Season of Conquest : Spring 1031

Spring 1031 after Neinnes

Brace yourself, Spring is coming

The end of the longer than expected Hapiness period was met with war rumors. All over Tanaephis the great Nations raised armies and delivered speech to their population. Victory, plunder, past glory or bright future were told and shouted in every villages and market places. Common men joined vast armies, peasants started to fear for what may happen if their province was the target of an invading army, some started to live in hope that they will be liberated.

Vors Assembly:

Marshall Colwyn hunting Derigion's spies

The councils of the Vors gathered. Their Empire was strong. Their past victories over the Derigion Empire gave them confidence that Pole was only few victories away from a full conquest and that the next stage will be the complete control of Tanaephis. At this effect, the Vors decided to raise 2 armies and gave one to Marshall Colwyn, known to be richer and richer after each victory and one under Captain Frank. One army was raised in the North and one in the South as the military would not know to whom the council would declare war. They finally decided to move against the Derigion's Empire and end up their pitiful History.

Durville, House of the Major Houses.
The Batranoban requested Marshal Al'Sun, a charismatic and cunning young leader of an eminent House, to lead the Batranoban to success. His way to find unexpected support from within the enemy made easy conquest without spilling noble Batranoban blood. They would move against one of the Independent country, on the Northeast. A place full of bandit harassing merchants.

Pole, Palace of the Derigion Emperor.
The senators were shouting at each other, paralyzing again any decision. The Derigion's Emperor raised a finger, demanding the silence. He declared that Marshal Vicus will be called back from his retirement. The old general as a Weapon bearer would be a great asset to the powerful army to be raised. On Vicus name only, the Legendary Gygax came to Pole and joined the army. With such a strong army, there were chances to stop the Vorozion and maybe take back the Eastern Empire.

Jungle of the South, Gadhar's great tribes gathering
Gadhar's tribes were uneasy. Many young were looking for glory and manhood. Many older warriors knew  the Batranoban and the Vorozion expansionists view may need to be stopped. Even more were concerns that slavers would dare penetrate deep into Gadhar's regions. As they could not agree whether to attack or to defend, the Gadhar decided to stay in full alertness.

Piorad internal debate on where to attack (war is always the option)

Piorad Chiefdom
The Piorad gathered a great army under the leadership of Ragner. Still with so many chiefs, the Piorad Nation was little better than headless tribes. Beer and strong alcohol helped for the council to end up in fist fighting competition and slave beheading bets. Spring was wasted.

Plains under Sekeker's control
The Sekeker felt under emergency. Their tribes were weak and they were low in numbers. The best strategy is attacking and get more women to join them. Jenny the fearless convinced the Sekeker tribes to join effort and to raid the nearest province. The fate was on their side and Lydia the Weapon Bearer arrived on time to join Jenny. Her Major Weapon would help bringing extra resources.

Great North, Thunk elders council
Finally the Thunk looked West. The Piorad were raising a strong army said the spies. The omen were bad and peace was over. The ponies were gathered, bows and arrows made. War was upon them but the Thunk did what they do best: "wait and ambush whoever would be crazy enough to invade the mountains of the Thunk".
