Greater Sinhala
General Farapu Jamao become emperor upon his father's death. An end to the economic regimes in Sinhala has given birth to one of the most militaristic men ever to take the throne of the Kingdom of Sinhala. And his attitude would not go to waste.
Sinhala now commanded the largest army by far of the known world. Eight hundred men served under the Sinhalese thrown, and over twenty triremes that explored the depths of the world. It was time, thought Farapu, that Sinhala put it to use.
A long time trader, the Dravidians, had grown weak over time as Sinhala prospered. Their army puny to the Sinhalese, and their navy was not even half of what Sinhala had. Their land desolate, old farms that were no longer in use plagued the land as imported Sinhalese food fed most of the nation. In the war room, Farapu readied himself for what will become the most famouse speech ever to take place in Ceylon (the new name for the island that Sinhala originated from) in the capital. The light from the roof shone directly upon his face as he cleared his throat. The room fell silent.
"Friends, we are gathered to discuss the future of the Sinhalese Empire. Our troops have become dormant, laying waste to small rebellions that are of no importance to our nation anymore. Our navy remain sailing the same seas, having nothing better to do. And our economy suffocates. Suffocates from lack of exhileration, from lack of use. It is time, friends, that we expand Sinhala to it's greatest reach."
"How do we do this? The Dravidians to the east have always pestered the Sinhalese way of life. Border clashes between the peasants of Dravidians and our noble people have been occuring since the dawn of Sinhalese contact. Why must we let such a lesser nation dictate the role of Sinhala? They sit in Dravidia and feast off of Sinhalese food, off of our pitchforks. It is time that they make up for all they have done for us."
"And that is why I have ordered our army, the largest in the world, to lay waste to the Dravidians. Their land that should be ours will be ours. It will be the greatest victory of all time. As you may know, the scientifically elite Aryans in the north have overthrown the enadept Indus kingdom, to replace it with a more sophisticated people. These people have a substance called iron that is more then just a substance. It is from the Gods. It can slice through five Sinhalese blades, and not incure a scratch. These, my people, are the ones we should be friends with and share a common border. Not the useless Dravidians."
"Sinhala is great. Sinhala will endure. Sinhala our mother." And with that Farapu exited the stage and walked out of the tent, leaving an audiance cheering and chanting his name. It is all set, the army would march forth.
---------------------
Along the rugged hills of the southern province, the Sinhalese forces were mustered and already trained in the terrain from the previous orders. The camp was full of men suiting up for what will become the first strike of the first Sinhalese war with another true nation. And yet the men were not afraid. They were confident, and willing to die for their country. They were happy to fight alongside their emperor, who was also suiting up with them. He would lead this army into battle, and to capture Mangalore, the Dravidian capital.
Finally the wagons were put together, the food and weapons secured, and the slaves picked up the two logs that mounted the wagon on them, and began to pull it on it's two wheels, following the army. A steady drum beat kept the marching in line, echoing off the steep cliffs that surrounded the huge army. They soon crossed the border, and began to capture and plummet Dravidian villages, the first attacks by the Sinhalese. Gathering what supplies they could, including a few Dravidians as slaves to carry the huge load of supplies, the army continued on to the Mangalore capital.
