i hope i can start posting stories now anyway here it is
Serdan had finally done it, through so much strife and blood shed he had pushed the cannibalistic Caribs out of the Arawaks peaceful home lands. Their violent ways could not be tolerated anymore, their constant raids and slaughtering of Arawak people was unacceptable.
Such dark things had come from that war, the founding of the Druids-Rakhosh, a dark sect of the Arawaks religious order, specifically warriors who had been granted near invisibility and immortality by the gods themselves.
Peace was over the lands, the people were happy and a new age was sure to ensue. Serdan, the ruler of the Caribbean Empire, had begun clearing away forest to make way for greater buildings, and also for the lumber that would be needed to create them.
Ship yard construction was progress and many improvements were being made to hopefully increase trade with the people of Great Lands (Americas). Along the Mountains of Heart in the south military stations were being to be built with the lumber from the forests. The Arawaks were a peaceful people but they did not want to be vulnerable as before to attacks.
There was talk of expansion towards the south but Serdan did not know if that was wise to move so quickly, he and many of his people were very against using force to gain anything but he knew that to survive they must expand their influence.
During the wars with the hated Caribs, the Arawaks were forced to greatly increase their military forces and as the need arose the priests of the forest gods and moon gods began to create their own sect together. They were know as the Druids-Rakhosh or the demon druids. They were adept in stealth warfare and even though their numbers were few their traps and assortment of poisoned weapons proved deadly to the Caribs who used large numbers and brute force to conquer people. Their knowledge of the jungles and woods was what made them so dangerous, coupled with their faith and medicine making skills they could survive in isolating battle situations for long periods of time. Among the general population, though they were shunned because of their dark and vicious ways. They were secluded and in a way a nation on its own even though they would come to Serdans call whenever he summoned them.
ooc: the Druids-Rakhosh can only reach a maximum of 200 troop size and only 50 on any island smaller than Jamaica, huge combat bonus at night and in jungles and forests bonus against a larger force, they will never go into battle in the open and can supply themselves for longer than regular troops (I can cut the maximum troop size down to 100 if everything else is unfair)
ooc thank iggy glad to be joining in

General Sarajaz stood proudly in the newly built command structures of the captured island of Okinawa. Balazis were calming and converting the population, and more troops from the south arrived every day.
The cooperation between the allied nations against Nihon's island city had been nothing short of spectacular. The land was taken with only 300 Malaysian casualties, and even fewer among the other allies.
But not all was well. The people of Okinawa were revolting , and very few were calming under the wise words of the Balazis. Fortunately, the General had a plan. He called together the military leaders of the other allied countries to present it.
"I have formulated a plan that should both quell these people, and seed dissension in the home islands of Nihon itself!"
"Go on."
"We will grant Okinawa its independence."
"What!?!"
"Let me finish. We will keep garrisons on this island, but Okinawa will be able to act of it's own accord, as long as it has a permanent NAP with all of our nations and doesn't revert to Nihon's control."
"And what's the point of that madness?" asked one general angrily.
"Okinawa is an excellent location for trade. We will trade through the area so it will quickly prosper again, and the people will cease rebelling. The people of Nihon will look at us and see how well we treat the people who accept our control peacefully. It might, however unlikely, cause some dissension in Nihon. And if not, we will have quelled these people. So what do you think? Should we do this, or otherwise?"
OOC: So, whaddaya think Kamilian? This good, or do you have other ideas?

I had the most stories? Wow! And I've been back at school for three weeks now.

Do unto thy neighbors as you would have them do unto you. These are the words that filled Yakov Ben Yoshua of Tel-Aviv's mind. Rome was becoming more and more Jewish, and yet it commits such horrible crimes agianst the Austrians? The people of Rome needed the Law much more than almost anyone, this was why he was about to board the ship. Before them stood a fleet of ships made of Lebanese cedar and bearing lateen sails. It was one of the many trade fleets that went into port in Tel-Aviv. The captain of the fleet had agreed to take the Kohanes with him when he returned to Byzantium, and from there the Kohanes could make their way to Rome by following the ancient trade routes or marching up the Adriatic to Dubruvnik and then on to Rome. As Yakov stared at the ship, he began to feel a sense fo pride, knowing that his people had once been slaves and now ruled a maritime empire. But now, off to Rome, where the Law would be taught and many men circumcised.
********
To Rome
From Israel
The king and Knesseet are displeased with your ability to control your gnerals. We ask that you compensate Austria in some way for their losses. On another, lighter note, we request that a trade route be built connecting Tel-Aviv with Rome via Dubrovnik. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Roma!
To Austria
From Israel
The Wise King, whose fair justice is known form the Maldives to the Faroes, wishes to let you know that you have a friend in Israel.

Remember that you will always have a friend in Israel, and all Jews wherever they may be. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Austria!
To Songhai
From Israel
King Solomon has agreed to your proposition, on two conditions. The first is that the Kohanes be allowed to travers in your lands, for mutual understanding is the best way to peace. Second, in exchange for 16 galleys and 16 tiremes (32 ships total), we request the lands of Senegal, Gambia, and Guinea-Bissau (I used the modern countries). L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Songhai!
To Ghana
From Israel
The Wise King has agreed to your offer, on one condition, that the Kohanes be allowed to traverse your lands so that our people may understand one another and grow closer. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Ghana!
To Fez, Benghazi, Nubia, and Ethiopia
The king and Knesset request that the Kohanes be allowed through your lands, so that our people may grow to know each other and our relations grow better. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel!
To Portugal
From Israel
We will end this war if you agree to allow us to keep our current gains as well as all land south, and all land east, of the Rio Guadalquiver (the river Cordoba is on). L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel!

We believe Israel's attacks upon you are unjust and unprovoked. In addition the fact that they ignore our diplomats is rather irritating. Should you request it, we will aid you in this endeavour with all the resources we can muster. Israel has no claim to the lands of Europe or the the western mediteranean.
To Europe
Are we the only one's that have seen Israel take advantage of a weaker Portugal? They are not even of European decent yet they are snatching up islands of the Mediteranean and trying to steal the lands of Europe. Are we the only ones that find this intolerable!

OOC: I'm moving to a new city today, going to university.. it is possible that I won't have net connection there at the first (unless they let me use it to NESsing purposes in school library). I'll try to continue nessing if it's possible (I will visit my home on weekends) but if it doesn't work out, I'm already giving you a warning that I might be dropping out of this soon. We'll just have to see how it'll work out.

After much consideration, the Wise King has decided that the trade route between our peoples should be set up at this time (aka this turn). L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Roma!
To Eire
From Israel
Even the wisest of us make mistakes. Our embassy had somehow lost track of your message. We will be blunt in our answer. We seek land in the western mediterranead because we need trading posts there. We have already made an offer of peace to the Portuguese, for though we often need it, we do not favor war in the least. The King and Knesset ask that you hold back your vast navies, the only ones greater than ours, until negotiations conscerning peace have finished betwenn ourselves and Protugal. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Eire!

The Wise King thanks you for standing by our alliance in the Jerusalem Deffence Pact. We hope that it will not be required to be ennacted, but should such an occasion come up, we know that we can count on you. L'Chaim! L'Shalom! L'Yisroel! L'Byzantium!
OOC- All of this alliance stuff is starting to sound just a little like the begining of World War I dosen't it?

Perhaps if you would agree to negotiable terms that do not include the ceding of rightful Portugese territory, than peace would be achieved and our forces would be left out. But if this conflict does continue, our navies will be present as well as our armies.

It would seem that his majesty needs to remind you of what it is that we are asking. What we are asking of you is that you hold back until negotiations have been worked out.
