Deposed Despot
I'd like to amend my previous orders in this new post in case it gets missed in an edit:
In the Antehauta Empire,the plague had mostly run its course and populations were beginning to recover. With the Lantan Church's decline in power and organization, the concept of "Lantan Unity" became less of a concern for its power-hungry generals. The highly millitarized state began to use its advanced weaponry against its Lantan neighbors to the west, annexing the tiny Marinata kingdoms, and to the east, overrunning the remnants of the Akanto kingdoms. After these short and relatively easy conquests, the overconfident generals turned their sights to the Lantamalacal to the south. Assuming another quick victory, they were unprepared for the resistance they met. They became broiled down in a lengthy war all along the southern front, with heavy casualties (both military and civilian) for both sides. The end result was the destruction of the Lantamacal and another great horror for the region so recenly scarred by the plague, but also a sharp increase in militarism and military technology/tactics in the region.
The Xanauk Kingdom took this opportunity to ally itself with the Antehauta and annex a portion of territory to the west, as well as some to the north. Having themselves been recently freed from an opressive empire, they elect to join the new United Panto Republic and send their forces east to meet the Europeans.
