ITNES I - An Epoch of Change

[Grandmaster]

I am resigning as Caledonia in order to begin building a new nation. Details will follow.

If anything, the Carthaginians are UNDER-represented (by 9 thousands), but that is explained by small units, especially those waging guerrila warfare in North Africa.

Really? After adding all the numbers in their military stat, and then adding all their numbers on the map, I found a difference, in favor of the map, in the amount that I gave you. Given that those large aberations are explained, the apparent 2,000 difference doesn't matter, but I still do not see how you have came up with 11,000 different than I did.

@Das can you tell me more about this Tarunisit religon thing, or Reno since you presumbly made it, is there some type of Church with a Pope-like figure?

Is there some holy Tarunist city or something?

Also were the Solists in Jutland massacered?

How important is religon?

Where are the Nordriken land forces located? I presume we have some in Jutland and some in Sverland but how many? Its not shown on the map.

 

[das]

Hmm... Yes, when I first re-counted it I must've missed some of the colonial troops.

EDIT:

can you tell me more about this Tarunisit religon thing, or Reno since you presumbly made it, is there some type of Church with a Pope-like figure?

Its more like Medieval Sunni Islam, with a Caliph (the Tarunian Emperor), who however is mostly a figurehead.

Is there some holy Tarunist city or something?

Palmenia, the Tarunian capital, sounds like an obvious spot. There is also a monastery/mausoleum near Lake Onega.

Also were the Solists in Jutland massacered?

Now? Yes.

How important is religon?

Fairly important.

Its not shown on the map.

I am getting tired of this. When troops aren't shown on the map it means that they are spread out about-evenly all over the country and its key strategic points; in this particular case this especially means the coastlands and the coastal cities.

 

[erez87]

to New Dawn land:
We shall give you the inlands. But as for the coasts, we cannot give them all. Please choose half.

ooc: oh and about the tech, I hope I CAN give it immidietly

Second Treaty of Oromocto​

By the concluding of this treaty the Kingdom of the Dawn Land and the Kingdom of Nortugal agree to the following exchange of territory and other provisions. It is the prayer of the Wabanaki that the blessings of the Holy Trinity be bestowed on this treaty and its signatures.

Article One

The Kingdom of Nortugal agrees to hand over to the Kingdom of the Dawn Land all territory stretching from the latter's western border to the western banks of the Great River [1] so as to ensure the security and territorial integrity of the Wabanaki people and all who preach the Gospel of Membertou.

Article Two

The Kingdom of Nortugal, as a sign of goodwill, agree to the transfer of that territory which encompasses the blessed isles of Abegweit [2] and Mnitu [3] and that sacred land of Únamakika [4] which lies to the northwest of the sacred waters of Pitu'pok Lake[5], all of which are of the greatest importance to the Holy Trinitarian faith.

Article Three

The Kingdom of Nortugal shall allow, in good grace, for shipwrites of the Kingdom of the Dawn Land to serve as apprentices in their shipyards that they may gain vastly in knowledge of the creation ocean going craft.

Signed, Sealed, and Confirmed Great King Assacumbuit of the Dawn Land,
Progenitor of the Crown of Membertou and Protector of the Holy Trinitarian Faith

Signed, Sealed, and Confirmed King Erezius I of Nortugal​

[1]- St. Lawrence River, transaltion of Mohawk name
[2]- Prince Edward Island, Mi'qmaq name
[3]- Chapel Island, Mi'qmaq name
[4]- Cape Breton Island, Mi'qmaq name
[5]- Bras d'Or Lakes, Mi'qmaq name

 

[Reno]

OOC: Like das already said the Pope-like-figure is my (official) ruler the Tarunian Holy Emperor and the holy city is my capital. And going against me makes you heretics like the Mordvins already are. Not that we couldn't reach some sort of peaceful solution over this.

The Gospel of Membertou: The First Revelation​

Membertou ran through the woods, chasing after a baby woodchuck. The muscles in his legs grew taught and slackened alternatively as rushed along, dodging around branches and stones and jumping over obstacles he could not easily dodge. He was laughing as he ran, his face glowing in the sun as he began to close the gap between himself and the critter, when the woodchuck suddenly halted and turned to face the prophet. Taken aback, Membertou tripped, knocking his head on a root and going unconscious.

Slowly, Membertou opened his eyes to see...nothing. He was surrounding by black on all sides and though he seemed secure he could sense neither ground below him nor any distinction between the surface on which he lay and the dark space around him. Slowly, he began to sit up, noticing that the pain had left his head. Looking about him he still saw nothing, when out of the corner of his eye he noticed a bright light beginning to form.

Turning his head, he stared directly at the bright, white light as it began to grow and take shape. Slowly, he saw small legs and arms forming, and then a head. The shape continued to grow in size, until it was as large as him before the light began to fade. Gradually, Membertou realized that before him was a very large, and very old woodchuck. Looking into its eyes he saw wisdom beyond anything he could comprehend, knowledge of all that has been, all that is, all that may yet come.

And then, as of from nowhere, he realized in whose presence he was. It was Nokemis, Grandmother Woodchuck, the most revered and honored of his people's g-ddesses. She was older than the earth and older than any other deity. It was she who shaped land from the mud at the bottom of the sea, she who turned pebbles into mountains, and she who raised forests from seeds. Her years were so many that they were beyond her wisdom, and her wisdom so great it was beyond her years.

“Son, I am the Earth Mother, sister of the Moon Mother. I am well known already to you and your people, but the truth of my nature has been obscured by generations upon generations who have lost their way. It is your duty to bring the peoples of the Dawn Lands the Good News. You will be receiving future revelations my son, this is only the first of many, for you have been chosen for a great destiny, to be the bearer of truth, the greatest of all prophets.”

And so Membertou remained with the Earth Mother for a great time, for what seemed numerous suns. Grandmother Woodchuck taught him of the creation of the world, and of humanity. She told him of the trials and tribulations that the first people bore; of the wars that beset both man and beast; of the great floods and fires that consumed the world; and of much more. After what seemed to him at least a month, she abruptly stopped speaking and turned to him. In his eyes She saw his confusion, and smiled saying, “The First Revelation is ended, there is nothing more for you to learn. Goodbye.”

She placed her paw on his shoulder, and looked into his eyes. Slowly, her aura of light began to fade and her form to blur. She began to gradually shrink in size, until there was but a speck of light left and then, there was nothing but darkness. Tentatively, Membertou attempted to open his eyes and a flood of bright light entered them. Turning his head, he saw the baby woodchuck he had been chasing in what seemed so long ago. It was the same day and the same wind blew across his face. Slowly, he rose to his feat, then took off at a run back to his village.

OOC: Sorry for the horrid ending, it's really late here and I probably won't have another chance to get this done before the update.

How exactly do you imagine that?

Double post

 

[silver 2039]

Are there any distinct diffrences when it comes to Noradic Taurnisim, and Tarunist Tarunisim? Like theology or something.

To Mordivian Empire
From Greater Nordrike

We should coordinate our actions, kindly send a messanger and contact us (aj_k_2003@hotmail.com), and we should agree to make a joint peace that includes both of us.

The Emperor lay in the hospital tent recovering from his injuries. In strode the Supreme General Gisco Hasdrubal Vect. The Emperor looked over to him weakly, the injuries were more shocking than first though. 'General, what I do today, I do not do lightly. But having said the failure of our defense of the regions in the Transpoineic, I feel compelled to ensure the remainder of the Empire has the best chance to defend itself and survive..'

'Of course Your Imperial Highness', The General answred, 'That is why I know that the duties of the Imperial Government must fall on the Imperial Military. This time tommorrow I will be declared the Regent of the Punic Empire.'

'Yes, with my heir still young, and my life slowly fading away, I must allow this. It is with a heavy heart that I must do this.' The Emperor conceeded. He knew all too well that the Imperial Family would never again be sovereign, but after this night the Imperial Military would be the effective ruler of the Punic Empire.

'You need to sign this' The General said, pulling the Emperor away from his dark thoughts. 'This will ensure the continuity of the Punic Empire and its people. The Emperor will always remain the Emperor, and your son will succeed you.'

Shaking the Emperor picked up the pen and signed what the General refered to as the Carta of Magna. All he know wished for was the hope that one day his descendants would once again rule their Empire.

OOC: Sheep, when you deliberately rip off names of historical documents such as the Magna Carta, you could try and "hide" that fact

das, I sent a PM your way

[alex994]

TO: Dukunnugeya, Aryavarta, Hong Kong, Suzhou, Tieh China, Choson, Nihon
FROM: Khmer Empire
We are interested in establishing official, state-ordained trade relations above and beyond the natural trade currently ongoing. We believe this to be of benefit to all parties. The proposal is simple: equal trading rights for merchantry before the law in the nations of participants, and an endeavor to keep tarrifs and taxes on foreign goods at a sensible level when practicable.

To Khmer Empire
From Tieh China

This is agreeable to His Majesty.

@das, Since Cleric has not been on in a while could have a repsonse for my offer of peace to his nation Cernorusian Empire. It was basically Pre-War borders and one EP to me for being the aggressor.
