The decision would be made to consolidate the gains that the Kingdom of Fyr-Darrick had taken over the years including the bridge that it had fought so hard to reach and ensure that they could begin rebuilding the army to field something that now even the Darykrian’s couldn’t match. The Greenthroat Riders, the mysterious Knights of the Woodland realm had won the day for the army and each of them who had survived would be given honours by the King himself, Prince Anaeran who had commanded the Cavalry would be given particular distinction among those honoured. The Hermitage in the Homeland would be funded to be fully constructed by years end, giving the adepts their wish of having access to the higher lores of magic in regards to the Elder Soul the patron of the Royal Fey. Outside of that there would be no funding for domestic projects due to the high costs of the war that was beginning to mount up after the Battle of the Bridge in the greater War for the Forest. Expenditure 20,000 Would be spent completing the Hermitage of Fyr-Darrick 20,000 Would be spent recruiting 1,800 Greenthroat Guard equipped with Steel equipment. 15,000 Would be spent on recruiting 1,000 Greenthroat Riders to be equipped by T2 Equipment already in storage 1,000 Would be paid to Galahar, in recognition of their mercenaries in service and the supply routes.

“Imagine going after the Elves who helped the humans in so many conflicts in favour of the Elves who still praise their leader who murdered a King of Oren.” Artanis would say

This did leave certain elements of the Homeland undefended and due to this more Light Infantry militia was required to be raised in order to keep the homeland safe and maintain the trade routes for the Fey Merchants moving goods across the borders. Migration would also be an issue due to the fact the newly occupied and conquered territories required new settlers as the humans had otherwise been driven out in all directions, as such the Capital prepares a migration of Fey using the tried and tested supply routes to transport civilians across the year, along with further migration to expand the existing borders to start the long process of connecting the borders. In Darkyria the outlying city had finally been taken along with its keep, many migrants would be sent to populate this new region to expand the borders of the Fey and see the forest truly be populated by people of their faith and race. The campaigning season would however end this year but it would give opportunity for the Fey to send more troops, as it was still going to be a hard slog to finally stamp Darkyria out from the world. Another two regiments would be recruited and equipped with better weapons as the start of a process of outfitting the Fey Army with only the best that could be acquired. Expenditure 5,000 is spent on migration this turn, moving thousands of Fey to the captured Darkyrian City and turning it into a proper Fey City itself. 5,000 is spent on expanding the borders, seeking to begin the process of eventually joining up with the Colony territory deep within the woods in occupied Darkyria. 25,000 is spent on building the first half of a Hermitage somewhere within the Kingdom. 10,000 is spent on building a Merchants Guild in the City of Modryn. 6,000 is spent on creating 1,500 worth of Steel Equipment to be shipped to the front. 1,000 is spent recruiting a unit of light infantry in order to assist maintain order within the borders. 10,000 is spent on recruiting two units of Greenthroat Guard and equipping them with steel weapons, sending them to the front to march off to battle at the beginning of the following campaign season.

Empire of Japan Overview 1933 The Empire of Japan had sat still since the end of the Great War consolidating the many gains it had made throughout the conflict, even if they were but Islands in the pacific they were former European territory and it gave many pride in Japan although others believe the cost outweigh the gains. The Taisho Era had also ended within this current period of time rising with the Shōwa period and ascension of Hirohito the Emperor of Japan, descendent of the Sun Goddess herself. The Americans had collapsed in on themselves, showing the horrors of Republicanism and allowing too much democracy in such a decadent culture and the Imperial Throne, Civil Government and Military Branches were quick to ensure such foolish notions would not spread to their own people. However with the world order rapidly changing it gave Japan another opportunity in history to rise in its economic, industrial and imperial prestige. The Chaos in the Americas proved to be most fortuitous for the burgeoning power in the East, with the collapse of the consumer manufacturing base it was time for the Japanese take full advantage of its own rapidly growing industrial base and to offer certain high skilled Americans asylum in the Country as a type of second Meiji Restoration to encourage more modernisation in the economy and industrial base and how the Japanese urban cities are structured. There was also ample opportunity to seize holdings in the pacific that were otherwise left undefended by a disputed Government in the Americas. Economic Actions The Japanese would enact an ambitious plan of modernisation of the economy seeking to diversify into a lot of large scale manufacturing and financial services. Encouraging and guiding its Zaibatsus (Large Corporate Conglomerates) to expand and seeking to export around the relevant consumer goods markets in the Americas, Europe and so on. (Mod) Economic Experts from the fields of banking, manufacturing and such would be offered asylum in Japan from North America as the civil war stalled and the former nation fragmented, they’d be offered very generous compensation in return for their expert opinions in how to maintain a market system of economy. (Mod) Diplomatic Actions The Fengtian would be covertly offered support from the Empire of Japan, seeking to befriend this Monarchist faction early on in the civil war to stand as a bulwark against Republicanism. (Mod) The Pacific States of America are offered an agreement of trade and at present recognition of their status as an independent nation. (Mod) Military Actions The Army and Navy are instructed by the Civil Government at the behest of the Imperial throne to begin planning out an invasion of the Philippine Islands, gathering intelligence to build a sufficient force to commence an invasion within the year or on the following year if further preparation is needed. Though obviously this would not be public information (Mod) The Imperial Navy is given priority at this time to expand its Destroyers and Cruiser numbers for the next two years as a period of Naval Expansion for two years. (Mod) The Army is promised resources to research a tank project once the Philippines is secured. Research The Imperial Japanese Air Force would be given funding to research into better fighters, typically their resources don’t compete with the Army and Navy due to the lacking steel as much.

“Expected racism, found none. Very impressed and not concerned.” Said Artanis as he reads a pamphlet at the Songbird camp

To the effort of inspiring growth more farmlands are readied to allow the Fey Cities and lands to be less sparsely populated and for life to flourish throughout the Greenthroat. New Elite Units are formed in the home territories as well, in order to send them to assist in the war against the Carrow Lords as to maintain the Greenthroat Pact in order to continue cordial relations with the neighbours of the Fey. War was becoming a fast acquaintance of the people in the Kingdom, having to pay out to meet the ends of one major war their army was fighting and sending support to friends of the Fey for theirs. In the realm of Darkyria the summer had past and the army spent another Winter in this land which day by day is becoming more like the home that they had left so many years ago. The Forest had grown around the City and spread to all territories the Darkyrians could no longer exercise control over, forcing displaced peoples to flee to their capital and leaving their Southernmost city alone and abandoned by their main army, time was now firmly on the side of the Fey Army and there was nothing the necromancers could do about it. Soon the City would be under complete control of the Fey and then they’d finally meet the humans in the field, allowing some frustration to be relieved by bitter soldiers. As the Darkyrian Army grows on the border of the occupied territories they attempt to probe and scout their way through the regrown forests, only to find well placed arrows and ambushes from Greenthroat riders to run them down and send them to the God they revere as they do. The Fey would allow the occasional survivor so that they might tell tales of what they encountered, to see if their fanaticism in the death god outweighed natural instincts to survive that surely the humans must have. With the springs approaching the assault on the City could go ahead as planned, any who would get in the way would be summarily slaughtered, civilians would simply be better off avoiding the marching Fey Columns. Expenditure 15,000 is spent on consolidating the territory around the West Most City of Tal Sivoc which is the Westernmost City of the Kingdom, consolidating the border around the frontier before the interior town of Modryn is seen to. (Modryn is due East of the of Tal Sivoc while the latter is on the Western Frontier) 20,000 is spent on building 4 farms. 500 is spent maintaining supply routes through the Greenthroat from Galahar. 16,000 is spent on recruiting 1,800 Greenthroat Guard with Iron Weapons, they are to be sent to the front upon completion of their training. 7,200 is spent on taking Soldiers from the Home Garrison Greenthroat Guard and upgrading them into Elites with T3 Equipment. Upon their completion that will be sent to aid the Bordeleaux. 7,500 is loaned to the Galaharian Bank.

The Fey Army still had supplies and the Darkyrians would have expended many lives and resources in its defence, a general order would be given that come the next assault all would be considered combatants if they got in the way of the Fey, the fanatical devotion of death by some of the Darkyrians had embittered to any sense of reasonable quarter. More troops would be moved in over the course of the year to help fill replacements of those lost in the assaults. Most of the losses sustained could be accounted for and income was rising back in the homeland, a missive from the King however put some of the Princes in an anxious move, a proposed migration to repopulate the region with Fey. This meant that all humans would be depopulated from the region either through forced migration or effective genocide, there was naught that could be done as the Sages of the Elder Soul had said the Forest demands their removal through whatever means necessary. On the streets of what was to the Fey an unnamed city the scene would be grim, piles of bodies would be burning and smoke would rise as far as the eye could see. From the walls the regrowth of the forest offered respite to many of the fanatical elements of the Fey Army and its leadership, despite the generous offer of civilians leaving many would not as they’d find themselves killed before they’d reach Fey controlled territory in the City. This was but the first siege they’d go through and there was at least another for them to come. Fey Sappers would shore up the defences for the new siege camp around the walls, seeking to ensure no enemy would get the jump on them. This war took grim determination and was beginning to shape the culture of the Fey from within the army and spreading to the capital with the shocking stories that would come out from the warfront. More soldiers being recruited, more armour being produced, the Royal Fey Army seemingly being relied on and discovering the potential of outside threats. Expenditure Another 16,000 would be spent on Trade Caravels once again. 10,000 would be spent on constructing two farms. 10,000 would be spent constructing a temple in the City of Anmyr 500 would be spent with the Galaharian Merchants, maintaining the flow of goods, supplies and men towards the front. 6,000 would be spent recruiting 900 Greenthroat Guard (T2 Unique Infantry) would be recruited and sent to the front for the next year. The equipment required for them would be ready for them at T2 Iron.

Among the leaders of the Army grave news was given as it was discovered by the scouts that the Darykrians were amassing a great army by their capital and had not been sitting idle while the siege goes on. However with the City been under siege for four years now their internal supplies had to be running low. This was the year they could take the City. In coordination with the Bulgar Princes, the Great Stag, Eonir the King of all Fey would begin planning the assaults for the year to attempt to make their breakthrough into the City. The Army had grown tremendously and now was better supplied with new equipment, along with added allies it was hoped that this would be the key to victory this year. With that funds would be set aside to ensure the construction of ample siege equipment for both sides to make use of. The King was determined to see that this be the year that this infernal city would break to his will, so that the Darkyrian Capital could be moved on next. In the homeland the expansion of the territory had been undertaken, a great migration Westward to further establish a new town on the outer fringes of the Kingdoms territory had been undertaken. Believing there was naught in the West was the folly of the Fey of Yore, it had allowed the Darkyrian menace to establish itself as a threat to the very forests. These new settlements would be a priority in ensuring the Fey were the only ones truly populating the Greenthroat. To this effort more natural growth along with the migration would be seen to with the expansion of the farmlands in the Eastward Principalities of the Fey. Military Maneuvers Assaults against the besieged City begin once more in earnest, Mangonels throwing stones at the walls, gates and overhead. Expenditure 16,000 is spent on Trade Caravels 10,000 is spent on two farms. 500 is spent maintaining the trade route with Galahar

The army was larger now and the War Camp was more something of a wooden fort now to house the vast army, the swelling of the ranks likely did nothing to give fear to those who seemingly worshipped death, but it lowered their advantage day by day. While the City may have started the siege with supplies, it had been over a year since they received them and there had been no harvests in two years. Death worshippers they may be but all require food, as the shambling corpses could only be raised for so long. In the Kingdom the Council of Princes had approved yet another expansion of borders, seeking to go further West and eventually over the course of many years grow to cover the entirety of the Green Throat as was demanded by their God. The Forests were solely the home of the Fey and all invaders would eventually be pushed out one way or the other. Even if it takes a thousand years it is the destiny of the Fey. However such was the future, now was the time to merely consolidate territory, expanding West. This no doubt would assist in the transportation of supplies long term. Meanwhile in the Siege Camp.... Within the War Camp inside of the tent reserved for those important, the officers, nobles and even Princes that attached themselves to this army. A young Prince had arrived with the thousands of reinforcements that came in that year, Anaeran was his name and he marched among the regular Fey Spears to the War Camp that year at the behest of his Princely house to join the Kings war effort. His mind was full of wonder seeing this land that had been ravaged by the war, that which was the Greenthroat but raped by the humans. His perspective and ideals challenged seeing what foreigners could do to such a land. He would find himself alone in the War Councils tent, patrols of five or so spearmen would walk past periodically as he’d twiddle a figurine representing one of the armies on the war table betwixt his fingers. His mind drifted and he found himself losing track of his surroundings as he’d think, eventually only being thrown out of it after he noticed the figure standing before him, Eonir the Great Stag. Anaeran would rise to attention “My King!” he’d say almost exclaiming, with a slight stammer as he had been caught in surprise, the figurine falling from his fingers onto the floor below. “At ease Prince, your father sent you here to the warfront as it is expected he will resign his seat on the Council soon. You’ll be given command over a brigade of Cavalry, it will be part of your job to ensure the Darkyrians don’t surprise us with an army.” The King would state, moving to sit at the head of the table as the younger Fey would relax his stance, letting out a relieving sigh “Most on the Council are over a century old, we need to see how you do. After this war there may be more for you to do yet.” the King would finish, before allowing Anaeran to say a word he’d gesture his exit the young Fey Prince having to do so. Anaeran would exit the tent and begin traversing the expansive and quite literally expanding War Camp as new arrivals would even now continue to arrive within the palisades set up to keep the Army safe from ambushes. He’d ponder on the sudden responsibility not only his father wished on him but also the King himself, questioning why now was the time he was chosen for any Military assignments, then there was talk of more. It was a lot for his mind to comprehend until at last he reached his tent. He would rest up as it would seem he’d be in the saddle for potentially the next few years in this Godforsaken part of the Greenthroat. Expenditure 16,000 would be spent on building four trading caravels. 500 is spent placating Galaharian Merchants to keep the supplies going. 5,000 is spent on a new settlement, heading further West. https://i.gyazo.com/5c4d189eb03514e0cd8108d40c7dfdab.png

Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom Late 1921 Poland had finally ratified becoming a Kingdom under the Russian Union through sheer force of will of the Nationalist Party of Poland, lead by Pilsudski, however the price was aligning with the fascists of Poland which has caused increase tension between the ruling Government and the Socialist Party of Poland. Tensions were rising between the Duma and the Sejm of Poland, diplomacy had to be maintained in this trying time. The Dutch Flu still rampaged across the world and now was not the time for Poland to become embroiled in a war with what was an ostensible ally to it, the coronation of King Casimir V of the newly minted Royal House of Czartoryski would be key to winning back support. For the matter of the Socialists it was a difficult one, many leaders of the Socialist Party were former allies of Pilsudski and his Nationalist Party, Fascism seemed to have been rising and his attempted appeasement has only emboldened them and caused a wing of his party to become Ultranationalist. The social strife would have to be settled after the Polish-Lithuanian King had been crowned and then hopefully the wounds between the ideologies could be healed now that much of the wrongs of the past had been righted without bloodshed to boot. The Old Order was collapsing around the world, Poland stood ready to rise in this chaos and become the power it was once was and the power it was meant to be. The Eastern Europeans had been long oppressed by those in the West and now with their economies and overseas empires in disarray the Polish had learned under their former masters on how to build their nation, their economies and avoid the mistakes made. Domestic Political Policy The Coronation of Adam Michal Czartoryski whom is taking the regnal name Casimir V would be planned to be undertaken in the Winter. Marshal Pilsudski would extend the olive branch to the Russian Duma and the Tsar, inviting them to once more build bridges and calm the mood currently prevailing within the Russian Union. Officials from the State of Hungary would also be invited and encouraged to attend. (Mod) The State of Hungary is approached to begin to establish relations with the newly minted State to attempt to begin a friendship between a peoples who have long sought independence but had been under the foot of German Elites. Seeking solidarity and friendship. (Mod) In the sudden collapse of the old world order, skilled engineers, scientists and other highly skilled individuals would be invited to come into Poland to begin work. After sufficient screening for disease or potential spies. (Mod) Lithuanian would become an official language of the Kingdom, it would be mandatory for schools to teach it. Though this would also require Lithuanian Children to be able to speak Polish, the Military itself would be dominated by Poles and to become an Officer would require a Polish test.(Mod) Pilsudski would give a National Address at the Sejm and it would read as follows “In the years in which Poland has achieved effective independence we as Poles and Lithuanians have worked together be you Nationalist, Socialist, Liberal or even Fascist. We now have restored the Crown of Poland-Lithuania that had been stolen by German Elites and even formerly some in Russia. But make no mistake we are a Constitutional Democracy with a Monarchy to ensure the fair and balanced mandates and the Constitution is upheld by any Democratically Elected Government. By no means are we to abandon Democracy, but by no means are we going to let Democracy destroy our Constitution that guarantees the rights of all those within our Country.” It would be a statement effectively condemning political extremes and calling for order and unity between the Political Parties of the Sejm. (Mod) Domestic Economic Policy As per the Four Year Plan the Polish Steel Works continue to receive their subsidies. However with the collapse of Austria and the Anti Semite Emperor of Germany in power the Rothschild Bank is offered a favourable place in the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom to jumpstart the Eastern European Banking Sector. (Mod) With the Port of Klaipeda, Poland would begin to export its goods to whatever markets desired them. Klaipeda itself would be the subject of infrastructural development to make it a proper commercial port. (Mod) The Arms and Automobile Industries now had potential foreign markets to enter, while Poland itself remained quite protectionist in order to allow its fledglings industries thrive it would seek to export to those who would have them. (Mod) Domestic Health Policy With the Dutch Flu on the rage it was time to properly set up health services across the Kingdom, ships arriving in port would be screened and properly quarantine until cleared. Thankfully Polish Protectionist Policies at the time would limit the inflow of people and goods through its new seaports. Treatment for those suffering from the Dutch Flu would be a priority for the newly established Polish National Health Service. Money, resources and help would be given at any turn. (Mod) Domestic Security Policy Pilsudski would begin to get paranoid, from many of his men he would seek to begin to create a Polish Secret Service to act as the Kingdom’s counter-espionage and espionage unit. Only those of high experience, intelligence and loyalty would be selected for this program. Un-Polish-Lithuanian Activities would be sought to be uncovered, from internal dissent to foreign influence. (Mod) Military Policy The Polish Army would remove itself from the border, as a gesture of goodwill to the new Hungarian State, though the Polish Army would be stationed on the border with Germany though nothing out of the ordinary. (Mod) The Polish would seek to enlarge the army with recruits from the new territories, seeking to bolster and strengthen its army. (Mod) Research Should production of the first Armoured Car finish, it would undergo testing in Military exercises to determine its effectiveness. (Mod) Further looking into the concepts of Mechanisation through now presumably incredibly skilled Polish Engineers (YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS MOD)

No assaults for this year more consolidation of their position. Protected caravans would travel up and down from the territory of Galahar and a fee had to be paid to ensure they would keep coming, the greediness of the Galaharian Merchants was to be expected and remembered in future when it is advantageous for the Fey to do so. As such more reliable allies were on their way, the Lithborn of the Kingdom of Bulgar were sending a force to aid the besieging force. The Fey Army would continue to build up for their assaults in the following year, training, drilling and never remaining comfortable. At home strengthening the Economy was needed to maintain the war in the West, Prince Aeleandor had a difficult task ahead of him while he stewarded the realm. The Fey people were never the most industrious nor their merchants out for pure self interest, making it difficult to achieve economic growth. Though to this effort at least a port on the Barrier river would be constructed in the City of Anmyr, the only City with access to the Barrier that would allow for complete Ocean access and increased trade volume between the Fey and those whom they choose as their trade partners. The factories would be put to task creating new weapons as to supply the men in the West. Meanwhile on the warfront…. The Camp Quartermaster would be hard at work filling in order requests and taking inventory, thousands of new men arrived by the year along with more equipment to arm them with, it was a busy time as the army wintered outside the city. Numbers were swelling on the outside, though those on the inside had the capabilities of raising the dead in truth it was unknown what the enemies numbers were. However those living required food and eventually whatever stores they had before will run out. The Harvests outside the walls would be taken or sabotaged to ensure further starvation of the City within. The Infantry would regularly patrol, the Scouts would regularly keep their eyes peeled for enemy activity. It was expected the Darkyrians were amassing an army deeper in the Heartland. The Fey would be ready regardless of if they came or if they waited for the City to fall. Even if the defenders had to be starved to surrender, seeing whether or not the general population are as fanatical as the soldiers if they would greet death willingly or if they’d rather live. Expenditure 15,000 is spent on building a Port in the City of Anmyr, ensuring trade across the Barrier flowing into this allocated port. 12,000 is spent on recruiting 2,000 Medium Infantry to be transported to the front for the following year with T2 Equipment. 500 is spent paying the Galaharian Merchants to maintain their supply routes. Military Maneuvers The Siege would continue, the Army would supervise the planting and harvesting of crops in the surrounding villages, utilising their Cavalry and Reserve Infantry. Due to the relative openness and the superior scouting ability of the Fey it is rather unlikely they’ll be ambushed. The Peasants would be told they’d be compensated in the following year. The Army would ensure a firm but fair treatment of the civilians outside the walls, if one commits a crime it is dealt with firmly but innocence aren’t punished.

The outlying city of the Darkyrian Kingdom would be besieged as it served as the main bulwark against the invading forces of the Fey. The merchants of Galahar were taking full advantage of the situation, with the formation of a supply route for troop replenishments and reinforcements along with regular supplies the Galahar would turn a profit on the hardships of the Fey and Darkyrian alike. At home the Princely Council of the Fey had arranged a political marriage between the Kingdom of Bulgar and the Kingdom of Fyr-Darrick, uniting the Lithborn and Fey in a union of friendship and compassion. Though the obvious ulterior motives were perhaps the long term involvement of the Lithborn armies in their war against the necromantic Kingdom to the West of them deep in the Greenthroat. For now only Galahar were aware of the war in the Greenthroat and they intended to take full advantage of it. Within the Warcamp of the Great Stag, the King of the Fey and of Fyr-Darrick the mood was dour, many of the Officers within the army were optimistic hoping they’d be able to take the Darkyrians by surprise but evidently they had prepared and plans had to be changed in order to achieve victory in this war. It would be a long war, perhaps the last war of the Great Stag. The mood in the Royal tent was one of discontent, some voices wishing to go home. “We were too optimistic in our march, we thought we could rush in and take down the Kingdom within a year. They knew we were coming, which means they caught one of your scouts.” An officer would state, looking the leader of the Eyes of the Forest in the tent with some contempt. “The Scouts were fresh, it is regrettable but we can’t do anything about it now. Our God demands we remove this stain from the world, they raise the dead and must be stopped.” the Veteran Archer says. The King would sit staring daggers at the table as those around him would bicker. Eonir would stand and begin wandering over to the entrance of his tent as those around him would continue to discuss the war. The Fey King would look on in the distance seeing the City that was blocking his campaign that had become his obstacle that could claim his life should he lack proper caution. He would finally break his silence “We will stay here, we will use the Galaharians to supply us and we will maintain constant and total war until we’ve been victorious or until we’ve all been killed.” The War Council would fall silent and all look to their King, they would remain composed in an almost uniform stoicism betraying little emotion. “Yes my King.” the lead Archer would say, before the rest of the Council would follow suit. In the Capital, Prince Aeleandor would send word to the Bulgar. Expenditure 10,000 would be spent on Siege Equipment. 500 would be spent on securing the Galaharian supply routes for troop transport and supplies. 15,000 would be spent on a Military Academy in the homeland. 8,000 would be spent on recruiting 1,000 Medium Infantry with T2 Equipment which would be transported to the War Camp in Darkyria 2,000 would be spent on T2 Equipment and transporting it to supply an additional 1,000 Medium Infantry with said equipment. Military and Adventure Maneuvers The Army in Darkyria would begin to settle in for the Winter, the supply routes established to limit attrition. Adepts would be used to ensure disease wouldn’t be spread using rituals.

State of Poland Overview Early 1921 The State of Poland would progress further into the 20th Century with the end of the first of the Four Year Plans. The Nationalist Government would immediately begin the implementation of the second Four Year Plan to continue the consecutive industrialisation and economic growth of Poland. Domestic Political Policy Campaigning by the Nationalist and Fascists for a new Monarch of Poland from a traditional Polish-Lithuanian Noble House would be well under way. The Poll being scheduled for the second part of the year in 1921. Pilsudski promoting the idea of a Polish Monarch allowing traditional Polish Culture and Catholic practises to be undertaken once again, promoting the Crown as a symbol of renewed National Sovereignty. (Mod) The Government would seek to create some form of limited National Health Service in order to combat Dutch Flu that persists in part of the Country. Other measures to combat the Dutch Flu would be undertaken and research would be funded. (Mod) Domestic Economic Policy A New Four Year Plan is begun to be implemented, this time it is focused on two key areas more Industrial Manufacturing and Financial Services. Poland needed Banks, Credit and Capital from Domestic means and more Heavy Industry. In the year of 1921 the focus would be building Polish Native Steel Works. (Mod) The Arms and Automobile Industries would also receive subsidies! (Mod) Military Policy 300,000 Polish Army Regulars would be ordered to the border with the United Kingdoms of the Austrian Empire, with the ongoing war between the Central Powers and Austria it was seen as important to maintain security across the border. (Mod) Research Research would continue in the concept of Armoured Vehicles, the Nationalist Government would set Companies to compete against each other for a contract in mass production of Armoured Cars.

The Great Elk mounts of the riders were unsaddled and unhitched simply strolling close to the camp, the markings of the Elder Soul glowing off their fur and antlers as darkness fell on the army. The camp itself would be situated in one of the many glades that can be found in the forests of the Greenthroat, allowing the Fey to see the sky and the green fireflies that illuminated it around them. King Eonir would stray to the edge of the camp seeking the solitude of the forests at this late hour, knowing it was but hours before the Army would go on its long march again, the King himself being an Elder Fey only sleeps but a few hours a night, requiring little time in the camp. The King would sigh, staring into the abyss that is the greater forest, listening to the various animals, insects and birds that would be out during the late hours. In the corner of his eye he would spot one of the Eyes of the Forests in the trees, simply watching him. “Is it not treason to spy on your King?” Eonir would ask, though not turning his head to the Scout. “Forgive me my King, but the Eyes of the Forest must never cease their gaze on the King. We lost two Scouts to the enemy, one may have been captured, they may know we’re coming.” the Eye of the Forest responds, descending from the tree. “Why is it that out of ten, only eight returned?” Eonir would inquire to the Fey Archer, “They were fresh, as is most of the Army.” the lone Scout would respond, letting out a sigh over his fallen brothers. “Then we will improve some of your numbers and send you forward to scout the enemy.” The King states, the Eye of the Forest nodding to his monarch before returning to his post and maintaining his vigil over the King of the Fey. After the morning came, the training would begin as the Army would march onwards towards their foe, whether or not they knew about the impending war on their lands was irrelevant the forest was home to the Fey and none could prepare for an army of Fey. Back in the borders of the Kingdom of Fyr-Darrick the High Priestess Dycha and the favoured Prince Aeleandor would rule in the stead of the King, maintaining the role of Steward so that the Kingdom might function in the meantime. With the High Priestesses influence on the Kingdom much of the treasury would be dedicated to religious and magical pursuits, as such a Shrine to the Elder Soul would be erected costing the treasury much of its income this year, coupled with the pressures of training units to veterancy and the upkeep that will come with that the financial pressures of the Kingdom would be raised but careful spending would be kept to ensure the budget surplus. The outsiders would be blissfully ignorant of the movements of the Fey Army, none would know that it had marched from the Borders of the Kingdom the previous year allowing the Kingdom to maintain its influence through its strong army. Merchants travelling in the Kingdom would be heavily guarded by the remaining Greenthroat Riders and other Military units to maintain this facade, it was of the utmost importance that all foreigners believed the Fey Army was within striking distance of them at all times. Other than that an expedition was required to scout the lands to the North Expenditure 2,000 would be spend on raising one unit of Light Archers and Light Infantry to Veterancy 20,000 would be spent on building a Shrine to the Elder Soul 2,000 would be spent on an expedition North Military and Adventure Maneuvers The Army would continue to March Westward An Expedition would be sent North
