Anagaea II – A New Age of Empires [1117 AD]

[Swat 3]

"Likewise, Cassian missionaries arrive in the Cassian region in Avalonia, from Albiton.  These missionaries teach, and begin to restructure the systems in the Cassian belief within Avalonia.  (Plethora)"

Did you not even read?

Atenisia gave up its attempts at spreading the Cassian religion in the Avalonian region due to some bad apples and the King's ungodly way of spreading the true religion, which he's was already forgiven for by Albiton.
Albiton sent better missionaries and religious officals that we allowed to exocommunicate/ship back the radical ones who were not trained well enough in spreading the Catholic religion up to par of Avalonian culture.

Current assembly vote is 1-0 for Avalonian guarantee of independence. How vote the assembly?

[Plethora]

Did you not even read?

I did, actually.  Although there has been some softening in the Cassian approach, the Avalonian Council has decided that there's just been too much upheaval associated with the whole affair, and is halting it.  Missionaries from Albiton will be allowed back in in fifty years if all goes smoothly, and missionaries from the dishonorable nation of Atensia, God willing, will never plague the fair lands of Avalonia again.  The whole thing is an attempt to kick the issue further down the road where it can be resumed and dealt with in a better way.

[SWAT One]

In Avalonia:

The Cassian Christians maintain a small portion of the Avalonian territory, no more that 20% of the total main land.  These people remain peaceful.  While the rest of Avalonia seems to deal blows against it, many religious leaders in the area instruct the people not to strike back, saying "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword."  The Native Avalonian Cassian Christians hold instead, that greater honor is found through love and charity, than by rigid persecution.  The region does not resist, and as a result, several mobs enter to flay the Cassians Christians, and defile their belongings.

Concerning S. Calzone:

They recognize their political alignment and citizenship as Avalonian, and swear loyalty to Avalonia, call themselves Avalonian citizens, but not ethnically Avalonian.

Concerning Galaumia:

The assembly's vote follows as thus:
Galaumia – Affirmative
Irajinad – Negative
Haman – Abstaining
Osamar – Affirmative

In a seperate delegation:
Osamar and Haman fledge their full support.

Concerning Swat 3:
PLEASE observe rule 8.  I don't want any more arguing in the thread.

[Swat 3]

Atenisia ceases all religious activity in Avalonia.

[mlockha]

god damn ittttttttttttttttttttt i hate ABSTAINING
ARGH
Galaumia mentions to Irajinad that the Empire of the Four Crowns could have Avalonia as a vital ally. They provide much needed trading materials, have a very large population, have naval routes and can trade with a large majority of the known world. They also have a large military and are rigid in honor and discipline, two things that are important to Frankish, and I assume North African culture as well. A guarantee of independence would make these two nations stronger. Also we'll give you gold if you agree.

[Plethora]

Atenisia ceases all religious activity in Avalonia.

As if you had a choice.

The army is called in to suppress the religious violence.  When Avalonia says it has a commitment to law and order, that doesn't mean just to those following the native religion.

[Oasis]

Hlaohamarr:  Aldegar manages to hold the line against Hlaoman forces, repress guerrilla action behind the lines, and inflict somewhat more damage to Hlaoman forces than they received.  The war, in their eyes, is a stalemate, and they see fit to secure and keep the land they have rather than face the grueling task of taking the rest of Hlaohamarr, unless things should change.  (NPC:  40%)

forget em, we're still pushing forwards.

More detail in later posts.

[SWAT One]

Irajinad refuses the bribe, but accepts the reasoning.

[mlockha]

Irajinad refuses the bribe, but accepts the reasoning.

woah
WOah
WOAH
MY ALLIANCE MEMBERS ACTUALLY LISTEN TO REASON
OMG THIS IS AMAZING
THANK YOU
well anyways the envoy is sent home with food and water, on horseback, with a letter stating that the guarantee of independence has been granted for avalonia
may both our nations prosper in these great times ahead

[Plethora]

Avalonian merchants begin to make their way to Galaumia.  After getting a good bearing as to where approximately it is, a road is proposed between Avalonia's Northeastern colony and that city in Haman that's farthest West (right now sea travel is just a lot cheaper than travel by road, and building a road there would ensure the minimum amount of road distance and go through an already used port, so no need to build new facilities; as it is, if it weren't for the fear that the Holy Nations might persecute Avalonian ships, there would probably be an expedition to find a good harbor site closer to Zesisoter to avoid the long road through Rivus Major).

The envoy reports the news to the AC (Avalonian Council - I'm just going to abbreviate it henceforth).  The Council is happy with the result, and resolves to aid the Four Crowns, and particularly Galaumia at the next opportune time.

Der Ordnung der Goldenen Löwen denounces the Cassian faith and its effects on Avalonia, and bans Cassians from membership.  As the Order is the way by which many achieve monetary success and improve their status in the community, this causes some distress among Cassian Avalonians.  The Order does, however, note that it is dishonorable to defraud anyone, regardless of religion.

Over time the nation expanded to include the nomadic Winouak and the reclusive Navaro. Many other citizens are of foreign descent, the nation for a long time promoting foriengers moving in, however recent events have lead the nation to be much more cautions towards outsiders. Following a series of unifcation wars and rebellions, and border expansions, the land now consists of many more small tribes and once again Wereu and the southern gungixians and titchwahkans in Teijina.

Military:
The original military founded by Taijin Bao was created as a defense force to secure the safety of the nation after its recent sucesion from Gungixao. This military was modernized under the guidance of Dyeong Sun Bao and Wutesi. Under Daun Sun Bao and her main supporter Ptacolo Tei, the military grew with the influx of Wereuan soldiers, however the majority now held by these new people soon led to the military gaining autonomous control of the Western Ru'sh Naal region under Wereuan rule. The remaining soldiers after the war would return to serve Ru'sh Naal as primarily a defense force, the specialized Arm of Bao had mainly joined the Wereu, although the techniques taught to these soldiers still known by the Rustuffes. As such a new Rustuffe special forces was developed to serve along the primary defense force.

The primary military force consists of 830,000 ready for service soldiers. All soldiers are trained in unarmed combat, however additional techniques are usually taught based on their assumed skills.

The Gungixian, Titchwahk, Winouak, and Navaro soldiers are usually fitted with swords, pikes and other close range steel weaponry, supported by the renowned Kastwata archers.
 The Kastwata Archers are equipped with specilized bows made out of longer straight treated peices of wood allowing the trained soldier to launch arrows well over mountain tops.
To accomadate the lesser skilled marksmenship of the other soldiers, the majority of non-kastwata troops are equipped with crossbows.

75,000 Specialized soldiers make up the Arm of Bao, an advanced defense force, taught a variety of alternative combat techniques, and the use of elephants, and often are the first to receive the benefits of Rustuffe's techonological prowess, with frequent use of fire and explosions in their combat.

The navy controlled by Ru'sh Naal consists of many specialized ships including the archer-platform ships, landrunners, and a variety of two-hull ships designed prior to and during the war with Orshkal. Recent updates on ship design have kept them on par with most neighboring forces, but there haven't been as many gamechanging breakthroughs in this field during recent years.

Accepted.  I will add you to the map after I finish a few errands.

The envoy reports the news to the AC (Avalonian Council - I'm just going to abbreviate it henceforth).  The Council is happy with the result, and resolves to aid the Four Crowns, and particularly Galaumia at the next opportune time.

May our nations prosper forever, in the dawn of a new age.

Smoke fills the skies of Galaumia. Any approaching the capital city can see a fire. Many fires. They break out in the city, as the gates remain closed. Any who ride closer can hear screams and death. No message has been released. Luckily, all foreign assembly members were outside of the city at this time, in their personal villas in the countryside. No message has been released from the capital city.

IMO it isn't really fun for the time to pass so quickly in this day and age. Not really any room for immersion.

The King continues his march into Saobar. Tasmesovan government members are asked to wait in St. Fydorsgobod for his arrival once Saobar is brought to it's knees.

The "Fydorsian Verorthodox Church" begins gaining influence throughout the Kingdom of Lotavik. Verorthodox priests begin gathering in a small chapel to write an official church doctrine.
