| 19:21:48 Mar 10th 10 - Sir Erunion Telcontar: {Missed yesterday, double post} Name: Sir Jarnas Insurgo Home: Peninsular Barracks Family: Wife: Lady Helena, age 24, skills Veteran Reading {Should I list her skills?} Skills Veteran Fighting; Expert 6/8 Master Tactics Veteran Reading Items Book: The Techniques of General Vordomor Legates Armour and weapons. ----------------------- Jarnas learned as much as he could from The Techniques of General Vordomor. While doing this, he discovered in himself a love for reading, so when he had the chance he took his six-months of leave, spent 3000 gold and learned veteran reading from the Academy.Jarnas had a wonderful time learning. He caught on quickly, and payed a great deal of attention in class. At least for the first month, any how. He found one of his classmates, the Lady Helena Quintius, to be singularly fascinating. At first he studied all the harder to impress her, for she was top of the class. By the second month he had started courting her in earnest, spending time with her, walking with her and discussing many matters with her. By the sixth month, Jarnas asked Lord Quintius if he could have her daughters hand in marriage. He was hesitant because of Jarnas' past, but quickly saw the bright future ahead of the man. When Lord Quintius found out from a friend that Jarnas was due for a promotion to General on his return from leave, Quintius gave Jarnas his permission. The next day Jarnas proposed to Helena, and they were married soon after. When Jarnas returned to barracks, he found his quarters all packed up by his servant and someone else moving in. This was quite the shock. Jarnas rushed to his general's office to find out what this was all about. When he entered, he found his general smiling benignly and packing his things. "Sir, what is going on? Why has someone moved into my office?" "I'm retiring." "Good for you sir, this still does not answer my question." "Are you sure? I would say it does, General Insurgo." Jarnas managed to stutter a bit, as his general burst out laughing. The reins of command moved over swiftly, and Jarnas found himself with a wife, and in charge of the IV, VII and XV legions. The entire Peninsular force was his to command. | ||||

XD Making my post for tomorrow, as I am unsure how active I will be. ]] Now that Gaius was a General, and his future was secure, he finally managed to work up the courage to ask Althea's hand in marriage. She grew excited when he asked, and a night of passion followed. Two weeks later, the marriage took place. Gaius had no true friends, as almost everybody he knew had died in the war. To Gaius's shock, however, the Emperor himself offered to be his vassal's best man. Gaius accepted his offer, and the Emperor, in his purple robes, stood by him during the wedding. Many other military officers and nobles attended, and it turned out to be a grand ceremony. Gaius Cidellus, now a married man, left with his legions two days after the marriage in Seris. However, he soon found out that his wife was pregnant. Gaius couldn't believe it...he was going to be a father! Name: Sir Gaius Cidellus | ||||

For six long months, he spent almost all of his time there, coming out only when his son, Marcus, was born. After six months, he finished his studies, and became known as a true tactical master. Few doubted that Jonny actually knew what he was talking about. All were happy to see him succeed., and a great banquet, the second in two months, (the first being for the birth of young marcus) was held. All were invited. At the banquet, it was announced that Jonny was to be made a general, and at this news, all were incredibly elated to have been present. Jonny took it with almost stoic emotions, only later, after most of the guests had gone, did he let his feelings out. He leapt for joy. | ||||
| 18:51:13 Mar 11th 10 - Mr. Sekasi The Sly: Post Description Despite the commander's reservations, Doran did well during his training. His years of wandering and living outdoors had made him tougher than many of the other recruits who had lived in the city their whole lives. Despite this, Doran often had trouble with the large numbers of people and with the strict discipline the army required of him. He quickly became a loner, never talking any more than the situation required. Therefore, even though he was respected, he made few friends. | ||||

Reading for Veterans ----------------------- Sir Jarnas was quite happy with his life. He was married to a beautiful, charming woman, had a baby on the way and was in an excellent position in the military. Not at all what he'd expected his life to be some years ago. He had been a rebel, now he was one of the most important men in the Imperial military, with three legions to his name. Jarans, dedicated as always to improving himself, purchased another book, "Reading for Veterans" which he began to read and study with his wife. Jarnas also started looking around for a couple of good horses for him and his wife. It would be fun, and the horses would be useful. Further, he could stable them at the barracks, and use his should he ever go to war again. {Hint Hint. Gonna add horses soon Septim? :D} | ||||

He was no longer the man who had colapsed after he came back to his farm to find a pile of smouldering ruins and everyone gone.That man was gone. In his place was a new man. A stronger man, dedicated to making sure that no one else has to suffer that same fate. It was with this thought in mind that Doran put his name to the paper and signed on for a stint in the Legionaires. He was now a force of justice in the empire, and he would do whatever it took to preserve that justice. His own life, his own honor, were secondary priorities. | ||||

It took Gaius three more months to put an end to the uprisings in Tibenos. Once they were put down, Gaius was able to return to his headquarters at Fort Marcus, a large fort twenty miles from Seris that acted as his headquarters and home. His wife was waiting in the courtyard, she held a beautiful baby boy with a full head of brown hair. He had Gaius's eyes. Name: Sir Gaius Cidellus | ||||

As for horse feeding, I forgot about it. 50 gold a day to feed them, and 200 gold a day for stabling and keeping them healthy. Also, your children and wife cannot work while living with you. If your children are grown up and living alone, they can get a job, but you don't receive any of their money. I don't want people farming children to get higher incomes. >>]]

He had finished his legionaire training 6 months ago and kept his skills sharp by sparring with other legionaires. Many of the other legionaires talked eagerly about wars in the future, but Doran didn't share their outlook. He had seen the horrors of war first hand. He settled back in his bunk trying to sleep, blocking out their conversations. | ||||

[[OOC: That is a Legionnaire's pay, Sekasi. Change it. =D]] Gaius had hit thirty, and a little bundle of joy named Quintus had been born. He had his father's eyes, and his mother's dirty blond hair. Cidellus's legions were well trained, well supplied, and fit for any battle that would come his way. The total number of troops currently in the Serillian Army was at around 126,000, far more than double what it had been when the Serillian Civil War had started, and Gaius commanded 18,000 of those men. That was 1/7 of the Serillian Army. In twelve very long years of hard work he had gone from a peasant to a nobleman leading 1/7 of the Serillian Army. The world never ceased to amaze him.

| 05:37:44 Mar 15th 10 - Lord Himanil X: Tiberius commanded 18,000 war hungry men with veteran senior officers having experience levels that would've left the legendary emperor Marcus IV with a gaping mouth. However he alone didn't boast such troops, most of the duchies had such a combination by now. Fresh and youthful troops mass drafted with some classic combat experience that a fool would call glorious and aged and wise officers who over the course of the civil war had come to grasp almost all aspects of warfare. Tiberius drew upon his personal experience as a young legionnaire and ordered his legates to literally set fire on the arses of the young centuries. He'd have them drill and train so rigorously that it did not become uncommon for legionnaires to drop asleep right where they stood even if it was for a couple of minutes. Resultantly his legionnaires came to be called Tiberius's mules. Too busy to mind such nicknames Tiberius went about trying to reform the legionnaire organization and logistics structure right from the top. However he didn't have much luck as the new emperor was unwilling to spend any further amounts after the royal trasuries had been so badly drained. However Tiberius did hear that there were other Generals trying to do the same thing and he had even attempted to contact them. Many a life could've been saved if some few radical yet simply changes had been implemented during the war. Tiberius had found a beautiful woman named Arwen, hailing from a family of extremely rich landowners. She had born him 2 sons, Adam and Lucius. Of the two one Tiberius intended to carry out his legacy in the armed Serillian forces. Of the more artistic one though he would have pursue other careers. Tiberius had gained great influence throughout the war and word was abound that all of the knighted soldiers who had managed to reach the rank of generals might soon have the exalted power to command a city. Tiberius wasn't much bothered by these rumours as he was content enough to serve his Duke. Or so he thought.

| 05:57:33 Mar 15th 10 - Mr. Sekasi The Sly: [OOC: Sorry. I meant to add that to my gold instead of my pay. Thanks]] Post Description One day on his daily walks around the city, Doran noticed a woman named Galena, who he thought must be the most beautiful woman in the world. She was selling fruits in the market and he stopped to talk to her. He was enchanted. He made it a point to walk down that road every day and they soon became friends. He wanted to ask for her hand, but what could he offer her? He was just a legionaire with nothing more to his name than a crumbling shack and some gold. | ||||
16:40:44 Mar 15th 10 - Emperor Gaius Septimus Cidellus:
[[OOC: Alright, so lets say you got Master tactics on the eleventh (you had 8,610 gold at the end of the tenth, but you could not use it until the eleventh). You would not be a General until the twelfth, as you do not get promoted until the day AFTER the course. 610+1000 (11th)+2000 (12th)+2000 (13th)+2000 (14th)+2000 (15th)=9,610 gold. Lets say you did use a book. You would've purchased it on the ninth, and lets say you used your free journeyman course on reading. That takes four days of reading. So 6,610-4,800 (book)=1,810. You would not have been a General until the fourteenth (as you cannot use master tactics until the turn after you acquire it). That means that you have 1,810 gold+4000+4000 for today and yesterday. That means you would have 9,810 gold. Can you explain how you have 16,610 gold and master tactics? I can't find where you get your figures from. :| And Tiberius's mules? Really? *cough* Gaius Marius *cough* And artistic one? You can tell that at six months? What is he doing, crying out songs? XD And nobody is saying what the reforms are that they are suggesting. XD]] General Gaius Cidellus had forged a good friendship with the Emperor, and the fact that he had been Gaius's best man had helped greatly. He and his wife were often invited to royal dinners, along with Lords, Dukes, and other Generals. He had a full year of leave set up still, and decided to use one to take a course in oration at the academy, regarding the ability to write and deliver speeches as important for any nobleman or general.

He controlled 18,000 soldiers who were drilled constantly, with the focus being on mock battles to prepare them for the real thing. His officers in particular were superb, something Jarnas prided himself upon. He had another beautiful child, this one a daughter, Aurora. Jarnas and his wife had been invited to the royal palace, along with the other generals. It had been a splendid meal, and while awkward at first, Jarnas being a former rebel, those at the table had ready senses of humour and Jarnas quickly relaxed. He made many acquaintances, including the generals Gaius and Tiberius. Gaius had sat beside him throughout the meal and they'd had excellent conversations in tactics and soldiering. Jarnas quickly came to a decision, these men were to be respected. He was among greatness. | ||||

He purchased a small villa in Seris, as Seris was only a short ride away from Fort Marcus. It had two living rooms, a kitchen, a dining area, a small courtyard, a bathroom, and four bedrooms. Althea soon had another child, and it was, for the third time, a boy. Gaius and Althea decided on Severus, as he looked quite serious for a baby. Caius was now learning to talk, and could already say several words. His first word was "whatah", which Gaius soon corrected into "water". Gaius then realized that he only had eight more years of service to the legion, as he had become a legionnaire at nineteen-and-a-half.

On the front page, it read; "If in other sciences we can arrive at certainty without doubt, and truth without error, it behooves us to place the foundation of knowledge in Mathematics." He was hooked. He bought the book and brought it home to begin studying with Helena. A frequent distraction was their young son Telcaer, who had learned to walk, talk and run. A little bit of all three, preferably. Thankfully, he tired out quickly. Aurora was another matter. They had hoped that a daughter would be peaceful and sedate, but she was relentless. The doctors said she had the best pair of lungs they had ever seen. Jarnas agreed.
