stNNES8: Empires in Flames

...wait a minute, i don't believe in one! oh well...

What about Ahura-Mazda? :p
 
Caralis, the capital of Sarisca, is a unique and beautiful city. According to legend, it was founded when the Egyptian refugees first landed on the island of Sardinia. They were welcomed by the native Sardinians, and by mixing Egyptian practical construction know-how with Sardinian farming methods, the city of Caralis and nation of Sarisca were born.

The architecture of Caralis is described by outsiders as 'An eclectic mix of Egyptian, Islander, and Greek construction'. Obelisks and temples are built for the Egyptian and Greek gods, who are all worshipped in Sarisca. A scholar would pay his respects to Thoth and Athena, a warrior would pray to Sekhmet and Aries.

Common buildings are generally built out of cheap mud bricks for the poor (if they are in dry locations) or stone for the richer middle class. But these little structures are seldom noticed by the passive observer.

Sariscans do not yet have an official language. An Egyptian dialect is the language generally used by the upper classes, but all people can communicate in a language related to Greek, similar to Latin. Many other languages from around the Mediterranean are brought in by traders. Because of the large flow of people through Sarisca, it has become, inarguably, the most diverse nation of this time.
 
This is now my time to rant and get my most annoying player award :p

1. Why is the section on China so short?
2. Why are you so biased towards Europe
3. Where are the NPC nations?
4. Why are your maps so good?

Do note that everything of the above was meant in good cheer ;)
 
To: Kashmir, Multan
From: Sindh

The Aryan people are a direct threat to each of our nations. We propose a defensive alliance against the militant Aryan tribes to deter Aryan attacks on our realms.
 
to: Israel
From: Sumer
We Sumer, bringers of the wealth off the east, offer you an alliance for our protection and prosperity.

to: Susa
From: Sumer
We Sumer offer you an alliance, but we will be happy with a NAP if you don't want an alliance right now.

to: Assyria
From: Sumer
Neighbors to the north. We have a proposal for you, join the empire. You will be granted full autonomy, if you refuse, that is too bad.
 
*Secret Diplo- Not For NPC Eyes*
To Sumeria
From Israel
We propose an alliance, but request that you withdraw the one you proposed Mitani. They do not seem to like us, and I believe that our two nations toge3ther can create a lasting peace in the lands between teh Zagros Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea.
 
Yay. It's an almost-certainty that I will fight erez in the coming update due to the stage set here. Hooray.
 
To Troy:
From Macedon:
We assert our claim to the Hellespont and all the isles of the Aegean. Accept and recognize our claim, or face destruction.

To Athens, Thebes, Delphi:
From Macedon:
Thessalis rightfully belongs to us. We settled and cultivated the land; our sweat and toil transformed the hard rock into fertile farmland. Withdraw from our lands, or you will be evicted by force.

To Hittites:
From Macedon:
Hail. Macedon recognizes a kindred state, another great military power, across the sea in Asia. We wish for an alliance; those who are strong should stand together, to keep the weak in their place. Do you agree?
 
OOC: Why my land seems to be cut into city states? I'm a damn despotism...


Asteria

The people of Asteria
Most people that live in Asteria live in Asterii or as slaves around it. Unlike the Romans the Asterians united their lands by force are now are in full control by the city of Asterii and under The line of the kings of Hafrii dynesty.
Most people are either farmers or wariars usualy but there is a rather large trading miniority in the other city states.
Most Asterians believe they are better than other Italics and say that to become Asterian you must prove yourself in battle. This rule have caused many Italics to join the Asterian ranks in fear of being inslaved or having their families inslaved. Many have been granted the title "Citizen of Asteria" after proving themselves in the war against Rome and are now rather loyal.
The cities that did not sent anyone to help Asteria have became rather unpopulated after the islaving of parts of the population.

The Anderian Pantheon
The official religion of the lands is the Anderian pantheon. This religion is rather based on the greek mythology yet in this pantheon the Titans are the main gods, while the lesser gods are their helpers. Chronos is the king of the Titans like in the greek mythology.
Aderian was a young Asterian that could not believe a father would eat his sons like Chronos did in the greek mythology. Soon he begun spreading his word as many believed he is correct and the Aderian pantheon is now believed all over Asteria. The Asterian also have hatered towrads the greeks and their lies about the Titans calling them evil and saying they were defeated.
The Asterians have an interest in time. With the main Titan being Chronos - father and ruler of time it was rather obvious the Asterians will try and follow him. Their love of time and their wishes to learn it, understand it and later control it are the main key behind Asterian religion and science.

to Nations of the Mediterian
We request that an embargo will be put upon Rome by all of you. They are warmongers (:lol:) and wish to destory our fine nations. We have much more resources than they for trade and we will keep prices as low as we can. Anyone that will continue to trade with Rome rather than Asteria will be cosidered an ally of Rome and a threat to the city of Asterii.

to Malta:
We are the land wariars. Fighters of the earth and time. You are people of the sea. We ask for an alliance so we could bring both of our streghts to it's might and time will forever be with us.
 
From: Tanis
To: Israel

Do we haaave to? :p
 
To the Filthy Barbaric Child Killing Incestuous Pharoes of Tanis
From the Dvine and Holy Kingdom of Israel
Keep your paws away you dogs! The Chosen People escaped your lands not so long ago and we are not likely to reaturn any tiem soon. Though you survive now, you shall be stricken for your evil ways! Incest, murder, brutal slave driving of entire nations for generation upon generation. Have your people already forgotten that we defeated you when we were mere slaves? Our armies no how you fight, and they know how to beet you. Our people have been toughened by life in the desert and war with the barbaric Canaanites and Phoenicians. You on the other hand sit lavishly in your Nile River palaces and send your troops to fight little skirmishes agaisnt the greater Egyptians, those who do not sin like you. A curse upon your heathen soul for all the ill that you have done to the Chosen People!

OOC: I have decided that after das's little comment and the fact that Tanis is the major mercantile power anyway, the specific kingdom that my nation escaped form was Tanis.
