<br>
<b><i><span style="font-size: 24px">Mechanics</span></i></b><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>Each turn will last week unless every player has posted. In this turn each Nation may post one primarily post laying out actions taken, lore, character roleplay, military movements etc. But may also post as many other post as they want about anything other than military moves. Turns encompass 3 months or 1 season. </i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i><b><span style="font-size: 18px">Wars</span></b></i><i>-Wars will be handled by Moderators. Players are responsible for keeping the amount and type of troops they have accurate. Players may post moves to maneuver armies or army strategies but once the battle has started. It will be up to the mods to decide the outcome. </i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i><b>Technology</b></i><i>- Players are able to research new ideas but this will be a slow process. No firearms or super weapons at least for a very long time. Players propose research and timelines. Moderators must approve them though. Also new ideas will spread based on moderated Events. All players have access to tech that medieval kingdoms had in the 12th century. Anything else must be specified in the CS.   </i><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
</span><span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Hordes- </b></span><span style="font-size: 18px">Hordes may migrate out of their lands but need to tell a mod of their movements, or make a through post. Multiple hordes may also start off in the same region. </span><br>
<br>
<br>
Game-Over- Should your Nation or Horde be destroyed and you be removed from power you may chose another nation to play as. Also as the Powers in Frezia grow larger new landmasses will open up allowing players to play Nations outside Frezia.<br>
<br>
<br>
<i><b><span style="font-size: 18px">Rules-</span></b></i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
1.Players are their own moderators on nearly every issue if a mod sees a problem it is that mods right to address it and correct it if the player does not agree they can request another mod address the issue. But in the end a Mod’s decision is final.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
2.No Metagaming</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
3.No Powergaming</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
4.Their will be disagreements it is ok to hate another player's nation but do not confuse that for the person. </i><br>

<b><i><br>
Military </i></b><br>
<br>
<b><i><br>
The Professional Armies of Kovir</i></b><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>For a hundred years the Kings of Kovir have maintained Small but Elite Professional armies to maintain order. Acting as the King's Personal guard and force they form the vanguard of the Royal Kovirian army. Though most Lords and Barons of Kovir field their own professional armies none in the Kingdom match the discipline and experience of the Royal regiments.  </i><br>
<br>
<br>
<b><i>The Kovierian Pikemen</i></b><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>Pikemen serve as the firm center of any Kovierian army. The Pikemen originally hailed from the Northern Lands of Kovir but now come from throughout the Kingdom. Armed with 20 foot pikes and clad in chain or platemail they inflict heavy casualties upon any foe foolish enough to attempt to push through their front and tie down the enemies front to allow flanking actions by the Swordsmen or light Infantry. The pike-squares are reinforced on the flanks by Heavy Swords and Spearmen. For ranged support Kovirian Longbowmen rain volleys upon any enemy foolish enough to come within range and skirmishers from behind the lines pelt the enemy lines with javelins. </i><br>
<br>
<br>
<b><i>Kovirian Guerrillas</i></b><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 14px"><i>The Kovirian guerrillas serve to harass and disorient enemy armies. They often pelt enemy troops with javelins or short bows then just disappear again.  Often infuriating enemy commanders into making rash decisions or attacking without advantage. Drawn from throughout the Kingdom they consist of Hunters from the Crowlands, and Men of the Hill Tribes from the Highlands. Renowned for ability to terrorize enemy armies by torturing captured men just out of reach then sneaking into the enemy encampment to leave the head as a gift. If they do not return the head Hill Tribesmen among them often keep the heads as trophies.</i></span><br>
<br>
<br>
<b><i>Political</i></b><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>After conspiring against the King, Lord Riedesel of the Eastern Wood has been stripped of his lands and wealth. He now rots in a jail cell in the Capital awaiting his execution. This marks the end of several plots against the King’s life. The gallows lie full as dozens of traitors have been rounded up and hung. In his Death Lord Riedesel's lands will be granted to Prince Brandon Blackfyre, the second son of King William. Let this serve as an example of how his Royal Grace handles those who betray him.</i><br>

<i><b>The North</b></i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
Far to the North in the Kingdom of Kovir in the city of Stanlow Lord Bradfyre the Pig, a nickname he does not take kindly to, is holding a feast where all the Lords and Ladies of the North have gathered to celebrate the beginning of the new year. The guests dance joyfully as the rooms smells of ale and lilacs. A lone messenger walks through the banquet and approaches the Lord.  </i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
“May we speak in private m’e lord?” the messenger says with a long look as sweat pours from his brow.  </i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
Lord Bradfyre nods and attempts to stand hobbling towards the back of the room he beacons the man to a separate room away from the noise and prying eyes of the festivities. Unbeknownst to them a lone hooded man follows suit standing near enough to hear.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
“Bad news from the South m’e lord… Our plan has failed. Its seems the Blackfyre’s believe Lord Riedesel responsible for the attempted assassination and plot to overthrow his son. Dozens others have been hung. We can only hope they did not whisper of our involvement.”</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
“Do they suspect our involvement?” The Lord whispered in a hushed tone.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
“That I do not know… I doubt so. You are blood to the King.” The Man said nervously.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
“My son Brandon is the rightful King of Kovir. It is his by birthright. Soon all the Lords of our land will know this. But first we must plan our next move.” he said beaconing towards the door. Two large bannermen entered from the back of the room. As the messenger attempted to leave through the back door one man grabbed him and covered his mouth as the second man drove a dagger into him. The cold steel cut deep and as he let out his last gasp he looked over towards his Lord. Lord Bradfyre simply said.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
“My apologies I can't have loose ends.” he said with a smirk</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
As the body falls to the ground the hooded man quickly disappears into the crowd. </i><br>

<b><br>
</b><b>Terrianian Empire</b><b>- </b>From the moment the explorers from the South entered Kovir, they were followed by Kovirian Guerillas. Near Hold’s Crossing the Guerrillas sprang the trap surrounding and trapping the foreigners. The Guerrillas appeared out of the forest covered in dirt and grime. Some carried javelins or spears while others carried Swords and Axes. Within seconds the explorers were completely surrounded. Yet they did not attack. A large men stepped forward wearing the garb of an officer.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Under order of his Imperial Majesty you are to come with us.” The grizzled officer barked down towards the explorers.<br>

<br>
<br>
"Sire! Sire!" A servant cries to Bruchal as he fumbles his way up the stairs to his throne. Bruchal looks up boredly from his throne, lighting up as he sees the message the servant holds in his hands. Gently plucking the scroll from the kneeling servant, he chortles as he reads the scroll.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Ho ho! We may have the greatest luck! Send for my scroll keeper and a messenger! We will see what they want soon!" The king looks the servant up and down. "And tell the chef to make you a sausage and sauerkraut! You need some meat on those bones boy!" He patted the boy on the arm with his large meaty hand and sat back onto his throne.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Trade Propositions from King Bruchal to The Sand Lord Shah Pharos</b><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>"Mighty Sand Lord Shah Pharos,</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
It has come to my attention that you have trade propositions that I am interested in. My kingdom is selling armor, weapons, and personal blacksmiths for some of the great jewels and rare minerals in the desert!</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
With utmost respect, Bruchal of Boros, King of the Colustinian Republic"</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
</i><br>
<br>
<br>
That message was sent on a lone tradeship to show off some of the Republic's greatest wares.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Alaric's Preparations</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Today, on the 2nd quarter moon of the season, was Bruchal's birthday. Many a townsfolk were to prepare for this, but Alaric was doubly prepared so. He has hired a large amount of menial labor workers to create a parade for Bruchal. And so it was done, on the day of festival, a golden chariot featuring Alaric himself rode through festival's hubbub down mainstreet market and to where Bruchal was challenging a few of his old buddies to a drinking challenge. Alaric, fond of drinking challenges, brought some of the finest brews and gold with him in the chariot.<br>
<br>
<br>
This was two of Bruchal's favorite things in a cool looking chariot. He pointed to himself, and Alaric nodded. Stepping off the chariot, he brought to tankards of beer with him, and chugged the tankard. This was standard, as the king drank with him, an agreement of challenge.<br>
<br>
<br>
The day ended with two lone warriors in a gladiator arena, drunkenly punching and swiping at each other. That fight ended with Alaric and the King returned to the castle with a poor servant trapped between the two as a pillow of sorts.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Military</b><br>

Outriders patrol the borders and Marauders walk the walls.<br>

<br>
<br>
A new sort of weighted "weapon" is being tested by the Chosen. It's long, has a encompassing hand guard, and is designed for disarming with some built in notches for gripping the blade of an enemy, and for pulling the blade out of the enemy's hand.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>The three expeditions.</b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
The northern expeditions. </b>Sir Alabast Meridel of Conquistay rode on horseback, fifty nine of his conquadins rode behind him. The northern lands weren't what they expected, the soldiers shivered and wore their bedrolls as blankets to keep them warm. The north had no sand, and very little warmth. One would say they had traveled a thousand miles north east of the plains of Frezia, and into the more nordic lands, expecting tribes of barbarians, unknowing of the empires that reside there.<br>
<br>
<br>
When they were surrounded, everyone gasped in fear. "To arms conquadins! Halberdiers in the middle, archers in the back and swordsmen in the front!" Sir Meridel ordered, his soldiers getting into the circular formation. The bows poked between the halberdiers, the blades of the halberds poked between the swordsmen with sir Meridel coincidentally, directly in front of the foreign commander.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sir Meridel scanned the situation, and knew he couldn't take any risks. He sighed. "Conquadins, lower your weapons! I'm afraid we will not drop our weapons, but we will follow you and not cause harm, we weren't seeking trouble in the first place." Sir Meridel explained, letting the northerners lead the way.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sir Alanzo Sanachia of Conquistay rode on horseback, fifty nine of conquadins rode behind him. They were used to exploring north, but not this far north. It was colder than before, but they weren't shivering. They knew of the dangers that had arisen in the mid-lands, but not the far north. From the far eastern side of the Terrianian Empire's borders, they had made a b-line north.<br>
<br>
<b><br>
The southern expedition. </b>Lady Melinda Suarez of Conquistay sailed south on her beloved ship, the Aquatic Sword of Suarez, along with her fifty nine man crew. Her main objective was to scout out for the southern empires activities, due to scout reports. By now it was night and she was in a bay to the south of the Kalayri desert, observing a port city from a safe, undetectable distance.<br>
<br>
<br>
She approached one of her conquadins observing the city through a telescope. "Report, soldier, what do you see?" She ordered, the conquadin turned to her and handed her his telescope, which she used to watch the city.<br>
<br>
<br>
"They don't seem to be hostile, they have various trade markets and trade ships fill those docks. We may have found a nice trade ally, but I could be wrong about them. See for yourself." He explains, saluting her. She stops looking through the telescope and hands it too him.<br>
<br>
<br>
"As you were, soldier." She says, the conquadin nodding and returning to his duties. She approached the steering wheel and looked down at her relaxing crew. She cleared her throat.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Conquadins, we shall set up camp along this beach, drop the anchor upon the shore and start setting up the tents." She ordered, the entire crew saluting her and getting ready to make it ashore.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Military</b><br>
<br>
<br>
A force of sixty conquadins are sent to the south aboard a military ship. Nineteen crossbowmen, twenty swordsmen, twenty halberdiers and one commander.<br>
<br>
<br>
A force of sixty conquadins are sent to the north east, all of which are cavalry. Nineteen archer-longsword cavalrymen, twenty longsword cavalrymen, twenty spear cavalrymen and one commander.<br>
<br>
<br>
Another force of sixty conquadins are sent to the north, all of which are cavalry. Nineteen archer-longswords cavalrymen, twenty greatsword cavalrymen, twenty halberdier cavalrymen and one commander.<br>
<br>
<br>
Legionaries at Fayr's Nest are constantly progressing in their training in their spare time.<br>
<br>
<br>
Rangers silently patrol the borders.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Construction</b><br>
<br>
<br>
The church has built two more villages for the poor, although empty, they are building them just in case.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Trade</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Lacking much trade partners, but still working. Husaria has produced a surplus amount of rare minerals, iron, armor and weapons. Hamdia has produced a surplus amount of fabrics, clothes and fruits. Conquistay has conquadins for hire, eager for their next contract. Terra is always a bustling trade city, but they do have a surplus amount of trade items (come to me asking for what you need/want).<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Religion</b><br>
<br>
<br>
In the ironically holy city of Ordia, great numbers of heretics violently revolt against the church and imperial soldiers.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Research</b><br>
<br>
<br>
(equipment)Due to recent reports of Terrianian ships sinking, Marcus Franz seeks to create a more protective hull for the navy's ships. Whether it bee stronger wood or a mineral with protective properties, or a small combination of them both.<br>
<br>
<br>
(construction) Mohamed Lartian seeks to create a nice set of highways connecting the cities, for easier travel and a strange strategy of defense.<br>
<br>
<br>
(weapons)Zen Uralias seeks to give better weapons to the Terrianian Navy, equipping ships with either primitive cannons or ballista's.<br>
<br>
<br>
(infantry) Lanida Merici can't stop thinking of the empires enemies, and their power. She has ordered her advisers to set up recruitment stations within all of the settlements of the empire.<br>
<br>
<br>
(infantry unit/religion. I'd prefer this not to become canon, story wise) Due to recent heretical outbursts in Ordia, the church seeks to recruit holy warriors to "save" those who rebel against the five gods. They seek to form the <b>Terrianian Inquisition, which will consist of Templars, Inquisitors and Clerics.</b><br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Templars</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Much like conquadins, but the fight for the church and only the church. They're trained to seek out and destroy all things heretical, the backbone of the Terrianian inquisition. Given armor in similar stile to the Franzguard uniform, but with less protection and different symbols and colors and a shorter skirt. The holy symbol of the church, five hands cradleing a human child or a sword surrounded by a star, are located on the chest and pauldrons, the color scheme is white with gold. They'll wear helmets, or hoods.<br>
<br>
<b><br>
Inquisitors</b><br>
<br>
<br>
The heavy infantry and the best of the Terrianian Inquisition. Templars must kneel to the inquisitors when one approaches them, and will not rise until told so. Inquisitors are trained to be the greatest zealots of the entire inquisition. Their armor is similar to winged hussar armor, but with different symbols, wings, helmets and colors. Like the templars, the holy symbol of the church is located on their chests and pauldrons and the color scheme is white with gold. Their helmets are armet helmets and their wings are small and resemble that of an angels.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Clerics</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Clerics are the warrior-healers of the inquisition, wearing holy robes with similar color schemes and symbols whilst wielding golden shortswords. A hood with a hat with a wide brim atop it resides atop their heads, long sleeved and loose robes cover their bodies. A necklace with the holy symbol of the church dangling on the bottom. Inquisitors must bow to the clerics, for they have gone through heavy holy training and are being seen as angelic. Training consists of being hermits or fighting a holy war within oneself and committing their lives to the church. The clerics are very peaceful and calming. Legend has it, if one listens closely and sees very well, holy hymns can be heard when they're nearby and a golden aura can be seen surrounding their silhouettes.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Shah Pharos, the Sand Lord.</b><br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Politics</b>: With the rule of the Shah as stable as ever, a large propoganda campaign is started throughout the nation in order to paint him as the messenger of Cyril, carrying the divine word, and law, in his voice. No other Shah has attempted such a heretical thing, but Pharos is a man of great ambition; and zealotry at that.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Economy</b>: With Harandar prospering due to the Kalayrian River, a minor farm tax has now been put in place for all villages, and towns seeking to farm the fertile lands beside the river. The tax is minor, and is likely to earn grumbles, and moans, but little more.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Trade</b>:<br>
<br>
<br>
Shah Pharos remained unmoving, huunched over his table. The man's sharp eyes examining the figures before him, outsmarting oneself at a game of 'Warlords' was a surprisingly difficult task.<i> 'Knock knock knock' </i>the Shah's eyes snapped to the door, and he let out a tired yawn, the uttered words of come in barely audible because of it - it was that cursed steward again, likely here to report a stolen camel, or a missing trade vessel.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Shah Pharos, a sealed message from a cross the ocean waves. It bares the sigil of King Bruchil, of the Colustinian Republic. The trade ship it was sent on was most impressive..." The Shah raised an eyebrow... Interesting news, certainly not what he expected. Pacing over, Pharos took the scroll, and hastily broke the seal; eager to read the contents of the message.<br>
<br>
<br>
A response to King Bruchal:<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>"Good King Bruchal,</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
I am most pleased by this proposition, and understand such a deal could only serve both parties well. I would gladly pursue trade with your people, rare minerals, and grand jewels. For quality armaments! A pact of free-trade, would make such a deal easier still. What say you?</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
With good fortune, Sand Lord Shah Pharos, of the Sunlands of Harandar."</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/profile/25388-surprise-meteors/" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fprofile%2F25388-surprise-meteors%2F&amp;hash=a85022c9a53de28fb0d7c71d5a17e0e2">@Surprise Meteors</a><br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Diplomacy</b>:<br>
<br>
<br>
"Governor Noroc, the guardsmen have made claim of tents in the near-distant beast to our south, foreign invaders, could be. Ought to give them a scare, ride out on an oliphaunt." The martial's words were mocking, but the situation held weight. <i>Foreigners? Covertly set up outside the city? </i>The Governor shook his head, "Send word of the situation to the Sand Lord, but let us ride out and meet these 'foreigners'. I do not enjoy trouble, nor do we have it here at Trader's Bay!"<br>
<br>
<br>
The Governor, armed with a small contingency of 50 Dune Riders, and 10 Horse Lords set out towards the location of said-tents, his heart was beating with anticipation; could it be, a hostile force? If it were so, he hoped he brought enough men. He was no warrior, but a trader, a diplomat, a man of the court and fine foods, and clothing. He prayed to Cyril that the situation favored him today.<br>
<br>
<br>
Not long after, the small cavalry force set at a charge, speeding through the encampment whilst tents were still being set up, and moving erratically to cause max confusion, before they eventually formed a circle around the foreign people, spears angled forward. "Greetings, my friends. What brings you to Harandar, Trader's Bay?" The Governor asked nervously, having gained the battle advantage did little to alleviate his fear.<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<i><b>Military</b></i><i>: </i>A force of 60 Sandmen are sent to scout out the nearby Oasis for potential hostiles. If none are found, orders have been given for a large encampment to be set up, and the borders of the area to be claimed by Harandar.<br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>The Kingdom of the Two Elisias, 1246 </b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
Political: </b>Lord Alonso, for now supreme leader of the Two Elisias, presides over matters of state from his summer home in the hills of Elisia Majoris. Recently, several high profile assassination attempts have forced the dictator to withdraw to his villa under armed guard.<br>
<br>
<br>
Domestically, not much is undertaken save for the execution of several caught assassins by drawing and shattering. In foreign policy, Alonso's administration ends the relative isolationism of the previous administration by sending emissaries to each nation. These emissaries, of course, have the double agenda of spying on the inner workings of foreign governments, but are mainly to negotiate trade deals.<br>
<br>
<b><br>
Economic: </b>Taxes are increased by a margin of about 2% on manufacturing industries to pay to outfit Elisia's military ships with light copper armor over the next six years.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Military: </b>The Elisian military currently numbers 8,000 Halberdiers, 1,200 Spadiccos, 2,100 trained crossbowmen, and 80 almeti heavy cavalry. This does not include the estimated 3,000 town watchmen and garrison forces throughout the country. The Elisian Navy is composed of 30 transport cogs, 12 battle-cogs, and 4 fire-cogs. No troops or ships are currently operating under foreign service.<br>
<br>
<br>
No military action is taken, however, Elisian agents solicit noblemen around the world to hire out Elisian troops as a private army.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Religious: </b>Upon reaching the shores of Elisia, Kovirian missionaries are detained by officials of the Church and are probed for heresy. Despite their heretical beliefs, the missionaries are not tried due to the "innocent ignorance" of their foreign upbringing. They are forbidden from preaching in Elisia, however, and are deported with a signed letter of apology from the Archbishop of Brigantium.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Research: </b>The numberless scribes of the Church's library begin a concerted effort to brew a more effective, fast-acting healing potion based on an old 7th Century manuscript "The Elixir of Life."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Kingdom of Kenteria, 1246</b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
Political: </b>An envoy is sent from Kenteria to the Kingdom of Rodellia, the envoy is to ask for an alliance between the Kingdoms of Kenteria and Rodellia. The firstborn daughter of King Elric Reyva, Ruth Reyva, is offered to King Gregor Beaumont III in marriage if he is to accept this alliance.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Economic: </b>Subsidies are given to current farmers in Kenteria in order to increase production of food and development of Kenterian farms. The Kingdom of Kenteria currently relies on imports for most of it's food as it's lands are undeveloped for farming.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Military: </b>The Standing Army of Kenteria currently consists of 1,600 professional soldiers, 28,000 Kenterian men are available for conscription into the Army in case of war. The Standing Army consists of 800 Halberdiers, 500 Men at Arms, and 300 Kenterian Longbowmen. The Knights of Sial, not considered a part of the Standing Army, consist of around 1,000 Knights and are prepared to fight for the Kingdom at a moment's notice. The Kenterian Army is considered technologically average, the discipline and fighting ability of their soldiers are mediocre. Yet they are famed for their diehard morale, the Army is willing to fight to a last man if the King commands.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Religious: </b>Alongside the envoy to Rodellia are several devout men from the Church of Sial, tasked by the King with converting the Kingdom of Rodellia to the Church of Sial.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Research: </b>After hearing of the use of crossbows from more southern Kingdoms, the King has demanded that the smartest minds of Kenteria begin to research of these crossbows.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b><span style="font-size: 36px"><span style="color: #ff0000">Scythian Expedition To the World</span></span></b><br>
<br>
<br>
The King has heard tales and reports of great kingdoms and empires rivaling the Scythians, This peaked his interest, and immediately began assembling an expedition involving ships and cavalry, to see these empires, and possibly expand to diplomatic relations or expand to their own lands. After all, the Scythians are a proud military nation.<br>
<br>
<br>
Military- 250 Cavalry Archers and 250 Hussars have left the nation, traveling North, West and South. 10 Scythian Warships have left their docks and begun sailing East, South and North. Before they know it, Cavalry have reached Kovir and Colustinia and ships have reached Machdal. Cavalry are on high alert, wandering new and possibly hostile land. But, they just want to do some diplomacy! Ships spot foreign ships, waving foreign banners, the Scythian Ships decide and wait until the foreign ships reach them. Others have reached other nations, wandering around.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-size: 36px"><span style="color: #ff0000">Internal Security</span></span></b><br>
<br>
<br>
With the first military movements into the unknown, a number of citizens are anxious for results, while others, afraid of the thought their loved ones will die, have begun stirring unrest. This is met by further patrols and military presence using Scythian Defenders.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 36px"><span style="color: #ff0000"><b>Resources</b></span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
The King has ordered to expand the Empire into the forests further. Massive logging operations begin, and many a tree fell. The Scythian Empire now has a bunch of logs...will be used for later purposes. Stone operations and mining operations have reached new levels for defending the Empire and building more structures into newly leveled land. Food production is increased to feed the increasing population.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 36px"><span style="color: #ff0000"><b>Research </b></span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
Scythian chemists and blacksmiths have teamed up to create a new scimitar and arrow for the Army. These new weapons are to increase lethality, finesse, quality and maybe even add poison to them.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 36px"><span style="color: #ff0000"><b>Construction</b></span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
Rumors of two new castles being built have been recently confirmed by the Monarchy, one in the Mountains facing the new civilization, while the other facing into the South, wary of possible attacks.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 36px"><span style="color: #ff0000"><b>Foreign Diplomacy</b></span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
Border patrol guards have captured and detained foreign cavalry, though they look to be unarmed. They preach of foreign beings, to which the guards look at them awkwardly. Interrogation of their place of origin are now in session, to which they reply a Kingdom to the North. One guard remembers that the king had sent Cavalry to the North, and so the guards are unsure if this is an act of aggression or...they can’t explain.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 36px"><span style="color: #ff0000"><b>Military</b></span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
The Scythian Army now currently numbers 15,000. 8,000 being highly trained and skilled cavalry archers, 3,000 Hussars serve the scout and light cavalry role, while another 3,000 Knights serve as tanks and breakthrough units, while the remaining are unspecial Defenders. Plans have been discussed to increase military numbers as alarming numbers of other nations and civilizations high then predicted have rose.<br>

<br>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>"Beyond The Dark Forest"</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>For decades, the people of Oseoniel Empire were always curious about what lies beyond the overlapping mountains on the south, behind the mining city - Creaksey Vale. Before the Empire was formed, nobody had that time to go beyond it as wars were very much time-consuming. Even thou that the Empire had been here for two hundred years, the previous rulers were simply not interested in what lies beyond.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
</i><i><b>"We do need more lands soon to increase the output and sources of our resources."</b></i><i> A bald man in a gray robe speaks. </i><i><b>"Not only for the sake of resources but in the future, the population is expected to increase so we need more place to build houses for them."</b></i><i> A tall, middle-aged man speaks this time. A small council is in the progress, inside a room in the Eagle Keep, which is the most inner part of the city of Eridun. King Sebastian III is sitting on a big chair, listening to advises from different people. </i><i><b>"I agreed. I personally always wanted to see what lies beyond those large things too for a long time, this will be a good opportunity."</b></i><br>
<br>
<i><b><br>
</b></i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
King Sebastian III are sending one hundred expedition unit to scout out and bring back news about the land beyond the mountains. It will take months for the scouts to return.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<b><i>Trade &amp; Resources:</i></b><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>Ormshire Harbor is as crowded as usual. Ships of different sizes are going in and out from the dock. After King Sebastian III announced the expedition quest to the North Forest, the government are starting to buy more weapons and armors from the outsiders. The government exchanged foods and lumbers which are wildly produced for weapons and armors. </i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
</i><i><b>Construction:</b></i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
More roads are being paved to allow faster transport of resources and increase the movement speed of troops. This is a wide national project and it will take another few months to finish the construction if nothing goes wrong.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
</i><i>Creaksey Vale is getting another mining site as the miners and geographers recently discovered a new deposit of copper ore in a deep cave. The mining site is expected to be finished in one month.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
</i><i><b>Diplomacy:</b></i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
The Oseoniel Empire are sending three ships coursing to Machdahl. It will take nearly a month to reach the kingdom. The Empire are hoping to establish a trade route between each other. Since the announcement of the expedition quest, the Empire are gathering more weapons and armors they can find and Machdahl is well known for their smithing skills and works. As soon as the ships reach Machdahl, the new copper mining site will be done, and the empire will be trading their copper ores as well as agricultural products for military equipment. Of crouse, only if they agreed.</i><br>

<br>
<i><br>
</i><i><b>Military:</b></i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
The garrisons in every city are reformed and readjusted to ensure the balance of security forces in each city since the expedition quest is going on require troops.</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
The expedition forces will be departing from Crimson Citadel and going into the Dark Forest from Palchyn, which is small town lies in the southeast of the nation.</i></div>

<br>
    <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'">It is the 1st month of the new year, that means that an meeting is in order. King Gregor orders his scribe to call in all members of the Council of Royals.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
    From all corners of Rodellia the commoners see a sight that only occurs three times in a year. The land’s most powerful, influential Lords travel to attend the Council of Royals in Cardell. They travel through the land with a retinue of their most prestigious knights wearing their ceremonial armour.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
    The Council of Royals is a legislature that comes together to make decisions about the well-being of all of Rodellia. A practice that has been in place for generations, the current King holds the most power and chooses when and where meetings are held. The Council is composed of the King and six powerful Lords. Lords throughout the land have power based on the number of hold and towns they control and on their own merit. Currently, Lord Bettencourt holds a majority of power, owning the city of Frechy, Elden Keep, and Leydford.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
At the Council meeting, the Lords are determining what to do about the Third War of Rodellia which involved Lord Gimund Aubert, a Council member in his own right, and Lord Guilbert Ryall, Lord of Alderth. Over the course of the war, Lord Ryall attacked the holds of Aylesbury and Darpley Keep, both owned by Lord Aubert. Atrocities were commited, Lord Ryall’s men burned many of the villages down, and violated the honor of many of the townspeoples. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
The Council meeting went without the threat of a duel, a rarity at these meetings, 5 out of the 7 Council members voted in favor of stripping Lord Ryall of his minor holds of Harle, and Eaghton Keep.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'">    “Ships on the horizon!!”  A soldier stationed on the outmost tower of the small coastal port of Barviel. The ships, bearing no banner, look to be ships not native to Rodellia. As the ships stood out over the water a Knight, Ser Erbalt Wester, shouted for his squire and ordered him to carry a message to the nearby Lord, Lord Denys Montgomery, owner of Garsley and Barviel. The message states that Lord Montgomery should keep his men on the lookout but assures him that this is no more than a few pirates looking for trouble.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
    Bandits have attacked the southern villages and have sacked many of the villages. Lord Godfrae sends 3 regiments, 1,500 soldiers in total, to go combat this threat.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'">    Within Cardell the harbors are constantly bustling with trade and commerce. Recently the harbor has seen a great output of flax and weapons, though not much has been seen coming into the ports. To adjust this King Gregor III has order his Tax Master, Ansgfre, to decrease the daily cost to dock in the harbor. Angfrei has also been tasked with sending letters to Oseoniel and Elisia with the hope of increasing steady trade with these two nations.</span><br>

    King Gregor sits upright in his throne, dressed in his ornate garments speaks in a low voice. “How does King Elric wish to humor me?” </span><br>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
   “He wishes to marry you to his daughter mi’ Lord.” the scribe tells his King, cowering.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
    There is a pause, King Gregor seems to be in thought. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
    After thinking for what seems to be 10 minutes, King Gregor stands and begins pacing. He then stops, turns to scribe and replies. “I will gladly marry King Elric’s daughter. Though, only under one condition: the wedding will take place in Cardell.” </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
   King Gregor then orders the scribe to immediately deliver his reply to King Elric and sends with him a basket of the finest bread and fruit that Rodellia can supply. </span></div>

<b>Harandar</b><br>
<br>
<br>
At the men of Harandar near the Oasis it appears abandoned. The remains of burnt out fires still burn hot as more than a dozens bodies lie scattered around an encampment. As the scouts come closer they realize what has happened here. This is no military encampment but a group of traveling merchants from Traders Bay with their families. It looks like whoever did this took their sweat time. Some of the men lie bound with their throats slit upon the sand while others appear to be tortured. As the scouts combed the encampment one of the scouts heard the faint sound of whimpers coming from a nearby fallen tent.<br>
<br>
<br>
“One still lives.” the man said rushing over towards the sound. As he lifted the tent a young girl appeared before him screaming hysterically covered in blood and bruises. After calming her down she spoke of camel riding demons coming out of the desert sands.<br>

“Clan disputes between Clan Duncan and Boyd in Highlands have escalated in the last few months over grazing rights. Several skirmishes between the young men of both clans took place leading to two deaths and six wounded but the incidents have remained small and unimportant until now.

<br>
A group of traveling mercenaries have appeared in the Capital, one among them claims to be an engineer.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Your grace, I have traveled the lands of the South and the North. I have seen weapons of war throughout the world. The great boats of Machdahl, the oliphaunts of the South, the Crossbows of Elisa, and far more. I am a poor man you understand. For a fair price I can share with you secrets your grace.”<br>
<br>
<br>
The King’s close advisor speaks up. “And how do we know your telling the truth old man?”<br>
<br>
<br>
"Why would I lie to a King?” the engineer said in a rotten smirk.<br>

The ancient scrolls seem to reveal a recipe for potion of life. The recipe is simple and the ingredients can easily be foraged from the Island. The problem is no one wishes to test it upon themselves, fearing it might be poison. One scholar proposes using prisoners to test the formula while another proposes using animals.<br>

A holy man approaches speaking to Marcus Franz “Missionaries have arrived from Kovir, their heretical beliefs have begun to sway many of the poor to their false faith. Shall we send this heathen’s heads back to their homeland?”<br>
<br>
<br>
A diplomat of Terriania steps forward “What will a few peasants worshipping a flame do to harm us. Let them worship who they wish. This may buy us favor with the Kingdom of Kovir.”<br>

“Your Grace, the scouts have returned from South of the Mountains. They spoke of an exotic abandoned civilization. Large cities built of stone that now lay in ruins and a strange foreign tongue that lines the walls. Could this be a relic of something non-human? The lands also seem just as if not more fertile than our own. It is peculiar no one dwells in those lands though.”</div>

Under order of his Royal Grace the Third Royal Regiment of Two thousand men is to moved from Watford to Balor's Hold to secure the Crossing. The regiment consists of nine hundred Elite Pikemen, two hundred Longbowmen, two hundred Halberdiers, one hundred Skirmishers, two hundred heavy swordsmen, one hundred heavy Calvary, and three hundred Highlander light infantry.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Halberdiers</b><br>
<br>
<br>
The royal Halberdiers serve as heavy infantry capable decimating infantry formations. These elite infantry often flank behind the enemy force striking in the rear as the pikes tie down the main force. The Royal Halberdiers are drilled constantly to hone their art to a perfection.<br>

<br>
<b>Longbowmen</b><br>
<br>
<br>
The Longbowmen of Kovir hail primarily from the Eastern Wood. These former Hunters and trackers have now fine tuned their skills for the art of Combat. Capable of delivering powerful volleys far beyond the range of the shorter bows Frezia Longbows inflict severe casualties upon any enemy foolhardy to come within range.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Political</b><br>
<br>
<br>
“How dare he challenge my honor.” Prince Jorah said to the King pacing back and forth down the throne room.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Patience son, we will have vengeance but for now we need to avoid a war.” King William said examining the enraged prince.<br>
<br>
<br>
“He slanders me, calls me a bastard and declares me unfit to rule. What do we do?  We just let him hide in the North?” The Prince began clench his fist as if in rage.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Yes for now.” King William said scratching his chin in deep thought.<br>
<br>
<br>
“This is cowardice, we should march up to the gates of Stanlow with our armies and kill every Bradfyre that still lives.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“And give him them the war they want. No.” King William bellowed<br>
<br>
<br>
“You think they had nothing to do with the attempted assassination father?” The Prince spoke with a raised brow<br>
<br>
<br>
“I know they did, but we must not let them know.” said King William<br>
<br>
<br>
“Send Word to Lord Bradfyre the Pig, that I Jorah Blackfyre challenge his son to a duel. We shall meet on neutral ground in the Highlands.”<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Festivities</b><br>
<br>
<br>
The Great Spring Fair of Kovir has erupted across the Kingdom. Each year at the beginning of fall the peasants and lords alike of the Kingdom gather together to thank Astor for melting away the snow to clear way for a bountiful planting and harvest. In the Capital merchants from throughout Frezia line the streets selling everything from wine to slaves. The whole city is alive and drunk.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Conclave</b><br>
<br>
<br>
As the Spring Fair raged throughout the city the great Religious minds of Kovir convened in the Royal Keep.<br>
<br>
<br>
“It is blasphemy to claim Astor dwells in the shape of a man.” one of the old men shouted towards his colleague.<br>
<br>
<br>
“And it is Blasphemy to claim you represent Astor as Divinely appointed.” the man said back.<br>
<br>
<br>
King William stood up and spoke above the two bickering men “Gentlemen and holy men we are here to find the truth not fight amongst ourselves. As I was chosen by Astor by my divine right of Kingship I will make the decisions by which we shall worship. Astor never dwelled in the body of man, second as King I shall serve as the head of the church with a clear structure of Holymen below me to carry out our Lord’s will.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“And What of the teaching of Astor shall they all go into the Great Book?”<br>
<br>
<br>
“No. We today shall chose what is divine law.”<br>
<br>
<br>
“Blasphemy.” A man yelled out from the back.<br>
<br>
<br>
King William interrupted the man “Guards remove that man. Mark this.” he said to the men around him “You are either with me or my enemy.”<br>
<br>
<br>
The rest of the men stood quietly as the King chose between the stories and lessons to place inside the new holy text. “Today we make history gentlemen, today is a new age.”<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Natural Sciences</b><br>
<br>
<br>
“Under Order of his Imperial Grace a Royal Academy, the first of its kind, is be constructed in Novigrad. Men of science from throughout the realm are to be teach and study on behest of his Grace. The academy will possess multiple Schools of learning. From History, Language, Engineering, Mathematics, or even healing.”<br>
<br>
<b><br>
Highlands</b><br>
<br>
<br>
"Under order of his Grace King William Blackfyre an investigation shall take place to examine the razed hamlet to determine who perpetrated the act. In the mean time there shall be no further conflict between the Clans. Elders from both Clans are summoned to a joint meeting to work out the problem of grazing rights." Chancellor Frederic Blackfyre<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Foreign</b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
Elisa</b><br>
<br>
<br>
“As King of Kovir, I William Blackfyre thank you for the safe return of our missionaries. The men of Elisa will always have a seat at my table.” Signed King William Blackfyre<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Terrianian Empire</b><br>
<br>
<br>
The streets of Novgorod are alive as the explorers enter the city. The Spring festivities have just begun. The explorers are led towards the Royal Keep. A large formidable structure high upon the Western Hill overlooking the bay. Ser Gormen the commander of King’s Royal Guard approaches the explorers.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Our King would like to speak to whoever is in command.” Ser Gormen then beacons the officer inside. Entering into the large Throne room the officer sees men from throughout the Kovir. The walls are lined large Red Banners while the Floors are covered in fine carpets from throughout Frezia.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Welcome to my Kingdom,may I ask why a force so large of armed men has trespassed in my Kingdom? Are you scouts from foreign Army come here to pillage my lands? Are you mercenaries?”<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>The Oseoniel Empire</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Freidrick Fromm, the royal Ambassador to his Grace, King William Blackfyre, arrives in The Oseoniel Empire. "King William Blackfyre of Kovir would like to cement our relationship as friends and allies. To bring this to fruitarian King William's first born son Jorah, a strong and quick man, asks for your Royal Highness's daughters hand in marriage. This union would bring our two great Kingdoms into a new era. Through this only good things come. Our ports lie full of iron and lumber while your fleets patrol your royal coasts."</div>

<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0)">Footsteps echoed on the marble floors of the sleepy villa where the supreme leader of Elisia slept. A small man dressed in a bright courier's uniform was walking at a blistering pace past guards standing at the ready with crossbows and halberds. After a long walk down a vaulted hall decorated by brilliant frescos, the courier reached the large dark oak doors of the Lord's chambers. The guards at either side pushed the door in on great brass knockers and closed it behind him.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
On the other side of the door, Lord Alonso sat writing furiously with a quill on his dark mahogany desk. Behind him, in the grand chamber, a bed as large as some hovels rose from the floor. Beyond that, glass doors revealed a garden filled with court acoyltes and women in loose-fitting gowns. The courier thought he saw a figure move in the tossed sheets of the bed, but averted his eyes, being a good and religious man.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
"My lord," the courier spoke, "a letter from the Blackfyres of Kovir."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
Alonso looked up from his desk and snatched the letter. He glanced over it. "What nonsense is this?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
"A few of his missionaries were detained recently by Church officials. They were returned safely, despite their heathenish beliefs."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
Alonso only grumbled. "Leave me. I have... important matters to attend to.." He glanced towards the bed.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
"Good day, my lord." The courier said, quickly scurrying out of the room and concealing a red face. This villa made him uncomfortable and he would be glad to have left it.</span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>The foreigners</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Marcus lowers his eyebrows. "Do not refer to them as peasants, they're the poor, people we should feel sorrow for. We are lucky that they're still a minority." He explains. "And, about these foreigners, I shall head to the poor village that they've visited. I want ninety nine franzguard and two political advisers to come with me. I want you to inform the other councilors as well." Marcus decides as he heads to his personal armory.<br>
<br>
<br>
Within a couple of hours, Marcus Franz and his men rode to the village. Within another few hours, they made it to the village and rode inside. People kneeling towards Marcus Franz as they approached the foreigners. "Greetings from Terrian, I am sorry for the scare of my soldiers, but with our neighbors, we can't be too careful. Now please, state who you are and what your motives are or I will be forced to execute you for heresy. I know you've been telling my people of this... flame." Marcus said to the foreigners.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>The southern encounter</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Lady Melinda Suarez' eyes widened as she saw the incoming cavalry. "To arms conquadins! Crossbowmen, on the deck of the ship! Halberdiers, phalanx! Sworsmen, in front of them!" She ordered as her soldiers scrambled into positions, forming a circular formation as he crossbowmen made it onto the deck of the ship. The blades of the halberds inches from the spears, the crossbowmen were aiming perfectly between the eyes of the cavalrymen.<br>
<br>
<br>
Melinda steps forward. "I am lady Melinda Suarez of Conquistay of Terrian. I assure you that we come in peace, we are explorers, conquadins, of the Terrianian Empire. We were sent here by the Terrianian Empire to scout out the activities of our southern neighbors." She explained.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>The northern kingdom</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Sir Alabast Meridel, seeing that this man is royalty, removed his helmet and knelt before the throne. "I am sir Alabast Meridel of Conquistay of Terrian, me and my conquadins are explorers from the south. The reason why we have such a force is due to our neighbors, we can't be too careful. We come in peace and mean no harm. We would like to make negotiations between your kingdom and mine, the Terrianian Empire." Sir Meridel explained.<br>
<br>
<b><br>
Western Colonization</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Terrianian ships sail to an island off their western coast, carrying 400 imperial soldiers, 100 Terran legionaries with 100 sand legionaries and 200 hussars, and 600 colonists. 20 galleass and 30 civilian cogs. Unknowingly, they're heading to an island that the Elisians are heading to. The Terrianians do not wish for war, but if it comes to that, they will.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Eastern spreading</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks to successful recruiting, Lanida Merici has massed a force large and strong enough to spread the empires reach eastward. She stands in Fayr's Nest, addressing the elite legionaries and her own soldiers. "Soldiers of Terrian, today will be the spark that ignites the flame of eastward expansion for our beloved empire! From here, at Fayr's Nest, and not stopping until we reach the western coast! This, and you, will go down in history! Join me, soldiers of Terrian!" She says, giving unbreakable morale to her thousands of soldiers, whom cheer for her.<br>
<br>
<br>
A few days later, they march, on horseback, westward, claiming all unclaimed land as they go.<br>
<br>
<b><br>
Religion</b><br>
<br>
<br>
The heretics have been slain by the empires soldiers, sadly, the inquisition couldn't have been formed.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Research</b><br>
<br>
<br>
(recruitment)Marcus Franz orders his advisers to set up recruitment stands alongside Lanida Merici's attempts to do so.<br>
<br>
<br>
(ships) Zen Uralius continues to research ways to both arm the ships of the Terrianian Navy with better balistas and better hull-piercing javelins for the balistas and giving them better hulls (iron, copper, stronger wood or a combination of stronger wood and one or both of the metals).</div>

<br>
A spotter has recorded that a campsite has been set up outside the city limits for several months now, and has sent a flag of the nuisance outside the gates. Bruchal simply said "Send the Guardsmen." After a few days of questioning, the 'Terrainians' were welcomed into the city on one condition. The Terrainians were to keep their religion to themselves, and to accept Colustinia's great sausages.<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
A group of Kovirian missionaries appeared at the gates shortly after, claiming the fire of the undying flame was the only way to see heaven. The religious council of Jhort had something to say about that, and they excommunicated the heathens from their peaceful, undisturbed, city of horses. The Outriders personally escorted them out of the city by horseback in an honor guard to Korvir. Seeing this as an opportunity, merchants have trailed alongside the honor guard.<br>

New ship designs are on the table, with new ships purely created for merchants to travel back and forth between the waves.<br>
<br>
<br>
The king has fallen sick! Possibly due to too much alcohol! A team 100 of Republic Knights and 30 Chosen are sent to the west to find some sort of healing elixir, whilst at Colustinia, a distress message has been sent to Harandar for the creation of any healing elixir, while the king still has time!<br>

<br>
An additional expedition of 400 men (200 Republic Knights, 100 Outriders, 70 Chosen, 30 Guardsmen) has been sent to the North to greet the Scythian neighbors. They bring foods and gold, along with a letter with the king's seal to grace the parchment.<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>"Greetings King Katioior And Queen Tomiri,</i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
In recent events, we have not branched out to each other yet, and I feel ashamed that I have not greeted you in person with a good shake, as I am afflicted with a disease and must take shelter. But, the caravan I have sent is a repayment for the missed opportunity. </i><br>
<br>
<i><br>
As your neighboring kingdom, I ask if we may for an alliance, for fighting a kingdom so close and familiar is needless, and only causes harm for the both of us.</i><br>
<br>
<br>
<i>-For the protection of the people, King Bruchal"</i><br>

<b>Commerce</b><br>
<br>
<br>
The proposed pact of free trade has been signed between the two kingdoms, allowing both ports to be filled with armaments and fine jewels.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Agriculture</b><br>
<br>
<br>
More and more logging is taking place inside the kingdom, and the harvest season is only beginning! Food and livestock thrive within Colustinia's arms.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Kingdom of Kenteria, Turn 2</b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
Political: </b>King Elric Reyva accepts the proposal to hold the marriage in Cardell. He boards a ship to Rodellia, bringing with him 100 Knights of Sial as well as many luxurious gifts. An escort of six Kenterian Warships is arranged for the King's fleet to Rodellia.<br>
<br>
<br>
Before the King leaves, he offers the engineer a hefty sum for his knowledge of the Crossbows.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Economic: </b>Kenterian farmland is under constant develop and food production has increased substantially.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Military: </b>Plans for the construction of a fort on the river between the Kingdom of Kovir and the Kingdom of Kenteria begin.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Religious: </b>The small group of devout men sent to Rodellia begin teaching the inhabitants of Cardell about the Church of Sial.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Research: </b>Kenterian Engineers have managed to create a large machine that resembles a crossbow. Yet it requires many men to move, takes time to reload, and is prone to breaking down. It is named the Ballista and is to be presented to the King on his way back.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>The King of Coloustinia is in Peril! </b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
</b><br>
<br>
<br>
After a successful test of the Elixir, which has shown it has even the restorative abilities to mend broken bones, the Church authorizes the bottling and storage of the elixir for emergencies.<br>
<br>
<br>
After a week, a Coloustinian ship arrived in Brigantium. The government courier aboard beseeched the aid of the closest cleric to the docks, speaking wild-eyed of healing potions to heal their king. After going through several men of the cloth, he is finally met by a pair of men wearing long white robes with red trim and wearing special breathing masks filled with herbs that concealed their faces, members of the Sanitation Commission. The figure reached a long spindly hand out and drew a glass bottle filled with a silvery liquid almost like mercury from his robes.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Show us to the patient." One of the men said in a muffled voice through his mask.<br>
<br>
<br>
After a day or so, a team of physicians and priests (there was very little difference in Elisia) had boarded a ship for Coloustinia loaded down with medical equipment and carrying their special elixir as a last resort.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>The Isle of Delbora, Near Terrainia </b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
</b><br>
<br>
<br>
By the time the Terrainian expedition reaches the island, the Elisian settlers have been there a week and have already constructed a very small makeshift village with a town hall, church, and barracks. High on the hill nearby, soldiers and monks are busy quarrying stones for the monastery they plan to build there. Of course most of the settlement was still a patchwork of tents.<br>
<br>
<br>
When the Terrainians arrive, they run up on a small fleet of cogs throwing fishing nets into a bay. A sandy beach rose up behind them sporting the flag of Elisia and a few small fishmonger's huts. Most of the ships that had convoyed the colonists here had left to return with more supplies. Behind the huts, the wooden spire of the church rises above some of the gently waving palm trees.<br>
<br>
<br>
Using a form of semifore, which the Terrainians may or may not understand, a man on the shore asks the foreign ships to weigh anchor and send their leader ashore.</div>

<br>
<b><br>
The fifty men sent to </b><b>Despar, Morva, Sendoe, Vike, and Filpo each were engaged by outlaws or barbarians, the garrisons eventually ran them out of the area. Any children, women, elderly, or injured found were slaughtered and fed to the dogs, they didn't have enough food to take captives. King Domator has sent troops to refill the ranks of each garrison accordingly. Outlaws and Barbians in the area have gone farther east. The raiders return from Rodellia, cattle is sold at low prices and slaves are put to work. </b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
</b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
</b><b><i>Political</i></b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
A feast is thrown in the name of King Domator and the Raiders who suffered few casualties. They all get terribly drunk in the great hall. Foreign ships come to Machdahl, they are allowed entry to speak to King Domator. A merchant begins an argument with a guard about religion, the bodies of many of the merchants are burned and the living are sent back to their country with reparations. </b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
Previous public votes have decided to build a few more wind mills to help poor wheat farmers, King Domator funds the project.</b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
</b><b><i>Trade and Commerce</i></b><br>
<br>
<b><br>
Though permanent trade with the Oseoniels is very unlikely ten low income merchants were permitted to go back with the three ships, in good will. Two dozen swords, half a dozen shields, a dozen bows, and two dozen axes are sent as a gift and as reparations for killing heretics of Oseoniel. </b><br>

In addition, a letter is sent to all Governors in Harandar to have their forces drilled, in-case a future reserve is needed.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
In an effort to increase civilian happiness within Harandar, Pharos has issued a new a programme in which several highly decorated, and grand-looking oliphaunts will travel the realm, visiting cities, towns, and small villages alike, and dropping surpluses of food and clothing. This is to cement the loyalty of the people, and show them their Shah does indeed care.</span><br>

The Merchant Guilds of Trader's Bay are skeptical over trading with the Elisians due to the recent colonization of an isle to the east, Trader's Bay is the closest city to these isles, and is at direct threat. The Governor of Trader's Bay expresses an interest in trade, but demands an answer over the event; citing those isles have been unoccupied for generations, and being so far from Elisia; and close to Harandar, could only be a direct threat.</span><br>

After receiving an urgent warning from the Governor of Trader's Bay, Shah Pharos gives permission for several hundred volunteers to set-sail for the other isles unoccupied by the Elisians. Due to the impossibility of colonizing so much at once, the men and women are given supplies enough for several years, and told only to set up camps - claiming the isles for Harandar.</span><br>

The Governor wrinkled his nose at the women, his beady eyes staring at her for an awkwardly long amount of time. "You come in peace, yet bare arms at us whilst in our lands?" He gave a scoff, looking her up and down. "Lower your weapons, and be escorted to the King." The Governor spoke, with more confidence than before. "Must I point out you're severely outnumbered, and my archers will make swift work of those on your ships."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
He then gave a light chuckle, "Oh no, we do not intend to fight you. I am not a fool, no. If you refuse to lower your weapons, and come with me in peace. I intend to ride the way I came; when we return, it won't be so equal. I've already given the order for reinforcements." He finally explained, a smirk itching at his previously nervous lips. He was relieved she had peaceful intentions, truthfully the man despised violence; but he was a man of Harandar, they had to appear strong, and fearsome; if she truly was an envoy, she should have no qualms traveling unarmed.</span><br>

The colonization of the island of Delbora is being undertaken to provide Elisia with a lucrative source of spice, bananas, coconuts, and alchemical herbs. Very few military personnel were sent to the island and no fortifications are planned. The Elisian government is even willing to allow Harandar to settle the southern half of the island as a show of good will, or at least maintain a military presence.</div>

The Terrianian colonists and navy personnel understood the form of somaphore. "Drop the anchors and I'll head ashore!" Captain Leofidas Seraf said to one of his crewmen.

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>The King of Kovir and the Terrianian Conquadin</b><br>
<br>
<br>
King William Blackfyre sat high above the Room atop his throne staring down at the foreigner.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sir Alabast Meridel continues to kneel before the kings and queens of Kovir, awaiting their response.<br>
<br>
<br>
The King motions for the man to stand and asks "What do you want of my Kingdom?"<br>
<br>
<br>
Sir Meridel stands and continues to hold his helmet under his arm. "I originally never knew your kingdom existed, my lord. In fact, I don't even think everyone in the empire that I belong to knows of your existence. I seek nothing more than trade and perhaps an alliance between your kingdom and the empire I belong to."<br>
<br>
<br>
"I have heard of your Empire. Trade benfits us all, but what of this alliance you speak of? How can I trust you?" The King says glaring down from his throne<br>
<br>
<br>
"Sir, we cannot afford betrayal. With our position and numbers, we have no choice but to savoir everything we have." Ser Meridel explains.<br>
<br>
<br>
"So tell me of your Empire?" The King said raising a brow<br>
<br>
<br>
Sir Meridel cleared his throat. "The Terrianian Empire stands in the far south of the plains of Frezia, trapped between major threats to the south and north. To our knowledge, we are probably the smallest empire. Due to this, we cannot be too careful. The Terrianian Empire is lead by four councilors, three kings and one queen, and each single and trained to the utmost extent to put the people of Terrian first. That is all that I can say for now, my lord." Sir Meridel explains.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Why all the elaborate complications of Governance, why not one leader?" The King said listening intently.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Well, with multiple leaders who each are trained heavily to hate oppression and put the people first, since birth, who monitor each other, there is no possibility of there being a heavily oppressive ruler." Sir Meridel explained.<br>
<br>
<br>
"So do you view all governments led by one man as tyrannical?" King William says raising his brow in suspicion<br>
<br>
<br>
"No my lord, we just see it as a risk we cannot-will not take. Unlike your people." Sir Meridel said.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Tell you what.... I'll open trade with your empire. Who are your leaders?" The King says glancing down towards the man.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sir Meridel smiled and nodded. "King Marcus Franz of Terra. Queen Lanida Merici of Husaria. Sultan Mohamed Lartian of Hamdia. King Zen Uralias of Conquistay." He said.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Does Queen Lanida Merici have a husband?"<br>
<br>
<br>
"No, my lord. She rules Husaria on her own, but rules the empire alongside the other councilors. Like I said before, each councilor must remain single until they're no longer a councilor, if they're alive. When a councilor reaches the age of which they cannot continue to rule, they will head off and die in battle." Sir Meridel explained<br>
<br>
<br>
"The Kovirian People many times gain trust through marriage, it is often difficult to trust outsiders. In Kovir alliances are often cemented through marriages. I would propose a royal marriage but it seems that is out of the question. A trade deal and a nonaggression pack will serve Kovir well. On top of this an ambassador from Kovir will return with you and I ask that you send an ambassador to Kovir on you return." The King says grudgingly<br>
<br>
<br>
Sir Meridel cocks his head to the side and raises his brow after hearing how the Kovirians gain trust. But he shakes it off. "It will be done my lord, me and my men will safely escort your ambassador and escort our own here." He said, bowing once more.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Then you may depart. Safe Travels." The King said dismissing the men and turning towards other business.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sir Meridel bowed and made his way out of the castle, once he was out, he sighed in relief. "What did he say, sir?" One of his soldiers asked. "We are to escort an ambassador to our lands, we might have a northern ally." He smiled.</div>

At first Harandar’s army found nothing among the ruins of the oasis. But then they found tracks leading away from the oasis. The tracks carried deep into the blistering desert sands.<br>

“Forty men. Maybe more. These are not the tracks of monsters but of men.” The lead scout says, glancing towards his Shah.<br>

The leader of the Elisian expedition was remarkably...short. The diminutive leader emerged from a nearby tent, perhaps four foot and six inches tall. He wore a red waistcoat, billowy cotton shirt, knee-high trousers and boots, and walked with a pencil behind one ear. His thinning hair was snow white and he seemed to be of considerable age, although he did not show wrinkles or wear eyeglasses.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Greetings, Captain." He said, nodding to each of the soldiers with him. "To what do I owe the pleasure of entertaining the whole Terrianian Navy?" He asked with a hearty laugh. "I am Cadamiro La Vacaz, Lord of Elisian Delbora."</div>

    <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'">Walking through the training grounds all Wyman Maistre, High Constable of the Realm, could do was shake his head. “Rubbish.” he thought, “These men wouldn’t last a minute in the heat of battle, they are poorly conditioned and poorly trained.” Turning to his page he spoke, “Go fetch me the sarjeant in charge of training this rabble.” </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
    Within minutes the sarjeant began walking over, a man of short stature and a slender build, he looked as though he was not fit to handle a Rodellian Longsword properly. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
    When the man finally reached the High Constable he bowed his head and spoke, “Is there a problem High Constable?”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
  “What are you doing with my men sarjeant?” Ser Wyman spoke, looking off at the soldiers fumbling with their spears and swords. Refusing to make eye contact is a sign of disrespect in Rodellia.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
    The sarjeant, expressing hatred for the High Constable speaks in a gruff tone, “Why Ser, I am following orders and training the men for combat.” </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
    Ser Wyman lets out a chuckle, “Combat?” He retorts, “these men wouldn't last a minute against even petty bandits!”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
   “I disagree Ser!” expressing disdain for the barrage of insults. “These are some of the finest recruits I have trained!”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
   With a grim smirk High Constable Wyman replies, “You best watch your tone sarjeant, or must I remind you what happens to insubordinates?” </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
   Before the sarjeant can speak, the High Constable begins to walk away. Before he exits he turns and issues one last order. “I will return in three weeks time. If these men are not combat-ready by then, there WILL be consequences.”</span><br>

<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Festival of the Sun</b></span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'">Every year during the time of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, there is a festival that occurs throughout Rodellia. During this week travelers from all the lands come to celebrate and be merry. Not only is there good food and drink but there is an excess of gambling and brothels light up with many customers looking for someone to fancy them. While all of Rodellia celebrates most of the partying takes place in Cardell, the Golden City, and Leyemont, the trading hub of the Western Reaches. During this period the King’s Royal Guard is put on high alert as many former kings have fallen prey to assassinations. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
While much of Northern Rodellia is in a drunken stupor, Southern Rodellia is foreign to the excessive celebration. Instead, many village folk reside in their holds and worship Astor for being so gracious to give a long day so they may work in the fields. This is one of the most productive weeks in Rodellia as the simple folk choose to not party but to work even harder as they are granted an opportunity to work and better themselves through prayer to Astor, Lord of Fire.</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="font-size: 18px">Political</span></span></b><br>
<br>
<br>
    <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'">With the recent raid on Rodellia’s northern coast Lord Montgomery is outraged. “Two dozen cattle! Gone!” he rages in front of the Council of Royals. “No one has anything to say for it either! Should we not retaliate and track down these brigands?”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
    Lord Aufrye, ruler of Galbury, a hold frequently targeted for raids, stands. “Lord Montgomery,” he says, a stern tone in his already gruff voice, “you must realize that we are not responsible for what happens in your keepings. You know that.”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
    “This is outrageous! I have families starving because they lost all of their cattle! How do you expect me to compensate them?” Lord Montgomery asks.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
Lord Aufrye begins to reassure his close friend. “Denys, you mustn’t fret. One of my lookouts told me they saw Machdahl ships in close proximity when your lands were raided.”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
Everyone in the councilroom, shocked by this news, begin to weigh in. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
“Why would Machdahl risk war?” Lord Gimund Aubert asks.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
“We should take the fight to them!” says Lord Walbert Dufay.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
After some time and bickering between councilmembers, King Gregor stands and begins to look out of the nearby window. In deep thought, he weighs on what to do in the situation. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
“Still staring out into the window he speaks, “So, King Domator thinks that he should attack our homeland and endanger our citizens.”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
“I believe that we should invite King Domator to our home and see if we will be able to come to an agreement.” King Gregor says, a hint of sarcasm in his voice, and a smirk on his face.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
“Lord Godfrae!” King Gregor yells, a plan forming in his head. “Go fetch a scribe and tell him to invite King Domator to our lovely Capital so that we may speak.”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Royalty</b></span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'">    The wedding between King Gregor and Ruth Reyva went smoothly and increased relations between the two nations. The wedding ceremony had a large crowd of 10,000. It was held in the ornate Church of the One, in the center of Cardell. The King wore a ceremonial red cloak with gold and white garments underneath. After the wedding a party was thrown in Cardell and throughout all of Rodellia. Drink and food was imported from all lands and the party went long into the night. Throughout the ceremony, which lasted a week, King Gregor began to befriend King Elric and improve relations with the Kingdom of Kenteria.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
   </span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'georgia'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><b>Religion</b></span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
    Recently, missionaries from foreign lands have begun to try and convert much of Rodellia’s population to their faith. While they have successfully converted many of the foreigners that reside in many of Rodellia’s large trade cities, they have had very little success converting much of Rodellia’s native population. In some of the small towns in the Western Reach and the Southlands though, the foreign missionaries are met with stern resistance from the townspeople. The missionaries are often threatened and some are even beaten by the local Ministers of Astor and townspeople.</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'">To combat this growing problem, which has seen a growing outrage by the simple folk, who claim they are victims of heresy, King Gregor has released messages to all nations who send missionaries to Rodellia. The message requests that all foreign missionaries are recalled and if they are not Rodellia shall not be held responsible for their fate. It also bans the practice of spreading faith in Rodellia. All foreign missionaries will be forcefully taken into custody and escorted to the borders of Rodellia.</span><br>

The position was appointed after a week long tourney that involved jousting, war games, and dueling. Points were awarded to all candidates based on how they finished in each event. At the end of the week Ser Payn had won by a margin of +8 and was represented with the ceremonial Sword of the Protector. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><br>
Ser Payn has been tasked with raising a standard force of 2,000 men to serve has his personal host and a fort will be built on the bank of the Nardenes River, the river that separates Eastern Rodellia from the lands beyond its borders.</span><br>

I am captain Leofidas Seraf, it is a pleasure to meet you Cadamiro La Vacaz. We arrived here with the intent of colonizing this island, it seems you've beat us to the punch. Shall we share the ilsand? We'll help you with the construction and assist in major ammounts of trade. Due to lack of partners, we have quite a bit of surplus items to trade."

					<div class="bbWrapper">"These terms are agreeable to me." Said Cadamiro, marking on a sheet of parchment with a pencil. When he was done, he handed the parchment to the Terrainian. It was a map of the island reflecting the shore in great detail but largely the inland areas were blank and unmapped.<br>
<br>
<br>
"That is a copy of a 12th Century map that was made by Lord Taravaz, the Navigator. There is a favorable landing area with a deep bay about forty leagues to the south surrounded by a stand of tropical trees. That was the second best place on the island to settle. The creek, about six miles to the south of us, is the furthest extent of our land claim. The rest will be fine, although in the interest of peace we ask you not settle directly on the borders of the land we have already claimed."</div>

<br>
a total of 20 rangers hide cleverly within the foliage surrounding the Khan encampment. Their hoods cover their eyes as they watch some form of heretic tribal ritual take place within one of the tents. "These are the Khans... They send an envoy begging for slaves <i>and</i> gather north of our borders ready for war... Bastards." A ranger scoffs. "We must inform the generals of this, me and you will head back, the rest of you, use guerrilla tactics if they mobilize for war." A ranger captain orders as he and the other ranger silently rush back to their horses.<br>
<br>
<br>
Marcus Franz, hearing the envoy's request, raises an eyebrow. He thinks to himself, "I'm not going to surrender my citizens to them... Thankfully we have enough prisoners that'll meet their liking, thank the gods they're mostly beautiful women." He thought to himself.<br>
<br>
<br>
Marcus then cleared his throat. "Very well then, you'll have all that you requested by tomorrow, please, sign this document of peace. Or this one, for alliance." Marcus said, holding a pen and two papers to the leader of the envoy.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Military</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Hussars from across Terrian, and soldiers at Fayr's nest, train heavily at the news of a gathering army.<br>
<br>
<br>
20 skilled rangers continue to keep watch of the encampment, using the trees to shield them from the heavy rain.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Politics/deplomacy</b><br>
<br>
<br>
10,000 gold ducats along with 500 horses, a years supply of grain and other necessities alongwith 1,000 prisoners (slaves), mainly women, are sent to the northern territory.</div>

A new Threat Arises</b><br>

<br>
  Hailing from Boros, a new contender has begun to make moves towards the throne. Asgor served as an marauder for years until being promoted to serve as an outrider. Asgor appears as a mountain of a man. His stout appearance is matched only by his skill with the axe. Many throughout the Kingdom have begun to support Asgor as the next King.<br>

  “My Shah….Within weeks of breaking ground the first mine struck what appeared to be a large silver deposit. As more and more earth was uncovered the scale of this deposit was revealed to be larger than we initially speculated. The second and third mines have so far found nothing. Should we continue work on the first mine and cease digging on the second and third?”<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Foreigners</b><br>
<br>
<br>
“Shah of Harandar, I speak on behalf of the men of Desert Sands . Your people were trespassing on our lands. They polluted our holy place with their stench and had to be removed. On behalf of my King, I ask you to remove yourself from our lands and return to whatever backwards land you hail from heathen. Should you not leave far more of your people shall die and so will you.”<br>

  The Great Engineer from the South credibility continues to wane as his schematics and models are not based upon any science but merely what he saw in foreign lands. If this was not enough he has been using the King’s name to amass quite a debt throughout the Kingdom claiming the King will pay it on his behalf.<br>

As the Settlers begun to ease into their new home off the Terrianian coast they soon realized they are not alone. In the forests near the center of the Island strange markings dot the trees. In the first couple of weeks it was just livestock but soon people began to go missing as well . Many in the settlement believed they had merely run away or gotten lost. This was all put to rest around two months into the expedition. A young maiden who had recently gone missing was found mutilated with strange carving, not so different from those dotting the native fauna, covering her entire body. The local troops have been put on high alert and some have even scoured the edge of the forest but nothing was found.</div>

Their heavy plate armor covered in the morning dew, they knew only one would leave alive. Years of conniving, betrayal, and greed had led to this point, all for this. Prince Jorah Blackfyre clutched the rough leather pommel of his Longsword tightly as he stepped forward into the fray. His opponent the son of Lord Bradfyre of the North, Brandon Bradfyre was a hot headed brute. There were no words both men had nothing to say. Brandon Bradfyre charged wildly as if an animal towards the Prince flailing his warhammer with rage. Prince Jorah sidestepped and swung striking him across the back denting his armor inwards and letting out the loud shriek of metal clashing. Brandon staggered away and turned once again turned the prince. Huffing he once again attempted to charge. The Prince once again sidestepped but the brute swung backwards towards the Prince. The Prince's sword now raised above him in a highguard was not able to respond. The Prince could only watch as the warhammer struck him across the chestplate caving it inwards. The Prince feel back violently gasping for air. He could not see the face of Brandon but he knew a smile sat across from it as he lurched towards the beaten Prince. Brandon now stood above him gripping his warhammer. He let out a slight nod then raised it for the killing blow. But before he could respond Prince Jorah lunged forward thrusting his blade deep through the gap in Brandon’s plate. The man let out a shallow cry as Jorah thrust his sword deeper pulling him so close as if the two men were embracing one another. Lying in the pool of his own blood Brandon suffocated as his lungs filled up with his own blood. The Prince did not celebrate his victory he merely lifted his visor, withdrew his sword and retired to warmer lodgings. </i></span><br>

<br>
Deep within the merrymaking of Harvest Festival a small stage has been erected. A grizzled and decrepit man stood upon the stage, he called out towards the audience "Have you heard the story of Lord Blackfyre and the Demon?"<br>
<br>
Many among the crowd shook their heads, while the rest stood baffled. "The Demon?" one called out.<br>
<br>
"Aye today you shall hear the story of Lord Blackfyre and the Demon. Long before their was a Kovir, long before man was the sole ruler of these lands dark things lived among us. Even then the Blackfyres still dwelt in the Crown Plains. Novgorod was naught but a small farming town constantly besieged by horrors. Fearing nothing could stop the attacks Lord Blackfyre sent out his only son into the Eastern Wood to make a pact." the man said looking over the crowd.<br>
<br>
"Alright this is over." A large scarred man hollered from the back as several guardsmen stormed the stage. "Move on everyone. This man is a known criminal."<br>
<br>
"I have committed no crimes." the man yelled out<br>
<br>
Without word the guards grabbed the man removing him from the stage. He has not been seen since.<br>

<span style="color: #000000">King Sebastian III decided to start the next council meeting next week which was after the last one few months ago.

<br>
<br>
The street of Ormshire was crowded today; everyone was looking at a man with a few soldiers. Gadirk Pheen, the royal ambassador of Oseoniel Empire, walked down the street to the harbor to greet Freidrick Fromm.  <i><b>"Welcome to Oseoniel, I send words from our King, Sebastian III. He would like me to escort you to the Eagle Keep in Eridun. We will discuss the matters over there." </b></i>Gadrik escorted the parties to a fancy horse carriage beside the street and ordered the coachman to go for Eridun.<br>

<span style="font-size: 14px">The merchants came back from Machdahl.

A few knock on the door can be heard coming from outside. <b><i>"Who is it?"</i></b> A girl softly speaks. <i><b>"It's me, your father." </b></i>King Sebastian III answered his daughter's question with his usual deep voice.

<br>
<br>
Seated on the Tree Throne, Artillus drummed his fingers along the obsidian black arm, blowing a stray lock of hair from his face. Spread out around the grand chamber, with high arching pillars, and a mural ceiling depicting the scene of the Yuril massacre and the crowning of Artillus. Since that day, Artillus had been forced to suffer through something far worse then battle wounds or torture, politics...<br>
<br>
<br>
"Lord Bal, we cannot simply let the fields go untended for much longer, or we face losing an entire season of crops!" A fat man, wearing long flowing robes of green and yellow, the colors of House Bal, basically shouted at another figure, a lean man wearing a similar robe of purple and white, the colors of House Trakus. Waving his hand dismissively, Lord Trakus grunted briefly at the others outburst. "Those fields are inside my territory, and your continuous planting of economic crops has ruined the soil. We will not allow you to harvest this seasons crop until we are properly repaid."<br>
<br>
<br>
This most recent political squabble between the two Houses had been going on for nearly two months before brought before the crown. Not able to find a solution themselves, the two Houses had quietly begun mustering their soldiers to march against each other, and at that point, each received a royal summons to the palace. A matter such as this did not warrant the spilling of blood, and Artillus had already come to a decision long before they had arrived.<br>
<br>
<br>
Rising to his feet, Artillus looked at the two Lords at the bottom of the dais, before clearing his throat to begin. "Lord Trakus, Lord Bal, the crown rules that the fields shall be harvested by House Bal this season. In recompense for the damage done to the soil, the crown will pay the allotted price to House Trakus. The fields will then be given to House Trakus, since they are within their territory." Standing next to the throne, a young servant raised a golden staff into the air, before hitting it on the ground three times, the echoing thuds resounding around the throne room.<br>
<br>
<br>
Both Lords, angry at the outcome, but also not entirely disappointed, bowed to Artillus, before turning and exiting the throne room. Once the grand doors had closed, Artillus let himself fall back into the Tree Throne, taking a cup of water from a servant nearby.

Expeditions</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Lady Marathal Merciry of Conquistay, rides of horseback, leading her soldiers north east. By now they've made it to Mithithier.<br>
<br>
<br>
The conquadins stand at the ready as the dwarf-ish men lead them deeper in the republic. (I forgot names, sorry! Will fix this later)<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>The threats of war</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Due to the threats of northern invasion, the councilors have declared village evacuation. The old, weak, sick and young are escorted to cities and the island colony whilst the strong are sent to military bases, willingly. All villages are cleared out of anything valuable. Soldiers train harder than before, recruitment stands remain throughout the cities of Terrian.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Research</b><br>
<br>
<br>
(infantry) Recruitment stands are set up throughout Terrian.<br>
<br>
<br>
(tactics) Rangers are sent to observe the northern soldiers and to report back in order for the military to research their strategies.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Eastward spreading</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Lanida Merici's attempt at spreading the empire to the eastern coast was successful, her battle-weary soldiers now return home.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Politics</b><br>
<br>
<br>
The Koviren ambassador was escorted safely to Terra, Marcus Franz hopes to negotiate with the ambassador.</div>

The expedition has been cancelled, and ships made to land settlers and troops in the upcoming landing.</b><br>

<b><br>
1,000 Scythian Soldiers have been deployed to take the cities, along with 2000 settlers (Males doubling as Armed Militia) </b><br>

<b>After encountering a few tribes, they were made to submit under the Scythian Flag or killed. Needless to say, the tribes versus the training and skill of the Scythian Army are no match, and the islands are colonized under the Scythian Flag.</b><br>
<br>
<br>
<b>The Scythian Army has begun modernizing and recruiting. With their militarized society in place, and society heavily devoted to the military, the Scythian Army balloons in no time, now they number 21,000. It is said that they could maintain an army of 75,000 if they really chose to push it. The strict ratio of the Scythian Army is still in place.</b><br>

<br>
<br>
<b>Government</b><br>
<br>
<br>
"Sir Alaric, there's been talk of a new-" "FARM?" Alaric interuppts the courier, smashing his fist down onto his iron throne, as talk of a worthy contender is almost unheard of to Alaric, and he plans to keep it that way. "Contender, sir." The courier straightens himself and faces the fuming battle master. "He is known as Asgor, the people's hero." "People's hero." Alaric mutters. "Well, if the people are so infatuated with him, then why? Why don't they like me?"<br>
<br>
<br>
"You see sir, he was one of the people, and his utter devout belief to Solus made him an outrider. He is a beacon of hope atop a equal mountain of a horse, Vorskii." Alaric rested his head on his hand, and dangled a vine of grapes over his helmeted dome, the grapes disappearing into the black abyss that was his face. "We will see to him during the games next season. And then the people will truly have someone to cheer for."<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Military</b><br>
<br>
<br>
In the defense of the nation for the next few months, the military of Colustinia has pulled back into the motherland to keep out intruders for the games next summer. A few 4,000 marauders have been raised as well. Each city has prepared 5 contenders, the strongest of each city for dueling next season.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Diplomacy</b><br>
<br>
<br>
To thank the kingdom of Two Elisas for their efforts in helping the king overcome his "terrible sickness" of a hangover, a sum of a cartload of jewels have been sent to them in thanks, and of alliance, because you can never have enough of that.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Research</b><br>
<br>
<br>
To bolster their armies, the Colustinians are developing a mobile barracks for easier troop transport, and comfort.<br>
<br>
<br>
Also, a new shield is being researched as well. The "Tower shield" to block all and any attacks. Quality depends on material and layering.</div>

     <span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'">Walking through his master room all King Gregor could do was think. “Our neighbors are strong. Too strong. They would crush us in a direct conflict. More men, that is what we need.” As he began pacing around his room, decorated with ornate decorations, including a prize from his latest hunt, a large boar head. Suddenly, there was a knock on his door and Ser Jerald Hedgwyk, Commander of the King's Royal Retinue, opens the door.</span></span><br>
<br>
<br>
   <br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
    “What is it Jerald?” Gregor asked, his mind clearly elsewhere.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
    “High Constable Maistre is here. He wishes to speak with you mi’lord.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
    Gregor motions for Ser Jerald to let him in. As the High Constable walks in, sweat covering him head-to-toe, he wears a green tunic and brown trousers, common clothing.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
“What is it I may help you with?” </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
“The army is well trained mi’lord, they are the strongest in Rodellia.”  High Constable Wyman states prouly.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
“Good, good. We have a larger problem at hand. Our army is far too small to combat any foreign force.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
“What would you have me do mi’lord?”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
“I do not know, how many men current garrison the city?”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
“Six-thousand mi’lord. More than enough to hold the city.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
“Train four-thousand more by the end of three hundred-sixty sun-cycles.”</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
High Constable Wyman nods and hurries out of the room.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
As High Constable Wyman walked out Gregor began to move toward the large lone window in his room. A spot he frequently found himself in when he needed to escape the duties of serving as King. Within the confines of his room Gregor felt safe, he felt as though he had a chance to relieve himself of the duties of a King, how stressful it was. It had started to take its toll. He had begun to grey though he was just past thirty. He had lost much of his muscular tone and had begun to thicken from the constant pleasantries that came with being a king. Sitting there though, he forgot all his worldly problems and began to drift off....</span></span><br>

    <span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'">“So, William Blackfyre wishes for us to attend his feast. Fine, write him back and tell him I shall attend,” says King Gregor.  Looking over the letter from King Blackfyre Gregor notices that he is allowed no more than fifty honor guard. “King Blackfyre wishes to make this a personal feast!” Says King Gregor with a lazy smile, “alright, we shall make this a personal feast,” King Gregor bellows. “Scribe, write to the Blackfyre king and tell him that Lord Godfrae, myself, and 100 of our most prestigious knights will be sailing into the Novigrad harbor.”</span></span><br>

<br>
   <span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'">“Mi’lord! Mi’lord!” A handmaiden thunders down the halls of the royal quarters and into King Gregor’s bedroom. </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
    “What is it maid,” asks King Gregor clearly annoyed by the interruption, “another rat running amok?” </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
With a joyous glee the handmaiden replies, “mi’lord, your Queen, Ruth. She is with child!” The handmaiden is barely able to restrain her happiness.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
King Gregor, taken aback by the revelation, quickly rises from his seat. “Where is she? I must see her at once!” Barely knowing the woman he calls his Queen, all King Gregor can feel is happiness that his wife has bared child so soon after their marriage.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
The handmaiden points down the hall to Queen Ruth’s cabinet room. King Gregor not even noticing the handmaiden, shoves her from his path and quickly sprints down the hall. </span></span><br>

<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 18px"><br>
"King Sebastian, the third of his name, I hereby offer you a proposition to further increase our relations. While it saddens myself that I cannot offer you a royal marriage, I can offer you an alliance between our great nations. Not only will we support each other in our own endeavors I also wish to strengthen trade further and will go as far as to build a royal bedroom inside Cardell to  accommodate your family and any guests you may choose to bring with you. I wish that this alliance will strengthen the bond between our two great nations and allows to crush any foe that will come to stand against us."</span></span><br>
