A War-Host Goind Beyond
The War-Cleric, clearly identified by his Silver Owl brooch and green ceremonial surcoat stood before a division of Phalanx. They were standing perfectly still in ordered ranks, their spears reaching over their helmed heads to form a forest of metal-tipped staffs. They had been, and still were, the pride of all Shalamari. Without any navy to speak of, the Army had enjoyed the entire glorification of the military that such mighty nations as theirs exercised. Now they did not only bear the glory of Shalamari; they were burdened by the entire people's hopes as well.
"You stand here, upon the last bastion. This is the final line, the Wall against our enemies. This is where you, as representatives of the entire nation and religion, will either triumph or die."
The War-Cleric did not pause for dramatic effect, or to let what he said sink in. It was the truth, and every soldier knew it. He breathed it, it was his mission, it was part of him. Part of being soldier, and part of being Crystalist. The pause was injected so everyone could say the benediction prayer, for themselves and their comrades. They did so solemnly, the entire division producing not much more than indistinct murmurs. The War-Cleric continued.
"You know who awaits you in the Netherworld. You know that you will be rewarded either way. You, who will die here, are the blessed ones!"
The cry resounded over the entire camp. The War-Cleric bore a slightly pained expression, his speech becoming more and more passionate.
"You have nothing to fear any longer! Your death will only be an exit of this world, to eternal paradise! But do not forget what you are fighting for!
"You fight not for glory or salvation! You fight for the people behind you, who have no means to defend themselves! As much as you have nothing to lose, your death will allow countless of your brethren to be tortured and torn away from their promised release!
"What right is given to you to desert these your people, fellow faithful, kin and family, to be driven from this land, or be terrorized under our vile foes? What, I ask, can justify such selfish acts? You are ready to battle, but do not battle for false causes! That is the way of the enemy, and it makes us no better than honorless, malevolent heathens!
"Therefore, swear upon this ground, this place that will either be your monument of triumph or grave! Swear that you fight not for your own sake, but for that of those who have laid their hopes on you! Swear, in the name of The Red Lady that you will not leave this place until the enemy is battled and vanquished! If you fail, Shalamari falls! Succeed, and you will be remembered for centuries as the bravest of men!
The War-Cleric was panting between his shouted lines now, and even his audience showed that they were deeply moved.
"Swear, in the name of The Red Lady! You will make your stand, and die if need be! Shalamari rests on your shoulders, in your hands! Prove, then, all that you are willing to do to save your coutry, your people, your Church!
"War-Host of Shalamari!!!"
All the commotion that had been brewing among the excited soldiers abruptly faded. For a few seconds, every face turned to masks of fearless determination, of purpose, of steeled wills of sacrifice. The War-Cleric threw both arms high up in the air and yelled:
"SWEAR!!!"
"WE SWEAR!!!
"GLORY TO THE RED LADY!"
"TEN'CHAAAAAR!!!"
With that, the division was dismissed. At once they began preparing, for the war that would be their glorious funeral.

What did you do andis that you're going to write a story about? 
For the record in my opinion cultures never go away, just watered down in my opinion. Look at all those cultures the Chinese managed to assimilate with some of the assimilated culture influencing the Chinese.

Davar never hated the CRA contempt, only Veritas did, and that is because we destroyed them. We made peace with the Davar. Simple. And the Nkondi have their form of Crystalism, which is the strongest religion currently. and if you READ the update, you will see that the Nkondi did join the Shalamari when they attacked into the Lengel.
And the Lengel are not gods to the Nkondi, you are gods to the barbarians that the Maugot had

I never thought Davar hated CRA either, I assumed they fought because Veritas was their ally and they had a kinda friendship

Davar does hate the CRA, for it was the CRA that destroyed their brothers and allies the Veritas, and were Davar's enemies during the great war. Resentment and hate have built up since then, driven by the stories of their fathers. And, peace does not exactly mean that there is a lack of hate. They may have signed peace to prevent the destruction of their nation, but they will still hate the CRA as an enemy that destroyed their brothers.
Lord Iggy said:
Nkondicrystalism does not exist at all within my lands, yet I hold all of the Nkondi homelands. Why is that? Is it because the Nkondi currently in my lands follow the religions of Tengri or Lengri? And if you READ the update, you would realise that the Nkondi volunteers the Shalamari recieved were the refugees that fled into Shalamari the update before, which means these Nkondi are not the ones currently living in Lengel territory, and are not rebelling so much as trying to 'liberate'.
Lord Iggy said:
Kentharu said:
False. The Tengri religion (currently practiced in the Army, Maugot, and Nkondi) is the combination of Antigontica, Lengri, and parts of Oneism. As such, the Lengelzai is a representation of Koke/One (Lengri's influence), and is thus a living God (Antigontica's influence). Even in the Lengel homelands is the Lengelzai worshipped as a vessal of Koke, even though Antigontica has no influence there.
Trust me, I've been merging the religions for the past several turns, I know what I'm saying.

ask darken, he is the one that told me this
Davar never really got into the war, it was only because oneism thing had spread all over it and he was kind of forced because of religion
and Nkondicrystalism doesn't exist in your lands because, if you haven't noticed, the Shalamari does control some of your land, hence the Nkondicrystalism probably ran there

And your point? The difference in religion, and the conflict betweem the CRA and Oneism would create a certain sort of dislike, and its only a small push that turns that dislike into hate. What imagined slights may have been warped over the centuries since the Great War?

Weep, Mother.
Hold up!
First: Just because of the religious diffrences, woulnd't that mean Khermi would hate its crystalist allies? Along with Emor hating its bladiest allies? Religion can be a factor, but it doesn't make much of a diffrence in these times: you will ally with whoever you believe it is necessary to ally with. In the beginning I only allied with veritasd because I saw the chance to seize much of the east with his help. Sure, it took him three turns to get me bronze, but you see I didn't have to do anything for either the copper or bronze ages. Also my allying with him I secured the fact that I wouldn't have to fight a war on my western border- leaving me to expand rapidly to cover the area that I did.
Ken when did I ever talk to you about this NES? But anyways, you're the cloest so far. Davar didn't hate the CRA, nor did it hold any affection for it. It mainly just ignored them whenever possible. It wasn't until the very end that Davar began to have a strong dislike for the CRA, mainly because everyone was gung-ho to fight the Lengels until they secured a NAP, leaving Davar to face the onslaught by itself.
To answer about Veritas, Davar was merely annoyed how the CRA forced the succesor states to pay them tribute. The entire blame for the fall of Veritas was shifted to Emor, because of the sack of the capital and its actions of bringing bladiests into Veritas. Thus is why Emor was (and should still be) the only nation Davar hated. if anything, Khermi shouldn't be the highly frown upon because they were attempting to "liberate" the nation -from the citizen's viewpoint- from the rule of barbarians. through the citizens probably wouldn't have helped Khermi, just leaving them to fight by theirselves.
Davar is a diffrent belief system that New Veritas. You might get support from the regular oneist crowd for actions against the CRA, but you'd recieve nothing from the Pirian population.
