					<div class="bbWrapper">In the year 2034, a plague killed 99% of the world's population. With the old world gone, technology deteriorated, and by 2200 the tech level was medieval. From there, humanity has very slowly but surely begun to recover. Now, in 2834, the Old World has been almost forgotten, and the new world is that of feudalism, monarchs, and swords. Neo-Aztecs conduct human sacrifice in a strange, twisted religion made from both Catholic and Aztec beliefs. In the American South, Christians crusade once more. In the west, the Mormon kings and their many wives spread their influence. In the Great Plains, returns to native beliefs and other nature-worshiping religions has taken place. The last known bastion of technology, Directive 40, lays hidden in Alaska, the last remnant of the US government that observes the new feudal world, but they do not interfere, only observe. The great city of Novark trades along the Atlantic. The Old World is gone, and this is the beginning of a new one.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Cesár Tiberio sat on the balcony of his bedroom, basking in the summer sun of La Paz. Below him he saw the city in the afternoon light, people slow and happy under the lazy sun. To the north, the Great Church rose up above the surrounding houses, painted on all sides with scenes both beautiful and bizarre, people with masks twisting and dancing, many-headed beasts, warriors of ancient times, all together in a visual mess that somehow made sense. In the distance, boys and girls fished from the docks, waiting for their fathers to return with the real catch. Just another day in the city.<br>
<br>
One of his messengers arrived. She was new to the castle, pretty girl of 18. Father had probably sent her here in the hopes that Tiberio would fancy her as a concubine, though those hopes had yet to come true. "Cesár, Augusto has returned from Mexicali. He wishes to see you." Tiberio stood up. "Of course, bring him here." The girl bowed and went off to fetch Augusto. Tiberio hadn't expected his half-brother for another two days. This could be urgent.<br>
<br>
Augusto walked out onto the balcony, smiling and with his arms out wide. Tiberio smiled in turn and embraced him. "It's good to see you, half-brother! How was Mexicali?" Augusto released from the embrace and spoke in his deep, cheerful voice. "I must say, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Lord Ricardo's daughters were... accomadating, I think the marriage is a good idea. And the Mexicalians grow better weed than you, as well." Tiberio lightly punched Augusto and laughed before replying. "We were not expecting you for another two days. Why the rush? I hope it's nothing bad." Augusto continued smiling and shook his head. "No, it's nothing of the sort. Simply a good rider who likes to go fast. My horse is awfully tired, but it was a good journey." That was a relief. Tiberio spoke again. "Come, let us speak further in the shrine. I'll prove to you that we grow better weed."<br>
<br>
Several hours later, the two entered the Council's meeting room, to discuss matters of state. Having a short prayer asking for their crops to be strong and their visions to be true, the councilors explained what was happening in the realm. It was mostly boring stuff he already knew the gist of, opium crops growing well, bandits harassing Ensenada, so on, but Miguel Enseta brought up something new. "My Cesár, many of the lords believe it is time for you to take your second wife." Tiberio rolled his eyes. "I know this, Miguel. Every day I am sent paintings of beautiful daughters and sisters and their confessions of undying love. I need not to marry to consolidate my vassals, they are loyal already." "Of course, my lord, but I propose something different. You know of house Ansman of the Hualapai?" "Yes, another Indian house in another Indian kingdom." "Well, their lord, King Inyaga, has only a single daughter, Hala, age 22. She is said to be the greatest beauty in the land, and marrying the beautiful only daughter of an aging king certainly has its benefits. She may be their queen soon, and your children may be rulers of two kingdoms." Tiberio considered it. "It is tempting, but it could end in disaster. The Cartels and the tribes would never get along, and the difficulty in ruling over two kingdoms not connected by land would make those differences even worse." Miguel smiled at that. "Ah, but that's the best part. With the armies of the Hualapai aiding us, we could conquer from the Sonora to the Kaibab. The Cartels would be sated with new land, and the tribes certainly wouldn't object to some drug money." Tiberio thought for a while. "Very well. I will travel to the Grand Canyon, meet Hala and her father, but I do not promise anything will come of it. I depart in half a week, Augusto shall be regent until I return."<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Edward took a fresh breath of air in his palace. It was good morning, he had just eaten breakfast, had finished reading a book, and had preformed a sermon inside the palace. After all, he was head of a church. He chuckled himself and looked to bay, which the called the Columbian Bay. Ships were in the dock, loading for their trips out into the Pacific to catch fish for the markets. Speaking of which, the markets were bustling as usual. It was almost chaos, and he sometimes wondered how his uncle could mange Columbia who's market was even busier<br>
<br>
He soon heard a knock on his door and a boy of 16 opened it and told him "Sire, news just arrived from your colonists to the east,". Edwarded furrowed his brow and asked "How are they faring?". The boy then responded "They currently have settled in both Ellensburg and New Salem, Your Grace,". Edward smiled and said "Good, now take this,". He then gave the boy a rolled-up piece of paper and said "Give this to a rider and he is to be escorted to Columbia and this is to be given to the King of Columbia,". The boy nodded and quickly scurried off as Edward turned around to continue to look out the window, thinking of what he had done. Ellensburg and Hood River were cities in the former western parts of Washington and Oregon and their goal was simple: Keep the Corville and the Yamaka Indians out of the Kingdom. Each of these cities sat on a former interstate, with Ellensburg being on Interstate 90 which led straight into Seattle and Interstate 84, which lead directly into Portland. The rest of the roads were so overgrown that no horse could possibly get through it. Edward thanked God that the Great Forest, which stretched from the former US-Canadian border to the former states of California, was there, as they would've been overrun by indians long ago if it wasn't there. The note Edward had given the boy was a letter to the King of Columbia and asked to try to open up formal diplomacy between the nations. The Cascadian Kingdom had known about them and the Kingdom of Baja for some time because of their meetings at sea, and he wanted to try to keep peace with them</div>

(The actual building but without all the people using it and such, for mind picturing usage. Thank you.)<br>
Couzens stood looking over the platforms that had become market stalls. Far below the lords that worshipped the defeating of the Rust gathered. Debutantes danced with young nobles, Lords and Ladies danced together and servants darted about the floor providing their needs. Just further, as mentioned earlier the market stalls were filled with activity. The greatest and grandest market in The Rust Belt continued on, undeterred. Shouts and yells, barely audible to the man above, rung through the old platforms as patrons walked through searching for trinkets and artefacts. Renowned Hunters sat with their catches, hoping for a passing man of wealth to select it for his next feast. However there were no children playing today. What children there were to be seen would be men and women by the time they arrived, all others were inside, under the vigil of the Oxides. The Sacred High Priests that serve Grand Fabricator. Today was the third day of the Rusting of Youth and so far none had returned to show their prize. As Chrome Guardians stood, standing between the lords and those lower born, a young woman approached. She was riding a tired old grey horse but on her back, wrapped in old rags, was something large. What little could be seen of it was rusted. She must certainly be the first to return with her offering for the Grand Fabricator. Couzens was more then curious. The first to return was often one of the larger lads, often about to pass beyond the age of Youth, striding among a large steed with a triumphant grin. This girl, no, this young woman, sat on her old nag looking defeated. She looked as tired as the horse she rode. The Chrome Guardians, best of the Brotherhood of Chrome and chosen to defend the Grand Fabricator, wordlessly moved to let her pass. The sound in the courtyard below was replaced with silence and even the busy market appeared to have a hush fall over it. She knelt down in the centre. Eyes fixed to the ground in front of her. <br>
<br>
The lords stood curious and some annoyed, as the Grand Fabricator stood on his elevator and servants below began to move him slowly down to the ground below, an older lady, the Duchess of Ann Arbour, approached the woman and tried to uncover the hidden artifact. The woman stood and turned her body to face the woman, placing the artefact on the opposite side to her but kept her eyes fixed down. She knew the rules. She could not look them in the eyes once she started the trial until she either passed or failed. But she also knew this woman, whoever she was, was disrespecting her offering to the Grand Fabricator. The older lady shouted for the guards to cease 'this insolent girl' but none moved or even acknowledged it. The Grand Fabricator said that no one was to interfere and they served only him. The lords and ladies that also served their master were merely poorly trained equals with no purpose, that's how they saw it. With a snort of derision the woman strutted away just as the Grand Fabricator opened the great rear doors of his palace. The woman took the item from her back and held it before her like a knight would offer his sword. Couzens noted that the object was large and flat. He wondered what possible item of note would be shaped as it was. He contemplated hailing that she had failed, without even looking at the object in detail, this only happened when items like crowbars or spanners were given as tribute, but he decided against it. Eventually checking the item. Uncovering the cloth he saw a rusted, but largely in good wear Riot Shield. Some of the tomes on law enforcement mentioned such devices but he had yet to see one is such condition, all others could only be assumed that they were by size and shape. He took it from her. The symbol that she had passed. She rose to her feet and looked toward him, too fearful yet to look into his eyes. He strode forth, to the end of the courtyard out to where the common people could hear and bellowed. "This Woman is the first of this years chosen to pass the trial. She will join the Brotherhood of Chrome! However, she will also serve as my side as a Chrome Guardian. I also order that among her weapons she use her very own offering. A riot shield she found for me. I hope that with its strength and durability she will stop all who dare stand against the Children of the Rust. This is a sign that the times of old see us as their champions. No shield we can forge can match the ability of such a device. With it she shall deflect all harm that tries to afflict me. Welcome. Sister. You name is Gina. Gina Rinehart. May you serve us well." He so named her, after an Australian woman from before the war that he recently discovered who was worth billions and ran a mining company, as it was tradition to name all Chrome Guardians after powerful figures of the past. Their last name would then become their dynasty and their children would lie somewhere between the common people and the nobility. <br>
<br>
Couzens assumed that was all he would be rewarded with for the day.</div>

Branches broke beneath boot-clad feet as a platoon of men in MARPAT fatigues and beige colored body armor made their way across the now vastly overgrown and nature-rich forests of what had been and what these particular men still knew as the state of Washington. In their comfortably gloved hands were long black stick-looking devices, expertly crafted and identical to all the others and held on the side of their thighs a smaller variant of the long black stick. This was the first expedition by the entity known as Directive 40 to the continental United States, after recieving no radio communications at all from the lower forty eight it had been decided that multiple small groups of marines would be deployed to search for any signs of remaining civilization. As the preparations for the majority of the government agency's many vehicles, ships and aircraft were still being made. The platoons had turned to using one of the only helicopters that had as of now been brought out of storage to enter what had been American airspace, before being deployed groundside and sent off in the directions of what they knew as major settlements such as Seattle and the surrounding suburbs. As of now they had yet to find a single human soul, though local wildlife had been both plentiful and peaceful with little sign of any outside interfierence in their habitats. Strange for what had once been a developed coastline. The men that formed the group themselves all seemed to be rather young though lively and eager to do their jobs, whatever those jobs may be to an outsider, however right now they didn't seem all that pleased with their assignment.<br>
<br>
"We've been walking for hours, what exactly are we looking for again?" One of the men spoke up in curiosity as the group moved, occasionally taking larger steps to avoid any natural holes in the ground or large pieces of log. Eyes scanning their surroundings as they had been trained to, vigilantly and hands tightly gripping their rifles though despite their professional demeanor they did seem bored. "Maybe if you'd paid attention to the multiple briefings, McLeod you would know what we're looking for." A slightly older man at the front of the single file line gruffly replied with, seemingly not impressed with his younger subordinate's failure to listen. The younger man known as McLeod a few marines down the line shrugged, craining his neck backwards slightly to get a better talk with the man behind him as the group continued moving forward through the dense fauna. "What're we looking for, Masters?" He asked in a lower tone, apparently not wanting to face another growl of disappointment from his superior. "We're looking for people, McLeod. People and buildings. Shouldn't be too hard to spot if either of those things are around." McLeod yet again shrugged, though acknowledging the information his peer had given him. "Alright, sounds easy enough. If there were any people that is." - "Dude, just shut up. We'll find someone eventually." The taller man in-front of McLeod known as Sandler said in an impatient tone, the slightly smaller McLeod having been about to respond in a similarly antagonizing manner before their superior raised his hand in a stopping motion, the entire line of men dropping onto one knee as they all raised their rifles forward.<br>
<br>
"I see someone. Over there, by the oak trees on that hill. Just over a hundred meters away." He practically whispered to his marines, looking back to them as he spoke quietly again. "Morgan, Keating, get those M27's on our flank." He ordered with a low tone but sternly enough as the two marines nodded and lifted up their larger, more powerful appearing weapons. Jogging lowly, keeping close to the scenery around them as they moved to the right hand side of the squad itself, mixing themselves in with the surrounding nature and setting up their machine guns on a small set of rocks, sturdy enough to withstand any recoil that might come about as a result of whatever this encounter may become. "Everyone else, spread out. Pierce, you're with me." And with that, the other camouflage-clad marines begun to move away from one another, weapons still raised and behavior still vigilant as they kept their eyes open for anything and everything. A young woman coming to the front of the squad and crouching down next to the Sargeant as the pair then began to move forward by their lonesome, keeping slow and steady. Noticing as they got closer and closer to the figures by the hill that they were dressed..far different from how the marines had expected them to be dressed, they wore what looked like medieval suits of armor and were standing next to horses and bantering in strong accents with one another. Swords dangling from their belts as they spoke about crop yields and maidens and a whole bunch of other old-timey speak. Pierce lowering her rifle momentarily and reaching into a bag on her belt, pulling out a small green camera and lifting it up towards the two armored men, taking a silent picture of them before they decided to pull out of the immediate area and try find any nearby settlements, there had to be some around surely. And perhaps those settlements would better explain what the hell kind of world the Directive had woken up in.​</div></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Vivian distrusted the Mormon Kings. They believed and preached lies to the masses, saying of themselves as holy men pure in body and soul while engaging in the heresy known as polygamy. Their subjects accepted no trade, for they strived to attain self-sufficiency in all things and adamantly refused what was foreign and which they could not yet produce themselves on the slightest suspicion that Columbian caravans only peddled temptations and that their rare arrivals to their kingdoms were merely a testing of the strength of their beliefs. Worst still, their missionaries were unceasing in their efforts to convert the surfs of his land to their pagan Mormonism, pests that would have been manageable to exterminate were it not expected of every able-bodied man of their society to 'save' as many lives as they could from eternal damnation before they at last received their own.<br>
<br>
He praised once more the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, his hands pressed together in silent prayer, before standing and snuffing out the candles of the shrine and exiting his bedchambers. Word has reached his ears that a messenger from the North had arrived in Columbia. Heathens as they were, he was inclined to offer every bit of hospitiality he could afford them. Those not under the yoke of the Mormon Kings were in short supply on the West Coast and could serve as useful allies for the gathering storm to come. As he reached the throne room Vivian was swarmed by a stampede of advisors and nobles, each eager to land a clever word in his presence. Warding them off his body, he sat on the throne of his authority and willed his knights to summon the messenger and his escort through the gilded throne room doors.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Tiberio pulled himself up on to his horse, a white mare called Dulce. He managed to get himself fully ready and seated, then turned to Augusto below him. "You will be ruler for no short period of time, Augusto. It could be anywhere from a 1 1/2 to a 4 month trip, and while winter is never too harsh to us it may not be the case that far north. They say it is still mostly fine, but still I do not expect to be back for perhaps 5 months, assuming at least something goes wrong or I must wait out winter at their Kingdom. Rule well, half-brother." Augusto shook his hand and replied. "Are you sure you must go in person? Your messengers could go faster and you would be able to rule your realm." "No, this way I can make contact with our vassals on the way and see some of the world. Besides, I'd prefer to meet the princess in person if I am to marry her." Augusto sighed and spoke. "Very well. Good travels, Cesár, I hope you may travel faster than you estimate." Tiberio smiled in return. "You will rule well. Hold the kingdom together while I am gone."<br>
<br>
3 days later, they had made unexpectedly good progress. A hundred and ten miles, in the city of Cuidad Constitución. The local Cartel, House Constitución, was one of the most loyal to the Allendes. Their leader, Lady Ancana, was an old woman, 84 years old, and one of the greatest warriors the kingdom had ever known back in her prime. He sat down with her and her family for a dinner, roasted chicken and corn. She had always been like a grandmother to Tiberio, and she spoke up as they were at the table. "Tiberio, foolish child, why do you travel right as winter approaches?" Tiberio laughed softly. "Abuela, you should not call your Cesár a foolish child." "Bah, you could be Emperor of Mexico and you would still be a foolish child. And answer the question." "If I move quickly enough, I may well be back just as winter is beginning. Besides, even if I do not return until the end of winter, I return with a new wife and a new ally, and we could use the summer to begin conquests along the Colorado." "You will stay away from the ghost city?" "Ghost city? You mean Firebird? Abuela, the dead spires of Firebird are far from our route. Do not worry about such superstitions. We follow the Colorado for most of the route, then take a shortcut to reach Hualapai. On the way back we follow the Colorado all the way to Baja, and we will see the great Hoover Falls." The old woman sniffed. "Why must you marry a redskin anyways? Is a good Baja lady not enough for you?" "Abuela, you know why."<br>
<br>
The following morning Tiberio said goodbye to the old woman and her extensive family. "I will see you in several months on my way back, hopefully with my new wife." Lady Ancana grumbled a goodbye, though it was still clearly affectionate, and the rest of the family waved goodbye as Tiberio and his party rode northwards. Summer would very soon end, and the riders would soon gallop through Autumn.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Kingdom of the Four Cities</b><br>
Murfreesboro, South of Nashville<br>
<br>
The figure of a horse and its rider could be seen galloping around a course, filled with fences, obstacles, and flags of all kinds. The figure brought her massive stead through the corners and leapt it high up into the air. The horse is apparently a descendant breed from what was called "Tennessee Walking Horse," as the figure's tutors had explained, but she had no care for that. To her a horse is a horse, a being that needs to run free. Of course at the moment, this being is being brought through a horse track, weaving between fences and trees alike and jumping hills and poles. The joyful cry of the figure could be heard throughout. The few in the vicinity had stopped their work to bask in the warmth of her expression. Even slaves had stopped attending to their masters' horses to watch the girl. <br>
<br>
Soon another woman in maid clothes walked to the side of the track and waved the figure over. Bringing the stead to a trot, then a walk, the girl approached the maid. "Your Highness-" "What did I say about calling me that?" The maid paused at the interruption and let out a sigh. "Miss Chevalia." The figure nodded in approval. "Must you always escape my sights? I'm not as well versed in the local area as you are." "It's only the horse track!" "It's the 12th one you've been to this week! I honestly don't know how you keep finding new ones~" Chevalia puffed her cheeks. "Well in any case, I bring news from Ministers. It seems that they've finally agreed to the expedition into the west and down the Mississippi." <br>
<br>
Chevalia's smile rose in delight. "Then let us go back to the Castle and make ready!" She brought her stead around and out of the track before racing it north towards Nashville. The maid looked in exhaustion and chased after her. "At least get in the carriage! Your Highness!" The expedition had been something that Chevalia had been campaigning for the better part of a year. The plan was to send three main groups, one up the Mississippi, one to the west, and the smallest down the river. They already had knowledge that there's something of a small community down in what was Louisiana, but sending a envoy should be respectful nonetheless. It was a joint task by the four cities, with knights, merchants, and a few nobles joining in.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b>The Rise of Alister von Baton VII <br>
</b>​</div><b>"</b>My people! I come to you as your emperor, for to long we have crept slowly from our homes. For to long we have allowed what should be ours to be within our sight and go to waste!" This was the start of the speech that would propel  the Baton into a very ambitious plan. To claim the Mississippi River all of it ajd the state it ends with. "We are given great life from the rivers that go to the north above us. It is time we truly lay claim to it and all the goods it shall bring us! Food, wealth, and glory shall be ours for the taking...but we have much work to do, though we control the north of our great lands the south is still untamed with rumours of a great city on the water which will give us control over the very mouth of this great river." He paused a moment and looked to the head knight of the order of St.Julianas who nodded back and him, "Sir.Gregor of the knightly order shall lead a small expedition north of 500 men to begin setting up outposts along the river to lay claim to it with our great banners. The rest of you knight and peasants alike, the setting outhouse is your destination, tame the southern lands and I will ensure that every man woman and child who had a hand in it shall have a home to sleep in. A warm bed to lay there head on, and enough food to never want for again!" The loudest of the cheers at this proclimation came from those of lesser birth. Those who saw this as a true opportunity to move up in their social standing in life, by the dawn two expeditions would set out, one sent south to the surrounding lands to attempt to claim what they could a major expedition breaking off of about 25,000 headed to the town of baton Rouge accompanied by 300 knights the holy order stretching out to help what groups they could as the pascification of the south would take a long and brutal process, already there was word of turning baton into a military fort for a new branch of the Holy order or perhaps even having the church come and make it and great holy city as it did bear the name of their great Emperor. Several others moved easterly heading did own to try and settle other towns some lucky to get 50-100 knights the larger groups attracting more knights for the glory. <br>
<br>
The northern expedition set out with 500 knights and around 5000 workers to head north, where they would establish 5 outposts with 1000 workers anf 100 knights per outpost, these would go along the river along later be turned into look out posts for anything that would come down the river as fishing spots. The Emperor for now would remain in the Delta plantation with his wife who had recently sired a child wither or nothe it would be a boy or girl was yet to be seen. Alistair would remain eager for any reports in the south, unknown people would be lost but in time the towns would flurish was the hope. What they truly did not expect was for Sir Gregor to come along a mission headed south from the Mississippi, it was during their 5th and final time of planting and outposts when they had come had been come upon by the northerners. <br>
<br>
Sir.Gregor, "Halt who goes there northerners! You approach land of the Baton! Are you friend or foe?" Or he asked keeping one hand on his sword word as the 100 men left with him and the 1000 peasants grabbed weapons making ready to defend themselves. The people of Baton where all to familiar with raiders.</div>

	</div><br>​</div>The cool autumn air breathed down Arn Bràvehearts neck like a banshee in the night. He was standing port side of his adviser, Carl Klárckson. They where both dressed in the snow white furs of bears, a rare gift from the native tribes in the north.<br>
<br>
"Nýrland is flourishing under your rule, my lord." Carl said, gazing out into the city streets of Nýrborg. Arn was kneeling next to Carl, showing a child how to build castle in the sand of the sea bank.<br>
"Yes, but what of the rest of the world?" Arn replied, standing straight and motioning towards the docks.<br>
"I'm sorry?" Carl followed his ruler, concerned with what was on his ill thinking mind.<br>
"I fear that we are falling behind compared to our neighbors. Not only are we the smallest nation, but we have little to give the world."<br>
"Arn, listen-"<br>
"No, Carl, you listen. I made a promise to my people! I promised them that going to the west would give them unimaginable wealth and prosperity."<br>
"And it will, all we have to do is wait."<br>
"Wait for what? Winter is at our doorstep and we have only three months of rations left over for the coming seasons!" Arn lifted two fingers and shoved them in front of Carl's face. Arn then turned his back to the city and looked at the waters of the Atlantic before him."Unless I can find a way to coerce a nobleman into providing me with additional supplies, I fear that starvation might lead to a rebellion."<br>
"What is your plan?" Carl immediately regretted what he had just said, knowing fully well that Arn was not in his right mind at the moment. Arn paused before speaking.<br>
"What do you think of the merchant republic of Canucia and their ruler Peter Alaire?"<br>
"W-well, it a very nice pla-"<br>
"He's a businessman. They are all businessmen there. Why not pay these dicey Canucian's a visit?" He was interrupted before Carl could respond.<br>
"Let's go! Pick up the pace, fellas!" said the voice of a large man with long locks of hair by the name of Strómir. Strómir Eldurson, a noble engineer, was charged with building a grand vessel in the name of Nýrland. A ship of massive proportions that could travel the coast and bring a hundred men with it. Arn walked up to the site and looked at the ship, only half complete, with awe.<br>
"Ah, Strómir, I see construction is well underway."<br>
"It's not done yet, but I can tell it's going to be a masterpiece."<br>
"I'm sure it will be, you bastard genius!" Arn gave his engineer a soft jab to the shoulder before rejoining Carl to finish his thought. "As I was saying, I want two small vessels, carrying a dozen men each to set sail for the Isle of Montreal. Each should carry a sufficient amount of weapons and an intimidating treasury if we're to gain the Canucians respect."<br>
"Yes, of course, my lord. I will make arrangements with Darius immediately." Carl left Arn hurriedly.<br>
"You better, I'll have your head if you don't!"<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Petre sat above the Seigneurie, a council of about 10 other men, he was the Bannière, he controlled the dealings of the Seigneurie, which was made up of the wealthiest and most prominent businessmen in the Republic. He sat on a marble chair, it's arm rests were fasces, and it's back bear the flag of Canucia, above each man was his family's coat of arms, above Petre was the most simple crest, a four-de-lis with a handful of green dots below it. He looked unto the other men, not as a governor or as a general but as a father, he sat there with a authority but caring as well. His gaze was steel but warm and as he spoke it was smooth, rich, and deep, "At, this moment I have sent messengers to those in the south whom call themselves the Rust Belt, and those to our north whom call themselves Nyrland. I believe that we must form a lasting bond with these two peoples, though my suspicions come with the godlessness of those to our south and the sheer alien nature of the northerners but one at a time my friends. Neither of these states should be ruled out as allies and possible future territory to our great republic. First and more importantly are these Rust Beltians, they are godless heathens I know, but they can give us what we desire. Our spies tell us that these men worship the discovery of knowledge, a boon to the state if we were to ally and set up solid trade lines would be to gain these newfound knowledge, that we may be stronger than we are, and if these godless heathens or any others do attack us we won't be at such a disadvantage. The Rust Belt, even more important to you men that sit before me, lay on a major river I am told stretches for miles without end, the possibility of trade on such a river would give the republic such wealth that we'll be bursting at the seams. It is also to my knowledge that he has seven children, I for one am willing to set up a marriage to make sure our bond to these pagans is solid and lasts a long time, I would ask that some others would do the same for the prosperity of our great Republic. Now unto these aliens to the North, they fly under the raven banner, they seem a simple god fearing folk, but I worry at how warlike they seem and could threaten the sovereignty of our great republic, but again we have an easy ally, they lie upon the shore of a great body of water, a good trade ally, and maybe with their warlike nature a good mercantile force to aid us if we should need them. Our spies have also informed me that their leader remains unwed and without children, and I am willing, and have consulted my sister upon this manor, she had wished a nun-hood, but says that if this would help us, the nation of our Lord, it would be a greater way to serve, and I since they are good Christian people am more willing to give them an alliance and a betrothal, but I say first that we find the measure of these leaders and we shall put it to a vote after we have heard these men speak before us, as long as they have been baptized of course. No unto the more urgent matters of the Seigneurie, Monsieur Finex has proposed a new one off tax in order to start construction on a new chapel in the city of Montreal, as always I ask that you please cast the stones to vote."<br>

Royal Palace, Nashville<br>
<br>
Chevalia road into the city, still wearing her horse riding outfit. Trailing behind her is her maid in the white and blue carriage. Riding through the streets, people waved at the princess, some calling out her name. While the slaves bowed their heads, close friends of the royal family gave short greetings to her as she passed through. They passed through the crowd and eventually came to the palace, a massive building of grand display sitting atop a large spread of green grass surrounded by the bustling city with only a fence and guards between. The Palace sits on where a building known as the Parthenon had been. Across the street are buildings where many parties are held. Apparently it use to be the Vanderbilt University, but it has turned from a place of study 800 years ago into a place of luxury. As Chevalia rounded to corner towards the gate entrance, the guards saluted and let her inside.<br>
<br>
After personally bringing her horse to the stalls, much to the protest of the stable boy, Chevalia ran into the palace and through the hallways. The maid finally caught up and forced her to change her outfit into an elegant flowing dress of white with blue and red accents. Tying her hair up and wrapping a beautiful gold necklace around her neck, the maid was finally satisfied. Chevalia quickly fled the dressing room and first ran to her parents to tell them the news (or rather her own excitement) before going to the Royal Throne Room. At the sound of trumpets and the guards declaring her presence, the ministers and nobles inside stood up and bowed their heads. Chevalia stepped into the room and took to her throne, a seat to the right of two larger and more lavish thrones. The two were empty, to respect the king and queen, but everyone knew that Chevalia was effectively the new queen. Having been seated, the rest of the nobles sat down. Light shone through a stained glass in the ceiling, covering Chevalia's dress in a myriad of colors.<br>
<br>
Soon the proceedings began. Chevalia was excited and took each duty with vigor at first, but slowly started to get indifferent and bored as she realized the king's advisor and her tutor arranged the hearings so that her expedition would be the last. She was forced to actually go through her duties as crown princess! When it finally reached the topic of her expedition, her face lightened once more and adjusted herself to a more presentable position. The minister in charge, and her trusted ally in navigating the politics of the kingdom, High Minister Pirot, walked forward and gave the customary greetings before diving into the matters she most wanted to hear. "<span style="color: #0059b3">The knights of the Knoxville will be offering a total of 1,000 of their own in our expedition. They will be joined by about 2,000 normal infantry from the Tennessee Valley and the Cumberland Plateau. Additionally, the Nobles of Nashville have dedicated parts of their Noble Armies to the cause, including their own children in the hopes of great achievement. They have an estimated total of 750, almost all of which are elites, all trained as both cavalrymen and knights. Memphis has declined to send any men of their own, much to the dismay of many.</span>" "<span style="color: #b30059">That is quite fine. They are the host of our troops anyway. It would be rude to ask for more.</span>" "<span style="color: #0059b3">Thank you for your forgiveness on that matter, I'm sure the citizens of Memphis will be quite relieved to here that. Since it is a large force, many merchants and nobles from across the kingdom have elected to join and sponsor the expedition. Those in Nashville wish to be part of the group headed north, while those from Chattanooga and Memphis wish to part of the Southern Force. There were a few that wanted to join those headed west, but by your request, only a few have been allowed.</span>" "<span style="color: #b30059">Hmmmm, have the Knights of Knoxville split themselves into three along with the infantry. We'll let them have some of our prized steads accompany them on their journey. The Noble Armies will accompany the group headed north. But do make sure at least 100 of them join the group headed south. Do tell me, where are they right now?</span>" "<span style="color: #0059b3">Yes! The Noble Armies have already departed for Memphis. I believe the Knights of Knoxville are on the Tennessee River right now, approaching Memphis as well. The two will should reach Memphis by the break of dawn tomorrow. The combined infantry is still lagging behind but will reach Memphis within a few days.</span>" "<span style="color: #b30059">Good, then I shall depart for Memphis!</span>" <br>
<br>
As she stood up, the entire room cheered on the princess. Making her way out, she ordered her poor maid to begin preparations to leave within an hour.</div>

<br>
It wasn't much more than twenty minutes since they'd seen the two men in suits of armor and their equally armored horses. And already the marines in the squad were busy quietly debating on what--or more specifically who they had just saw, it wasn't everyday that one witnessed what looked like medieval knights just hanging around the forest, having a conversation in what sounded like an older and more formal version of English. They'd wasted little time in radioing in their findings to the AMC and hadn't had to wait for very long in order to get their next set of orders. Continue onwards with the route they had originally planned but go around the men they'd found. With the idea being that sooner or later the marines would find some form of settlement and would therefore be able to learn more about what was left of civilization after the Plague had struck, clearly there still were people around and clearly they were still intelligent enough to forge suits of armor and use horses as modes of transportation but apart from that the men and their superiors knew nothing else about the world they had woken up in. And that was something that just wouldn't fly with the senior leadership back at the mountain complex. Though despite all of the confusion and long marches, the marines were grateful to finally be out of that bunker and in the real world, many were eager to see what Earth looked like eight whole centuries in the future as many had never believed they would ever be called up for duty in the Directive in the first place. But here they now were.<br>
<br>
Making their way up a large hill formation among the many towering trees of the pacific northwest, the marines had returned to their more casual state of mind after putting some distance between themselves and the strangers they had encountered. Although many of them were curious and somewhat concerned of what the state of civilization now was, they were glad to just be walking again and if guys with swords and horses were the only things they had to worry about then they were sure that they'd be completely fine even if they were to let their guard down. Stepping across a tiny river that flowed between the equally small rocks laying in and around it, the squad continued their march onward. With one of the marines at the front of the line, Corporal Louis Pierce of Long Beach, Washington taking on the role of radioman at least until this operation of sorts was over. Gripping onto her M16A5 tightly, she rustled her shoulders to fix the uncomfortably fallen backpack that she was wearing into the right, more comfortable place. Knowing that the rest of her squadmates wouldn't much appreciate her holding up the line just to fix her pack, she had instead chosen to fix it on the move and with as little effort as possible and had succeeded despite this, as was the marine way a lot of the time. The Sargeant in-front of her stopping all of a sudden, causing her and the rest of the marines behind her to stop almost in-sync. She had been about to ask what her superior had stopped for before she heard it herself.<br>
<br>
It was an all too familar sound, though an incredibly soothing and comforting one in this situation. It was the sound of a distant fighter jet's engines, and given the fact that they were in Washington and if the knight looking mofos were anything to go by, the surrounding tech level was far too primitive to come up with jets. It was one of their's, this group conclusion being confirmed as Corporal Pierce's radio buzzed into life, the young short-haired woman holding it closer to her ear to hear it as she was informed that the aircraft carrier USS William F. Halsey had been taken out of it's storage and was now operational. <i>That was quick</i>. The Corporal thought at first though quickly reminded herself that the first personnel out of cryo must have already been working on bringing a bunch of equipment out of storage to be ready for when the majority of personnel were woken up. So now with the Halsey in service it wouldn't be long before the other ships were brought out also, and with the Halsey up and kicking it could only be assumed that the jet up there was an F-18, unless of course those Air Force types had managed to bring out their F-15's first, though Pierce personally doubted it given the fact that one of the two leading members of the Directive was a Navy Admiral. The Sargeant barking at his troops to continue moving, it hadn't taken the squad all that long to reach the top of the hill as the fighter jet of unknown model above them flew past--presumably with the same job as them, to find civilization. The marines were granted a few minutes to cool down and have some nourishment and banter, which they all happily complied with, making a very temporary camp on the hill they sat down on their backpacks and started drinking, eating and conversing about their day.<br>
<br>
That had been until they'd seen a figure approach from the bushes.​</div></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Kingdom of the Four Cities</b><br>
Royal Riverside Villa, Memphis<br>
<br>
It was late at night, or really when the skies were darkest before dawn, when Princess Chevalia finally arrived in Memphis. She was very much eager to reach Memphis and pushed her escorts to go faster. By the time they arrived at the villa, every being, man and horse alike, was exhausted. The Princess on the other hand was still vigorous, having been forced to sit in the carriage instead of riding her stead. The maid sighed. The city was asleep, and out in the fields were tents and flags of the multitude of men joining the expedition. More are expected to arrive tonight, but it seems that the main part of the force had arrived. Chevalia walked up the steps of the Villa and was greeted by several maids and a butler, the staff maintaining the place. As she walked further in, she looked into the parlor to see a man dressed in a simple suit and a clean ten-gallon hat. Entering the parlor, she looked at the man, trying to place his name. The man himself stood up and placed his hat against his chest while bowing. "<span style="color: #b30059">Thank you for receiving me here in my Villa. You didn't have to come here this late in the night, Mr...</span>" "<span style="color: #0059b3">Harland, Elius V Harland. I am the new Master of Graceland, your highness.</span>" Chevalia's face changed from this revelation. "<span style="color: #b30059">I see. I heard that your predecessor Duke Ricrad had retired and took up residence in Jackson.</span>" "<span style="color: #0059b3">Indeed, the former master, who owned a considerable amount of land, gave both the title and wealth of his name to me, stating that I am the most well received man in Memphis after the Royal Family.</span>" "<span style="color: #b30059">If that is so, then I must thank you in your hospitality and ask for your forgiveness on not bringing any gifts to you, our dear host.</span>" "<span style="color: #0059b3">Not at all, being able to meet you while enjoying the sunrise is more than enough for me.</span>" "<span style="color: #b30059">Sunrise?</span>" At that question, the two turned their eyes out the window and to the east, where black indeed began to give way to purple, red, and orange. "<span style="color: #b30059">Ah... I see, then let us depart and meet once the sun has awoken the rooster.</span>" Chevalia gave a flushed chuckle at the lack of not noticing the time. Chevalia and Harland left the parlor and went to their respective housings.<br>
<br>
At the same time, scouts stood on the bridge to the west, connecting the Kingdom of the Four Cities to the frontier. There had originally been two bridges, but the other one had long collapsed ages ago. The bridge they currently stood on had been held together through pure luck. The scouts watched simple boats float up and down the Mississippi. They had orders to prepare the opening paths the lead out of the kingdom, so they were beginning their work. To the north, south, and west, were scouts walking up and down the river. They were technically still in the land of the Four cities, but they still had some work to do, figuring out which paths to take on the banks of this river. They won't actually begin to leave the realm until the soldiers lined up for the parade out of Memphis.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">After another few weeks' travel, Tiberio's party had made it to Mexicali, gateway to the rest of America. Merchants from as far away as the Merchant Cities of Idaho came here to purchase the drugs of the Kingdom, and Mexicali was very prosperous because of it. It was a walled city, to protect it from the desert raiders of Firebird and the rest of the southern Arid Zone. Ruled by house Aconda of the Mexicali Cartel, the city had been one of the last to bow to House Allende's Kingdom of Baja, and they were still full of pride and independence.<br>
<br>
Tiberio had spent the last two days here, interacting with the populace and getting all of the supplies needed to get through the Arid Zone all the way up to the Kaibab. Their advance messenger should have reached the Hualapai by now, and they would be preparing for Tiberio's arrival. They were traveling faster than expected, and if there were no major delays they would be there in less than a month.<br>

A uneasy silence fell over the throne room as he read the contents of the message. Abruptly handing the message to one of his knights, the boy king smiled and offered a soft-spoken reply to the messenger. "An envoy will be dispatched to Seattle with due haste. If you desire," he intoned in perfect staccato, "lodgings can be arranged for you and your escort for the night, along with whatever supplies and men you want to ensure this good news leaves the golden borders of the Kingdom of Columbia."</div>

"Captain Jennsen! Are we close?" Arn asked Darius Jennson, the captain of the Nyrlandian navy. The two were on one of three small cargo ships travelling down the Saint Laurent gulf, towards the city of Montreal. Arn decided to come visit the great Republic of Canucia himself, along with three dozen of his finest soldiers. He hoped that the stockpile of gold and silver on the ships would help persuade the Canucians into a trade agreement.<br>
"Almost! I can see the Isle up ahead." Darius replied, still peering through his looking glass.<br>
<br>
The trade flotilla pulled into the harbor a short while later. Arn hadn't felt dry land under his feet for weeks and, just as he and Darius stepped off their vessel, the Canucians formed a small crowd around the docks to see what the strange visitors were up to.<br>
<br>
"Good day, citizens of Montreal! I am Arn Braveheart and I come to you from a land far from here. I come from Nyrland, where the forests grow tall and the cattle roam free." Arn waved his right hand and two soldiers brought a wooden chest before him, opening it to reveal the glimmering treasures inside. The Cunucians gathered around him started to murmur and trade whispers. "We have traveled here to share our bounty with you, in hopes that we can take some supplies home to our people."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">It seemed to Vivian as he feared; the Cascadians were indeed the uncivilized round-eyed barbarians he had heard of through the coded messages of his spies. He had filed away in the moment the numerous breaches of court conduct the savage perpetrated as the mocking of his authority, yet realized in the tense seconds to follow that it was the custom of the Protestant kingdom for the lowly to meet the gaze of royalty and to treat their betters in polite deference as equals in all things. <i>No matter</i>, he decided after much deliberation. <i>A Protestant can be tolerated, a Mormon on the other hand... Could not.</i><br>
<br>
Vivian soon returned to the discussion of matters of state after making arrangements for the upcoming journey to the seat of the Kingdom of Cascadia, the port city of Seattle. Thousands of gold sovereigns are to be spent in the next few months expanding and improving the roads in his lands to better facilitate the movement of goods and people and to ensure the continued growth of the economy in vital sectors such as agriculture, mining, and scavenging operations. Though a sizable expense for the treasury to cover, demands for increased taxes would not be heard in his presence. The purpose of the project was to promote commerce and trade, not to jeopardize the wealth of his subjects and that of Columbia's.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b>Algonquia's Preperations for the Winter</b>​</div><br>
The cool autumn air was prevelant in the northern territories of Algonquia. The trees were changing from their uniform green to a brilliant display of oranges, reds, and yellows. Despite the ongoing harvest season, however, Algonquia's rocky soil and relatively small size made actual gains somewhat small, especially in comparison to the kingdoms in the Great Plains. However, that concern was slightly offset by the land's greatest natural bounty- the ocean. Fish was all too common a food in Algonquia, especially within the larger settlements such as New Salem, New Acoaxet, and the fortress city of Yale. The citizenry, however, was still able to enjoy hardier crops like wheat, apples, and especially the pumpkins that grew in their melon fields. Save for the small build up of weaponry in the Algonquian barracks, most notably within Shelton, the kingdom was quiet in the face of the impeding winter. There was the matter of some strangers arriving in New Salem, but such trivial matters didn't seem to bother Queen Catori, in all her divine grace.<br>
<br>
She had bigger things to worry about, such as securing the Long Island off the coast of the Connectican province. The sound of water between the two landmasses was teeming with wildlife. Crabs, jellies, and most importantly, the previously mentioned fish. Were some backwards tribe or a rival kingdom to obtain control of the island, Algonquia would be forced to share one of its major resources in a vast stretch of water. This simply could not be allowed to happen. the lifeline of sea food that the Long Island Sound provided must stay completely within Algonquian hands, at all costs.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #ff0000">"So how is it looking, then?" </span>Asked Catori within the confines of her palace in Grand Mohegan, most specifically the small planning room that she used to discuss strategy with her generals. Without any wars for the past few years, however, the room was used mostly for more generalized purposes of state, and the priests of New Salem had found their way among the otherwise secular military officials. <span style="color: #ff0000">"Will we have enough food for the winter?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #660066">"Yes my queen."</span> Responded one such intruding clergyman, an older man by the name of Sampson. The lines of his aged face, and his snow white hair was hidden beneath shadows of his black hood. A customary garb for the priests of Salem's Truth, but also something that was rather useful for keeping one's ears warm in the chilly weather.<span style="color: #660066"> "Despite increases of population, we've managed enough harvest to keep us satisfied during the winter. I may add, though, that our surplus is much less than last years. May I suggest-"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #ff0000">"I know what you want to suggest, Sampson."</span> Catori snapped. Her patience for these god fearing men preaching to her in her own court was growing dreadfully thin. <span style="color: #ff0000">"But that will not be possible right now. Winter is fast approaching, and an expedition to the island is doomed to end in starvation and failure. I can not risk such a gamble right now."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #660066">"Then I suppose that you've made adequate preparations for the spring? Your majesty?"</span> Both Sampson and Catori shifted their gazes to the third man in the room. Burly and tall, though evidently balding, Ahanu was Catori's most trusted advisor, and in charge of Algonquia's logistics.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #00b300">"Indeed. We have enough ore stored up for full production of weaponry and supplies during the winter months. Once spring arrives, I am sure that our men will be prepared to deal with anything thrown at them."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #ff0000">"Excellent."</span> Said Catori, moving her eyes between her company. <span style="color: #ff0000">"In which case, I will ask that we secure the borders and hunker down for the snows. I expect that any firewood we might use up can be easily replenished. Our forests are thick and many, after all. You're both dismissed."</span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Kingdom of the Four Cities</b><br>
Memphis<br>
<br>
It was morning. In the streets was a military parade. Over 3000 troops were lined up and ready to march in three different directions. Princess Chevalia stood on the steps of the Graceland Mansion, Memphis's ceremonial stand. After declaring several inspiring words, every soldier and citizen cried "Long Live the King, Long Live the Cities!" Chevalia watched as her army split into three and marched their way North, South, and West. Scouts have already been traversing the area and had figured out a path.  Chevalia joined the troops headed west, as they crossed the bridge into the Frontier.<br>
<br>
<b>3 months from now, at end of Time Skip</b><br>
Northern Forces<br>
<br>
They were now in Louisville. Winter was approaching, so they decided to stop and make their way back towards the kingdom. Thankfully they could follow the ancient highway, I-65, down to Nashville. In all likelihood, everything from Louisville to the northern border would become part of the kingdom, that is if those living in Louisville consent. For now, they live on the hospitality of this community.<br>
<br>
A small contingent continued their way north, numbering 100. They reached the border of a place called the Rust Belt. (<a href="/members/general-deth-glitch.17501/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="17501" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId119">

 )<br>
<br>
Southern Forces<br>
<br>
They have reached a stalemate at the small town of Greenville, where they encountered other unknown troops. "We mean no harm! We are just explorers!" For now, the mission south will have to wait. Word had already been sent to Princess Chevalia. "We hail from the Kingdom of the Four Cities!"<br>
<a href="/members/emperorazazel.44236/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="44236" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId121">

 <br>
<br>
Western Forces<br>
<br>
Princess Chevalia was quite happy, seeing all these new places. They had reached a place called Las Vegas, having crossed plains and desert. They passed through Mormon Kingdoms, each and every one of which Chevalia had to reject an offer of marriage. Nonetheless, they left some troops in every town they came across, creating an efficient communication system. Now they only numbered 300 compared to the 1000 they started off with, with 700 being stationed across their path. Chevalia received the letter and replied with one that basically said to make friends with those in the south. Chevalia looked back towards the west.<br>
<br>
She was wearing light clothes, being in the desert, letting her fair figure be adored by her men. She wore a large hat, covering the sun from her face. On the ancient maps of this continent, there was an ocean beyond the high mountain range. Its gonna take all winter to find a safe place to cross the Rockies, so they make their stop in Las Vegas and resume the expedition in Spring. Turning her horse around to face the troops, she declared her intentions and started heading back East to the kingdom. At the current pace, she'll be able to reach Memphis before snowfall. Many merchants and several soldiers followed her back, leaving only 200 men left in Las Vegas. For now, her troops are under the hospitality of the Mormon Kings and other small communities. Hopefully their Hospitality is just as great as our own Southern Hospitality.</div>

They always were, seeing as they were the "Light of the West". He knew that they held the torch of progress and if they failed, the light of progress would die. The Columbians were Catholic fanatics, but he would work with them as he saw the coming tide of the Mormons. Once the Yamaka were dealt with, he would turn his attention to the Mormons. He didn't want there land, no, but he wanted them out of the picture, maybe installing puppet Kings and have them pay tribute to him? Maybe he would style himself Emperor? But that was a long ways away, and so he waited, as the first snowflake fell</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Early November</b><br>
Tiberio looked out over the truly magnificent Grand Canyon. The Hualapai king was beside him, also on horseback. "I am sad to see you go, Tiberio. I believe I can call you my friend, and you will be a worthy husband for my daughter. Still, it will be a sorrow to bid you both farewell." Tiberio replied, not breaking his stare from the canyon. "I hope to return here one day, father-in-law. Perhaps I will soon, so we may work together to unite the western Arid Zone." The great Indian laughed a bellowing laugh. "You are very ambitious, Tiberio, always speaking of politics and conquest. It is both a blessing and a curse, though I hope you will grant me with only the blessed side." Tiberio stayed silent. The Indian King's laughter faded away. "Come, let us return to see you off. You have a journey ahead of you."<br>
<br>
<b>Mid-December</b><br>
Augusto welcomed back his brother's party. "You were faster than I expected, brother! 4 months was what you thought the one-way journey would take, but here you are, back already! And I see your wife is as lovely as she was made out to be. Welcome to the Greatest and Most Priceless City of La Paz, m'lady." The small but pretty indian girl timidly raised a hand in greeting. Tiberio spoke to Augusto. "She speaks very little Baxico. She only knows Hualapai, I will have to get tutors for her. Still, she is pretty, fertile, and secures a good ally, so I do not complain. Any news not urgent enough to send a messenger for?" Augusto shook his head. "It has been quiet around here. The lords are content, the trade is prosperous, the people are happy. It is a good time here."<br>
<br>
The party marched inwards towards the castle. Hala was timid the whole time, clearly not used to a city this large. Tiberio joked with Augusto. "If this is awkward, imagine when I have to try and introduce her to my other wife." The two shared a laugh as they nibbled on chicken purchased from a vendor. Ah, street food, a tradition from before the Plague, before even the Age of Gods. A timeless art of meat, grease, and sauces from around the world. Truly nothing better. When the group reached the castle, the gate was opened for the party and pikemen saluted the King. He idly rode in and dismounted, then helped his new wife do the same. They entered the castle doors, Tiberio home once more, Hala in a strange new land.<br>

Sir Gregor stood there puzzled he had not the men to fight but it seemed these people where harmless enough, didn't mean he let down hia guard as he spoke back to the outsiders. "All lands south of this point belong to the Baton, and it's Emperor. If you come in peace disarm and we shall break bread and take you to our capital to celebrate new friendships. If you stand a foe do not insult us with lies however" he said trying to show he would be friendly so long as they remained friendly.

The Emperor never the less was exact at the progress<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Near Greenville, Baton Outpost?<br>
</b><br>
The commander waved his hand. Weapons could be heard sliding back into their sheaths. There were now only about 150 of them standing directly in front of the man speaking. The rest had set up a border (or really a patrol) up the river and across all the way to a very small community called Little Rock, a place the where the Western Expedition had crossed. To the east, they patrolled up to the old I-55 highway. They weren't taking any chances. Regardless of whether or not these people were simple southern folk, if they passed the expeditionary force and made their way to Memphis, it would be the greatest folly the cities's army has ever had. <br>
"My duty bounds me to my blade. If you are a knight like I am, then surely you also know that to not have a blade by your side is the same as surrendering. We will certainly partake in your generous meal nonetheless." As he finished this, shuffling could be heard among their ranks, then followed by the sound of marching from the north. As the commander turned to look, he saw 100 cavalry men bearing the colors of the City of Nashville. His men opened a path as three of the 100 slowly came forward. The two in the back carried the flags of the Kingdom of the Four Cities and the Royal Traylor Insignia. At this, he knew that the Princess herself has come.<br>
<br>
The men bowed while the Commander-knight struck his own blade into the ground and knelled. One of the flag bearers declared loudly that the princess was here. "Her Royal Highness, Crown Princess of the Kingdom of the Four Cities, Chevalia Trish Traylor, has returned from her Western Expedition and has come to open diplomatic ties with those that the Southern Expedition has met." The princess, riding a magnificent brown stead spoke in a gentle and cheerful voice. "Please, rise."<br>
<br>
She then climbed down her stead herself. Upon seeing this, every man riding a horse immediately stood on flat ground, paying respect to Chevalia. Still wearing her horse riding outfit, she turned to face the other party. Lightly touching the tip of her helmet and moving her left hand behind her back, she made a slight mix between a curtsy and a bow. "I am Chevalia Trish Traylor. I apologize for my appearance and my short notice, but I do insist that you allow us to see your... Emperor... The kingdom has conducted many crusades alongside smaller communities and sovereignty in the fair land of the South, but we had no explicit knowledge that an emperor resided on the Mississippi.<br>

"I am Sir Gregor, and if you stand at peace I do as well until my lord demands otherwise." He said to the group his own men putting away their swords as the peasants slowly began to disperse back to the normal life, it was obvious that the baton where trying to reach far and claim what of the river they could and this outpost in Greenville would certainly make a good addition with the ones set up more south in Tullula and Lake Providence. During the short stand off a lone rider had doubled back to quickly try and inform the Emperor of what was going on ahead of the expeditionary force, "We have plenty of food in many a variety. My men must stay here to defend this territory but I was just on my way back to the capital, welcome to the Empire" He said as suddenly horses rode up, it was a suprize to suddenly see so many horses and it not be part of and raiding party, Sir Gregor gave a quick bow to be certious but did not wait to be told to rise. While a guest she had no power over him or his men, "a pleasure to meet you your grace, as I was telling your caravan I shall escort you all back to the capital for a nice meal and you may dicuss whatever you with with our Emperor. If you have any questions in the meantime I would be more than happy to answer them on the way" Gregor said as a horse was brought up to him, "it is pleaseing to see a fresh face that isn't trying to kill us, most of the south has become rather calm now days. All of Louisiana is now under the banner of the Empire and we already make advances into Texas and Alabama' he said mostly bluffing about it but they had no way to know if this was true or not and eventually it would be. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The revitalization of the Kingdom of Columbia's infrastructure progressed smoothly into winter and was nearly complete, Vivian proudly observed. The workers, close to the end of their job, seemed to only accelerate once more of the struggle was behind them. In the years and decades to come continued growth and expansion was all but ensured for future generations.<br>
<br>
Which was why it was now time to turn his attention to the incessant question of water in the Los Angeles Basin. Many hundreds of years before his time the ancients used great aqueducts to supply the same thirsting city he ruled now, but they had all irreparably broken down due to neglect and the destruction of old world black magic from the lands of North America. Vivian's predecessors attempted to construct their own, the remains of which are scattered throughout the desert, but they had never fully completed in light of the lives and gold that they consumed as astonishingly quick as leaves in a forest fire. The Kingdom of Columbia could now with many hundreds of thousands of men at it's disposal, at the height of it's power, finish what it's past selves have been forced to abandon and discard part-way through in order for exponentially greater harvests and water supplies to more comfortably weather famines and droughts.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b>&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;</b><br>​</div>The Kingdom of Cascadia and it's seat of Seattle was impressive, although noticeably smaller in scale than his lordship's, Ambassador Roland of the Kingdom of Columbia and representative of his majesty King Vivian Wylmot found. The timber and fishing industries appeared to be the mainstay of the peasantry, and a profitable one at that. <i>Still</i>, he thought, <i>it paled in comparison to the bustling marketplaces and crowded ports of his homeland</i>. Documenting the size of the Cascadian navy and army wherever he found it only further confirmed reports that the military strength of King Edward I while notable appeared to be at a glance heavily parceled to the sea to the detriment of it's land forces. In other words, a serious contender and possible challenger of Columbian dominance of the coastline and the ocean beyond it, yet an almost equally matched opponent on the common soil they happened to share should Columbia's advantage in numbers not prove a deciding factor in the conflict rather than the widely held experience of Cascadia's men in the art of warfare. Regardless, the current objective he held was to achieve a trade agreement and a military alliance between the two realms, be they Protestant heathens or not.<br>
<br>
Over the next hours he and his escort of knights disembarked from the carrack that facilitated their journey and patiently waited for the reception party of their many splendored host to receive them.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Edward sat on in his chair in the discussions room. As he sat there, he peered out into the city and soon saw the Great Libary of Seattle. It was a marvel and one of the greatest achievements the city had ever made in its existence. Constructed 200 years ago by King Maximillion II, it held the knowledge of the entire realm, containing books of history, religious texts with commentaries by different preists, works of fiction, paintings (which include every king ever to rule Cascadia), sculptures , and pre-war relics, which included a rusted pole that had some sort of flame that was powered by a long lost concept called electricity (hough some said it was powered by magic lost when the Great Plauge came through), some sort of old sign that had in yellow letters "Mc" but the rest had long ago been washed away (some believe it was a place of learning called a university), old pieces of paper and cloth with an odd transcription of "E Pluribus Unum", with many historians beliving it used to be something meaning unity in a language long dead and lost to the plague. There were numerous other artifacts, but the most prized one was a metal barrel in a caseing with a handle with a trigger on it. If you flipped the barrel open, it had holes in it. Some belive it to be it fired the "fire arrows" spoke in Indian legends while some belive it was nothing more than a child's toy<br>
<br>
Edward shook himself from his stupor, and looked to his navy. It was impressive, and quite powerful in the region. After all, the remnants of the slaves in Vancouver always did want to extract sweet vengeance on them and tried to raid their ships for supplies, and a large and powerful navy was needed. Meanwhile, their army was powerful quite powerful, while the standing army was decent, most of the population was in reservers and every male who was not nobel at the age of 18 was forced to be in the military for 2 years, meaning the population was trained and ready for war. His gates were open and he sat in his seat, waiting for the ambassadors to arrive</div>

Chevalia smiled, "Of Course." She turned to her own knight-commander and told him to keep his men here. She'll bring along her 100 men. Of course, that included her maids and servants who refuse to let Chevalia leave their sights. She climbed back onto her horse and her 100 Calvary and Flagbearers trotted forward in columns of 4 behind Chevalia. She beamed a child like smile to Sir Gregor. "Shall we depart? Oh! and may I ask the full title of your nation?" It would be worrisome for Kingdom to have to deal with another nation as powerful as itself, and one who controls the southern part of the Mississippi river.<br>
<br>
When she returned to Nashville, she declared that the lands crossed by the Northern Expedition (Kentucky) would become part of the Kingdom. She knew that she was gonna have to expand south, closer to the communities of Birmingham and Atlanta, or at least to cover the entirety of the Tennessee River. Because of that, she was cautious of the bumping into other powerful nations. She knew all this, but she couldn't stop her own excitement at the travel to new lands.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Seeing the work on the improved and extended road networks finished and the final segments of the aqueducts on their way to completion, the only thing left to do in Vivian's mind was to encourage the now accelerated expansion and economic growth of the Kingdom of Columbia as best as he is physically capable of. In light of the noticeably depleted royal treasury he turned to tax incentives to draw the attention of the peasantry to the frontier. Peasants or nobles who can double their current amount of cultivated acreage through their own effort or those that establish a new estate or farm of no less than six hundred cultivated acres are to be exempted from their obligatory taxes for the entirety of a year since the day of completion of either of the two tasks.<br>
<br>
After the initial favorable responses from his allies and confidantes he enacted the decree and spread the word throughout all the land as to galvanize the subjects of his nation into action taken in pursuit of their own self-interest. To secure additional arable land ten thousand able bodied men are to be levied from the ranks of commoners and trained for a duration of two weeks as pikemen before being sent along with sizeable groups of knights and in the wake of rangers to secure through diplomacy and if necessary through war all the land and villages south of the Kingdom of Columbia all the way to the post-plague borders of the Kingdom of San Diego (encompassing the entirety of San Diego County) and the pre-plague borders of the former and unimaginably great Kingdom of California.<br>

Ambassador Roland entered the discussion room at the King of Cascadia's leisure. Heading a column of four pairs of attendants carrying a series of gifts for their kingly host, he sat down without the following of the etiquettes or courtesies normally expected of his position in foreign lands. As representative of his lordship Vivian Wylmot, he was to be treated as if it was he who sat on the throne. Anything more or less would imply that the two kings were unequal in stature. Gesturing to his sides as the servants placed chests on the table executed themselves, he opened the containers one by one, showcasing and offering the contents inside them to Edward I before setting them aside. "I've brought an exquisitely crafted yew longbow, a trio of aged wines selected from the finest vineyards of Columbia, ten pounds of roasted Geisha coffee beans, and the latest designs of minimalist Columbian fashion to thank your royal highness for so graciously receiving our diplomatic overtures and hosting our delegation."<br>
<br>
He paused in his thrice prepared remarks, his dark eyes scanning the facial features of Edward I. "At your bidding we can transition to matters of business between our two realms."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-size: 15px">The meeting with Maria Colombo had been... unfortunate. Tiberio had hoped she'd be civil, but upon the moment she'd met Hala she'd been cold and cruel. She mocked Hala for a full two minutes before exploding into anger and shouts, leaving poor shy Hala sobbing uncontrollably and with a bleeding nose before guards dragged Maria away. Tiberio tended to her wounds softly and carefully. They'd known eachother for only a few months compared to Tiberio's 7 years with Maria, and he already like Hala far more. Perhaps even love could grow between them, eventually. Besides, she would bear his son. Maria would never know Tiberio's bed again, that was for sure, not with Hala around. Maria couldn't grant him a kingdom, not even much else.<br>
<br>
The special adviser, Miguel Enseta, entered into the room. "Milord... ah, this must be Hala of the Hualapai. M'lady, you are more stunning than could ever be described." He was visibly uncomfortable at the crying girl. Tiberio smiled. "She cannot understand you. You may go, I'll be out in a few minutes." Miguel awkwardly exited. Tiberio turned back to Hala. "Poor, poor girl... I am sorry about Maria. It won't happen again." After a few more minutes his new wife collected herself and Tiberio went to speak with Miguel. "What is it, Enseta?" "Milord, some ships arrived while you were gone. These ships were greater than any we'd ever seen, and they claimed to come from a land of myth, the great Southern Continent. They call themselves 'Galapagueños' and brought great wonders, like tortoises the size of men and wonderful spices, even gold. They wish to trade with us." Tiberio thought for a moment. "This... this is strange, but if they do have such exotic wares it would be good to trade. I'm sure we can offer some of our finer product in exchange for these wonders. We shall trade with the 'Galapagueños'."</span><br>

It was just after midnight in the recently founded town of Port Washington located in a strategically chosen area in southeastern Alaska, far from the Mountain Complex but relatively close to the lower forty eight states. A town that was to be the capital of Directive 40's surface operations and their program to resettle all of the former United States and a new beginning for the old world and the American citizens that were now being vaccinated for the Plague and sent back out into the world they had fled from over eight centuries ago. Port Washington, named after the first President of the United States was a small but booming settlement, growing immensely by the day as construction continued day and night and for the most part twenty four hours a day seven days a week with crews from both civilian departments of the Directive and the Army Corps of Engineers being rotated in and out with the benefits of their hard work being that them and their families were the first ones to be resettled into the outside world again. The natural calmness of the surrounding forests, mountains, rivers and oceans was interrupted by the harsh mechnical whirring and buzzing of the various construction sites scattered around the growing town that occupied a small corner of the coastline of Baranof Island. Bright floodlights ensuring that those working on the sites could keep doing so no matter how dark it got and with sufficient warm clothing and heat sources being provided to the workers to also ensure that they could work as comfortably as possible regardless of how low the temperatures dropped.<br>
<br>
So far the fledgling albeit as mentioned before rapidly growing town had a population of around 2,200 and rising. With the majority of the population being made up of the construction workers, Army Engineers and their families however others had also been brought out into the world to join Port Washington as well, a small selection of medical staff and a detachment of Army Rangers had been stationed in the town to both protect it and make sure if there were any injuries that they could be treated. So far the town had it's own hospital, the Port Washington Medical Center. It's own park that had been named Freedom Park, like the town's name implied a rather large port along the river the town was being built on that was large enough to hold container ships and US Navy vessels with expansions being made so that it could be the homeport of even the William F. Halsey aircraft carrier. A smaller port for civilian fishing and luxury boats and yachts, a waste, water and energy facility all in one to supply essential utilities to the town, a small residential district filled with lovely suburban homes modelled after those in pre-Plague America for the workers and their families, a barracks for the military personnel stationed in the town with plans for those barracks to be expanded into a fully fledged US military installation with it's own airfield for the F-15's and helicopters that the Air Force were eager to bring out of storage, the town also had it's very own Town Hall which was to be the center for the Directive's civilian governing in the outside world and the town was even host to a small commercial highstreet in the center of town just next to the town hall.<br>
<br>
As for what the future plans for what the town was to have included were it's own nursery and elementary school for both the prepubescent population of the Directive alongside future children once the embyros had begun being unfrozen and grown, alongside these facilities would also be a middle school-high school combination as to acommedate both those age groups and an actual university which was to be named the University of America or UAM for short. Other plans also included a police station to restore a sense of civilian law and order for the citizens of the Directive rather than the military dealing with security and justice. A fire station for obvious reasons, a church, a cinema, a small sports stadium that would also be home to a leisure complex equipped with swimming pools and large gymnasiums for the civilian population to use, numerous large farms that would be on the outskirts of the town and also once Port Washington was deemed to be mostly complete a transportation network of roads and railway tracks to begin connecting the town to all of the other towns that would soon begin being set up along Balanof Island as well, a civilian airport was also on the list of priorities so that the population could travel between the towns on Balanof and the Arcadia Mountain Complex further up the state.​</div></div>

While he knew not why, many hosts and messengers had arrived to meet with him and discuss relations with the Rust Belt. He mused '<i>Heathens they may be, but many follow the false faiths those before the great calamity followed and so I shall grant them audience, I suppose.' </i>He had messengers meet them at the many points they were being held to keep foreign forces outside Belt Heartland. They sent the following message 'The Grand Fabricator invites you all to meet with his court in his palace. A feast will be held and the markets will provide their finest wears for your browsing pleasures.' With that they granted them entrance to their lands and all the information they would need to find the palace. Meanwhile the palace was emptier then before. The lords of the realm had return to their own halls and palaces and expansion plans were being drawn. He hoped to retake the rest of Michigan so that they could have a more secure northern border.</div>

Chevalia smiled, "Of Course." She turned to her own knight-commander and told him to keep his men here. She'll bring along her 100 men. Of course, that included her maids and servants who refuse to let Chevalia leave their sights. She climbed back onto her horse and her 100 Calvary and Flagbearers trotted forward in columns of 4 behind Chevalia. She beamed a child like smile to Sir Gregor. "Shall we depart? Oh! and may I ask the full title of your nation?" It would be worrisome for Kingdom to have to deal with another nation as powerful as itself, and one who controls the southern part of the Mississippi river.<br>
<br>
When she returned to Nashville, she declared that the lands crossed by the Northern Expedition (Kentucky) would become part of the Kingdom. She knew that she was gonna have to expand south, closer to the communities of Birmingham and Atlanta, or at least to cover the entirety of the Tennessee River. Because of that, she was cautious of the bumping into other powerful nations. She knew all this, but she couldn't stop her own excitement at the travel to new lands.<br>

"We are known simply as the Empire of Baton. We are a rather simple people but our Emperor will be more than happy to regale you with the tale of our people. After all his family has lead is through many hardships and it is with his knowledge and power that we continue your grow to expand and spread the wisdom of the mighty church." Sir Gregor would lead the expedition south to the current capital of the Empire at the delta plantation where the dignitaries could better speak with the Emperor.<br>
<br>
In that time as well the Emperor had opened his doors to the southern people eager for further trade. Eager to fully control all the lands in lousiana as quickly as possible, and fulfill the bluff sir Gregor had stated now with his knights returned from the north or at the least some of them. He focused all of his manpower on taming the south. It would be a long endeavour. However he was willing to do whatever it tool to unify this state he called home. To that effect he solidified his standing and began to march his forces south 4,500 knights all a very large number of peasant levy (about 50,000) southwards where they would try to make contact with and subjuate any fiefdoms who would challage his claim to the throne of the Mississippi river. <br>
<br>
All this however would only come after terms where dictated between the southern traders and the northern diplomats. Both seemed very interesting especially the woman sir Gregor had told him after but upon his return to the capital<br>

While riding her stead beside Sir Gregor, Chevalia nodded to his explanation. "If I may so ask, what is the church that the Empire prays at? Most of the south follows some form of Protestantism, is that not the foundation of your church?"<br>
<br>
As Chevalia asked with childish curiosity, her two flag bearers behind her shifted in their saddle. The citizens of the Kingdom all follow Southern Hospitality, a form of Southern Protestantism. All forms of Protestantism is tolerated, any other forms of Christianity is viewed with disdain. And god forbid, any religion beyond the word of Christ is simply barbaric. If the hundred cavalry heard an unfavorable answer from Sir Gregor, there would certainly be a ruckus. At this point, the flagbearers, acting as Chevalia's aides, placed all their hope in the drowning noise of their march.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The trade with the Galapagueños had proven to be a good choice. The things they offered had quickly become quite the fad among the Cartel nobility, and owning some of the things they offered was quite the status symbol. For example, Tiberio himself had purchased a small collection of the gigantic tortoises they offered, which now meandered through the royal gardens. Hala enjoyed them immensely, which in turn meant that Maria Colombo had tried to kill them once. Maria was quickly turning from a mildly annoying arranged marriage to a full jealous psychopath. She now had to be accompanied by guards at all time to stop her outbursts.<br>
<br>
Tiberio lay back on a cushion in the shrine to Pablo Escobar, one of the greatest gods of Psicodélico. He supposedly had run a massive cartel empire, controlling all the way from Colombia in the Southern Lands to the Dragon Peninsula in the east. Tiberio was using a very potent cocktail of drugs and plants, a very strong hallucinogenic concocted by the priests. Already the world began to swirl around him. In front of him his father climbed out of the floor, melting his way upwards and becoming solid as he fully exited the bricks. "Tiberio, beware of the westerners. They come for your kingdom." The dead king morphed into a pine tree the size of one of the Old World's steel pinnacles, and the small room around Tiberio morphed into a strangely twisted mountain view. It was both day and night; the world was lit like it was daytime, but the sky was black and starry and had no sun. Tiberio felt as if he were being watched, and as he looked around he realized the mountains had eyes. They watched him silently for what felt like years until the ground below him collapsed and Tiberio fell into a dark hallway in the castle. A window was nearby, and outside he saw La Paz burning in the night, while wolves made of stars and fire, hundreds of feet tall, bound slowly away to the horizon. He heard a screech and saw Maria Colombo, twisted into a monster with claws and sharp teeth, charging and hobbling towards him, making ungodly noises as she did. Tiberio ran, navigating the castle, but it was not the castle he knew. It was endless, with new doors and rooms popping up, the castle changing and rebuilding itself as Tiberio ran. Eventually he could run no longer, and the world went black as the monster-Maria pounced on him.<br>
<br>
When he woke up, he was in the shrine's sleeping room with a bad headache. A priest sat beside him. "Ah, you awaken. What visions did the spirits send to you, my Cesár?" Tiberio explained the events of his hallucinations, or maybe dreams, to the priest. The priest stood up, mildly concerned. "Very good, Cesár. I will consult the tomes and spirits to find the meaning of these visions the gods sent to you." Tiberio stood up and left silently. The westerners would take his kingdom? What could that mean? All that was to the west was endless sea, unless you believed the scholars who said that there were lands far, far to the east, so far that they were west. No, there was no proof of those infinitely distant lands. The westerners... Tiberio would have to consult the geographers and the mapmakers.</div>

While riding her stead beside Sir Gregor, Chevalia nodded to his explanation. "If I may so ask, what is the church that the Empire prays at? Most of the south follows some form of Protestantism, is that not the foundation of your church?"<br>
<br>
As Chevalia asked with childish curiosity, her two flag bearers behind her shifted in their saddle. The citizens of the Kingdom all follow Southern Hospitality, a form of Southern Protestantism. All forms of Protestantism is tolerated, any other forms of Christianity is viewed with disdain. And god forbid, any religion beyond the word of Christ is simply barbaric. If the hundred cavalry heard an unfavorable answer from Sir Gregor, there would certainly be a ruckus. At this point, the flagbearers, acting as Chevalia's aides, placed all their hope in the drowning noise of their march.<br>

</blockquote><br>
They would arrive at the capital shortly after Sir Gregor finished explaining the jist of the religion he followed, it was rather simply. "Well we follow a path from the southern Protestantism but also what once the world called Catholicism, We choose to think that there is only one true god and that his word shall bring us to the promised land upon our death. Our works shall see us through to that world, no man or women poor or wealthy all shall be judged equally by the lord. So all of us work to the best we can each day to spread his word, our Emperor or Empress the divine leader who helps guide our hand and bring the good faith to the people." He made sure to choose his words carefully, keeping out that they viewed him as a sort of pope and instead simply as a guide, once they where all brought to the capital there was a nice feast prepared for them, the river was very plentiful to the plantation, a great number of fresh fish had recently been caught and cooked along with some fresh Maze and green beans. <br>
<br>
The Emperor was waiting seated up on a balcony overlooking the massive compound that was the Delta Plantation. "Welcome Welcome" he shouted down at the visitors as the great gates where opened allowing in the merchants the great Emperor eager to hear of news from the north only around 500 of his guards in attendance for the feast the rest helping with the slow pacification of the rest of the state it would take a long time but it would be worth it as things progressed.<br>

Chevalia nodded and was generally satisfied with the fulfillment of her curiosity. The flagbearers were relieved that Sir Gregor had seemed to pick up on the sensitive topic of it. When Chevalia was part of the Western Expedition, their meeting with the first Mormon King didn't go so smoothly.<br>
<br>
As they entered, three of the four men carrying the flags of Nashville switched them out to their respective cities. One of the flag bearers rode up beside Chevalia and whispered something in her ear. After some conversation, Chevalia pulled back on her reins and allowed the her guard commander to take her place instead, riding alongside Sir Gregor. "My apologizes for not introducing myself earlier. I am Tyron Astler, Commander of Her Highness's Guards. Please do not take offensive to our actions. Even if we are a diplomatic envoy, we would like our esteemed princess to refrain from appearing to be equals with anyone other than royalty, even if she herself actively seeks to engage with the populous." The man remained in a high posture, exhibiting not an attitude of arrogance, but rather one of dignity. <br>
<br>
To be fair, this was a problem they encountered during their travels to Las Vegas. Those Mormon kings had assumed Princess Chevalia to be one of lower status, and this resulted in a fair bit of sword rattling between the men. Well in anycase, the new formation is as follows: At the front are Sir Gregor alongside Guard Commander Tyron Astler. Followed by two Flagbearers, carrying the flag of the Kingdom of the Four Cities. Then Crown Princess Chevalia Traylor herself, two more Flagbearers carrying the Royal Banner of the Traylor Family. Behind them were four more flagbearers, each one carrying a banner of one of the different cities, and in four lines of men, cavalrymen.<br>
<br>
Certainly they garnered some looks among the people. Chevalia herself waved to them with a cheerful smile. If it wasn't for the fact that she was part of a procession, she would immediately jump of her horse and start exploring the place. When they all came to an eventual stop, Tyron Astler would loudly declare Chevalia's presence.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The pikemen had excellent discipline and could march and form into shield wall and square formations as impressively as any man he had ever seen, Vivian noted. Mechanical movements that would hold up in battles no matter how dire with the weight of their faith and the emotionless resolve of their people. In short, it was everything that was needed of them before they set off for the southern expansion as commanded by their lord. The columns of men-at-arms rapped their halberds against the cobblestone of his castle's courtyard in unison before finishing with a final uniform crash of hobnails against the ground they stood upon and beginning their march out of the city and towards the wild frontier in the company of knights and rangers, followed by hundreds of those wanting to make their fortune in lands yet untamed.<br>
<br>
Vivian returned to the dockyards and finished the trade dealings with the Galapagueños, gaining much from the heathens with the loss of relatively little, in particular achievement of a ratio of one of the giant tortoises for a tenth of it's weight in wine. He even took his master shipbuilders to the negotiations in order to throughly document the innards and secrets of the foreign vessels. Their attempts at reverse engineering the crafts would begin immediately and offer a great boon to the merchantile fleet and perhaps even the Columbian navy itself in time if successful.</div>

Chevalia nodded and was generally satisfied with the fulfillment of her curiosity. The flagbearers were relieved that Sir Gregor had seemed to pick up on the sensitive topic of it. When Chevalia was part of the Western Expedition, their meeting with the first Mormon King didn't go so smoothly.<br>
<br>
As they entered, three of the four men carrying the flags of Nashville switched them out to their respective cities. One of the flag bearers rode up beside Chevalia and whispered something in her ear. After some conversation, Chevalia pulled back on her reins and allowed the her guard commander to take her place instead, riding alongside Sir Gregor. "My apologizes for not introducing myself earlier. I am Tyron Astler, Commander of Her Highness's Guards. Please do not take offensive to our actions. Even if we are a diplomatic envoy, we would like our esteemed princess to refrain from appearing to be equals with anyone other than royalty, even if she herself actively seeks to engage with the populous." The man remained in a high posture, exhibiting not an attitude of arrogance, but rather one of dignity.<br>
<br>
To be fair, this was a problem they encountered during their travels to Las Vegas. Those Mormon kings had assumed Princess Chevalia to be one of lower status, and this resulted in a fair bit of sword rattling between the men. Well in anycase, the new formation is as follows: At the front are Sir Gregor alongside Guard Commander Tyron Astler. Followed by two Flagbearers, carrying the flag of the Kingdom of the Four Cities. Then Crown Princess Chevalia Traylor herself, two more Flagbearers carrying the Royal Banner of the Traylor Family. Behind them were four more flagbearers, each one carrying a banner of one of the different cities, and in four lines of men, cavalrymen.<br>
<br>
Certainly they garnered some looks among the people. Chevalia herself waved to them with a cheerful smile. If it wasn't for the fact that she was part of a procession, she would immediately jump of her horse and start exploring the place. When they all came to an eventual stop, Tyron Astler would loudly declare Chevalia's presence.<br>

<b>Baton Capital, Delta Plantation<br>
</b><br>
As they came up the plantations roads they would see row upon row upon hundered of row of various vegetable and fruit stocks. The entire plantation was a fortified garden, if it was ever seiged there would be no telling as to how long the plantation could last able to grow their own food inside ment while they had a larger area to protect the odds of them going bindery where very slim, and even if them he outside did fall they would burn the crops and fall back to the secondary wall built around the home of the Emperor. A large circular wall which encompassed the house would be the last line of defense should the need arise, for now all enemies had been pushed to far away to be a real worry.<br>
<br>
Alistair von baton the 6th was the current Emperor and the man to welcome the group past the secondary wall and into the great plaza that made for the imperial palace, the palace itself stood atop a small hill a perfectly white house with some additions here and there mostly made of wood but with some stone buildings attached, it was the best for the moment Baton had to call a palace but it had made due for a long time. "Announcing the presence of his imperial magesty, Emperor of Baton and Louisana, Alistair von Baton the 6th." A speaker shouted as the emperor stepped from his home to go out and great the new arrivals with open arms. "Welcome to my humble home, It is a pleasure to meet you all" Alsiter said stepped down towards them his guards flanking him on each side another 20 with bows now covering the exit. You always had to be careful when allowing  others into you our home these days.<br>

Everyone got off their horses and bent forward in respect to their host. Chevalia, gave a light nod, considering that her attire was still one of a horse rider's. After the initial exchange of respect, Chevalia walked forward to the Emperor while her aides rushed forward to make her more presentable, replacing the overcoat with a clean one and her helmet with headwear similar to the ones that her mother would wear when she was out in public, or so she was told. Chevalia's face strained ever so slightly in protest to the sudden change of attire. By the time she was several paces before Emperor Alistair, the aides had done their duty and returned quietly to their posts in the demonstration. As she lifted her right hand up to her chest, she noticed that they had also changed it to a clean one. In any case, she placed her hand to her chest and bent forward ever so slightly. "I am Crown Princess Chevalia Traylor of the Kingdom of the Four Cities. We have come from the north seeking to open diplomatic ties with your sovereignty." Raising back up, she smiled a gentle smile. "We would like to thank you for your hospitality."<br>

<br>
It was a bright, sunny Saturday morning for the still growing American coastal town of Port Washington. The various song-like sounds of the town's surrounding nature mixing with the loud, mechanical whirring and buzzing of the construction sites that laid scattered all across said town as the construction crews from the night before begun finishing up their shifts and heading to the homes that they had built all those months ago, being swiftly replaced by newly awoken workers ready to take their place for the rest of the day as work on America's first town in eight hundred years could not slow nor stop at all, it would continue going non-stop until it was completed. Soon every man, woman and child would have a home in the outside world but that goal was still a short ways away and even now in these early stages of construction, Port Washington was not being designed and built-up to house all the tens of thousands of personnel of the Directive but merely a small percentage of the overall population for it would be the capital city. Other towns were to be built all across Baranof Island, where they would then be connected to one another by roads and railways. But again, this would begin happening across the coming months and was not the subject of today's first 'outside-world' meeting between the leadership of the Directive, no today they would be discussing at the Port Washington Town Hall the status of Canada and the Continental United States and what their joint military-scientific expeditions to those territories had brought back.<br>
<br>
The conference room in the west wing of the town hall was filling up rather quickly with men and women of varying professions but all sharing one common trait of being high-ranking no matter what profession they were in. Those included in the room were the commanding officers of the 10th US Army Mountain Division and 1st Battalion, 1st Marines, the Colonel of the 2nd Battalion Army Rangers, Admiral Kainsley of the Naval Fleet alongside the Captain of the William F. Halsey and the Chief of Staff of the USAF. These were the men and women representing the Directive's and America's military intelligence gathering and interest over the outside world, for the civilian representation of what was more or less the same thing there was Director Tanwell herself, the chief medical officer for the Directive, the leading Anthropologist of the Directive; Professor Martin Lee, along with him there were the Directive's leading experts on psychology, sociology, jurispurdence, political science, economics and religion. There were also various members of both civilian engineering expertise and those from the Army Corps of Engineers but those two groups chose to mix together to better discuss the situation of the outside world with one another and so were counted as neither solely military or solely civilian. Director Tanwell taking her seat at the front of the room, the Admiral on one side of her and Professor Lee on the other side, the room's once bustling sound of chatter and intellect quickly dying down as the three prominent figures were now seated.<br>
<br>
"Thank you all for coming, I know all of the people in this room have many important matters to attend to." The older woman started off with in her eloquent English accent. "As you all know this will be our first meeting outside of the Mountain Complex. Which I believe is both a symbolic and practical achievement that we all should be very proud of, the town that this building is in is only the start of our operations in the outside world, and will be remembered decades from now as the place where America was reborn after centuries of rest. But alas, myself and the good Admiral here did not arrange for this meeting to be held to simply pat ourselves on the back, no. Again, as you all know our military and scientific services have been carrying out intense reconnaissance operations across Alaska, southern Canada and the Contiguous United States for the past few months now, and the results of their reconnaissance have been...interesting to say the very least of it." She spoke, her tone suggesting a mutual knowing around the room of what she was talking about when she said interesting. That being confirmed when she recieved slow nods in response from various personnel around the octagon shaped table. The Director tapping a small touchpad looking device next to her as a near-solid looking projection appeared in the center of the room for all to see. It showed a map of North America with both the Mountain Complex's and Port Washington's locations dotted on it, but with various other dots as well.<br>
<br>
"What you see here is very clearly a map of our continent, ladies and gentlemen. But pay close attention to the locations we have pointed out on this map for these are all of the civilizations that we have as of today found and recorded. Does anyone notice anything about the location of these civilizations?" She questioned, much like a teacher would to her class full of students but in a manner that signified her recognization of them as peers rather than learners. A man in a multicam camouflaged uniform speaking up to answer, "A lot of them are located around former cities?" He answered in a questioning tone, certain that what he said was the right answer but not knowing if it was the one his superior currently wanted though recieving confirmation on that with a nod from the older woman who turned her attention back to the screen in the center of the room. "Indeed, and from continued observation and reconnaissance of these civilizations we have discovered that many of them have adopted many of the same religions and cultures of our time before the outbreak, albeit there have been many changes, depending on the civilization these changes can range from minor to drastic. We have also noticed a largely increased number in the population of Native-Americans as well, with countless dozens of tribes now inhabiting locations all across the continent though they are mainly concentrated in the lower forty eight. And although unconfirmed we do suspect that there is cultural and racial tension between the Native-American tribes in the countryside and the Caucasian-American civilizations that are centered around former metropolitian areas."<br>
<br>
"Now this--" Professor Lee spoke up with, the Director giving a gesture with her hand indicating that he could speak without fear of being rude as the man now chose to continue on with what he was saying unopposed. "Along with various other economic, military, cultural and religious rivalries between many of the larger and smaller powers in the lower forty eight and southern Canada makes it very difficult for us to establish a peaceful foothold and known presence in those regions in the future without stirring shit, if you'll all pardon my French. As we all already know, the technology of these factions is all very comparable and almost exactly alike that of medieval Europe, their cultural tendencies also reflect their medieval counterparts in that regard which makes diplomacy very difficult and military domination very easy, now I know that is obviously a good thing to the uh..more war-minded individuals in this room but it does make our Directive's job a lot harder. So far we have gathered a lot of information on these factions in a comparatively little timespan and this is a very good thing for us but we all know that the end goal of our program is to resettle and rebuild the United States, this is an achievable goal but one that I and many of my peers would like to see done peacefully and with the support of our descendents who are now living among the ruins of our old world not whatever the opposite of that may entail. Which is why I propose we begin more in-depth analysis of these civilizations, their governments, their economies, religions and social norms."<br>
<br>
"Obviously an unmanned drone can't do any of that, but neither can a team of Army Rangers hiding in the bushes a mile away from the city walls. So my plan is to begin sending in teams of experts from various fields into the factions of our choice, we can give them cover stories, disguises, train them in how to engage with people who very clearly have entirely different societal standards and ways of behaving and speaking to us and have them report in to Directive command on any events that occur or any developments they make in their learning of these people and their way of living. It is not uncommon in these factions to have roaming bands of travellers and traders that go from city to city, bringing valuable commerce with them so I believe that we could very easily get away with this, especially with the superpower known as hindsight given the medieval nature of these factions." And with that there was an array of nodding around the table as small murmured conversations broke out between a few groups of civilian and military representatives before there was more nodding, it seemed as though the leadership of the Directive had agreed on what the Professor had said, adding that to the approving nod from the Director and the content or rather neutral expression of the Admiral and it would appear that the Professor would get his wish of more in-depth studying of the people of North America. "If there are any objections to the Professor's proposal, please bring them to the table now." The Director spoke with, recieving only silence in response, a good sign for the Professor sitting next to her. "Very well, we will begin preparations for a joint research venture between our military and scientific services. Very well done, Martin."​</div></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The sea was cold and restless under the grey sky. It was just as beautiful as any bright summer day in the opinion of Tiberio, the dulled colors having their own kind of allure. It matched, too; a brooding sky for a brooding king. The message from the gods had disturbed Tiberio greatly. The westerners were coming to take his kingdom? What westerners? The coast of the Pacific was as far west as anyone could be, unless you believed in magic slant-eyed yellow men from across the sea who worshipped dragons and built great walls, which of course Tiberio didn't. The only people farther west than here were fairy tale-men and bedtime monsters. But then what could Tiberio's father have been trying to warn him of?<br>
<br>
This got him nowhere. He would have to focus on something else, or this would drive him insane. It was time to prepare for the upcoming wars in the western Arid Zone, and the Kingdom needed to prepare. The Cartels were already organizing their troops and were beginning training, which was good. The Hualapai had also confirmed that they were preparing their armies to come down south. All were making sure in their plans to avoid the cursed city of Firebird, the city of thirst, the city of pinnacles of gray bone. Even Tiberio dared not disturb it, despite his general disdain of magic and superstition. His armies would make sure to stay far away from the city of ashes, the city of dark rebirth.<br>
<br>
Things were getting stranger. Several villages on the west coast had reported seeing dragons moving at impossible speeds, and some had said it had screamed a great scream that boomed across the land. There were always a few sightings of dragons and chupacabras, but these were eerily consistent and close together. A dragonslayer would have to be sent to the region, to hunt beasts that nobody had seen for hundreds of years. Dragons, cursed cities, strange traders from the south, attackers from the West; these were strange times.<br>

Everyone got off their horses and bent forward in respect to their host. Chevalia, gave a light nod, considering that her attire was still one of a horse rider's. After the initial exchange of respect, Chevalia walked forward to the Emperor while her aides rushed forward to make her more presentable, replacing the overcoat with a clean one and her helmet with headwear similar to the ones that her mother would wear when she was out in public, or so she was told. Chevalia's face strained ever so slightly in protest to the sudden change of attire. By the time she was several paces before Emperor Alistair, the aides had done their duty and returned quietly to their posts in the demonstration. As she lifted her right hand up to her chest, she noticed that they had also changed it to a clean one. In any case, she placed her hand to her chest and bent forward ever so slightly. "I am Crown Princess Chevalia Traylor of the Kingdom of the Four Cities. We have come from the north seeking to open diplomatic ties with your sovereignty." Raising back up, she smiled a gentle smile. "We would like to thank you for your hospitality."<br>

</blockquote>"It is an honor to house one of the faithful northern kingdoms. We are always wiling to open our doors to a nation that while not the same interpretation as ours. Follows a form of the true faith. You are welcome in my kingdom as long as you wish my doors are open to you so long as you speak of peace. Never the less why have you come to the south? We command the southern crusades against any heretics that would dare spread their filth to the people and Damn their souls, what would gain the attention of the north?" He asked curiously speaking with their princess, he assumed she was here to speak of something important such as trade or a new threat, the Emperor had made it his policy that under his rule the whole of the state and beyond would fall under his banner, that he would take control of the mississipi and create a bulk work against the west. "We have much to discuss and possibly a way to benefit the both of us if your willing to hear me" the emperor was mostly business, he had a lot to do and very little time to do it all. Things needed to be precise and and andnlliance with the north would go along way to further it.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile to the south the cities of baton Rouge was being reconstructed. Outposts rising along the southern kingdom to form a border for continued expansion south. They would crush any kingdom that got into their way, they would join the state under the imperial banner and rebuild from the ashes, the food gained from the rest of this state not to mention with the goods and location new Orleans once captured and rebuild would become the trade hub like it was in the old times. Baton would grow strong, all it needed was a bit more time to get there.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">As tensions rose and fell in the east and north, alliances came and went, and wars fought and won, a new regime rose in the west. Hailing from the ancient city of San Francisco, the Norvanic order rose. It’s banners hung high from the remains of what once was a bridge spanning the frigid bay,upon which sat a bustling market, the noble people of the order, trading with coin forged from the scrap of what once was. <br>
<br>
Below the bridge sits a grand palace, built up from what once held the scum of the city that once beheld it. The great citadel bustles with nobles and Barons, as well as the elite Honor guard of the great Archon, whom spoke for the one and only god. <br>
<br>
The mainland of the town consisted of the built up remains of what once was the crowded apartments and shops. Small business and residence bustled in this area, the lesser folk of the order bustling about the streets to man their workplaces for the day.<br>
<br>
Border towns consisted of a similar structure, with a citadel in the middle next to a grand bazaar, surrounded by the residential districts.<br>
<br>
Few had heard from this quiet stronghold of a dominion, and it became clear that any who wished to speak with them would have to establish the initiation.<br>
<br>
(I don’t want to tag anyone uneccesarily, just tag me in your reply and I’ll start tagging everyone active in the situation afterward lol)</div>

</blockquote>"Ah yes it does seem, never the less a trade pact and a treaty would serve to both our benefits, it has long been the want of our people to take control of the river that so brings us life further south, perhaps with your help we can accomplish that in due time. If you would be willing to help us with that goal of taking the river known as the Mississipi from any heathans that would dare lay claim to it and place it firmly in the hands of the faithful. Then it would only be right to share its bounty with the true of faith would you not agree?" he asked as he looked back at the girl curious. "To a treaty and trade i say let the gates be opened, and no war be spread amoungst the faithful it is the blood of the heretic that must be spilt not ours my fair lady" he said offering a bit of fresh food from the gardens.<br>

Taking the food and lightly eating it, Chevalia nodded. "Of course. Then all that remains to be discussed is our lands. The rest can be discussed by our diplomats. As for a crusade up the Mississippi River, we would certainly allow it but would like to be very cautious. Just as it is the life blood of your empire, it is ours as well. The two rivers that flows through the Kingdom's lands flow to the Mississippi, in fact the City of Memphis, lies on it and watches a bridge that crosses into the land formerly known as Arkansas." Chevalia turned and waved once more to her flagbearers and men, where the far left column performed the same action as before, signifying themselves as Memphis. "We have also just concluded an expansion towards the Ohio River. We see no problem with raising your borders up north, but would very much like to keep Memphis and our route to the west safe, regardless of whether or not we are off the same faith." Chevalia let out a sigh. "This will certainly require several months of proper negotiations, so for the time being, we respectfully ask that no crusades be conducted up past where our two armies have met. We cannot turn our attention to people beyond our horizons until our neighbors have become civilized. The kingdom is certainly willing to open a crusade to the south, so I feel that we should first discuss the border between our nations east of the Mississippi."<br>

Taking the food and lightly eating it, Chevalia nodded. "Of course. Then all that remains to be discussed is our lands. The rest can be discussed by our diplomats. As for a crusade up the Mississippi River, we would certainly allow it but would like to be very cautious. Just as it is the life blood of your empire, it is ours as well. The two rivers that flows through the Kingdom's lands flow to the Mississippi, in fact the City of Memphis, lies on it and watches a bridge that crosses into the land formerly known as Arkansas." Chevalia turned and waved once more to her flagbearers and men, where the far left column performed the same action as before, signifying themselves as Memphis. "We have also just concluded an expansion towards the Ohio River. We see no problem with raising your borders up north, but would very much like to keep Memphis and our route to the west safe, regardless of whether or not we are off the same faith." Chevalia let out a sigh. "This will certainly require several months of proper negotiations, so for the time being, we respectfully ask that no crusades be conducted up past where our two armies have met. We cannot turn our attention to people beyond our horizons until our neighbors have become civilized. The kingdom is certainly willing to open a crusade to the south, so I feel that we should first discuss the border between our nations east of the Mississippi."<br>

</blockquote>"One cannot fight a war without first having his home established, time is always needed with a great undertaking and this would be one of the largest in quiet some time, do excuse my eagerness my lady, but when god chooses to allow for a miracle to walk into your home as you have it is seldom an occasion not to celebrate. As for your route to the west safe i assure you whatever you currently hold shall remain yours and should help need be defending it you need simply ask our aid. I simply hope you understand our need to control parts of the river to ensure the waters continue to flow properly." he said wanting to be sure he was being understood, without the river neither nation would stand so it was in both's best interest to hold it and keep the waters flowing for both's sake.

   The Vanatic baron peered through his visor at the land that proceeded his legion, properly titled the Red Banner. Artiom had sent him with a single order: to purify god's gift to them, and take back the lands lost to them to the infidels that plagued the once vibrant lands they where entitled to. The templars behind him held their fearsome pikes upon the shoulders of the shield-bearers ahead of him, the thunderous roar of their boots against the sun-bleached pavement echoing through the hills.<br>
   How Pochinko would relish this expedition, Artiom's order repeating in his head. Not a single heretic would be left standing, every heretical village would be razed, every prisoner executed. His return would be celebrated for weeks, the resources liberated by those cannibalistic bastards would feed the population of Vanatia for years, and with the disorganized tribals controlling them, those resources just ripe for the taking.<br>
   The legion entered a massive valley, heading toward the fertile valleys of the ancient city of Angeles. These filthy Polytheists must be shown the error of their ways.</div>

The southern expedition largely complete in their objectives returned home after being recalled, supplementing the largely inexperienced forces under his banner caught halfway through their training. In all, twenty thousand pikemen and twenty thousand halberdiers would face the enemy alongside the rangers and the knights, aided by twenty thousand newly-raised longbowmen who would either pelt their greatly outnumbered foe to death or exhaustion and the unmounted catapults and ballistae from the Columbian navy which would make their tightly packed ranks in hopes of making ineffective the arrows raining upon them a deadly folly.<br>
<br>
Vivian chose a flat plain for the site of the battle, twenty thousand pikemen and twenty thousand halberdiers in that order would directly face their aggressors, spreading their formations so that they may make full use of their numbers to envelop the aggressors. To both left and right of the closed ranks row after row of wooden stakes were driven in the ground to protect the split twenty thousand archers behind them guarded by the knights and rangers, who would fire upon their foe as soon as they became in range, and finally, in the elevated ground behind the lines would the concealed and unmounted ten ballistae and eleven catapults overlook the carnage, firing bolts and boulders alike into concentrations of the San Franciscan troops.</div>
