What happened this week:
Due to the fact that the south of Story was a very good industrial place, Aceland looks into rebuilding whatever was broken, and getting a few people interested in such a project or to work at such a place, to their new destination and their new home. Promising a land of business, a land of possibilities and dreams, but also of hard work to get all of it started. Once everything starts to become stable and going, it should be a very good place for all businessmen, especially ones that have relatives or friends in allied countries Rivernaul or Gayland
Like expected, the new lands from Aceland give it a major boost in Industry & Trade. The southern route has become a very very important route for both Aceland & Rivanaul.
It is finally time... Time to end the war, time to end the existance of the Fluffy Empire, time for King TheJeroen II to execute Empress Fluffy. The very last thing standing between King TheJeroen II executing Empress Fluffy is the volcanic fortress known as Fort Desdemona.
King Jeroen II understands sieging this fortress will be no easy task at all. Therefore he summoned all kings and military generals within the Northern Hresvelg Alliance in order to discuss the best plan of attack.
After many hours The Holy Kingdom of Blaiddyd, Eclua, Dubbia, Mitgobla, Klompia, and their respective military generals agreed on the plan for this one final siege on the Fluffy Empire. They all know that this event will go in history books as ‘The Great siege of Fort Desdemona’.
After scouting, it was revealed that Fort Dedemona has a total 5 entrances to the fortress, with one main entrance. Each army in the Northern Hresvelg Alliance would siege a different entrance, with The Holy Kingdom of Blaiddyd leading the siege by taking on the main entrance. This means that five different armies of five different countries would storm the fortress with the shared goal of ending the existance of the Fluffy Empire.
While ground troops would storm the gates and slay any enemies they would come across. Since all armies now posessed Zanium swords it would be a matter of numbers to decide the winner, in which the Northern Hresvelg Alliance has a surperior advantage in. Archers would take focus on killing any visible troops inside the fortress that could be seen on the walls or anywhere else.
When the armies arrived at Fort Desdemona on March 20, it was very quiet. All soldiers were shocked by the look of the monstrous fort. Multiple people, including very highly trained men, just started crying, out of fear. Generals and Colonels had to encourage their soldiers. After half an hour, most of the soldiers were ready. The 5 armies splitted, each going to another gate. When the horns blew, everyone came in action. The cavalry & Infantry stormed to the gates. There were a lot of archers on the walls from Empress Fluffy at the main gate. They got shot very fast by the archers from the attacking army. At all other sides, there was almost no setback. Only at gate 4, there was something nobody had expected. At the walls, the army of Dubbia saw 12 monstrous animals, as big as mooses.
Nobody was prepared for hellish beings like these. The infantry was paralysed by the look of these creatures. When the hellish goats saw the fear, they got extremely aggressive. They jumped from the walls and devoured everyone they saw. As everyone knows, Dubbia hasn’t the best army. That’s why they took the smallest gate. A disaster. Only 6 cavalry came back to the army at the main gate, from the Holy Kingdom Of Blaiddyd, reporting that the whole army died and 1 of the 12 beasts was hurt.
All gates were locked. Everyone tried to open them. No succes.
But King TheJeroen II had one more secret which he had not used yet, the war machinery. As the battle had started with all armies pushing foreward towards the gates, The Holy Kingdom of Blaiddyd's army stationed hundreds- or even thousands of catapults and trebuchets aroud the premesis of the fortress.
Each and every single one of these machines had tons of projectiles ready to be fired, but King TheJeroen II ordered every single projectile be set on fire before being smashed against the fortress walls, or inside of the fortress. With five armies massacring anyone in sight, and the fortress being under it's most heavy invasion history has ever seen, King TheJeroen II once again hold his lance Areadbhar up in the sky on the command to kill every one in sight and capture Empress Fluffy for her long held execution.
With such military power and a great advantage, King TheJeroen knew it was only but a matter of time before he could kill the Empress.
Rock after rock got slung to the Fort. As you could expect, setting the rocks on fire, wouldn’t help against a Fort made of non-burnable materials. In the beginning, none of the rocks did actual damage. The army felt like it was already defeated. But after multiple rocks thrown on the same wall, it started to break. With every rock hitting the wall, it became more brash. And finally the wall was destroyed and hordes of infantry went between the destroyed rubble, to capture Empress Fluffy. All armies at other gates went through that place, since nobody successfully got through.
The battle was horrible. Thousand of men attacked the fort and killed everyone they saw. The defenders, who were as hellish as their Empress killed savagely. They chopped of everything that came close, including limbs and heads. Although they were in minority, they caused huge damage to the Armies of HKB & mitgobla. Around 4500 men fell, while only 600 were from Fluffy Empire.
While every soldier thought they had won after killing everyone on the square, there was a ghastly scream behind other walls. And they remembered, the Hellish Goats.
Everyone was preparing themselves for the attack. While generals were commanding soldiers to get back in line, the Hellish Goats jumped over the walls, and stormed into the chaotic mess of soldiers on the square. Like arrows, they stormed through the army and every run, they crushed the bones of 4,5 or 8 soldiers.
The noble group in the rear wasn’t even safe for these monsters. While everyone desperately tried to protect the kings of the nations, nobles fell on the ground every second. It seemed like the fight took ages. For every 3
450 men that died, died only 1 from the 12 beasts. When half of the army was already dead, the unforeseeable happened. The mighty king of Eclua got grabbed by a Hellish Goat. When the last Goat was killed, only the left arm of the king was found back.
At the end of the fight, there were in total 22500 men fallen, approximately 70 % of the armies.
King Jeroen II and his cortège climbed the never-ending stairs. When they were finally at the top, there was only one door, completely open. They entered the room, and saw Empress Fluffy. She was beautiful, the complete opposite of her kingdom. She got captured without resisting.
2 days later, on 22 March, Empress Fluffy was executed. People of the HKB call it the beginning of peaceful times.
After days, the Queen finally arrived in the fortress, she looked around for any sign for the God. Nothing.. When 6 hours had passed, she was going to give up, until suddenly out of nowhere an extreme thunderstorm started. Thunder surrounded the entire fortress, making her unable to leave. Behind the thunder, she saw a figure.. It was a woman, a tall woman with hair as with as snow. She wore a white dress with a cape behind it, with a pair of see-through heels. Celia. After the thunder cooled down, Celia walked over to Elena. ‘’Thank you, for bringing me here..’’ Celia said. Before Elena could answer she felt something weird in her stomach, she looked down and saw herself bleeding quickly. ‘’What’s going on..?’’ She said with trouble. ‘’I.. I don’t know?’’ Celia answered. Elena fell down on the floor, blood everywhere. ‘’In order to get a soul back.. You need to sacrifice your own..’’ Elena said, after she remembered what the book said. She gave her a ring, the ring every Queen needs to wear. ‘’You need to be Queen, it’s what Rivanaul deserves..’’ Elena said.
Celia arrived in Rivanaul, and became the new Queen. Rivanaul went back to being the country that avoids war, and will only fight when it’s necessary. They took a page out of Aceland’s book and build a statue in memory of all the soldiers that passed away in the wars.
After a couple days, the new Queen realized she was.. different.. Obviously she was brought back to life, but she had.. a power. The power of lightning. Unfortunately it hurts the Queen a lot, if she uses the power. Because she prefers peace, she’ll try not to use it, unless she has to.
The country of Eclua announced a complete year of national mourning. The son of the king got appointed as the new king.
Rubicon, a land of savages and tribes, has always been left alone by the world. But, on March 29, Duck City (that isn’t a city anymore) decided to invade Rubicon. All tribes resisted, but their weak weapons couldn’t do anything against Modern Duck City. Because Duck City hasn’t had war for a long time, everything went perfect, and they had control over whole Rubicon in a very short time. They immediately started building factories and harbors in the whole country, because the coast lines are very important for the trade in the south.
On 3 April, Cyna decided to make a blockade, so the complete sea is secluded from the rest of the world. The reason behind this isn’t clear. It could possibly be an action of revenge, because the world turned against them in their cold war against Fisktratt.
The lands of FireExcalcibur are very dependent on their sea trade in the West. The government will need to act quick, otherwise, there could be a huge famine.
While the government of Sheepiet Union is sleeping, it keeps getting more and more divided. Sheepiet Resistance is pushing the Shiepiet Union further to the West. The former Sheepiet Union is now almost divided in 2 equally sized territories.
The northern folks from Sheepiet Union hear about the Resistance in the east. A part also started their own movement, called the SUR, Sheepiet Union Raki. They feel like the North is getting left behind by the government. They want to change that. They hope for more followers in their war. The ‘country’ is already recognized by Finly, Lancinne & Icestil.
Some tribes out of the lands of ‘Violent Tribes’ have seen an opportunity to take land. The lands of Swamibai, that are not close to the main lands at all, are pretty poor. A tribe called Askaroni has successfully made a kingdom, that mostly exists of the new conquered lands. They seem pretty friendly.
The people of Sunshine Empire are screaming for help, but the government is nowhere to be seen. While Slater & Blocky are attacking, all big influencers seem to be disappeared. With no good defence or strategy, Sunshine Empire is no more. It is no under policy of Slater & Blocky.
Payelenuff keeps getting deeper in the jungles of the former Riley. It seems like it’s almost the end for Riley. Riley tries to talk to the young ruler of Payelenuff, but she refuses all actions for peace.
The people of MEGAlovania hate their government. They do absolutely nothing. Multiple groups in MEGAlovania have come on the streets and screamed for a better life. They think this can’t happen anymore under the current government. Masses of people went to the parliament, and killed all leaders. Now they ask Klompia if they could join their mighty lands. Only a small part of the former MEGAlovania joined Eclua.
Finly, a small country in the most Eastern areas of the world, has enough of their puny existence. They want to become a new World Force (kinda like North-Korea). They have attacked the southern lands of Kejainoila. Kejainoila has to act quick if they want to resist Finly.
Finly could be an potential enemy in the future from Earth Kingdom.
The sea of Agamora, known for lots of pirates, is located in the middle of the biggest continent. The coasts from Warriors, have had a hard time. Multiple times, villages got robbed by the pirates. This isn’t usual for them, as pirates mostly prefer fighting on water. A reason for these events may be the lack of trade in this sea. Almost no trade goes through, and the pirates need to get an income. The coasts of Warriors seem the best solution for now since the government does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
That’s all for this week! We will start receiving directives once again and a Happy New Year!!! ^.^
Thanks to everyone who voted for this Forum Game to be Best Forum Game! You guys are awesome!
Hello everyone, I’m here again! Today, I have Week 8 to present to you! In this week, you’ll see that lazy governments get punished for letting down their people. The world already looks so different from where we have started, and it will only change more and more in the future. Enjoy reading!
This is how the Map currently looks:
What happened this week:
The president of Aceland, Horizon, has personally gone down and spoke in front of an audience for the first time in his entire life. That is due to the massive revolutions happening all over the world and all the advancements being made.
Horizon has given a speech. His followers tried to write the main key-points of the speech, for it to be easier for other leaders of the world to be up to date on what's being said.
Horizon supports the Sheepiet Resistance movement and urges the government of the Sheepiet Union to cater to his people. He also suggests for the SUR and the Sheepiet Resistance movements to merge together, else they would be dividing the country in two different parts, and although they both are fighting for the same goal, they may clash and have issues. If they don't want to merge, then the president also suggests working together instead, since they already have identical goals.
Both Resistances let the world know that they have already discussed about the future, and have decided to stay apart, because there are still some crucial factors that are on a different line.
The president does not yet recognize the SR as a country, but mentions he would have no issues recognizing them as a country as soon as they form a government. He also mentions that they should start working on that.
Horizon asks both the alliances of the Northern Hresvelg and the alliance of Grand Theft Data to form a "World Order", a building located in either Eclua or Aceland; the decision is left to all the other countries to decide and vote on. This is due to the president's belief that these two alliances are the two biggest alliances in the world currently, and the aim of this is to make massive decisions together if necessary, and to help any smaller or weaker country in-need in other parts of the world, and maybe even each others. (Mostly democratically). The World Order does not have any military power, but the countries will use their militaries if necessary.
There isn’t that much attention for this Order as Aceland hoped. The Northern Hresvelg still hasn’t let anything know about the future between them and the World Order.
Rivanaul has decided to join the World Order, what is quite obvious, since they are in an alliance with Aceland.
Horizon personally mourns the death of the king of Eclua, Luke, and asks if he could talk to his son, the new king, personally. He also thanks him and the nation for the help in the tunnel, being extremely grateful about it.
The King of Eclua, son of Luke, has accepted the offer to talk, and will welcome the king of Aceland warmly when he comes to his palace in Eclua.
To finalize it all, Horizon also thanks his people for forming the country and making it possible to become of such importance in the world. He thanks all the troops, and also apologizes for the forced-military service.
The Sheepiet Union threatens to use thousands of troops against the resistance if they don't come to an agreement with the government. The SU government wants all of the conquered land back and now wants to negotiate with the resistance leaders.
The leaders of the resistance make clear they don’t want to negotiate. They just want a better life for the folk. The Sheepiet Union will have to do something about the poor conditions where most of the folk live in. That’s the only reason why they resist, to overthrow the current government and set up a democracy instead of a dictatorship.
Meanwhile, both groups keep fighting and gaining land. They aren’t afraid of the threats, since they don’t believe that the Sheepiet Union has ‘thousands of troops’ still remaining.
Aceland sends 50 more blacksmiths and 20 more troops to the unhabitated lands with supplies including nutrients and water, and encourages the people there to try to find any valuables that can be brought back home. Anything ranging from weaponry, armory, to minerals, ores and materials, old or newly discovered.
The people living in the colonies, are very pained by the life conditions there. They don’t understand that the government has decided to colonize this land. It is for a reason uninhabited right? The ground isn’t fertile at all. There is no grass nor trees. Although the living people there were so happy with the nutrients and water, since their stock was as good as empty, they still wanted away as quickly as possible. The blacksmiths saw this misery, and already had homesickness. They encouraged the people to search to look for important resources. They told them they had already searched, but didn’t found anything unless some sulfer and nitrogen.
Ready for the destruction of Riley, Atlantropa calls in an additional 3,000 troops and sends them into the front lines. These troops are all positioned on the Northern coast with large amounts of food and are joined by as many troops as possible, while ensuring that the rest of the front line will not fall. They then charge through as hard and fast as possible to attempt to take them over, completing large encircling movements in order to capture as many enemy troops as possible and recruiting them into the Atlantropa forces.
The attack was succesful. The serious weakened Riley didn’t have more than a few thousand soldiers left, and two fronts were two too many. The folk was angry, and demanded a forfeit from the government. On april 25, Riley was completely conquered by Atlantropa and Payelenuff.
The land of FireExcalcibur is quiet. That’s because most people died. There is no food, since the government didn’t decide to do something. Around 180 000 people died of hunger already. Around 50 000 people still live there hungry. There are some reports of cannibalism. All people who tried to escape the country sneaked to Waterland or Swamibai, or got shot.
The land of Finly also keeps pushing nordish. The government of Kejainolia has taken some actions, by sending troops to the south, but they feel like the power of Finly is too strong. They ask their allies Aceland and the white lotus for support.
The piracy on the coasts of Warriors has increased a lot. While the government isn’t doing anything about the issue, the landless pirates finally found a safe place to stay. They have taken the coasts of Warriors. All inhabitants of these coasts have fled.
A lot of people are convinced that they will keep pushing eastish and claim more land of Warriors.
That’s all for this week! We will start receiving directives once again!
This week left us with mixed feelings, some nations seem to be thriving economically and socially. While others are burried in the horrors of violence and despair. This week also saw King Jeroen’s emotional departure, we encourage you to read it all.
This is how the Map Currently Looks:
What happened this week:
After a long and deep meditation on the peak of Mount Gato, the High Priestess of Baclodesa had an unexpected vision. She saw multiple failed harvests across the globe, which sparked a widespread famine. Fearing that this may be true, she hurried to tell the Queen of Baclodesa.
When the Queen heard this, she knew she would be a fool to ignore this vision for her own High Priestess. So the Queen decided to:
1. The usual 20% of the crop harvest (corn and wheat) from the government’s newly established farms in Janneria will be stored on local government lands.
The Queen has also decided to create a temporary government system. Here’s how this system will work:
Any citizen can give any amount of grain to the government. A citizen can give their full harvest, or a citizen can decide to give none. When a citizen decided to give grain, that grain is now officially government property.
In exchange for a citizen giving grain to the government, the citizen will get a yearly salary for the next five years. The amount of the salary will depend on how much grain is given.
If a famine does happen, Baclodesa is obliged to give food to support her people. These measures were acclaimed by Baclodesa’s citizens, who appear to be extremely content with the Queen’s decisions.
Antica raised taxes. Since the country and its population is quite big, it’ll only go up by a small amount. This way people hopefully won’t complain but the amount of money is still enough for the government, or at least that’s what the government expected. And even if the amount that increased was small, the people claim it is an effort from the government to not let the citizens notice how they slowly raise taxes until it’s unbearable, favoring the corrupt and harming the poor.
Aceland’s newly finished tunnel was matter for discussion internationally. The monstrous project of digging a tunnel that connected mainland Aceland and old Komodax Aceland at first seemed impossible. And had all hopes frustrated after the tragedy of the workers who died in the digging process. Fortunately, with the impeccable architectural methods of the kingdom of Eclua, it became a reality. As of today the tunnel is transitable and is starting to see heavy traffic mainly including merchants coming from mainland Aceland to expand their businesses. In the process of building the tunnel, the Ecluan architects realized the tunnel could have a double use, mobilization and minery, and decided to start a series of alternative routes coming from the tunnel, only accessible for employed personnel and they have begun to perform minery activities. The architects say they’re planning on starting “Mass Minery” which is the term they’ve created for this upcoming project, which will bring immense wealth to both nations if executed properly.
After being told that the lives of the people on the uninhabited lands are miserable and they can't seem to find anything valuable at all, Aceland planned to get everyone there back while apologizing for the waste of time and the misery they had to endure. Aceland expected a bigger thrill and excitement, especially for the people involved, out of this expedition.
Before they get back home, Aceland asked the people there to collect as much nitrogen as possible. For reasons that will be revealed later on, Aceland mentions that nitrogen is very important and would like as much of it as possible. - The more Nitrogen that's brought, the more the person that got it will be rewarded.
People will be sent there every once in a while in order to get more Nitrogen, most people on the Uninhabited Lands don’t understand the reason for this request, but since they’re expecting rewards they have decided to stay for longer until they can establish an effective method to collect nitrogen and be able to successfully fill 20 large ships with nitrogen cargo, according to their plans this seems to be in a few months.
Later on, the Sheepiet Union’s government, exhausted by the pressure coming from both the Sheepiet Union Republic and the Sheepiet Resistance, decided to abandon all exercisement of power. And has decided to assign the governation of its territories to Aceland, since they’ve been able to establish the best relationship with the resistance out of all members in the Grand Theft Data alliance.
Aceland’s new Domains in the Old Sheepiet Union
The GTD came to an agreement regarding the negotiation zone, and assigned the entirety of the territory to Rivanaul.
Rivanaul’s new Domains in the Old Story
Finly carried out their last strike against the country of Kejaoinolia, which resulted in the surrendering of Kejainolia’s troops. The entirety of its territories, including the Peanut islands are now under Finly’s possession. Finly expressed they’re looking for further expansion and will not allow any foreign nations to interfere in the way of Finly’s great resurgence. These have been alarming news for the Earth Kingdom, especially the citizens living in what used to be the Kejainolia-Earth Kingdom border.
Finly’s New Domains in the Old Kejainolia
Aceland believed the Pirate State formed a major threat in the near future to the country and its allies - and as a result, planned a military movement to eliminate the existence of such state.
Aceland sent a letter to both Antica and Warriors asking for support in this war, while also giving the attack plan to both of them, only for them to execute.
Antica would have had to send 1,000 swordsmen and 200 medical supports to a specific location in a city in Warriors called "Smerald", since very few people live there, located a few miles on the East of the Pirate State.
Aceland would have had to send 1,500 bowmen with Doubows, 500 swordsmen and loads of resources (food, water) to the exact same location.
Warriors would have had to send 3,000 swordsmen, 1,000 archers and a bunch of medical resources, to that location, as well.
Once all the soldiers were to be united, 3/4th of the bowmen and 1/4th of the swordsmen, which were gonna be called District 2, would’ve went through the South/South-East of the Pirate State and invade that area. All while the rest of the bowmen and swordsmen, called District 1, would’ve went through the North-East/East of the Pirate State, invading those and the Northern area as well. Their goal was to get to the heart of the Pirate State, ruthlessly and viciously killing every single pirate that can be seen with no remorse whatsoever.
All the soldiers were equipped with chain mail armor and will start the attack 2 days after they have successfully been united in one area. They would all start the attack at 1 am, in hopes of catching the Pirate State in a surprise, all while making it harder for them to escape with their boats, as it would be too dark to see where they would be heading.
Aceland’s military plan was carried out as planned, soldiers were mobilized fast and arrived to their assigned positions in time and in good conditions. The equipment the soldiers had was enough to have a slight advantage over the pirates who usually didn’t own armour or didn’t wear it for combat. It was a massacre, most pirates were caught off guard, drunk, they stood no chance against the fierce soldiers from Aceland, Warriors and Antica. The territories once correspondent to the pirate state have now returned to Warriors’ domain.
Re-Conquered Lands
Cyna, desperate to resolve the situation regarding the island that’s being disputed with Fisktratt, decided to make a military statement, by invanding and settling on one of Fisktratt’s coasts. All of Fisktratt’s citizens were inprisoned or executed if they resisted, Cyna’s government has sent a brief but alarming letter to Fisktratt.
Land Invaded by Cyna
Your government might be underestimating the capacity of our military, we have been wanting to resolve this issue for a long time now and your country has made it nothing but impossible. At last, we resort to violence once again, as a statement of fear and threat. Will Fisktratt result being another weak, incompetent country? Or will you fight for your beliefs and what you believe it’s yours. Or at least what you know you’ve stolen and don’t want to give back. The island is ours, and diplomatic or not, we shall recuperate it. For Cyna’s future will be greatest that any other nation’s and inferior countries mustn’t interfere.
Out of pure shock after having been declared war by Payelenuff, Atlantropa immediately readied its defences and prepares for a full on war. All soldiers were forced to stay on duty until new orders arrive. Trenches were dug along the border, forts manned and production of military infrastructure kept on high. All troops stationed themselves along the border and prepare for imminent invasion, as well as 2,000 more troops being conscripted and a plea for all abled bodies to join and fight to protect the place that they call home. General Артём Муханов was brought back from retirement, and went to the front lines. A legendary war general, one who has never lost a battle, even when outnumbered 20:1, whose existence is even rumoured to be a myth. The Atlantropan government knew that if this would be their last stand, they must make it their best stand.
Meanwhile, in the general population, the government was calming the people, assuring them that they would not be invaded or taken over and that they would win against the people trying to invade them. Food and water was rationed out fully, ensuring that everyone has what they need to survive. Local councils were ordered to set up "Functional Skill Schools", where people are taught things like farming and how to save resources. People were encouraged to join and turnout is huge, tens of thousands flock to their local community centres, council buildings and more to learn the skills that would help the economy and the country survive in this time of crisis.
In the newly captured lands, the new citizens are treated just like any other Atlantropan citizen. They are all to participate in the ration and thousands of citizens were drafted in to help in the rebuilding efforts so that the country can produce more of what they need. A new law is passed, one that prevents discrimination against anyone for anything, put there by the ruler. "The country must not be divided in a time where we need to be more united than ever before."
And on 7:00 A.M. of February 2nd of 1022 came the furious wave of Payelenuff’s soldiers, armed to the teeth ready to slay the Atlantropans. Queen Elena had been warned by her council to not start a war with Atlantropa, a foolish decision on her side since most soldiers were still exhausted from the war with Riley, and there had been many casualties. Payelenuff’s resources are running low, and the kingdom has had to suspend sending funds to nobles around the country, who are seeing a difficult situation since they have no money to allow their territories to produce, and some have resorted to slavery. The economy of the country is collapsed, war has been too expensive for the kingdom. And Elena, blindly ignoring the consequences has continued to waste the fortune battle after battle.
Payelenuff’s soldiers are no excuse to this economic shortage, although Queen Elena would’ve wanted to equip her soldiers as best as possible, the funds just weren’t enough and most soldiers barely had damaged swords and no armour at all. They don’t have money to pay for blacksmiths to produce and fix weapons. Regardless of these pathetic conditions, two thousand of Payelenuff’s soldiers ambushed toward Atlantropa’s guards, to this the Atlantropan army promptly responded and sent backup. The two thousand soldiers were easily defeated, not only because they were outnumbered, but because they were undergeared. Queen Elena located troops all around the border except for the place she started the attack from, leaving a huge gap in her defense. Out of fear of being invaded from other sides, she has not mobilized any troops to secure this gap, and has left her soldiers in a standby position awaiting orders.
For the next few days, the North-West part of the planet saw an alarming amount of large scaled earthquakes. Especially located in the zone of the Quet Islands, Camshelez and a part of the Uninhabited lands. Earthquake after earthquake these territories began to collapse, until they saw themselves sunken below sea level. Dubbia’s most recognized scientists have reasons to believe these exaggeratedly scaled earthquakes weren’t caused by natural reasons, and could signify the use of some kind of dark magic. However, this is still just a theory, which if anything has only brought more fear to the citizens of Slater and Blocky, who were also heavily affected by the earthquakes, and have seen their infrastructures severely damaged.
Land Mass that is now Below Sea Level
Tired of the blockade hurting its trade links, Waterland sent an ultimatum to Cyna, and demanded they stop blockading the strait. If they refused, Waterland would declare war on Cyna. Cyna refused.
Atlantropa also sent a public message to Paylenuff, asking her to stop this power hungry madness. Whatever reason she has to invade, Atlantropa offered her help with if they can solve this diplomatically. The citizens of Atlantropa have no reason to feel hostile towards the citizens of Paylenuff and just want them to thrive just as much as all other countries so that they can work together. Queen Elena said she doesn’t find it necessary to resort to diplomacy, and suggests Atlantropa to realize that their society is built on violence, and it’s proven to be the most effective way of solving problems and expanding power and domain.
King TheJeroen II's heart fell cold after the Great Siege of Fort Desdemona had come to its end, but not because of the great amount of casualties. When it came down to soldiers lying dead on the battlefield, it never startled or bothered the king in the slightest.
But this war King TheJeroen II lost something he had never before, a friend. King Luke of Eclua.
King TheJeroen II felt crushed beneath his grief and the guilt of losing his dearest friend due to his blindness to how reckless he was, feeling responsible for getting Eclua and it's king involved with the incident.
On a cold, rainy night when none of the royal guards were watching, King TheJeroen II left his castle along with his trusted lance Areadbhar which he would hold on to until his better end. The king settled off to a short journey towards the Duscur Mountains, known for being both the highest mountain with extreme weather and the most peaceful one at the same time. On one of the mountain peaks he spent all night assembling a small shrine for his dearest friend King Luke, leaving behind a handful of flowers that are known to grow in those mountain areas alongside with a dagger the King of Eclua had gifted him since childhood. As King TheJeroen placed the dagger in front of the shrine he whispered to himself: I beg you... forgive me my dear friend...
Shortly after he travelled back towards his castle where concerned knights asked where he had been. In a sad, broken but dark and hatefull voice King TheJeroen II told them to mind their own business. The following day he would settle off for one final journey towards the capital of Eclua. King TheJeroen II, when asked where he was heading off to, remarked in the same tone as earlier that everyone should mind their own business.
Once King TheJeroen II arrived in the capital of Eclua he reached out for one of the highest ranking members of the Ecluan military and gave him a letter telling the general to personally deliver this to the son of the deceased king. Later, it would turn out the letter contained a farewell to the king of Eclua telling him about how King TheJeroen II felt responsible for all his suffering and could not continue like this. He only asked but for only a single request, forgiveness. He also asked the king of Eclua to take control over the Holy Kingdom of Blaiddyd as King TheJeroen II stated he would leave the kingdom behind.
With his letter given to the Ecluan general, not much was known about King TheJeroen II after. What is for certain is that he was said to have travelled off South-east with his lance Areadbhar in his hand. The very same day, in the lands of South-Mitgobla, a group of bandits were found dead. Each killed off in a more brutal way then the other, with injuries and bloody wounds nobody could describe. One of them contained a note with a plot to ambush King TheJeroen II.
The last that was ever seen of King TheJeroen II was him crossing the border of South-Mitgobla and Swamibai, still with his lance Areadbhar in hand, though many people had sworn the lance was fully stained of darkened blood. Nobody knew where King TheJeroen II would be travelling to. Despite King TheJeroen II was never to be seen again, with some even suggesting that he passed away, groups of bandits that were brutally slaughtered would still show up in countries even as far as Baclodesa and Rivanaul.
Nobody knew what happened to King TheJeroen II but most speculate that his guilt had driven him mad and insane, lose any sense of mankind in him. Destined to wander around the world slaughtering any who he deemed evil in sight until the day he would breath his last breath.
Unified Territories of Eclua and the Holy Kingdom of Blaiddyd
That’s all for this week, we’ll start receiving directives once again.
Hello Everyone! Welcome to WEEK 10 (omg hype 10 weeks woaw nice cool)!! This week (I'm sorry for the delay, both very busy), there are things happening all over the planet! Look North, look South, watch West, watch East, everywhere you'll see drama, disasters, wars and love! Enjoy reading!
This is how the Map currently looks:
What happened this week:
The Grand Theft Data alliance has decided to invite Baclodesa to their alliance. They believe Baclodesa is a land of power, and it would be very good to have them in the alliance, for both military and economic issues. Baclodesa agreed to this and joined the alliance.
The people of Captine had enough from their lazy government. The protests on the streets were huge and they all went to the heart of the country, the palace of the dictator Capitan. They stormed the gates, climbed over the fences and unarmed the watchmen. After they got in the palace, they found the dictator, eating carpaccio in the dinner room. The furious habitants took him outside, and publicly executed him. After the execution, a influencer from the capital city, climbed a tree and shouted: ‘Give the power to the people!’ Rows of people shouted his name. ‘Drakie! Drakie’ Drakie’. This was the moment the country changed their leader and called the country ‘Drakia’.
After weeks of silence in the lands that used to be FireExcalibur, the Government of Baclodesa decided to claim the lands. They have big plans with the new asset, that will probably be more clear in the future…
With the addition of the new land and the new people, Aceland looks into trying to rebuild a sense of government in the people again, something they thought didn't exist.
First, Aceland reassures the people that the government will try its best to cater to all their needs. This started by setting reasonable taxes according to the Socio-economics level of the people. This meant: The introduction of Direct Progressive Income Taxes. These taxes will serve to take a cut from your income, and the cut varies from your payment every year. Quick example, if you get paid 20k-34k a year, you get taxed 10%, if you get paid less than 20k a year, you get taxed nothing, if you get paid 34-150k a year, you get taxed 35%, 45% if 150k+, so on and so forth. The point of these taxes are to eliminate the vast differences in Socio economics level, and at the same time, tax the rich and help the poor get education, food, shelter and more accessible medical attention. Aceland acknowledges that poverty is a factor in the SU people, so these progressive taxes may not bring in a whole lot of income. But the government is ready to raise the Socio economic levels of the poor and make them have viable living conditions at the very least. The same applies to the old Komodax land and the main land as well. Aceland tries to reassure both people that discrimination against people that aren't originally from Aceland is strictly prohibited, these people are now considered part of the country and they follow the same rules, and have the same rights, as everyone else. The people of Aceland already know and acknowledge that.
The new things the government of Aceland has done are pretty successful. Only a few money makers were a bit grumpy about the new changes. The people of former Sheepiet Union believe in a better live under Aceland’s control.
Lancinne announces they are planning to take over the entire southern gulf and asks Rivanaul and San to allow the invasion of their coasts around the gulf.
Rivanaul denies the request of Lancinne to take in the coasts. She militarized the eastern and southern coasts in case of an attack.
Lancinne didn’t like the response of Rivanaul, but they did like something else. San had not answered their question. The government of Lancinne saw this as an agreement between both countries. They sent their ships, and took over some coasts of San. Although they were pretty surprised when the San’s attacked them, they still kept attacking. They leave Rivanaul alone.
Aceland is really branded to find fertilizers. They keep spending money in it. Also Baclodesa decided to help Aceland with the research. After spending a lot of money and time, they found something that could’ve been called a fertilizer. Unfortunately, it currently only works on grass, berry bushes and palm trees.
But since Rivanaul also started working, it also works on weed.
Mivkia, came totally unexpected with a ship to the peninsula of Blocky. They declared that they didn’t want to be this isolated anymore. They’ll try to interact more in the world. A first big step is a monthly sea route to Blocky.
Lancinne decides to change its name to ‘Cinne’.
Enough is enough, and after Cyna declined Waterland's ultimatum they teamed up with Fiskratt and Aceland and Klompia to put an end to Cyna once and for all.
Waterland started with a total blockade of Cyna to cripple their overseas possessions and make them easier to attack, as well as blasting their coastal cities with the artillery on their boats, this had an incredibly negative impact on Cyna’s economy.
Meanwhile, Aceland and Klompia started mobilizing for the attack on the mainland while Fiskratt took over its rightful territories. Waterland made an amphibious invasion through the west while the other countries attack though their respective positions. Waterland used the vast majority of its army, comprising of 10,000 men, of which 5,000 regular knights with full body iron armor and shields and regular swords, which helped counter archer attacks, but are not as mobile, 3,000 cavalry, which were primarily used to quickly rush and harass enemy archers in flat areas, 1,000 archers, and 1,000 artillery that turn make any fortress encountered across the way into rubble quickly. They were well equipped and trained and aware of Cyna's archers quality, and will did their best to avoid plain areas and especially attacking Cyna where they have the high ground. This however, did not completely avoid the large amount of deaths caused by Cyna’s outstanding archers. And around 2,500 of Waterland’s soldiers died in battle. Although they were able to kill and capture 4,000 of Cyna’s.
Following the murder and the humiliation of an Aceland diplomat after looking for peace, Aceland looked into avenging that diplomat, while at the same time helping a lot of counties getting rid of a country that caused nothing but tensions, death and plain annoyance.
Aceland sent 2,000 people equipped with iron armor, swords and shields (whom were to be used as a distraction and as a way to push), 3,000 archers with Doubows and iron armor and 1,000 cavalry (which were used to harass their archers in flat ground preferably) and 1,000 artillery to Klompia, where the troops would rest and be mobilized. As soon as Waterland and Klompia declared war on Cyna, Aceland did too (under the condition the troops are all well rested and prepared), as all 3 forces attacked Cyna at the same time, 30 minutes after Fisk starts their attack on Cyna. Aceland went through and take over the Eastern part of Cyna and started pushing to the heart from there, while Klomp attacked from the North and Water attacked from the West.
Klompia attacked with 50% of its army, equiped with large shields and blue spears in front. Composed by: 2.000 archers. Half the archers carried crossbows, the other half carried normal bows. Since Klompia was really planning on winning this fight, it sent 2.000 cavalries to both the West and East side, to flank the Cyna's archers. These cavalry regiments carried shields and swords.
Fisktratt attacked the little part Cyna invaded with 4,000 troops. They then continued by moving on to the island. Once they claimed the land that once was theirs, they set up a border to prevent Cyna from taking it again. To keep the Cyna troops outside the island, they protected the borders of the island. Once Aceland, Klompia and Waterland started their attack on Cyna, Fisk supported by firing onto the mainland from the island.
This collective effort from the nations of Aceland, Waterland, Fisktratt and Klompia proved itself effective after the entirety of Cyna’s army was exterminated or imprisoned. The territories once invaded by Cyna were taken back by Fisktratt successfully and Cyna is now under the military control of Aceland, Waterland and Klompia. An international agreement regarding the splitting of the lands is still not known. As soon as the president of Aceland knew they had won the war, he was killed by one of his assistants that then killed himself, after pronouncing the words “Silver Shield. Novus Ordo Seclorum”. The people of Aceland have raised in panic, the workers on the mines are too afraid to return to work, and the people who live in the once Sheepiet Union territory are questioning how safe it is for them to be under Aceland’s regime. The authorities found a mysterious coin in the assistant’s pocket…
Atlantropa, realising the huge gap in the borders of Payelenuff gathered all its remaining troops, and gathered them by two of the unguarded points. There, they both punched through the borders backed up with huge supply lines thanks to the amazing efforts of the citizens. Over 13,000 troops attacked on each front thanks to the huge amounts of signups from all citizens and smash through the front lines. General Артём Муханов came up with an amazing strategy for taking out troops - whenever they encounter a reasonable size enemy force or above, they split their force in half and encircle the enemy on both sides. They then proceed to attack them with infantry and archers from all around and force them to surrender, allowing any troops who do surrender to report to a facility in Priley's old lands to get a job role and help with working to rebuild all the newly captured land. They went through the entire country, taking out huge numbers of enemies as well as capturing even more land.This strategy proved to be extremely effective and the Atlantropan army was able to completely defeat every single Payelenuff soldier still present on the northern part of the continent. Payelenuff’s army has now started to prepare their naval defences, to prevent Atlantropa from getting to the mainland.
To prevent being attacked from behind, Atlantropa conscripted a small force of around 5,000 people from all over the country and the newly captured lands of Priley to attack the small piece of land in the South East bordering Dutland. While still being new to the Atlantropa military, the people who came from Priley's old lands were particularly aggressive and powerful with rage at Payelenuff's soldiers for the massacres they committed when invading Priley. Unfortunately, it seems like the Atlantropan army underestimated the amount of troops that were guarding the territories near Dutland. and the Atlantropan forces were miserably outnumbered, which resulted in the massacre of 2,000 of the soldiers and imprisoning of the rest.
In Gayland’s principal city, a man, around 20 years old exclaimed the words Silver Shield. Novus Ordo Seclorum” after lighting himself on fire and saying “You’re underestimating the power of “Anas platyrhynchos domesticus”.
A few weeks later, Finly declared war on the Earth Kingdom. As justification for this war they said they are looking for expansion of their territories and economic capacity. Finly wants to become a major trade exponent in the northernmost part of the world.
A volcano erupted near one of Rivanaul’s main cities, and resulted in the death of 200 citizens. The scientists of Dubbia have alarmed Queen Celia because they believe the eruption will cause the reactivation of other Volcanoes in the zone. Everyone is in panic.
Since most people in SUR live a very nomadic life, just as the people in Yoya, the leaders of the 2 countries decided to merge to become a bigger power and more prepared for possible attacks. The name will be a combination of both countries names, ‘Yosur’
That’s all for this week, we’ll start receiving directives once again.
WhaT a Highly interEsting wEek. No player expecteD what happened. From ancIent legendS to the returN of Komodax? WE have two DubbiAs uh oh… most populaR one stays.
This is the current look of the map:
What happened this week:
A while has passed since doctor died after her country was taken over, mysteriously after the takeover the towns and people disappeared. But to everyone's horror a message appears as a whisper in the wind those who miss it receive scrolls delivered by unknown methods. It is the voice and writing of the phantom doctor herself. "Soon, the world will be remade, everything that has happened has brought you to this, but the choice you make now, will determine your survival, and long have I waited, and now the rise of the sunset empire will begin." It appears the doctor has used witchcraft to resurrect herself and with the time she has been dead, amass the largest army ever seen. Millions of soldiers and thousands of warships for her navy. Worse her own personal assassins' bodyguards the mystics. Now, she offers her hand to any country willing to join her, all she asks is they call her empress 13. She will bring a new united peace to the world. And everything will be kept as close to as it was before as possible with minor changes. Those who don't join will be invaded and forced to join. She calls this new alliance. The Sunset Empire. A mysterious island called, Hexadon has appeared in the middle of the ocean between Klompia and The Uninhabited Islands. Where the doctor has created a dark artificial space for her army's. As a show of strength, doctor unleashed a massive invasion of the beaches of the uninhabited lands and furthermore a single command ship completely annihilated the shores of the violent tribes effectively silencing them forever. Also creating a massive sand ravine prevents anyone from effectively landing there. The choices, directives, you make now will determine what happens next in this world event. Choose wisely, join doctor or join forces.
While FireExcalibur can import most of their food from other countries, the country of Baclodesa needed a stable food source. Due to limited options, Baclodesa decided that the best course of action would be fishing. Since FireExcalibur would need to rely heavily on sea trade, this fitted that mentality. Trout, salmon, and shrimp are plentiful in oceanic biomes. Baclodesa sent 2000 fishermen to the coasts of FireExcalibur with fishing nets and boats. The fishermen are still establishing themselves, but somewhat of a market is already being created. Many fishermen of FireExcalibur resolved their goods didn’t have to stay within the nearby territories and so have been working on a new economic concept: export. In a few months, it is believed these fishermen will be able to establish a sustainable fish export market. This will bring Baclodesa to the next level in economic development.
The government of Baclodesa resolved FireExcalibur needs a reliable natural resource. In short, they need to trade a valuable product to merchants who come to trade food and other goods. Due to the amazing location of the country the coasts are perfect for salt cultivation. With the large, enclosed bay plus the long, flat beaches, it would be easy and efficient to harvest salt.
First, Baclodesa undertook a project of building a stone wall (kind of like a sandbar) off the edge of the southern coast of FireExcalibur. This wall was key to salt cultivation. The wall lets water in when the tide is high but traps the water when the tide is low. Over time the water that is trapped will evaporate into salt. Then the salt is harvested. The wall was successfully built and the people of FireExcalibur have been working hard to harvest as much salt as possible.
Another resource that Baclodesa started to focus on is glass. FireExcalibur’s desert lands are great for glass production, as the main ingredient for glass (sand) is plentiful. This sand is then heated in a furnace until it liquifies, then it’s poured on a tin sheet to make a flat sheet of glass.
Baclodesa’s economy has seen an exponential growth with the recent acquisition of FireExcalibur. And they have now positioned themselves as the third biggest world economy. After Aceland and Eclua.
Baclodesa encouraged people to become a citizen of FireExcalibur. Not just the people of Balcodesa, but anyone who decides to move to FireExcalibur will automatically become a citizen. To encourage people further, new citizens were able to choose from the assortment of abandoned houses across the lands of FireExcalibur (on a first come, first serve, basis). To give citizens a fresh start, people did not have to pay taxes for the next 5 years if they are a citizen of FireExcalibur. With this new influx of citizens plus the natural resources FireExcalibur provides, Baclodesa encouraged merchants from across the globe to come and trade with FireExcalibur. It’s been impossible for the Baclodesan government to get an accurate grasp of the number of people who have migrated to the territories of FireExcalibur, but they estimate it’s been around ten thousand. This new life opportunity for people around the globe was also the perfect chance for numerous criminals to find asylum without the prosecution of the laws from their origin countries. FireExcalibur’s safety is at risk, populated (even if in a small percentage) by criminals.
The council of the wise, at Dubbia had a premonition which they communicated to Aceland so they could share the message amongst the members of the GTD. The council’s message was as followed:
“When a problem is too big for the living’s intervention, then it’s the dead the ones to come to. Please think of every possibly special place you might’ve visited, they all hide something you might find useful.
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
Following the assassination of the president of Aceland, order had to be brought back. As ministers tried to bring back calm and peace into the country and the people, a nation wide investigation went down with every single government official. This was kept a secret until further notice. Anyone who spoke up about it was threatened to be killed in fear of being a traitor. All while this was happening, the son of the president had been looking for answers. Answers about who the killers really were. Who they truly must have been. A faint voice whispers to him, To avenge his father, to bring him back to life. All the secrets lie in the Desdemona castle, as with the promise of a new hope.
The son of the president talks to Celia, being allied with her, about the secrets of the castle. And together they went there in order to attempt to resurrect what they believe is a long time fighter of the Anas platyrhynchos domesticus. Bringing with him the magical goose of Aceland, they march forward into the castle. The spell, casted. The chant, chanted. All that was left is to sacrifice the magical goose, and a soul. Despite Celia's warning, the son of Horizon went through with it. For the prosperity of the country, the future, his father, and revenge.
The magical goose was thought to be the only enemy, capable of being able to defeat the Anas platyrhynchos domesticus. With its soul, and the soul of the human, a Prince was resurrected. Prince Dunkelheit. He felt strange... He looked around, seeing the so familiar looking castle, and the so familiar Goddess.
"Where am I? Who.. are you?"
"You have been brought back to life. The nation of Aceland needs you. A soul and a goose has been sacrificed to bring you back. Your favorite animal. Your favorite grandson. The Anas platyrhynchos domesticus has come back to haunt the nation. It needs your help. They need your help."
And before Prince Dunkelheit could ask anything, Celia disappeared.
Dunkelheit returned to Aceland, where everyone was utterly surprised by his presence. The ministers rushed over and asked, "The son? Where is he? Who are you, and what brought you here?"
"The son of Horizon? He sacrificed himself for me. His grandfather. I am Prince Dunkelheit."
Before anything could be said, Dunkelheit was announced as the new leader of the country. Confusion rose at first, but the people of Aceland either remember Prince Dunkelheit, or they got to hear their parents and grandparents tell them the greatest stories about him. His return to the nation was filled with joy and nostalgia. Something seemed off about him though... The magical goose, why was it sacrificed? As the prince tried to understand his new physical existence, he realized he must have superpowers. What were they? The search may go for days, weeks or years. Only time can tell. It must be correlated to the Anas platyrhynchos domesticus. All that can be faintly remembered is that the magical goose had the breath of a dragon.
Dunkelheit immediately wanted to know what had happened to his son. He was taken to the treasury, where he told about what had happened and they showed him the coin which the murderer had in his pocket. He lightly rinsed it with his thumb, and read its encryption out loud “Silver Shield. Novus ordo seclorum.” The treasury started to shake tremendously and the structure collapsed. The coin had disappeared, but with it, a small golden coloured winged lizard lying on the prince’s palm.
Waterland, Fisktratt, Aceland and Klompia came to an agreement as to how they would divide the conquered lands of Cyna.
It was a rainy day when Queen Celia got the news about Empress 13. She was shocked about the news, but not surprised. When Celia was still down in the cold, darkness that is the underworld, she had a chance to speak to the Empress. All she could talk about was hoping to finally, one day, come back to earth.
The queen remembered Elena talking to her, almost daily. Desperately, Celia decided that the only way to get answers, is to hope Elena is in the underworld, and able to communicate. She looked through her old office, trying to find the key to the room where Elena used to talk to Celia. She looked everywhere but couldn’t find it. She opened the last drawer and found the key, but also a coin. ''Silver Shield. Novus Ordo Seclorum'' written on it. Those were the words on the coin. She asked her duke about it, but he was clueless as well. He told her that there was a spy from Gayland, who might have had answers, but he got killed. He had short brown hair, and brown eyes. His name was Robert. That's all the information the duke was able to give her. Celia desperately walked to the dark room, hoping Elena and Robert were worthy enough to be sent to the underworld. Hoping she could talk to them.. Hoping to get answers in order to finally bring peace to the world. The goddess concentrated the entirety of her power into communicating with the two deceased, and was able to talk to both. When she went to the dark room, she sat down and crossed her legs, closed her eyes and started praying. Not so long after, she heard a voice,
“Celia? Celia is that you? What are you doing here” Said a familiar feminine voice.
“I’m not physically here, I need your help. I found this coin “Silver Shield. Novus Ordo Seclorum” what is it?” She asked
“I… don’t know. I received it in a big and heavy wooden box, which was full of rocks. But after removing all rocks from the box, I found the coin. With “Novus Ordo Seclorum” written on it and a copper dragon…” She exclaimed, her tone turning somewhat preoccupied now. “I have got no idea as to what it means, but it must have some connection with Duck City’s spy that was caught at Gayland, he had an identical coin”
“I know that” Celia claimed, “which is why I’m also trying to communicate with him.”
“Best of luck” Said Elena, after vanishing for one last time.
Celia continued her prayers until she could envision a man, he had brown hair and brown eyes. It had to be him. “Hey you!” Celia shouted, to get his attention”
He turned around and widened his eyes “W-what do you want”
“I have a coin, that says “Novus Ordo Seclorum” on it. You must know what it means, you were a spy from Duck City”
“I shan’t betray my nation”
“You’re dead, you have no nation. You’re nothing.” Celia looked deep into his eyes, as if she could stare right into his soul. “Tell me what it means”
“uh-uh what are you doing to me? You’re a monster! You’re a demon! Get away!”
“You know it hurts, speaking will be your relief”
He started to shake, and sweat intensely. “Okay fine! But make it stop! Make it stop!”
Celia looked away.
“Legends say the ancient nation of the Duck City was once governed by 4 monarchs. All of them siblings, they had grown up by themselves with no parents. They raised themselves in the woods, and fed themselves insects to survive. Throughout the years the five children had become children of nature. They felt part of the soil, and the soil felt part of them. Growing up, magical powers started to manifest, starting with the oldest. Desdemona, she had a strange fascination with goats, and liked keeping them as pets. But she didn’t understand the concept of pets the way you and I do, for her pets were disposable, secondary, merely temporary living cosmetics. The colour of blood amused her, but there was something in Goat’s blood that called her attention. “It’s a reddish I like. Blood signifies death, yet it’s such a lively colour. Death must not be sad, it’s life's most celebrated festival” she used to say. The youngest, Quet had the ability to connect with water. He felt most at home at the coasts of Duck City. Cheette, the second oldest had the ability to communicate with reptiles. He travelled always on a dragon’s back, and had seen the whole world from one end to the other. Cheette was power hungry though, and felt extreme jealousy for her sister’s (Desdemona) position of authority in their family. Cheette tried to kill Desdemona while she was sleeping, but he failed. One of her sister’s goats let out a loud screech when he raised the heavy rock he was going to use to kill her. Cheette hit her in the head with the rock, and Desdemona vanished into smoke and appeared at his back.
“I had been expecting you to do this. I can see the anger in your eyes brother. Jealousy isn’t paid well. I curse you, for trying to kill me, for betraying our family.” Desdemona turned Cheette into a small golden winged lizard.
The fourth sibling, Pay. Was the best looking of them all, and one could say the most beautiful of all women. She turned obsessed with her appearance and could not resist anyone challenging her superiority. With her looks came a magical power to convince she had a way with words, she seduced every prince, got away with their wealth and left them. Her victims, stunned by her lovely magical aura, didn't bother to end up living in the streets. She brought most wealth to herself and her brothers, with which they were able to establish the nation of Duck City. Whenever Pay lead an army, they’d end up victorious. With her unnatural powers to fool the human mind, she made any man do as she pleased. She convinced an entire society into accepting her and her siblings as supreme and unquestionable leaders.
As they grew older their powers developed more and more. They had the power of the Gods, while being mortal. The immense amount of power was too much for their mortal minds to handle it, and at times they turned destructive. They started arguing between each other, causing immense catastrophes. When they realized their foolish arguments had brought much suffering to their people, they decided to promise each other to never meet again. And they split up, every sibling travelled to a different part of the world, where they established their own nations. To never meet again, for the sake of humanity, separated until they died.
Some say Cheette never left Duck City, and continued to fly around the nation. He hid from humans, in fear of being hunted and killed. Though it was very hard for him to hide, many humans saw that golden winged lizard flying around the fields of Duck City. It became such a popular myth, the people decided to decorate their currency with a drawing of him.“
Celia was overwhelmed with information, and opened her eyes only to find herself in the dark room. She walked out, and started writing down everything the spy had told her. One thing did come to her mind, these 4 siblings were probably the way to defeat Empress 13. And she remembered the recommendation from Dubbia’s Council of the Wise “When a problem is too big for the living’s intervention, then it’s the dead the ones to come to”
After her successful conversation with Elena and Robert, queen Celia decided to test out her powers. The world wasn’t the same anymore.. She used to be a legendary fighter, but a simple iron sword wasn't enough to defend herself. She wanted to protect her kingdom from the many threats, and she knew the only way she could do that is by becoming the legendary fighter she was known for. Except now using lighting powers. She wasn’t entirely sure as to why lightning was the first thing that came to her mind, but she thought it may as well be a sign. She went out at night, and sat down in the middle of a prairie, she prayed to the clouds and asked them to scream. To scream in agony in the shape of lightning. And they did. The lightning hit her, and she could feel her fingers sparkle. She stood up, pointed at a flower and blasted it into ashes with a lightning strike.
The people of Warriors have been wanting a new and better government, one that actually listens to and helps them. The leader of Warriors finally breaks from the pressure and announces handing out the lands to Aceland as their people suggested, and then accompanied by a fleet from the country.
The government of Aceland cheered all week because of this new huge land mass under their control. They really believe that themselves (or GTD) will become the rulers of the world forever! The new lands have potential to again boost the economy of Aceland. Aceland is currently the biggest World Power the land has ever seen (after Doctor of course). The former leaders were buried alive as a ceremonial transition of the leadership. From the 183 former rulers of Warriors, only 2 survived.
Territories given back to Komodax’s old leader.
The previous leader of Komodax has been getting rather close with the government of Aceland, and as a result Aceland was looking for a way to put him back in power of the lands they once took from him - since the land is divided from the mainland, this didn't seem like much of an issue. Only issue was that the tunnel led up to Komodax.
To the main issue, the tunnel will still remain what it always has been made for. Except instead, the tunnel has a promise of being able to benefit two countries at once, two communities, under two different leaders. Merchants now may very well trade with merchants from another country, and the people of the old Komodax can finally have their own identity once again. Aceland offers Dragonax to become in an alliance.
It's a happy and pleasant day in Drakia, the previous king had been overthrown after years of neglecting his people. The new leader, Drakie, immediately changed the name of the country to Drakia and set out to make his newfound country a better place. The first thing he did was to announce to his people that he was now the new leader. He then started multiple projects, building a wall around the perimeter of Drakia, selected multiple trustworthy and influential citizens to become his second in command.
The wall is started, and all resources & manpower is used to succeed this goal. They started building the wall in the south, at the borders with Dutland. After 5 months, the wall will successfully be built around the country.
He sent out multiple letters of peace treaties to the countries of Dutland, Atlantropa, and Payelenuff.
Atlantropa - Pending
Dutland - Denied
Payelenuff - Accepted
The government of Icestil disappeared. Rumours spread they fled for the dangers of Doctor. A new individual, called Dubby, claims the land and controls it now. He names the country ‘Dubbia’, the same as the Dubbia in the North. He asks the world to vote for the country who they think has the right on the name.
Newly Established Nation of Dubbia
Rumors say Queen Elena of Payelenuff lost her sanity only at the age of 10 after her father died. Ever since, she had to assume the leadership of the kingdom, and thirsty for power and lands will forever be remembered as history's most violent monarch. It is also said she treats her crown with incredible care, as if her life, her power and her kindgom depended on it…
Empress 13 smiles as the chaos has begun... Will Elena see her side of it, and join her in a quest for power?
New governments around the world are searching for allies. They let the world know that their mailbox is open.
This Week’s Song:
There's a man going around taking names And he decides who to free and who to blame Everybody won't be treated all the same There'll be a golden ladder reaching down When the man comes around The hairs on your arm will stand up At the terror in each sip and in each sup Will you partake of that last offered cup Or disappear into the potter's ground When the man comes around
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum Voices calling, voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's alpha and omega's kingdom come And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Till Armageddon no salam, no shalom Then the father hen will call his chickens home The wise man will bow down before the throne And at his feet they'll cast their golden crowns When the man comes around Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still Listen to the words long written down When the man comes around
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum Voices calling, voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's alpha and omega's kingdom come And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks In measured hundred weight and penny pound When the man comes around
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts. And I looked, and behold a pale horse, and his name that sat on him was Death, and hell followed with him
