Well you havn't sent any scouts out yourself, but Odenes and Gupta are close enough to have been noticed. If you included scouting within your next set of orders you will contact considerably more

To: General Quisotic
From: Gojoseon

Good call, General Quisotic, or should I say, General Obvious? I see now, finally, that you indeed, and surely, have surrounded Sinsi. I am shocked to hear of such news from youself. The rest of Gojoseon army will get back soon, not to mention that we can accumulate enough force to rid of your little army of FIVE bands "surrounding" the city (what, are they evenly spaced out with their width a single man?) in no time. And good luck with destroying my city with bronze swords and wooden clubs. You can't hit buildings with hammer, unless your parents are dead.

And you say you "will peacefully withdaw from [my] lands", if we "accept Ginjay as a nation". But you overlook something. Yes, I called you traitor, and yes, we denounced your actions, but all the while, I ordered my army to confront the "Ginjay Army", meaning that I have accounted for your rebellion, as a nation. I obviously did not think that you would slip around and hit Gojoseon from the back in such a manner in which only a band of thieves would do, not a fully recognized nation would. If your wish is for me to recognize your nationality, I already have, and so be it. But nonetheless, I will still pursue you, General Obvious, as a ruler of enemy nation. Now, by your own logic and demand, remove your army from my land, and brace yourself for Gojoseon invasion.

Sarcastically Cordially,
Dangun


To: Whoever Contacted Gojoseon for Trade
From: Gojoseon

Yes, we accept.

OOC: The reason why your address is so vague is because Abaddon says I have trade contact, but I can't seem to find it.

Sorry- i realised ive made those trades up.. your quite on the outskirts arn't you!

Some how i doubt you will be getting a reply from General Ignorance

I did what he wanted. So don't blame me. I was the good fairy who grants wishes to rebels at night while they sleep with their color under their pillows.

And to think that he isn't someone to underestimate. Ah, the condradictions.

To: Haijian
From: Gojoseon

Will you help us against Ginjay? We will, of course, make it your worthwhile.

The Ainu people are a poor tribe who have lived for centuries quietly on the islands of their archipeligo content in their lives of fishing hunting. But recently a young Cheiftain full of pride and ambition has begun to unite these quiet people. He has heard of the wonders of the world and is impatient with the smallness of his people and their mind set. He is not content to be just the ruler of one small people on a large Island. Shakusan will unite his people and create a Kingdom like the fabled lands to the west. So he has made his offerings to Grandmother Earth and has begun to assemble his war parties. He will try peace first but he knows the nature of his people and he knows it will take a great fire in his heart to unite them and make a true nation from them. So begins a new era in the land of the Rising Sun.

You did, it was a clever bit of diplo, i wonder how your war plans will go this time around?

Welcome Ainu/Demetrias! May your nation prosper

To: Shakusan of Ainu
From: Dangun of Gojoseon

What say you to a trade between our nations?

OOC: I though we had to have contact or something and to be frank I know my people don't know yours exist as they just came into existence though theortically they have been around for thousands of years and therefor most know about the people in china and korea. So heres the official reply unless Abby says otherwise.

To Dangun of Gojoseon
From Shakusan of Ainu

My people would love to open trade with the any of the great civilizations of the West may our two people grow in prosperity and fame.

Deme is correct, really you shouldn't have contact, but i'll be leniant since im only delaying the obvious by a turn if i deny you this. Unless you both manage to make more trading (Deme definitly can't) partners, its not going to yet make a economic difference

Shakusan had called together a meeting of the tribes in the Saori region to discuss his plans for the people. His was the largest tribe in the region but he knew that with out allies his plans for a great kingdom would be still born so he called together the five tribes of the Saori region to the city of Jomon a small town between the two main cities of Obihiro and Kushiro. Here was the ancient meeting place of the tribes to settle disputes and try major criminals so here he would try to convince the other leaders to support him in his bid for power and the unity of his people.

In a large reed hut located at the center of the village the five most powerful men in Saori sat around a roaring fire and discussed the future of their people. Shakusan had known from the beginning that it would be hard to sell the others on his idea but he had hope in the form of two new cheiftans Menashi and Kunashir. These two men where just as young and ambitious as he was and he though he could sway them to his side with the tales of the glorious west and all that unity and civilization would bring them.

Yet his hope was both well founded and dashed in a few minutes. For before he could bring up his idea for a unified Ainu kingdom Menashi had risen up and declare the very same ambition. Shakusan could not let such an affront to his person stand, he rose from his seat and declared in a mighty voice that no hand but his own would hold the reins of his people before his corpse was lying on the ground. The other three chieftants said that the matter could only be decided by right of combat.

And so the two combatants both young ambitious men in the prime of their life were striped to their waist and bound together by their left wrist. They would fight to the death each armed only with a single knife. And so the fight began neither contestant seeming to have an advantage over the other each just slashing at any exposed areas both their left arms trailing blood across the room. But with a sudden rush Menashi slammed into the knife of Shakusan. One wrong move and the life blood of a valiant warrior was slowly draining out onto the floor. No one moved then Shiro an elderly old chieftant of the smallest tribe walked up to the young warrior and sad "It is grandmother earths will you will be the King who unites our people.""I can not abide that" shouted a young man from the back of the crowd. "I will never allow the man who murdered my brother to lead our people we will fight to the death to stop this foul murderer and his dark ambition." And out strode the young warrior to gather together his people for war.

"Shakusan despite what Shiro says I don't believe it is Grandmother earths will that our people should unite. We are fine as we are so I shall join young Anuki in his war against you." and so saying Hediki the second oldest cheiftant left the village.

"Shakusan I too have ambition to rule but like you I know that no man can unite our people alone, so I will join my tribe with yours if you agree to a marriage pact between my children and yours. For I will settle for a kingdom for my grandchildren over a grave fore myself." declare the fearse and dark Kushiro.

"Yes I thank you my friend for this concession for you are right no man can unite our people without friends. I declare eternal friendship between our two families and a marriage between our kids." And so saying the Shakusan grabbed up the dark man in a bear hug. "Now my fears are laid to rest for another great man has agreed to help me with my dream."

"Don't you mean two great men? Or did you just for get about me because I am an old man? Never let looks deceive you young pup for no man is just what he seems." admonished Shiro."Do not cheer for a victory you don't have we still have to prepare for war with Hediki and Anuki. This will be a hard fought battle come spring."

And so a triumverate of leaders had appeared to lead the Ainu people into a new era of prosperity. An old wolf to lend them wisdom and learning, a young fox to give them cunning and a great Bear to be the people's strength in battle. The spring would bring war between the tribes of the Saori region but even that did not daunt the spirits of Shakusan the Bear. His prowess in battle knew no equal and he was confident the spring would only bring him victory and glory.

In the Depths of Winter three men set before a fire discussing in harsh low voices the war that was coming with the first breathe of spring as the ice broke across the rivers and the nature woke up from its long slumber. The three men two young and one old were all bundle in their bearskin coats warmed against the January chill and winters icy breathe. Shakusan was brash in his strategies with no cunning or subterfuge while that was all that was all that Kunashir's plans had subterfuge with out any permenant solution or strong enough force. But luckily for the two young men they had gaining the wisdom of the wolf in Shiro. His tribe had never been the biggest but he had learned the ways of war the best and so had kept his tribe strong and prosperous through many a war or hard time. He knew that for the good of the people as a whole they needed to eliminate the other two cheiftants in one decisive battle so that the people would know they had grandmother earths blessing and would cut off the rebellion at its heart, the two leaders. New men could be found to lead the other tribes into a peaceful union with the three loyal tribes of Saori if these two men did not stand in their way. So it was decide in the spring the combined warriors of the three tribes would march to take the City of Kushiro where the other two tribes had gathered together. The warriors all great hunters in their own rights would live off the land hunting the Dear, Bear, Wolf and Badger as they had in times of peace. Shakusan would lead the warriors of his and Shiro's tribe and march directly into battle with the warriors of the other two tribes while warriors from Kushiro's tribe would mix in with the warriors of the other tribes and try to kill the two leaders in the heat of battle. Also the best archers in all three tribes would aim mercelessly for the enemy leaders.

Demetrias added to the Story Board

King Jianson II inhaled a deep breath of air as he looked outside his palace, the city looked marvelous and full. He turned towards his aide who had his robe ready, the king spoke, "Glorious day, don't you agree?"
"Oh yes sir, very good day, sir."
The king walked out of his room followed by his aide, as the two walked down the hall they could see the fine decerations the artists did on the walls, warships and trading fleets littered walls truly representing the Ubuntoian culture exact. The king smiled, his money was well spent. He turned and entered a room full of men, all stood, the king motioned for them to sit. All sat.

The King looked around, Admiral Narbo is here, General Milo, Merchant Guild leader Hostu and the last person to arrive was Domestic Advisor Juntao. The king smiled everyone was here it was time to begin. He stood and cleared his throat the room fell quiet.
"Gentlemen, I have called you here today to discuss the future of our glorious nation!"
"We must control the seas, that is our power!"
"No! We must dominate the land, without a well funded ground force how can the navy protect Untabo? We must grow the army! More men are needed!"
"No! War is never the answer, we need to invest on better infrastructure. The better it is the more we will gain with faster transportation for our merchants. We must contact new nations out there to trade with."
"All of the above are well, but they cannot succeed without a well cared population. Help the people and they in turn will help you when you need them."
The king nodded, he liked this, a debate between advisor is good, it usually brings out the pros and cons of each path.

After several hours of debate the King stood up and shouted, "Silence! I shall now retire to my room and dwell on our debate, you will have my answer tomorrow." The men stood and saluted. The king walked out of the room and was immediatly flanked by his aide, "How did it go sir?"
"It went just as I thought it would. I have a pretty good idea of which path I want to follow but I wish to sleep on it. I will see you tomorrow."
The aide nodded and scurried off.

Ahh, another long day of writing stories is done, time for bed.

Maybe I will do another story tomorrow with my decision, or should I keep this a secret..... I know I will sleep on it.

I only hope my NES continues to prosper and you both past the 1000 post mark within it

Would you agree to an open trade agreement between our nations?


OOC: I do believe Gupta, Panchala, Bactriana, Odenes, and Rengnoir all agreed to trade with me, but it seems they forgot to put it in their orders. Just a reminder to make sure I can get those extra economy points...
