Grandeza Of Taneth “War time my Sandy boys, no yellow elf man will take down the statue of Morwha, for the great statue of Genitalia!!!” ~Casimir Christophe Overview Population: 156,600 Red Guard Population growth per year: 10,250(8,500 Base + 750 FNS Act + 1,000 Genital Statue) Military size: 9,350 AP this turn: 15 AP (6 Base + (3 Trade) + (5 Economy) + (1 From Provinces)) AP in treasury: 0 Buildings Small Farms (4 AP Invested) Army Total Military size: 9,350 Max Military Size: 51,223 Light Infantry: 5,000 Heavy Infantry: 2,100 Light Cavalry: 2,250 Heavy Cavalry: 0 Shock Battlegroups: 5,000 Light Infantry 2,250 Light Cavalry Shield Battlegroups: 1,500 Heavy Infantry Arrow Battlegroups (Elite): 600 Heavy Infantry Navy Cogs: 8 Galleys: 2 Caravel: 1 Economic Report AP this turn: 15 (6 Base + (+3 Trade)(+5 Economy)(+1 Provinces)) AP in treasury: 0 Trade Partners: Riften, Rihad, Gilane Projects Army Organization (0 AP Invested) Economic Investment (50 AP Invested) Food and Supply Act = Complete Cavalry Raid Tactics (1 AP Invested) Ship Barrier's (Full Coast) (10 AP Invested) Discipline (16 AP Invested) Anti-Mage Warfare (6 AP Invested) Leader Report Casimir Christophe (43) Lesheda Christophe (34) Tona (27) Technological Report Ship Designs (2 AP invested) = Complete Actions 3,000 Light Infantry and 1,000 Heavy Infantry are to be recruited (-12 AP) 10 Oil Pots are ordered for the defense of Taneth (-3 AP) The entire army is set to defend the walls of the Taneth, Led by Christophe and Tona, with Tona controlling the elite Heavy Troops (-0 AP)((Mod)) A grand speech is made to the people in the defense of Taneth (-0 AP)((Mod)) Emissaries are sent out by the cover of night to request aid from the fair lords of Tamriel (-0 AP)

Brotherhood of Morwha “These Altmer have been around for far too long, it is time we take actions to defy these heathens and show them what Hammerfell stands for” Christophe says to Tona as he orders the training of more troops over the Altmers “limits”. “Grand Master, I am glad you finally decided to end this pitiful compliance with the Altmer” Tona responds, “It was only for their coin my protégé, though I have to say, I am proud of how much initiative you’ve shown you will make an excellent leader… but it is time for a change, we have been the brotherhood for a long time and I think it is time we become more… we cannot claim to be a kingdom so we shall be the Brotherhood of Morwha”. Seeing that the brotherhood has become more of what it once was, Christophe ordered the change of title for the Brotherhood as fit for a soon to be war and the mass increase in "expressive" gestures.

Looking to further their strength against future foes.

The Brotherhood of the Sword “These Altmer… believe that their magic will save them and bring them to rule Hammerfell, but they forget that we, the Redguard shall always be the ones to put them in their place” ~Casimir Christophe Plans are made to prepare the cities for ay possible naval invasion, seeing that the Brotherhood navy is insufficient to hold off any invasion. As well Casimir looked over at the Altmer troops garrisoned in the capital and realized the distinct use of mages in the Altmer army, so Casimir goes to Tona: “Tona, the Altmer army is a very simple force. Except for the mages within their ranks. The mages in the army are going to be an issue so we must find a way to combat them” Tona responds “I shall gather the commanders and see what we can do, train the forces in the of the blade, train them against the magical arts and see what improvements can be made”.

The Brotherhood of the Sword “The people of the Brotherhood, we have been put in a very unfortunate circumstance that will have some benefits and some future consequences. The Altmer kingdom has demanded we support them or we parish in return for this they will give extreme support to the economy and the people of the Brotherhood. In this event we are choosing the long road to victory and taking this opportunity to expand the Brotherhood’s power tremendously. This will not be easy or simple, but these Altmer will vastly fund the Brotherhood and aid us in the wars we have to come. Allow me to make this as clear as glass, the Altmer, is ONLY a temporary issue that we must tolerate. No matter what we will forever be the Brotherhood, and nobody will ever take that from us. Eventually they will be forced out of our lands and it will be a difficult trial for all of us. Eventually the Brotherhood will rise from the sands and strike down all those who oppress us.

The Brotherhood of the Sword  “Well if these people love their … ‘unique’ statue so much, who am I to not put it back up?” ~Casimir Christophe Seeing the error in his previous protégé, and the consequences of his choice Casimir decides it would be best to acquire a new protégé via a new system of trial. Christophe says “A Trial by wits, strength, and skill, only a true General and warrior can pass this trial, many will go into these ‘War Games’ but only one leader will come out, and that deadly, brilliant man, will become my heir”. Christrophe challenges all those who dare to join this trial to gather men in the field between Taneth and Morokath where a trial will begin placing the leader’s and their men against other groups. With war waging over in Skyrim, Christophe sees that the Brotherhood’s military may not be sufficient to stand in war, so he goes to commander’s and demands “Round up as many men as you can, I want at least 3,000 to be drilled and trained so that the Redgaurd remain the true Swordsmen that we are!”. After scrutinizing the history of Hammerfell in his study, Christophe determined that something must be left behind from the great events that occurred and the civilizations that stood before. Christophe demanded that the Brotherhood’s lands be searched for artifacts of use. Ensuring that nothing stops these explorers, he also ordered the Arrow Battlegroup to defend these explorers and ensure their search is protected.

The Brotherhood of the Sword  With the success of the Naval research coming to light, Christophe decides which designs shall be used. Considering recent success in the cities, the Brotherhood invests a large sum into economic prosperity. With Gogaas’ mixed success and the Army’s preference to Tlorkum, Christophe offers Gogaas one last chance to prove his worth in the most important matter, leadership of the populace, Christophe states “If you fail at this task, then you cannot be the protégé and heir to this land, only a leader may lead, and you may not be a military man, but you are a shrewd merchant, so make a bargain to the army to prove your worth, let them decide”. This is the final trial for Gogaas, if he succeeds at gaining the trust of the army then he remains, but Christophe understands it will be difficult. As the Food and Supply Act has more than great success, A festival of Fertility and Family is held so that “Those can love one another for more than just a free sweetroll”. Realizing the Redguard’s superiority in Light Cavalry, Christophe orders Tlorkum to train them in the art of Raiding Tactics to pillage and sabotage enemies. Seeing, the spy killed and his head roll on the gates of Taneth was very appalling, so Christophe sends an Envoy to Rihad and Gilane to see what they think of Sentinel. Christophe begins to look to the gods during this time of great concern, and one night… one really drunken and possibly hallucinogenic night, Christophe claims a god came to him and the night and told him “The Brotherhood is the embodiment of the gods, and you are the Prophet, go unto your people and show them the true way of Yokuda, bring unto them the truth, and bring unto heretics the fire and flame for which they deserve”. He goes to his advisor the next day proclaiming, “This is the Kingdom of the Gods, and we… WE ARE THEIR INSTRUMENT!!!”. (Though his advisor just thought he drank too much ale the night before… he still began a push to a religious focus) Overview Population: 64,350 Red Guard Population growth per year: 9,250(8,500 Base + 750 FNS Act) Military size: 6,250 AP this turn: 11 AP (6 Base + (3 Trade) + (1 Economy) + (1 for One Turn)) AP in treasury: 0 Buildings Small Farms (3 AP Invested) Army Total Military size: 6,250 Light Infantry: 3,500 Heavy Infantry: 600 Light Cavalry: 2,250 Heavy Cavalry: 0 Navy Caravel: 1 Economic Report AP this turn: 11 (6 Base + (+3 Trade)(+1 Economy)(+1 For One Turn)) AP in treasury: 0 Trade Partners: Riften, Rihad, Gilane Projects Army Organization (0 AP Invested) Economic Investment (12 AP Invested) Food and Supply Act = Complete Leader Report Casimir Christophe (34) Lesheda Christophe (27) Gogaas Caorman (22) Baurean Tlorkum (24) Technological Report Ship Designs (2 AP invested) = Complete Actions The first design is selected for the Carracks (Gorsair Design), favoring armor and size of ship, and the Caravels are of the second design (Cloak Design), favoring maneuverability for the lighter ships.

(-0 AP)

The Brotherhood of the Sword  Christophe began to grow concerned for his Cavalry forces, seeing them lacking in number. In the next few months he began to recruit 1,500 more Light Cavalry to strengthen the Shock battlegroups. With the founding of a new town the Grand Master sought to expand the economy by investing some coin and time into businesses. As he continued with the teaching of his protégé, he was disappointed with his military training, so Gogaas was instructed to train with the Light Infantry hoping to further enhance military skill in his pupil. While ensuring Gogaas was also remaining to his advisor duties, he asked Gogaas to bolster trade relations with the Brotherhood’s trade partners, especially Riften. Wondering who are possible allies in the realm, the Grand Master sends a diplomat to Sentinel to figure out who else if possible is hated by Sentinel. After spending many nights by himself, with merely a spicy book and his right hand, Christophe searches for a wife to help him not be a lonely idiot. In the wake of the sandstorms and understanding that the current city farms may not be enough for the Brotherhood's interests, Christophe establishes the Food and Supply Act: requiring families to have their own personal farms in the event that the cities can not provide enough the citizens shall provide for themselves and the government. Understanding Tlorkum's request for these troops, Christophe grants him the soldiers but demands they remain as a new and separate group now known as the "1st Arrow Battle Group". With the Sea Raiders roaming the seas, more thought is put into the naval designs and Christophe invests more time and manpower into the project, seeking to find a counter to these Sea Raider's numbers.

The Brotherhood of the Sword After a long night in his study, Christophe looks over to his military and makes the decision to reform the army into a more legitimate and organized system. The army is to separate into different sections: The Shock, The Shield, and The Arrow. The Shock being mostly comprised of Cavalry and Light Infantry will be the hammer of the Brotherhood’s forces to cripple foes. The Shield will be the heavy line of pure strength of the in the troops, comprising Heavy Infantry and Heavy Cavalry that will bash and break the enemy. The Arrow, being the elite of the army will be comprised of veteran and elite troops meant to inflict the most damage on opponent’s, this group contains all types of troops whom prove true loyalty and skill in the army. The system is put in place and extreme trials are set up for those willing to attempt for a position in The Arrow battlegroups. After realizing Baurean Tlorkum was the only adequate person able to lead troops he is set as the General of the Shock Battlegroups, leaving Christophe in charge of the other two. In an effort to resume Gogaas’ training, Christophe sends him to train with the Light Cavalry, attempting to find him a suitable strength in a form of combat. As the diplomatic situation became clear to Christophe, he looked to improve relations with Gilane and Rihad. More especially looking for possible allies to counter the Lord of Sentinel. Feeling that the navy was insufficient currently Christophe studies designs for more sophisticated ship designs to begin the Brotherhood’s rise to naval supremacy. With the scouting report from the troops a long while back proving successful, Christophe orders 1,000 light infantry to secure the adjacent western coastal province as a new settlement is built for the people.

The Brotherhood of the Sword  Following the rising of the Brotherhood flag over Taneth, the people celebrated with a speech from the Grand Master Christophe: "We are the people of Hammerfell, over centuries many people have come to claim our lands of Alik'r and all of our holdings. And time and time again we come back stronger than ever! We have fought blood and teeth to survive the Flu and keep our town together. but now that time of fear and pain is over. We must now rise like a beast of the sand, and strike down our foes and bring the true Hammerfell back into order. We are the Brotherhood, live and die by the sword, live and breathe by the sword, live and kill by the sword! The only thing we had to use to survive is our brotherhood and our (Curved)swords which have carried us far and wide to properity. Now let these swords bring us into a new era of strength and honor, for the Kingdom, for the Brotherhood, and for the Sword!" The Grand Master Christophe begins organizing his people and giving them discipline on the terms of the Brotherhood, he went on to train 1,000 troops with 500 being sent to guard trade with a new friend. Following this Christophe began searching for a willing and devoted recruit to eventually take his mantle after his passing, with Christophe searching through his most devoted and capable soldiers.
