First Citizen of Rome
Celtic Campaign, Somewhere in Celtia.
The brave Romans clad in red marching along what seems to be a path, "They cannot build simple dirt roads? Makes me feel as if I am doing them a favor by conquering them." Scipio said. General Scipio watches his army march, "They must reach the capital by nightfall." He told his commanders before they started their march. Scipio gallops off to the head of the column.
Several hours later, a messenger races up and hands Scipio a note from Rome. Scipio reads it and dropped the letter, he halts the column and turns to face them, "Soldiers, I have recieved grave news from Rome. King Romulus, our great king is dead. He has helped expand the Republic and subdued the mighty Carthaginians, kept the Maltanese pirates from raiding Roman cities and forced the Celts to retreat. Rome is now a nation without a leader. I am currently the only person who is able to keep order in Rome and bring leadership. Lets get this war over with and get ourselves home!"
The soldiers cheered and the march resumed.
A few miles from the Capital city of the Celts the column ran into enemy opposition. General Scipio organized his army into battle formation and prepared to attack. The attack started with a Celtic charge, Scipio saw what seems to be thousands of men charging down up the hill and prayed to Mars that his army survive this charge. The lines met, the Romans fell back under the weight of the charge but still the line held, Scipio galloped to the center where the line was in danger of breaking and rallied the men. Scipio later found out that over 2000 axemen were beating down on his 400 spearmen, he was proud of his army, they still held the line. The battle has been going for almost 5 minutes when Scipio decided to send in his cavalry that were hiding in the nearby woods, the horses thundered across the plain and crashed into the rear of the enemy. 10 minutes later the enemy was running for their lives and the Romans managed to secure the nearby village for food and of course, women. Scipio sent to Rome for reinforcements and seige equipments the capital was only a days march away.

"The King is Dead! Long live the King!"
"Did you ever wonder why we say that? The King's dead."
"Presumably this refers to the new King. Or possibly Queen."
"Yeah, but Mutwallis II died without heirs."
"Ooh..."
On the First Hittite Civil War
Following the heroic (yet somewhat poorly-considered) last charge of King Mutwallis the Second, the Hittites realized that the king had no heirs. He was young, barely 30, and had reputedly refused to consumate his relationship with Queen Saparanola until the conquest of Egypt was complete.
For a few months, the nation remained stable. But as Egypt collapsed, the power-hungry claimants to the throne began to focus inward.
In the city of Hattusas, Vedeshes, (a cousin of the late King) Marnalis (Mutwallis' father-in-law), and Attalis (an influential advisor to and administrator of Mutwallis) became the three main contenders. While the three were civil with each other at first, while historians checked the legitimacy of their claims to the throne (relation, experience, and 'he promised me regency' respectively), Vedeshes shortened the process by killing Marnalis. Attalis managed to evade assasination, and fled to the north, where he raised an army. Fighting broke out over Northern Hatti, and neighbours turned their eyes hungrily to the staggering superpower.
Hatti may have collapsed completely had it not been for Tabarnalis, the General who had led the Egyptian campaign and was currently serving as its administrator. Fearing the imminent collapse of order in his nation, he abandoned the campaign into Upper Egypt and brought his great army northwards.
Under a less popular and capable general, the forces would have likely split up and joined the factions they believed to be the most righteous in the war. But the loyalty towards Tabarnalis was great enough to hold them together as a cohesive force.
Upon returning to Anatolia, the Hittite general found Attalis' forces on the verge of defeat by Vedeshes. Tabarnalis smashed through Vedeshes' forces in the Caucasus to make contact with Attalis. The general allied with the former vizier and self-proclamed Regent of Hatti -(That is, of until a suitable heir to the throne could be found, of course) to defeat Vedeshes.
The fight raged for several weeks in central Anatolia, but the professional forces of Tabarnalis and the militia of Attalis eventually outmaneuvered and overpowered the mercenary army of Vedeshes.
In Hattusas, (Vedeshes last holding) the nearly-defeated would-be King committed suicide with poison, but not before giving his army one last order:
Raze the City.
The mostly non-Hittite mercenaries complied, burning the city and smashing what remained. Their contracts fulfilled, they then looted the palace and left.
However, retrospect shows that they should have left sooner. For as the palace was being pillaged by the mercenaries, Attalis and Tabarnalis arrived. Horrified by the destruction, the two leaders of Hatti fought the mercenaries of the late Vedeshes to the death. The battle was quick, but the cost was high. The ancient capital of the Hittites was destroyed.
Following the end of the war, Tabarnalis was crowned King, for services to the country, his ability, and the deaths of most other heirs (mostly at the hands of Vedeshes). The fact that he was Mutwallis' second cousin didn't hurt. He married Queen Saparanola to reaffirm his ties to the royal bloodline, and began the reconstruction of Hattusas. Until the reconstuction's completion, the capital was temporarily moved to Alexandria (Tabarnalis' Center of Operations), which was renamed Mutwallia in the previous king's honour.
Despite this, he remained a general at heart. And in his absence, a new power had risen in Upper Egypt.
A Hittite General-King's life is seldom dull.

War comes to Sparta!
Let the Dorian League tremble for Sparta now marches to war! Rise up sons of Sparta and fight. The Athenians think they are better than us with their democracy, we shall show them that their puny democracy is no match for Sparta! Only the tough survive and no one is tougher, braver or fiercer in battle than Spartan men.
- The council watched from the city as the men of Sparta marched through her gates and out onto the road of war. The vote was unanimous; Sparta would march to war against the Dorian League. Intelligence was gathered, supplies where stored and made ready for the march, the men where ready as ever, Macedonia was notified and the plans where drawn up. Everything was in its proper place. It was a bright and sunny day the men of Sparta started along the long road to Athens. Along this road many would die, spear would be tested against shield, shield against spear and horse, blood and sweat would be the determining factor in this clash, but in the end it would be Glory for the victor, Glory for those that died a good death against Spartan enemies, Glory for Sparta! This is what the men of Sparta train for their entire lives, and this was their time.
