stNES - A fresh start

A movement known as the "Way of Truth" begins in Lisbon, Lusitania. Based upon a man named Pedro Tremon, who dedicated his life to writing and working hard, followers of this sect are highly educated, and consitently outperform others by improving methods of completing tasks. Combining that with Lusitania's new focus on education, many people are drawn to this new faith which centers upon finding the "true best way" to do anything and everything.

The current leader of this movement is Jimmy Jabba JibbaJabba, an eloquent speaker, and well versed in the best way to handle problems leaders deal with every day.

Currently the Council of Truth is pushing:
Paying taxes to speed construction of Temple of Yaun
Improving building methods also to speed construction of Temple of Yaun

Currently the Council of Truth is in favor of but not pushing:
Increasing followers
Writing manuscripts and copying the works of Pedro Tremon

Currently the Council of Truth is against:

But Lydia is allied with Troy. If we attack Troy, Lydia will most likely intervene.
 
Verses from: Way of Truth Pedro 1:5-10

Friends I beseech you! Do not let yourselves fall into idleness. Useless is the man who has no use but valuable is the man who has use. Strong is the man who reads with dedication. Do not let yourselves become Useless and weak by giving into society's whims. Work hard to learn and learn well to work better, those are the keys to success.
 
Iron Eye Incans
Capital: Glaredom
Ruler: Thrar Iron Eye (Tyrion)
Government: Feudilism
Tech. Level: Bronze age
Army: 7 armies
Navy: 0 fleets
Economy: Normal
Education: None
Culture: None
Projects: ...
Nation Background: This faction of the incans split off from the main empire in a bloody revolution. After much fighting and bloody sacrifices, Thrar Iron Eye took control of the new kingdom. Installing a new religon, which any other nation in their right minds who have come in contact with them would have called pure evil, Thrar has taken full and utter control of his people. The war however has not come to a stop and the armies of Thrar Iron Eye still partake in raids of the incan empire for slaves and potential sacrificing candidates. Rumor has it that Thrar's forces are preparing for a big push to once and for all finish this bloody war.

Orders: Increase Military.
Split Armys in half, have one half continue jungle burning (will i need a story for this?). Use the other half to set up booby traps (Rock slides, Pits with spikes,tar or rabid animals such as jaguars) in mountains, fortifications in the capital city and hit and run attack on enemy convoys.
 
Story (Not for Lama Lovers): Night Raider Krar had been sent to the mountain front after his last raid. He had recieved it would seem a promotion, he wasnt sure though being sent to the cold mountains wasnt the best of places. Luckily though his men were coming with him. They were good men and was comforting to think that he wasnt going in alone. As soon as they arrived his unit had been given orders.

" Krar its good to see you again," Commander Thrax began, " but now is no time for idle chit-chatter. An Incan convoy of supplies is moving throw this pass," he pointed at a drawing on a map, " and we want you and your men to ambush it. First you will need to arrange traps, rockslides and pits should work well enough."

"When do we leave?"
"Now the convoy will arrive in two days and you need to be prepared."

With that Krar and his men were off. After half a days worth of marching they had reached the pass. After resting they began setting up the traps, Krar sent half his men to begin assembling rockslides on either side of the pass and the other half to dig pits. Come nightfall both these jobs were complete but they still had a full day spare. Krar formed a plan.

"Tomorrow i want your men to round up local preditors. Be carefull not to kill them, then bring them here place them in the pits. feed them just enough to survive, they need to be hungry." He told one of his men. " Now you i want your men to hammer in some spikes into the rocks, maybe bring some logs up and fix them with spikes. That should give them a nasty surprise." Krar finished up finalizing the last details of the plan.

The next day all went as planned, the animals were rounded up and the spike hammered in. They even practiced rolling down some rocks and logs. It worked perfectly, the only real problem was hauling them back up. But in the real battle they would have no need to roll them back up.

Soon the day came. Krars men lay waiting on behind the rockslide traps which had been made to look just like normal rocks. Soon the sounds of the convoy could be heard. Men leading lamas laden with food, drink and weapons could be seen passing by. As soon as the middle of the convoy was allinged with the rock traps the order was shouted across the pass.

"Unleash the power death!!" Krar shouted.

Immediatly the boulders and logs were released. They hurridly began their descent into a valley which would soon be fillid to the brim in blood. Almost as in response to the rolling death bringers lamas began falling into the pits, already the startled screams of the lamas filled the air. Bits of wool and even flesh flew into the air as the predators feeded. The rollers of death had just reached their targets. Men scattered some tried to dodge them, others jumped into the pits to evade being crushed and impaled at the same time while others just stood rooted to the spot and were soon killed asthe rollers crashed into each other at the bottom of the pass. Krars men lifted their secret weapon above their heads and hurled them at the people in the pass. The weapons were pots and urns filled with oil which had been set alight. as they hit the bottom they spread oil onto everything men sceamed in agony as the oil it into their skin. Almost imediatly after hurling te pots Krars men were charging down the slope with weapons ready. They guards of the convoy were mostly dead by the time Krars men reached them and it was only a matter of time before the rest were either dead or captured.

"Lets move!" Krar called. And he and his men returned home after another sucessful raid.

Lusitania

Giss I had died, he was the legendary king who united the wandering tribes of the Lusitanians into the city of Lisbon and its subsidiaries. His legacy will live on forever in the records of Lusitania. Claudius I had gained much fame during the reign of Giss, sweeping the mighty chariot army of Lusitania into Celtic villages, burning and destroying everything in his path to make way for the Lusitanian settlements. He especially gained fame by driving the Celtic army, which somehow made its way to Lisbon, in the historical battle of Lisbon Walls. And thus, because Giss had no apparent heirs, Claudius I rose to become the monarch of Lisbon.

The reign of Claudius was a bloody one to say the least. While he did believe in education, and thus continued to poor resources into the construction of the Temple of Yaan, most of the resources were directed into war. By wielding the war machine that Giss had built, Claudius continued to lead his army against the Celts that plagues the frontier of the kingdom. He did so for as long as he was king, until he was slain in battle, ninety-one years after the creation of Lusitania, 91 a.c. The first son of Claudius, a mathematician, was destined in the will of Claudius to not inherit the kingdom, for reasons that he would be too weak. Instead, the second son, Den Claudius would rule. Thus, Claudius II ascended to the throne of Lusitania.

The armies of Lusitania were tired, the constant war had lay siege upon their good minds. Claudius II decided that it was time for the economy of Lusitania to act as the sword. Instead of waging war, he would consolidate gains. And thus began to construction age of Lusitania.

ORDERS
-Continue construction of the Temple of Yaan. It should be +3 education, not economy 
-Consolidate gains made last turn, encourage settlers to build cities.
-Seize all trade routes that Celtic tribes use, and force them to pay taxes to use the routes.
-Construct roads between my cities/villages to encourage trade and unity.
-Sponsor marketplaces to be built in my villages and cities.
-Government is now a monarchy, with Claudius Dynasty ruling.
-Continue exploring with fleet. If possible, create a trading outpost in Africa.
 
If it wasn't for the temple, the believers in "The Way of Truth" would have abandoned the warmongering state already, and dissent with the government was beginning to grow. The followers continued to work hard on the Temple to hopefully speed it's construction, but more and more decide they would rather risk things in other nations. Many settlers have gathered on the eastern side of the Pyrenees to try and establish a pure settlement they called Pedroton.

if such "lasting orders' can tbe put in for Rome, I'll stay though
 
I order one stat to build an army of short swordsman and one stat to build an army of spearman.

Lusitania

Claudius II had died soon after the completion of a trading outpost in the lands in the south, Africusia. His son was destined to be the successor, Claudius III rose to the throne of Lusitania in 130a.c. Being schooled directly by his father, he was a promoter of the economy and usually filled his room with economic advisors other then military historians, tacticians, or generals. However, the new threat of the united celitc nation posed upon Lusitania demanded a leader of military origin, like the nephew of Claudius', the son of his younger brother. This young man, only 19 years old, had led important victories against the celtic barbarians, and was well adept to leading the nation. It seemed like the nobles of Lusitania agreed, for Claudius III was slaughtered in his palace room by an assassin with a club. The guards did nothing to protect the king.

With no heirs, and his brothers declining the throne, Ferick Claudius soon wore the bronze crown upon his head. The little nephew who everyone thought would never get to rule, is now king as Claudius IV. Quickly he organized four more armies to counter the threat of the Celtic nation, and sent envoys to the Phoenicians, who were the other power within Iberia.

To Phoenicia
From Claudius IV of Lusitania

Heil, noble king. Both our lands are at stake in Iberia by the Celtic nation. I come to you with an offer of allegience, mutual protection if you will, should the nation of the celts attack either one of us. Agreed?
