Khenir
The final battle begins
The new and probabily last emperor, Acamas IV has just been crowned. He just met the emissaries from the rebels and refused the peace offer. Instead he began to organize a mass exodus and an attempt for a final defense of the city. The nobles, stubbornly, stuck to their beliefs and refused to move an inch to defend the city and began to prepare for the exodus. By now the only royalist city is Khenir as all the other towns/villages, scared by the survivors stories, joined the rebels. They are pretty much ready to take the capital now as they captured the armories where the nobility held siege machines.
Divisions
Despite what the noble clergy said, many people were faithful to their former gods and were very angry of the mass looting of temples despite the constant wording of the town militias, whom openly killed priests. A few priests were housed in people's houses, however, it won't be long until they are found.

Oodite Empire
The Oodite Empire is a Shamide nation on B-14 that streches from the mesopotamia that links to the central river and extend throughout most of the river to the shoreland, although the province of the shoreland is just an exclave and the southren river is populated by nomads. At first it was a great nation that ruled the northren and central rivers at it's height in 1000 B.C but now it's similar to the Byzantine Empire in the year 1000 A.D (on politics of course). A struggling empire unsuccesfuly wanting to restore it's former possesions after constant warring with nomad states, but the frontiers have pretty much pacified except on the central river.
New emperor, beggining of the new conquests
The new Oodite emperor, Heseih II was crowned. He is a caught-by-surprise ruler but an ambitious 57 year old man. He knows that restoring the old Oodite Empire is suicide (not to mention, a few friends were already made), but he now only wants to restore the southren river to reunite the shores. However, despite only few on his nobility know about the plan, it is going to be followed by hardships as some states developed amiable relationships with the "annoying" Terei kingdom, including the Oodite's best ally, the Ohederan kingdom, located on the northren river where it hits the sea.
A new mornings has risen. the work on trying to build even a few huts in the lava pit has gotten a little hasty; winter is coming, and wolves easily kill Zuntals. there is now 1 storage shed, 14 huts, and a barracks. there is a large amount of food and water they have acquired; there is about 157 piece of food. A small makeshift wall has been made around the camp as people work hastily to get something small going in the cave. all of the soldiers are now to guard the miners or gatherers.
((I strongly suggest putting this song while reading this))
Khenir
The battle begins
The rebels finally decided to attack the gates of the Khenir Empire. The Emperor Acamas IV and his close relatives (sons, aunts, brothers, etc) escape the city in the boats and set sail to the other side of the sea. Other nobles also follow the same step as some soldiers disgused of nobles.
Shamides
Oodite Empire
Advisor suggests against the idea
The emperor told his advisor about the idea of destroying the Terei kingdom. His advisor began to revise the statistics and stuff of the empire and he decided against it.
"मेरे प्रभु, आप एक अच्छे कारण के साथ बहुत महत्वाकांक्षी हैं, लेकिन हम अभी हमलावर जोखिम नहीं करना चाहिए. कारण है कि हम पहले से ही किनारे के प्रान्त पर कुछ विद्रोहों को तोड़ने के अलावा और हम वहाँ से हमला करते हैं, लोगों को यह विद्रोही और आक्रमण उलटा भी पड़ जाएगा करने के लिए एक महान समय मिल जाएगा था साम्राज्य थोड़ा अस्थिर है. Teneir राज्य सैन्य अर्थों में हमें की तुलना में मजबूत है कि उल्लेख करने के लिए और हम पर हमला करते हुए वे प्रांत से बाहर जीत सकता है. हम उन्हें हड़ताल से पहले अंत में, हम शायद थोड़ा इंतजार करना चाहिए."
The emperor then decided to wait before striking the Teneir and he's already planning to swiftly crush the rebels in the province. He has a small army that is led by his uncle, Dereilo, but that won't be enough to destroy the rebels.
Heserite Kingdom
The Hesereite kingdom is at the northren river and slightly crosses the mesopotamia, where it has it's capital called Neburei. At the south it's bordered by the Oodite Empire, at the east to the Ejerein city-states and to the north the Baarik tribal confederacy.
Expansion of the mines
The governor of the province of Aderine, Verejened, decided to expand the mines that supply the kingdom with resources. This is because the kingdom is starting to get without precious minerals and the king is increasing the demand of the precious minerals.
The scouts found the land strange, the entire ground was covered in an algae like plant (grass), the landscape itself was rather bleak and open despite the land going up and down. The only strange things were the other wildlife, which were covered in fibers(mammals, likely a rabbit creature). The hunters killed one of the creatures to find them small but tasty, much dryer, but juicier than fish. There were also the algae-coral (trees) that kept together in a small reef. Near this reef was moving water, or so they thought, the water felt funky and flat, and certainly wasnt breathable, It did however lead into the Ocean where they had come from. They noticed the small amount of smaller fish. They tried one and was much different from ocean fish.

March 14th, 02 A.D.
Work in the chamber has finished enough for a multitude of Zuntals to move in, and the start of a Liskot (Stone) wall has begun. The wall will be quicker built, as the Zuntals are good at building.
Also, a zuntal was messing around with wood when he discovered if he made something that resembled a fishing rod, added rope to the end and tied a rock to it, it would be able to carry it. this machine might be used.
After 20 days of siege and 20 days of fighting in the city, the regime of the Khenir Empire has fallen! After a lot of fighting, looting and killing, the Empire is dead! The peasants are free of their former tributes! However, the royal family's whereabouts are unknown.
First, the peasants took over the walls, where the few militia were defeated. Then, they began to meet resistance from the main army whom tried to hold them off. Even though the militia defeated them, it could be said that for every militar that they killed, 4 peasants lost their lifes, but that didn't matter for the peasants as they were fighting for their country. Near the center however, they met the most resistance and it was really hard. The soldiers barricaded the city and it went more or less like on Stalingrad/Berlin, where the peasants had to enter house by house to kill the nobles and/or militars. When they were in, they were often ambushed from archers on the outside, whom shot the windows and the peasants inside or they were burnt from downstairs by the nobles, killing their mates inside. If one were to stand in one of the few roofs remaining after the battle, they would see many medium-sized houses and public buildings of 2 floors high burnt to the ground. Out of all these buildings, the palace suffered the most and there was a lot of fighting and even a look-alike emperor, whom looked nothing like the original and was killed. When the peasantsreached the shores, only one ship was seen and the other ships left to new shores, and they had much of the luxuries from the collapsing empire. Some will follow their highness. Others will get lost in the unknown.
The remaining gold and other riches were mostly thrown to the sea and the rest was given to the generals and the new king, Herodotusakos, whom promised to never mistreat his mates. However, his reign looks gloomy as the gold is needed to restore the new nation from the civil war, and the looting of temples also created much hatrend for the new king.
Oodite Empire
The first movements towards the restoration
The newly-crowned emperor ordered a revision of the houses of each of the people, specially of the exclave. Guards all over the country are going to revise and get into people's houses so that they know what they are their excact plans. The king is also ordering to strengthen the garrisons in said province, but the reactions are possibily not going to be very high.
2 Years have passed since the day the Shullets first stepped on land, they learned that they could only stay on the land for ten days at a time. Today we observe an instace between a defender shullet and local wildlife. The defender shullet patrols as normal and as he passes by a forest, he feels a very subtle presence of another hive. In reaction, he left his patrol to investigate. He wanders in and sees nothing, it is very subtle, but it is centralized around a point. He then realizes a tree is giving off the signal. Curious, he jabs the tree with his leg and it gets stuck, but from above, something hits him on the shell. Suddenly he is attacked by a swarm of insects, he lets out a distress cry as his leg is stuck in the tree, a nearby messenger runs toward the source of the cry and notices the trapped defender and his attacker. The messenger flees to the colony screeching that they were under attack, the off-duty defender shullets respond and follow the messenger, they are suprised to see only their fellow shullet, but they do see his distress and begin to be attacked by the tiny foes. Despite their attempts to conter attack, the insects were too small, they change their attention from defense to helping their fellow shullet. Using teamwork, they pry their fellow shullet loose. He had lost consciousness and dragged him along, but even as they were retreating, they were still being attacked. Then one of the defenders tracked the source of the signal to be inside the paper ball impaled upon the fallen shullet's shell, he tried to tear it off, but it was too sticky. They decided to take a risk and bring him underwater, as they learned, land dwellers are not suited to live in the water. When they finally brought the fallen one underwater, the attacks stopped, but they all felt pain as they left behind their stingers into their exposed eyes. They all huddled around the queen, and despite their retreat, they had won, the signal from within the nest had ceased. The nest was collected, within contained a sugary resin sweet to the taste, the insides of the best were fed to the queen. The caretakers immediately began to tend to the wounded, but the first victim had been left blinded. If he could not see, he cannot be shullet. His connection was severed and he was thrown into the Abyss, left to die.

For days, others for months, their vessels, filled materials including flesh supplies and building materials, travelled across the great sea. The first nobles to arrive simply crossed the other side of the sea, ready to start a new life. One of them has a size of about 240 (each ship carries about 30 people) people, but doesn't host the emperor there. He is travelling afar from the people, fearing that the peasants might take over a few ships (if any) left on the docks and chase them.
Oodite Empire
The resistance
The houses of the Oodite Empire exclave were revised, one by one. Although some rebels had been publicly executed, others resisted. They heard from their fellows that the guards were revising their houses and they armed themselves. When the guards came to the armed people's houses they were ambushed and once inside they were slaughtered. That way, many streets became void of guards. This is specially true at the capital, Ehereden, whose revisors were killed. It is only a matter of time when they'll rise up in arms.

Clan and Family Missing
Two months ago, the Ruling family gave their young, grown daughter to a male of the Green clan, a great honor for a clan. It occurred at an annual festival, where all three clans gathered to play games, tell stories, feast, exchange resources, and many other activities. The festival lasted three days and the clans separated again. However, by the end of this month, something isn't quite right. The Green clan hasn't been seen or heard from. Yes, the clans separate across miles, but usually signs of every clan's existence can be seen in the land as they travel and cross paths. The ruling family has temporarily separated from the clan they have been traveling with the past few years, the White Clan, to go find the Green clan. The ruling family hasn't noticed that the Blue and White clan are not showing any concern for the Green clan...
For now, the settlements are pretty basic. Just a few wooden huts held together by bones. However, this is a living inferno for the nobility, whom were accustomed to the luxurious life on their large marble houses with a lot of gold and other riches. At first there was an united governance for the nobles when they were afloat. Now the most powerful men of the settlement are the ones the former nobles obey due to the distance between the settlements that make it impossible the governance of them all. Some settlements were disbanded by the most rebellious nobles or the mediocre strongmen and turned into nomadic tribes, but many more still obey the sedentarian way of life. They began to look for seeds at the nearby lakes to start a whole new life.
New settlement?
The emperor and the few that followed him went deep into the waters. Although there were plenty of fish, it was hard to catch. By now, the supplies on the ships would just be able to give food for a week or so and they haven't seen lands in a long time (during the previous months they sometimes catched a little bit of food but then they returned due to the fact that it was still the continent and they explored small parts of it during the Empire). However, they have suddenly hit land. The rowers believed that they didn't drift away during the whole travel and that it must be impossible for anyone to find sudden land without previous signs of it. They began to sail around the land.
The Ruling Family
Some signs of the missing Green clan have shown up, but the clan itself has not been found. The tracks indicate that the Green clan are heading south-east of the plains. The ruling family has been doing okay in their travel so far with their copious quantity of food and finding things to eat on the way such as lizards. As far as edible fruit and other plants go, plants are withering under the cold weather. Blue and White Clans
The Blue and White clan are traveling as they usually do on the Drakan's ancestral land. They know what the Green clan wants to do and desires for the ruling family to find out for themselves. The idea the Green clan has, has been discussed privately since the beginning of the last festival. In no way are the Green, White, or Blue clans rebelling, though an observer may assume that. It's something else entirely.
After navigating around the island, it has been confirmed what it has been suspected to be, an island! However, there is not enough food on it to everyone on the tripulations to survive in one island, so they are going away to other places close enough to the "imperial island". The emperor and the royal family landed on it, and sang songs of worshipping to the gods, thanking them for the island they have been brought to. They are going to settle it, along with the rowmen. At least if any plants are found to make agriculture from.
Found
Finally, the Ruling Family sees Drakans in the distance, probably the Green clan! Indeed it is, for the missing clan and daughter greet the Ruling family. In strange yet smooth language unique to Drakans, the leader demands why the clan left farther from the other clans than usual and why they came here. The daughter of the ruling family itself explains, saying the clan wanted to attempt living by the river in stead of constant travel.
The Dominant male of the ruling family is upset by this. It is tradition for Drakans to travel. Old tales handed down talk of the dangers of staying in one place for too long -- destroyed land, starvation from food scarcity, or getting caught by roaming evil spirits or demons. However, with the low population of the overall Drakan population (due to over a decade and a half ago war), he doesn't want to cause rebellion. Memories of the war are still too recent for the ruling family to attempt enforcing tradition of this kind without an angry backfire.
Now that the Green clan is found and the situation explained, the Ruling family decides to temporarily stay with the Green clan until they are well rested from their rushed journey.
((what continent are you on?)) There is now 100 soldiers with Kop swords and Kop shields, helmets made of Corf (Leather), Corf chestpieces, and kop knee plates, accompanied by corf pants.
They rush into the mines, miners trailing behind to find other ores, and the soldiers take out most of the monsters inside, and come upon a naturally made center platform above some magma, with a walkway into 3 cave areas.

The civilization is no longer a dynasty. It is now a colony of 40 people, traveling across the cold desert to get to the jungle.

The first nobles set land
For days, others for months, their vessels, filled materials including flesh supplies and building materials, travelled across the great sea. The first nobles to arrive simply crossed the other side of the sea, ready to start a new life. One of them has a size of about 240 (each ship carries about 30 people) people, but doesn't host the emperor there. He is travelling afar from the people, fearing that the peasants might take over a few ships (if any) left on the docks and chase them.
Oodite Empire
The resistance
The houses of the Oodite Empire exclave were revised, one by one. Although some rebels had been publicly executed, others resisted. They heard from their fellows that the guards were revising their houses and they armed themselves. When the guards came to the armed people's houses they were ambushed and once inside they were slaughtered. That way, many streets became void of guards. This is specially true at the capital, Ehereden, whose revisors were killed. It is only a matter of time when they'll rise up in arms.
Population: 45 [34 Adults, 11 Children]
Food: Medium
Water: Frozen
Health: New diseases
Military: Very Weak
Mood: On Guard
Current leadership: 5 Veteran Warriors or "Shactezeth"
Worded General Report:
Just as the ices thawed out, the settlers arrived at the edge of the jungle (Region 4, Continent A). Many Azx didn't survive the voyage, but new members to the clan were born. The leaders of what is now known as the "Shactdel Clan" are the former warriors, with a communist rule where all resources are shared.
Progress on the village has started well, with everybody helping. While half of the population is dedicated to hunting, the other half is dedicated to building, crafting and taking care of the diseased.
Objectives:
Set up village: 25%
Gather enough food: 33%
Finished Objectives:
Reach the jungle
Technology:
Advancements:
Better hunting techniques are created for the different fauna here. Construction also improves by now using wood and stone, since they are more abundant in the region.

Clan and Family Missing
Two months ago, the Ruling family gave their young, grown daughter to a male of the Green clan, a great honor for a clan. It occurred at an annual festival, where all three clans gathered to play games, tell stories, feast, exchange resources, and many other activities. The festival lasted three days and the clans separated again. However, by the end of this month, something isn't quite right. The Green clan hasn't been seen or heard from. Yes, the clans separate across miles, but usually signs of every clan's existence can be seen in the land as they travel and cross paths. The ruling family has temporarily separated from the clan they have been traveling with the past few years, the White Clan, to go find the Green clan. The ruling family hasn't noticed that the Blue and White clan are not showing any concern for the Green clan...

Building the settlements
For now, the settlements are pretty basic. Just a few wooden huts held together by bones. However, this is a living inferno for the nobility, whom were accustomed to the luxurious life on their large marble houses with a lot of gold and other riches. At first there was an united governance for the nobles when they were afloat. Now the most powerful men of the settlement are the ones the former nobles obey due to the distance between the settlements that make it impossible the governance of them all. Some settlements were disbanded by the most rebellious nobles or the mediocre strongmen and turned into nomadic tribes, but many more still obey the sedentarian way of life. They began to look for seeds at the nearby lakes to start a whole new life.
New settlement?
The emperor and the few that followed him went deep into the waters. Although there were plenty of fish, it was hard to catch. By now, the supplies on the ships would just be able to give food for a week or so and they haven't seen lands in a long time (during the previous months they sometimes catched a little bit of food but then they returned due to the fact that it was still the continent and they explored small parts of it during the Empire). However, they have suddenly hit land. The rowers believed that they didn't drift away during the whole travel and that it must be impossible for anyone to find sudden land without previous signs of it. They began to sail around the land.
The Ruling Family
Some signs of the missing Green clan have shown up, but the clan itself has not been found. The tracks indicate that the Green clan are heading south-east of the plains. The ruling family has been doing okay in their travel so far with their copious quantity of food and finding things to eat on the way such as lizards. As far as edible fruit and other plants go, plants are withering under the cold weather.
Blue and White Clans
The Blue and White clan are traveling as they usually do on the Drakan's ancestral land. They know what the Green clan wants to do and desires for the ruling family to find out for themselves. The idea the Green clan has, has been discussed privately since the beginning of the last festival. In no way are the Green, White, or Blue clans rebelling, though an observer may assume that. It's something else entirely.
October 20 - 2 A.D
Khenir Empire
New settlement!
After navigating around the island, it has been confirmed what it has been suspected to be, an island! However, there is not enough food on it to everyone on the tripulations to survive in one island, so they are going away to other places close enough to the "imperial island". The emperor and the royal family landed on it, and sang songs of worshipping to the gods, thanking them for the island they have been brought to. They are going to settle it, along with the rowmen. At least if any plants are found to make agriculture from.
Found
Finally, the Ruling Family sees Drakans in the distance, probably the Green clan! Indeed it is, for the missing clan and daughter greet the Ruling family. In strange yet smooth language unique to Drakans, the leader demands why the clan left farther from the other clans than usual and why they came here. The daughter of the ruling family itself explains, saying the clan wanted to attempt living by the river in stead of constant travel.
The Dominant male of the ruling family is upset by this. It is tradition for Drakans to travel. Old tales handed down talk of the dangers of staying in one place for too long -- destroyed land, starvation from food scarcity, or getting caught by roaming evil spirits or demons. However, with the low population of the overall Drakan population (due to over a decade and a half ago war), he doesn't want to cause rebellion. Memories of the war are still too recent for the ruling family to attempt enforcing tradition of this kind without an angry backfire.
Now that the Green clan is found and the situation explained, the Ruling family decides to temporarily stay with the Green clan until they are well rested from their rushed journey.
