[Good point, I may as well post up my armies equipment and regimental systems. I'll do that soon..]

The merge would give us both the same degree of dominance, Delran: Each having one half of the empire. No need for a central governing body with only two members yet.

[So, Verthias, you say that it would be like the Roman Empire sistem forged by Diocletianus? Like 2 Augustus and 2 Caesar to take care of the empire?]

*Delran send a message to Verthias saying that he will think about his proposal.*

Wait, what? How did we lose so many forces and how many did we actually lose and WHY?

{During the Chaotic invasion you stood alone and lost a great deal of men.}

Erunion sent out two messages;

To Verthias.
"Having seen the unique skills and talents of you and your men during the late wars, I hope to forge an alliance between our nations. Being on opposite sides of the continent, the trade between us would be great as our goods flowed between the two widely different sectors. Also, we could use the inland bay as a point of trade and a highway."

To Topal;
"I hope that our two empires can come to work together and not succumb to a war that would break the backs of both of our nations. Let us rather join together in an alliance."

[Chaotic forces invade the Mightarian Empire, without the support of his allies, Might's cities begin to fall. The 100,000 man army falls to the stronger mutant enemies, leaving a crippled army of 5,000 on the retreat after killing 50,000 of the mutants.

This was posted by Septim last week I believe.

Also, as I said it to you, you haven't founded a military training facility in your empire. I saw that only me, Erabor, Topal and Erunion have Military training facilities. Again, your soldiers look like a bunch of peasants with no training. Sry for this, but this is what someone thinks if he reviews your posts and those related to you.]

[By the way, I never actually did invade Serpentia.. the attack was called off when I didn't get authorisation. We passed it all off as a military exercise. With our entire army]

Verthias replies to both Erunion and Might that he would be pleased to enter into a military alliance, for the betterment of all of their nations.

He then decides that his armies could use improvement in their training protocols, and makes connections to a pair of ancient, vast military academies through the Gate in the heart of his stronghold - one on Ignatius Cardinal, and the other on a higher energy plane known as Gantrithor. Both the common soldiers and the officers of his provincial forces were taught in these fine old institutions, and became even more able soldiers than before.

[You know, I think we should really have Septim giving advantages like that. Otherwise we can all say that we've found a vast mithril mine and are now in possession of a huge quantity of one of the rarest metals around..]

[Myself, I'd like a more numerical system. I mean, noone's explained yet where all the money for these developments of theirs came from, and why the previous rulers didn't do it if they had the resources the whole time]

(OOC: someone talked about me!, and i did say that i was training my troops and had set up training academy so my troops are not untrained)

Zyrike sees over his orb the messengers and petty squablings the other rulers are having and is wondering why everyone is not sending anything to him...

Major Validus Nuntius creates a rebellion, he has his men and thousands of civillians join. He soon starts a revolt, using the bad conditions to his advantage as he turns the civillians of Erabor against Pelagius. Upon doing that he launches a revolt.

Validus leads the revolt personally, slaying many with his steel blade, upon reaching the palace Pelagius Septim steps out, wearing mithril armor and holding a mithril longsword. He runs forth, but his massive stomach slows him down and he falls down the main steps. Validus steps forth and decapitates him, the remaining guards and enemy soldiers surrender, Validus is proclaimed Emperor Validus Nuntius, but in that moment, a flash of light appears. Septim stands in front of Validus.

"Validus, I must tell you something...you are my son...", says Septim, "And the rightful heir to the Eraborian Throne", says Septim.

"Who the hell are you?", asks Validus.

"I am Cephorus Septim IV, first Emperor of the Eraborian Empire", says Septim.

"That explains a lot...", says Validus.

Septim sighs, "That it does..."

Septim disappears, and Validus turns to the crowd.

"In that case, I shall now be known as Emperor Validus Septim I!!!", says Validus.

Peasants flock back to Erabor from the other Empires as word spreads of a benevolent leader.

***

The Xerillian Grand Navy of 50,000 ships and 20,000 airships arrive and destroys however much of Might's fleet it can before Might retreats. The trolls are quickly subdued, and Xerillia proclaims the province Trollellis.

[[OOC: The largest in Erus, but Xerillia is a continent much larger than all of Erus, and it is entirely united. They have the best mages, archers, and warriors in the entire world! And they also have Eraborian airship designs...look at the map and you will see that they are about three times larger than all of Erus. Only when one Empire is untited again will their conquest be possible...]]

Emperor Validus Nuntius sends a peace treaty and trade agreement to all of the Erusian Empires, Drakonia, Serpentia, Tigaria, and the Monkey Isles. All of the of the Empires of the other continents accept except for Tigaria.

Emperor Jonas Topal does the same, and the same happens.

Erunion starts using his considerable leverage with the Tigarians to gain a very lucrative agreement. The Tigarians now levy a huge tax on any non Naergothrendarin approved trades, making Naergothrendar the only effectual importer (and exporter) of Tigarian goods.

{Hope you don't mind Septim, I kinda like the Tigarians, and they kinda like me... I nearly died unifying their people. Several times...}

Validus proves to be an economic and military genius. Erabor regains the respect it once had, and builds it's army up to pre-chaotic heights. It's air force and navy grows stronger every day, and Validus becomes more loved by the people.

***

Xerillian forces totalling 1,500,000 land at Topalon, Zrykia, and Naergothrendarin (you have no idea how hard it is to figure out how to spell that...). They take the coast within a day with minimal losses and march inwards, destroying much of Topalon's, Zrykia's, and Naergothrendarin's cities. They loot what they find and flee to Xerillia. Topal calls a meeting between him, Erunion, and Zryike. He also invites Might, for his vendetta, and Validus Septim, for his growing army, which now totals 125,000 men.

"Let us not be rash, this will require extreme planning to launch a counter attack", says Topal, "Which will be between Erunion and I, we are ex-soldiers and I am extremely familiar with the landscape, I led a resistance there. Septim, Might, Zryike you gather your forces and prepare for battle, this will be a long, hard war", says Topal.

(OOC: my magi are the best!)

"Zyrike walks in and agrees with the battle plan and sends his troops to wherever the were meeting."

Current troops 100k, 200 airships 11k magi and 50 naval ships

So the Xerillians are invading us now, are they...

Verthias mused for a moment over what he should do, then settled on a course. He sent a runner off into the deepest, darkest depths of his fortress, and swept off his throne to order his armies mustered in support of the Eraborian host. The overwhelming majority moved to a rally point in the west of his province, setting up scout outposts along the coast to watch for further Xerillian invasions. The factories of the province were to be working overtime to improve and bulk up his airfleet. Verthias ordered that a plethora of new airship designs were to be made and implemented.

Firstly, the Carrier Battleship - a larger version of the already mighty large Dragonship class, able to carry two squadrons (24 craft) of small, single-manned vehicles, mounted for either reconnisance or air superiority - the former with advanced magical detection and amplification gear, as well as with the finest optics that facilities could provide, the latter, with repeating repulsion fields, firing bolts with several stages, capable of gutting enemy aircraft and sea vessels alike.

[Bleep Bleep Bleep boring technical details en route]

First, the bolt begins to spin as it leaves the firing medium, increasing  the  armour penetration capability of the already formidably sharp and impressively tough mithril-reinforced head. A minor dweomer detects when the projectile has penetrated through three feet of material, and the lethal oil of impact inside is forced to explode with a magical concussion - sending both wood and metal shrapnel flying throughout the inside of the vessel, and a fireball that would both gut and burn the ship.

The other vehicle which the airship can carry is a larger, four-manned one, of which only 10 can be carried; however, their ability to contain much greater quantities of explosive makes them perfect for dropping pre-made fireballs and explosive potions straight down, onto enemy positions with excellent accuracy.

In a manouvre reminiscent of his contribution to the origional liberation, he then laid plans to despatch five groups of twenty of the Guard on a slow-burn operation to Xerillia. Their task: To assassinate military and political leaders, destroy factories and military bases, pick off as many individual soldiers as they could, and generally raise merry hell amongst the Xerillian ranks.

As the province's army poured out of the fortress, Verthias could distantly hear the click and grinding of vast machineries, far beneath the surface, in caverns that had never seen the light of day. With a smile, he continued his ride at the head of the army.

[Army: 10,000 of the Guard, 100,000 veteran and standard troops, 25,000 green troops, relegated to defensive duties. 350 airships, 4,000 mages, 40 seaships, 2 submersibles. And more powerful than all that, himself]

(OOC: no Erunion you have a lot less then that)

{Zryike, my armies about the same as Verthias's...
100k veteran troops, 5k of the 10th legion (my best, includes the 501st) 45k well-trained but untested troops (green...) in defensive positions, and a huge army of slightly trained and equipped militia who only fight to defend their cities.}

[Errunion, how do you have 100k troops? They just wiped you out.]

{They sent raiding parties, burning a few cities and plundering some ports...
They only fought the local militia except in a few places where I attacked and ambushed. (The local militia being every able bodied man woman or child...)}

Validus Septim rode out on his horse, Silvermane, with his family sword, Firengard, by his side. He looks up to the heavens.

"Father, keep me alive...", he says with a smile. He rides at the head of his troops.

[[50,000 footmen armed with steel longswords and armored with steel half-plate armor, 30,000 archers armed with longbows and armored with leather and steel chainmail, 10,000 mages armed with staffs and armored with only their robes and maybe some pauldrons, 1,000 elite guards armed with hardened steel longswords and mithril daggers and armored with a special type of armor that provides great protection without limiting movement (when I say elite, I mean elite, each one can take on ten guys at once with only his blade, and twenty more with their magic), 19,000 horsemen armed with spears and lances and armored with steel platemail, 10,000 pikemen armed with long pikes and armored with steel platemail designed to protect against spears and lances, 75 warships, 250 troop transports that can carry up to 500 troops each, 400 fighter airships, 50 large airships, one capital class airship.]]

[[OOC: Verthias, those troops total too many, you may only have up to 125,000 troops...]]

*Might over-looks whats left of his army.*

[70000 Total left. All are veterans and know the ways of war. 10000 Veteran Pikemen, 10000 veteran magicians, 2000 Elite Veteran Guard, 1000 Elite Palace guard,  15000 Veteran Archers, 2000 Veteran Officers, 20000 Veteran Swordsmen, and 10000 Veteran Halbeirders. 200 Veteran Troop Transports, 350 Veteran Dragonship fighters, 45 Large Dragonships, and 2 Class A Capital Ships.]

P.S. Class A Capital Ships are my home brew that are a bit better than the normal ones.

Zyrike looks over his army and is proud.

50k rookies, 50k vets, 25k elite, 5k vet magi, 5k rookie magi, 3k elite magi.

200 light airships, 100 heavy and 2 command class airships. 200 troop transports

Edit: 100 elite commandos with mithril armor and weapons, 1 elite commando with (still cant spell it) armor and weapons

Zyrike stands upon his flag ship the Destroyer. while watching his troops sail beneath him

*Delran send a messenger to Verthias.*

"Verthias I agree with your proposal. I order to survive in this harsh world, I believe that we must unite our empires."

[I am temporarily leaving this RP game. In my absence, Verthias will act as Emperor Of Khorelia. All my troops will recognize him. Verthias you command 100k khorelian soldiers, 25k SOTU, over 13k battle mages, 100 frigates, 50 destroyers, 25 battleships, 5 capital ships, 500 light dragon ships and 300 heavy dragonships.]

(OOC: you have way to many airships to. will all started out with the same number and you have the same number of everything except for airships cause thats way to many.)
