The Land of Minsele(and the surrounding isles)-- -Please do not change any of the following without my permission, if I did not create it or change it then is it invalid.

-The Network and Commnuity-

Greetings, this is the pre-alpha page for the new Minsele community which i hope can become a more wide spread and favored community, we mainly operate in the game of roblox but all history, and war status' and such will be kept here so everyone can know of what has happened or what is happening.

We have began the community on the last day of the month of January and hope to be up and completly ready to release the beta of the community by Feb. 15 which is not too far away.

All 13 of the faction leaders will be assigned by me, the current manager, we will operate with the utmost fairness and all history will be written and created with fairness to all factions alike. If you want to create a lesser faction which is not in the history or does not own land on the alpha map then please contact me to discuss the faction you wish to create, just a heads up on a few things about lesser factions.

1- They will either be put on a small island or they will have to rebel against a larger faction, if the larger faction allows them to break away then they can become a lesser faction.

2- You need 25 people to be a lesser faction and you need to have a training place, city, fort, town, or even a village/camp otherwise you cannot become a lesser faction.

3- You may provide you're own uniforms but they must be lore abiding, chainmail, leather, steel plated, something to that nature, if you need help providing uniforms just contact me and maybe we can help you.

4- I will submit the faction for it to join the community offically, if it breaks lore for example you have spaceships, then you will not be allowed in.

We encourge others to create small factions such as these but they must not break any of these important rules.

WAR condtions-

-In order to wage war on one of the factions, you must be in the community. You must have at least 1 raidable base, if you do not then you cannot wage war.

-Raids, battles what ever it is must be filmed or screenshoted for either side to count it as a victory.

-When an enemy wins 5 raids at a base they will gain that land, if you have built the fort, city, or town, you do need to give it to the enemy for it is you're creation but it would be very nice of you if you did and would show that you are a good sport, if not just de-active it for the hope of retaking the lost ground.

- Wars can be ended by either of the factions at either time, a forum or some kind of written agreement should be signed, condtions are up to the two warring factions.

- Allies may be used in all wars, allies can also gain land in the war and such else, they will be added to the warscoreboard on the community page.

- Admin abuse during raids in wars is something that should not happen in any case at all, there is also never any autowins.

- Surrendering factions who wish to surrender uncondtionally can be absorbed by the winner and brought into their own faction or be used as a vassel to the winning faction.

These are currently all the rules for war.

-FACTIONS-

There is 13 major factions in Minselse currently at this time. Each one has a different Culture, daily life



, choice of worship or the way they wage war and make their craft. They all share one primary langauge, which is known as "common togue" to most, yet some regions have their own acents or slang which people from other regions might have a hard time understanding.

Rimdindale--- Rimdindale is one of the most central regions in all of minsele, it's slow flowing rivers and green grasslands make it ideal to grow crops and raise livestock.Not many tree's can be found in this region because they were either cleared for farm land were never existed on the flat plains, the land is also known to have the rare flood during a rainy season.

The Duke of Rimdindale rules over the land as his Duchy, It is said he hopes to be crown king someday when he is able to gain the title. The Faction who controls Rimdindale is the Duchy of Rimdindale, it's army is an average size but looks foward to expansion. 80 or more years before Rimdindale was the center of a well sized empire which held every region on the mainland of Minsele but Greensharde and in it's grasp, after an the death of a king, the 3 head generals scattered to claim their own piece after one murdered the dead king's only son and daughter in law, even their newly born child yet all the generals were betrayed by their own generals and other people moved in to take over the regions they once held. Yet now the Duke of Rimdindale has chosen he will rebuild the kingdom of leave his duchy for as he see's it, a great vast empire!

Current Capital- Rimton.

Mortanspeal--- Mortanspeal is on the southeastern part of the Minsele mainland and is well known for fair weather for most of the year, it almost never snows in Mortanspeal, the grass is green and farming is decent yet there is some small hills in the center of this region. Most of the land is valleys separated by very low valleys, yet when you get to the coast this is non existent, small forests can be found anywhere where you can find water. The Mortanspeal coast is calm and an good place for shipping as well as fishing.

Mortanspeal is ruled by the Duke of Mortanspeal and is known to have warrior's heart. The Faction that controls Mortanspeal is the Duchy of Mortanspeal, the dutchy has a small army but has a solid navy which is focused on more then land forces, they are also well known for being arch enemies with Teramont isle, they had been fighting before the Rimdindale empire had have always held a hate as strong as stone for each other. The Dutchy of Mortanspeal has never looked to go out conquering others and plan on taking a defensive plan if they get into a war, of course though, they wouldn't mind taking over Teramont isle after all.

Current Capital- Recklin.

Dorumden--- The Region of Dorumden Is on the Northeastern edge of Minsele, it is covered with mountians and fast flowing river and vast pine forests yet it lacks in large amounts of farmable land anywhere last the southern part of the region, raising animals and fishing is done where farmable land is hard to find, Winters are not very long below the mountians but they can sometimes be brutal. The rocky coast provides some of the most nicest harbours a ship could find but it also add's more danger to the ship.

Dorumden is ruled by the Duke of Dorumden, he is up in his years and was born at the end of the destruction of the late Rimdindale empire which extended over a large portion of the known world in Minsele. Dorumden's army is not large, neither is it's fair but both are a fair size, if they were ever to be invaded they would stay in mountian forts and fight a gurellia war to repel invaders, they are also masters of the crossbow. Dorumden has always had it's eye on the Peral isle and can be expected to make a try at taking it for themselves.

Current Capital- Rocktide.

Trimden--- The smallest of the mainland regions is Trimden, sticking out like a fin out of the mainland, this mid-northerly region has small hills which can be found in it's center and is known to have cool crisp winters, the region is overflowing with tree's and game which range from deer to bears, the lake near it's southern border feeds rivers that go on for miles, farming is good in this region but most of the population finds it easier to get food from the nearby sea.

The Earl of Trimden is a tall fair haired man with great strength. The region of Trimden is controlled by the faction The Earldom of Trimden which is a faction known for skill in combat and brutality to their captured prisoners, Their army is not large but a good size for the size of the region, Heavy infantry is their strongest point for their armed forces, they have a small quick and nimble navy which can hit fast and escape even faster. They hate Rimdindale and are known to go on small raiding parties into their southern counterpart and would love to see nothing but Rimdindale under the heel of their boot, it can be expected they will try to conquer more then just Rimdindale.

Current Capital- Fenheim.

Kentrine--- Kentrine is right in the center of Minsele and has a varity of features in the region, foothills in it's north, so moving river, marshlands in it's southern reachs, some desert in it's western edge and the rest is a mixture of forest and farmlands. Kentrine has a small coast but is very active in trade none the less, farming is good in Kentrine yet they get little or nothing out of the sea.

The Kingdom of Kentrine is ruled by the "great" King of Kentrine who has not been on the for more then 10 years, The Kingdom of Kentrine is facing the possibility of losing it's title as a Kingdom of Greensharde pushes it's borders at the south and Sunmore from the western side, Kentrine has a strong and large army yet a very small unskilled navy, it's army's primary unit is pikemen and heavy cavalry. Their arch-enemy is Greensharde, it has always been trying to push Kentrine's borders and they have already had a war years earlier which ended in defeat for Kentrine, Kentrine surrendered the isle just south of Kentrine's southwestern edge and for this they are bitter and no doubt want it back and on top of that, revenge.

Current Capital- Mannington.

Greensharde---  filled with marshlands and waterways, it is found in the southern part of Minsele, it is filled with swamps, willows and swamp going creatures, any land not swamped is very good for farming and wild rice is very easy to find here as well, not many animals are breeded here because of not alot of good grazing land, many cities and towns in this region need to be connected to water ways to move goods and people, the swamps are tough and challenging to cross.

The region of Greensharde is ruled by The Empire of Greensharde is one of the most powerful empires in Minsele at this time, they have isles and a foothold in the Reinmith isles. The King of Greensharde is a middle aged man and lustful for conquering, he will do everything he can to take more land for his flourishing kingdom. The Faction, The Empire of Greensharde is not new at all, it is maybe one of the oldest in all of Minsele being they were never conquered by the Rimdindale Kingdom like most other regions a long while back. Their army is vast and they host reasonable archers and many types of light infantry which are good fighters in the marshlands and elsewhere. Their navy is a medium size which they use to defend and patrol the lands they hold outside of their home region, they will no doubt be looking to conquer more territory in the future.

Current Capital- Mosskler.

Sunmore-  The Region of Sunmore sits on the most western edge of Minsele, made up of desert and some tropical jungle, it is very different from all the other regions in minsele, in it's center is a large desert, it's north part is arid but not desert, the isle on it's northern border is the same feature as Vectorstron. Water can be hard to find but deep wells keep villages and towns not thirsty, nuts and dates are plentyful here and land by the coast and the few waterways do good, any rain that falls leaves fresh grass in the arid soil for grazing livestock which feeds most of sunmore's population, anything they can't get from the land they always can find in the sea.

The Duke of Sunmore is one of the greatest horsemen in all of Minsele, he rules the region of Sunmore. The Faction that controls Sunmore is the Dutchy of Sunmore, The Dutchy of Sunmore's army is a good size, it's navy is not very large and is unskilled but they have the best light cavalry at their disposel, they used to be a region under The Kingdom of Kentrine but broke away some years back and have been a free dutchy since then, they also look to spread their control over other regions like Kentrine and Vecotrstron, no one knows exactly what they could be planning to do if they get the chance to do it.

Current Capital- Sandwave.

Vectorstron--- One of the most coldest and mountianious regions in Minsele, Vectorstron is home to the largest mountians in Minsele. Sitting on the Northwest part of Minsele, it is made up of river valleys, dales, and foothills which is surrounded by large mountians, regardless of the mountians, enough food can be grown to support the well sized population, the cold northern sea's also supply food for the hunger citizens of Vectorstron. Winters are very harsh and many can die every year from the cold and not enough food or supplies, herding livestock is also decent up in Vectorstron but cows do not fair so well there.

The King of Vectorstron is known for his diplomatic nature yet harsh figure. The faction that controls Vectorstron is the Kingdom of Vectorstron, it is one of the largest Kingdoms in Minsele, The Kingdom of Vectorstron's army is large and their navy is not large but it is not small, it is big enough to defend the Vectorstron coasts. The army is made up of a a few types of troops but mostly light infantry and medium infantry are the majority of the force, they use little or no cavalry. Vectorstron broke away from the Rimdindale Empire as it fell into pieces and quickly re-created it's old government, their next conterparts, Kentrine had taken an isle that was part of Vectorstron to the west of the province, during the crash of the Rimdindale empire, Sunmore rebelled from Kentrine soon after and Sunmore took over the isle. Vectorstron dislikes their southern conterparts and plans to take back what was suppose to be their's from the start, meanwhile they are also good friends with Trimden as far as relations so who knows what will happen? Current Capital- Vectorburgh.

Peral Isle--- A calm and peaceful island, small forests with green pastures and beautiful coastline, it snows in Peral isle rarely, warmer waters from the south surround the island so it stays warm most of the year. There is enough farm grown food to feed most of the isle's population, the rest is fish or stuff brought in from Rimdindale or Greensharde. On the island you can find a secret order of monks whom are not well documented and no one knows much about.

The Lord of Peral isle is in fact Lady of Peral isle and is the only women leader out of all 12 of the factions. The Isle of Peral is controlled by the faction which is simply called Peral isle (Fiefdom of Peral isle) which is very small compared to the other 12 factions found elsewhere, The navy is very small suprisingly for a island nation, and the army is even smaller. Peral isle is known for being very peaceful and therefore over the years has become a target for pirates and perhaps other larger factions down the road. They are focused on doing everything they can to defend their peaceful isle even if it means leaving it to do so?

Current Capital- Noonvale.

Teramont Isle--- Teramont was created out of the sea by volcano's before man even set foot on it's ground. 2 of the islands(The two biggest) are covered with tree's and grasslands which have been turned into farms and they produce enough to feed those two islands and they are growing rapidly, meanwhile the other ones have slowly grown and the soil is harder to make do with so must lean on the sea to feed them which is not turning out too great either.

King of the Teramont isles is known to be a cold hearted man who deals with his enemies in worrible ways. The Faction that controls The Teramont isles is the Kingdom of Teramont, an age old kingdom dating back before the Rimdindale Kingdom forged an empire. Teramont has a medium sized army and a huge navy, the biggest in all of Minsele, they used to do nothing but pirating and plundering a long while ago and now use those tactics and skills to destroy enemies. Teramonts citizens are related to two kinds of people, the pirates who raided the Minsele mainland for hundreds of years, and the slaves they brought back from raids who were freed after a rebellion. For these reasons Teramont is considered the faction of "pirates" which might be why most dislike them.

Current Capital- Seabale.

Reinmith Isles --- The Reinmith isles are tropical paradise in some prespective, they have some marshs but only in the isles cores, most of them are tropical paradise, food is not hard to grow and the sea add's to the food supply yet they lack raw materials like Iron and wood. they are directly south center of the main land mass in Minsele. There is small hills in the largest island, many people visit the isles from other regions for it's warm weather and easy living, yet recently not many are allowed to visit.

The Duke of Reinmith is known for his sea warfare abilities. The Faction that controls the Reinmith isles is the Reinmith Dutchy, The Kingdom of Greensharde is also in control of the northern part of the largest of the isles, they had taken it over it the most recent war between the two factions and they are still bitter rivals because of it. Reinmith has a medium sized army with many shortswordsmen and slingers, they have a good sized navy as well and are almost close enough to match the Teramont navy in agility and speed. Reinmith plans to resecure all it's lost lands and put an end to the expanion of it's Swampdwelling counterpart.

Current Capital- Brightle.

Tannermith Isles--- Tannermith isles are directly southwest of the main land mass of Minsele, Tannermith is fertile and tropical like the chain next to it, Reinmith. Tannermith is very different in many ways, Tannermith worships No gods at all and have no rules about marriage which is frowned upon by all not from that region, Tannermith is self sustaining on most of it's isles but the smaller ones always need food sent there.

The King of Tannermith is cruel to his enemies and a strong will, he also promotes the learning of science and education. The faction in which controls Tannermith is in fact two, The Kingdom of Tannermith controls the entire region minus one island which the Kingdom of  Greensharde took years ago in battle. The Kingdom of Tannermith are very keen archers and are some of the best in Minsele to this day, They have a medium sized army and a medium sized navy but they promote alot of learning and education of all classes which has seem to damage morals a bit in the region. The Kingdom of Tannermith is setting it's sities on the mainland and the rest of the island chains nearby,  who knows what they could be planning to do?

Current Capital- Nimbralta.

The Isle of Canton- The Isle of Canton looks just like the terrain of Vectorstron only it is an island, the winters are also less snowy and less cold, food grows well and the land is fertile, they also are many underground caverns found on the small northernly isle.

The Duke of Canton is known as a scholar to many and enjoys many arts of knowlegde. The Faction that controls canton is the Canton Duchy which is very small compared to other factions in Minsele, it is also the youngest. Rimdindale had left the island and then so did Sunmore and a new government was created. Canton has a very small navy and a small army, yet they are known to have a very strong fortress on their Isle's interior. Most would consider their scope and plan to be to hold and defend, but who know's what the little Isle could be capable of doing???

Current Capital- Rossden.

There will be more about each of the factions posted rapidly in the next few days.

PRE-HISTORY-

250 years before the start of the game (community's time period) The Kingdom of Rimdindale has expaned across Minsele from their native centeral lands of "Rimdindale" in eastern Minsele, they captured all regions on the mainland and Peral isle but not Vectorstron and Greensharde. Vectorstron was not a united nation at the time, they were split into separte tribes and fought amoung themselves in their mountianous region, Greensharde on the other hand was a well sized Kingdom but lacked resources and men to defeat the Rimdindalers so the King of Greensharde, Alf Malamako the 1st went to the isles of Reinmith and asked for the help of his old long time enemy King Vickles. Vickles Farwin was elderly at the age of 81 and was nearing his time to pass into the afterlife, Alf Malamako marched into his palace with Greensharder knights at his flanks, his footsteps were loud and hard and woke the entire court of Reinmith.

Alf let his great voice boom out, "Vickles, you're old pal alf is here!, how are you fairing old man?" Alf pretended in front of the whole court that hw and Vickles were old friends. "I am well and doing fine even in my old age alf" Vickles said quietly compared to the naturaly loud alf. "I need you and Reinmith with me on the field when the Rimdindalers march into Greensharde, if they take Mosskler or even Blackenfen, they are crossing right over to here and they will be down around yer' ears before you know what's happenin'!" Alf's chest was heaving after he finished the last word. Vickles was looking at the roof of his palace looking as if he was considering it, then we spoke softly "I wonder how a panting up there would look? Maybe some waves gliding onto a nice beach" Alf began to fill with anger that he was being ingnored by the old man and seemed he was going to explode until Vickles spoke again. "My son come over here" Vickles' son Farrow came to his father's side "I want you to go outside and have tea with our "guest" and speak to him about whatever it is he came here for, i need to take a nice nap" Vickles was helped up by several servents and given his cane as they went off to his chambers down the hall from the main throne room. "My name is Farrows, you must be King Malamako from Greensharde?" Farrows aid next to him nodded quietly " Come with me you're grace, we will have a meal out on the front porch" they both walked towards the front on to the porch where they sat down to speak, food was brought, Lemon Cakes, Apple waffers, Oatcakes and Strawberry cordial. They ate some slowly as Alf began speaking in his normal loud voice " I did not come here to eat, i came to ask if you would and you're "Kingdom" would come and join me in the war with the Rimdindalers who have already brought Kentrine down into pieces and the entire western part of Minsele! and are targeting me now and then you! so why will you not help me against these animals?" Alf could feel the pressence of more Rein Guards at his rear and flanks, the guards in front of them held their hands on their pommel sword handles waiting for Alf to go out of control. Alf's two bodyguards didn't even flitch at the sight of double guards they kept their emotionless faces while their King went on. "So i need to know now whether you feel like being with me or against me?" He stared strenly at the young prince who picked up a napkin and wiped his clean shaven face and then looked up at Alf with his hazle eyes and spoke, " Well you're grace, we will help you, BUT we are not sending a single Reinmith man over to you're Kingdom, we will stay on our ships and meet the Rimdalers at sea." Alf was going to have a fit that they would not support him on land but the guards around him reminded him to stay calm, he paused and then put out his hand and shaked with the young man who offered him a poor offer but then again, it was better then nothing and at least this trip away from preparing him army wasn't a complete waste of his noble efforts, he left the palace with his two bodyguards taking glances back at the Rein Guards at the front door watching them leave, almost as if making a mentle note of each others face to find on the battlefield.

7 days later, The King of Greensharde arrived in Ingles and travelled by cart to his military camps near the border of the Rimdindale border where his scouts and spies have found the Rimdalers will be attacking from being it is a less swampy part of the region. Alf's brother, Proventus who is only 20 years old had been watching over the defences while his brother was away and had much new for his brother, they sat in the military camp tent with several other generals and some aids. General Lentium was head of the armed forces and had served Alf well over the years, he spoke a while about types of new defense methods he had come up with and then Proventus dropped the bomb.

"The Rimdalers are attacking tomorrow at noon or so, their entire force is mustered at Southerly point getting on rafts as we speak and they will come down the river and bypass most of our lines, i have already dammed the river and have 40 score of archers waiting, and have 10 times that much in reserve." Alf looked at him with a grin "Brother, why did you not say it sooner?!" his grin went into a unhappy face as his young brother came up with excuses " Sorry alfy i forgot" Alf looked like he was going to blow "Do not call me alfy, i am you're king, not you're messmate!" proventus left the tent and General Lentium went on with the battle plans and they talked for the rest of the night and came up with a good plan and prepared for the next day as they got some rest. Proventus had already left the camp, with all his Rangers in tow( Archers) and was heading to Mosskler, he was done with this stupid war and his idiot brother.

Back in Reinmith, The King of the Isles was dieing and his son was with him till he spoke his last breath and he was gone. A guardsmen asked what it was his father had told him when he spoke his last word, Farrows looked up at him and spoke softly as he always did, "Never trust a swamplander". The next day Farrows was crowned directly after his father's burial and he went to the docks where his navy was waiting, Rimdindale was going to get a nice suprise left on their doorstep that day.

The squire came into the King of Greenshardes tent with his royal armor and fitted him for combat, he and his guards marched onto the rally point and thousands of Greensharders hailed their king. " MEN WE GO TO WAR!" he screamed at the top of his lungs raising his trident, his men raised their weapons and wnet into formation and marched to battle where the few guards were being massacured by Rimdalers forces coming down the meadle river to capture their homeland. With outragous luck the Greensharder's main force got to the dam in time and repelled the Rimdalers, both sides lost thousands of men on the field, bodies were in the river, on the banks, and in the feilds, skirmishing was still continuing along 40 miles of the Greensharder border, Rimdalers were not prepared to face a gurrila style enemy so they withdrew from what they did capture and planned to attack tomorrow if the weather was good, but this time a better plan, meanwhile Kentrine cavalry in service to Rimdale was making progess fighting the Greensharder's near the regions center.

The Ivory fleet left Reinmith and headed for Rimdindale's largest seaport, at the time it was Janstin (No longer exists) where 80% of the Rimdalers navy was, they were not being called into action unless land invasion turned out sour for the Rimdalers. Reinmith fired tarred rocks at any Rimdaler vessel, civilan or navy, couldn't take any chances, they reach the port where the massive armada of Rein's naval ships unleshed fire and arrows down on any ships which seemed to be manned, a few boats dropped elite Rein axemen onto the docks, and light infantry which put all docked ships to the torch meanwhile the elite axemen rampaged threw the city quarters near the docks, targeting military personal, it was a blood bath, the Rimdalers had been drinking and partying all night so they were easy to slay, the city guard were so busy trying to put out fire's that they didn't see the Reinsmen axe till it was 2 inches from their faces or buried in their skulls. whoever was alive sounded the retreat and they attempted to evacute the city which failed being the city was engulfed by fire before civilans could get out, any sailors jumping from the bunring boats were met by axes when they got to the docks, few prisoners were taken, as much loot as possible as well and they loaded up on their ships which 50% of the armada went back to Reinmith to re-supply and drop off the loot and the new King Farrow.

Rimdindale was horrified when they learned of the bunring and sacking of their most wealthy port city and the almost total destruction of their navy, they quickly assembled to building new ships and milita units were posted all along the southern coastline, they called Vassals to bring troops and ships to help, they were done being made a fool out of by swamp dwellers and islanders. all but 10% of the armada returned to reinmith with a hero's welcome and the people were with their new king farrow and were glad with the wars success. the remaining Reinmith ships near the Rimdindale coast sailed up the river to attack the 3rd largest city in Rimdindale which was on the banks of the river, they were too bold and thought it impossible to lose after their win at Janstin weeks before, they sailed up the river to be met by catapults and a small auxilary navy the Rimdindalers had docked their, the Reinmith ships were blown to pieces by rocks and boulders, most jumped overboard and many surrendered, the Rimdindalers took the p

risoners and exacuted everyone under the rank of captain and took the rest to be beaten till they gave some kind of useful information.

All others in the water were shot dead with crossbows and bodies were poked a few times with spears to make sure they were dead, they might of only got a faction of payback that was needed but Rimdindale didn't seem like a big idiot anymore and morale went up high again and now dipped in Reinmith, The Reinmith navy avoided assulting towns and cities for the next 6 months and focused on attacking their shipping and blocking up what river mouths and ports they could to strangle Rimdindale which would be impossible being the size of their empire at the time.



While the fighting in the south went on and primarily skirmishes were the only fighting, the north most reaches of the Rimdindale empire had a problem, the Vectorstron clans had united under a single banner and Vectors already living in the part of Vectorstron in thr Rimdindale empire wants to separate. Patrols of Rimdindale regulars were sent out to scout out the tribes as peacefully as possible.

One such patrol, a 35 man group lead by Captain maron lentoir walked up a slope into a small pine forst, they were to check on the second largest tribe which no one could even remember their names, they walked up slopes and threw woods until they came to a grove in the middle fo the woods where they pitched several tents made one or 2 fires, and put up some stakes for defence, they were going to be there a few days and send a scout out here and their to scout the whole area and then move back south. Sallius, a noblemen serving as 1 of the 5 horsemen in the small platoon made a little shelter next to the other's tents and shelters and ate his rations of cabbage soup and an apple and went to sleep, he was getting midnight guard duty tomorrow so he wanted an early bedtime. the men soon after follow and went to bed after playing cards or gambling. Captain Maron expected this to be an easy mission and an easy ticket home hopefully.

Salluis awoke to the screams of his comrades as the sounds of battle filled the late night air, screams and shouting could be heard all over the camp as Vector Cherts(Light infantry or tribal infantry) ran around the camp with short swords, cutting ears off sleeping men and then their heads, most of the men jumped and ran only to get a javalin in their back. Captain Maron cut a vector in two and scream at the top of his lungs " Come on you motherless dirt, lets see what you are made of!" he also shouted orders to anyone who would follow them as he tried to direct whoever was breathing to the few horses to escape, i jumped onto one of the horses with two others as everyone else was butchered, as Maron shouted to pull back a tribal B-lined right for him and shoved a spear threw his back, his eyes went back and the seasoned vetren was done, who ever was left was clubed and dragged away to be beaten and tormented. Sallius was the highest living rank out of the pair he had with him and he did not know the country, but he knew which way was south so they rode that way, the sun was up but the sights of the night did not leave their minds, suddenly they came on to a flat Tundra with grass and flowers, if they were not in hostile territory they would of stayed awhile but they pushed on, their horses were getting weak as well, Dande, one of the two with Sallius turned and saw 20 Vector mountian trackers riding horses after them with sword drawn, the Rimdalers pushed their horses so they could escape death once more. Dande picked a weaker and older horse by mistake the other night and it would cost him his life. The horse tripped sending him fowards into the mud, an arrow went threw the horses back leg as he tried to get her up, and then another through it's head, he drew his dagger to swing at the oncoming horsemen, one picked up his lance and hurled it at him with great speed it went right threw his middle, smashed into his Breastplate and stuck out his back, he feel face down and then got his head trampelled by one of the horses.

Kyrial and Sallius had no time to save the now dead Dande and they rode hard for a group of hills, hopping to find safety, Kyrial called to Sallius (I don't see them, maybe Dande killed them all and is still alive? that'd be something i'd pray for" Sallius shouted back, "You do not pray, do you?" their was no repley but the arrow zipping past Sallius' leg, he turned seeing Kyrial off his now dead horse crawling calling for sallius to come back, but he couldn't. Kyrial had an arrow threw his knee, he got up to fight but fell, 6 Vectors dismounted and desended on him. He drew his sword and cleaved one as he cried "Please NO DON'T KILL ME PLEASE! I JUST WANT TO GO HOME! I DONT WANT TO BE HERE! OR TO HURT YOU JUST LET ME GO PLEASE I BEG YOU!" almost as if the big vector in front of him nodded yes, he did not nod to Kyrial, he nodded to the other Vector now shoving a dagger through his back, tears rolled down Kyrial's eyes as his last thoughts were of his mother and his little sister and of how he would take the little 5 year old finishing last summer, he fell to the ground where the Vectors took all his stuff, even his boots, and rode after the last invader of their homeland.

Sallius got to the foothills where he hid behind a rock, he began to break down into tears at the loss of his two companions and his entire platoon, he cried for his mother without shame and begged the heavens to let him see another day of life, his horse wandered away and he went to sleep.....

He woke up thirsty and went over to a stream next to the small hills, he went down to take a sip only to hear a gruff voice say, "Well boys look who it is the cry-baby coward who thought we can't track a big idiot rimdaler into a pile a rocks!" The other vectors next to him answered with uproared laughter at his remark, Sallius was not going to die here without taking the big fat mouth with him, he drew his sword and screamed "YOU BASTAAA.....DS......He met a spear threw his lower middle as the big mouthed one laughed in his face, Sallius stuck his own dagger threw his neck and tried to pull the spear out and run but the others were already on top of him, smashing open his skull with maces and hand axes, a sparrow watched all this from a pine tree where things were more peaceful.

This happened all over Vectorstron, up to 3500 patrolmens ears,heads, even eyes were left in baskets in front of gates of Rimdale controlled cities and forts, it was clear that the Clandoms were proving a point, either stay out of our land, or we will make sure that only parts of it leaves.

The Emperor of Rimdindale was a 45 year old man with a clean shaven face at most apperences with blonde-grey hair, medium height and recently devolped a large gutt after he left military endovours to his Generals which seemed to weaken the Rimdindale forces, he was a shrewd commander and he had put together the patch work empire after following in his father's footsteps. His Father had taken Mortanspeal, and Dorumden after a long war, he then fought the invading Trimens coming down from Trimden which he was killed in battle but Congren finished the campagin his father started and captured the Nordic barbarians capital of Fenheim and put their Jarl's head on a pike. He then took the title as Emperor of Rimdindale and he had built the first half his father perviously started, he demanded the other Super power at the time Kentrine to give some of it's land that Rimdalers called home, over to the Rimdindale empire. Kentrine refused and Congren declared war and invaded Kentrine. He battled the entire Kentrine army at Troval and sacked the city, he also slew the Crown Prince of Kentrine in the battle and they withdrew. He then layed siege to their Capital of Mannington and received their uncontionial surrender after weeks and months of skirmishing throughout Kentrine and the long siege of Mannington, he also sent his navy round to capital Kentrine's holding of Sunmore. He then received the uncontionial surrender from Kentrines Vassels, Southern Sunmore, Northern Sunmore, Isle of Caton, and several Vectorstron tribes who were added to the Rimdindale empire. He has built a massive Empire, the largest ever known in Minsele to date and possibly in the world. After a few years of Peace they sunk the Teramont navy as it tried to invade Mortanspeal, they then signed a non-aggression pact and Teramont didn't invade the Empire for the rest of it's lifetime.

Now Congren was no longer his young self, his 2 sons and 3 daughters lived in luxoray and it was possible he had no good heirs in his direct blood, he had no brothers, one dead sister, And his wife was too busy in the gardens to help any of his future airs rule after his death. He made the best of it and tried to coach his eldest son Sean Firevane on warfare, and ruling, his son was 17 and he gave him command of the transportation for the military which his son did do alright but lacked in other tasks he was given, hopefully his son could manage when he was gone.

Congren slumped in his throne on hearing the triple defeat his armies and navies had suffered across the empire...."You're grace, The reinsmen have burned the entire Royal navy, we have called all the Auxilary ships in and the Northern fleet to come down from Trimden to push any Reins blockades away from our coasts." The Admiral looked at his Emperor in weary way, waiting for him to explode. Congren asked the War councilmen what else had happened, he knew already but he wanted details and wanted to know what they planned to do. "Well you're Grace, we are taking all the men in Trimden and sunmore and strengthing the Vectors border, we are preparing an invading force to go north in the coming months, after Greensharde is dealt with you're grace". The emperor spoke angerliy "I wonder how long that will take, being you idiots lost to the Greensharders at the Battle of the Dam, and the Battle of Krisk and the Battle of Meckfield!" His advisors and generals looked at the floor in shame "You are all releaved, i will be taking full command, lets see if you are still good at taking direct orders, because you certainly can't good any that mean victory!"

The Emperor ordered the entire Rimdale forces in the eastern part of the Empire to rally at Southerly point, they planned to flank the Greensharders from the Kentrine and smash through the small bands of Borderguards and push into Greensharde's center, while the Northern fleet would arrive, crush the Reinsmen on the coast and then come south and defeat the small Greensharde navy and sail up the River and siege Mosskler which by then the Rimdale army could move south and capture the major cities and there by capture most or the entire region in a few months with low losses hopefully, when that was finished they would then invade and destroy the hostile tribes in the rest of Vectorstron and therefore they would hold the entire Mainland of Minsele, maybe they would land on Reinmith and give them some revenge for the buring of the whole royal fleet.

Alf walked into his war tent in his now slightly damaged armor, he had led the Vanguard into the Battle  of Meckfield that early morning, the Rimdalers tryed to attack by land for the second time on the side of the river, they tried two days ago to attack by land and on river just north of the Dam at the battle of Krisk. Greensharde had won every battle but they did lose the small city of Hendvine near the center. The Rimdalers pulled out of the region, only leaving small groups to skirimish with the Greensharders and look for weak spots in their defensive line but Alf saw right through it and moved his forces left, he had finally pulled out more troops and his army numbered close to a half a million troops, he had about 475,000 troops at his command in the main army and about 100,000 naval personal spread out mostly around the coast to defend the coastline and ports, he had about 50,000 border guards and militamen which were fighting rimdaler skirmishers in small bands all across the border. he had to move his forces west quickly to block off the coming advance of the Rimdalers also going that way, he began moving the bulk of his army to a Fort Yolmen 20 miles east of Protonale which the Rimdaler skirmishers were hitting hard, making way for the large Rimdaler force.

The Greensharders arrived to see Protonale burning and Rimdaler banners floating high, the Protonale city guard could not hold the city very long and it was lost in a day or two, Alf was very angry and he ordered the Cavalry to sweep through the gates and lead the charge, he ordered a small group to stay back and set up a camp if they attack failed, 200,000 Greensharders swarmed into the city, the Rimdalers left 85,000 troops in the city as they moved the rest back across the Kent River. The Rimdalers were still looting when the greensharders arrived, Caslte trecker was burning, the last of the garrison was burning in side and greensharders went t help, the Rimdalers choose to save men and time but setting the small castle within the city to blaze. The Greensharder heavy infantry chopped the lightly armored basic Rimdaler footmen in half with their poleaxes, the Greensharders fought with anger at seeing one of their homecities being taken. Most of the Rimdalers fled the city and went across the River kent with any craft available.

The Battle was finished, 51,000 rimdalers littered the streets and walltops, Greensharders had taken them mostly by suprise and sustained few causalties and claimed The Battle of Protonale a victory, he ordered the city repaired and reforced for a counter-attack, he sent 100,000 men to fort Yolmen to cover the flank. he was preparing for the long haul.

Congren was sleeping across the River kent in his royal tent, an officer entered yelling for his Emperor's attention. "You're Grace! the Greensharders are taking back Protonale!" The emperor jumped from his bed and put on his clothes he stormed outside to see in the distance the City of Protonale, he could hear the shouting of men killing each other from across the river, he told a band of 25,000 to go across to reforce the men in Protonale but as he prepared the men he saw the boats coming over filled with battle broken and hurt men, stretchers were brought up. The emperor clapsed his hand on his face and went back to his tent, new orders were to pull back and fire a catapult across at the city every hour to keep the Greensharders awake for the next few days and maybe then they would attack again and crush the Greensharders to dust.

The Rimdalers moved the next moring, leaving siege weapons to keep firing on the Greensharders while most of the army went south to Swampost where most of the Borderguards were, they had lost a minor battle to Vassals of Rimdindale and seemed alot easier to beat than the main army, they attacked in Earnest and the Border Guard put up fighting all the way into swampost, one of the Rimdaler general caught an arrow in the throat and the King's battalion was attacked and a Greensharde militaman almost cleaved the king before being cleaved himself, gear was stuck in the swamplands and they moving very slow. Information got to Alf from the Borderguards about the Rimdalers moving from their flank, alf moved all the men from Yolmen and his reserves over to swampost, they travelled light and fast and avoided the swamps and came down on the Rimdalers with fury, the mud was covered with Rimdaler blood as the entire army of near 1.000,000 troops was routed from the field with in an hour, only 800,000 troops arrived back at the border and the king had taken an arrow to his shoulder, he was mended soon. Maybe this invasion of Greensharde was something he could not do?

The Northern fleet arrived in the south sea a few days before the Battle of Swampost and engaged majority of the Reinmith fleet off the coast of southeast Greensharde, the Reinmith ships were faster but had less catapults and fire arrows, larger half of the reinmith fleet was surrounded and many were sunk, they ended up pulling out and retreated back to their isles. The road was clear for the Rimdindale navy to go up the river, of course the Greensharde navy needed to be crushed but if they could beat Reinmith, then Greensharde would be even easier as they were not as good sailors and their ships were bulky and they had fewer then most of the other nations navies, maybe Rimdindale was going to win this war at sea if not at land. The Battle of Grassblades was a 6th defeat to Rimdindale during the war, they had only won 3 battles which only one managed to be of real stradegic value, they had only managed to cripple the Reinmith navy and capture some land along the border which was not worth the losses they gained fighting the gurrila style fighters in the Greenshaders Border guards which was large enough in certain zones to repel large enemy forces.But he had just got news of the now small royal navy dropping the also now small Marina (sea-to land force or as we know them, Marines) on a isle west of Tremblade and they conquered it after dispatching small groups of Reins fighters and they had taken complete control of the island, it was good news for him to hear.

The Northern Fleet decided to take the Island of Emralda instead of going inland.....yet. They blocked the island and sunk the few Greensharder ships that guards it's coasts, they sent word for the Emperor to come and lead the invasion of the island. The emperor went to the southern kentrine coast and borded a ship and went to Emralda, before he got their he gave the orders "Capture the island before i arrive." The Northern fleet emptyed sailors equipped with swords and pikes onto the island, after little fighting, the govenor of Emralda surrendered to the Rimdalers and the Emperor landed onto his new island, he immedity changed the name of the town of Erikton to Congren because the King of Greenshardes father's name was Erikton, it was just for the sake of angering the Greensharders to get back at them morally for all the victories they gained against his vaster and more powerful army. Meanwhile his army was ordered to take 50 feet every day and to move slowly in and put a noose around Swampost.

The Emperor went into the govenor mansion where he took the surrender of it's govenor who would stay govenor since he surrendered to Rimdindale without putting up a fight, he did not call up any of the local mitlia and even called off the town guards and city guards and had them throw down their weapons when the Rimdalers came to the city of Emralder. Some would call him a "turnover' or a traitor but he claimed he was doing it for his native people of Emralder. Only a small garrison of Greensharder "army" was found in a small keep in the city and a another smaller keep on the coast, both were wiped out in a matter of hours. Congren was overjoyed because he was finaly winning the war. a week later he got news from the front that they had taken most of the swamps surrounding swampost and were preparing to siege it and that was not the only thing, the northern fleet was given the go ahead, they travelled and skiped past Blackenfen and were going after the bigger prize.....Mosskler, in one day they would enter Green Lake.

Alf was informed of Reins defeat at sea which he was not suprised about, he also got news of Emralda and the smaller isle of Hinler surrendering to the Rimdaler fleet, he was outraged, he shouted at his generals while sitting in the main hall of Swamposts county seat "What in the name of.........that damn idiot! did he even fight them or did he just surrender when he saw their ships on the horizen!" The Officer giving the message explained calmy, "He surrendered when they reached the city, your grace, he also told the city guards and Militas to stand down. only me and a few others escaped your grace." " Only 1000 or so Greenshardmen were station on the island" One of the admirals said as the Officer finished. The Officer spoke again "They killed everyone in Emralder and on the northern watchtower, i was getting supplies with a small group of men to bring to the North watch tower, they were sieging the island for a few days and we were running out of rations in the city and all over the island your grace" The King looked at the ground and spoke more softly "Alright soldier, you have done well, see that you're men get a hot bath and a large hot meal, and you'll get extra wages for you're loyalty which some of you're countrymen have dismissed and taken the Rimdalers BANNER! He ended with a shout and dismissed the officer he was then also informed by a letter from Blackenfen of the Rimdalers Northern fleet entering the Blacken River mouth the day before. the next morning he was up early to hear the newest reports, The main Rimdaler army had taken all and everything north and east of swampost and were now building siege weapons to hammer the north gates, he  was also informed of Protonale being captured along with 30,000 men he left their, they had barley fought and surrendered over the night, he reforced the city borders with more milita and he was also told that the Rimdalers fleet was spotted coming into Green Lake, he immdetly left the city with a 5th of his army and left the rest to hold the line.

Alf rode for Greensharders capital of Mosskler, he only took his lightest infantry and cavalry with them for speed, they travellled fast and were near Mosskler at nightfall. He ordered the entire Greensharde navy to be massed the northern end of Green lake and sent word to his brother to rise the Milita and city guards along with the royal brigde in the city to make preperations for it's defense. in the morning he would arrive on a ferry at Mosskler. Proventus ( Alf's brother) received the message, he was sitting in his brother's throne when the messager arrived, he dismissed him and ordered all Milita to be risen and the city guard to stock up on all needed supplies, he also set his royal brigde to building catapults on the shores of the northern part of the Green island (In the middle of green lake which Mosskler is build on)

Proventus met with some aids and his general of the Royal brigde and began making a plan. The Greensharde navy sat at anchor in the calm lake, and then the Rimdale fleet came into the lake, the Greensharders beat their rowing drums hard to rose the sailors and the city, the captains shouted "PULL UP THE ACHORS YE SCABS!" The city guard went to the walls and archers strung their bows, the Royal brigde loaded the catapults and got torches ready to light the rocks dipped in tar and oil. it was 3:30 am at the eve of the battle and every man was ready to defend their beloved homeland., the city bells roared as each man thought of a loved one.

Admiral Hagor Trendheim was a really born in Fenheim directly after Congren's father Lomentus had captured the region of Trimden, he grew up around soldiers and joined the Northern fleet and soon rose through the ranks to become admiral in the Northern fleet and then the commanding figure of it. His flagship was even called "Fenheim" after his beloved home. He shouted orders to the crew and the signalers to signal the other ships to halt. he heard the drums and the city bells clinging and the Admiral ordered "They want to make music do they? play with them, SOUND THE TRUMPETS!" they sounded all trumpets of war and all ships were ordered to ingage, Greensharder ships put full sail and started rowing to ram the Rimdale ships, fire flew threw the air and crashed into ships, the Greensharde flag ship took three fire rocks to it's hull and stren and exploded into embers and flying burning wood, a few ships crashed into each other and men leaped onto other ships cleaving each other for control of the two locked boats.

The Fenheim smashed into the ship called Bloodwake and the Admiral ordered his men to board! "ALRIGHT LADS! LETS CUT THESE SONS A B****ES INTO FISH BAIT! DRAW YOU'RE SWORDS!" The Trimdeners (These were men recruited for about half of the Rimdalers northern fleet, Trimdeners were decent sailors and manned most of the Rimdaler ships outside of the Royal navy which is 100% recruited from Rimdindale) leaped onto the Bloodwake and fought brutishly with longswords and boarding axes, Admiral Hagor was in the thick of the fighting looking for the other ships captain, he ran up to the steering part of the ship and he saw the Greensharder captain with a big white feather sticking from his hat and in all green and amber cloaks, he had 5 crewmen in front of him blocking his way. The steermen came up from behind Hagor, he took his axe with both hand and turned around cutting the Steerers head off, he turned to the captain and his 5 guards and said to the Captain "Nice uniform, too bad i have to make it all blood and take yer pretty little head clean off, i think i want that feather in yer hat for meself hehehehe" The captain looked as if he was craping himself. Elsewhere on the ship the Fenheims crew was cutting the Bloodwakes to pieces and were cleaning up the remaining fighting on the lower decks and taking the prisoners, 3 of the Fenheim crew came up to the Steerage and backed up their beloved captain "LETS CUT THESE LITTLE GIRLS INTO PIECES EH MATES?" One of them said, one of the dumber of the three said " That is going to be awful hard to do oleg" "NO YOU IDIOT! JUST CUT THEM UP!" they charged in, the first 3 were cutt down easy and another one begged for mercy but Oleg did not give him any and left his sword drop onto his skull, his friend Milaken (The dumber of the few) went at the captain but the last crewmen pulled out his dagger and swung and found his throat which Milaken grabbed as his throat spilled blood out and you could hear him gurgling, The captain went to jump off the ship but Hagor threw his axe into his back and he fell into the lake with it sticking out his back. The third of the Trimdeners was Jorhalf and he swung his boarding axe at the last crewmen wildly before getting a dagger through his eye brutally, the last crewmen jumped off the steerage to avoid Olegs swinging sword, he landed on another Fenheim crewmen and stuck the dagger through the back of his skull, he then began running to jump off the side but he felt a crossbow bolt enter his back and his eyes rolled back and he fell in a puddle of crimson amoung his fallen crewmates. Admiral Hagor walked up to his body with an empty crossbow. "Too bad mate, ye weren't fast enough hehehehe, good fight ye was but he 'int runnin' from me crossbow laddo" They went back on to their ship with a few prisoners and the Admiral signalled all ships to regroup and fire all catapults and arrows on to the beach at the catapulta firing on them commanded by the royal bridge.

All across the lake Greensharder ships were either sinking to the bottom of the lake or were covered with bodies, only two survived out of the fleet of 126 vessels, 50 were captured, the rest were beached, shattered to bits or had sunk. The Greensharder Admiral was hanging from one of the Rimdaler ships called the Seascarb. The catapults on the beach were few and soon destroyed, the royal bridge sustained a few losses and went inside the city gates instead of sitting on the beach trying to put out the burning catapults and try to fire back arrows, it was clear the battle at the water was lost, nearly the entire Greensharder navy was below water. The Rimdalers faired better, Admiral Hagor only counted 41 ships sunk or destroyed out of 497 ships, one was captured and then sunk, so it was claimed a absolute victory and he sent word to the emperor, besides capturing the isles of Emralda and taking Protonale, this was the largest military victory they had against Greensharde in the entire war. His flagship the Fenheim had also taken near to none serious damage to it's hull.

Alf was enraged the next morning when he heard, the ferries had also been burned by stray fire arrows in the night so only him and a small group could cross on rowboats, he went straight to the palace where he unleashed on his brother his anger and fury for throwing away the entire navy and barley mounting any assults from land, he only bulit a few catapults in the time many could of been built, he knocked open his hall doors to find his little brother Proventus sitting on his throne with 50 or so of his royal brigde in front of him and 100 or more all around alf now in the hall. Alf stopped his shouting when he entered, seeing the situation he was in, he had 20 or so aids and guards with him which they each only had a dagger or a short sword, he clapsed his hand around the pommel and handle of his undrawn bastard sword and he spoke as softly as he could. "Brother, why are you on my throne and why are these men in battle armor and holding pole axes?" Proventus grinned "Because brother, maybe i just.....i don't know, i felt like it" Alf looked calmly and said, "Why have you lost my entire fleet?" He walked a few paces foward and the Royal Bridge came foward a little and blocked his path. "Why are these men in my way?" "Well big brother, they don't really think you're a good king anymore, they would rather have me lets say?" alf though quickly and said while stepping back to his guards "You will be king when i am dead, which is lone after i crush the Rimdalers with the navy that you GOT BURNED TO ASH LAST NIGHT YOU LITTLE WORM!" Everyone in the room drew their swords and weapons and proventus putt up his hand and then dropped it saying three words "Kill them all" In a flash the royal bridge charged at the guards and aids and the battle was bloody as Loyalist got spears run threw them and they were cleaved, the larger royal bridge force overwelmed the smaller foe till 5 including the king were back to back, one of the royal bridgesmen drew back his bow and let an arrow fly into alf's neck and he drifted to the floor grasping his neck as he fell in a puddle of blood, the last four loyalist dropped their swords and shouted :We yield we yeild please spare us we were only obeying orders!" Proventus was unphased by his brother's untimely death, and he said "Get my brother's corpse ready for burial, take these three down to the jailhouse and throw them in a cell, sound the bells and tell everyone these three assainated my brother, slew his other guards, and some of the Royal bridge, hang them early this evening in full view of the town, have it done, afterwards we will have my crowning and then we can deal with the Rimdalers without my stupid brother" he finished near to laughter at his brothers death and a captain said "My Lord there is 4 of them left not 3?" Proventus continued " Kill one of them then i don't really care" as soon as he said it a Royal bridger smiled happily and grabbed one and cut his throat open and threw him to the floor, the other 3 began to practicaly cry at their plight and were led off to the jails, Proventus the schemer had backstabed his brother, and was going to be King unless the Rimdalers took Mosskler right after he had gotten it.

80 or so generals and government officals stood in the throne room where servents were still mopping up puddles of blood which the "assasins" had created, Proventus took the crown that was sitting on his brother's head hours ago and now it was his and he was proclaimed King of Greensharde. He had everyone prepare the city for a long siege and he had catapults be made on the city wall tops to fire on the ships in Green Lake, he also sent an envoy to Rimdale to ask for peace.

In Vectorstron, Hons Grencheg, Cheif of the tribe from Vectorburgh spoke to his clansmen and the other tribe leaders. COUNTRYMEN! The rimdalers knock at our doors! they want to come into our lands, they want it's ore beneath it's ground! they want our children to labour in their fields! they want us to fight their wars in their armies! AND I SAY NO! ARE YOU ALL WITH! he was greeted by shouting of all the clansmen who were eager to taste more Rimdaler blood, most of the men at the meeting had taken part in the killing of the 3500 patrolmen who ventured into Vectorstron previous weeks before, they knew the Rimdalers would strike back soon and hard so the chiefs began rallying all the tribes together to go on the warpath, out of 10 tribes in vectorstron, 7 were attending. The most civilized tribe was the Monterport tribe, next was at the helm of the tribes which was from Vectorburgh.

The third was from the northern fringes of Vectorstron, another was from the northwest fringes, another from the eastern coast which blended with some nordic culture, 2 more tribes were from the Vector lands held by Rimdindale, one tribe was from Norcheg while another was from just north of Mannington, they had previously lost against the Rimdalers when they took over Kentrine and were the main two tribes calling for war besides the one from Vectorburgh.

All but two tribes did not come, one tribe was from the northeast, they sent their regards and claimed they were burying their chieftan after his untimely death and his son would be their in a week or so, meanwhile the last tribe had betrayed them all and were travelling south to Rimdindale, they were going to side with the Rimdalers because of a few reasons, they also had the least land, east of Vectorburgh and desired to hold Vectorburgh so they went to warn the Rimdalers so they set a course on the mountian boats for Norcheg to warn the Rimdalers of the coming massive wave of raiding Vector tribesmen.

Meanwhile back at Emralda the emperor got news of the victory at Green Lake and was delighted, he tides of the war was turning and he would be the one winning in the end and then he could crush the Vector tribes once the Greensharders were dealt with, he was also thinking of having an invasion of Reinmith from Emralda. He got news at dinner about Alf Malamako's death by assasins who were claimed to be sent by him by Alf's brother Proventus. Congren laughed at it because he sent no such assasins, he was not into the spying and stabbing of kings, he prefered to do it on the battlefield rather then in the way of how worms fight and take power, anyway it was possibly good news depending on if Proventus was a terrible tactiction because his brother Alf was no genius politicaly but he lead his men well enough and had won 4 or so victories on land. Now he wouldn't have to worry about one of the few military genius' that the Greensharders had.

Norcheg was silent and calm. Henric a Rimdaler levy who was a native to Mortanspeal, as were his entire division was huddled on top of the wall tops doing routine night watch and such, he walked down the large walls almost every night and he held his latern in one hand and a short spear in the other or he would rest his hand on his dagger if he forgot his spear in the barracks, it was peaceful at most nights and he went up to his friend in the watch tower.

"Eh Henric, that you mate?" said Meden "yes mate, who else do you think it would be?" said Henric, "Well ye see matey, them Vectors and Monters and Kendals and other tribal folk been massacuring patrols and such out beyond the lines ye see, a few weeks ago 10,000 or so of us was murdered by those monsters, they let a few live to tell de tale mate." Henric paused fearly as a chill ran down his spine and he replied, "10,000? i heard more like 3,000 mate?" Henric said.

Meden spoke again "No mate i swear to ye its the truth it is mate, tell ye what go get some shut eye and i'll keep this here watch alrighty?" Henric nodded and sat in a chair in the tower and shut his eyes for a nice calm sleep with no stories of murdering barbarians or Vector axemen in his dreams.

He awoke to the thud of Meden's head on the floor with a spear going through his neck, he turned and looked down in time to see fire arrows flying into the buildings.Henric grabbed his spear and ran down the tower steps, the Tribes were already in the city, slaughting the half awake guard running out of the Barracks and the Citadal, it was a massacure, he ran a spear through the back of a Kron tribesmen, he screamed as it ripped through his guts, he held them as if trying to place them back in but he fell in a heap in front of henric, he turned around to another one swinging his axe at his neck, henric parried it and struck him in the shoulder with the wooden bottom and he then caught an arrow in the foot and turned the spear into the enemy's chest, he didn't bother pulling the spear out and made a run through an alley way with a few others retreating to the Citadal.

Him and 35 others arrived at the Citadal, it was at the bank of the Norch River at the northern most point of the city, the Rimdaler flag was not over it, The Clandoms of Vectorstron was and he turned around to see him and his companions surrounded by angry bloodthirsty tribesmen all grinning and holding axes and swords, the Commander of the Garrisions head was sitting on a pike in front of the Citadal gates and the Garrision's remaining men lost hope and dropped their arms and were put in chains, Henric was knocked out when he wriggled when they put irons on him.

He awoke to 8 of the 56 remaining garrision men dead without heads, they were exacuting the city's garrision for 25 years of murder, rape, and theft which was their charges yet the Chief of the Norens was judge,juery, and exacutioner, himself and the Captain of the Guard were the last ones to go to the chopping block, after the captain spit in their face they marched him to the block and cut through his bone and severed his head, which they also placed in a box to be sent to the Rimdindale Emperor, they removed the bonds henric had and the large officer shouted "Kick him off the front gate with a message to that bastard Emperor of his!" they did so and he fell of the tower and broke his already cut foot and his picked up a walking stick and limped away out of sight of Norcheg but it was a while until he stopped hearing the laughs of the Clansmen, laughing happily at his comical like limping.
