Midnight Ride into the Grand King’s Realm; The Death of a Beard. “Promise me now to not seek human allies. This war is to be kept between Oren and Urguan… alone,” said Emperor Philip III. “O'I mus' decline yer offeh. T'ank yeh t'ough, ef o'I weren't about teh die, o'I'd keep yer mercy in moind. Keep et quick lad.” Grand King Ulfric Frostbeard in reply to his Imperial Majesty’s offer. 20th of Owyn’s Flame, 1850. It was late in the night when twelve brave souls set out under the guidance of the General of the ISA, Erik var Ruthern, riding across the countryside on horseback with a brigade of men at his back. The night was cold with a bitter wind, yet those who rode together continued without relent on their journey towards Urguan - not a word was spoken amongst them. They were upon the foreign lands of the Grand King of Urguan within the Saint’s hour. An impasse was amongst the men, as they argued where the roads would take them. Sergeant Julian Ein Stark and Private First Class Ivan var Ruthern argued that they should take their party to the Capital of Urguan, praying upon the fact that a key figure would be present. The city was empty as the twelve collectively made their way through it in search of any half-men. They searched every corner until their last destination; the throne room. As they gathered together and exchanged hushed words, one pointed to a window above. There, the Grand King of Urguan Ulfric Frostbeard and the Dowager-Duchess of Adria, Charlotte Augusta, sat with one another, within the Grand King's private chambers. The soldiers started forth without another thought and made their way to the stairs. Several volunteered to stay behind to keep watch for any others. Door by door, the other group gained further access into the unknown private confines. “Search all the rooms,” demanded the General. Each door they encountered the soldiers made their way through and found no one. Again, they searched the rooms until Amelia Hughes called loudly to the group and pointed out the door. Ivan var Ruthern stepped forth with an axe and bashed it in, and there behind the door were the two. The majority of the men moved downstairs, preparing for a fight while the Grand King was bound and captured by Aesar Melphaestus and Private Ruthern. Within minutes of the capture, the soldiers were engaged in a fight in the square of the city led at the command of Varon Draskovic and General Erik var Ruthern. A long and hard fought battle ensued, consisting of the best soldiers from both sides. Skirmishes took place across the center of the Dwarven city, with both sides clashing into each other numerous times with no fatal injuries taken from either side. The conflict continued, with a valiant charge being led by Varon Draskovic across the center of the city, another bloody melee ensuing. At this point, the battle was close though it was swaying in the Imperial State Armies favour, and they successfully routed the Dwarves within their own Capital. The Great City of Kal'Darakaan, Capital of Urguan had been captured. Their defenders killed or hiding, and the gates shut on their own warriors. Following this ordeal, an attempt at finding escape was done, with Amelia Hughes, Leopold Draskovic and Ezkaton finding an escape through the rail-lines of the Grand Kingdom. Ivan var Ruthern, Ezkaton and Aesar retreated from the Grand City, the Dwarven King mounted upon their back.. they made it home with the Grand King upon the steed, glad that their most bold endeavour was successful. The Dwarven King was then escorted to the throne room of the Imperial palace and taken before Emperor Philip III and Empress Anastasia. A crowd gathered there, with people pouring in to witness what the criers had called for: the captured king. Ulfric was knelt before the monarchs. Philip III greeted the Grand King as he looked down upon him, “Promise me now to not seek human allies. This war is to be kept between Oren and Urguan… alone.” The dwarven king retorted, “O'I mus' decline yer offeh. T'ank yeh t'ough, ef o'I weren't about teh die, o'I'd keep yer mercy in moind. Keep et quick lad.” At the order of the Emperor, the beard of King Ulfric was removed at the hand of Ivan var Ruthern. Then a branding was called for, and Duncan Vuiller approached the dais to do the task. The name ‘DUNCAN’ was branded into his left cheek. “Ask for Duncan and so shall you receive.” Few more words were exchanged until, at the order of the Emperor, the Dwarven King was released by a crowd of Orenian citizens at the front gate of New Providence. Oren aut Mortem. One God, One Empire, One Emperor, One Empress. Long live Emperor Philip III and Empress Anastasya of Kositz. Long may they reign. Below are the names of the brave Orenians who risked their lives and everything they hold dear to serve GOD and the Empire. Long may the names be remembered for their heroic actions.

SUPERNOVA Backstory As privately funded space flight became more and more common humanity reaching beyond the stars seemed more and more realistic. By 2065 A permanent base had been established on the moon, within the next generation Mars was colonized. Humanity spread throughout the stars and the governments of Earth formed into the United Earth Dominion (UED). In the year 2105 Doctor Amanda Packers develops the Jumpdrive allowing ships to quickly move from one point in space to another by traveling through Jumpspace. It works by using particle accelerators to rip apart normal space-time and travel quickly through it in ‘Jumpspace.’ By 2207 several plants had been colonized beyond the Solar system and began to flourish. This was considered by many a golden age in humanity’s quest for exploration. However, it comes to an end in 2434 as the UED suffers from internal fighting as colonies want to break off as they grew tired of being under the thumb of Earth. Soon war between the UED and independence movements break out and grips all of humanity. Entire plants are wiped out and great atrocities committed by both sides force many to seek a safe haven. In 2454 a wormhole is found leading to another galaxy as several probes were sent through. Many worlds and factions took this as a chance to escape the twenty years of conflict. Fleets of ships escape through the wormhole and begin to establish new colonies and enclaves far from the fighting. Just ten years after the wormhole was opened in 2464 the wormhole closes and all who traveled through it were now trapped totally cut off from their home galaxy. From the ships that crossed over the Confederation of Worlds was formed and the new worlds had peace for a time. Many expanded through the new galaxy settling in new Systems. This brief period of expansion and exploration only lasted a generation before many problems which once plagued the UED rose in the Confederation. Many worlds began to declare independence, or simply cut off communications altogether. The Commonwealth is left with a grip on only a few systems, and its power failing room now is open for new powers to rise from among the newly freed worlds, or even beyond! WELCOME TO SUPERNOVA!
