Forces of War:elves

Luana:The capital fiefdom of the Elven Empire, there is no city more majestic the Luana. Built around 2000bdc the city has been burned to the ground twice(the second time was an accident) and has come back stronger each time. It is home to the Lacel go Nalar(Palace of Magic) where the greatest magis come to learn. It also features the Woltrom go Theolic(Tower of Death) where the still fresh bodies of all the commanders who have dared to attack Luana are still hanging; with the exception of one empty noose.

Xelmar:Xelmar is a fiefdom that is made up of a chain of several islands. As a result the men and women of Xelmar are some of the finest sailors and marines outside of Stygia and they are exceptionally tough. In addition, the trees there have an almost magic quality to them and, as a result, the ships built there are second only to Garmaria's in quality, but, behind Vissaria in quantity. While many have attempted sea borne invasions, only Slinga's Sea Slayaz' have ever raided the islands(an attack in which Xelmar still hasn't recovered from.

Gascoal:Gascoal is the a fiefdom that sits near the borders of the Gnomeish Trade Republic. As a result, the warriors here are very hardened by almost constant warfare. In addition, Gascoal is one of the few fiefdoms to deploy the Lesolek'feles(Silver Arrows(ballistas)) in large quantities. While this has earned them much ridicule, not one elf noble can argue with the low casualties and sheer number of wins they have.

Solarian:Solarian is the only fiefdom to be in a mountain range. While this has earned them much scorn over the years, most notably the nickname Fol'gavs(Fake Dwarfs), they are also the only fiefdom that can produce the much feared Delcoric'racter(Dragon Riders) without have to import them. In addition, this fiefdom alone supplies almost a third of the iron and almost all of the Rals'taln(Sky Metal) that is used by the Elves. Unfortunately, Solarian is currently under attack by Trolls hell bent on,"Findin' a propa plac to hide da boddies."

legends of War:Relenfeast, 28 days of joy

Relenfeast is a 28 day festival in the Dominion and it ends with the Dominque's Masquerade in Albion. It celebrates the birth of Dominque and is a time of happiness. On the first day of Relenfeast people must set a goal for themselves to achieve and, if they complete it before the Dominque's Masquerade, then they will have good fortune for ten times as many days as it took to accomplish. All the while the cities, towns, and villages bustle with performers, vendors, and brewers galore as the people celebrate the birth of Dominque. Then, on the last day, all the halls, squares, castles, and even fortresses hold grand galas and people of all classes give presents to one another (with the assurance of being given back 5 fold over the next year due to their kindness).

However, none of the parties compare to the Dominque's Masquerade, which also functions as the current Dominque's birthday. There, high ranking nobles, generals, and even foreign leaders dance and feast the night away. Attendance to the Masqurade is by invitation only(except for Dominque Willham who let anyone in, and was murdered by a gnome). The Masquerade is also a time to strengthen or form political bounds with the other powers. However, not everyone accepts the invitations, and people always look forward to the creative ways they reject them.

Two of the most famous rejections have even left their mark on history. When Dominque Gustraf the third invited the ruler of the Stygian city-state of Cretus they misinterpreted it as demand of fealty and, due to being angry, he kicked the messenger off a cliff and immediately headed towards the Dominion. Unfortunately he didn't realize that the Dominion get cold during Snowstess and almost 4/5ths of his army froze to death before he was eaten by a bear and they finally turned back (attempts to submit to the Dominion were met with no small amount of confusion). The other famous incident was when Karen the Exaulted came to power, Domique Rapheal decided to try to foster good relations with her and sent over an invitation. Unfortunately, the messenger interrupted a ceremony that can only be done once every 10,000 years and Karen was so enraged that she turned to messenger into a zombie, sent it back to the Dominion's palace, had it appear before the Dominque and say, "Let's see how you like it!", before the zombie ran off (to this day it hasn't been captured and is creating all sorts of problems for the servants) and then Luciena declared war on the Dominion. However, the rejections are rare occurrences and many wars have been averted due to the Dominque's generosity during Relenfeast.

forces of war:Scarecrows

The Grand Forge:The first and largest of all the black forges, the Grand Forge is without a doubt one of the most powerful places in the world. It is rumored that it has almost no slaves and that the only resident is Lord Carl himself. It has a large manufacturing capability but it is mainly geared towards creating the time portal. In times of dire need, as discovered by a Dominion army, it can turn in to an overtime mode which requires extremely large bellows, wheels, and other contraptions(which coincidentally plays a creepy song) to turn out scarecrows faster then a thousand cannons can take them out.

Batch Forge: The Batch Forge is an oddly small black forge that wouldn't be important if it didn't rest on the coast. It is from her that the ships of the "Black Armada" a forged in much the same way as the Scarecrows are.While the ships it builds aren't very good, they are exceptionally numerous and they can build 50 of them in less time then it take to build one regular ship. With odds like these on their side, it is no wonder why the Black Armada can only be defeated through equal numbers.

Fabricator Forge: The Fabricator Forge is the closest black forge to the Dominion. It is unknown whether it is the close proximity to people, or some whim of the leader, but it has the highest number of slaves anywhere in the world. In fact, it has so many slaves that often whole armies of them will go out without the support of any Scarecrows AND they will return victorious. At the same time, the number of scarecrows it produces are vast and it is only a matter of time before they overrun the entire Dominion.

forces of war:Stygia

SERATAS: A warrior nation, where all children are raised to fight as soon as they stand on their own two feet. By the time they reach adulthood, they are finely tuned killing machines. It is usually Seratas who leads all the wars in the name of Stygia. Although from time to time, Seratas was firmly clinging to independence.

ATIKUS: Where Seratas is raising a warrior nation, Atikus is forming a democratic republic. In the Stygian world, art is the way of life, poetry & prose alike, & there is no greater cultural & educational center then Atikus. Atikus is fully open to trade & diplomatic engagements with other nations, but they still have a formidable army, prepared to strike those who dare oppose Stygia.

CRETUS: Cretus is definitely among the oldest of the Greek city-states, as well the largest & arguably, the greatest. It does not only combine the artistic & intellectual culture of Atikus, but their army is highly trained & highly skilled, able to match even the ones of Seratas. Bulls are revered as holy animals, so all creatures on hooves are welcome, mainly Plain Riders. However, those who disobey the rules are tossed into a genius labyrinth, never to return.

NEKRA: Once considered a city that has fallen long long ago, but recently, the city seemed to have bin teeming with vile energies. Soon soldiers would appear & butcher the foes of the Stygian race would be mercilessly slaughtered. These warriors are no longer among the living, nor they are truly dead. As these horrors rise from their necropolis, only the name of the Stygian god of the underworld echoes...Adis...

SYNNEFOPOLIS: A great city, engineered by a technological genius among Stygians, a man named Michanikos. Even though this steam-fueled city has only bin airborne for a few years, it has seen a lot of action. It's primary weapons are not like the ones of other armies, who use guns & cannons. The Stygians use something a lot more frightening, a perfectly modified glass turret that uses the power of the Sn God to burn their foes alive from a distance.

Forces of war:Goblins

Sling's Se Slayaz: Slinga is the supa genius boss of the Se Slayaz goblin tribe and the current ruler of MY CITY!. The Sea Slayaz are most famous for 2 battles in particular: Da Batta at da Se Side Town Fing(Sack of Pier Hallot) and Dat Big Midnigt Bass at Da Dwarf's Mega Cannon Castle Dat Was Den Burnd Up(The Razing of Meved). However what is more spectacular is that these attacks happened almost 400years apart from each other under the banner of the same goblin. In addition some goblin scrolls have shown the pictograph for Slinga some 5000 years ago. While many people theorize that this may just be a title, anyone who has met this long cloaked crocked hatted goblin have to admit that he seems to have that much knowledge in his head.

Seseom's Sribes: Sesoem's Scribes are a tribe of goblins unlike any other simply do to asking the right thing at the right time. During a goblin corpse fire Sesoem gifted these goblins with 2 long scrolls: the Scroll of the History of Our Sons(about 60feet long) and the Scroll of the Future That May Never Come. Shortly after they received the scrolls a Stygian raid captured the Scroll of the History of Our Sons and after Dominique(who was quite fluent in all languages) read the Prophecy of Epoch, King Kataktitis, believing it was about him, raised the largest army Stygia had ever seen and went to invade the mainland. Seseom's Scribes formed managed to get into the Grand Alliance by bargaining the Banner of Coadunation for the ability to retrieve their scroll. After The First Battle the goblins retrieved the scroll and they helped create the Citadel of Knowledge in Albion. While the tribe's location is well and truly known the location of it's scrolls are a secret they have kept for nearly 2000 years.

Legends of war:Slave rebs, the Aequalitas Pox

"Is this a riot?
No sir. THIS, is a revolution."
-recorded conversation of Lord Field Marshell upon hearing of the beginning of the Aequalitas Revolution

As most everyone knows Garmaria is one of the most advanced and dangerous countries in the entire world.They are also one of the largest users of slaves, third only to the Elves and Scarecrows. In fact they have so many slaves that approximately 40% of their population consists of slaves. For a long time they managed to keep these slaves under hard watch and the technological superiority of the Garmarian army also helped to deter them from revolting. But eventually, there is always a breaking point.

In the early days of 1870 adc a slave named Robred began spreading of a new society where every one was equal, where there were no slaves, were everyone worked to the best of their capacity, where everyone had the same amount of possessions; essentially an equal society named Aequalitas. The slaves took this to heart and, on one hot and dry day, they revolted. The revolution spread quickly tacking over all of the farmlands almost immediately as well as the port of Delfergar, which they renamed Liberty. For almost a solid week the slaves were in control of almost all of Garmaria including the fortress of Gartelmead(renamed Castle Equality), the iron mines of mountain Mergrad(Mount Life), and the facrtum city of Develmedly(razed to the ground to honor the slaves who had died there) and they controlled almost 30% of Fransferd. Unfortunately for them, the campaign season was almost over.

The 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 17th armies were en rout home when they heard the news. They tried heading straight for the capital but found it blockaded by around 56 warships from the Mutiny Navy(title given to ships that the slaves revolted on) and over a hundred stolen aeroplanes. In a daring move spearheaded by the 3rd,5th and 9th naval squadron(around 18 warships) and what remained of the Garmarian Royal Air Corps(about 27 scouts and 3 bombers) launched an attack around sextum on octum 17th 1870. The battle raged for around 6 hours pitting the sheer numbers of the mutiny navy and air corp against the skill of the Garmarian Royal Navy and their loyalist slaves(whom were never actually told who they were fighting). The battle reached a hallmark when the Mutiny Navy's flag ship, the Unbreakable(formerly GRN Discipline), exploded after being hit with a full broad side from the GRN Deuterium which caused what remained of the Mutiny Navy(about 9 ships escaped the battle with the rest being destroyed or surrendered)  to break.

With the naval and areo blockade of Fransferd broken and the majority of the Mutiny Navy broken, surrendered, or destroyed the Garmaian Royal Army managed to land. With fresh troops, and aided by the brand new "tank", the Slave Rebs were quickly pushed back. Eventually a stalemate developed and the Slave Rebs managed to hold on to the south-eastern part of Garmaria. While the rebellion was estimated to eventually run out of steam, to this day, it is still going on as strong as ever with slaves escaping their cruel masters almost every day to bolster the Aequalitas revolution. Worse still, the idea has appealed to some of the citizens of Garmaria who are trying to help it in any way possible. Due to the rebellion's almost plague like way of spreading, the Garmaria Daily has dubbed it "the Aequalitas Pox, the disease which will destroy us all."
