Author Topic: Anagaea II – A New Age of Empires [1117 AD]  (Read 131495 times)

Developments in the new Ezbátu have led to the autocrat leader dissolving the Ezbatan Council, and calling the army in to make sure no one enters or leaves the region.  News has finally escaped of the leader ruthlessly slaughtering everyone for the smallest crimes, and even for speaking his name in a matter he finds unsatisfactory.  Ezbátu now lies as a cesspool of outrage toward the Emperor.  The Emporor has built great monuments in honor of himself and has left the people to starve.  News of a coming revolution spreads as far as Galaumia and Ru'sh Naal.  Somehow in a smuggling operation, letters from Bēlänia reach the Avalonian Bēläniese, calling them to arms in foreign support.

The Avalonian Belanese are for the most part tied up in the affairs of Avalonia, as they struggle to maintain their individual culture in spite of shifting tides in the land.  It has still proven impossible to reach the Belanese on Turtle Island, as it has come under almost constant siege and blockade by the Avalonian and South Calzonian navies which, unable to conquer it, vie for control of it between themselves nonetheless.

Armies from Espul begin to amass in Geran to resist Avalonian incursions with the aim of retaking West Geran.  Espul and Ormica secretly agree to support each other militarily and economically through this crCIA.

The Council Government greatly appreciates the aid it is receiving, and does its best to repay nations giving it.

More expeditions are sent to the South to get what can be gotten from the mainland.  This time they are discovered, and several of the people involved are executed.  Some stuff, however, is brought back, including a good swathe of religious texts from the Library of Nazgar.

Reports indicate that the Order of the Golden Lion, throughout the former Union states has been a force for the Council Government.  Although many members of this group died during the civil war, it seems that many still live and have done their best to prepare for the rise of the Council Government, especially in Nazgar, where it is rumored that the "Council Club" meets monthly somewhere in the labyrinth of tunnels beneath the city, and has rescued various documents and books, as well as artifacts and funds, from the hands of the military dictatorship.  It is widely believed that these reports have been exaggerated, but many remain hopeful.

There is a call for the remainder of the populace at Ru'sha to travel to Daijoua or other areas in the Ru'sh Naal union and join their former nation once more, however given similarities between governing styles, many are hesitant to make the journey when they have built their lives in the city, and as long as they pledge faith to Bao, as most of them already do, they wouldn't be hassled by their new Wereuan Leader.



Tei dispatched to surrounding nations have been unable to locate Roussaeu and the search begins for a new Bao, many of the Tei nominate themselves for the position, however it is not seen as an elected title and most of these Tei recieve little recognition by the general populace, outside of their political influence.

During the construction of the Navaro Kai, the Tei lobby for an expanded wing to allow the joining of the previously seperate Cult of Bao and Academy of Kai, as they say that previously the seperation between philosophy and the sciences caused great neglect on the well being of the populace.

The cult is renamed into the Academy of Bao, and more directed lesson plans discorsing the concepts of civil management, order, and balance were chosen as the first schools for this new academy.

At the same time the Academy of Kai lobbied for a union of all the schools under one roof. The agreed upon plan would result in the largest public institution known to man, however the plans being under construction seem to take ages, due to much of the available labor for now being focused on rebuilding the damaged cities and farms.

It was decided that as the school would be under development for such a period, whatever buildings were finished would be used, and the remaining classes to be taught at various Navaro and Titchwak tribal villages, with large ceremony spaces being converted to open-air lecture pavillions, further inviting the populace to partake in the studies at the time.

The Ezbatan Councilmen (of those that remain) flee to Gungixao, Ashibia and Xianxan.  The local authorities make them swear that they will no longer interfere in Ezbatan politics, and if they decide to do so, the will be escorted to Ezbátu.

Revolutionary forces storm the palace at Sånyeta, and hold the Emperor hostage for a day, forcing him to eat dirt and refuse, and parade him around the Sånyetan streets, beating him and pushing him into the mud.  The disposed emperor is then left an example by skewering him on a pole from his rectum to his mouth.

More factions in Ezbátu erupt as to the treatment of the emperor, since he had been appointed by the honorable Council.  Others argue that his treatment of the people was abhorrent, and that he was rightly condemned.  Ezbátu breaks up into 41 city states based around the major noble families.



Barbarians from the West of Albiton invade and sack every city in the West.  West Albiton falls to separated city-statehood.  East Albiton calls upon the rest of the Holy Order for support to build up a large wall where lands meet, and to provide patrols in waters where raiders may reside.



Islam spreads into Irajinad, Hamani, Osamar and Galaumia, and begins to reach the Bequelans and Banishira.  It becomes more popular than any other religion, and because of it, the governments of Haman, Irajinad and Osamar declare it as a State religion.

They state that if Galaumia, Banishira and the Bequelans follow suit, that they wish to establish them as Honorable Emirates in a "New Empire."

Islam becomes a major religion in the west of Galaumia, as even the King and some major Assembly members take it up. The King passes a decree declaring Islam to be the one faith of Galaumia, although Buddhism and remnants of Animism will still be allowed to practice in the East and Capital of Galaumia, respectively.

Iraji emmisaries travel to Galaumia and bestow the title upon the king as Honorable Emir.  Capital floods in from the other three States in order to build mosques and spires.

Mosques are built in both cities, as a name change occurs for both of them.
The Capital is changed to Chijidan.
The Other City is changed to Yuanehore.
Meanwhile, a new city is under construction in the far south of Galaumia, western. It is to be called Caaka.

Cool beans.  Also did some pretty large updates.

The revolution in Marivus ends, and Cassianism is established as a State religion.  The new Kingdom of Marivus becomes a member of the Holy Nations.

South Calzonian forces are able to drive Avalonian ships away from Turtle Island, and attempt, still in vain, to take it.

Gehendenland is absorbed into Edbania after the following a clash between the two nations over mining rights in the area and a few battles in which Edbania did remarkably well.  Edbania's focus on reforming its administration and military is going well.

Cassians in Avalonia finally receive the privilege of entering the government and armed forces.  This comes as many Cassians seek to aid in the fight to retake Geran and the Avalonian military's failure to do so.


The Council Government in Siderland watches in horror as Ezbatu gets flushed down the toilet, unable to do anything to stop its death spiral.  Refugees are still welcome.

With a still growing population and not enough space to adequately feed or house it, the Council Government has enacted an edict requiring all males 20 to 35 to receive military training and serve for one year in the armed forces.  This will hopefully allow the Council Government to take more lands and house and feed its people.  Meanwhile, more lands along the coast are taken from small despotic tribes by force, and small tribes that aren't hostile or anything are absorbed as well.

Islam begins to spread into Siderland, but doesn't gain a strong hold or anything.  under different circumstances, the Council might consider approaching it as it did Cassianism, but things as they are, the situation is left alone.


There'll be some new Nordic and then Latin NPCs soon.
When Miko gets me all the details and I fill stuff in on that I'll update the map (SWAT, if I could get the updated .xcf that'd do a world of good).
Looks like Asar and Bresini kicked Albea in the pants.  Neat.

Galaumia, being a previous ally of Avalonia, asks the Islamic Empire if they may be permitted to send troops to help them. As well, Avalonian refugees will be happily taken in by Galaumia, as would the Nobility, and supplies are sent to Avalonia.

Also, Ezbatan refugees are welcome, under the condition they do not cause religious tension with Buddhists or Muslims. We seek religious toleration in Galaumia, not religious fighting.

Most refugees escape to Gungixao, Ashibia and Xianxan.  Few even make it as far as Zesioter, though the political situation in Ezbátu has calmed down more or less since a national revolution is no longer prevalent.  Frequent power shifts are now occurring, however, since national statehood has been rejected, and noble families have taken over.

As the documents of the new government are being drafted, an army of unknown soldiers marches up to the royal palace. Royal guard submit as the superior forces. Exiled members of the government of Saobar walk in and arrest the king and company, including the provisional government. The lords of Saobar have agreed to split up the lands of Lotvik and Saobar once more into their own independent kingdoms, the king of Saobar taking the lands around Fydorsgobod. The people of the lands are very war weary and grudgingly accept the change.

Lotavik, becoming slightly less violent, begins becoming much more cultural. West Germanic languages now dominate the former Slavic majority.


I'll create NPCs later and a map as well. Can one of you send me the current XCFs? I'll of course control the kingdom that controls Fydorsgobod.

stuff irl is being a bitch so like

Nippon land is just being dormant and xenophobic as usual, focusing on recovering from the civil war still and all that groovy stuff

With the election results in, the representatives for the Ru'sh Naal union have been officially decided upon.



Roussaeu Bao has returned to Ru'sh Naal!
In honor of his presence, the nation holds its first ceremony of Bao in many years, commemorating the event with a dramatic fiery display in the sky of great purple explosions.

The Bao tells his followers of the attrocities he had seen in his years traveling, attempting to reach his homeland and having had been taken prisoner on his trip back. After escaping his captors he had been traveling spreading the word of Bao to all whom would hear, gathering with him a great following that had joined him upon his return to the nation.

Among these people were a great quantity of Buddhists which the Bao had assured were more reasonable in their views of duty and balance than previously thought by the populace.

During his travels he visited villages destroyed by war over ideals and relgions that all purported the intention of the betterment of society, yet it wasn't so achieved. The Bao called to these people to venture with him to the land where they would be better accepted, and several thousand people joined him on his migration to the cities.

A small settlement is established in the northern Navaro province near many mines that had been previously under-worked due to the rebuilding efforts. These citizens were granted rights under the nation of Ru'sh Naal should they show dedication to the nation, and many take up jobs mining in this city.
