Oh, and one more thing--can we get stats for Taruq? Kind of important...

Gracious Lord of Corenwal we greet you. The island and the narrows we claim for ourselves. But for your daring we will grant you passage for trade and settlements. Choose east or west of the narrows we name Mur'ban and settle where you will. In time we will go the other way.
How about 2,000 infantry?The Farow said:
I made it quite a bit larger then that.
10,000 Infantry, 10,000 cavalry. These guys will be powerful but if the valley unites again they will be no problem to defeat however if someone allies with them it may be a different story. A united army will be easy to defeat them as they have to defend a large empire with those forces spread out. They still have those tribes on their border to deal with as well.

To: Taine the Wise
From Ariana of T'lur Pa
Greetings! We applaud your skill and wisdom and would ratify the peace you have created. Let us put our weapons aside and take the cart and scales of merchants and mendicants. What say ye, Taine?
OOC: no increase in my population this update?

Stories and Tales of Waterside
Ariana and Tipu relax in a bright garden along one of the many canals that carry the sacred waters of the Animas to some distant corner of the palace grounds. A peacock-feather umbrella shades them from the summer heat as they dine on fruit and fish and sip imported wine. A servant motions an urgency asking for permission to attend the lords. Arians nods approval and touches Tipu’s arm. He stops and looks up as the group emerges from the dark interior. Map makers and rough garbed sailors approach with hesitancy.
Ariana: Welcome friends! Join us. Maka, bring them food and wine.
Atla chief mapmaker, speaks: My lords, we have the world anew. As you know we have been cloistered with our sailors newly returned from beyond the Great Sea and we would share this new map of the known world with you before all others.
His aide held a large roll of heavy paper; another stepped forward and the two aides held the new, unrolled map so Tipu and Ariana could easily see it all.
Atla: See here and here an here? Pointing as he talked.
Tipu: Behold my love look there! The secrets to the north are unlocked.
Ariana: Such an unveiling is beyond our hopes and dreams for such an exploration. The dark cloud of the unknown is swept away and the world revealed. And you say Atla, that we have settlements? Point them out please.
And for an hour the group went on about what was where and who lived there and what was next until Ariana called a halt for other matters of state.
Ariana: You have all done well my lords and we will continue tomorrow in the afternoon. But keep this map safe from prying eyes and sticky fingers and make no more copies for a time. We will not be hasty in our actions.

The New Emperor of Kaldurraha’Keeista, Emperor Juranijis I (Two Blood)
Born from the eldest princess of B’Deiru of Maasla Keeista and the eldest prince of Gustinianos of Kaldur, Juranijis bring together some very obvious physical traits from his Kee and Kaldurian background. His skin, while still being dark, is a few shades lighter than his Kee half. The hair has remained a fully Kee black color, though his eyes are the bright blue of the Kaldurian royal family.
As per royal Kee tradition, he ties his hair in four long braids, that fall to his elbows if left long, adding strands of golden and black cloths for decoration. The Kaldurian tradition requires that the ruler were a majestic shirt with a collar of elaborately jeweled gold. He also inherited his generous height from the Kaldur blood, standing at 6’5”, towering over all his subjects.
The peoples of the east and west seemed to accept Juranijis as their leader, but he intended them to be more of accepting. He wanted to be truly loved and admired. There would be no Kee and Kaldurian. There would be one people someday, and he was the beginning.
His first move was to create a new capital, for all of the people. The most amazing city the world had ever seen… Mehebniij-Aharu, the City of Mighty Unification. Everything wonderful from Kaldur and Maasla Keeista’s culture would be implemented into this city, with some other ideas from neighboring kingdoms.

OOC: Yay, blabbering by Justokre again. Farow, do you think you'll be adding a section on the first page with current diplomatic treaties and wars sometime soon? It'd be quite helpful. Also, the top of this post should inform you of my country and leader names.

Let us have formalized peace via pact of non-agression. Perhaps 3 turns would be suitable?

CAVALRY? How can they have cavalry if they're in the mountains?The Farow said:

And how are they getting them through the mountains? Barbarian tribes don't seem like the type to build any roads, let alone the feats of engineering needed to get through mountains...The Farow said:
I'm fine with them having horses, just not in the mountains. And it seems strange that a horse-based barbarian culture in the plains would decide to go north through the mountains, rather than attacking the (most likely) easy pickings south of them on the plains. I'd think they'd be more likely to view the mountains as the edge of the world than as a highway...

Not to mention that cavalry were used in the mountains well enough.

Really? Can you give an example? If so, I'll back down on that statement...North King said:
jalapeno_dude there is desert to their east so they went north. The mountains are not all high impassable peaks. Their are narrows and passes they can cross through.
If this is unrealistic which who knows in this world then I will just give them infantry and change their stats.

Okay.The Farow said:
I hadn't read their description before posting. It explains a lot. I withdraw my complaints.
So this post isn't totally useless, two questions. Do I have contact with Taruq? Also, their religion is "Other". I assume this is different than Animism, so what is their relgion like?
jalapeno dude you have contact but they are unlikely to listen to any proposition of peace unless they gain something from it.
Their religion is just a mix of animism and other polythesitic religions. They are really a collection of tribes that united. Many of them worship different faiths but the current ruler worships animism.
Also, any of you lurkers they are open to play

Spanish vs. Inka.
Some horses used in mountain warfare is not 10,000 horsemen. Mostly it depends upon the nature of the "mountains". Horsemen in wooded mountins like in the eastern US would be useless.
