The village of Rynatoo was a thriving fishing and farming town, 1100 people worked in it's borders. But there was a considerable lack of resources, food was plentiful, but lumber was scarce. So the Impirren ordered souped-up fishing boats to head South and look for wood to chop down.

---

After three days the boats came back with large straight trees on their backs. And the fires were plentiful that month.

The small town of Mirk was a thriving town. owning the pass ways between Europe,and Asia. The thriving city state had just catched 300 fish,fish to feed the entire population. However,the alage digging had thrived,and 7 kilograms of it had been found,enough to feed the population 17 times with 3 meals a day. the delivery people marched across the city,delivering fish,lamb,chicken,alagea,you name it. It was another beutifaul day for this grand city.

[Brookdell]

"Omanak, Omanak, Omanak..." It was the daily prayer. The entire village was absorbed into worshiping the Watcher by repeating this one word. Mazkan was leading on a raised stone in front of the large crowd. He was waving his scepter, which was really a stick with a jewel connected to the end. The energy that was collecting was almost tangible. It would hopefully please the watcher and bring a good harvest of wheat. There were rumors, however, of an impending famine. An older man supposedly had a dream that the civilization would be wiped out, but the High Priest put the rumors to a stop. He also decided to spend more time giving his own energy to the Watcher. It would hopefully be enough.

Aodhagan was not the man his father had been. his father had been a man of no intentions, slow ideas, and the status quo. Aodhagan wanted action. He was a young man seeking adventure, and he refused to have his potential capped off by the other slow-minded families. He was determined to break tradition if need be, and in his mind, the end justifies the means.

For now, however, he had to deal with the dozens of frustrated farmers that complained that there was no longer enough land to raise their cattle or crops. Each time he said, "Then go further away from the city!" and each time they replied "But what is out there?"

There was no answer for that. Aodhagan himself didn't know.

The Rynatooans kept exploring south, there the met many more villages, Etruscans were by farthe most powerful. They taught the Rynatooans how to build better fishing boats to handle bigger loads, to the point where they were no longer for fishing, but for voyages. After learning head tehniques the Impirren ordered that ten "botani" boats be built, they used new sails, which were discovered by a fisherman who tired of rowing and tied a blanket to the mast of his canoe. After the boats were built, they sailed towards the sunset, and found an island bigger than most ever seen! The explorers, giddy with excitement over their discovery, roughly mapped the area on a soft clay tablet with a piece of a twig. This was the first time a Rynatooan had ever drawn something meaningful on a tablet. Before pottery just had pretty pictures of women and huts, but now picture meant something. After a year everyone was doing it, and the Impirren decided on a symbol for anything someone in the village could need. "Ox" was an oval with a crescent at the top to look like horns, bird was similar to a bird in that it was an oval with a circle on top and triangles and lines to act like beaks and legs respectively.

And with this they kept going South. Meeting more peoples and discovering new, if useless, technologies.

[The Vekta-Helghast Empire]

The Helvanthians had now explored all of Alba, and were content in the knowledge that there was little to fear in their imminent area, they were on good terms with the other tribes, as the Helvanthians were the major suppliers of white-fish in Alba, making them vital to their neighbors who had now gained a taste for salmon and prawns. Helvanthium was also home to the largest naval force in Alba, meaning that anyone in the region who wished to do over-seas trade would need to do it through them, that is, if they wanted to be sure of their cargo's arrival. The Helvanthians were now entering their golden age, the population was booming due to mass migration from the in-land tribes and the economy followed suit, as when the people came, they brought all their possessions, their gold, their silver, whatever they owned, meaning that Helvanthium could only be better off from such immigration. With this boom, the High-Chief Hayden decided that the people required a symbol to rally around, he selected the noble lion, as a symbol of the people's strength and resilience, standing proudly in front of a blue cross, which represented the center point that is Helvanthium, where tribes from all corners of Alba come together and the oceans it lay beside.



This symbol was to be painted upon all goods produced within Helvanthium, or at least carved into them, it would allow those who wished to do deals with the Helvanthians to know the goods they were receiving were legitimate, and created within the village and it's surrounding area.

[Timothia]

It took very little time for Aodhagan to realize what must be done: his city was too large for it's environment. The villagers had begun carving into the cliffside to make their houses, and many other people lived in boat homes. So, he decided, they must push out into the countryside. he had to send his bravest out into the wilderness to make room for future growth. Led by the head of the family of Caspescii, a mass exodus began to leave Guallia. The Caspescii set to the seas, finding an island that they felt was fit to call their home. They remained closely connected to their motherland, but felt that they owed them no favors. The tiny village of Caspesciia grew slowly: there was plenty of room on the island, but the population didn't grow as quickly as expected. Meanwhile, Guallia's population began to skyrocket thanks to the efforts of the Forenii. No longer afraid of the outside world, the Forenii had gone out and discovered how certain plants and fungi acted as medicine. This promised to be good news for Guallia. Good news indeed.

[Ardenburg]

Bhunkrana was quite the secluded community. The surrounding tribes were considerably less advanced - to the point of being nomadic. That posed a bit of a problem, but the town's soldiers were usually much more well equipped than the 'savages'. The Bhunkrana people had never encountered another settlement of their type, so there was no trade to be done. Their food all come from the river, the forest floors or the farms that surrounded the village.

This was about to change however. With the coming of power of the new Rí, Concobar. A man in his prime at 19. He faced off three other competitors when the last Rí died, and defeated all in a ferocious battle. Now as a respected Chief, he had commanded for farmers to clear forests near their lands for more space. Hunters and gatherers were dispatched to scour the forests for anything and everything that they could kill and collect. Boats were commissioned to traverse up and down river and along the coast to catch as much fish as possible. Soldier groups were sent into nomad camps around the area, stealing livestock, valuables and slaves. Bhunkrana would grow, Concobar was seeing to that.

[Reatra]

Rynatoo was growing. Immigrants from neighboring tribes and villages moved in, and excess food from bigger fishing boats and better tools were encouraging larger family sizes and brought the population to 1450 people. By now explorers had found that their continent ended far to the south, and what did they do? Followed the land! They turned around the Italian peninsula to find that there were many small islands that littered the sea. Longer and longer journeys found that Italia was in fact a peninsula! A very big one at that. The island that was found years ago and mapped was becoming more and more known. A small outpost of 100 men, women, and warriors was set up on its closest shore. The Impirren still controlled the people there, but with much less control. Every eleven days a ship was sent to Rynatoo with news and the Impirren would send back orders if they were needed.

Excess fish and food were traded with inland villages for better and better river stones to use as tools. There weren't many rivers near Rynatoo, only one that had hard granite from the mountains. So for a long time planting decks and fire-hardened spears were used, but now harder stone tools meant that fields could more efficiently be planted and stone shovels were used to terrace hills around the village. Also stone spears and axes, which were rare before, allowed for a true warrior class to spring up. True barracks were built, a palisaded field with a connected building with bunks where warriors were trained. Meaning nearby barbarians were easily destroyed and their goods stolen. Also, ancient bows and arrows were never invented in Rynatoo, but meeting foreign archers who gladly taught how to build and work bows gave Rynatooans a way to defend against raids by tribes to the north.

Some hills were mined away by dozens of determined diggers armed with granite picks and and shovels. Then the raw stone was transported back to the village on sleds along rough dirt paths. These stones were then shaped by artisans with a wooded mallet and chisel. These stone blocks were used to build houses and towers on nearby hills. These towers meant that barbarians and wild animals rarely invaded the village. The village had grown enough that a currency system was introduced. Special shells, only found in waters to the south were marked with the symbol of the Impirren. These were used to buy and sell food, housing and whatever else could be needed in daily life.

Writing in pictographs was really taking off. Everyone was "forced" to learn the pictographs. The symbols were evolving to mean new things! They now were starting to symbolize words in Rynatooan instead of objects. While much more convenient, it also meant that someone had to learn the written language to understand. Before, an ox symbol could easily be guessed to be an ox or bull, same with boat, or bird. But if they didn't fully mean what they pictured, or meant even more, then a foreigner may learn the language before learning the written one. It was a hassle, but worth it as scribes and even normal fishermen and artisans cold easily save their records. Improving the economy of the town and attracting more and more immigrants.

[Al-Ahkri]

In the early morning of the first day of the Harvest Season, the son of the chief was born. He was named Otar Septim, and next in line to be chief. He was brought to the Temple of Talos (at this point in time, a bunch of standing stones circling a freshwater spring) and shown all 400 people of Sovngarde. However, Otar was not the newest edition to Sovngarde, other, weaker tribes had been destroyed. The people who didn't fight were brought to town and allowed to live as long as they worked. By 5953, the population had hit over 500. Carrying sharpened sticks and hunks of rock, the Sovngarde army now numbered 52. Marching and conquering northward, the Army of Sovngarde expanded their control to a 2x 1 mile area. However, all good things must come to an end, and they were defeated by an unnamed tribe at the Battle of the Kjar River. But, in light of their defeat, the unnamed tribe offered a trade deal; they would trade fish in return for deer and granite. The deal was accepted, and the people prospered. Tragedy struck in 5951, when Tiber Septim I died suddenly of what was called "Bruniik Dinok", or Savage Death (Lung Cancer), so the now 29 year old Otar I was named Cheif of Sovngarde.

5962- chunks of a quartz and granite are discovered a mile south of Sovngarde
5961- Harvest fields are now twice as large as the ones in 5990. Territory expands to a 2x1 mile area.
5960- Sovngardic army defeated at Kjar river, trade deal established. Population hits 562.
5955- Military splits into two groups, one solely hunting, the other conquering. M: 20 people, H:40
5951- Tiber Septim I dies, Otar Septim I inherits the Cheifdom.
5950- Son of the Chief, Raghot I is born. The Temples of the Nine Divines are rebuilt after barbarians destroy them.

Rentuk Rebellion Battle Story:
The air was tense, bodies shivering as they ran through the paths. Everyone knew something was going to happen, and were hiding in their little apartments or houses, depending on their class. However, a small group of cloaked bodies, numbering 10, were rushing through the rain towards an 8 ft x 8 ft house nestled in the crook of a mountain at the outskirts of Trinim. The leader of them clutched a large, four foot leather-cloth package in their arms. One of them knocked on the door, and a cloaked man motioned them in quickly, then closed the door and slid the latch.

"Germtuuk(G-erm-took), come on out! We know you're in there!" A man in cloth clothes and a long, stone-bladed spear threw a rock at the entrance to the amethyst-slate royal building. The three guards, in leather garments and pure-stone spears grew uneasy of the hundred-something rebels in front of them. Eventually, their fears were realized. The mass of people rushed forward. The three guards barely wounded anyone as the mass trampled them down and crushed the entrance. The guards inside, 45 in all, lowered their spears and shouted, charging forward to the rebels. Their brave charge did little then slow them down enough for archers to fire from the top, killing some of the rebels. However, they responded with slings throwing rocks at them, killing half directly and causing the balcony to fall down. The rebels broke down the ceremonial curtain...
And found themselves charging into a firestorm.

The way back soon exploded with flames, and the exit the Trinimite king used was long collapsed. However, they were eventually able to break through the thin walls and charged, a new number of 76, into the farmlands. 30 archers and 40 spearmen awaited them. The charge was repelled, and the natives were pushed back into a battle in the firey throne room. The fight, combined with archer fire, soon turned the tide against the rebels, and the 30 survivint rebels escaped out through the side and flanked the archers, killing them all. They used ten of them as archers, and arrows thuded inro the confused troops, and the 17 survivors surrendered. However, 118 troops held the pathways half a mile down, and so the battle ended with the city splitting.

Losses
Rebels-70
Troops: 118

Survivors
Rebels-30
Troops-17

Effects
Trinim loses ½ mile.
Rentuk gains rebel territory.
Rebel land later forms into Tinim.

The Mirkans have worked on a very big dam called Dam of Mirka. It took 3 days to build it but now the city stands low among it's natural line of defence. the Grand Prince Mirka decided to set an archer outpost on each of these dams,for even more defence

effects-

Mirkan defence increases heavily
Mirkan unit movements slow down by 7.7%
The Mirkan army reaches 90 soldiers. These are also ship builders and hunters so they naturally gain 10 ridik (mirkan currency (rocks))

Leaving his hut, Otar I saw only prosperity. His people were happy, well-fed, and most importantly, safe. He had not accomplished as much as he had hoped in his first year as Cheif of Sovngarde, but he hadn't failed his people either. He watched as a group of hunters brought in several deer, it was then cooked, carved, and served to the town according to their needs. But something else caught Otar's eye. A wolf, or more specifically, a lynx cub was brought into town. One of the hunters had thought it was cute and brought it home with him. Over the next several months, the cub grew and grew. Eventually, its owner, Krag, taught it to sit, and wait. When the lynx, named Gur, was 3, Krag was killed by a bear on a hunting trip. When others tried to take care of the wolf, it attacked. It was thought a danger to Sovngarde and killed. Scared of what might happen if they try again, no other animals were brought into the village for at least 30 years. By 5932, the population of Sovngarde had hit 1,103, making it the largest village for miles around. With so many new people, almost every thing grew too; the military grew to 50 people, hunting parties grew to 10 each, for a total of 100 hunters, and farming had grown larger. Fields were twice as large as they were 50 years ago, and thrice as many people tend to them. A good 35% of Sovngardic diet was now plant based. In 5927, a hunter named Gorog had created a thinner spear with a granite tip made for throwing, and thus, the first projectile weapon in Sovngardic history was born. In 5910, a young man (15) had heard of what Krag had done 30 years ago and decided to give it another go. Bringing home a lynx cub(kitten?) he fed it breast milk from his mother, and fed it with deer brought back by hunters. He also tried to teach it things and make it useful to the village as a whole. He taught how Kruziik to sit, wait, and most importantly, fetch. In just 5 years the lynx could catch, kill, and bring back rabbits/squirrels to the village, and was seen generally as a benefit to Sovngarde, with Otar I naming Kruziik a member of the tribe in 5904.

[Al-Ahkri]

Otar I woke up screaming and sweating. He had never had a dream like this one before, no, this was unique. He had seen himself, dying violently, but not on any battlefield. He was surrounded by ghosts, of his friends, of his enemies, of his father, and they were chanting something...Aus Bormah Bah, suffer your fathers wrath. Looking for answers, he walked to the Temple of Talos (standing stones arranged in a circle around a freshwater spring),
"Tell me Felldir, what does it mean?" He asked, clearly scared by the bad omen. Priest Felldir was shocked, "I...I don't know...aus Bormah bah, what an odd thing to say, and to incur the wrath of such a noble man. Truly, I am at a loss for words.", "I remember how he died, Bruniik Dinok (lung cancer) he died horribly. Violently coughing for days, he coughed up his very soul. His geinmaar, he himself was destroyed...Am I to suffer the same fate?" Said Otar, shaken by his dream, and his memories. "What gods have forsaken me now?", he walked off, back to his hut. He didnt sleep for the rest of the night. Later that week, he died of Hevno Dinok (heart attack). He was said to have looked like he had seen a ghost...

Rynatoo's influence nearly controlled its small part of Northern Italia. Thanks to terracing hills for occupation and farming, and it's buoyant economy, it's population has nearly doubled in the last fifty years. 2200 men and women populated the town in mud brick buildings. Thanks to the Impirren's fantastic policies and laws, artisans, craftsmen, and laborers from all over the town and its surrounding small villages expanded his palace. With beautiful arches and pillars, and quality stone and marble the new palace was half mansion and half fortress. The central building towered over the test of the town. And the people loved it.

While these civil projects were happening, another big thing was going on. A large hunter-warrior army of 200 was trained. While it was an investment, the end result eventually made Rynatoo a military power in the region. The army smashed nearby barbarian encampments. After three years of barbarian hunting, half the army boarded the large ships in the small harbor built so many years ago. They sailed to the outpost in Corisa. There they reinforced the village and hunted barbarian camps there. The brutes would be no more.

The Army of Sovngarde stopped heading east in 5933, and started expanding west. Armed with throwing spears, clubs, and swords, they annihilated a weaker tribe at the Battle of Vulon, killing almost everyone. The remaining villagers were allowed to live on the premise of being part of what was becoming the Sovngardic Empire. The actual village itself, Sahsunaar, was rebuilt by the villagers and added to the empire. Sahsunaar was quite small, only 1/2x1 mile but it had massive crop fields 2x1/2 miles worked constantly from the first day of planting till harvest season months later. By 5926, men from Sahsunaar joined the Sovngardic Army conquering its way westward.
