EVEN DEEPER in to Korvax
As soldiers cleared away some thick brush, they stood in awe at a large city, made of stone. It was a glorious site, with all of the natives of the island bowing down before a pyriamd, a building that could be seen from miles around on a plain. However, in the jungles, it could not be seen as clearly.

Gheris of Heridos, seeing the natives, ordered for the soldiers to sheath their swords and to act peacefully. "Salut, Eingeborenen!" said Gheris, "Je suis Gheris von Heridos, un diplomate de la glorieuse Evrisdom de Ostyrlonia! Nous sommes venus ici à la recherche einer Zivilisation dans Aphermika, et nous avons trébuché sur vous. Où est votre chef?"

OOC: Translation: Hello, natives! I am Gheris of Heridos, a diplomat from the glorious Evrisdom of Ostyrlonia! We have come here in search of a civilization in Aphermika, and we have stumbled upon you. Where is your leader?

Korvax...

The citizens looked back at these newcomers. The natives looked like they had darker skin than normal, but due to years of integration with the previous people who came, they understood the language, well mostly, that these people spoke. No one responded really.

(OOC: What were you called again? Also, what language so I can use google translate?)

OOC: I'm using a combonation of French and German. It's mostly French, I just put in parts of German where it sounded better. Also, I'm Ostyrlonia

Korvax
Gheris looked down at the stunned crowd. He continued on. "So. Aucun de vous comprendre ce que je dis? Ich werde einfach présumer. Je suis un Ostyrlonian, hagelt aus Errynpa. Nous en sommes venus à la recherche d'une civilisation dans Aphermika, un tel que le vôtre. Nous recherchons pour le commerce et une alliance, si cela est possible."

OOC: Translation: So. None of you understand what I am saying? I will just assume so. I am an Ostyrlonian, hailing from Errynpa. We have come in search of a civilization in Aphermika, one such as yours. We are looking for trade and an alliance, if that is possible.

Heridos
Harold of Minium, the son of the Evris, entered the palace. "Father," he said as he approached the throne of the palace, "I have been living for a decent amount of time, 20 years now, and I have come to realize that once I die, there will be no sucessor to this great, holy throne of Ostyrlonia. What I am trying to say is that I am looking for a woman to marry"

Treim looked down at his son. "Boy," he said, "I will send a letter to the Imperrin of Rylonia. I believe he is related to a young, unmarried woman. I will send him a message and see if you two can marry"

[align=]Message from the Evrisdom of Ostyrlonia[/align]

Good day, lord

My son, Harold of Minium, heir to the Ostyrlonian throne, is in need of a wife to marry and continue the bloodline of the country. We have been searching for the right woman, and it has come to my attention that you are related to a young, unmarried woman. I would like to see it through that my son is married to that woman, in order for the bloodline of Ostyrlonia continue and for the bond between your great empire and the Evrisdom can grow. I hope that you make the right decision

~Evris Treim I

[Reatra]

Dear the Evris of Ostyrlonia,

This, I believe, is a marvelous idea! Maybe we will set the stage for a peaceful continent. I am related to an unmarried woman, I believe she is just of legal age, 18. She was raised under me and is very beautiful and intelligent. If you wish, your son may marry my niece, Rean Frain. For she has come to me with the same problem.

SIGNED,
Impirren Riley XXXI of the Impirrenal Empire of Rylonia

To the Imperrin of Rylonia

Great! I will let my son know at once that a wedding will be held soon. However, I must ask for the wedding to take place in Rylonia, due to the attacks on the city by the Ardovicians. Perhaps it could even be held in your capital, far from any harm that could come from the continent? What do you say?

Rylonian Politics Chapter I:

Oh My God, we're gonna have a WEDDING!!!!

Dear the Evris of Ostyrlonia

I am sure a massive celebration could be held in the capital, as it is one of the biggest cities in the world. I will tell of this great news and plan a wedding! We await your arrival on the 23rd.

Ostyrlonian-Rylonian Relations | Chapter 1
Get the Wine, We're Having a Wedding!

Heridos
Another message had arrived from the Imperrin of Rylonia. From what he had read, the wedding would take place within the next few days. "Son!" cried out the Evris, "Pack your luggage, we are headed for Rylonia! You will be marrying the Imperrin's niece"

Soon enough, the two had their luggage packed and were headed off for the Capital of Rylonia in the hopes that the wedding would increase the bond between the two nations

[Alleniana]

As the comet had caused the ceasefire, the troops were now pulling back. All the men were returning to where they were stationed, but on full alert, and ready to fight at any moment. It was in many ways a cold war. Indeed, spies were going ahead... One merchant, laden with barrels on several carts, was moving slowly to Ostyrlonia's capital of Heridos. He spoke Ostyrlonian, taught to him by POWs, and he also didn't look too out of place, so he was chosen, and his trip began.

Meanwhile, a new monarch had been crowned, after the last one had died. There was great mourning, but also various other developments. The printing press, which had come into limited use many centuries ago, was now booming into popular society. The literacy rate was at an all time high, and this slightly improved press, still with no movable type though, aided it.

Other aspects of culture were doing very well too. Music was becoming more and more standard, as the national anthem, as well as a new people's chant and the Odessan national anthem, were all examples of a pinnacle of composing in the nation, as were many new instruments including a wooden box with holes on each face and covered in strings stretched across the holes, a design of drum becoming the norm, and a large table-like instrument that was blown into, and then buttons on it pressed to make different tones. Added to this was a slowly developing primitive system of notation, based on dots which were placed onto lines.

It was felt that Ardovicia was becoming isolated and friendless in the world; Arabia, Rylonia, Ostyrlonia and Elmet all thinly veiled enemies, and only Canaan and the very small state of Odessa its friends. Therefore, it was decided that explorers would be sent to explore the entire Mediterranean, as well as the west coast of Africa, and up north as far possible, with a western boundary of Greenland. The Baltic was to be explored as well.

Meanwhile, the camp near Bakarus recorded the going ons, and decided to send diplomats in to try and establish a formal relationship.

The life of the old emperor was brought to a sudden and tragic end, bringing his dreams of pacific conquest to a stop. A new emperor was crowned, Otahu I. Originated from a background of aristocracy he searched for a way to modernise the art and culture of the empire. This was funded by the discovery of a gold mine in central Otago (OOC: yes its real, I checked) new wealth flooded into the Rawhitiroa. The emperor commissioned many public works projects, including one dedicated to Grand Chief Selwyn's unification of New Zealand. The imperial government also funded a college of fine arts, traditional carvings were produced in new ways, as well as new styles of art being developed. Several new forms of wind and stringed instruments were created, they provided a great background to the traditional styles of song. One of the new buildings produced was a library to collect the histories and literature of the empire in one place, scribes were also hired and funded by the government.

The Madjayi Confederation: AD 1200-1250

AD 1204: Water powered draining engines for mines is invented in Madjayi. Mining output nearly doubles within 20 years and occurs across most metals mined in Madjayi which include, iron, copper, nickel, gold, silver and tin.
AD 1210: The use of the Blast Furnace, discovered by Madjayi traders coming in from Mosuo, improves the smelting of different metals into industrial products. Its use was most helpful in the improvement of iron throughout the Confederation, turning it into cast iron and even into steel.
AD 1216: Lakan Maynila Layikalawa dies at the age of 82 after 55 years as Lakan (1162-1216); the Maidh elects Magat Matatag of the Kapampangans who takes the name, Lakan Pampanga Matatag or Patatag.
AD 1217: Lakan Patatag declares an all-out war against the Iban peoples of Kalawjayi (Sarawak) in what is later known as the "Iban War".
AD 1221: Discovery of the use of fireworks and gunpowder as a military weapon by a Madjayi firework-maker and sailor. It is used extensively by the navy in the Iban War to bombard targets on the shoreline. It is called locally as the Sabog-Sibat or Exploding Spear and had similarities with the fire lance but as a much cruder version.
AD 1227: The end of the "Iban War". Kalawjayi (Sarawak) becomes a territory of the Madjayi Confederation.
AD 1239: The use of bituminous coal as a fuel coke for smelting saves millions of acres of trees in Madjayi. The use of this coal was first discovered by Madjayi traders in Mosuo and Nakumura and brought to Madjayi on this year.
AD 1244: A better version of the Sabog-Sibat is created. It now includes a kind of tri-pod to help stabilize the spear and therefore increases accuracy and range. However, it is still very inaccurate with a 30% chance of hitting a designated target within 100 meters.
AD 1250: Census of 1250 (the first known census in Madjayi); Population of Madjayi hits 1.5 million, double of the approximate figures in 1191.

~Evris Treim I

One of the Elders stepped forward, examing them. They seemed to have simply super-tan skin, rather than super dark like normal humans living in the area.
"Nous savons ce que vous êtes et qui vous êtes. Nos ancêtres, les Korvaxans ancienne, et vos ancêtres, la Ostyrlonia antique. Nous vous accueillons dans notre île wonderous. Votre culture et notre culture mixte, à certains égards.", the Elder said.

OOCTranslation:
We know what you are and who you are. Our ancestors, the Ancient Korvaxans, and your ancestors, the Ancient Ostyrlonia. We welcome you to our wonderous island. Your culture and our culture has mixed, in some ways.

Gheris was surprised that people, whom he considered heathens, would be able to understand Ostyrr in detail. "Ah, si nous avons rencontré avant, à un degré? Bon, au moins la Kommunikation wird hier kein Problem sein. Bist du der Leader hier?"

OOC: Translation: Ah, so we have met before, to a degree? Good, at least communication will not be a problem here. Are you the leader here?

Rylonian Countryside
Inside of a carriage of sorts, the Evris and his son, surrounded by Royal Guards, were headed through the mountains to reach Rynatoo for the wedding. The path they were taking was slow, but it was safer, as the guards could absolutely protect the Evris and his son as opposed to a path on the plains, which could leave the Evris exposed to an archer.

Never-the-less, the convoy was at a decent pace and would be in Rynatoo in the next day or two.

"C'est notre roi, notre glorieux chef.", he said. The King looked displeased.

Gheris nodded at the Elder. "Danke," he said before he looked up at the king and said, "Oh roi, wir wünschen Ostyrlonians souhaitent créer une route commerciale entre nos deux empires, pour le bénéfice de votre nation et pour la nôtre. Nous tenons également à en savoir plus sur cette région, comme nous le savons peu de choses sur Aphermika sud de la mer Myserrin. Que dites-vous, akzeptieren Sie diesen Handel anbieten?"

The King walked down the pyramid until he was infront of the visitors.

"Nous n'avons pas l'esprit dagegen feiern, mein Herr" replied Gherris. He told his soldiers to keep their weapons sheathed and to bring some wine from the ships. After all, if they were going to celebrate with the natives, they may aswell try to make a good impression.

To the Illustrious King of the Land to the West of the Pulujayi Sea (OOC: This is the Empire of Nakumura which means you, Ambibia!)

Peace be upon you!

I, the Lakan of the Madjayi Confederation located on the islands of Pulujayi (the Philippines) directly to the east, have heard stories of your great land from some of my explorers and traders. We have become very intrigued with your land and your people and because of this curiosity we would like to know you, your people and your land much more. With this, I, as the representative of the Madjayi Confederation, would like to begin diplomatic and trading relations with your nation. It would be of great and mutual benefit to both our nations if we begin our relationship cordially and so we hope that you would accept this request. We are confident that this would be the beginning of a long and beneficial relationship between our two great nations.

Emperor Hung received the message from his courier as he reached with his old, wrinkling hands. He knew his time on the earth was short, but he did not mind it. He knew he woud be remembered for the foundations he made to his empire. He tore open the letter and read it aloud to himself and his chambers. He then hopped off his throne and went to his scribe to record his reply.

To the representative of the Madjayi Confederation,

For years our people have remained as an illustrious and isolated nation. We have craved the attention of nations around us while none have seemed to take interest. Being a land that is seemingly kind and curious, I have agreed to accept your offer. I would like to invite you to the royal palace in Phonm-Phenm, to discuss diplomatic relations while we shall start a trade route between what you call, " Pulujayi Sea"

Best regards,

[Empire of Symphonia]

The Diet of Redantia,
southern Rhutor, Genevira

"With a vote of 367 in favor and 21 opposing, this Assembly agrees to establish a new agency to deal with matters of reconquest and colonization."

There was cheering from most of the nobility, with some grim faces from others. The Holy Emperor of Genevira smiled wryly, knowing that the future Assembly would be most likely changed by this vote. Submitted by petition by a large list of the Empire's lesser nobility, the new law had allowed for state sponsorship of colonization programs, designed to lessen the population pressure of the Genevir homeland while opening up new lands and resources to the empire. The nobility had wanted in on this project as well, hoping to create new fiefs, estates, and more titles to increase their fame prestige. Established members of the upper crust of the aristocracy had opposed this, seeing their status would be threatened by a wave of more nobles and land acquisitions. However, most chose to support the law in the hopes of increasing their holdings as well.

For the people of the empire, it presented a way to own land and be wealthy. Land speculators, bankers, merchants, and the city poor all wanted a slice of the pie, and already the signs of "Go WEST!" and "To the SEA!" were filling up the bulletins of the major cities.

But where to go?

The closest and easiest would be to cross into the great sea of grasses west of the great Hynlikna River (IRL Mississippi River), at a narrow pass between two of Genevira's neighbors. Another quest called for a great fleet to sail south along the coast of the Myslanka continent, where merchant rumors of great riches, exotic spices, held the public captive.

Already, 150,000 colonists had signed up and were making their way west across the Myslankan continent, and 75,000 were willing to sail across the sea to explore new lands and colonize them. The great Genevir fleet, consisting of over 100 haigrae ships, had been seen sailing off over the horizon of the sea.

▓▫The Queendom of Mosuo▫▓

摩梭

A city that is rather prosperous (Tashkent)
After miles of traveling from a small settlement that was called "Kashgar", they had atlast reached a rather large and glorious city. Some call it the City of Golden Pathways, others call it "A part of a Kingdom that had a greater city beyond it". Indeed, this nice, interesting foreign city. Perhaps one day, the Queen should come and visit it, and possibly bring back some husbands (or wives if she prefers). But they know for now, they are here to sell goods. One who was writing the map across, was a cartographer who was possibly one of the best around in Qingxi took a look at the impressive architecture. "Indeed, such a bold, beautiful city." he said. The locals seem to had spoke a strange language they had never heard of (Pre-Russian Uzbek), and seen that the people looked extremely different. They were the only ones in the city who had more different facial features. However, their journey to the west continues.

Suoxing
The Natives of Suoxing had apparently settled down with some of the colonists of Tishkashu after conquest, adopting Matriarchal customs,some to interbreed with them. However, their war against certain natives continued as they pushed further south into the lands. Slaves were taken into war to fight for their freedom and some stayed to work for their freedom. Although, Slaves in Mosuo apparently were different. Instead of what some people use it for, Slaves start out as the bottom of the root, fed meager meals and payed little to none, but if they keep showing great work, they can eventually build up and become citizens and break free from their masters. Some can grow even more powerful, and become a former master's boss and have them serve the slave as their new master. It was similar to how the Africans did this, and was adopted by the native Suoxingian tribe, the T'skqu's.

Mosuo Mainland
Mosuo was beginning construction on a Tumulus by order of Queen Xing Loufang to prepare herself for the afterlife. Even though the Queen was only in her 40s, she knew that her time is soon to come, and wanted to execute her final plans. It was thanks to her rule that the Mosuo had begun to prosper, and it was her that the Mosuoites had grown into an extremely powerful matriarchal society. By training even more troops, Mosuo had begun to grow troops to about 32,131 active. A growing nation of it's own, Mosuo will soon blossom into a Golden Age as soon as trade is successful by contacting the West. Although, outside of the richer areas, some of the rural villages are suffering from bubonic plague and it spread into some of the trader's boxes on ships. The people of Mosuo might have company very soon if something isn't done.

However, Mosuo had discovered many things over Xing Loufang's reign. By using (and inventing their own) Gunpowder for the first time in combat as a combat fire lance, Gunpowder had begun to be used in several other things such as dynamite, which was used to explode rocks on the inside. Even though, it's at it's early development stages. Matriarchy had became so popular, an new Ideology had came out, titled, Muxì Fa (Matriarchal Law) which is the opposite of what Patriarchal Law does. Even though Xing Loufang was about equality, she had noticed she had accidentally delivered the wrong message to the female population, and had kind of warped their heads into thinking they are the superior gender, and knows all hell might break loose with the male Mosuoites soon.

▓▫The Most Serene Republic of Odessa▫▓

Odessa
Dmytro Litovchenko was elected as the new Kynaz of Odessa and after taking office, took more steps to improve with the world around him, mostly with the Ardoviciaians, and wishes Odessa to be more open as a microstate around it's area. The Odessans themselves had been improving, even though it had a few floods here and there, the Odessans had continued to improve on science and technology, inventing easier forms of irrigation and more easier ways to grow Wheat. Odessa had also sent invites to local cities that were outside of it's border to join into the Serene Republic by it's own will. Dmytro had also sent a letter to Bakarus.

Most esteemed king of Bakarus,
I am Dmytro Litovchenko, the Kynaz of Odessa. I was recently elected about a few weeks ago by the nobles after the old Kynaz died of natural causes, and wish to ask, if you are interested in seeking a possible military alliance? The day might come that some nations will threaten to destroy our land, even though we are a peaceful one. We will offer Wheat, Fish from the Black Sea, and some Perfume in exchange for some of your exotic goods.

We look forward to your reply.
Signed, Dmytro Litovchenko of Odessa.

Off the coast of Kitiwhaira (New Guinea)

A fleet of strange ships had landed on the coast of the Rawhitiroan colonies on the isle of Kitiwhaira. A detatchment of the local garrison went down to greet these strange dark skinned men. Without warning they charged forward towards the line of Rawhitiroan troops and attacked with fishing spears and crude swords. The garrison was overwhelmed by shear numbers and was forced into a rout. The pirates then tore around the country side, ravaging villages, before hopping bak into their boats and departing. This strange behaviour outraged the emperors honorable upbringing. "How dare they attak innocent villagers, we will destroy their lands and burn their cities to the ground" he stormed after arriving to survey the scene. In the end the attacks were traced back to pirate natives on the north coast of Ngapohuiui (Australia.) An invasion force was prepared, the time had come for the new emperor to test his skills as a commander.

The appearance of Korean pirates did made the security in Korea down a bit. They tried to freed Korea from the grip of the shogunate, to a limited success. Shogunate ships had been dispatched to attacked the pirates.
The establishment of the use of fire bomb as mining techniques just started and the construction of the Shogunate castle in Hokkaido was finished.

20 ships were sent to the direction of Mosuo, to try to find new areas and empires for allies and trading. With the foundation of a strong army and navy, the future doesn't seems to be in a bad state.

[Horusland]

The Kingdom of Dacia was undergoing an uneventful age. Each leader came after the next, taking the throne and keeping the country stable, but not adding anything significant to its history. Dacia kept the same borders, had about the same population, the same technology. It was as if Dacia was stopped in time. A lost land, never encountered by any.

The capital of Sarmisegetuza Regia was almost a ruin. A walled city with temples that looked like they were falling down on the endless crowds of people hurrying to get somewhere through the narrow roads. The rich had houses which tried to show their beauty, but on the inside, they were hollow. And the poor families outnumbered the rich, with a giant gap in between.

People were also afraid. New was arriving from both the west and the east of wars that could threaten Dacia. A power-hungry Empire was at war with the western tribes of Illyria.
And that was when Decebal took over the nation. While he was only 17, he displayed skill in diplomacy, convincing the leaders of various tribes of Dacia to recreate the tribal council. He worked on changing the country's industry from only agriculture to mining and trading. Soon, ships were being built on Pontus Euxinus. Dacia was ready for a new age.

[Gold state]

The lands of the Mouhdian republic spread far across Arabia, but they needed more. The Ke'sh began to recruit 15,000 men for the conquest of the Western Arabian lands, which controlled the fertile Red Sea regions. This would boost the economy because of the roads that needed to be built in the newly conquered lands to transport soldiers and cavalry.



OOC:The nation is now known as the Mouhdian republic.

Heridos
As the Ardovician soldiers marched away from the capital, a lone trader came to the gates of the city. A guard walked up to the man, who was carrying several barrels of an unknown substance. "Identification, please," said the guard. He was not about to ask again.

---

Meanwhile, inside of Heridos
A diplomat, commanded by the interim Evris whilst Treim was in Rylonia, prepared to ride out to the East, where a great nation stood. It was an old one, started around the same time as Ostyrlonia, and has been untouched by time. The diplomat was told to try to make allies with the nation, which they thought was called 'Dacia' or something like that.

The diplomat hopped on top of a horse and headed east, hoping to find the Dacians.

[Ralnis]

The Bearcalnatte of Shacklefold
The mighty empire now stood around 1.6 million and has a mighty army of 120,000 that they have boastered and are at rest for the time being. Major improvements were being spread all across Shacklefold as new fire bombs are being implemented and economy is massively improving as roads now connect the empire and cities are buliding everywhere and the navy of the Ubshugard now stands at a total of 70 warships and they now are armed with greek fire and balistas. The Yuotib ships were much larger in order to be armed with more weapons but a new smaller version that was based upon watching the Situkuk ships had given them the Theyir(sloop, junkship, sea raider) to carry a smaller version of the batsila and have a greek fire shooter in the front. They were versitike and meant for speed and are implemented as warships and merchant ships for Shacklefold. There was new technologies avaiable for mining safer and to get more efficent quality of metal for their industry and also for their warriors.

In the capital, after the proposal for the Bearcalatte to demand a yearly tribute from the Southern Empire failed, the alliance was still their, but now the tensions between the two empires were getting high and the Bear and Cattle Lords have decided that it is time to start their new biggest goal. To become the first of their kind to pour into Misirok(pretty much known as Asia or Lower Lands) and make their glory shine throughout the know world that the Orgulf of the West and the Sitikuk of the East will know the name of Shacklefold.

An assassian was sent to kill the Emperor of the Southern Empire to spark the war. It failed but the day after, the Bearcalnatte declared war on the Southern Empire and started their invasion into the North into Mongoi(Mongolia) and thus statrting the Misirok Campaign.
