The Gulf of Jazen is that big gulf at the top of the map of Pralgrad that separates the Solarans from the Ironclads.

Arancaytar, Nihat Kahveci is a Turkish striker who plays for Real Sociedad. But for this RP, he is an Imperial Wizard.

I love Mexican rice. The Thai also use rice really well. Then again, I'm also a huge fan of Indian food. It's usually so flavorful that you don't need meat to give it substance.

(OOC: David, the Ironclads have four colors. The two on the left are directly controlled, and the two on the right are in the sphere of control. The darker on the left and the darker on the right are mountainous. All of Solaran land and its supporters are on flatlands.

Zephyr: Aizo is another continent. It's not on the map.)

As Commandant Krilon's troops treaded south, a messenger waving a white flag delivered a message to Krilon. It was a proposed cease fire. Krilon immediately recognized its sincerity and its necessity. He sent back a short response, and he took his troops back north.

Later, east of Solaran territory, large naval bases were being set up on the Gulf of Jazen, and the navy began to move in that general direction.

Commandant Krilon paced back and forth across his tiny office. Staring at a map of enemy positions, he slowly moved a yellow figurine south, then east, and then east again. A knock on the door startled him, knocking the figure to the ground.

He opened the door to find a page with a message. After delivering it, he bowed and promptly went back to wherever he had come from. Krilon closed the door again and opened the note. He slumped down on his couch as he read the communique.

"Cmdt. Krilon --

We have withdrawn two battalions of infantry to bolster to southern front. In their place we have left Lieutenant Gregan and his unit of 75 specialist troops.

You also have new orders. You are to personally take Lt. Gregan's unit, along with an appropriate force of your own, down to the Pralgrad Mountains. We have sent new iron equipment as to make this as comfortable as possible. With them we provided Imperial Wizard Nihat. He will assist you in this mission.

Failure is not acceptable. Return victorious, or not at all.

-- General Fedoric."

Krilon went out to the barracks and began to round up his own team. Five hundred of the most loyal Solaran troops met Krilon and Lt. Gregan outside of the camp, and they set out to the southeast. Behind them trailed Nihat, an imposing figure on the horizon.

As they were out of sight of the camp, Lt. Gregan rode up to Cmdt. Krilon and shared his own views on the mission. An argument ensued, and both went back to their units unsatisfied. From afar, it was easy to see a smaller unit splitting off from the main group and going their own way.
====
Scene: In the forests of central Pralgrad.

Lookout 1: So, I was looking for a ring for Marissa the other day.

Lookout 2: Are you really going to do it?

Before the other lookout could answer, an arrow appeared through his throat. The second lookout ran for the alarm, but before he could reach it he too was struck down. Two figures in generic army uniforms took their uniforms, their passes, and the rest of their supplies.

They beckoned out to the woods, and set up in positions of defense. One man in the recently stolen Kylenian uniform frantically rang the alarm bell. When the Kylen troops arrived, they walked straight into an ambush. There were no survivors, and the troops moved further south.

OOC: Taron is part of Krilon's 500.

SAFT soon got their wish. The Falcon and two Solaran ships departed for Solaran ports along the west coast. As soon as they hit the open seas, three pirate vessels emerged and began advancing on the three other ships. However, they were not expecting the Solaran ships to flee, leaving the Falcon to fend for herself. The ship drifted north on course, but not nearly fast enough to escape the pirates.

When the Falcon was boarded, the pirates were not expecting what they found. On the deck were the Falcon's crew, bound and gagged, and a single Solaran Naval cadet was at the helm. When they searched the hull for the weapons shipments, they came up with nothing, besides several empty crates. Nonetheless, they did have the Falcon back, despite being unable to turn a profit. When they went to question the Solaran on board, he threw a purse of gold towards the pirate leader and leapt overboard.

(OOC: You don't have to have your character approved, as long as they're properly balanced.)

Solaran forces have begun to build in the mountains to the south and east of Solaria, the home city of the house Sol. The troop movements have not gone unnoticed, but so far they have not made any offensive moves. At the moment, they're constructing intense fortifications on the outskirts of Solaran cities, which has most people feeling much more secure.

I'd like it more if people played smaller characters that would actually be involved in the conflict, rather than commanders that just sit back and order - that's my job.

In year 201 of the Imperial Era, Viceroy I ascended to the Imperial Throne. He faced harsh internal struggle and resistance from the powerful houses of Pralgrad. Neither a Sol nor an Ironclad, Viceroy was doomed from the start. To his credit, he lasted three years before he was assassinated by a disaffected guardsman in the pay of Bogdan Kesh, an general in the Imperial Army and a cousin of Viceroy I. Kesh was detained and executed by a few remaining loyalists, while the rest of Pralgrad plotted to take the throne.

Ironclad I, the previous Emperor, had dispatched an Imperial Army to Aizo to finish its return to the Empire. News does not travel quickly between continents. While rounding up the remaining North-Aizoan resistance, the troops there have begun to settle in, and they're expecting a few boatloads of colonists to arrive by the end of the year. All the while, the Aizoan Front of the Imperial Army are oblivious to the passing of Ironclad and Viceroy. Still loyal to Ironclad I, the general in command is determined to subdue the native resistance and return victorious to Pralgrad.

Meanwhile, on Pralgrad, the house Sol has solidified in support of Brigadier-General Jehan Sol, a thirty-something career military man with a quick tongue and a clever wit. Playing to the sympathies of the nearby towns, he quickly wrapped up their support for his candidacy. Controlling the northwest section of Pralgrad and much of its rich mines, the house Sol may indeed come to the throne once more.

However, they will have to get through the Ironclads and their choice for Emperor, Gideon Ironclad. Not the brightest tool in the shed, Gideon Ironclad is backed up by a council of advisors who make most of his decisions, and he's been gaining control of eastern Pralgrad. The bulk of the Imperial Army supports Gideon, and they are building infrastructure to withstand heavy onslaughts from all sides.

Not all Ironclads support the puppet-Emperor - a small but influential group has split off to support Dorian Kylen, an illegitimate grandson of Ironclad I. Kylen was a councilor to the late Viceroy I, and his business acumen and keen sense of opportunity have enabled him to appeal to the growers in southwest and central Pralgrad, who have been able to give him legitimacy and enough support to seize the capital city in the aftermath of Viceroy's assassination. He personally ordered the beheading of Bogdan Kesh, and although he controls the capital currently, a large assault would easily breach the outer walls of the city and lead to nasty urban warfare.

The Sailor's Association for Free Trade (SAFT) has profited in the recent years, and their membership has increased significantly. Merchants deal with them and rely on them to ensure that their goods are sold. All three sides count on them to deliver supplies when they need them. So far, they have not been forced onto one side or another. Recently, however, the Solarans have begun to set up blockades, and SAFT ships have been stopped, and even commandeered. As war wages, staying neutral becomes a much harder task.

It is now 211 IE, seven years after Viceroy I's unfortunate death. Everyone on Pralgrad will be embroiled in the conflict no matter that they do. It has even grabbed you.

Notes:

Mages are extremely rare, as the Empire controlled all pursuit of magical knowledge.
Iron is the best metal for weapons and armor, and it is expensive.
Almost everyone is a member of a faction, and your character is supposed to be.
The leader of a faction may control all of its members temporarily.

The faction leaders are:

Solarans: Drakefyre
Kylens: Alec
Ironclads: Sir David?
Aizoan Front: Omlette
SAFT: Premonition
