18:22:15 Jun 10th 08 - Lord Erunion Telcontar:

"Sire, a petition from your officers."
"Send them in."
A small group of Naergothrendarin officers walk into the hall. They kneel, then rise with the most senior of them speaking.
"M'lord, tis' not fitting for us to have to travel to the Ducal capital to meet with our Tactician's guildmates. Could we not have another guildhouse here?"
"Certainly, it shall be as you request. Naergothrendar honours her brave officers."

And so, the Guild of Tacticians spreads yet another branch into the heart of Naergothrendar.


(Question, could I run two separate guild houses? IE: Could I be guildmaster of two different guilds? I was considering founding the Mathematicians guild soon...)

18:44:34 Jun 10th 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II:

[[OOC: Talked about this with Ernie in chat, you can only have one guild, but multiple Guild Halls.]]

Count Septim walks down to his throne room to find his four Lords waiting for him, they have breakfast together, Lord Helvon begins to act rather angry, and before the end of the meal he rises.

"I can't take it anymore! You are no noble! You are a petty peasant! You are not fit to rule an outhouse, let alone a city!"

"What makes you think that?", asks Septim.

"You were born a peasant, four years ago you were a petty scholar in Tysos! You were born a peasant, not into nobility!", he yelled.

"We can settle this, Helvon, in a duel if you would like", says Septim, "If you win, I die and you can have my title...this will be to the death..."

"That sounds good", said Helvon before walking off to the dueling room.

Septim enters the dueling room with a rapier, Helvon holds the same weapon. Septim stands in fencing form as Helvon attacks wildly, Septim parries and slashes at Helvon's chest, creating a large slash wound. Helvon looks down at it in shock before attacking, Septim easily parries again and slashes Helvon's arm. Helvon, angry, attacks wildly, Septim kicks Helvon in the chest and stabs him through the heart. Helvon falls to the floor, and Septim leaves the rapier in him.

"Now, if anybody else has any problems, feel free to resolve them in here", says Septim before walking off to his study, he writes a letter to the duke explaining Lord Helvon's death and asks to have another Lord come to replace Lord Helvon. Septim encloses the formal dueling agreement signed by Helvon before his death and sends it via courier. Septim then finishes going about his duties as Count before walking down to the Guild of Scholars. He does a short lecture, recieves his six thousand gold as Guildmaster, and walks down to the swimming hole where he swims for a short while, he then goes up to his room, reads, and goes to sleep.

04:39:47 Jun 11th 08 - Sir Ernie The Orange:

The Large Trading Barque was finished and delivered to the Tasidian port.  Ernie personally went out and inspected it before giving it it's first mission.  It set sail for the port town in Bertilius Septim's county and earned an amount totally 2000 gold.  Septim also made a profit of 2000 gold for the trade that commenced.  Count Ernie visited his Guild of Oration in Tasidian and gave a talk on finishing statements at diplomatic meetings.  He then went back to his work room at his castle and wrote a decree to the city.  All people would continue their training regimens as long as Tasidian was threatened.  Men would be trained in swordplay and archery and women would be trained in nursing and medicine.  While these were already started, an official decree had not been established.  He visited the old man and learned journeyman magic for a price of 7000 gold.  Ernie then stopped by the bookstore and bought Master Reading for Dummies for 4800 gold.  It was a long long day for Ernie....he went into his bedroom and dropped like a stone on his bed and was out cold.

Veteran Oration, Progress: 3 day out of 7]]

High General Falgrok stands at the front of the flagship Ufluk. An army the same size as the previous orc army in the many ships. They were Ogloks, not Grenroks. Ogloks were better trained, they kept their head and didn't bullrush the enemy. They also had better weapons, armor, and ships than last time, they were ready to conquer Seron.

***

They decide that Valkond would be heavily fortified after the previous invasion, so they begin an invasion of Tysolon. Their warriors begin advancing in a wave known as a Raklok, or the "Warrior Wave", taking town after town, but one county would not fall due to the efforts of one mage, Bertilius Septim.

***

Septim enchants each ballista missile to explode upon impact, blowing holes in many of the iron clad orc ships. The orcs can do nothing about the magical onslaught due to their lack of mages. Upon reaching the shore they begin rushing towards the city, but Septim and his army of six hundred hold them off. The orc army decides not to conquer Cidel until the end, when the might of their full army can be turned against them.

[[OOC: Same as last time, tell how you beat the orcs. All counts have a standing army of six hundred men by default as a standing army (no upkeep required). It actually totals one thousand, but one hundred are guarding each of the four Lord's cities.]]


18:31:30 Jun 11th 08 - Lord Erunion Telcontar:

The Orcish horde attacked the city of Naergothrendar, but a swarm of enchanted missiles tore their fleet apart as it approached.
(FYI: Missiles in the medieval sense means any ranged weapon, from a catapult stone to a slingshot rock, with ballista bolts and longbow arrows in-between...)
Angered, the horde disembarked three thousand soldiers on the coast to the north, then advanced on the city. The civilian population, heavily drilled in the use of the Longbow and all equipped with one, released hail upon hail of arrows.
As the orcish horde approached the city walls with ladders, explosive arrows, carefully aimed by the most elite of the soldiers, struck each one of them shattering them and sending splinters flying. As the orcish horde cam ever closer, with grappling hooks at the ready. The Naergothrendarin soldiery had yet another trick up their sleaves. They kept their javelins in firepits, so that the tips were white hot, then before they threw them they attacked small sheathes of oil. In mid-air, the javelin tips burst into flame, then struck the orcish hordes below, turning mighty warriors into flaming wrecks. At the same time, catapults from among the Naergothredndarin walls launched barrels. These barrels were attached to ropes, doused in oil, lit on fire, then luanched. As they reached the extent of the ropes length, the purpose-built barrels shattered sending their flaming contents scattering over a wide distance.
The devastated orcish horde could not stand the weight of fire and the toll of death. Demoralized and defeated, they routed before ever they reached the walls. As the fled, the Naergothrendarin cavalry were sent after them, cutting down and slaying every last one of the orcish horde.
Of the three thousand, only seventy-three ever made it back to the main body of the horde.

To celebrate the victory, Erunion commissioned a mighty Brig-Of-War to be built.

[[OOC: I know, I use the term "missile" quite a bit :-)]]


18:44:35 Jun 11th 08 - Lord Erunion Telcontar:

{I just didn't want you guys thinking I was using the modern type of missile... :P
BTW: We allowed to invent gunpowder? On a limited basis of course. I'm thinking 15th/16th century gunpowder weapons, the handheld variants of which were no better than a good longbow. It would however raise the level of naval combat by quite a bit, as well as being very useful for siege type situations, on both sides of the battle.}


18:49:55 Jun 11th 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II:

[[OOC: I really don't want this advancing that far, sorry. Looks like were stuck with catapults, ballistas, and flamethrowers for the ships...]]


18:57:49 Jun 11th 08 - Sir Ernie The Orange:

The weather could not have been any worse for the attack.  There was a terrible storm as the orcish fleet approached Tasidian.  The waves were crashing against the cliffs of the city.  The orcs stood upon the ships, covered in their thick metal armor.  The catapult crews, though trained in using heated shot, could not get the maximum effect due to the extremely heavy rain.  They fired nonetheless.  The metal armored ships of the orcs protected them against most of the projectiles, but still several ships were sank.  Thousands of orcs made it to land and formed ranks before marching towards the walls of the city.  Count Ernie himself stood upon the walls of Tasidian and watched as the Orc army come closer.  Their numbers covered the plains in darkness as lightning flashed overhead.  The Orcs marched to the beat of drums.  The light flashed off their terrible armor and they looked like demons from Hell.  Then Ernie prepared giving orders.  ARCHERS! NOTCH ARROWS!!!  600 men plus peasants all notched arrows.  They all aimed high and prepared. FIRE!!!!!!!! 

Everyone fired their arrows and it seemed to the orcs, as if a black cloud was suddenly filling the sky and coming for them.  The first wave caused massive casualties among them.  The second wave was blocked better but still causes heavy casualties.  The third wave caused minimal casualties and then the arrows stopped firing. 

The gates of Tasidian opened and Count Ernie and his troops marched forth in their steel armor.  They lined up and pulled out bows once again.  The orcs charged with spears in front, swords in the middle, and archers in the back.  Both sides fired arrows at the same time, but the orcs did not try to put up shields and many fell.  The Tasidian army fired their arrows, put up their shields, and forming a perfect defensive shape.  None were hurt.  Finally the defenders all drew their swords and spears.  The spearmen in front placed the butts of the spears into the ground and tilted them towards the charging Orcs.  The swordsmen prepared for the coming army. 

The orcs crashed into the army of Tasidian and immediately the first line of orcs were impales upon spears.  The spearmen drew longswords and the army of Tasidian charged into the orcish army.  It was a complete slaughter.  The army of Tasidian was well trained and they kept their formation instead of breaking loose and charging like mindless *beep*s.  They were expert tacticians and veteran warriors who fought hard and well.  There were few casualties on the side of Tasidian, but not one orc ever reached the main army to tell the story of how they fought against an army of inhuman warriors in shining white armor.

[Oh yeah did we get an PR point for the orc battle?]


07:17:06 Jun 12th 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II:

Septim wakes up, puts on his armor (he keeps it on at all times during wartime) and walks down to the throne room. He brings forth his military advisor, who tells him the best way to go is defense. Septim agrees, as his walls are thick, and his army is too small to wage war, he decides to leave the attacking to the Seronian Army. He recieves news that his traders had made 2000 gold with Count Ernie, and he decides to send a trade agreement to him. Afterwards he inspects his troops, he finds that they are all well trained (journeyman level) with bows, and well trained (veteran level) with swords. Septim finishes the inspection and visits the Guild of Scholars, where he gives his orders. Then, around seven, a large orc is brought into the city by four guards.

"This one was found scouting in the woods...", says Private Venos.

"Put him in the prison, interogate him, afterwards, see what weak spots their armor and skin has", says Septim.

"Yes sir", says Venos.

Septim decides not to swim at the pond, as it is outside the walls, and he doesn't feel like fighting his way out of an orc trap. Septim does his old workout routine instead. He practices his magic on a target. He then reads, has dinner, and goes to bed.

18:53:36 Jun 12th 08 - Lord Erunion Telcontar:

In the harbour, Erunion's Brig of War's construction is finished.
"I hereby christen this ship, Trendarat. May you be a sword in the hearts of our enemies!"
After the christening, Erunion returns to his castle.
"M'lord, the upgrades to the wall are finished."
"Excellent. Send the next one in."
Another soldier marches in, clearly an officer but from far away.
"Speak man, I will here ye."
"M'lord, I humbly request that you expand the guild of Tacticians to the capital of Seron. A place where we can gather and discuss tactics, away from the petty feuds of war would be greatly appreciated, especially with the added knowledge of yourself."
"Granted. Jertar, Helorat, go with this man and set up a suitable guildhouse in the Capital. I will send the funds when you arrive safely there.
The two bowed, each murmurin*beep*es m'lord.'

The herald came up the the dais again.
"M'lord, an envoy from the king."
"Send him in."
A suitably arrogant and pompous lordling walks into the main hall.
"Speak, I have no quarrel with the king my liege. Speak his will."
"The King sends his congratulations on your successful defense of the city, and requests that you immediately send your army, and what fleet you have to a meeting point here."
The man points to a place on the map, clearly circled and highlighted.
"As my liege wills, so I obey. My army will be there within a fortnight."

A general call goes throughout the town, ordering all militia to step up and train, for to them would be left the defense of the city.
The town garrison is also left, but the army of a thousand troops assembles before the town, then starts the long march...
At the same time, the newly manned and equipped Trendarat sails from the towns harbour, with Erunion, his military scientist and the only other mage in the whole county of Naergothrendar on board, all seeing as to how they could make it faster, stronger and improve the efficiency of the weapons.

08:56:13 Jun 13th 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II:

Septim wakes in the morning and puts on his armor. He walks down to the throne room to see that the war table is set up in front of his throne, with the four Lords (one of them a new face, Lord Ruvos, to replace Lord Helvon), Jorvolir (Septim's military advisor), and General Voryn Zeris of the Seronian Army sitting at it.

"Well, an impressive council, are the orcs attacking?" asks Septim.

"It appears so milord, the ships appeared on the horizon six hours ago, since them we have gotten General Zeris to come to our aid, the four Lords were already on their way here when it happened for a meeting that would have happened today", says Jorvolir.

"Hmmmm, alright", says Septim as he sits down upon his throne.

"Now the meeting can truely begin, based on their previous attacks, their main force will consist of three thousand troops, while the auxilary force will work as a diversion", says General Zeris.

"Where does their primary force usually attack?" asks Septim.

"They attack the weakest position", says Zeris.

"Get more archers on the rear wall, and use the paint method to tune the catipults", says Septim.

"Yes sir", says Jorvolir.

***

Septim approaches one of the larger catapults, where he can use his knowledge of mathematics to help adjust the catapults. The battle begins with the main orc force attacking where Septim had fortified, the orcs get pounded by catapults, the ballistas destroy a few ships as well. Eventually, the orcs reach the gate, but luckily Septim had prepared for a breach, one thousand of Zeris's troops accompanied by two hundred of Septim's guards waited for the orcs. Septim uses a rope to zip down into the battle, he begins by cutting an orc's throat. Two orcs attack him from two sides, Septim stabs one, but the other grabs Septim and throws him back five feet, Septim falls on his back. The orc walks forward, about to deliver a finishing move when General Voryn Zeris stabs a longsword through his back. The orc falls sideways and Septim gets up, he picks up his longsword and begins fighting by Zeris's side. Zeris, a master swordsman on par with Septim in terms of skill, delivers two slashes, followed by a stab, three orcs fall dead. Septim blocks a blow with his shield and stabs an orc, he then swings his blade around with the orc's body still on it, three blades enter the orc's body. Septim kicks the orc, and the body falls on the three orcs on the other side. Septim cuts the throats of all three with his longsword before smashing an enemy with his shield, he kicks the enemy down and stomps his face in before blocking an attack with his sword. He uses his shield again to knock the enemy down.

***Thirty minutes later***

After killing many orcs, using magic quite a few times as well, Septim walks up to his throne room exausted, he falls into his throne, and Zeris approaches with the four Lords (who had been in the castle during the fighting) and Jorvolir, who had been leading half of the Cidel guards. The six sit down as well.

"That was a win", says Septim, "But I doubt this will be a war without losses..."

After dinner, Septim goes up to his quarters and does his workout routine, he then has his armor repaired and cleaned. Afterwards he writes a letter to the Guild of Scholars asking for a new Guild Hall to be built in Seros before reading and going to bed.

Veteran Oration, Progress: 5 day out of 7]]


18:26:59 Jun 13th 08 - Lord Erunion Telcontar:

In the main Seronian camp, a thousand troops march in. Their discipline and skill clearly puts them well above par amongst the mongrel hordes of misfits. At the same time, a beautiful Brig sails into the makeshift harbour.
Erunion steps off of the Brig, and with his personal retinue marches to the command pavilion.
Inside, food is everywhere, the place has a smell of perfumes, with gilded tables covered with a banquet fit for a king, whilst servants dash back and forth amongst the general's lackeys. It seems that the Crown Prince has been given the command of this army.
Erunion approaches the gilded throne.,
"Your highness, as I was requested, so I have come. I stand ready for war."
"Welcome, friend. It is good to see an experienced soldier arrived. Go, set yourself up a tent. I will summon you to a command meeting in the morning."
"As you wish, so it shall be."
Bowing, Erunion backs up a few paces, then smartly turns his back and marches out.
Immediately, he sees to his men, setting them up a camp slightly out of the main body, knowing that if they mingled too much with the other soldiers, their discipline would be harmed, as there seemed to be a complete lack of order and functionality in the camp.
"Tolhas, Menhas, gather the best of our trackers. The ones who you know to be poachers and horsethieves, but can't prove anything on. Offer them triple pay to serve as scouts, and ask them to find others like them."
"Poachers m'lord? Why would we want theives?"
"A successful thief knows how to find things, and how to escape without being seen or caught."

18:53:16 Jun 13th 08 - Mr. Might The God of Cows:

[Erunion, you are starting to sound like Mat....in Wheel of Time. A book series. Sheesh.]


19:25:46 Jun 13th 08 - Lord Erunion Telcontar:

{Yes, well... I'm not. I did however steal his way of getting scouts. His was a good idea... :P
Good series, BTW. Very enjoyable.}


19:48:59 Jun 13th 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II:

Overlord Grashvak Gro-Orgok stands on the upper deck of his ship, the entire orc army and navy behind him. The Overlord is the leader of Orcs, the biggest of them, and the meanest.

"How long before we reach Ersos?" asks Gro-Orgok.

"We are almost there to support our worthless invasion force...", says the military commander, High General Hasphot Gro-Ulvok.

"Good...", says Gro-Orgok.

***

The massive orc army lands at the northern coast of Valkond, they are nearly limitless in number, destroying all fortifications on the coast and destroying all resistance. They meet up with the invasion force and destroy many armies before reaching the capital of Seron. Duke Hasillius, General Zeris, Count Septim, Count Telcontar, Count Ernie, and several others are waiting for them. The armies clash, with the orcs chewing through the humans, when suddenly, an army is seen in the distance.

"More orcs...great", says Septim.

"Not orcs...they have light skin...", says Zeris.

The army approaches on great white horses, the cavalry easily defeats the large orcs. The infantry soon arrives and battles the orcs, Zeris recognizes them as Elves, with their leader, King Silverscar, at the front. The Elves battle and defeat the orcs, with their remains fleeing back to their ships on the northern Valkondian coast. King Serisar approaches Silverscar and does a customary Elven greeting (crossing each other's arms).

"It seems you did get my message", says Serisar.

"We owed your ancestors this much...", says Silverscar, "Besides, the orcs destroyed our brothers..."

"Well, it seems humans and elves are even now", says Serisar.

"Yes, that is so, we have left gifts for your most trusted men, I am sure they will help them in their times of need...I must be leaving now back to my kingdom across the sea, good luck, I forsee that the orcs will not be a problem in the near future...", says Silverscar before mounting his horse and riding off the way he came...

Septim attends the banquet that night, recieves the newly created Medal of Orcbane, another Medal of Seron, and the Medal of Venificus. Septim also recieves one of the "gifts". The gifts turn out to be a full set of Elven armor, Elven barbute helmet, with an Elven bow, a quiver of Elven arrows, an Elven round shield, and an Elven longsword. Septim finds the armor light, but sturdy, and finds the longsword and shield to be the same way. Septim rides home with his gifts and locks the steel armor in his vault, he replaces it on the armor stand with the Elven armor, shield, and sword. Septim puts the Elven bow and quiver in the vault as well, not really knowing what to do with them (I have no skill as a marksman, I may later).

[[OOC: This doesn't take away from any of your days, you don't recieve any money with the medals, as the armor, bow, and sword compensates for that greatly...I did this to end the orc wars, we all get five prominence points as well...it looks as if we are Dukes, tomorrow that will be updated, I will draw a map of our territory now...there will be no wars for a long time (at least a real life month), so it looks like we'll have peace for a while...]]


19:59:51 Jun 13th 08 - Lord Erunion Telcontar:

{What, not even border scuffles? My army will be most dissapointed... :P}

Erunion puts on the set of magnificent elven armour, strapping the shield to his back and fitting the longsword to his side. He then slides his long-handled over his back, so that it is easily accessible but out of the way, as it will remain his weapon of choice.
With the best of his mounted soldiers, he joins the force designated to hunt down and destroy any and all remaining orc's on the continent.

{Septim, I was thinking of building myself a massive military academy that would be attached to the tacticians guild. It would teach combat as well as tactics, and I would get most of the money from it, as I and my most trusted officers and soldiers would do the teaching.
Is this ok? And if so, how much would it cost?}


20:03:46 Jun 13th 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II:

[[OOC: You can't do that, but you can convert your Guilds to teach more than one thing...instead of just tactics, it can be fighting and tactics, it wouldn't cost anything, and you'd get the same amount of money out of it...]]


20:06:42 Jun 13th 08 - Lord Erunion Telcontar:

{Thx. I'll just build meself a trading fleet then....}


20:51:27 Jun 13th 08 - Sir Ernie The Orange:

Ernie took his Elven weapons greatly and replaced his yew bow with the Elven one....it was of the finest materials and all the equipment was light as a feather.  Ernie from then on, wore the armor, sword, and bow into any battle.  He recieved several medals and then realized that there would be peace for awhile.  He found out that he was to be made a Duke shortly but not until things have calmed down a little.  Ernie then had another Guild of Oration built within his area of control to accomodate the larger number of students and guild members.  Ernie visited his new guild and when he returned to Tasidian for some much more work. 

He sold "The Hammer of Seron" for 4500 gold and then ordered the construction of a large trading fluyt for 20000 gold.  It would be the head of his trading fleet as he continued to build it.  After the incredibly exhausting day....Ernie read for a short while and fell asleep.

04:05:24 Jun 14th 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II:

[[OOC: For tomorrow...]]

Septim wakes up the next morning and eats breakfast, a courier then approaches with a longsword of a strange metal and an envelope. Septim opens the envelope to find the writing of King, now declared Emperor (as he controls the continent) Serisar.

Count Bertilius Septim,
Duke Fargos Tybis died in battle with the orcs with no heir. You are the most qualified of the Counts, so I have decided to give you the position, congratulations Duke Septim, you now only answer to the High Duke of Tysolon and myself. Enclosed is your Document of Dukeship.
Signed,
Emperor Garon Serisar
Emperor of Seron

P.S: As a congratulatory gift, the courier was given a longsword with your family crest to give to you. It is forged of mithril, one of the best swords in the land, the only thing better is the Adamantium lava forged blades of the fire dwarves. This blade is much tougher than the Elven steel one you have in your bedroom, the Elves are good at crafting steel, but men and dwarves will always be better at forging mithril and adamantium. 

Septim picks up the blade and finds it as light as the Elven blade at his side, and buckles it. He then calls a meeting between his Lords, Counts, and their wives via magic courier. He has a high table set up, with six seats on either side of the Cidellian throne for his Counts and their wives. Septim then has a larger table for the twenty four Lords of his Duchy and their wives. Upon their arrival the tables are already set up, Septim notices that many of them have wives, and he begins to think of having a marriage of his own before starting his speech.

"Counts and Countesses, Lords and Ladies, my name is Duke Bertilius Septim. Your previous Duke, Fargos Tybis, died in the Battle of Seron. His body has been laid to rest in his family crypt, and as he was the last of his line, I am taking his place under the orders of the Emperor, his majesty Garon Serisar. I vow to do all in my power to keep the Duchy of Cidel safe from all threats, internal and external, in time you will find that I am willing to enter battle myself for the sake of my people, I do that for my duchy, not for glory, not for honor, but for my people. I hope that you are all the same way", says Septim before sitting down, half of the Lords in the room clap with enthusiasm, and the servers clap as well. Septim smiles.

It seems the ones clapping are the ones that I've fought beside in battle, figures, only the pigs that sit high in their castle while their troops fight don't clap...

Septim finishes the banquet, and when the tables are removed, the coronation ceremony begins. The High Priest of Cidel approaches Septim and looks down upon his kneeling form.

"Do you, Bertilius Septim, vow to do all in your power to protect your people?" asks the priest.

"Of course...", says Septim.

"Do you vow not to commit any crimes you wouldn't want your people commiting", says the priest.

"Of course", says Septim, I'm many things, but I'm not a hypocrite...

"Good, then I now name you, Duke Bertilius Septim, Duke of Cidel", says the priest as he places a crown of gold and red jewels upon Septim's head. Septim rises and sits in his throne.

After all the Lords, Counts, Ladies, and Countesses leave the castle, Septim goes to his study and writes a letter to the Guild of Scholars. Septim begins researching for a possible marriage. He finds that Alessia Colvaine, the twenty-one year old daughter of Duke Corvus Colvaine is the best choice. He writes a letter asking for a meet and sends it via courier before going to bed.

Erunion sat in his chambers, thinking. So I'm a Duke now.
The meeting with his lords had gone well. They all seemed to respect him, most seemed rather over-awed at his presence. His mastery of tactics and fighting had earned himself a name.
His Lords bore watching, of course. He wouldn't make a decision yet, but he feared a few of them were... Somewhat less than honest.
Well, there will be enough masters of combat and tactics soon, so I must needs get on something else. I will advance my studies in magic. Firmly decided now, he rode to the Magi's tower and enrolled for a course in veteran magic.

07:35:19 Jun 15th 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II:

Septim finishes his book on veteran oration before eating breakfast and finds that he had recieved a letter from Duke Corvus Colvaine. Septim rides to the city of Colus, in the Province of Collaria. Septim is recieved well by servants before meeting Duke Colvaine. Septim is invited to lunch with him, his daughter, and his wife, Mara.

"Well, Duke Septim, it seems that your rise to prominence has been quite impressive, in five years you have managed to become a Duke!" yells Colvaine, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you", says Septim.

"You know, Duke Septim, I am one of your kind. I was not born into nobility, I made myself, it took me three times as long, but I have obtained this position, and now some wealthy son of a Duke is asking to marry my daughter, if you duel him, and win, I will allow you to marry her", says Corvus.

Septim agrees, and walks into the dueling circle to find a rather chubby noble with a rapier, the suitor looks rather frightened.

"I am Helvar, son of Ielon Vradmar, my family has ruled Vradmaron for six generations", boasts the suitor.

"And what makes you think I care?" asks Septim before drawing his longsword, "I am Duke Bertilius Septim, war hero of the Valkondian-Seronian war, warlord of Cidel, war hero of the orc wars, master of melee combat, and guildmaster of the Guild of Scholars, now, if you are sure you want to fight me, and more than likely break a few bones, if not lose a limb, that is fine with me!"

The suitor pauses for a moment, then drops the rapier and runs.

"Well, it appears our good Duke has emerged victorious!" yells Corvus with a sense of pride, "The suitor was due to marry my daughter tonight, you may take his place!"

Corvus leans close to Septim, "I'd much rather have you as a son-in-law than that pampered little noble any day!"

***

The marriage starts, with the bride walking down the aisle, and the priest says his words. The ring is brought to her, and is put on her. Septim takes the ring and puts it on himself. The ceremony continues, and in the end, the two leave Duke Bertilius Septim and Duchess Alessia Septim.

Septim returns home by carriage with his wife, where he has a new throne put beside his. Septim then goes to his quarters with his wife.

02:37:40 Jun 16th 08 - Sir Ernie The Orange:

Ernie was invited to the castle of Duke Caspian to have lunch.  Apparently Duke Caspian was an old war hero back in his younger days and he grew to like Ernie incredibly fast.  It was only a matter of time before he gave the hand of his daughter, Caroline, to Ernie in marriage. 

Ernie and Caroline became married that night and traveled back to the castle at Tasidian.  When Ernie got there he recieved word that the Large Trading Fluyt was completed.  In celebration of his marriage he named the ship after his wife, Caroline.  He then took her to their room.

06:57:43 Jun 16th 08 - Prince Bertilius Septim II:

[[OOC: I forgot to do this earlier, now introducing spellbooks! They work the same way as regular books, but they take three times as long due to the complexity of the skill (each book takes three weeks to read...).

The Ways of Magic - 5000 gold - Teaches Journeyman Magic
The Hundavidum - 15000 gold - Teaches Veteran Magic
The Ordvondum - 45000 gold - Teaches Expert Magic
The Restovordom - 135,000 gold - Teaches Master Magic]]

Septim wakes up next to his wife and gets up. He gets dressed in clothes expected of a Duke and walks down to the dining room, where he eats breakfast. He then walks to the throne room and begins his duties. His wife later comes down and sits in her own throne for a while before walking down to the city and getting to know the people. Septim sees this as a good sign, meaning she cares for the people, nevertheless, Septim has a bodyguard with her at all times. Later on Septim eats lunch next to his wife before giving a lecture on the ancient Hevan Empire before attending another meeting with his Lords and Counts, he then goes swimming, and after returning he writes instructions for the second in command of the Guild of Scholars and sends them via courier. He then has a book bought for him, a book on veteran mathematics for 1100 gold. He reads it in bed before falling asleep next to his wife.

14:00:46 Jun 16th 08 - Sir Lelouch VI Britannia:

(Well, now that my net connection is working again, I was going to pick back up where I left off, but it looks like I'm WAY behind now... ;-) )


16:47:35 Jun 16th 08 - Lord Erunion Telcontar:

Whilst seeing to several large scale projects in his realm, such as improved roads and the introduction of more effective farming techniques, Erunion sent out a call for volunteers to join the military.
Erunion now has an army of 2000 men.
Each of the new soldiers is paired off with an old soldier, with the task of teaching the new soldier 'the ropes.'
At the same time, the new and the old soldiers are put into an extensive training program to keep them out of trouble. Besides, a heavily drilled army is a heavily disciplined army...
