Update 3: New Empires, Old Problems
Years: 200-300
Here I am again, Update 3 or 4 if you count the update 0. Some of the same somethings are new. Whatever just read it.
--------
Lets begin with
Sayitia this time. After period of stunt in its growth, the women of the jungle once again are on the move capturing men slaves from other villages in the areas and using them to procreate. Training more of their elite Aellas to do this dirty work. Once they pushed to the south and north they found another village named Pardu to the north of Niaz. They clear lands in the southern portions of the jungles along the rivers to create new farmlands, increasing Rural income. But as they reach the Rivers and try to cross them. They find themselves facing more organized barbarians then ever before. Multiple tribes join together to found tribal states. They are enough to get the women of Sayitia held back, but for how long?

Now we see the
Konarai Tribe once again, whom have made themselves a nice expansive Empire as most would call it. Building a new mining/quarrying village in the mountains, which proves highly successful as gold and silver are found just under the surface along with some other forms of metal that no one sees useful at this time. They continue there pushing east and west raiding villages, stealing women and killing all who oppose them. This to is highly successful as they have such skilled raiders, but they still see casualties. The tribes on their borders were weaker but now that they are in the open plains they find roaming warlords and their tribes that follow them. They are tough fighters with larger numbers then the Konarai but they still use primitive tactics and are no match. On the eastern front against the barbarians they have finally met borders with Ricin, or close enough to have the peoples meet on the frontiers. Whats the next move? Will the first great war of the region begin over border disputes? Most likely, not *see below*.

Speaking of
Ricin but more importantly
Hoggonogr, we have a war. Hoggonogrians wanted the Ricinians to invade them as they thought would happen. But the Ricin had no thoughts of invading them, they had their armies in the south expanding to the sea. With this seen the Hoggonogrians quickly declare war and move in. Pushing their huge army towards the capital of Ricin. As they find no resistance they keep pushing until they capture the actual capital of Ricin. Once their though their early successes are stopped. The Army of Ricin is warned of the invasion and quickly turns back to face them. And the battle begins. The Hoggonogrians have a superior army with Archers and Spearmen outnumbering the Ricin. They use tactics the Ricin cannot beat. Archers fire from protection of the spearmen. Very little casualties are given to the Hoggonogrians. But the Ricin are decimated. They lose most of their armed forces and the rest disintegrate back into the populace, retreating/disserting. Briefly after this defeat Ricin collapses into several barbarian/tribal states. And with the Hoggonogrians armies holding there capital and killing the Emperor there is no hope for this once proud state.

In the collapse of Ricin one tribe in the south conquers others right after the last remnants of the Ricin army is destroyed. They are the
Forcharda, led by the Son of Fire the one who has killed sixteen other chieftains whom took control in his area. Naikor the Furious. They take the coastal areas west of the great river. They are fighting to control the areas and form a great empire. Time will only tell if it is possible for the Son of Fire to bring greatness to his lands. Oh and by the way, their capital is a giant fortress, isnt that cool?
(- 300 Spearmen)
Not Upstream we find the
Doridan Confederation. Nothing to new except they are the first to really implement horses into their armies. As they expand they suffer a few casualties to the local tribes.
(-300 Horsemen,-200 Spearmen)
Moving East briefly we find the
Sonn people. The Sonn people have lived in this rich river lands ever since anyone can remember. For years they lived in several tribes when in the last twenty years the village of Gingon begun to grow larger and soon assimilated most of the other Sonn tribes. Now the ones chief of Gingon is king of all Sonn and his family rule the country with an iron fist.
Now to the juicy bits. The Holy War involving
Silat, Tensiri, and Cradilon. Lets begin first with Cradilons fight to regain their holy land. The lands they recaptured recently every Silatian man or women is being murdered for their occupation of Holy Land as the Cradilons say. After the initial executions a couple thousand loyal followers of Taigonism, volunteer to reclaim the lands and defeat the Silatians. An attempt to get barbarians to siege Pencak is a failure as the barbarians have no clue what to do and are satisfied with their current gains. But this doesnt matter as with the Volunteers they have the forces to now take the city. On a winter morning as snow was falling on the river the troops of Cradilon came to the edge of the city. And to their surprise the Silatians were no where to be seen. They find a open gate on the cities walls and then open the main gates allowing the armies in. And what they find on the inside are weak starved men and women and children. The men who were Martial fighters and had locked everyone In the city hadnt thought they would be waiting this long. After the first few months food ran out no more grain to make bread, the wells were running dry. The army of Silat had starved itself, and what shocked them more was that some turned to cannibalism. Some men were sucking on bones from children of all things. Being the good folks that they are, the Cradilon soldiers gave water to the women and children and slaughtered the men. The battle for Pencak was over and it was never fought. But another problem came up, the barbarians saw this from the hill sides and charged down to take the city. They were quickly fought off but caused some casualties to the Cradilon forces. After the fighting back of the first barbarians waves, a messenger was sent to tell the One and the people came out of the mountain sides and re took their homelands. A uneasy return in fear of enemies. But with Tensiri help*see below* they are back.
(- Silat as Nation,-700 Militia, 400 Archers, + Confidence,+ Rural Economy,+ Urban Economy)
Now to the Tensiri bit of the war. It was more of a barbarian war than anything. After they learnt of the Silatian fall in Pencak they turned on the Barbarians. Converting or Killing them. Most converted that were in the valley but the ones in the foothills of the mountains fought back. Tons of men were killed in the initial fighting. Templars went out to meet the barbarians only to be outnumber ten fold. In every battle in the early months it seemed the barbarians had the upper hand. But eventually their steam ran out and the Tensiri army pushed at them cutting them off from their villages. And with the help of the converters they eventually pushed them back into the mountains and killed many barbarians. After they fight them off they take many of the captured men and women to the Temple in the mountains. This alone converts them as it is magnificent for this time period. The long stairways seems to them like a stairway into the heavens. The second Prophet has come after the barbarian wars as well. His name is Dyzrayez and he takes rule over the Tensiri religion for now.
