Konig des Menschen Chapter V (Map Game)

 It is the dawn of a new millennium, but the previous era did not go gently into the pages of history books. The War of the Three Kingdoms rages on in Korea, tables are flipped over in the Holy War against the Hassanids, the Holy Roman Empire watches as France crashes and burns, and the status quo begins to change in many areas.

Starting in 1000 AD, this is an era of civilization of and history in which stories of crusaders and kings are made. The road to greatness is paved now, Can you become the King of Men?

Great People & Events

 * Horseman of Famine: The Altaic Empire has made peace with Joseon on current borders. Though, the war has emptied the coffers of the small kingdom, and those on the front refuse to end the war. This led to a split in the Kingdom of Joseon, with Joseon (maybe into several factions) itself on OTL Korean borders, while the rest in the north still continues to fight as "(Jo)jochuria" or "Jochureon" still Korean.
 * Ashen Lion (Part 7): Early in the year of 1377, the siege of Galway is victorious for Albionic forces despite a number of defeated assaults. The city stubbornly falls to Albionic hands as it became street to street fighting. With the fall of Galway, the remainder of Gaelic forces surrendered (though there are still raids). With that, asides from a few islands, the British Isles is pretty much united under a diarchy between Queen Artoria II and Queen River I. As the theatre on the isles closes, the constant skirmishes between France, Albion, and Valcanor may be dealt with soon enough by River Mordue, who taken it upon herself to deal with the remaining threats to the Kingdom. Fiete, who was in charge of forces during the Irish campaign have already founded her own branch of the Roundtable that has influence in the more northern regions of Europe.
 * The German Discordance: Several rivalries between minor and major states had fueled the hatred between German noble houses. The HRE had never been "unified" in any way, but now after the Great Pestilence, all the little things that had held it together, had faded away, with many seeing the alliance as just a way for Westria to control all the other states and abuse them for protection and tribute, whilst giving back nothing. Infighting began to be commonplace, where war became once again part of everyday life. Some states saw this idiocy and decided to defect from the Alliance. The Italian states defect from the alliance and form their own political ties. Some states in change, like Luxembourg, Antwerpen, Liege, Amsterdam and Brussels join France, either by their own will or by the ominous political aura of the great blue blob.
 * War of Chioggia: A conflict between Genoa and Venice which started in 1378. It was a part of the Venetian-Genoese Wars. The war had mixed results. Venice and her allies won the war against their Italian rival states, however is losing the war against Westria and Eskos. Westria occupies northern Italy, intending to end the way with access to the Mediterranean sea via Trieste. Eskos shares the same sentiment with Westria, although they annexed Dardania in the process of the war.
 * Statement of the Patriarch: The Patriarch of Constantinople, Macarius decides to stay in the city although told by most of his advisors to leave. He says that he will stay in the city, and will not flee in the face of a pagan threat and that it'd be a sacriledge to surrender so easily. This statement brings hope to the citizens and soldiers of the city.
 * A Small Dosage Of Death: It was a miracle that this didn't happen so soon. Disease or sicknesses such as small pox was migitated by limited trade. But those who traded directly with the former Europeans in Elysia or Atlantis would find a fraction of their population declining due to disease lurking around in shadows unnoticed until now.
 * Troubles in Osnerol: Contact with settlers resulted in a portion of the population dying of disease, and growing for every contact. Importation of outsider culture is welcomed by some, but general Osnerol culture is unaffected and causes those to question enthusiasts of abandoning traditional culture in favor of outsiders rather than focusing on just improving life. Their way of life feels threatened and they argue that hundreds of years should not be taken lightly (within a few). Does not help to stoke fears when people are dying from direct contact. The war with a neighbor is only a mere distraction for now.
 * The King of the Eastern Tribes: For centuries Vinland had never had a true leader, the nation consisting of Earls and Grand Chieftains who protected their own lands, fought with or against each other, but now had come a time of change. Keean Amaiqkinsson, the son of the earl of Beul Munnurin and the princess of Úrlöndun, two of the most powerful Earldoms in the realm. His grandfather was an Amaiqac and his father hence named Amaiqkin. Keean brought with him dreams of expansion and greatness. Vinland, a collection of mixed tribes and cultures, now had a true leader and many outsiders named Keean "The King of the Eastern Tribes".
 * Timur the Lame (Part 2): the Qarshid Empire conquers Keqi Khanate, Khorasan, Hormuz Azarkhate, Aenastan and have made an attempt on Kandri but failed due to mountainous terrain. The Urdek Khanate also becomes a tributary state.
 * Distrust in the Emperor: Several noble families of the HRE begin to worry about the growing political power of Westria, especially with the marriage to Boiheim. Many fear this could unite the two nations into one, making Westria by far the strongest nation in the alliance.
 * Raiders of the Plains: As Kickapoo and Kemahana begin expanding their area of influence, they begin raids on the nearest pickings. Kemahana horsemen ride down to the Aztec Empire and terrorize borderlands. Recently, a significant attack on Guamuchil had caused unrest in the peripheral regions of the Empire, as did a subsequent Kickapoo raid on Tamtoc. Caddo was also subject to Kickapoo raids.
 * Dancing Plague: From 1374 to sometime in 1376, there was a European-wide phenonemon when people started dancing in the streets. The dancing mania was not an isolated event, and was well documented in contemporary reports. It was nevertheless poorly understood, and remedies were based on guesswork. Often musicians accompanied dancers, due to a belief that music would treat the mania, but this tactic sometimes backfired by encouraging more to join in. There were rumors that some leaders responded by joining in the dancing, such as Queen River I of Britain (River Mordue). Some other leaders responded negatively or with alarm, there was a case that Queen Artoria II of Britain splashing water on people to get them to stop dancing.

NPC Turns

 * Vinland: The settling of the Amhach (Throat) river continues with the settling of Eyjasgaradh where two rivers intertwine to become the Amhach. The population of Vinland blooms with the slave labour brought from Elysia and the women taken from there. They also reclaim the island of Eyja-Aran. Vinlander explorers found their way following the Velinda (Esophagus) to a great lake, which they named Beul-Maga, the Great Belly.
 * Svartheim: They cannot enter into a war with Atouman, as they are still fighting Haemus and recovering from the civil war. They despise the Atoumans, but can not take military action against them yet. They capture Pristen and raze a large portion of Brizimum, forcing Haemus on it's knees again, vassalizing the state once again. They split the state with Escosia, Escosia getting the north and Svartheim taking the South. The occupation is recorded in history as a brutal part of the history of the region, where Svartheim would act like Rome, crushing rebellions and meetings of ill intentions without mercy.
 * Atoumans: They stubbornly fought in the eastern front for a while, managing to use the land to their advantage against the lesser experienced Isetian troops, who have known more about land flatter than the ones they are normally used to. However, by the end of the decade, the Isetium troops may manage to find an opening and push inwards, as Atouman troops pull back a little. Though Atoumans find more success against Chaldea in Sinope.
 * Urdek Khanate: the village of Bulibaliq was a village that started out as a bazaar and was settled by Daevite soldiers who escaped Europe, named after Bulijin Khatun and the mongol word “Balik” meaning city (located in modern day Garabogaz). It grew into a small port town thanks to it being the center of trade in the Caspian Sea. It is also known for being the center of an escape route for refugees from the dying Altaic Empire to the Golden Horde section itself.
 * Avaria: They absorb the western part of Syd-Vedena (from somewhat east of Lviv to west), inviting Vedena to do the same to the eastern part.
 * Byzantium: They go bankrupt, unable to sustain their army of mercenaries they built up to match the Atoumans. After going into a large amount of debt to the merchant republics, the Byzantines are forced to sell Naxos and Euboea to Venice and Rhodes to Genoa in order to maintain good trade relations. However, they were important trading ports. Epirus becomes independent as well.
 * Escosia: They invade Haemus, capturing Sirmium to help end the war between the Balkan states to help create a more unified front against the Atoumans.
 * Golden Horde: They see minimal success against Vedena, losing rural regions slowly. Peace is made with the Komi after nothing happening between the two powers in decades. The generals in charge of fighting the Yin-Tsu and Georgia fail to see success on their fronts.
 * Georgia: They capture Maikop and siege Astrakhan.
 * Inkeri: They begin an invasion of the Golden Horde, capturing Murom and rural lands between Zhana and Sura-Sitan and Ridslau.
 * Boiheim: The royal family accepts the marriage proposal.
 * Ifari: The kingdom refuses to submit and bolsters it's armies.
 * Adal: They agree to improve relations.
 * Hiraga-koku: They agree to unify with Nagasato, forming the Syonan Nikun-shu (二君主) (dual monarchy). It is also noted that there is slight confusion as to what the Philippines is, as no location had ever been called by that name throughout history.

 * Sultan: Umar Ali Sadiiq (B 1330, alive) (R 1365 - Present)
 * Dynasty: Sadiiq
 * Economy: The economy of Sumali is based on mostly on trade, agriculture and fishing. Trade especially is important since Sumali operates in the vast trade network across the Indian Ocean.

 * Interest in Soqotra: Soqotra, the archipelago belonging to Al-Qarsoon with the city of Tamreda, becomes a place of interest in Sumali's eyes as it could be a very important port in terms of our interest in the trade moving across the Indian Ocean.
 * Mapping out the Indian Ocean: Some navigators, sailors and map makers are sent to map out important ports and parts of the Indian Ocean.

Lepai Confederacy/ Dinetah
Government: Tribal Confederation Economy: Being a Semi-Nomadic people we farm maize, beans, and squash around the more fertile land around the San Juan river and Rio Grande. Much of the population are hunter-gatherers though. Buffalo is a significant part of Lepai life, though they are less significant to us than they are to the Plains Indians. We also mine Turquoise, which is a good that Mesoamericans prize dearly.
 * Binanit’a’i: Hashkeh Naaba

Ceremonial Capital: Ni Alnii’gi (Monument Valley)

De Facto Capital: Tota' Haal'a (Farmington)

Demographics: Military: No standing army, but we have 1,500 warriors who we are able to use in case of a war.

To control these lands, we construct "Kinhoodzo" (Border-Houses) in newly incorporated villages of more than(most of the villages we take are ethnically Lepai, because the Anasazi are basically dead).
 * Nihiitah: The concept of Nihiitah (literally "our land") begins to be established. While it generally refers to land owned by the Lepai Confederacy, it also refers to a mythical land far to the south which is described surrounding a lake, where the Hero Twins rid the world of the original Wechuge.
 * Those who came before us: Finding more and more Anasazi and Pueblo ruins, a mythology begins to develop about the ones who built these structures. Common belief is that they were built by the Diyin Dine (Holy People) who inhabited this land before our migration from Canada.
 * Military Info: We begin to make armor out of cotton, like the Aztecs. Because we mostly fight on horseback, traditional clubs and hammers are not sufficient in reach, resulting in us prefering spears or bows and arrows.
 * Kemahana: Stay on that side of the rocky mountains and we’ll be great neighbors. Also, you know those white fluffy animals (sheep)? Can we have some of those?

Kingdom of Lustria | 'The Eternal Kingdom of the Lizard Gods'

 * Heirs and Pretenders:
 * As'gar ([M], b. 1352, heir)
 * (not related) Religious Leader of Krokanism / The Messenger to Kroak:
 * Rhok'sk ([M] 1284-1328, r. c. 1300s-1328)
 * Omako ([M] 1280-1352, r. 1331-1352)

 * Dynasty:
 * Urchannkian (1275-1361)
 * Krokezian (1361-)
 * Capital: Amekrog
 * Economy: The economy has shifted a lot after the death of Urgoka and the inauguration of Mortal Bearer pretender Krokezal to be the leader again. Trading by now is much focused on the Arawak and the Tremembe people as access to the Tupi people within the deep Amazon region has been cut off by Khorne cultists, thanks to Urgoka's demands to let Khorne cultists have their own kingdom.  Shrines and temples within the remainder of Lustria would begin accepting any food or tribute to any of the Lizard Gods recognised by the Krokanist faith, the 'reformed' part of the Lustrian folk religion. Any type of food would do, except meat, which is forbidden due to connotations of Khorne's sacrifice of meat as being worshipping Khorne.

 * Rest is just rural or other villages
 * Religion: 45% Lustrian folk religion, 3% Arawak folk religion, 50% Krokanist (a 'reformed' Lustrian religion with a more centralised belief system), 2% Cult of Khrone (primarily in western Lustria, Khorn'kor)
 * Culture/Ethnicity: 90% Lustrian, 7% Arawak, 3% Tremembe
 * Military: After the death of Urgoka, many of the Khorne cultists would be expelled from the military. Urgoka's organised military and recruitment strategy would remain, however there is nothing of importance in Lustria that has changed warrior tradition, not at least for the next two centuries.
 * Army: (number clamped down by cultist massacre)
 * 50 'Lizard Warriors' (clubmen with wooden with 'sparsely metallic' shields)
 * 150 'Rainforest Warriors' (spearmen)
 * 120 'Temple Guards' (axemen)
 * 120 'Bowed Protectors' (archers)
 * 22 000 fit men that could be trained into being warriors or hunters

 * Ethnicities: 95% Westrian, 4% Venetian(or what ever ethnicity that lives in trieste area), 1% others
 * Economy: We are based on agriculture and trade through the danube river, trading through Trieste and with most of the HRE. We use our own coins which resembles a lot those of the old Roman empire.
 * Wars and conflicts: 
 * War of Chioggia: We have occupied quite large parts of the country togheter with Escosia. We have more than a little more than three fourths of our armed forces at their unoccupied border (with smaller pushings into their territory happen occaisonally) hoping that they will agree to peace. Since we are also trying to negotiate a peace deal that both Westria and Escosia should get what we have occupied.
 * Chief Commander: Heinrich Scharzenberg (1345 - still alive), (R 1374 - present)

 * Swordmen: 2,050
 * Bowmen: 2,090
 * Cavalry: 2,130

 * Integration of new territory: The so called way to the Mediterranean sea is completed a dream we have had since a long time ago. We now start to integrate the newly conquered provinces to our glorious Archduchy.
 * Discontent among the HRE state?: Rumors are lurking about discontent among the smaller states. We need to do something about this while we still can. We will invite represantatives from every state in the HRE in the Imperial Diet and so we can discuss their problems and why they feel so discontent.
 * Diplomacy:
 * All HRE states: We formally ask you all to attend to our Imperial Diet so we can discuss any problems our HRE might have.
 * Venice: You must agree to peace now right? Or do you want a fullscaled invasion of your last bits of unoccupied territory?

The Heavenly Republic | Yin-Tsu Republic | Respublik Çinnetu

 * Government: Theocratic Republic
 * Heavenly Messenger: Yuen Çin ( b.1317, elected 1367-77), Wang Nëng (b. 1342, elected 1377-)
 * Capital: Chiko
 * Economy: We are mostly agrarian, but dabble in trade in the Black Sea a bit, as well as some mining. The economy is currently in wartime gear.
 * Demographics (current area we control):
 * Population: 425k
 * Chiko: 28k
 * Kamo: 11k
 * Armafa: 9k
 * Aragat: 25k
 * Taganrog: 39k
 * Religion: 92% Orthodox Christianity, 5% Khazarite Judaism, 2% Catholicism, 1% other (mostly foreign traders)
 * Ethnicity: 59% Çumñen (Yin-tsu), 20% Crimean Gothic, 14% Varangian, 5% Khazar 2% other (mostly foreign traders traders)
 * Military:
 * Army: 4000 swordsmen, 1500 archers, 1000 cavalry
 * Navy: 3 heavy ships, 6 galleys, ~212 merchant ships
 * Wars and Conflicts:
 * Yin-Tsu War of Liberation: We push further along the coast, consolidating our holdings. We also send 1000 troops out to the Vedenan front lines, in order to aid our fellow Orthodox republic in crushing the heathen barbarian Daevites.
 * Events:
 * Peace?: With much of the ancestral Yin-tsu territories reclaimed for the Heavenly Republic, and the war dragging on, diplomats are sent to the Altaic court to negotiate for a peace deal. This peace deal would grant us our ancestral territories, in exchange for returning all captured Altaic prisoners of war. Sex.jpg
 * Yuen Steps Down: Despite massive popularity across the nation, Yuen Çin refuses to run for a third term, saying that "Power can turn you into the friend of Satan. I have done what I must to save the children of God from heathen barbarian Daevite oppression. Now, I must do what is right". Yuen Çin's retirement from politics establishes the unwritten rule that a Heavenly Messenger can only serve for two terms.
 * Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Starving: As one of his last acts while in office, Yuen Çin establishes the Dictate of the Good Samaritan, stating that "all men, women, and children fleeing strife, famine, oppression, or hardship, whether serf or noble, poor or wealthy, heathen or Christian, will be able to seek safe refuge in the Heavenly Republic; for it is our duty to serve God through His sons...even the most unholy heathen may one day come to know the Holy Spirit". This decree, incredibly tolerant and progressive for the time,  opened the gates for immigration of people of all races, faiths, and socioeconomic backgrounds into the Yin-tsu Republic, and the area is still known as one of the most diverse places in Europe to this day.

Roman Republic of Vedenia

 * Government: Vedenia is a Republic.
 * Caesar (Leader of the Council): Tycho Fuscinus (1346-1362), Adamus Fuscinus (1362-nowadays). Elected by adult male landowners.
 * Parliament: the Council with no actual factions present.
 * Royal Families: although de-jure Vedenia is a republic, de-facto it is an oligarchy controlled by a few biggest families who battle over the dominance in Vedenia. On the other hand, there is still quite a high social mobility and sometimes even the poorest become the richest.
 * Adamus Fuscinus is the son of Tycho Fuscinus, a prominent governor. He was elected after his father resigned. From the very childhood, Adamus has been interested in warfare and graduated from a military academy as one of the best students. Not long after, he joined the battles against Lithuania but his actions were strongly restricted by the rest of generals. When he became in charge of Vedena, the number of victories against the Daevites has significantly increased.
 * Economy: mostly based on logging, agriculture, and trade.

Kingdom of Osnerol

 * Government: Absolute monarchy
 * King: Hoko Katzo (r. 1362 - 1374), Cuitlaxelo Witzo (r. 1374 - present)
 * Dynasty: 7th Dynasty (1223 - 1374), interregnum (1374 - present)
 * Parliament: None
 * Economy: The Osnerolese economy is based largely on fishing and agriculture, though copper mining is a decently-sized industry as well. Trade with foreign nations such as Elysia and the Atlantian states is becoming an increasingly large source of income for the nation.
 * Capital: Monalba
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 360,000 (83% Osnerolese, 8% Taino, 5% Apalachee, 3% Creek, 1% others)
 * Religion: 96% Osnerolese religion, 4% others

 * Diplomacy:
 * Ogeechee: A peace offer is extened to Ogeechee to end the war, under the condition that Ogeechee cede all occupied land to Osnerol.
 * Events:
 * The Plague: The disease spreading through Osnerolese lands spreads panic throughout the nation. Osnerolese art begins to show increasingly morbid themes around this time, and so does the literature. As part of a religious ritual to appease the god of disease through sacrifice, the bodies of those killed by the disease, as well as their clothing and belongings, are burned. This might be the key to containing the plague...
 * Osnerol Man (pt 2): Hoko Katzo had become quite hated for his "Grecophilia," so in 1374, Cuitlaxelo Witzo led a traditionalist coup, killing the king and crowning himself as king. This leads to the decline of the pro-Hellenic faction (though tech borrowing still occurs).

The Diarchy of Syonan Nikun-shu

 * R: 1364 - Present
 * (South) Muramasa II Heihachirō
 * R: 1321 - 1378
 * (South) Tanjirou Souji
 * R: 1379 - Present
 * Economy: The Syonan Economy primarily consists of fishing, fruits, and precious metals and gems. The currency is based on copper and silver coins. Due to the rapid expansion, the quality of life of even the lowest of peasants has improved, with the poorest able to feed themselves and their families with ease.
 * Main Religion: Shintoism
 * Cities and Demographics:
 * Population: ~510,000
 * Notable Cities:
 * Mei-nira (Governing Capital of the Northern Provinces)
 * Location: Luzon
 * Upon the unification of the Philippines came a renovation to the city, as it was to become the main governing body for the northern provinces.
 * Syonan (Capital)
 * Location: Southern Luzon
 * The proud capital of the Syonan Nikun-shu, as well as the location of the main governing body, where both the northern and southern governors can meet to discuss plans every so often.
 * Nagasato City (Governing Capital of the Southern Provinces)
 * Location: Sarangani Bay
 * Nagasato is a city like no other in the Philippines. Carrying the heritage of generations long past, architecture of old is mixed amongst structures of new, with the sea to the south and jungles to the north. Though no longer the penultimate capital of the Philippines, Nagasato remains as an important governmental body, since this is the headquarters for the governors running the old provinces of Nagasato.'
 * Davao (Mining hub)
 * Location: Southern Mindanao'
 * Davao was a city created to house the various workers that work in the mines located nearby, which provides for a good majority of the exports from Nagasato'
 * Cagayan
 * Location: Northern Mindanao
 * Another port city captured during the Nagasatoan Unification of Mindanao. This city serves as the main naval base of the Syonan Southern Navy, as well as where most of the naval development for the country is conducted.
 * Pemagarong
 * Location: Western Mindanao
 * A main trading hub on the Southeast Asian trading route. As such, most, if not all trade funnels through the region, providing the residences of Pemagarong, and all of Nagasato as a whole, a huge source of income, as products and produce gets funneled both into and out of Nagasato as ships come to and from the port city on a daily basis.

 * 35 Dātsu-class Oceanic Interceptors
 * Crew: 40
 * 60 Tsuna-class Torpedo Boats
 * Crew: 10
 * Various Coastal Patrol Boats
 * 500 Oceanic Transport Vessels
 * Research and Development:
 * Type 001 Yajiri Torpedoes: The aquatic rockets encounter their first taste of combat, being used against rogue pirates (unaffiliated with Rinashima). These tests show that the torpedoes sometimes porpoise out of the water and “dance about the sky”. As such, efforts are made to mitigate this effect, as efforts are made to
 * Subarashi Kulog Taihou MkII: Small improvements are made to the cannons, improving reliability at sea.
 * Muramasa-class Oceanic Battlecruiser: With the new wave of ships came a design for a new type of battlecruiser, to replace the older Yamamoto-class Oceanic Battlecruiser. With the Muramasa-class comes a larger hull, with the hull type of the ship beginning to show its limits. Because of this, development is delayed as a new type of hull is being drafted from the bottom up, to allow for larger ships to be constructed.
 * These ships will mount about twenty cannons per side, as well as have thicker hulls to mitigate any damage from potential torpedoes that could fall into enemy hands.
 * Subarashi Dātsu-class Oceanic Interceptors: Like the Subarashi Pagong-class, the Subarashi Dātsu-class is planned to be slightly bigger to house the same number of cannons as before. However, plans are being made to allow the Subarashi Dātsu-class to wield the new Yajiri Aquatic Rockets, launching the water-skipping rockets from either side of the ship.
 * Tsuna-class Pylon Boat: A small boat designed for speed and firepower. Though only crewed by ten people, this ship is slightly bigger than a Balangay and its design is based on the Pagong-class base. This ship is made to replace the Balangays in service, and has the same amount of cannons as the Balangays (2 cannons). However, these ships are designed to launch their payload of Yajiri Aquatic Rockets with ease.
 * Reptilian Growth: Continued breeding of the filipino monitor lizard has caused the species to grow in size, through decades, if not centuries will be required for the lizards to grow even larger.
 * That being said, they are now large enough to be farmed for food, as these monitor lizards slowly become a delicacy in the Nagasatoan region.
 * Production:
 * Numerous Orders of the Subarashi Kulog Taihou and Yajiri Torpedoes
 * 200 Subarashi Pagong-class Oceanic Cruisers
 * 200 Subarashi Dātsu-class Oceanic Interceptors
 * 400 Tsuna-class Pylon Boat
 * Older ships in use are either scrapped or retrofitted and turned into training vessels
 * Diplomacy:
 * Soryu: Diplomats sent to Soryu, inquiring if they want to enter into an alliance with the seafaring nation to their south.
 * Japan: Diplomats and merchants sail to the island, mainly to get a grasp of the situation
 * Events:
 * Journey to the East (end): With the unification of Nagasato, the outpost was told to finish fortifications of a base, as a small portion of the navy is sent to the outpost to protect Syonan trade in the area.
 * Location of outpost: West-most portion of Papua
 * Death of a Monarch: With the unification complete, Muramasa II finally is contemptuous with his life. On June 7th, 1378, Muramasa II passed away in his sleep.
 * With Muramasa II’s passing, his son, Muramasa III would’ve taken to the throne, but instead of becoming king, Muramasa III became the commander of the Southern Navy. As such, another of the renowned royal families from the south, the Souji’s, took to the throne, with one of Ojirou’s great grandsons, Tanjirou Souji, taking to power the following year.
 * Unifying Forces: While the nation is no more, their plans remain, with the date of the invasion of Suwawa pushed back to the next decade, to give time for construction of new naval vessels, to update the older, vessels still employed by both northern and southern forces. However, this invasion’s goal, along with expanding Syonan Nikun-shu’s influence, also was planned so that the new troops trained up will have experience in battle.
 * From there, plans are made to then invade Tidung, starting with the portion bordering Suwawa before moving onto the rest of Tidung.

Great People & Events

 * The Reconquista: The Citadel of Sanches was breached on May 8th of 1379, after a brutal siege. That day the siege finally turned into conquest, as the first wall crumbled. The majority Valcanorese armies led by general Bartolo de Ortego poured into the city. From a distance, the three kings of Iberia watched with pride and relief, as the campaign begun by Ferdinand the III, had finally reached it's zenith. Agustin the II, king of Valcanor was said to have wept at the sight of the capture of the citadel. After a whole day of fighting within the city, the inner keep was breached and Dhamthos, the Sultan of Andalousia captured. Dhamthos was imprisoned for the rest of his life in Donos. The Reconquista had come to it's end, Iberia was back under the control of the Christian God. The state of Agousta was established at the edge of Iberia, with it's capital in Lisbon as a vassal of Leon. The heir of Dhamthos, Gohtarr, at the age of 11 was placed as a puppet king for the region after his public conversion to Christianity. He renamed himself to Gonzalo at his baptism. The Valcanorese occupied regions became the kingdom of Grenada, a vassal of Valcanor and the Castilean held territories were annexed. Agustin said at the capture of Dhamthos, "Truly, we have witnessed the might of God over Ares, may the power of Christ lead those your armies had led astray bring them back to their Lord, and may you find Christ in your desolation. The ancient dream, has now come fulfilled!"
 * Horseman of Famine: With losses building up, the Altaic Empire could no longer maintain control of Northern Zhuang. Northern Zhuang receives independence. Meanwhile, in the Golden Horde, the realm experiences a collapse as various states become independent between Ukraine and the Caucasus. Chagatai and the Golden Horde, being the last two loyal states, are also questioning the Khan rule and whether it is out of date. Dogar Khan sets out to try to find Bulijins tomb for the Sword of the East, perhaps with the sword the Empire will find its salvation. Meanwhile, Taihou designs blueprints for a new gunpowder weapon that can be wielded by hand.
 * Tavastian Collapse: The Confederacy of Häme dissolves. All notions of unity had been vague interpretations by missionaries who hardly spoke the language, as trade had never been a major portion of the way of life in Häme. The unity that seemingly had existed between the Tavastians dissappears, and no one really knows why. Life hardly changed in any way, except Svearike, Karjala and Inkeri began assimilating minor tribes from the fringes. Svearike annexed several coastal tribes, including the village of Helsinki, of 700 residents, meanwhile Inkeri moved inward, annexing the village of Viipuri, of 1 500 inhabitants and lot's of lakelands. As of 1385, all of Häme had been divided between the likes of Svearike and the Finnic kingdoms.
 * Ashen Lion (Part 8): Britain is now generally at peace on the homeland after taking down resistance and remaining Gael forces. In 1383, Mordue launches a campaign on Valcanor after the latter kingdom refused to stop the skirmishes. They liberated Brest (though they occupied it afterwards as a vassal), Rennes, and La Rochelle. Though the British forces became halted outside of Bordeaux (for now). France mobilizes their army once again in response a year later and sieges Orleans.
 * Timur the Lame (Part 3): The Qarshid Empire makes another attempt at India. They managed to become more successful in Kandri and Chouda, though they take heavy losses due to mountainous terrain. Meanwhile, Timur personally led the Qarshids to take Turzmesistan and Khaledistan. Saka, Luristan, and Mazandaran falls months later.
 * The Exile of the Exousian: The Council of Pygros was forced to flee from Pygros along with the current Exousian, Kiriakos Christodouliadis. The Council relocates to Laibech in refuge and to also be in a more central location for easier traveling for all members of the council.
 * The Weser Split: Due to discord within the Holy Roman Empire, cultural differences between the German populace in certain regions and "economic interests", eastern regions of Anglefrizien have seceded from the kingdom to form the Republic of the Weser, with its capital at Bremen.
 * The White Snow Wolf (Part 1): Fiete Kjaer, the former apprentice of Artoria II, has founded her own branch of knights in the previous years. She set out on a journey to find a spear/lance that was once used by the first Artoria, as she prefers lances more than a sword: The Rhongomyniad.
 * The Burgundian Inheritance: Due to a poorly-timed succession crisis, France now finds itself bisected along its centre by the rise of the Kingdom of Burgundy, ruled by a noble from the House of Burgundy that got swept under the aristocratic rug when Old Burgundy was annexed centuries ago. The seat of power had now moved north, along with their network of conenctions, and now effectively exert rule over their main territories and the Low Countries.
 * Decline of Sukhothai: As the recent kings of Sukhothai are seen in a negative light after massive scandals, many feel such dishonorable leaders should be kicked out. The Ayutthaya dynasty has already received great support in their western provinces, while Johor revolts against their overlords and begins a massive campaign northwards. Unrest begins to brew in Khmer regions, fueled by contempt for the current kings and inspiration from the Malayans, coupled by the influence of Malayans in the region as a result of an exodus from the Black Death decades ago. Luang Prabang takes the opportunity to reclaim Vieng Chan.

NPC Turns

 * Atoumans: Assuming the Isetians did not pull out already and end the war, the Atoumans managed to ambush their forces, who are not as experienced in mountainous terrain, and decimated a large part of the invasion forces. The Atoumans pushed Isetium out of their land, though they managed to acquire the country south of them in the process. As casualties mounting for both sides (though not as much for Atoumans), the Atoumans reach out to Isetium for peace.
 * Teutonic Order: They crush any hostiles within their territory, restoring their borders to their original form. Although, they later invaded Courland out of revenge for supporting the rebels after a brief conflict.
 * Venice: They surrender any occupied territory.
 * Inkeri: They continue their invasion of the Golden horde, capturing Davas and Sura-Sitan. Tapani II, the king of Inkeri begins to call himself as Tapani the Conqueror.
 * Ajuran: They accept the call to arms.
 * Kemahana: They agree.
 * Ogeechee: They agree.

Roman Republic of Vedenia

 * Government: Vedenia is a Republic.
 * Caesar (Leader of the Council): Tycho Fuscinus (1346-1362), Adamus Fuscinus (1362-1380), Mykola Kozhumyaka (1380-nowadays). Elected by adult male landowners.
 * Parliament: the Council with no actual factions present.
 * Royal Families: although de-jure Vedenia is a republic, de-facto it is an oligarchy controlled by a few biggest families who battle over the dominance in Vedenia. On the other hand, there is still quite a high social mobility and sometimes even the poorest become the richest.
 * Mykola Kozhumyaka is the most famous artist in Vedenia, if not entire East Europe. He has created a lot of beautiful artworks combining local Lithuanian and Daevite folklore with ancient Roman aesthetics. However, he entered politics recently and became very popular with the Council. In 1380, after the death of Adamus Fuscinus, he Mykola was elected as the brand new governor. He stands for further expansion of Vedenia and creating closer ties with the strong neighbours.

 * Religion: 80% are Christians (45% are the Orthodox and Catholic churches, 35% are local churches), 20% are local pagans.
 * Wars and Conflicts: at war with the Golden Horde and Lithuania
 * Golden Horde: no mercy to the disgusting nomads who brought sorrow and dismay to the world! we shall never retreat!
 * Courland: troops quickly cross across the borders trying to get to the coast preventing the very existence of any border between the Teutons and Inkeri.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Yin-Tsu: It would be great to create a personal union to secure peace in the region and pursue common aims.
 * Avaria: It would be great to create a personal alliance as we both are quite similar and share the same core enemy - the Teutons.
 * Inkeri: The best what we can do is not to attack each other, do you agree?
 * Military:
 * Army size: ~20'000 (at the moderate expense): 7'000 are sent to battle the Golden Horde, 7'000 are sent to get to the coast of Courland.
 * Events:
 * Local antique: the Renaissance continues developing and changing. Nowadays, more focus is put on combining the local folklore symbols with classical antique aesthetics using wood and lumber as the main source material.
 * Third Rome (electric boogaloo): In the world full of lies and chaos, there is only one fact that remains true: Rome is civilisation, and it is our destiny to spread civilisation across the lands we were all born in.

Kingdom of Lustria | 'The Eternal Kingdom of the Lizard Gods'

 * Government: Centralised tribal monarchy
 * Great Chief / Mortal Bearer of the Lizard Gods:
 * K'oroka ([F], 1199-1246, r. 1222-1246)
 * Moszar ([M], 1214-1258, r. 1246-1258)
 * Urchannk ([M], 1230-1284, r. 1258-1284)
 * Azarkel ([F], 1255-1303, r. 1284-1303)

 * Krokezal ([M], 1320-1385, r. 1347)
 * Urgoka ([F], 1302-1361, r. 1347-1361)
 * Krokezal ([M], 1320-1384, r. 1361-1384)
 * As'gar ([M], b. 1352, r. 1384)
 * Heirs and Pretenders:
 * Razhar'a ([F], b. 1381)
 * (not related) Religious Leader of Krokanism / The Messenger to Kroak: From 1384 and onward, the role is now basically merged to the Mortal Bearer of Lustria
 * Rhok'sk ([M] 1284-1328, r. c. 1300s-1328)
 * Omako ([M] 1280-1352, r. 1331-1352)

 * Dynasty:
 * Urchannkian (1275-1361)
 * Krokezian (1361-)
 * Capital: Amekrog
 * Economy: The economy has shifted a lot after the death of Urgoka and the inauguration of Mortal Bearer pretender Krokezal to be the leader again. Trading by now is much focused on the Arawak and the Tremembe people as access to the Tupi people within the deep Amazon region has been cut off by Khorne cultists, thanks to Urgoka's demands to let Khorne cultists have their own kingdom.  Shrines and temples within the remainder of Lustria would begin accepting any food or tribute to any of the Lizard Gods recognised by the Krokanist faith, the 'reformed' part of the Lustrian folk religion. Any type of food would do, except meat, which is forbidden due to connotations of Khorne's sacrifice of meat as being worshipping Khorne.

 * Culture/Ethnicity: 90% Lustrian, 7% Arawak, 3% Tremembe
 * Military: Since As'gar became the Mortal Bearer, As'gar began devoting himself on training and preparing a new army to retake Khorn'kor back into the rightful united kingdom of Lustria, hoping to finally begin a new era of the kingdom that claims itself to be descendant of lizards. Khorne cultists have declined notably in the late 14th century during the reign of As'gar.

 * Events:
 * Father's Death: The death of an important figure during the times of where Lustria is written and learned by many cautionary archaeologists, Krokezal, who fought against the Khorne cultists, has officially died on 1384 with little record of his death. His son, As'gar would succeed as the new Mortal Bearer and he has a plan to reintegrate Khorn'kor back to Lustria after just two decades of it being an independent realm and overran by cultists.
 * Outrage and Demand of Reunification: During the reign of As'gar, these Khorne cultists have declined in numbers in Amekrogia (East Lustria) and this was seen as good news. The Lustrian army is now ramping up its training under the guidance of As'gar, who he was entrusted by his father to take Khorn'kor back to Lustria and achieve full stability. It is expected that the latter half of the 1380s would see As'gar commencing full invasion.
 * Burials of Krokezal: Krokezal is buried in a huge shrine by followers of the Krokanist faith.

 * Muramasa-class Oceanic Battlecruiser: With the new wave of ships came a design for a new type of battlecruiser, to replace the older Yamamoto-class Oceanic Battlecruiser. The Muramasa-class also sports a new hull design, allowing the ship class to be constructed larger in size.
 * These ships will mount about twenty cannons per side, as well as have thicker hulls to mitigate any damage from potential torpedoes that could fall into enemy hands.
 * Subarashi Dātsu-class Oceanic Interceptors: Like the Subarashi Pagong-class, the Subarashi Dātsu-class is planned to be slightly bigger to house the same number of cannons as before. However, plans are being made to allow the Subarashi Dātsu-class to wield the new Yajiri Aquatic Rockets, launching the water-skipping rockets from either side of the ship.
 * Tsuna-class Pylon Boat: A small boat designed for speed and firepower. Though only crewed by ten people, this ship is slightly bigger than a Balangay and its design is based on the Pagong-class base. This ship is made to replace the Balangays in service, and has the same amount of cannons as the Balangays (2 cannons). However, these ships are designed to launch their payload of Yajiri Aquatic Rockets with ease.
 * Reptilian Growth: Continued breeding of the filipino monitor lizard has caused the species to grow in size, through decades, if not centuries will be required for the lizards to grow even larger.
