State of the Kingdom Address,
After the fall of Tsar Vandal the Princes rallied behind Lord Civius. On a cold winter day in 2800 bc the people of Goldenhorde named their 2nd leader, Tsar Civius. Prince Vandal was immediately named the Kingdoms Military Commander and headed west to take command of the Red Horde. After reaching the unit they began heading back to Babylograd to escort the Coppack settlers Northwest.
"We are being hunted by wild beasts" whispered the Red Hordes' lead scout. The war party decided to take camp for the night upon a tall hill on the western border of the kingdom. As the sun rose the next morning hundreds of the beasts came out of the forest full speed up the hill, the men took up their positions. A bloody battle ensued, Clubs pitted against claws and fangs as the wild cats continued their relentless assault. In the end the Red Horde were victorious but the casualties were heavy. Vandal led his men to a valley just within the Kingdoms borders and allowed the men to heal. His ranks had been severely depleted and he decided to take this opportunity to recruit men from the western province to join the war party.
Meanwhile the Coppack settlers were ready to begin their long journey. With the Red Horde fully healed and new recruits trained, they began their escort duty. They followed the Russian River to a clearing just east of the copper rich lands. Before the men could even begin breaking ground on the settlement a large Pride of the beast cats attacked! The Red Horde had gained much experience from their first battle and easily defended the settlers. Prince Cyc was heard proclaiming a great feast of the Lions' meat where not a belly was left empty. Tsar Civius later proclaimed a national holiday to remember the great battles and the brave men who died defending the Coppack settlement.
Human Barbarians have been spotted roaming the lands east of Coppack. Tsar Civius has sent word to Commander Vandal and requested his opinion on the matter. The Red horde have also been granted a promotion by the Tsar and permission has been given to Vandal for full control of the ceremony.
Great achievements were made by the people of Goldenhorde, The Wheel was discovered by Coppack settlers as an easier way to pull their wagons. Mysticism has led to a ceremonial burial of the brave souls lost defending Coppack as well as a monument (5 turns) being constructed in the city. We have met a new Civilzation, the Sumerians. Pottery will be discovered soon, proclaim our soothsayers (5 turns). A new warrior party is almost finished training in Babylograd (2 turns). We have sacrificed growing our population to build a strong work force and found a new settlement, this has hurt our ranking among foreign powers. Looking forward we should strengthen our economy and increase our numbers with the knowledge of Pottery.
