Thrazir was sitting on his throne. His lust for power was growing everyday and revenge. It was the only thing he could think about, that’s why the deep expansion began. Almost every male that could work was needed, the great expansion had finally start. The plan was too dig as deep as possible, to gain greater access to the metals. But other strange things were happening, weird sounds were heard at night. Not in the main kingdom but in the deep caverns.

Many folklore regained its importance, stories about monstrous hordes that had once almost destroyed the earth were told again. Even childish stories about weird wolf like monsters were told , but the worse part is they were believed. Every dwarf knew for sure they were entering a grim period. You could feel it in the air something changed.

And while the great expansion begun, a new grain was discovered. That could be grown underground so in the mountain kingdom. The gates were now closed permanently, because the dwarfs had everything they needed.
So a new big farm area was created and the first harvest would be harvested soon.

The tunnels were reaching greater depth with every day. It wouldn’t take to long before the dwarfs would reach the "heart” of the mountain. The dwarfs believes that every mountain has a heart at great depth. And that’s were their ancestor have the chance to come to earth again. It’s like a connection between ”heaven” and the normal world. And it’s also believed that their ancestors have the answers to all their problems and questions. So ofcourse the once who would find the hear would get rewarded ”appropriately".

Thrazir needed a person who could fight, a true weapon master. But also a mage who could learn him how to fully control his powers. Because his family never learned to fully control his powers. So news was being spread the the Great dwarven King was searching for a great mage which could train the young king.

Actions:
• great expansion to the "heart” of the mountain
• search for a mage
• creation of a underground farm

Wall of Attolia

The journey had been long but soon enough the small Kobold emissary was stood before a large wall, a gate sat right in the centre of it. With his typically high pitched kobold voice, the emissary known as Ack-Tun called out.

"Hello! My name is Ack-Tun and I have travelled here on behalf of the leader of the Nation of Itza. We are a nation hundreds of miles away to the south west."

Ack scanned the top of the wall with his eyes as best he could, unsure if anyone was even atop the ramparts.

"Would it be possible for me to speak to someone about potential diplomatic ties?"

Ack stood and waited for a response but not before an elemental of Aloiss arrived. They exchanged pleasantries, awaiting to see what the Kingdom of Attolia intended to do.

King Wolff looked over the maps and looked at the supply chain that would be formed in Attolia. This was a major leap/step in developing Attolia's economy by providing every settlement with a market and other assisting infrastructure and facilities, which would be fruitful and really make use of Attolia's unique position in the Khanzig connection. While King Wolff worked, he heard the sound of people entering the court.

He looked up and saw an odd sight, a lone female goblin. King Wolff spoke up "Allow me to formally welcome you to the Kingdom of Attolia. I thank you for your offer to serve the Kingdom and assist us in this time of uncertainty and growing chaos. Please, settle in first and we'll continue to discuss matters later." as he signaled to an adviser to assist the 4th Mage of the Court of Mages in Attolia.

King Wolff then returned to the Kingdom's map to continue to guide the growing kingdom through to the next age.

Research Projects: (-2 Gold per Research)

1. Research Portal Disruption: The feasibility of portals brings to question. What if the Orcs or other hostiles also had the ability to portal? Could they directly arrive in front of the gates of Attolia itself? Thus, the Kingdom begins to research ways to prevent enemies from teleporting within the Kingdom.

2. Selective Breeding: Our Wolven companions have always been by our sides, just like our trusty steeds. However, what if we could mount our wolves instead into battle?

3. Non-commissioned Officers: Our veterans are a bounty of first hand experience in combat and war. Some should be given promotions to serve as junior officers and advisers to officers and fresh recruits to provide valuable wisdom.

4. Codified Laws: With paper and books abundant in Attolia, it is time that the law be firmly written without ambiguity to provide a more fair justice system for the Kingdom and its people where personal interpretation and subjectivity will not have as strong as an influence as in the past.

5. Psionics Research: With the recent discoveries in astral magic and the mind altering pearl, the Kingdom of Attolia cannot ignore the possibility that it's own people can be turned into weapons against them. Thus, we must research the mind and magic to discover the link between the two.

6. Auxiliary Soldiers: With Elven and Orcish allies, we must begin to find ways to use their natural talents and integrate them with the Attolian military.

7. Domestic Trade: With our widening lands, we have access to most resources that we need. Thus, we should further develop internal trade to improve national economic and financial efficiency.

8. The Pen is Mightier than the Sword: We should research more ways to use diplomacy as a means of furthering the interests of the Kingdom.

Exploration: The North Western most Light Infantry unit and 2 Diplomat Units explore the rumored ruins of Uzhlitz

Turn 17, Month 6 Year 3000 B.C. (Bronze Age)

The diseased civilization was taken in by The Unity, giving them great wealth, but also possible health issues that could threaten to bring them down from the inside out. Inziim watched with interest to see how they would deal with such a situation.

In the meantime, Inziim had an idea that might help spread goodwill, competition and the possibility of gaining an edge in the world at large for the continent. He sent out messengers to all the nations telling them of a Grand Tournament that would be held in neutral territory in a castle in the sky by Inziim The Eternal Watcher.

Letters come as follows:
Dear Illustrious leaders of nations of Khanzhig,
My name is Inziim, the leader of my own nation on this continent known as the Eternal Watcher. I invite you to send your greatest champions to compete in a friendly tournament for which there will be prizes not only for those that compete, but a grand prize for the nation that wins. Enclosed is the meeting location. At your request, the tournament can be magically broadcast to your nation. I eagerly await your response and hope that this can only improve relations between the nations.

Yours truly, Inziim The Eternal Watcher

  "The Itza has arrived, yes!"
  
  Valerie had three Connecting Squares open. One each for Ravus, Osena, and Ragna. They were having something similar to a teleconference. At the same time, they could see the others at work. Ragna was overseeing his student in finishing reports. Osena was watching over a construction. Ravus was teaching Wryn Water how to release a water pulse.
  
  "What do you think of the proposal?" asked Valerie suddenly. The proposal she was talking about refer to the one mentioned in Rana's message. Itza planned to start a large scale forest in their nation. If they were to move there completely...
  
  "It's feasible," Ragna mused. "however, we should not forget our main purpose of leaving Hermit's Rest."
  
  "How was the development of the water base?"
  
  Osena thought before answering.
  "Bad."
  
  "Bad?" Ravus turned to Osena doubtfully. From what he saw, the colony was doing great.
  
  "We are too close to Mara-Sarma. Yet with the ruin here, we cannot leave."
  
  "That is indeed a problem."
  
  "Aloiss Forest is the same," Valerie sighed. "the dwarves are close, according to Ragna. Maybe we should move."
  
  "Most will not agree." Ragna shook his head.
  
  "Then we just need to make them."
  
  The remaining three Elementals stared at Valerie without a word. Every Elementals had their own nature coded into them since cultivation. Most Elementals stayed in Aloiss Forest to wait for the birth of new Spirits. Asking them to leave would be as difficult as asking a pacifist Elemental to kill.
  
  "Rana's report gave me an idea. What is the foundation of life?"
  
  "Nature and essence."
  
  "And our goal is to enrich nature, protect nature, and spread enlightenment to Spirits."
  
  "...yes." Ravus nodded, unsure where Valerie was going with this.
  
  "Then we can just make a tenet to worship nature and enlighten Spirits!"
  
  Ragna raised an eyebrow. "Valerie, by chance, do you intend to...?
  
  "Yup!" She revealed an owlish grin. "I'm going to create a religion!"

  ​
  "Valerie..."
  
  The Earth Elemental could only show a strained smile. He was the only one who knew the evil behind religions. Tartarus was a great example. Naturally, he needed to take into account the inherent nature of Elementals of being protective toward nature. In a way, nature truly was the Elementals' God. Or Goddess, with how Valerie insisted.
  
  "Do as you like," he relented. His eyes fell into a group of Spirits training in Light Golems. They were the group he prepared to accompany him in his journey. After Storn would be able to take over, he wanted to explore the continent more. Magen, the Metal Golem, stared at the Golems with an indescriable feeling. They were her kin, and yet, they were not.
  
  Ragna prepared for his departure.

  "Brom."
  
  Ravus raised an eyebrow. "Brom Water?"
  
  Not too long ago, a letter was sent to Ravus from someone known as Inziim from a nation called Eternal Watcher. It invited them to a martial tournament. Ravus, naturally, wanted to send someone to attend.
  
  "Brom cultivates the Way of Erosion."
  
  Ravus eyes lightened up. Every Elementals strifed for enlightenment, with the end goal of comprehending nature. However, attempting to comprehend nature was a futile attempt. As such, Elementals needed to comrehend the smaller Ways in Nature.
  
  Way of Erosion was a Way shared between Water and Wind Elements. Water was calm, but nothing could stop it from falling. Water was gentle, but nothing could stop it from striking. A water dripping for thousand of years upon a stone will erode the stone until a hole was made in the stone.
  
  "He will do." Ravus assented. He would love to go himself, but he was a Primordial. He had the responsibility of a whole nation in his hands.
  
  Osena nodded in return before turning his eyes to the construction site. No one knew what Wisdom Osena had, but his recent breakingthrough ideas in military made Ravus harboured suspicion of his Wisdom.
  
  "Do remember to visit Mara-Sarma later."
  
  Osena paused. Then he nodded.
  "Plan?"
  
  "Trade or war." Ravus answered simply.
  
  The matter of ancient ruin was too great of a secret to have. Mara-Sarma was not a weak opponent, as shown by their great Magic Construct. Ravus had two plans for them. Trade, and held an amiable relationship, or war.
  
  To eliminate a threat, one needed to be thorough.

Kingdom of Tartarus​

A mysterious letter, from a mysterious figure upon the continent who possessed the wealth and power to host a tournament and invite possible hostile nations to participate. Then there was also the mention of a sky island. Maat’s eyes narrowed and it became clear that he was irritated by this letter’s very existence. The day had begun with such promise, but now it had become full of problems.

In the offices of the overseers’, Ptolemy worked tirelessly to plan the kingdom’s next steps towards improvement. He was certain of his ideas at the moment and although lacking sleep, he was awake purely because of excitement. This would be something an Internal Advisor had not done in all of Tartarus’ history. Now armed with several assistance, his workload was much lighter, so he handed out tasks to each one of them. “Take these to the correct people, and don’t walk, run.” As the sun came into his office for the first time today, Ptolemy stood up from behind his desk and grinned. His assistants raced out of the offices, scurrying all across the capital.

Khaleeda, Raere
They had managed to find a few riches, but this cold weather was unbearable, and this sheet of ice that covered the ground was a nuisance. Luckily she was armed with fire magic and that was enough to keep her warm. “May the king and divines damn this sunless place.” She cursed as fires spewed out of her palm and melted the snow in their path. The only comfort was that in the distance she could see smoke and the sound of a city was faint, but there. With anticipation boiling over, she willed herself forward until she came to the massive city of this foreign state.

Yomi
In the Capital, Maat discussed construction plan, prices, and time constraints for his newest project. The totals presented to him were not pleasing. To build his latest wonder would bankrupt the kingdom, far worse than this previous time. Several ideas swirled around in his head, but each one would take time. That was when he recalled the tournament and the invitation that he received. The grand prize from this event could perhaps solve his current problem, as well as improve other aspects of the state. “Ensure that the Chariot of Styx is in proper condition. I will be entering this...tournament to claim the grand prize.” There wasn’t an ounce of confidence missing from Maat’s voice when he made the announcement, but Ptolemy was worried. Before he could voice his opinion however, he was overshadowed by a sudden crescendo of applause from the others.

It seemed they would have their work cut out for them and now more than ever, Ptolemy was glad to have assistants.

Actions:
1. Khaleeda moves north (1 tile) and attempts to meet with the leader(s) of the city.
2. Begin upgrade of capital.
3. Build marketplace in Shedet.
4. Build Marketplace in Nekhen.

  Hanon stood in his war room, planning the next phase of operations. There was much to do, and he was going to see it through. As he stirred in thought, a messenger arrived and hastily presented a letter. The seal was different from any he had seen before, but it seemed quite lustrous. Hanon sighed deeply and set the letter aside, assuming it to be a contact request by some distant king. He had received them before, and he always ignored them. He placed his hands to his table, keeping his focus to his map, but the messenger stood anxiously nearby. Hanon turned his gaze to the young woman and said softly;
  
  "Why do you linger? Your job is done."
  
  "Good Uniter," she started, "The message came from a strange individual. He vanished immediately after he delivered it. I...I figured it must be important to come from someone so specter-like."
  
  "Like a phantom he came and left?" he questioned. His hands slid carefully to the letter, examining it once again. The material was strange, almost too clean to be regular papyrus or paper.
  
  "Yes, good Uniter." Hanon took a deep breath and sliced open the envelope. The letter itself was beautifully written, and in a northern Khanzig tongue to boot. He read over it carefully, taking in each and every word with grace. The messenger rubbed her hands together, becoming more anxious as she watched her Uniter's face grow grim. He set down the paper and rubbed his face, scowling at his map. "Wh-what does it say?"
  
  "Something I'd considered, but not that which I'd hoped," he said vaguely. "It's a tournament-one between all of the nations of Khanzig. One champion is sent, and a 'reward' of some kind is given to the winning nation."
  
  "That doesn't seem too terrible?"
  
  "It's not the tournament that bothers me," explained Hanon, "Ever since I gained insight from the forest, I've had the slightest feeling that I'm being watched. Originally, I shrugged it off as a consequence of my sudden influx of mystical energy, but this letter all but confirms my suspicions." He set the letter down and paced a few steps from the table with a hand cupped to his chin. "This could mean all sorts of things for the state of our nation. If someone truly is watching us, could it be they are orchestrating things behind the scenes as well? Could we be in danger? There's so much to learn from this event- that which most may not even consider. I have to send a champion to compete so that we can learn more about this 'Eternal Watcher.'"
  
  "Who will you send?" He pondered this question for a minute. Then, he eyed his blade with a gentle expression and sheathed it again. He adjusted his clothing and rolled up the map of the Khanzig.
  
  "Myself," he answered, "I will go alone. I'll use this opportunity to learn of the other kingdoms along the Khanzig, and see if I can learn anything about this 'watcher.' I can't trust anyone else to understand the importance of this task, so I will go alone. Send word to Aldrui; he will take care of things while I'm gone. I want that construction guild up and running as soon as possible, and I want him to prep Uzhlitz immediately for vaccination. It is absolutely crucial that those people get their medicine. We'll cure this plague as soon as we can."
  
  The messenger saluted the taller man. "Yes, Uniter! Immediately!" With that, she turned and dashed from the room. Word spread quickly of Hanon's choice to enter the tournament, but of the day many things were completed. The messenger appeared in Aldrui's research center and gave him the news. Aldrui immediately altered his tasks, preparing military movement and starting new constructions to speed things up back home while Hanon was away. Over the next few days, medicine was prepared and shipped over to Uzhlitz to be passed to the civilians. New structures were built to empower the Unity even further. The power of the Unity was growing at an exponential rate, and in strange directions.

Itzan Capital

Tokotol smiled as he read the letter from Inziim. Their recent conversation had been such a pleasant one and now he was looking to bring all the races together in a tournament. While he fully expected the dwarves and Tartarus to be there, he had hopes that other nations would be in attendance also. From the map Inziim had provided him several weeks prior there were plenty of other nations to meet. For him he had high hopes that they would be more like their close friends from Aloiss but the reality was he wasn't sure who he would meet. Inziim was clearly powerful as a result of his technology so whoever was sent by Tokotol would likely be safe even in a combat setting.

"I am sure you have read this my friend," the giant Kroakun addressed his famed advisor TikTaq, "We should send Xaka."

TikTaq nodded in agreement. Xaka was the youngest ever Scar Veteran and had an intelligence that far surpassed his saurian kin. "I think that would be a wise choice, he clearly has the talent for combat but his intelligence is the reason it would be best to send him."

"So it is settled...we send Xaka at sun rise," replied Tokotol. Much of the business he conducted was done under the blanket of the stars, a time where only the sounds of the forest could be heard as most of Itza slumbered.

Ready to move on, TikTaq craned his head upwards towards the Itzan leader. "We have had reports of strange goings on deep in the forest. Our feral kin have been acting most strangely, even the trees themselves seem disturbed."

Tokotol sat listening to the words of TikTaq and it confirmed a feeling he had recently been overcome with. He had felt something stirring within the deepest recesses of the jungle but it's true nature was unknown to him. It could be something good but equally could be something bad and for whatever the eventuality, they needed to be ready.

"TikTaq please arrange for an expedition into the forest. We must learn what is happening one way or another."

As TikTaq made notes on the small scroll in his hands Tokotol looked upwards as he often did at times of great change.

"We have expanded a great distance from our island...but we need more. Our population grows and we must ensure we have the capability to provide sustenance for it." Lowering his slender arms Tokotol presented his advisor with a duplicated version of the map Inziim had provided. The difference here was the vast difference in size of Itzan territory. "These plans dictate what I have called the Great Expansion. It is the biggest expansion we have or will ever likely have." Tokotol returned his glance down towards TikTaq. "These cities are beyond simple hubs for our people to live in but are a combination of farming cities and ports to ensure that we have the food to support our ever growing population. What I must make clear is that the expansion will continue up the western region of South Khansig. Once we reach the sea to the north and the marsh to the right, we must stop. The Kingdom of Tartarus is the other side of the marsh and the terrain will make a natural divide for our nations. With this land claimed, we will be able to produce more than enough food for ourselves. In fact, I hope that our surplus can act as a way to show people that we have no ill intention towards anyone else. We can offer to support these other nations with our vast farmlands and hopefully prepare ourselves for whatever darkness stirs."

TikTaq took the map in hand, his eyes opening wide at the sheer scale of the expansion. He motioned to speak, to share his opinion but quickly stopped himself. He simply bowed in recognition of his duties and smiled at his friend. Inside he knew the work would be hard and would push the limits of his people but the pay off would help them in the long term. Initial doubt was replaced with pure bewonderment.

Meanwhile...At the Orc city...

As the Orc city came into view the diplomat Hoken smiled, the first foreign city he had the fortune to see. It was wildly different from the Itzan architecture and had a strong, sturdy wall around it. As he and his party approached he ordered the salamander handlers to dismount and rest, leaving him and the Aloiss diplomat to approach the gate alone. The surrounding around was scattered with various battlefield debris, making it clear that some time ago there was some level of conflict.

Reaching the gate Hoken smiled wide and let out a loud call. "Hello there! Greetings to you! My name is Hoken and this is Sodia Earth. We have travelled from the nations of Itza and Aloiss and seek an audience with your leader to guess the possibility of trade or even diplomatic terms.

Meanwhile...At the wall of Attolia...

The journey had been long but soon enough the small Kobold emissary was stood before a large wall with his unit of salamander handlers and the Aloiss diplomat. The salamander handlers had all dismounted and began to allow their salamanders to graze freely. They looked more explorers than warriors. With his typically high pitched kobold voice, the emissary known as Ack-Tun called out.

"Hello! My name is Ack-Tun and and this is Winna Cold, we have travelled here on behalf of the nations of Itza and Aloiss. We have come a great distance from the south west and are looking to talk about the possibility of trade or even diplomacy."

Ack scanned the top of the wall with his eyes as best he could, unsure if anyone was even atop the ramparts. Ack and Winna waited patiently.

After an especially colorful night to send off their warrior, the caravans had resumed to a slow, quiet pace. The weather was calm enough for them to get to destiny faster than anticipated, and stopping on the Unity's cities had become a welcome delight. Some were considering staying in them, but the sting of curiosity and wanderlust that came with their kind stopped them from doing it. The market was flourishing, slowly growing as it picked up trends and designs from the places it left behind. They were steadily becoming more and more of an actual tribe than the remnants of a shipwreck, and most of them agreed it was a relief to have come this far nearly unscathed.

'Most', a group Klothe wasn't a part of. The peace and quiet were eating him alive.

Well, to be fair, it was the lack of chaos that was getting to his nerves. After months of fleeing, fighting, lying and making their way as they could on hostile nations, this new wave of calmness seemed wrong, somewhat, to him more than anyone, and he had grown restless as the weeks went by. Not having someone with who to chatter about the pettiest things possible was also a factor on it, and it might have been a mix of all of these plus worrying that ended up with the Rai asking a nearby music shop to lend him a guitar to play on the plaza. The first notes were hurried and messy, but he could get a good pace in after a short while. It had been ages since he didn't play. A couple of Haras marking the rhythm was enough to get a small group dancing to the music, and they keep on it until dawn.

It wasn't a party under the stars, or in the middle of nowhere in the ocean, or the chaos of scampering out of a place, but for now, dancing and singing had to be enough chaos for the group.

Turn 18, Month 7 Year 3000 B.C. (Bronze Age)

The winters have begun to fully subside as the weather starts to warm up slightly. Soon enough, the white snow will give way to the wonderful color of the trees and the flowers. The tournament is under full swing now and all the participants will at least be getting some measure of gain for their country of origin. Inziim was completing his own preparations to get ready for the future if things went south as they had many times before in the past. But he has high hopes that things will proceed smoothly this time with these nations and their leaders.

[HanShootsFirst]

Outside the Mage’s School, Akata, Arrisia

James stood smiling at the group of young mages most of whom were finishing their training. One young man stood out, his dark blue skin and black hair drew the eye to him but his stature was small and unintimidating. James watched his eyes narrowed and picked apart the boys magic. It was technical and cold, every motion calculated. James admired the technique, it was nearly as good as his own. As the boy continued the cool air of the early spring chilled ever so slightly and a thin layer of ice formed around his hands before extending into the air the crystals merging together inch by inch. First a handle, then a hilt, and eventually a blade extended across his chest coming to a point just past his shoulder.

James’ mind exploded at the sight he was seeing. Even he couldn’t summon a weapon from magic and this weapon was unlike any he had seen. The long slender blade would be of little use on the battlefield where slashing was the most useful. James wanted to test this mage and his blade, after which he wanted to learn about him. James grabbed a bronze sword and gestured to Alex to stay back and Rita was in a group training nearby.

James held the sword up and stood in front of the boy, “Where did you learn to make a blade like that?” He asked inspecting his own blade.

“I didn’t sire. It’s simply the shape the ice prefers,” the boy said eyeing James suspiciously.

“And how fast can you summon it?”

“Immediately if I have to,” his speech was steady and calm, the boy knew who James was but was not afraid of the legendary man.

“Disarm yourself boy, I would like to see what you can do myself,” the boy complied and James lowered his sword, “Begin!” he shouted lunging at the boy with the sword only for his blade to be stopped by the slender piece of ice.

James quickly slid his foot between the boys leg and attempted to knock him to the ground. His foot slid over the dirt only to miss completely and the boy lunged backwards. James growled and raised his empty hand causing his own ice to propel itself nearly striking the boy. Only to see the blade of ice coming straight for his chest and stopping just short of his heart. James wasn’t sure what happened, the boy moved unexplainably quickly. He hadn’t had a chance to strike back before the boy had him. James couldn’t help but smile and lower his sword and raising his free hand admitting defeat. “What is your name boy?” he asked.

“I don’t have a name sire. I’m an orphan,” he said a soft smile across his face.

“Well, I suppose you need to pick one, I’m sending you to a tournament to represent Arrisia. I expect you to do great things. You will of course be compensated, should you choose to go.”

“Of course sire, please call me Vrosk” the boy said allowing his sword to dissolve.

Several Days Later

“Alex we need to expand north more. We have plenty of money and there is plenty of land for our people. Let us claim more land.”

-----------------------------------Actions---------------------------------
Three Units of Conscripts are sent out to claim additional land

  "Ragnaaa!"
  
  Ragna got a headache hearing the voice. With a heavy heart, he turned around, wishing he just misheard something. Unfortunately, what greeted him was a blue-ish white owl, flying without any hint of grace to his head.
  
  Worshipping of Mother Nature was accepted surprisingly easily by the Elementals. The tenets were what the Elementals were already used to. Even Ragna had no objection. The only difference was the personification of nature and Mother Nature and even that was vague. The result of the creation of the religion was this: the huge migration of Elementals from Aloiss Forest to the mountain.
  
  With the extra people, Ragna had more time to put in the Nurture of Forest Ritual. Valerie, after being chatty and pestering him for hours, flew back to Aloiss Forest.

"-and finally, the winner of the first ever food competition in this beautiful city is Corelein the Chomper, by a spectacular twelve pies more than any other contestant. You're a pride to the Unity and us, ma'am!"

Klothe was sure it didn't begin as a competition, but was glad it turned out like one. If not, they would have had to run their tails off the small settlement, as people really don't appreciate happy, giddy, and uninvited big eaters. Specially if it's just one giant guest who has a seemingly endless pit as a stomach. Regardless, one of the Haras managed to make the food massacre look like a game, and paid the cook some gold before anything had the chance to escalate. In about an hour, more people joined and paid their share, and by the end of the day, everyone in the make-shift settlement finished their day considerably heavier (in the good sense, and the chef, in the best of senses; He hadn't won so much gold in a sole day in years). People don't tend to mind waste when it's an excuse to celebrate something, and Klothe was thankful for it. The small town happy, music on the streets, and food all around...

Why did he still feel doom would strike soon?

Maybe it was the hunch that the place was a bit too receptive to strangers randomly organising parties. Maybe it was the that they seemed to be looking for a distraction, or trying to hold on to whatever familiar feeling the tribe could provide, instead of dwelling on bad thoughts. Klothe found himself rushing to finish constructions, resupply the caravans and train conscripts, completely opposite of his usual carefree self. He hoped his gut was wrong, a fruit of anxiety, but tried to prepare for a worst case scenario anyways. Olle would have done that. Maybe a bit late, but a bit more prepared is better that not at all, right?

Whatever was ticking this place and his senses off, he wasn't too excited to find out what it was, and that fact sent a chill up his spine. They could just pray and what had to happen next, would happen.

Things within Itza had begun to move forward very fast. The great expansion continued and with the rapid expansion of technology it felt as if the Nation was beginning to pull ahead of many of the other nations. Tokotol, as a sign of this, ordered the construction of the Great Pyramid of Itza. A true wonder, a pyramid that would dwarf most cities, in tribute to the Old Gods.

Kingdom of Tartarus


Khaleeda, North Khanzhig
The Grand Explorer had been away from the deserts of home for quite some time now, but whatever despair she might have felt was drowned out by the high she was on. Being the first of her people to travel so far from home and seeing so many strange things put her on cloud nine. After having spent so much time in Raere however, she still felt as though there was more to learn, especially when it came to their sciences and magics. So she Sent word to her ship and crew to inform them of her decision.

Ptolemy, Tartarus
Once again the king was gone, but this time he’d taken the Chariot of Styx with him, a choice that didn’t make Ptolemy feel any better. Their king seemed to be working towards something and every decree only appeared to further this secret agenda of his. And now this new building he wished to have constructed was weighing on Ptolemy’s mind, and pockets. However, he couldn’t let the ambitions of his king distract him.

As he approached the city gates where a shrouded figure stood, Ptolemy kept his guard up and his wits about him. The unknown outsider had made a few citizens anxious and with their god away, many speculated that a devil stood at their gates. “My name is Ptolemy! Advisor to the God-King of Tartarus!” His eyes remained focused on the stranger and as he tried to figure them out, he stepped a bit closer. “What brings you to our kingdom!?”

Turn 19, Month 8 Year 3000 B.C. (Bronze Age)

Spring is now in full swing as the weather has become much warmer and the flowers are in full bloom, beautifying areas that were once covered in thick snow. It is a time for renewal of life and new beginnings.

All of a sudden as though teleported out from nowhere a series of ships arrived and with them, hundreds if thousands of troops and equipment from across the sea. Heavily armored figures stomp down and crunch the sand at the various beach heads where they arrived. One of them lifts the visor up from his helmet and takes a deep breath of fresh air. "Ahhh. You smell that boys? It's the smell of those about to be ground into the dirt and become another notch of victory in our belts."

The other ORCS yell out in enthusiasm as they move forward with supplies, weapons and all around general danger to the continent of Khanzig. Some of them charge forward at a nearby city and before long, it is up in flames. The tides of war are among them now and in a full force swing.

The nations of Serenia, Ludia Maroza, and Avalon have been crushed and conquered by invading forces

[Northless]

Klothe was pacing in circles inside the tent, tail rhythmically following his step. He looked tense, gaze fixed on the ground he stepped in. "I can't ask them to risk their lives for people they barely know."

Err'i raised an eyebrow, smiling. Her patterns fit perfectly with the ones on the tent's wall, and it made her look more like part of the scenery than anything else. "They have been risking more for less, for a long time now, Rei. Have you forgot?" She got up from her seat slowly, but with the mannerisms of someone who was used to order, honor and discipline. Klothe couldn't help it but stop and look at her, as if anything else would have been disrespectful, or dangerous, even, in any other scenario. She was a Sahe Jar, after all; A warrior retired of the battlefield from old age. One of the only ones in the tribe, she exuded respect. "You yourself have been doing it too. We fought alongside strangers for the chance to live, for our freedom. What were the odds we would get to meet each other before or after? To all of us to make it out of-"

"Not all of us." He bit his tongue immediately after that, but stood by his words. Some had already fought by his orders. Some had already died by his orders. The least he could do now was remember them.

The only thing he could do now was remember.

"Not all of us." Err'i agreed, calmly, looking up and down at the distraught leader. He was at least three decades younger than her, but towered over her smaller figure. "You led us, every last one that is here right now, out of the storm more than once. We all believe you can do it again. Wouldn't you now?"

"I would die for any of them," He took a deep breath, suddenly feeling tired. Outside, it was unsurprisingly quiet, the whole tribe waiting for him to make a decision. The air felt heavier. "I can't ask the same from them."

A hint of worry slipped in the warrior's kind smile, he noticed. Her voice didn't waver. "Be it a fight or a war, we can't let this poor people fight on their own, not after how much they've helped us."

"Oh, but we can. Integrity is overrated." Klothe snapped, the last couple of months finally showing their toll on him. He wanted to stop talking, but couldn't, word vomiting at no one in particular. "We can hide under the walls and act like we never existed. We can run, run and run and run and outrun the orcs, or we can take another ship and hope the ocean doesn't swallow us up this time. We can hope Illya is still with us and hasn't got bored yet. We can hope we'll survive if we decided we're too big cowards to-"

Smack. His cheek stung where he was slapped back to reality, Err'is reddish eyes looking fiercely through him. "Call us cowards again and I'll make you eat your tail."

He took a deep breath, lowering himself down until he could sit back on a chair. "I didn't got them out of a cage to have them die on the battlefield."

Her expression softened, and he could swear right there she would have looked exactly like Olle had her fur been darker. He couldn't help but look away from her at that. He didn't want to think she may be in danger, or worse... "I know your heart is good, Klothe. I know you care, and you worry, for them and for her." Was he that obvious? "I understand maybe no one has asked this of you before... But now, you're more than a lost conman. You're the Rai. Our Rai, and we trust you with our lives. Whatever you choose to do, we'll stand by that."

"You're the Rai, so act like it!"
Ah, about time to get around that, no? He couldn't have lived with himself if he didn't at least provide help, but to be honest... He needed to talk about it, go-to warrior gone for the time being.

He thanked the Jar, apologized for his behavior, and walked out of the tent to inform the tribe.

  The Great Northern Wall had finished its construction. It was a massive monument to the power of the Unity and the collaboration of its people. It was unguarded for the time being, but that wasn't a problem. For now, other plans had been made to inhabit all the territory currently within the wall. The people rejoiced at the newfound creations placed within their kingdom.
  
  Then Critona invaded.
  
  The Unity wasn't hit directly, but the people within the kingdom were tightly knit, and news spread quickly. Very quickly. At first, only the southern farmers and solo settlers had any word of the invasion, but the rumor quickly spread North. Overlook soon had the information, and the military post service managed to get it to the Capital. Eventually, the word of Serenia's fall had reached the Good Uniter's ears. The people had spoken for him. Fury engulfed the Unity. A fire of passion and outrage spread across the land in only a day and a half's time. Soldiers had already begun mobilizing South under orders from higher command. A military outpost was set up some clicks South of the wall, and it was immediately occupied by a variety of soldiers. The Unity's voices had joined together in a chorus of rage, and no response would silence the choir.
  
  Some soldiers set up careful positions along the camp, barricading any entry via land from Serenian territory. Soldiers stood at the ready, prepared to tear down any military force that attempted to make its way further into the Khanzig. While defenses were set, a lone Sharpshooter made his way along the plains. He came to a tall hill just outside of the invading territory. He produced a letter written by the Uniter himself. It was sealed in black, with the page itself enveloped in dark ink and thick borders. He carefully tied the letter to a single arrow and notched it in his longbow. With great force, he pulled back the arrow and aimed to the sun. By the time it landed, the soldier was long gone. The letter would be retrieved inevitably by the invading force, with its words printed clearly for any to read;
  
  "To those in charge of this invasion.
  
  The mistake you've made is one you will never forget. Serenia was a quiet kingdom, and it had done little to harm the world around it. Its people were content, and the land it occupied unperturbed. It was a place of peaceful living where few came seeking refuge. You have disturbed this peace. This has not gone unnoticed. You have committed a crime unknowable, and performed acts of violence unprecedented. You have insulted the way of life here, and you have taken that which doesn't belong to you. You plan on taking more, and all these crimes we cannot abide. You will know repercussions for your atrocities and your bloodshed.
  
  This is not a call for surrender. This is not an offer of peace. This is not a compromise. This is not a warning. You engraved your fate in this world when you spilled blood, and we shall be the court that places your neck in the noose. Violence for violence, an eye for an eye.
  
  Make your peace while you can.

"But...I-I don't understand...How? When?"

"How? When? The day we went missing was the day we have been chosen! To bear witness and testify to the coming of the Dark Ones and the restarting of the cycle!" The robed man explains

"Why not sacrifice me then? I've been here the longest, I should've been the one to sacrificed, not my master!" Lothrop pleads

"The goblins have taken a liking to you. You make a decent nurse for them so I decided to let them have you for now. Besides, I sacrificed your master as the Dark Ones had instructed me. Your master must be tested. They must know for sure if he is the one they desire." The robed figure turns around and looks back to the giant church doors

"How...How did this happen?" Lothrop asks

"We were summoned. The Dark Ones willed it and so it was. They needed more to join their fold for their future endeavor. The day in which the cycle will start again!" The figure proclaims maniaclly
------------------
Agares lets out n agonizing roar before he pulls back his hand and tries to swipe Jelich up. Jelich manages to hop back from Agares' attack but not without getting his robe torn. Agares swings at him him with his other arm but Jelich hops back again. He pouts his arms out in front of him"_". He generates a yellow orb, which widens itself along the length of his hand. Once it is fully charged, it fires a wide, horizontal arc of yellow energy at Agares. Agares jumps up into the air above Jelich's head, evading the attack before before landing and about to slamming his fists into the ground. Jelich puts his hands up "Magidome!" a blue, runic dome covers him and Agares hits the dome but the sheer force practically cracks it "Agares, get a hold of yourself! You don't know what you're doing!"

"Do not pretend to know me, Jelich! I am fully aware of what I do! I hunger, Jelich! It is all I've known! And right now! You're blood can liberate me from this Dark world I have suffered for almost a decade!" Agares begins to repeatedly punch at the dome until it eventually breaks

Before the spell could hit him, Agares dashes backwards, while scrapping his claws against the floor "What tremendous speed..." Jelich says in astonishment before dashes forward. Agares grabs Jelich and proceeds to drag him around across the cathedral, before jumping and slamming him against a pillar, then jumping and slamming him against the room; followed by them plummeting as slamming Jelich into the floor. Jelich can feels his body trembling and shaking. He coughs violently and his mind whirls in a daze. Agares looks down at Jelich, his mouth drooling with black ooze. "Feed me, brother....Feed me and together we can both be greater than our tormentors. Our aggressors. Our beholders...." Agares slowly lifts Jelich towards his mouth and opens his black, oily maw. "We can be greater than them all...Hrrrgggkkk."

Jelich looks into the abyss of his former brother's mouth and fear fills his mind but so does the want to survive "Goodbye Agares....Lightning Prison!" streaks of lightning crashes through the cathedral and surround Agares. Agares looks around in confusion, only to realize that he's entrapped. "I pray that despite your hideous form...The Empyre still accepts you...DIVINE STRIKE!" All the pillars of lightning close in and strike Agares with great power. He yells out in agonizing pain as he can feel his body convulsing violently from the oversurge. Agares falls back to his hands, letting go of Jelich in the process

Jelich scrambles away from Agares and looks back to him to see him on his hands and knees. His body smoking, and black ooze seeping out from the large open pores in his skin. Agares spits out some of the ooze towards Jelich but luckily only reaches his foot. He breathes and coughs furiously before taking one last look at Jelich. "Yes...Now...." His eyes blackens again another voice can be heard speaking from his mouth "Go! Hasten your endeavors...Your ambitions! Seek the forgotten truth! Restart the cyle...Only then may we all will be...Free...Hrggggkkk..." with those last words, Agares collapses to the ground, his body melting into black ooze, which begins to stretch across the cathredral floor. The large rune on the door glows brightly behind Jelich before disappearing entirely. With one last look to at the ooze that was once Agares, Jelich heads towards the doors to exit the cathedral.​

 

[LadyOfStars]

Kingdom of Tartarus​

Capital
The city had never looked so wondrous, not in all the centuries of the kingdom’s life. Throughout the city the commoners cheered their sovereign’s name, praising and worshipping his success. The walls were sturdy, the streets were clean, it was truly a new dawn on the Helian Empire. Although the citizenry didn’t know of their leader’s absence, Ptolemy and the other leaders ran the kingdom as if their God-King was present. They made decisions together and only enacted decrees that benefitted the kingdom.

Ptolemy, Yomi
“So we’re agreed? Next order of business will be to focus on completing his Majesty’s grand design and building the kingdom’s military might.” His assistants rose up from their desks, each one with their own assignments, and as the royal advisor stood, they bowed their heads and rushed out the doors. He was grateful to the king for these offices that allowed them to get more work done.

The advisor himself paid a visit to the construction guilds and the slave masters who owned each one. “Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the king’s latest ambition!” A large canvas was unfurled, curving the entire wall, revealing the designs for a pyramid that levitated over the city. “Every slave in the kingdom must be set to this task and no expenses shall be spared. This structure shall be the crowning jewel of the continent and the greatest gift the god and goddess have ever given to our people.” The office erupted in cheers and applause, something Ptolemy didn’t truly care for, but it was good to excite the people.

With the declaration made, the capital began work on the grand project. The Pyramid of Maat would be completed before anyone could notice the King was missing.

Actions:
1. Construct Pyramid of Maat (Sacrifice two slaves and use 1 action to rush construction)
2. Awaken Dune Warriors (+3 tombs)
3. Awaken Dune Warriors (+3 tombs)

"Tokotol we have received reports that one of our mainland settlements is under siege by a people similar to those who spread the poison throughout our land." TikTaq spoke open and honestly with his leader, as he always did. "If we do not respond soon then the city will fall to these invaders."

The Kroakun heard the words but paid them no mind. He was fully aware of the situation and he had already set about how he would repel the invaders. "My dear friend, a war isn't simply won or lost in the first skirmish. I have faith that our people will hold but in the mean time I want to muster a force, the kind which this world has never before seen. One that will dwarf those who invade our land and allow us to move onward and completely remove this plague from our lands."

Tokotol had always come across as a resolute pacifist in the time had ruled the Nation but this was the first time his true ruthlessness was on show to TikTaq. He was resolute and sure of his peoples capability to defend themselves, but even more sure that he would not allow the attackers to survive. The Itzan had shown mercy on numerous occassions previously but these invaders had their one and only chance and now it was time for Tokotol and his people to show them, and the world, what happens if you attack the peaceful nation.

"My more immediate concern however is the poison which is within our lands. I want you to gather our most intelligent researchers to look at this so that we can stop any further spread of the poison within our border. While our military ranks will surely swell, we can ill afford to watch our feral brethren fall to this nasty cocktail." Tokotol turned and looked at the erected scaffolding which housed the beginning of the Great Pyramid of Itza, taking a minute to take in its massive scale. "As for you..." TikTaq craned his head upwards to look at the Kroakun, who turned to meet his friends eyes. "...I need you to lead our forces against this threat. You have more than proven your worth to me and to our people but there is nobody who can inspire our forces like you. It pains me to put you in harms way but I know that with you leading our armies, we will certainly taste victory."

The Kobold advisor smiled wide, his hide scarred from the amount of battles he had been involved in, in such a short period of time. "While I do enjoy our time together discussing matters of state, I cannot hide the fact that the call of battle is a strong one." TikTaq knelt down and place his arm across his chest in salute to the Grand Mage. "I will lead our forces against this foe and will not return until our lands are safe from their threat."

Tokotol smiled before stepping down from his palanquin to embrace the far smaller being. "Thank you my friend. Ensure you return to our people safely."

  Inside the walls, the fury burned brighter than the sun. City construction wasn't halted, but workers struggled to complete their duties under the flame of their hatred. Everywhere across the country, the people of the Unity were singing a song of war, raging in the streets and preparing themselves for the possibility of invasion. Capital orders were sent down to the military settlement to prep more soldiers and destroy the invading force as quickly as possible. Defensive units with massive shields along with powerful knights prepared themselves for a push. Materials made their way to the barracks of the small camp, and the soldiers inside steeled themselves for the fight of their lives.
  
  Knights ground their blades sharp enough to cut the horizon, and arrows were prepped for the hearts they would pierce. The mystics spoke their words and prayed for the safety of their fellow men in battle. When the dawn came, a sharpshooter's voice echoed out among the camp, signaling the approach of invading soldiers. The newly appointed heavy guard moved in first, shields up and ready to take the brunt of the damage. The knights followed in close behind, their blades already midswing by the time they came face-to-face with their attackers. Metal clashed against metal, blade into flesh and blood to the ground. The rage of the Unity soldiers was palpable as they pushed against the minuscule first wave. As their clash continued, a voice could be heard from the mystics behind the frontline;
  
  "Storm!" yelled Ene-Moirai, a speaker of the mystic forest, "Storm! Shields up!"
  
  The forward troops took back four paces and raised their shields to the sky. It was silent for only a second before a storm of arrows blotted the sun and littered the field. Bodies that had already hit the dirt became unrecognizable, and when the arrows finally subsided, the forward troops continued their assault. Meanwhile, the mystics aided their teammates with light healing while simultaneously throwing Mystic forest Vines to their enemy. The vines violently assaulted anything they didn't recognize, the Orcish invaders included. The violence between the two sides was immeasurable, and this was only the first wave.
  
  Time could only tell exactly how this fight would go.
