ASNES- My Return to Our Roots

orders sent by pm
 
The Louisiana king had heard rumors of a great storm heading to the americas. No one is sure where the storm will land but the king took no chances. He ordered everyone to build protection from the storm and to play it safe.

Also in the northern front, the soup eaters are retreating like the pale, stupid, ignorant northerners they are. Louisiana troops are succusful and are marching in their lands at this very moment, killing the men and children and bringing the women back to louisiana for different occupations.

Then we razed their puny villages for their foolish mistake of declaring war on great Louisiana. There is no Doubt that Louisiana is the dominent power of north america
 
Annunaki had finally reached his goal: Mecca. He was not a Muslim, but he had business to do at Mecca. He had to free his people, his daughter, and confront the Sultan once and for all. The Sultan had not fled, so he went to the castle with a large amount of things.

With it, he immediately searched for his daughter. He searched the dungeon and freed all Sumerians and harems there. But no daughter. After many days of searching and ten assassination attempts, all of which failed, Annunaki found a mysterious package. He then had a flashback.

“I had a package for you, but- OH CRAP. I lost it.” This must be the offerings that the messenger was talking about! Quickly, he drove his sword into the package, cutting it open. There, he saw something shocking.

He saw the breasts of a woman. And the same woman’s mutilated genitals. That was scarring enough. You do that to men in Sumerian culture to humiliate them. To do that to women is utter disrespect. He scanned the cut-off breasts and found something very shocking on the left. A birthmark of a star. “Who has a birthmark of a star?” wondered Annunaki.

He went through all who remembered. Sharif? No. Asharru, his wife sold into slavery, but known in territory occupied in Sumeria? No. Any of his Vultures? No. His daughter, Inanna? Yes. Next thought was, “Where was it?”

This was a final blow to Annunaki’s mental state. He remembered that she named her daughter Inanna after he saw the mark. On her left breast. The Arabs had killed Inanna. At only twenty-nine. His only heir to the throne. The only hope unless his wife was alive before he died. That was uncertain, as many Sumerians had been killed. He then went to his main commander of the Vultures, Ningirsu, the Twenty-Year Vulture. He had joined the Vultures at twelve and became a commander at fifteen. At eighteen, he had risen above all to become General of the Army, second-in-command of the armies (commander-in-chief was Annunaki). Now, at twenty years, he had led the capture of Mecca with the emperor himself. Annunaki was forty-seven now, and he had a long way to go.

“My daughter has been killed by the Arab Sultan personally. And raped countless amounts of times. Unheard of atrocities have been committed against the civilization of Sumeria. Everyone and their mother have invaded us. The Levant and Sumerian Anatolia were hard to let go of, but a wise peace indeed. Now, we face the Harappan hordes and conquer the Arabian Empire. I’ll be staying behind. Stay for the night outside of the city. You’ll see some fireworks.”

After this, Ningirsu replied, “Your daughter? The Sign of Victory?”

“Yes. Her. She’s been killed. God knows how many grandchildren Osman knocked her up with.”


After, he went to the emperor’s palace to “do some business.” There, he saw Emperor Osman asleep. He checked the pulse for any heartbeat and found none. He then slipped off Osman’s pants and took his sword out. He then made the cut of Worse Than Death. At this moment, Osman sprung from his bed and screamed, “AAH!!! MY PENIS!!!”

“Looking for this?” Annunaki asked menacingly, holding up the Sultan’s severed genitalia. “Eew, it has herpes.”

“HOW?”

“ARE YOU BLIND? DO YOU THINK THIS IS NORMAL TO HAVE THESE SORES ON YOUR SCHLONG? NO WONDER YOUR CIVILIZATION DIDN’T GO TO THE BRONZE AGE UNTIL YOU GOT OUR WEAPONS, THEY DON’T TEACH SEX ED!”

“They aren’t sores. They’re Blessings from Allah. And it was probably your daughter who had them anyways.”

“Nope. My daughter was a virgin until you got her herpes.”

“She was blessed by Allah a month ago?”

“YOU GAVE HER HERPES!!! YOU GAVE HER HERPES!!! YOU MONSTER!!!”

“What?”

“OSMAN HAS HERPES! OSMAN HAS HERPES!”

“OK. Just be quiet about it, and I’ll surrender to you and Egypt.”

“I don’t feel like mercy. I don’t want mercy. What I came to Mecca for is for a pilgrimage of vengeance. Against you, Sultan Osman.”

“N-n-no. I don’t want to die! I have no heirs! No heirs! Except if I make some babies with the harem.”

“Neither do I. You see, in Sumeria, we have something called wives. If you’re unfaithful, you get castrated. You should get one. Makes it easier to produce heirs. God knows where my wife is, but she’s out there.”

“She’s a slave. You’re lucky you reached Jiddah this turn, or else she would’ve been killed. At my orders.”

“You’re mad. You’re absolutely mad.”

“No. I am an Arab. I can do whatever I want.”

At that moment, Annunaki took his sword, hugged Annunaki to his side, sword on throat, and asked through clenched teeth, “Any last words, ...?”

The once proud Sultan had a tear spill down his face. The first time he ever cried. The young Sultan had a harem of 25 ladies. He had only killed one. Little did he know that killing just one would be the biggest mistakes that Osman would ever make. He tried to make a sound, but as he was, he heard an ominous voice say, “Time’s up.” Annunaki then cut the head off of Osman and his life short with it. He had a meal of blood and flesh. But The Great Vengeance did not stop there.

All Sumerians and Vultures were evacuated from the city and sent to the Sumerian camp outside. Annunaki and Ningirsu would remain, collecting the tar, taking the stone, and sending it back to the Camp. He had a brilliant plan.

Annunaki and Ningirsu returned with all of the tar and other flammable materials that they could find. Many were forced to paint their own city with the tar. At night, the soldiers and freed slaves had seen a mysterious flame. A signal, possibly? They moved to the blaze. Then, they saw an absence of Mecca. What happened? The Vultures had to investigate. The blazing Arabian heat was bad enough, but a fire? Christ, that was even worse! Their suspicions had been correct, confirmed by Ningirsu when the Sumerians met up with him. When they got to the hole kicked in by the palace, the sight had been seen that scared a thousand men had been sighted.

Meanwhile, Annunaki was in the palace, fire blazing around him. The final step in his revenge against Osman was soon to be complete. His city, which he helped nurture and make a city with pride, was now a bonfire. And when the fire died, he said to the sky, “My work here is done. Let us go home.”

He then jumped out of the hole in the wall. The Vultures then prepared to catch him. Completely in delirium of the fire, he then exclaimed, “Now, An! It is time to join you by your side! And your guards are taking me! Now, it is time for me to become a god!”

With an insane king, and two wars, Ningirsu had to go to Jiddah to take the throne and reveal an earth-shaking secret to Annunaki, the man who led the Sumerian armies to Mecca. The armies stayed behind to use the stones of Mecca for the Library of Annunaki and the Military Academy to train the slaves.

----------------------------------------

Following the plunder of Bulgar regions and the discovery of vast strains of valuable stnes in the Swedish lands, General Grigori received widespread approval at home as the 'Grigori style' of serf labor created economic growth and wealth for many Russians. It is estimated that before 500 AE, the average Russian could not rely on the benefits of civilization to get by. In fact, some supposed that 50% of all Russians still lived hunter-gatherer lifestyles, even as Moscow controlled them politically with an iron fist. Grigori, however, reduced that number to a parsel 10%, and the economy boomed overnight.

Similar success could be found on the fronts in Sweden and Bulgaria as the barbarians were crushed indiscriminately by powerful Russian forces. Bolstered by Vodka and superior generals, the Swedes were completely destroyed and the military men who conquered them quickly settled down and created a new society there. The town of Goteborg became a new work center on the Swedish frontier, however the serf system worked quite differently. Adopting Swedish traditions of hard work and tribal mutual-reliance, a communal lifestyle consumed many - Russians and Swedes alike - in Goteborg. Although technically the Swedes were inferior in status to the Russians, in reality the two were very much equal. The Swedes accepted Russian culture with a relish (especially the tantalizing drink vodka) and were assimilated without much problem; likewise, the Russians were drawn to Swedish traditions of good food, which led to the famed lingonberry-enriched vodka. This would became the drink of choice for all Nordics, achieving fame throughout Scandinavia and even becoming known in lands as far away as England.

Bulgaria was largely a different story however. Although Russian armies dealt serious damage to Bulgar barbarians, the assimilation did not work as intended. Bitter descendents of Hittites and Ukrainians, who both had a culture-bred and native distrust of large powers, resisted Russian cultural influence. Despite this, the invading generals were determined to apply Grigorianism to the conquered natives. Large transport lines were established wherein thousands of Bulgars were escorted to Kiev, where they labored away on farms owned by the merciless Kievan oligarchs. Kiev, an infamously inefficient work camp, had the highest death rate of any labor center in Russia. Some have supposed that Moscow was aware of this, however made no moves to improve the situation, sentencing thousands of Bulgars to needless death. If this is true it would be the first example of organized extermination in the history of civilization - a charge many modern Russians deny fiercely, pointing to the Rape of Ur wherein Arabian armies wrought havoc across the Sumerian population.

The end result of this relocation and looting gave Grigori the moral base he needed to begin his audacious project. Grigori had a dream of creating a powerful central authority in Moscow which would rule the large empire completely and efficiently, completely destroying any notions of confederation and effectively creating the most powerful central government in the history of the world. Surely this was the dream of a madman, but he set out to do it anyway. The first step was to build a large palace from whence the despot and his government would rule - he called it 'the Kremlin.'

The basic blueprint for the Kremlin as well as his idea for a new, powerful government was simple: force all authority to be derived from Moscow, and invent a system by which decisions could be made with maximum efficiency. It was an audacious plan and would outlive him, but upon its completion would bring about an extremely efficient plan of imperial expansion abroad, streamline the military, and give a lasting boost to the weak Russian economy. Its legacy would prove to last an age.

Hey, could you just repeat last turn's orders? I'm not sure if I can stay awake long enough to write a fresh set.
 
Thanks for killing my Sultan, I had this cool death scene planned and now I cant use it.... Not cool.
 
You can use your story, sheep. It's not as if our history books have to all look the same. (Who's to say the way his civilization wrote the death of the sultan is real, and yours isn't?)
 
THe Centralization of the Army

After fighting the Aztexans, the Kingdom began running into some problems. The army kept getting bigger to help with the fighting, and the costs kept mounting. Soon almost half the Kingdom's funds would be going just for upkeeping the army, let alone other things.

So the King needed a plan. Previously he dictated who was a General and they said who was a Captain and so forth. But if a system came into place that promoted quality the army would get better and more efficent. This would hopefully free up some more funds.

But it wasn't enough. The King then came up with a series of Keeps and checkpoints to insure supply lines. These lines would help against Aztexan resistance forces and other brigands. It would also speed up the movement of goods, keeping morale up and swords sharp. Soon caravans could roll quickly across the countryside.
 
Con Von Head XXII, has known nothing but war. For centuries, the struggle between the Germans and the Romans raged on. No one truly knows why this war began. Some believe that the German King insulted the Roman emperor's daughter. Others believe that the Roman Emperor called the German king fat. However the fact that most can agree upon is that the Romans are rats and they should be killed like rats.

Con Von Head XXII stood with his army, far from home in Berlin. Camped in the Alps, the cold winters took its toll on his men. They don't know what peace is like, they don't remember what a meal at home and life on the farm is like. The constant fighting has hardened the men. However what bronze cannot kill, nature will.

A young solider came to Con von Head XXII. Sir I am feeling sick. The young man, kneeled over and vomited. I don't know what it is, but my brother is feeling the same way...
 
The Aztexans were in a tough spot, enemies surrounded them who were all obviously quite evil as the Aztexans hadnt done anything to them at all. The Aztecans knew they were likely to be destroyed, but that didnt matter to them. You see the Aztexans had a remarkable belief in something they used to call payback. They thought that everything you did would eventually come back to pay you either poorly or well depending on what you did. So their evil neighbours would all get bitten in the arse one way or the other. But the Aztexans werent ones to leave it to chance or even the mighty sun. No the Aztexans would take matters into their own hands.

So they began systematically poisoning the land they were forced to give up with a white substance they found by the sea that made the soil untennable. They set fire to huge tracts of land as they retreated. Anyone who was mortally ill were sent on suicide strikes against enemy camps in an effort to infect as many people as possible. Even their dead and rotting were used as weapons, dumped in wells to poison the water and in camps to spread pestilence.

The price for Aztexan land would be costly.
 
You can use your story, sheep. It's not as if our history books have to all look the same. (Who's to say the way his civilization wrote the death of the sultan is real, and yours isn't?)

I would but I just dont care anymore after that, its character assaination and is paramount to the cardinal sin in any roleplaying including nesing.
