Just for kicks:
The mead hall was buzzing with excitement. Jesters were juggling, music was playing, and the finest of all the villages pigs had been slaughtered. The air was full of the smell of mead, meat, and unwashed barbarians. Unlike most meetings in the tribes mead hall, everyone was here. Women and Children had packed into the hall to see what was going on. The occasion was joyous; it would change the future of the Tribe for the better.
Everyone who wasnt to drunk was watching the guests of honor. They looked like everyone else in the hall, or at least the warriors. Their aged faces had clearly seen their share of hardships, but something was different about them. As the villagers watched them tear into their meat, watched the tasty juices drip into their long blond beards, they recognized that something. They were wearing new animal skins. These werent skins worn down and nearly falling apart like the skins of the people in the village. No, these were new skins, clearly made out of want and not need. These middle-aged men had recently become very prosperous.
The other feature that distinguished them from the rest of the crowd was the large golden badge on their chest. All of them had a Giant D on it to show that they were in the service of the king of Deutschland. They also had another smaller letter to show their town of residence.
Recently Deutschland had absorbed many smaller Germanic tribes into what was formerly a city state. Seeing that this form of government wasnt going to work Deutschland changed how things were run. They took the chief of Absreich and made him a king, a chief of chiefs. They also made a council for the chiefs of all tribes that join the new Reich. They will advise the king in all matters, and even vote to show what the council thinks (the king is then supposed to either match this, or come to a compromise with the council).
The men at the mead hall were a long way from their homes. All of them but one were from newly joined tribes near the mead hall. They were here to show how prosperous their tribes now were, and how prosperous the tribe in of the hall would be if they were to join. The other man had an A on his chest. He was from Amsreich itself. He was a holy man of Amsreich, and he was here to explain that all the residences of Deutschland had essentially the same religion. He would listen to their stories and tell his tribes stories, and the residences would see that they were basically the same. They had basically the same gods, the same language, they were the same people. The holy man would then give a speech about how all the Germans must join together, their gods wished it to be so. After this the holy man would use some chemical concoction he had put together and perform some magic tricks. It was very effective.
This same scene was going on throughout the land of the Germanic tribes. Soon, it seemed, Deutschland would unite every last Germanic tribe of the North Country. Most every one they came to agreed to join immediately, and those that didnt saw the prosperity of their neighbors and eventually agreed that joining would be the best thing.
The Deutschland tribe was very effective at getting these other tribes to join with them because they did indeed seem blessed by their gods. All the new villages that joined were shown good techniques of farming and found suitable land. They were then given some initial resources to help them out, and roads were built to other neighboring villages. This combination acted as a huge boost to the economy of the tiny villages. The standard of living in each village skyrocketed, and they became full of healthy little children, the future of the empire.
Then, to make things even better, Teutonic trained troops would show up in the villages and begin showing blacksmiths how to make better weapons and training local men to protect their villages. They would march into the village in huge numbers, train people, and then move on. It was all very impressive and made the villages feel well protected. It also showed villagers that the capitol was aware of them, and would keep the roads safe so they could keep in contact.
This whole system was working well, and the empire was growing exponentially. As more villages joined even more villages were exposed to the empire and thus wanted to join. It was a chain reaction that seemed like it would only slow once the empire was out of Germanic tribes to recruit, and this made the King very happy.

Winds blown over the deserts south to Mesopotamia. That was one of several directions Rasit would now take for the creation of a magnifisant empire.
The Levantine deserts were not as empty and dead as many thought. The people of Mittani and Aram lived across this deserts. They were more like barbarians, pillaging and destoryong Phoenician lands in the Levantine coast from time to time but usualy they pecfully lived in their inland cities. They weren't as backward as many thought... While they were still using early weak Bronze they did have chariots and streght in numbers. Still it was obvious Rasit would not need much to take over this lands. They weren't powerfull, only raiders. Rasit occupation would only bring goods and wealth to them. Rasit will conquer them but will also bring wealth and advancment. This conquest will also create a border with Phoenicia which will bring much needed trade and prossperity for the growing Rasitians.
The Levantine deserts were one direction. The Armenian highlands were another. Standing in the further north were the Armenian mountains. The tallest mountains in the whole wide world. To their feet lived many breeds of crazy barbarians and savages. Many stories were told as to what stands behind the tall mountains. Tales and legends of great giants who ride horses that can destory whole cities, or giant dragons who can eat all the people in a town... Tales and stories came from those areas as adventues took place from time to time, ones which brought many riches from unknown places...
The Rasitian entrance to this place was with the deal signed with the tribal confederay of the Armenian people. Ones they ruled this mountains and contolled a vast tribal empire. They lived even behind the mountains ones but now after many other invasion by other barians the Armenian people were conquered by hundreds of other savage tribes. The last parts of the ones proud Armenia stood north to Rasit. This last Armenian free places were all that was between the savages from the north and Rasit and the King knew one of the two will have to do the first move. So he offered the Armenians to join the Rasitian culture. Their leaders will swear alligence to the king of Rasit and the King of Rasit would become the King of Armenia as well. While Armenia wasn't strong thos lands were important. From there a new coast to the sea known to be black could be created and trade could come form it. Taxes from the Armenian people would now go to Rasit. And with the Armenian last lands Rasit could bring their armies and crash the pathetic barbarians who dared threaten the civilized world..
For many years to come Rasit will have it's job... Civilizing the northern mountains and southern deserts and.. somthing else.. You shall all soon see...

The saga of Alger continues.
Alger rose early the next morning. He walked to the coast and look out across the sea. A chill traveled up his spin and emerged as a tear in his eye. Rushing back to him came a memory from 5 years before. Alger was 17 then, he and his close comrades were enjoying a cool mid summer afternoon riding the winds in the south sea. The local fishermen all knew of this land and brought tails back. Being young, daring, and accomplished sailors the crew decided cruises explore the coasts of this place.
Riding a west sea winds at a good clip the English coat fell behind them in a matter of minutes. Alger loved the feeling of the sea. He could feel the power of the waves, the sweet smell of the salt water, and feel the cool wind push them along this mighty blue desert. Anwynd was the first to spot the dark like rising upon the horizon to the southeast. With out saying a word he pointed in the direction of that mass growing as we glided though the waves. For a while they remained silent, their mouths seemed to forget their years of training.
Octa was first to break the silence with the broke phrase “h-hh-hh holl-l-y ****…”
There was another moment of silence.
“Well might as well get a closer look” Alger muttered and began to turn the ship starboard. As Anwynd turned the sail catch the wind.
The land became clearer as they approached. It became clear that they were approaching the mouth of a river. Small fishing boats moved up and down that coast. Fearing contact with an unknown people they didn’t stay long. The boys thought themselves quite the adventurers after that point. They retold the story among them selves for years to come. The whole even is rather uneventful but too these young men it was wonderful.
Alger back brought back to the present with a blast of cold salty air. A smile began to grow on his face until his teeth were visible and a low laugh emanated deep in his lungs. His laughter died off but the smile remained. The night before he had left orders for General Anwynd that read as followed.
“Orders for Anwynd
I have entrusted you with my first act as king. Get together 4 guardsmen and talk to Fisherman Herald, I have talked with him already. You are being sent to the south to make contact with the keeps of the land we had saw so long ago. Herald ensured me that he had been there and there is a city with a king. As my closest comrade and most trusted statesmen I ensure you will get the job done. You are doing me and our people a great favor.
Hail Victory”
Alger turned from the coast and began to walk back to town. To the north was a kingdom in turmoil. Flavias's king was heirless and on his dead bed. King Bældæg Last of his family he had never married or had a son. It was well known but never said loud that Bældæg homosexual. However more importantly to the story he was also a close friend and ally of Alger’s father and the family. Alger had to go immediately, leaving the council in charge of local affairs.

Consul Syriadtus- The first Consl of La Republica di Calabria, he is remembered for securing the Calabrian peninsula, Calabrian Sicily, Calabrian Sardinia, and Corsica. He established La Senato di Calabria. He was also the patriarch of the Bellamare, meaning 'Beautiful Sea', family.
Consul Lystus Bellamare- The next great consul was Lystus Bellamare, the grandephew of Syriadtus. Known as 'Lystus the Conqueror', he drove the barbarians out of Basilicata and northern Puglia. He expanded the military and created the military tactics used to this day in Calabria. Like Consl Syriadtus, little is known about Consul Lystus Bellamare.
Consul Mirodionus di Sicilia- The first consul born outside of la Regione Calabria, Mirodionus di Siciliano, was also the only consul not of the family of Bellamare. He became famous for revising the laws of Clabria and cleaning out the rampant corruption. Upon hid deathbed Consul Miroionus di Sicilia (of Sicily) passed one last law. He erradicated the old laws that favvored the Bellamare clan bringing to an end the majority of Calabrian corruption. He was later given the full name Consul Mirodionus di Sicilia il Trasportatore di Legge, Consul Mirodionus of Sicily, the Law Giver.
Consul Genovivus Bellamare- Succeeding Consul Mirodionus, Consul Genovivus brought the Bellamare family back into power. While he tried to re-establish the favoritism laws that benefited the Bellamares, he otherwise followed the same line as Il Transportatore di Legge. He established the court system of La Republica to enforce the laws of Consul Mirodionus and otherwise encouraged the stop of corruption.
Consul Adridormus Bellamare- The last male of the once prosperous Bellamare family, Consul Adridormus Bellamare was the next great consul, the grandson of Consul Genovivus Bellamare. A great military man, he whiped the Calabrian army into shape. After a long line of peaceful consuls, he re-established the strong backbone of Calabrian military excellence. He also refined the economic system of La Republica, making them standard throughout the mepire so as to encourage trade. After his death, the Bellamare clan was no more and it was unanimously passed by La Senato di Calabria to make the title 'Bellamare' along with that of Consul the title of the leader of Calabria.
Consul Iatusmo Diatlo Bellamare Having only recently attained the position of Consul Bellamare, Iatusmo Diatlo is a blank slate from a good family with little history. It is anyone's guess as to where he will lead La Republica.

IT 1 Update 2 1050 BC - 1025 BC
Domestic Events
The Morrocans seem to have woken up and have decided to do something this quarter.
The Morrocan merchants are ordered to stop trading with the Westernmost Carthiginian city and as a result, the Carthiginian city of Tripoli isn't a center of trade anymore. (-Tripolian Trade Center) The Morrocans also begin to start a great Wonder of the World; the Great Trade Network of Menadsn.
The Carthiginians continue working on their secret project and start establishing "Secret Police" in order to punish any political traitors and spies. It also begins to crush the rebellions in Sardinia and integrate it better into Carthiginian society. It begins to send preists en masse to spread the new , independet 'Carthiginian' Polytheism. Many people feel the Carthiginians are abadoning their old culture with this and the recent overthrow of the Oligarchy, even if it was outdated and corrupt. Also with loosing Calabrian and Morrocan trade, their confidence takes a dive.(-1 Culture -1 Confdidence) But getting a new trading post in their Cyreneian colony has balanced their economy out. (+trade center)
Out of the British Isles , a small kingdom has arisen out of the endless barbarians. The British are a Monarchy that has adopted a millitirastic way of life. It has 2 other powerful kingdoms as neighbors, Begunum to the West and Flavia to the North. It will need competent leaders in the road ahead, lest it be swallowed by it's neighbors. (New Nations: Britain , Begunum , and Flavia)
And just a stone's throw away from the British Isle is Deustchland. Theese people are really two major ethniticies, Teutons and Deustchlanders. They are mixing quite well and the Teutons have brought their love of weapons and war with them. Recently Deustchland has founded a few new cities. (New Nation: Deustchland)
East of Deustchland is the Vandals. They are a few tribes who decided to settle down and do some farming. With some tribes in the south and scattered barbarians all aurond , they will have a tough time.
Calabria also has stopped trading with Carthage and most Italics , brining wealth to the Morrocans and the Ebro. With Carthage expanding in the Ebro (see millitary events) most of them join Calabria, and since most trade was going their anyway, they have a new center. (+trade center).
Thessaly has recently come under new more competent leadership. They begin their service by declaring war on Calabria for extorting them. They aslso start a new great wonder , the Parthenon.
With the Byzantine generals having no orders , the Byzantines have some setbacks in the millitary area which are rather frightening. (-1 Confidence)
War rages on in Egypt and Phoenicia, most of theese once strong , beautiful civilizations are in rubble , as the war continues to destroy most of their lands. Many people fear what will after the vaccum of power when Egypt and Phoenicia do destroy each other.
Rasit has recently expanded their border to Phoenicia , although with the Egypto-Phoencian war raging, it did not have the desired effect on trade growth. Also places of learning are widely built , although schooling is still something for a select few. (+Education)
Babylon also starts a new wonder of the world. They keep expanding , but with their massive size comes a problem. Their millitary surely cant watch over such a vast land. Also their coastal city of Burza has been covered in water from the rising river.
The Massgetes keep expanding and expanding. They don't do much of anything else, and with the horrible Infrastructre , thier economy is failing. (-1 Economy)
The Mumbains and Guntrans do something that was not foreseen (see Spotlight) (+2 Confidence , merge Tharia and Mumbai , -2 Economy -3 Culture -2 Education -3 Infrastructre -trade cemter)
The last great colony of Mumbai secedes from lack of protection. (New state: Qatar)
The Three Chinese states continue to pound each other into oblivion. Qi and Qin fortunes sink to their lowest in the war (-2 Confidence for Qi and Qin) because both their capitols are snatched by the Yue.
Mekaia continues to expand , although their have a civil-war going on.. (-1 Confidence -all other sorts of things [see millitary events])
Millitary Events
The 3 new British kingdoms have all recently grown to a much larger size. They now stand poised to strike , but at what? Eachother maybe...
Deustchland continues its strive Eastward to the land of the Teutons. They long to return to their roots.
Morroco doesn't support any millitary endaveours but is growing increasingly paranoid along the Carthignian border.
Carthage begins to expand by the Ebro to find that the Calabrians have already settled their. They attack anyway. The Calabrians and Ebroans secure most of the land. Carthage and Calabria aren't at war though , as neither side was back by their nation's leader, although that doesnt mean their is bad feelings.... Also the Carthigians loose a small amount getting order on Sardinia and expanding their colonial holdings.
(-3 Carthiginian Hundreds -2 Calabrian Hundreds)
A mysterious band of Numidian Mercanaries have recently launched invasions into Morroco and Malta. Morroco proper has take a few hits and is having a hard time driving them out. About 500 Numidian troops landed during the night and took over Malta. It is unclear as too why Numidians are attack theese places..
Thessalains and Calabrians always got along. Athens wa the Greek state that had a problem with Calabria. Nonetheless, diplomatic relations broke down and the Calabrians invaded.
In a stroke of millitary genius (at least for a while) the Calabrians wore out and completely routed the Thessalian men at Pulagia. Then while most of the army was there , the Thessalians striked. They sailed with their superior navy , which proceded to obliverate the Calabrian one and landed by Calabria itself. The surronding area was taken quickly and the Thessalaians blockaded the coast of Sicily to prevent help from getting to Clabria. Now most of the Thessalain army is holding off in a mountainous path that leads to the capitol. Unless the Calabrians act fast , the capitol will be forver in Thessalian hands. Also the Calabrians tried to bribe the Dalmations north of Thessaly to attack , but the weak barbarians were no match for a real army , their lands are being sucked up fast.
(-14 Thessalian Hundreds -Calabrian navy -8 Calabrian Hundreds -11 Thessalaian Galleys -1 Hundred La Legioni)
South of the Thessalio Calabrio war is the Phoencian Egypto war. The Phoenicans have sailed their unopposed navy down most of Egyptian owned Nile , cutting off virtually all Egytian trade. Egypt has secured almost all of Phoenician proper and Tyre is under seige. The Phoenicans also strike back and seige Thebes. Most of the old libraries and temples are desecrated , looted , and destroyed. Two of the most livelist cultures are beating each other out of exsistance.
(-4 Phoenican gallies -24 Phoencian Hundreds - 16 Egyptian Hundreds -1 Economy to warring parties)
The Byzantines have lacked orders , but decide to push on anyway, as if they need orders to see Pontus can be beaten easily. The remaining Pontic millitary retreats to Hattuas, where the Hatti decides to get rid of its counqeror and stick it out on it's own. Stranding the remanants of the Pontic millitary outside the fortifactions of Hattuas, the Pontic millitary was cut to bits by Athens and Byzantium. Pontus has ceased to exsist. Hatti still holds strong in Hattuas and Athens is begining to be pushed back , though slowly.

The Three Chinese states continue to war. Yue makes HUGE gains , smashing into the Shandong and beseiging the Qi capitol. The traps Qi set incase the Yue did get through the Shandong helped , but not eonugh. Qi drives farther and farther South, although it was too late. Yue took Qin's capitol as well, the Qin beleiving a drive for Yue's capitol is the best move. Yue is currently in the best position , having all but one major city under it's control. Qin is destroying whatever Yue or Qi lands they have in hand. China is clearly a mess.
(-19 Yueish Hundreds -16 Qin Hundreds -21 Qi Hundreds -Yue Navy)
Mekaia has always relied on their Koleth to soften an enemy for war. Such was the case for the Mekongese. They had Koleth infiltrate deeply into Mekong society and at the perfect moment , strike. Mekong was in utter choas and the Mekain army moved in and took it over with relative ease. The Koleth who participated in the war expected extra rewards , but they were treated like all others. So they decided they didnt like that.
The Koleth slayed Emperor Tannoth and most government officals. Many soilders pledged to the Koleth , because their generals and kings had been killed. Mostly in the Mekong Mouth region near the capitol is where the strongest Koleth resitance is. Other , not as heavy resitance areas are old Mekong and the old barbarians village that wouldnt give up. The Mekaia have a tough civil war on their hands , although the Koleth cannot win a war of attrition, unless aided by an outside force......

Domestic Events
The Morrocans seem to have woken up and have decided to do something this quarter.
The Morrocan merchants are ordered to stop trading with the Westernmost Carthiginian city and as a result, the Carthiginian city of Tripoli isn't a center of trade anymore. (-Tripolian Trade Center) The Morrocans also begin to start a great Wonder of the World; the Great Trade Network of Menadsn.
The Carthiginians continue working on their secret project and start establishing "Secret Police" in order to punish any political traitors and spies. It also begins to crush the rebellions in Sardinia and integrate it better into Carthiginian society. It begins to send preists en masse to spread the new , independet 'Carthiginian' Polytheism. Many people feel the Carthiginians are abadoning their old culture with this and the recent overthrow of the Oligarchy, even if it was outdated and corrupt. Also with loosing Calabrian and Morrocan trade, their confidence takes a dive.(-1 Culture -1 Confdidence) But getting a new trading post in their Cyreneian colony has balanced their economy out. (+trade center)
Out of the British Isles , a small kingdom has arisen out of the endless barbarians. The British are a Monarchy that has adopted a millitirastic way of life. It has 2 other powerful kingdoms as neighbors, Begunum to the West and Flavia to the North. It will need competent leaders in the road ahead, lest it be swallowed by it's neighbors. (New Nations: Britain , Begunum , and Flavia)
And just a stone's throw away from the British Isle is Deustchland. Theese people are really two major ethniticies, Teutons and Deustchlanders. They are mixing quite well and the Teutons have brought their love of weapons and war with them. Recently Deustchland has founded a few new cities. (New Nation: Deustchland)
East of Deustchland is the Vandals. They are a few tribes who decided to settle down and do some farming. With some tribes in the south and scattered barbarians all aurond , they will have a tough time.
Calabria also has stopped trading with Carthage and most Italics , brining wealth to the Morrocans and the Ebro. With Carthage expanding in the Ebro (see millitary events) most of them join Calabria, and since most trade was going their anyway, they have a new center. (+trade center).
Thessaly has recently come under new more competent leadership. They begin their service by declaring war on Calabria for extorting them. They aslso start a new great wonder , the Parthenon.
With the Byzantine generals having no orders , the Byzantines have some setbacks in the millitary area which are rather frightening. (-1 Confidence)
War rages on in Egypt and Phoenicia, most of theese once strong , beautiful civilizations are in rubble , as the war continues to destroy most of their lands. Many people fear what will after the vaccum of power when Egypt and Phoenicia do destroy each other.
Rasit has recently expanded their border to Phoenicia , although with the Egypto-Phoencian war raging, it did not have the desired effect on trade growth. Also places of learning are widely built , although schooling is still something for a select few. (+Education)
Babylon also starts a new wonder of the world. They keep expanding , but with their massive size comes a problem. Their millitary surely cant watch over such a vast land. Also their coastal city of Burza has been covered in water from the rising river.
The Massgetes keep expanding and expanding. They don't do much of anything else, and with the horrible Infrastructre , thier economy is failing. (-1 Economy)
The Mumbains and Guntrans do something that was not foreseen (see Spotlight) (+2 Confidence , merge Tharia and Mumbai , -2 Economy -3 Culture -2 Education -3 Infrastructre -trade cemter)
The last great colony of Mumbai secedes from lack of protection. (New state: Qatar)
The Three Chinese states continue to pound each other into oblivion. Qi and Qin fortunes sink to their lowest in the war (-2 Confidence for Qi and Qin) because both their capitols are snatched by the Yue.
Mekaia continues to expand , although their have a civil-war going on.. (-1 Confidence -all other sorts of things [see millitary events])
Millitary Events
The 3 new British kingdoms have all recently grown to a much larger size. They now stand poised to strike , but at what? Eachother maybe...
Deustchland continues its strive Eastward to the land of the Teutons. They long to return to their roots.
Morroco doesn't support any millitary endaveours but is growing increasingly paranoid along the Carthignian border.
Carthage begins to expand by the Ebro to find that the Calabrians have already settled their. They attack anyway. The Calabrians and Ebroans secure most of the land. Carthage and Calabria aren't at war though , as neither side was back by their nation's leader, although that doesnt mean their is bad feelings.... Also the Carthigians loose a small amount getting order on Sardinia and expanding their colonial holdings.
(-3 Carthiginian Hundreds -2 Calabrian Hundreds)
A mysterious band of Numidian Mercanaries have recently launched invasions into Morroco and Malta. Morroco proper has take a few hits and is having a hard time driving them out. About 500 Numidian troops landed during the night and took over Malta. It is unclear as too why Numidians are attack theese places..
Thessalains and Calabrians always got along. Athens wa the Greek state that had a problem with Calabria. Nonetheless, diplomatic relations broke down and the Calabrians invaded.
In a stroke of millitary genius (at least for a while) the Calabrians wore out and completely routed the Thessalian men at Pulagia. Then while most of the army was there , the Thessalians striked. They sailed with their superior navy , which proceded to obliverate the Calabrian one and landed by Calabria itself. The surronding area was taken quickly and the Thessalaians blockaded the coast of Sicily to prevent help from getting to Clabria. Now most of the Thessalain army is holding off in a mountainous path that leads to the capitol. Unless the Calabrians act fast , the capitol will be forver in Thessalian hands. Also the Calabrians tried to bribe the Dalmations north of Thessaly to attack , but the weak barbarians were no match for a real army , their lands are being sucked up fast.
(-14 Thessalian Hundreds -Calabrian navy -8 Calabrian Hundreds -11 Thessalaian Galleys -1 Hundred La Legioni)
South of the Thessalio Calabrio war is the Phoencian Egypto war. The Phoenicans have sailed their unopposed navy down most of Egyptian owned Nile , cutting off virtually all Egytian trade. Egypt has secured almost all of Phoenician proper and Tyre is under seige. The Phoenicans also strike back and seige Thebes. Most of the old libraries and temples are desecrated , looted , and destroyed. Two of the most livelist cultures are beating each other out of exsistance.
(-4 Phoenican gallies -24 Phoencian Hundreds - 16 Egyptian Hundreds -1 Economy to warring parties)
The Byzantines have lacked orders , but decide to push on anyway, as if they need orders to see Pontus can be beaten easily. The remaining Pontic millitary retreats to Hattuas, where the Hatti decides to get rid of its counqeror and stick it out on it's own. Stranding the remanants of the Pontic millitary outside the fortifactions of Hattuas, the Pontic millitary was cut to bits by Athens and Byzantium. Pontus has ceased to exsist. Hatti still holds strong in Hattuas and Athens is begining to be pushed back , though slowly.

We will give you control over the province and 1 economy point (representing the taxes they can collect form the land) if you end this war which will destroy our civilization!
In other words, the Koleth will rule Mekong with power bowing only to the Emperor of Mekaia.
