OOC: Well since all other scouts have returned and the Engortian ones have not, even though they were sent first, I would assume the worst considering who they were sent to.

by **Isolatonia** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 12:39 pm

'But you must stay!' exclamed Dominic. 'It is written in the third book that «Keepeth thou guest fore two nightes, lest he starveth». you may dine at the banquett tonight!'

(OOC) this was a time before Dominic was a conmplete maniac. he was a good tactician and a fair leader (but not to Titanists)

by **Stovilium** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 12:42 pm

"Erm.. alright then. Can you tell me about Templarism? I would love to know of it, also could you please send someone to Enogrita to inform my captain of what is happening, I am sure he will like to hear the news. That if is you want to sir."

by **Isolatonia** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 12:53 pm

'Of course! we will send a pidgeon immediately!' Dominic claped his hands. 'Basically, Templism is the worship of the seven divine templars, who are;
Templon. the Lord of Order and righteousness. leader of the divine Templars
Harzac. Lord of fire
Emparior. Lord of water. arch enemy and brother of Harzac.
Religater. Lady of the Earth.
Flusariac. Lord of the skies.
Garzantiac. Lord of the afterlife.
Zubartac. Lord of Chaos. shunned by Templon, though respected by followers, lest he come down on us in blazing wrath.'

Dave looks confused "And why do you hate Titanism?" he says. "Also, I din't mean to be rude but could you untie me from this chair please?"

by **Engortia** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 1:21 pm

The pigeon arrives safely and the message is read to Anserton.
"Attach this message to that flying rat, please send more men, Stovilium is a nation full of bast-rds, they insult us with their foreign language and ideals, do not trust them." Says Anserton, "If you want to be my ally Phaedrans ask of your leader to spare some men and help me quell these scum that plague the north. And as for you...Erm... What's-your-face, go to the other city state leaders, tell them the Northerners are attacking, and if they want to stay independent then they should help us protect our desert."

I ask again:

Delsola wrote:(OOC @Kassius By Engortia does it mean Jonno-Engortia or the other desert state?)

by **Delsola** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:01 pm

OOC: Also, the Lord Protector isn't a thing right now. Check my history, we are still an aristocratic monarchy until next century (in real history). That's why the leader in the RP has been the High Elect.

by **Isolatonia** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:04 pm

'It is written in the first book, our most venerated of holy texts that «The Titanists are a plague to the godde fearing peoples who followeth The righteouse cause of Templism»'. said Dominic.

(OOC) sorry Jack, dont know about Kassius and sorry for the factual error as well

by **Delsola** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:37 pm

The High Elect looks down at the messenger. He is silent for ten seconds, a look of deep concentration etched into his aged face.

(High Elect Endrit Kruzi)

"Ready the fleets. Rally the armies. Delsola never leaves an ally."

The court of elects organizes itself into a war cabinet.

"The Fodéch Legion shall move, from Hadra across the channel to (south Kassian city name), escorted by the Delsolan navy. 9,000 men, 5,000 cavalry and one thousand 'cannons', created of black powder using methods from the orient. The North Army will move from Gerhaal to Merhaal, and wait for the navy to pick it up and drop it further North, in (another name). Five thousand men shall remain in Titanusan, the Army of the Isles. Send runners to the generals, and make sure that the Holy Ruby Dúrku reaches the Fódech Legion. Alert all Lords that war taxes are now in effect. Throw all Isolatonians from the trade centre in Hadra. They shall know no mercy."

Delsolan Men at Arms, Equiped with Halberds.

Delsolan Longbowmen

Delsolan Cannon, Wheels Unattached (ignore the Austrian crest)

(And yes, Plato is the High Elect.)

by **Isolatonia** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:43 pm

The messenger ran into the room and presented Dominic with a scroll. The prince read it and his expression darkened.
'No Titanist is to leave Isolatonia. If Delsola wants war, they will have war. I want the army with the Engortian weapons ready to march in a week!'

by **Delsola** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:44 pm

OOC: So in the space of a week smiths from a fairly low populated area have constructed weapons for an entire army? How impressive.

by **Isolatonia** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:52 pm

(OOC) ah. that could be a problem

(IC) an advisor whispered to Dominic. the Prince then shouted 'move the weapons project to Vodeville and Isolatonia City! Send out two thirds of the army now. the Vodeville smiths are renowned for their skill, and there are many of them. the other third will be equipped with new weapons in a month. it would be better to avoid Kassius until the army is fully ready, but we cant let the Delsolans dig their heels in. Our seige engines are extremelly effective already anyway... that will be 11000 foot soldiers, 6000 cavalry, as many of the black powder weapons as we can muster and three seige towers. '

by **Fuurturr** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 3:19 pm

OOC: Everybody, we don't have guns, it's 1456.

by **Stovilium** » Fri Oct 12, 2012 3:58 pm

Some of Stovilium's armies amassed on it's borders, a total of 9,000 assorted troops stationed along the border and at key points, with many more on the reserve
"Maam, what is the plan?" One man says.
"Well we first need to negotiate with the other city states. It shouldn't be too hard. I doubt that they would side with the Engortian's seeing that they regularly attack them and they let our scout's through didn't they? We just need to offer them more than what the Engortian's will, which my guess is independence. For now we are going to wait on our borders until the final decision has been made."

"Is it just Enogortian's we are fighting?" another asks.
"Doubtful. would guess that they have some allies but until now we don't know much. We should be waiting for a messenger pigeon to reach them requesting them to inform us on the situation out there. Until then we are waiting for the winds to settle and to reduce their advantage over us in the dessert."
"And how many Engortians are there?" A third asks
"We don't know but we believe around a thousand in total. Minus the children and we should outnumber them, but do not get arrogant, they know their territory better than we do." This brings on grumbles. "But we have the brains don't we!" This acts as a great moral boost and the clattering of shields is heard."

Messengers have made their way across the oceans, explaining the situation and imploring aid for great benefits.

Meanwhile...

"You have a very complete religion sir, although it is not my place to comment on your religion. You should really meet my captain, he is very into religion and would love to know about it himself."
He notices a pigeon in the distance. "Is that the one you sent out?" He asks.

by **Kassius** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 1:15 am

"So the Engortian Anserton thinks he can rally the desert, not on my watch!
Deploy 8,000 Keshiks at Kantarn near the engortian border

25 Catapults will be placed alongside them

15,000 troops will also reach the border, but 17,000 will remain at Kashataar in reserve

Leave the Janissaries at Kashataar (capital)

However send a messenger pigeon, tell Anserton we will not intervene in his war with Stovilium, if he leaves Kassius and the southern city states alone. But these men will remain as a defensive against any strike, may as well catch some illegal hunters whilst we're there.

OOC: @Delsola, yes yellow means what Jonno has now, the others I will divide up further into the actual city states.

by **Isolatonia** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 3:43 am

Dominic read the message grimly.
'Tell Anserston that Kassius will have to wait. We are could send the rest of the third batallion, (the army mentioned previously), and the first, but it would be a long and costly siege and we can take the rest of the desert. Send all of the third into Engortia and keep a third of the second stationed in vodeville to pick up the weapons when ready.

Total number of troops when the rest of the second join the third

10000 templar soldiers

one captain for every 50 soldiers

5000 crossbowmen

5000 cavalry

500 knights

by **Engortia** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 3:56 am

A large gathering of many similar looking men stand in the Engortian Guildhouse, many accompanied by women.
"We need to unite to defeat these northerners, after this we can bring the desert together and afterwards we shall unite our Guilds and strike back against Kassius and other such scum."
The rest of the people in the room look at each other and talk a bit before all turning back to the full conversation, all of them draw their weapons and place them in the centre, as they stack over each other, a strong symbol of unity in the desert.
"Then it is settled, we shall come together and set our desert free from the infidels that threaten our very way of life."

by **Delsola** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 4:04 am

OOC: Elliot, how many soldiers do you think you have? Right now you're up to 48,000 and you apparently have another army or two

by **Isolatonia** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 4:05 am

(OOC) OK. Il knock some off my last post... though i do have a pretty big military, you are right. not that big.

Also, the third is the largest military body, with th esecong being half its size and mainly for general crushings of uprisings and the first is approximately the same size as the second, but not as well trained or equipped and generally police major cities

by **Isolatonia** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 11:09 am

two years go by...

Isolatonia has forced half of the Engortian desert into submission, but has not yet attacked Kassius.
Dave returned to Stovilium safely
James Vuldas passed away, leaving Dominic King.
After the last Envoy was chased out of Midrasia by angry knights, another has been sent to try and establish trade. Envoys have also been sent to P.I.

please state what has happened in the last two years for your nation.

by **Midrasia** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 11:28 am

OOC:That a godmod if ive ever seen one!

by **Isolatonia** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 12:04 pm

(OOC) ok. How much of the desert has been conquered? i cant really wait for the city states to respond, because there arent any. i have not attacked Kassius, if thats what you mean. read my old posts. i said i would avoid it for now.

If you mean the messenger being chased out, its not a major issue.

by **Stovilium** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 12:27 pm

Two years go by...

Stuff happens

by **Engortia** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 2:56 am

OOC: OKay you guys just dictate my history, my people, my government to me, you know what I just won't post and you guys can have your fun god emote fest? Would that make you guys happier? F-ck this entire thing if you constantly are gonna just go to me "Oh no, we dictate what happens to your country, not you, you must have forgot."
