Wayrest

 

Edwystir Moorford. Knight and general. The epitome of chivalric virtue. For many years he served King Barynia, and now he claims that the man promised him the throne. He is known for honour, so the doubts cast on this claim are regarded by his followers as spurious. Though, what is truth in politics but a useful tool?

 

Edwystir rallies his followers in the fields and villages that make up the greater Kingdom of Wayrest, where he and the other claimants have been forced to settle their squabbles; the city is still held by pirates, so news of the pledge by King Ennis to aid against the pirate threat is celebrated all across Wayrest, and surely this proclamation by one of his greatest backers does nothing but boost Edwystir’s popularity.

 

Far more insidious than pledges of support from a King of Hammerfell to the Bretons is a pledge of support from an Orc. Atoba Gro-Duron, a man feared by many in the Kingdom. He met with Edwystir privately in person, and although many rumours fly around as to what exactly transpired, what is certain is that the Orc has offered his support to Edwystir in return for the ruins of Nova Orsinium. He asks the chief to send a force into Wayrest to destroy the armies of rival claimants as quickly as possible.

 

Edwystir has made his attitudes clear to Wayrest’s old rival in the west also – he is not one to lie or bend the truth when asked a question directly. It is his intention to once more restore Wayrest as a regional power in the Illiac Bay, and humiliate the old enemy, if he gains the crown.

 

Now he prepares for war, exhorting Bretons across the Kingdom to flock to his banner.

 

Actions

 

-As many men as possible are raised to fight for Edwystir. 

-A diplomat is sent to King Ennis requesting for the Forebears to send money as quickly as possible to support his effort.

The arrival of the Stormcloak army at Whiterun was met with nothing but the bloodshed of fellow Nords and Imperial scum. During the Siege of Whiterun, the Stormcloak men who had fought the Nords of Whiterun felt ill on the situation yet felt it was needed for Skyrim independence. After fully taking the outer gates the Siege fell to hold as both sides retreated back to their camps in order to rest their troops and attend to their wounded. Though a scout had busted into general, Galmar Stone-Fist’s, tent that led to his call for tactical withdraw from Whiterun. Their whereabouts are unknown to the Imperial legion.

[!] Ralof of Riverwood is promoted to General instead of an officer due to his leading in the Siege of Whiterun and dedication to the rightful cause in the Stormcloak rebellion.

 

 

Jarl Ulfric receives word from Galmar about the Siege of Whiterun seeing it come to no success. The Jarl slowly became aggravated that the other Jarls does not see that the Imperials seek to use Jarl Elisif as a pawn of their own begins to send letters to each Jarl that has decided for the Imperials besides Jarl Balgruuf.

 

___________________________

 

[!] Letter to the Jarls that support the Empire

 

Dear fellow Jarls,

It pains me that I must strike fellow Nords and that our people have to suffer through such bloodshed. You all know the Imperials are pushing Jarl Elisif to be High Queen of Skyrim yet she was thrust in a position of power she never intended to have and was not prepared for. She believes she has a rightful claim to be High Queen by being the widowed wife of the previous High King that I indeed killed. It was not right of me to kill him but he was never going to see Skyrim at its independence. This shall be the last letter in hopes to change your mind and help the fight against the Empire in order to see our people free at last than being a second Cyrodil for the Empire. Do not let the Imperials put people that they want as the High King or Queen of Skyrim as that is not our way.

The new topic of gossip for the peasantry was the war. Wayrest was going to be a battlefield for both major and and rising powers alike, a prove of worth for brave and honorable warriors. King Chrannel was having none of it. "I refuse to pour  a septim or a single man into this conflict. Into this" free for all " against orcs and the red guards. The fools will wither eachother out and only weaken another all the while the thalmor grow stronger. We are not fit to win this sort of war, for it is a war of attrition. And when men are driven to pour so many resources, there is no victor, only the survivor. "

 

 

THE WAR ON SCHOOMA 

 

King Chrannel continues his efforts to eradicte the scooma trade. He has dispatched a force of 1500 knights from his army to join the garrison the kingdom's major towns, 900 of these men will set out to Daggerfall itself. With the aid of the bounty hunters returning with their gang leaders' heads and the Knights of Dragon, the task will seem less daunting and may bring the campaign to end a few months earlier than it has to.

 

 

With the frequency of attacks on guard patrols in the slums of Daggerfall, increasing in both frequency and intensity the acting enforcer army, Chrannel's Will under general Samrier Gibaldeir, has reason to believe that scooma gangs are situate there. A large organized sweeping of the area is necessary. The objective of the break in is to search all the houses and bringing any potential suspects into custody and later on questioning ,(all torture methods are permitted.)  Any illegal products will be confiscated. Command estimates that 800 men will be needed to clear these slums , a hundred of which are knights of dragon. At one hour after midnight, the force will surround the slums from all directions effectively encircling the  entire area and blocking off all entrances. Once all the men are in formation, the break in will begin with all units closing in through the streets.Soldiers are ordered to not kill unarmed individuals, but to use the hilt of swords and shaft of their spears for non lethal takedowns. Anyone resisting with a weapon may be swiftly killed though. All civillians will be evacuated from the area, and are promised to be compensated for any damage. Those found guilty or affiliated to the scooma trade will die by the whip publically.

 

 

Additionally, with the increased assaults in the countryside, batches of riders (consisting of 12 to 20 horsemen) will now accompany their foot soldier counterparts in patrols. Twenty of these units will be granted totalling 400 men.

 

The navy will also begin searching all entering and exiting ships into the city of Daggerfall and all ships that they escort further increasing the pressure on thr schooma gangs and preventing possible ganf members escaping by sea. 

 

Actions:

War on scooma, 1500 knights reinforce garrisons of the major cities in the kingdom, with  an additional 900 men and a 100 knights of dragon in Daggerfall itself. 

 

Break in operation launched in slums of daggerfall. details above

 

400 Light cavalry accomapnies patrols in country side. Details of unit composition above.

 

As an dditional secuirity measure  all ships commuting in the kingdom will undergo a search.

 

6 new war ships, crew for stated ships. 2 completed, 3 expected by the end of the year, and the final one after an additional six months after that.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The crown’s projects where going well, things were going to plan, the heir Artago, continued to improve, ensuring the nation’s future, the Empire accepting trade, and the pirate issue begins to be quelled, but like all good things, darkness rises from ash and smoke. News of wayrest’s full civil war broke the joy of King Talib, angered upon hearing such as having an unstable neighbor would never be acceptable, he agreed with the forebears to have them deal with the threat.

RMw_xe6HgymeAGdvNy54P9gjltBZlySP5rIG3bulOMt6MHjQakIX180-8-ueQU5zXrVByBxXTnyFvxYZX3xcoxR7ZLa-vbeGD24KLWx-ahOD2lCXnGvotk3sBU2cfg7FIdZJypHb

500 of the best of all hammerfell had been gathered, masters of the spear, sword, axe, and bow And after intense loyalty tests these men were dubbed no longer alik'r warriors, but as the Sand Reapers, flame and glory will shake the ground behind these men, their name will soon become immortal in the history of Hammerfell...No..of all of Tamriel, they would begin their own special training, much like the real life Janissary corp. These men would become death handlers. Reaping death like the sand of the bitter desert of hammerfell.

The nights became harder for the new corp of Sand Falcons, their training more intense than the last half year, soon they will become the most elite, ready for every task. Their mind’s sharp, and their hearts strengthened by their holy rituals for the gods of the Redguards. Soon they will be able to destroy kingdoms with single actions by their hands that would give victory to the Crowns.

Each unit would practice heavily on their own skills, Archers will practice to hit their targets more accurately and a bit faster. Calvary, with their riding and combat, Their training made solely on combat, discipline, is to be made. Every month two Mock battles happen to speed up their understanding of fighting, in these mock battles, medics are put on standby for any injuries. and the such.Info on the units will be written up and sent later!

Tribes of Blackmarsh

 

 

The expulsion of the Dunmer goes slowly and to be frank. Ineffective, so the High Chief of Argonia devises a new plan. With the support of the other tribes in Blackmarsh. The High Chief calls upon them to raise their levies and send them north into the Argonian controlled part of Morrowind, to begin a mass genocide of the Dunmer population. Along with the vassal levies. The new massed army of 10,000 men would march north towards the two houses who seem to be supporting the “rebels.” Envoys are dispatched to these two houses, citing the treaty that ended the Accession War. Which stated if any of the Great Houses were to get involved with the affairs of Blackmarsh and her controlled territories. A swift invasion would follow suit, as well as citing that a pact of non-aggression was still active between the nations for the next two years.

201 Sun's Height-Evening Star

 

World Events

-The Dragonborn is seen leaving Iverstead after several weeks with the greybeards. Now rumors of Blades hiding in Skyrim begins to spread. 

-The Dominion starts to cleanse Valenwood of the ‘impure’ causing much unrest within the Province.

-In  the Dwemer ruins of Hammerfell reports of metal monsters attacking travelers who get close begins to come in, it seems the Redguards exploration has awoken these metal guardians. 

 

The Forebears- Hammerfell

-Only six warships are finished by the end of 201.

-Many Redguards begin to protest the war in High rock after attack by the pirates.

 

Empire of Tamriel

-With the Pale Pass and others blocked by avalanches and snow storms any supplies would need to be sailed around the whole of Tamriel. Meanwhile the Jarls donate what they can but the winter in Skyrim means they can offer little help without risking their own people. 

-After Titus Mede II speech many  of the reformists use this support to push through the reforms. While many officers still speak openly against it they are carried through. However, reorganizing the frontier and an army the size of the Legion could take months or years.

- The Thalmor diplomats warn the Emperor that these open acts of preparations for war and ignoring the treaty that ended the Great War will not be tolerated. Thalmor agents begin to crack down on Talos worship even harder in the Empire, causing unrest among the population especially those Nords who support the Empire in Skyrim.

 

Orsinium

-Many strongholds in Skyrim ignore the war in High Rock and see no reason to support anyone.

-The tariff does bring income into the Kingdom but leads to high prices for the grain.

-Some orcs begin to talk about a Challenger who will try to duel Atuba Gro-Duron for the title of King of Orsinium.

 

Wayrest

-After the defeat at the hands of Eric Cumberland, Moorfords army is scattered and routed. He and his knights managed to escape and plan to lay low.

-The Pretender from Northpoint begins the march south to join the fight.

-Many locals in southern Wayrest begin to join Erics side after his victory.

 

Stormcloaks 

-Another two thousand nords join the Stormcloak ranks, all of them young nords with little experience.

-Dawnstar sends messages requesting aid from Ulfric after the Imperials take Fort Dunstad.

 

Daggerfall

-The crack down on the slums cause much of the poor to see it as an attack on them. Soon riots begin to break out causing many of the patrols to withdraw.

-Three more warships are completed, however a break in at the docks by a Schooma gang causes a fire that burns down one of the ships.

 

The Crowns- Hammerfell

-The plans for new defenses are expected to be finished by next year.

-The Patrols on the border lead to an incidents, a Redguard patrol gets into a skirmish with several Orcs leading to one on both sides killed. The hatred between the Redguards and Orcs seems to be reamerging.

 

Tribes of Blackmarsh

-The army of Blackmarsh is on the move, the recent actions in Morrowind cause many Dunmer to now openly call for war once more. Thousands are either forced to flee or are killed. The Great Houses of Morrowind can’t ignore a genocide of their own people. House Redoran and Dres both begin to rally their armies for another war.

 

Whiterun

-The lack of grain begins to take a toll on the Hold, many begins to starve only surviving off of rations given by other Jarls. But it seems the nine smile on Whiterun has Rorikstead begins to send much of its surplus of crops to feed the people.

News reach Hammerfell, the war room in Sentinel is abuzz, “How did this happen!?” Janus says furiously “Some say Edwystir Moorford had march upon cumberlands army leading to massive civil war breaking out… others say Eric Cumberland refused to cooperate with Edwystir Moorford and hence he had no choice….” Khalid says looking down on the war table stroking his beard “There is always a choice on starting a war…. Very well… Now we have no choice…. With a civil war breaking out these Corsairs will use this to their advantage and make massive land grabs and more suffering to the people there… have our army depart sooner, as soon as the crowns ships get here… we cannot afford to wait any longer if we are to destro-” a large bang is heard with the doors swinging open “My King! Edwystir Moorford has lost the battle against cumberland! He was outmanned! Evermore has sent troops to aid Eric Cumberland in battle!”  the messenger says nearly out of breath. The whole room fell silent for a few moments. “Admiral barbarossa… when everything is ready, you will take the armada and set sail with the army and land them here…. Salah Ayebid.. You will lead the army in wayrest and destroy these terrorist and ANYONE who refuse to aid you against them. You are to advise a plan of action and if you deem them a threat you are to send them to the afterlife. These claimants…. If we can end the war or put a truce to it until these pirates are dead.. I will talk with you more on this matter later…. For now continue as planned.” King Ennis says nodding at his son Auda to follow.  Immediately men were summoned to the capital and the navy returns as well. Posters went up calling on the redguards who fought the aldmeri as well as the redguards and refugees who suffer from pirates attacks and raids to join the army to help get rid of the pirates intrusion as well as stabilise their once ally and great friend which is now a complete failed and overruned country wayrest.

 

[!] outside the palace a protest is happening regarding the war in wayrest

“My people! You complain about these pirates for years, as they invaded our shores, plundered our trade at sea, killed our children…. And when WE decided to end their incursion you protest against this? No! These pirates will be killed, these men who we sent out there went out there on a mission! To protect this homeland of the scourge we are facing and to protect all of us! Our people is not new to war and its cost… but neither have we given up, just because these scum attack us on the sea? Don't you see? THEY KNOW! That as soon as they land and siege their base they will be driven out and put to death! We redguards yearn for blood and glory! So return to your homes! Look to your sons and daughters… and know THEY are safe because of the men who went out their to sacrifice their lives for you! But I promise you these men who sacrifice their lives will never be forgotten....” after this the families of the soldiers who died fighting at sea and beyond are given tax exemption for 10 years, free medical services from hospitals, and bag of 200 gold pieces to help them.

With the homeless shelters, orphanages, and charity taken care of without a hitch King talib assign his son Auda to help manage the department and in charge to hear what the people want to make their lives easier on them. A move to surely make people love auda and look forward to him reigning the country after King Talib should he pass one day.

[!] week pass at sea and sighting were seen. A pirate has come fight the redguards invasion, knowing that if the army reach land they will suffer badly so why not they fight on their terms? Admiral barbarossa knew these pirates strength lies on their navy quickly devising a tactic. So drums are sounded horns are blown and the battle for Iliac Bay has begun. It was not long before the redguards was able to cut off a good portion of their ships in a pocket. A bloody battle ensued against the pirates with the redguards emerging victorious. All that lies in their path now was the city of wayrest.

Wayrest

 

Oh fair Wayrest, weak you lay

The ***** of High Rock and the Bay

Never will you rise again;

Your time is done, weep in vain

 

This verse, written by an anonymous poet from Dwynnen, resonates amongst the populace of Wayrest as civil war rages. Edwystir Moorford now seems destined to irrelevance following not only the loss of his power base at Alcaire to the pretender of Northpoint, but also his crushing defeat outside the city of Wayrest by Cumberland’s forces. Accompanied by a small force of knights, he has been forced to live off the land with his men and lay low. He swears that the next time he sees Cumberland, he will force his rival to a duel. But all is not yet lost. With the call from the forces of Hammerfell sent out to the pretenders of Wayrest, Moorford sees an opportunity. He takes his men, and moves to join forces with King Ennis’ army at Faragel’s Landing, stating that dealing with the pirates occupying the city of Wayrest is more important than petty internal squabbles...

 

-Moorford takes his knights, and moves as carefully as possible to Faragel’s Landing, attempting to avoid any forces other than that led by Salah Ayebid of the Forebears. He sends a letter preceding his arrival, stating his willingness to work with the redguards to clear out the pirate menace and to settle peacefully the succession crisis of Wayrest.

The crown’s began their military mobilization in response to the skirmish on the border.

Their plan was to secure their border and keep Crown lands safe. His new goals were to fight in a war of his own choosing the expand crown influence, Military advisers and himself looked carefully upon the maps, noting weaknesses, and strengths of their territory. On a hunt the King Talib thought of an Idea as one of his courtmen killed a squrell in a tree some distance away with an arrow, the Idea was of skirmishing and tactics along with it, a warm grin formed on his face that night as he sat by the fire.

After talks with the claimant Moorford, King Chrannel has noticed that The war in Wayrest has developed to Cumberland 's advantage yet with the information he has gathered they are in need of him more than ever. Not only has Cumberland proven to be a capable commander in battle, but he has also won the hearts and minds of his people, he is seen as the rightful heir to the throne in all of High Rock. Chrannel is willing to bulk his forces by 1000 men(details in actions) some believe he did this realizing that the redguards were dedicating to the clash, and Daggerfall is unwilling to hand them full influence over Wayrest , while others think it was to end the long fued between the rival Breton kingdoms in High Rock.. A letter ia sent to Cumberland informing him of his incoming reinforcements, also mentioning that the safety of these men will be ensured by a Daggerfall commander who is willing to cooperate with Cumberland's forces.

 

On another note,  the military shipyards of Daggerfall will be expanded to accomidate more war ships at the docks, and more efficient production of war ships(22 ships can be docked meaning an additional 5 capacity, 3 to 4 can be built within 6 month peroid is the goal) funding is granted to suffice a 4 to 6 month peroid of construction.

 

In an effort to strenghten the economy, builders will be developing new and better roads leading to the agricultural lands of the Kingdom decreasing travel time to the city markets. Moreoverz these roads will strrtch out to uncultivated fertile lands where new farms will be built.Work begins on this project.

 

King Chrannel realizes the impact of the Knights of Dragon in the fields of battle, he issues a letter demanding that their numbers be bulked by a hundred young boys based on ability, these boys will undergo extensive and brutal training for several years to become the most feared warriors in Tamriel..

 

As promised, the navy of Daggerfall will travel to Illiac bay regrouping with the Redguard fleet(they are positioned in the rear, in reserve)

 

THE WAR ON SCHOOMA 

 

The a new approach is taken this time. Spies are given the task of locating all scooma gang hideout.  Under the cover of the dark, a small group of elite Knights of Dragon are sent, numbering no more than fourty they are tasked with killing any and all individuals seen in 1 hideoutand torching any equipment afterwards. This group is later divided into smaller squads, where each squad will target a different hideout, i(f there are more than one with a max of 2 squads a night).Leaders are to be spared however(if its possible to prevent their escape), they will be captured and then displayed publically before their execution. 

 

Actions:

War on scooma, secretive operation (details above)

 

A thousand troops for Cumberland (100 Medium cavalry,  300 Peltasts, 600 heavy spearmen) 

 

Knights of Dragon recieve 100 new trainees

 

Military shipyard expansion (details above)

 

Improvement of agricultural sector(details above)

 

Spies sent to a place(mod) 

 

16 ships sent to Redguard fleet

The Most Tempestuous 

State of Orsinium

Leader: Atuba Gro-Duron

 


PFRlS9cOPAyLUZwh2TykUwZIvjja1K0D1QV5FkPcK26MFgODeFF5sPoQ-iW0wkz6UCCAVnNngLIblmzpWICyBrH200NwFrApqy0ckyY7Qig1hi1j2_pA6jOn_WIXvyTNYlT7FrYi

Winter and Spring  roll through the mountains of Orsinium

 


 

OEPrrsb-U17EUmoQqEkRN9mZA5qb3cXypCFVcakZgiuV4GFT_ipwVVT3ma8jdEmP-HJPuxwlGWtNskT25PU9NcXGOtXRMULmEf_BiA5QO8MDv9M-QpK9GdxVuS_rfRxwmfP1QVa6

 

     The time shall come. Orsinium was theirs and shall always be theirs; they shall march on Bretons and assert their claim. None shall halt their march northwest to Orsinium, any who do will be met with sword. Atoba will lead his brethren, but not until the winter recedes. Until then his spawn will prove their might; raids will be conducted.

 

. . .

 

Orsinium is ours! The Bretons shall not halt us; they cannot! Orsimer are strong, and we will prove the might of our people in battle. They do not know the strength of outsiders, of those who are foreign and attack little. They shall, however, and we shall as well. Those who wish to prove themselves to me will do so upon the battlefield; do this and you will please Trinimac himself.

 

. . .

 

     His call to arms to his own strongholds was once more done. The orc asks his people to conduct raids on Bretons and dispose of their grain supply as winter begins to lose to spring. They shall have to wait until harvest in six months…

 

     This raiding wasn’t entirely to take away from Bretons, but also to give to his own denizens. A way to lower grain prices if possible as the orsimer didn’t need the grain and given in its rise of price it should sell nicely.

 

. . .

 

     Yet soon after these raids began did they halt. The raiders replaced with scouts as the orsimer still continue their preparations. It soons become clear, though, once one realizes the messages that were made between the two nations. However… That shall remain undisclosed until another day.

     But know this: the orcs shall march into Evermore, but as they do they do not raid or pillage. They do not siege and do not slay indiscriminately; no, they march north. Sending scouts forward ahead as their distrustful eyes upon the land.

 

. . .

 

     Atoba never hears of the rumor; that a spawn wants his head. At least he feigns ignorance, for in Atoba’s free time he trains for “battle against Bretons,” urging others to do so if they are not working their own jobs. The spawn of Duron wishing to hasten his march on Evermoore and march to Orsinium’s ruins so that before his last breath he may be the one to reclaim his homeland.

 

 


 

Actions

Orsinium and other strongholds begin fortifying for the coming war

Raids begin on Evermore, specifying pillaging of fields [Evermore]

Though they stop suddenly, instead scouts are sent to Evermore [Evermore]

Atoba rallies his men, marching in the early Summer

As winter gives way, the camps are once again occupied

To assert their territory, Atoba establishes small camps along his border [Crowns]

Any territorial disputes shall be negotiated from the king himself

Herds begin their making at Atoba’s request


 

Typical Happenings

 

As Winter loses to Spring, the camps find themselves with new labor. Or rather labor that was once lost-- resources gained by orcish hands stream into the capital. Many of it held in stock to be used in the war effort.

Under recommendation, an effort to rely more (than normally at least) on mountain herds for food is done. Oxen, goats and any other hardy beast is sought for orcs as a source of food. Though grain and crops in general still dominate the agricultural market.

 

 


Orsinium Relations

 


 

zWi8GVPSktI-uvNoOMmKsinYMELihSOvNEaPRrdELW2EyuI9HWmape6TFLwKNsNYOYH_QrTGegHLHCA2TppxbI2qkqWhK5TB170Q1RF8B8D77n_Sd9ZGk0BZNa28j9f6JInScxzs

 


 

Foreign

Imperial states are given much more leeway -- they are allowed more free trade and are generally viewed in higher opinion. However, the Forebears seem to be fostering relations with Orsinium quite nicely. As seen with the exchange of information and gifts. Another point of interest are the claimants of Wayrest; it becomes muddled as to whether the orc wishes for Edwyster as King anymore or not… His communication with Hammerfell and Edwyster becomes limited compared to what was.

 

Domestic

Domestic is as expected: the King focusing on his kin rather than the other races that live within his territory. He expects them to pay a small price for protection but generally leaves them autonomous. His kin, however, are of much interest. The King sending wives to his fellow chieftains in order to foster relations. Those within his realm are required to pay taxes but these taxes range from gold to other resources.


 


Orsinium Decrees

 


 

eI98pRgvRDL9-VpNQY9XGj7nFvNG-KjUG-R3UZaMj01P8w8Qw6HJMbU3YFrTLr08ORmuLDa84lZWrqR3EthNl_JGHeW-qQPGlebQJhZ1xKSHEAsi61UNHJy7bmjmL-Iwy7wSQwAG

 


 

A city-orc writes these decrees for the King personally, finding his honor returning with each stroke of ink made upon parchment. The rumbling of Atoba himself behind the scribe as he writes. Atoba’s words becoming ink on paper and laws for his territory are created.

 

 


Grain Embargo

As of the winter of 4e 201, an increase in the embargo of grain shall be had with trade regarding all states besides those of Skyrim; especially that of Whiterun. This increase will be 7% of the profit, in gold, to each dealing and be instituted in the following year. The embargo will remain in place for an undefined period and is to be instituted in all cities within Orsinium’s borders.

 


Free Reign of Dragonstar

As Dragonstar is not of the same race or culture as the rest of Orsinium, it has been brought that the city shall remain semi-autonomous. The upkeep and well-being of their citizens shall be under Dragonstar’s discretion, as is their military. However if protection against external threats is needed then the orsimer will do so.

Given that Orsinium is liege over Dragonstar, it will have to pay a portion of its profits to the orcs. Not only this but it will also follow the decrees that are instituted within all of Orsinium’s territory.

 


Taxation and Representation

The taxing of all cities is done independently and squarely; Orsinium will request a certain amount of resources, or a certain portion of the profits, and the settlements are expected to pay this amount. Failure will result in lack of representation and perhaps punishment via blood.

Representation shall be done via petitions to the King himself. With each petition being seen by the King directly and given proper thought; any petition can be accepted and denied by the King, but will not be able to be accepted by anyone other than the King.

 


Upon Property

Private property is under the discretion of the settlement and its government, however all property may be seized by the state without reason; the state may only seize property if the King has decreed it however.

Property of a settlement may be expanded if petitioned and accepted by the King, usually the settlement having to pay a price. The king also has the ability to retake a settlement’s property with some of the compensation returning.

 


Imperial Embargo

All states outside of the Imperial’s territory will be required to pay a 5% portion of their dealings. With 3% being sent directly to the crown and the other 2% being held within the settlement itself; if the settlement is a tribe that 2% shall be delivered to the king’s vault instead.

Palace of the Kings Insignia

Stormcloak Banner


 

Fort Dunstad being taken by Imperials and their next move unknown, Dawnstar would send a letter to Ulfric asking for aid. Due to this Ulfric would begin to plan with Galmar of many scenarios of tactics that they could do before bringing the other Generals in to make a majority decision. Upon making one Ulfric sends forces on the march to its objective while he sends a letter to Dawnstar informing them that it shall be in do time. Galmar Stone-fist would inform Ulfric on how the Imperials are currently fighting by reports and his experience in Whiterun.

 

ACTIONS

- Scouts continue doing what they are doing.

- Production in food, mining, and resources continue.

- Defenses continue to be worked on in Windhelm.

- Recruitment continues to grow.

- Persuaders continue to get the Imperial Jarl’s to switch sides.

- Stormcloak Army Marches

 

[[Sorry for this one being short]]

THE EMPIRE

(Apologies for shortness and lateness of post.)

ACTIONS

-The Empire finally responds to the Thalmor. It points out that her military preparations are clearly defensive. The focus is clearly on defensive in depth. The Empire states that she has no intent for offensive action against the Thalmor, but is prepared to defend herself from invasion by any power. The Empire send the smooth-tongued (rolled 20/20 for his diplomacy lol) and handsome Numerius Mede to calm Thalmor fears.

-Military reforms continue. The main priority is the system of defensive in depth, with reforms like the cataphracts being secondary.

-The Emperor’s grandson and second heir Numerius Nero Mede is promoted to the Military Tribunate. Shortly after his talks with the Thalmor, he is dispatched to serve in the staff of his elder brother, Lucius Nero Mede. Lucius becomes known as Nero the Elder, and Numerius Nero the Younger. With Titus II himself a veteran and survivor of THalmor assassination attempts, and his two closest heirs engaged in frontline warfare, it is hoped this will send a message to the people that the imperial family is brave and willing to die for the Empire, thus increasing their popularity. Which is more, the combat experience of the Medes hope to further silence opposition to military reform.

-Six cohorts of auxilary infantry and skirmishers are raised in Skyrim. (2,880 men)

MOD POST 3

Tale of Tongues 

F2q-nIA3azc42yerjiFoa5i1bPvL3kw8Qx8hxZJl2SGTEQr5CUS3Nr1DWe2U1ErW-z8CuCFurw6eDRIuMEJ57Ssbzeuy_DMbn0X-Z7XAkH_jkrjqq5tO0dGjMr0o6xspfrNVUrct

202 Morning Star - Midyear

World Events

News begins to spread that the Blades broke into the Thalmor Embassy and stole documents, some even claim it was the DragonBorn himself. 

Meanwhile, In Valenwood a rebellion has started between the Pro Thalmor Government and resistance group hoping to overthrow the Dominion rule.

 

Forebears

-Only another four thousand join the military, manpower is starting to run low.

-The amount of weapons and armor ordered will take nearly a year to fully finish and a large part of the treasury.

-Food Supplies and gain are stored in the cities, but with no enemy marching most will go to waste if not used.

-Five Warships are built

-The People seem split on the subject of High Rock, many of the warriors are eager to teach the Pirates and Bretons a lesson, while the lower class who are taxed heavily to fund a war begin to openly protest against it.

-Many Redguards seem magic as unhonorable and the few who practice magic can only cast basic destruction spells. 

Wayrest

-Eric has won, with Moorford dead, the people of Wayrest have thrown their support in with the young King. However, even has thousands more flock to his banner the north is held by the Pretender and the Pirates still hold the capital. Even the Redguards remain with a fort on the coast.

- 100 more Knights join Erics Host, and one thousand men.

Crowns

-Many Veterans decide to stay home instead of joining the army, there is no war for them to fight.

-When the host arrives at the border they find several bands of Orcs from one of the many clans in camps  watching them.

-The one thousand men sent to the dwemers across the Crown terrority, but any parties sent into them are nearly wiped out with survivors refusing to enter. Instead they attempt the block up the ruins but they are harassed by what reports claim are  ‘metal demons’.

-8 warships are built.

Daggerfall

-The operation begins and ends without much trouble, several Knights are killed but tens of hideouts are found and burned. The supply of Skooma begins to drop and the violence between gangs also lowers as they are slowly taken out.

-The agricultural projects take off, and funded by the King they are expected to be finished next year.

Orsinium

-The March through Evermore surprises the Breton Kingdom. They had ignored the raiding since its typical for the orcs and paid no attention. The Kingdom was to busy dealing with the civil war in Wayrest to care for the Orcs. However, then a large warband led by the King Atoba himself, the Breton King sends a message demanding they withdraw from Evermore.

 

Stormcloaks 

-Two thousand men join the Stormcloak ranks, however with winter and manpower running low its expect this will be the last wave of recruits for sometime.

-The Jarls loyal to the Empire decline, they shall not break faith nor will they side with the man who murdered the High King.

 

EMPIRE

-While Numerius Mede is able to prevent the Thalmor from any open action, they still begin to crack down on Talos worship in Skyrim and Cyrodiil.

-The reforms continue, still it will take time for the new system to be ready.

-Only one thousand men are raised in Skyrim with winter and low manpower.

Blackmarsh

The Dunmer armies quickly begin to regain control of the land lost in the Blackmarsh invasion. With the man host staying in Blackmarsh they Great Houses of Morrowind are able to free their people and lands.

((Rushed modpost before swim, enjoy a better one next time I promise.))
