Anarchintia

=**Geography**=

Anarchintia was a beautiful nation of rolling hills full forests and even rushing rivers that were supposedly maintained by the mythical Gaurdian but now our nation better resembles this. Our mountains were burned our rivers dried up the grass sucked back into the ground and the land is plagued with monsters With only a few strongholds of civilization still intact dotted around the region. The land is dry and empty mostly covered by ruins of a lost time what water is in the region if not polluted with carnage it is surrounded by defenses. No humans live on the mountains anymore after the battle of Falcons Peak most of the land is controlled by monsters the only forests left have no animals just beasts like Werewolves, Skinwalkers, and Wendigo.

The History of Anarchintia
 * History**

Anarchintia started as a region of multiple tribes fighting amongst each other in 4,000 B.C but as the tribes advanced they soon formed the alliance known as the Kestnick Federation began in 3550 B.C though the Federation never accomplished much besides keeping peace and that was hardly staying solid finally the group called the Yatek’s began reforming their military in 3450 B.C and began attacking others in the alliance begining the Kestnick war this lasted for forty years of horrible warfare until finally in 3510 B.C the Yatek army fell in the northern area of the region yet the Federation did not defeat them it was a group of soldiers called the Adriens from western Anarchintia that from there expanded to engulf the federation and the entire region until in 3000 BC there civilization collapsed due to famine from there five main kingdoms grew out of the remains of Adrienia and began a struggle for power that was made up of small skirmishes these lasted until 2570 B.C. When a power race began between three of the kingdoms bulking up to expand this lasted until 2490 B.C when the area was so hostile no one dared move until finally the eastern kingdom struck south the north eastern kingdom tried to take advantage of this and invaded the east but met fierce resistance when they expected none yet edventually broke through ten years of war followed with constantly changing front lines until finally the eastern king conquered the south and in a daring move the north eastern kingdom swept south and surrounded the eastern kings position leaving nothing in between the eastern armies and their entire home yet the pull worked the eastern armies raced south to save their long time king yet were held by a shield force covering the armies rear the cities siege would continue one week into the siege eastern king decided to end the battle once and for all by making a faint cavalry charge against enemy north eastern catapults and cavalry as his infantry engaged the flank the attack was brilliant and bold yet in the fighting the eastern king fell to a spear threw the chest his death led to a major moral defeat of the east and soon its very collapse. Now with the three way war over in 2480 B.C the north eastern empire of Mocidea was large but weakend and was soon invaded by the north western armies of Rontillium in 2475 B.C the legions of Rontillium conquered the Mocidean empire in 2450 B.C. The Rontillium empire ruled the area until 1,000 AD Making them the largest and longest lasting empire in Anarchintia's history but collapsed when plague covered the empire and civil war began by the time the plague was over the empire was no more and once again kingdoms spawned from the ruins using its technology and improving it till 1070 AD than they began expanding this is when Anarchintia began its road to glory. There were three major kingdoms in the western part of Anarchintia that had amerged from this arms race Bernia a newly united nation craving for power, Fralik an old nation constantly overshadowed by bigger empires all through history now dreaming of rising to power, and Salip a old Rontillium province glad to be out from under its old masters thumb determined not to go under the thumb of a new one, one in the west Runia a people united recently by a ruthless dictator, one in the south Maslik a nation with dreams of expanding out of the horrid southern deserts into the greener lands of Salip and ruling over the people there, and two in the south west Arantania a group of people who were once warriors the back bone of the old Eastern Kingdom in the three way war their people since than have hated their old leaders from the province of Pernia blaming them for the failure, and Bylintia a nation that believes they are the last piece of the old Rontillium empire and are determind not to let it fall. Along with many smaller kingdoms (amongst the mixes one of which being the Grelis kingdom with dreams of rebuilding the Rontillium empire under the name of the Christian God this made the Grelis very unpopular along with their faith). In 1070 A.D war was about to erupt in the west between Bernia and Fralik the arms race leaving tension between the nations and fear of attack from the other in what would obviously be a a deadly war and neither nation wanted it on their soil. As both armies now rushed to make the first strike the armies met on the boarder a river called the Netu, and the battle took place. Fralik massively outnumbered the Bernian forces but Bernia was to afraid to see what would happen to their home land if they retreated and stood and fought the armies began a race to the crossings as they raced to the crossing Fralik took the bridges and shallows and as Bernia tried to stop them it was unsuccesful. Yet the flanks collided on the Bernian side of the river and Bernia was crushing the Fralik flanks. Finally the two kings and their vanguards met on the field and fought but the Bernian king became mixed in with his knights in the mix of the fighting and fell to arrows as soon as the vanguards realized their king was no longer fighting beside them they claimed him as dead and the army retreated back from the river. The second battle was at a city in Bernia called Ratin. This battle would forever be known as the great siege of Ratin and as one of the four battles for Anarchi ntia the first one. This time though with the king dead his young son at 25 the recently crowned Drake Larik lead the fight once again Bernia found itself outnumbered by Fralik forces the battle seeming dull and doomed for the Bernian forces only having 10,000 soldiers against 50,000 Fraliks including at least 10,000 of the legendary Fralik Hurlain soldiers a unit with a round iron shield and a three foot steel sword covered head to toe in chain mail and plate armor. The Bernian troops began to flee but the young son announced that he would stand and fight on the battlements alone if he must and even when his troops began to flee he grabbed a bow and manned the wall. The inspiration of their new kings example rallied the soldiers as his archers grabbed there longbows and joined him on the walls. As the first wave of Fraliks came the Longbowmen cut them down but before the young king Larik could realize what had happened they were all dead and he wept when he realized these men were armed with only daggers not worth hunting with let alone fighting and that they carried not the smallest piece of siege equipment and saw the faces of some of the men he had grown up with and served beside in battles before he realized these men were his own men captured at the battle of Netu now dressed in enemy uniforms given knives and sent to their deaths to test their own nations fire power for the enemy than as he looked down the field he saw men brought out his own men and watched them be executed for not attacking. Enraged by this trickery Larik came up with an idea to strike back later that night Larik with a few others snuck into the enemy camp and stole supplies, equipment, freed prisoners, and biggest of all in the strike found the Fralik king Jonue’s son at the age of 10 who had come to see a quick fight and get a understanding on what commanding a battle was like but had only brought a small one foot blade to the fight not even expecting to need it but it was never drawn he was killed and his sons head was cut off put on a stake and left outside his fathers tent getting back at dawn the Larik readied his defenses to take an all out assault against his city but he did not come instead the heart broken and angered Fralik king surrounded the city and began to strangle the city he wanted it to die slowly for the people inside to beg for death three weeks into the siege Ratin’s food supplies was running low on supplies finally Larik knew something had to be done before the town was starved and the Bernian army prepared to fight outnumbered by plenty almost five covers of troops surrounded them the Bernians marched out of the northern gate and onto the field 5,000 Men at Arms in the front 3,000 Longbowmen in the rear and 1,000 Knight cavalry on each flank and advanced on the northern Fralik camp of 12,500 the Fralik troops lined up with 7,000 Hurlain soldiers in the front 3,000 short bow archers behind them and 2,500 Knight cavalry behind them in a stacked formation. Quickly the Bernains took a defensive position planting their shields to the ground and laid their swords on top of the shields and their cavalry readied themselves for attack as Fralik Shortbow Archers fired their arrows and they hit against the shields of the Men at Arms but bounced off than the Longbows returned but they were strong enough to reach the Shortbows the volley was crippling 700 Shortbowmen fell with the strike morale on the Bernian side raised to hopeful and when Fralik made a cavalry charge it soared as the Longbowmen’s arrows ripped them to pieces only 1,000 made it back finally with an easy victory in sight the Longbowmen raised their bows again as the Hurlain crossed the field the Longbows fired and arrows rained down on them the Hurlain raised their shields as the Longbow bolts slammed against them but this time the bolts did not crash through like against the Knights the Bowmen quickly reloaded as the almost untouched enemy rose from behind their shields and charged. The Longbows again fired with little more success. A third and final time the Longbowmen rushed another of arrows at the Hurlain and a third time few Hurlain fell as they smashed into the Men at Arms shield wall the attack was shockingly effective breaking through the first few lines. Chaotic battle ensued and as the Fralik Knights came to cover the flanks the Longbowmen tried aimed to put a stop to it but without anyone noticing the Shortbow Archers advanced putting the Longbows in range and fired before the Longbowmen had a chance destroying their hope of stopping the charging Knights that smashed into their flanks now with the Longbows only being able to duel it out with the Shortbows Knight on Knight fighting on the flanks and Larik trying to keep the Men at Arms from falling into a complete route finally the Bernian Knights broke through just as the Men at Arms began to collapse but still the Hurlain didn’t retreat even as the Shortbows began to collapse and their Knights fell back quicky the Bernian Knights moved in on the Hurlain flanks allowing the Men at Arms to fall back but even with the Knights against the Hurlain they were just to few to beat back 4,000 Hurlain finally the Knights were ordered on to ride out and get through the enemy camp as the rest retreated into the city and to get reinforcements into the city no matter what it took 15 cavalry were all that made it out and the rest of the army retreated to the city after the strike the Fralik king readied his forces to take the city by storm with the Longbowmens numbers reduced to 1,750 Larik knew the attack had a great chance of success and with almost no Men at arms or any Knights left to fight on the ramparts and in the streets when the enemies make it over the walls also now the Longbowmen had been proven to have little effect on Fraliks Hurlain infantry Larik saw defeat coming and cursed himself for making the attack to break free of the city as Fraliks king felt that revenge for his son was in his hands as the Fralik army closed in on the city Larik struggled to come up with a plan to save his kingdom and its army so quickly he rushed into the armory with whatever soldiers he could spare and found it almost completely stocked for the garrison to hold out for years with weapons and so far the supply was almost untapped most soldiers had just been using what they had brought with them knowing Ratin had a 12,000 person population Larik quickly rallied volunteers to fight the turn out was 3,000 men took up Longbows and swords and prepared for a fight as Fralik warriors moved in on all but the northern front the Longbows opened up fire wave after wave of arrows but Jonue had thought ahead and had his Hurlain leading the attack as the arrows did little damage Larik ordered his Longbowmen to aim for the rear of the enemy formation. With the next wave of arrows Jonue his Shortbow Archers who were supposed to support the Hurlain as they climb be destroyed as the Longbowmen sent relentless shot wave after wave of arrows as quick as possible. By the time the Hurlain reached the wall the Shortbows were all but a few dead on the field even without support the Hurlain began scaling the walls with their siege ladders but quickly noticed something and that was their shields may stop Longbow bolts but there plate and chain mail armor was a different story. As the Hurlain scaled the ladders arrows pounded their breastplates. The ladders made for a perfect bottle neck and even with the armies massive numbers they couldn’t over run the position the Hurlain made it over the wall at one point only three made it up onto the walls before being killed or captured the Hurlain retreated after taking large casualties. All in all 10,000 Fralik soldiers fell at the attack with only five Bernian casualties. Even after the attacks failure Bernia’s chances were slim to none with no cavalry limited supplies and a smaller army that only had half of its soldiers actually trained it almost looked hopeless and it would have been if not for King Larik he was the only person who could keep the morale of this city together any other king in Anarchintia would have given in and tried for good terms but Larik was determined to hold the city. Yet on the other side of the field Joune stood by his sons grave cursing Bernia and all its people swearing revenge and the only mercy he would show when the city fell would be to make sure there was no one to morn the towns losses at the battles end. Both commanders knew how determined the other was they knew only one could leave this field with their lives but for now the battle was at a stalemate with both sides putting their eggs in one basket to end it once and for all. For Larik his hopes were for reinforcements to come to his aid soon with his surviving Knights. For Joune it was his engineers who were working on three different projects to siege the city. The first was a Siege Wall designed to better protect the army until it made it to the wall than loosening up the bottle neck with a bridge like platform leading over to the wall making the time to get on top of the wall quicker and the likeliness of over running the Longbowmen much better along with adding in the ability for Hurlain’s shield to be a useable tool unlike on the ladders. The second was the Mangonel catapult a piece of equipment that could be used to fire large rocks or other projectiles over the walls of the city slowly demoralizing the city as inner buildings and civilians are destroyed and killed but leaving the walls completely intact and easily defendable while the town is rebuilt. The third was a trebuchet a large catapult like weapon that fired huge boulders against the city walls and other defenses until the city is to weak to withstand an attack. Neither leader knew about each others plans for any attempts to get a spy into the others camp had failed terribly at this point it was a game to see who’s plan payed off quicker. It was now four months into the siege and Ratin had eaten its last food three days ago and Joune knew it not to mention his engineers were just about finished all three projects all that was left to do was pick which tactic would get the first and hopefully for them the only try. Larik himself had tried to break out five more times all were massacres where his troops without cavalry were flanked overrun and murdered each attack worse than the last. There was only a hand full of Bernian soldiers left to fight not even enough to fully man the walls there had been nothing but defeat and death in Ratin for months. Finally Larik grabbed his white flag to offer his surrender and try for terms fighting back tears he gave the order to lower his national banner and raise the white flag. As the troops walked to their banner and prepared to take it down Larik ran to his man and ordered them to stop smiling ear to ear pointed to the north one Knight carrying the Bernian banner rode amongst the hill top this was without a doubt the news they had been hoping for. The reinforcements were here. Quickly Larik gathered his starving tired soldiers and ordered them to get ready for battle and as the words came out of his mouth “the reinforcements are here” all of Ratin let out a cheer and a sigh of relief. Quickly the Bernian soldiers threw on their armor grabbed their weapons and ran to the field without even waiting for orders they attacked the northern camp again Fralik troops grabbed their armor and weapons to try to make a defensive line but that was hopeless when Bernain soldiers and reinforcements hit them at the same side one in the front the other in the rear its said the camp collapsed as soon as the first Bernian sword smashed against a Fralik shield. And once again Fralik lost a great many Shortbowed Archers even with the actual battle lasting only three minutes. Yet what Larik didn’t realize was that Joune had seen his army attack from the north and his few troops that were in the city were now being overrun by Hurlain by the time Larik got back to the city Fralik troops were in the streets but as soon as the Bernians rushed in the northern gate the Fralik warriors took up defensive positions and Joune by himself walked out to meet face to face with Larik for terms. Joune made his terms very clear “give us your prisoners and surrender the northern camp and we will go back to the other side of the city walls and return to our camps if you don’t we can fight in the streets and the mercy I’ve shown to your civilians so far will not continue.” Larik knowing he would be giving up his only hope for continuing supplies agreed to Joune’s terms completely but Larik had a plan. As night came down again he gathered every builder, architect, and engineer in the city and over night they started to build a keep outside the city to the north west. By daybreak the inside was finished but not the walls and Joune seeing this ordered an attack on this new fortification from the western camp Larik positioned his army now resupplied and reinforced between the Fralik soldiers and the workers a almost completely fresh army of 13,000 Bernians now sized up to the enemy engaging force of 13,500. Bernia lined up in its standard battle line with now a little tweak to it. The 8,000 Men at Arms formed a shield wall making a Phalanx formation and laid their swords on top of their shields the 3,000 Longbowmen stayed behind them with bows at the ready and the 2,000 Knights were in a arrow head formation on either of the flanks. But the Fralik troops had also learned from the battle they lined up in huge boars snout with 8,000 Hurlain in the front center behind them 3,500 Shorbow Archers and 2,000 Knights flanking the Archers not the infantry. The first move was made by the Hurlain they marched across the field until within charging distance the Longbowmen conserved their arrows and did not fire once upon the Hurlain force instead the Hurlain charged and than the Men at Arms did the same breaking formation exploding out like dynamite and meeting them half way and intertwining each other in combat this lasted for two hours of just infantry fighting before the Longbowmen exclaimed their Men at Arms were failing and they retreated to the stronghold that was in construction this allowed Fralik Knights to charge and meet the Bernian Knights on the flanks. As the fighting dragged on the Knights fighting spilled further and further from the infantry and finally after being beaten around by the Hurlain for hours the Men at Arms fell back near the Keep along with Bernian Knights and though the Men at Arms were losing against the Hurlain they were not retreating they reformed their phalanx and took another smash by Hurlain infantry charging but Larik held them together and the Bernian Knights made it to the wall that right as the Fralik Knights prepared to smash into them it began to rain arrows the Keep was miraculously completed after a full night and into the day of workers going non stop the Longbows had taken the defenses and had now cut down the Fralik Knights in a wave of arrows the sight of the Longbow bolts flying at them was depleting to the Fralik Knights morale and numbers also it stopped the Kights charge in its tracks those Knights not effected came to a stop. This gave the Bernian Knights a huge advantage as they slammed into the Fralik cavalry and routed them. From here Bernian Knights closed in on the flanks Shortbow Archers fired at the Knights as they closed in on the flanks but were completely useless the Hurlain were slaughtered and the Shortbows abandoned them to save their own skins. The Hurlain realizing this surrendered it had been an unbelievable trap and an unimaginable slaughter 13,000 casualties were taken on both sides Bernia only losing about 4,000 and Fralik losing 9,000. The bodies of most Fralik soldiers were left for the crows and vultures circling above. Three days later Larik wanted to try again now to the north west he planned on placing a Keep to end the battle and finally break the siege with full supplies coming in from the north east the battles tides had turned and now Larik was going to end the battle once again at night workers began on a keep and Fralik soldiers made the same attack as last time but this time when the Longbowmen fell back to the Keep and the Men at Arms and Knights were on their way back fire shot over their heads and horror was unleashed the Trebuchets had opened fire on the defenses as they crumbled the Men at Arms and Knights became overrun and a route began. Bernia was crushed and as the surviving troops made it back to the city one Knight ran carrying a limp body over to a medic he laid the soldier down and took off the Helmet and there laid King Larik his leg shattered at the knee from a Hurlain shield and a stab threw the shoulder from a Knight he was bleeding badly, unconscious, and his skin was pale. The medic tore off the armor and stitched his arm as well as possible and made a splint for his knee just for hope. Yet Larik was still unconscious and pale it seemed that the medic had wasted his time. Yet by the next day Larik began regaining color and soon woke up just in time to get out of bed find his guard and than watch his room be destroyed by a big rock fired from a Mangonel it turned out they had been being mortared by them for days and occasionally attacked and that there was little more they could do the army was back to a 12,000 strength but wasn’t able to take on the Hurlain the only troops able to hold their own against them were Knights and there were not enough so Larik put his engineers to work once again but this time not with a new building but with a new weapon with in a week they had something this weapon was designed for the soul reason of destroying the Hurlain units this weapon was a Ballista like a giant crossbow called the Howitzer of its day by one history professional. Finally Larik ordered and attack to the south the main camp of the Fralik army the camp commanded by Joune. in the last attack it was 12,000 Bernians on 13,000 Fralik in standard formations but this time behind the Longbows was the 500 Ballista and this time when the Hurlain advanced the moment of truth came to see if the Ballista would work. They fired the bolts flew through the air and as the Hurlain raised their shields the bolts smashed through them from here Bernia went on a full on attack Ballista bolts destroyed Hurlain until the Men at Arms attacked them the Fralik Knights were cut down with Longbow fire until they ran into Bernian Knights then the Longbows switched to the Shortbow Archers. It was a murder Fralik soldiers died left and right by the time it was over there were no Fralik alive except on the eastern front that was now retreating home. Joune was found next to his sons grave with a Ballista bolt threw his chest the siege and the war was over once and for all two weeks later Lariks armies crossed Natu river and Fralik surrendered in 1171 defenceless after a quick skirmish between militia and Bernian soldiers. With the war over Bernia was now in control of Fralik and was now a huge threat to Salip with the threat of a new war on the way the Bernian government debated on which would be a better option to rebuild the army to full power and if possible beyond or to seek out diplomacy with the Salip leaders? Yet at the same time in the east and south more conflicts had arisen. Two kingdoms had expanded to maximum proportion and four more were caught up in it. Runia and Arantania had expanded conquering small independent Provinces and Fiefdoms until almost the entire east was in their hands. Runia had conquered the entire north eastern portion of Anarchintia their ruthless leader Rizar Nicholas Vartus had lead this small rag tag armies for over 15 years his battle hardened troops ready for a fight at any turn begging their commander to bring them into another battle for more land more territories more conquest. Well in the south Arantania had expanded taking most of the south east corner and began expanding west lead by their king Satil Arantania was a very balanced nation with a flowing culture excellent trade that expanded even beyond the south some of the most advanced technology of the day and a iron military system. Arantanian society was made up of choices and whatever the choice may be will guide you in your life. (This way of life was implemented up to imperial Anarchintian society before the collapse.) For example when an Arantanian citizen is born they have the social standing of their parents, until all males are all given equal education. (At this time Females were still mostly taught to be house wives until many years later.) In this they learn a few basics about every field of work in the empire for five years than they decide at 15 years old what they decide what they wish to do for their lives and sign themselves into an apprenticeship with someone who has been successful in the field for another three to five years. They work under their teacher as part of his workers learning how to do this themselves receiving no pay but is given everything they need during this time. By the end of this apprenticeship the student now has full rights to begin to lead their own life doing things such as moving out to their own home getting married having a family ect. but if they have done well their teacher may offer them a job for pay to stay to work for him. This decision is another important one in Arantania for if the student goes out on his own he would be sent off on his own with a sum of money given to him by his teacher enough to begin on his own in this line of work and if successful may become very rich and powerful in their field but if not they will sink into poverty and will live a harsh life with very little or will be forced to try to find work under someone else in the field which is a massive insult. Yet if the student decides to stay this is not an insult for he has not failed he is putting his trust into his teacher that the business that they have worked in will stay afloat and the student will live a comfortable life if it does but if the business begins to fail the student has the chance to sink with it or swim off and take a job under a knew business in the field. (In this system it is almost impossible to switch fields of work.) But if an Arantanian does sink to the bottom weather through failed business or being made a criminal and is in complete poverty without being able to find a job they always have one last option to attempt to pull themselves from the depths of poverty and that option is the military though being a commander or elite unit was a field of work poverty stricken Arantanians would be made as infantry units or other mass produced units needed for fighting a war and though the work was dangerous a veteran soldier could become easily a rich man though not many made that accomplishment due to the high risk factor. Due to many Arantanians being proud leaders and loyal if servants there were a large amount who would rather sink to rock bottom than work under another person then they have already been under so the military always had a steady stream of recruits allowing them to defend themselves with a strong and well built military that was very skilled in the southern desert terrain that they lived and fought in. Also because of the success of this system the population of Arantania was continuing to grow in large quantities causing need for expansion this lead to Arantania taking control of a large portion of the south east corner of Anarchintia and expanding west. Now though Runia and Arantania had expanded by conquering small one province kingdoms that were taken in a battle no need for a war no chance of massive revenge assaults and now the two empires were ready to collide with each other for dominance over Anarchintia in a war that could out do the old three way war and now it was a race for Pernia. Now there was only one province left that wasn’t ruled by a large kingdom keeping these two massive empires away from each other on their south eastern boarder of Runia (also north eastern Arantanian border) this was Pernia. Pernia knew it would not hold for long against either empire the king fled the empire and now it was just a race to see who could get their armies to Pernia first. Finally late in the year Pernian armies surrendered after a few small battles where the terrified armies were driven into their heartland and quickly gave up, but not to the Runians or Arantains they fell to the kingdom of Tulia. The Tulian king Sulimon had seen this war coming along with many others but he also saw that besides Runia and Arantaia his kingdom had the most to lose for the way the nations were shaped there western boarders had many smaller nations that they could hack through in many long costly and futile wars to try and reach each other, (not to mention the nation Bylintia had previously feared a Runian advance west so they captured a string of provinces and heavily fortified them blocking Runia from going west into central Anarchintia.) So times before they had poked armies around on there south/north west boarders to be met by dangerous Tulian armies terrified of one nation thrusting with full force and wiping their lands out because of this they fought bravely to inspire fear in their enemies so they would think it wasn’t worth the trouble which for now had worked. Yet now Sulimon saw that if this war broke out fighting in Pernia might not be enough than both empires would thrust their armies at full force into Tulia and his people would be caught in the crossfire of two massive militaries fighting the largest scale war Anarchintia had ever seen. In hopes of stopping this dark and desperate possible future Sulimon took a gamble and raced his armies into Pernia and captured it. He knew this could either save his nation from destruction or start it off early for if Runia or Arantania or both decided to continue with their plans to take Pernia even if Tulia controlled it they would be crushed in this massive war. Now by the end of the year there was nothing and for now it seemed that Tulia was safe and the Runian and Arantanian armies were going to try and fight their way west to get to each other the first to get into the west was Arantania as they invaded the kingdom of Maslik and as the first Arantanian soldier set foot on Maslik it began a war that is now considered the second battle of Anarchintia. (Many people have argued that this could not be considered a battle because it was a large scale war but in all actuality only one battle of Anarchintia was an actual battle the rest were wars that for the most part never had a moment where people were not not killing each other except for the second.) As the Arantanians marched into Maskil the armies collided in many skirmishes and small battles of Maskil men picking up arms and fighting for their towns this almost never went well within a year Arantania had driven the Maskil people back (Though Maskil did have plans to conquer Salip they had not established a set military to do so they instead had been building colonies going east to gain whatever resources they could before beginning their exodus and after the first year of the war it seemed like that exodus wouldn’t happen, but now the king Barbola Ranas has come up with a genius but risky plan Barbola had been building an army but not of hired professional soldiers but completely out of civilians and not just any civilians but angry ones the ones that had lost their farms or businesses who had watched their towns communities and homes burn to the ground. Those who had seen their coworkers friends and their own blood be killed. The people who had seen up close the horror the war has brought to their nation these were called the Mchanga Fira. They would be the new elite military system designed to rid their nation of the Arantanian plague that had over come it. They wore no armor if not in an ambush position they were on camels and welded either recurve bows with armor piercing arrows excellent for countering advanced Arantanian armor making technology or duel swords fit or the job of having one defend against enemy attacks while the other finds chinks in the armor to take advantage of. Leading this military force would be king Ranas himself after losing his own daughter during a raid on the city of Tunia where an arrow from a Arantanian archer struck her through the stomach. The rage and determination of the Mchanga Fira was the Maskil’s last hope. The Mchanga Fira would first be put to the test at the battle of Morrina as Arantanian forces marched on the city of Morrina they were ambushed by Mchanga Fira forces first being harassed with arrows from mounted Camel Archers than as they persued their attackers with Archers and Cavalry more Mchanga Fira laying under a thin layer of sand popped up and attacked the Arantanians this spooked the horses throwing riders to the ground leaving them injured or with the wind knocked out of them or with the underbelly of the horse showing completely unarmored leaving an excellent target for a sword. Those mounted units left still mounted were powerful but to few to be effective the Arantanians were ripped to pieces. After several other attacks like this the Arantanian invasion force was running low on units and supplies so they were forced to the defensive. Ranas saw his chance he changed his tactics and went on the offensive. Using all the weapons and armor and knowledge they had gotten from capturing Arantanian supply caravans in a month the entire Mchanga Fira was now the 23rd 24th and 29th infantry division survivors captured at the battle of Ronna. After faking a prison break the Arantanians bought it and the commanders couldn’t believe their luck within another month the Mchanga Fira were in the mix of the Arantanian army being fed, clothed, and housed by their enemies even giving them false information onto Mchanga Fira training camps to later use as ambush spots with the reinforcements were no more than a week away and the largest ambush in Anarchintia’s history took place. As the divisions were asleep about a half hour before morning training the Mchanga Fira divisions awoke and prepared their weapons and armor for the morning training and headed out of their tents like they normally would for morning training the commanders were impressed with the soldiers enthusiasm and saw nothing wrong until the Mchanga Fira screamed their war cries and had their blades at the commanders necks. As poorly as it was planned the attack went off well (the original orders were get up early head out for training and go crazy.) The Maskil soldiers had executed almost all the commanders before they knew they were under attack. The soldiers were just waking up and getting ready when they jumped into the fight most didn’t have full armor on just a helmet or a grieve. Plus the Maskil fighters had grabbed torches and were burning down the tents of the Arantanian troops who were now being burned alive if they weren’t already in the fight. Then to tell who was Arantanian and who was a Mchanga Fira the Maskil had painted a big white X on their brestplates. It was a massacre. The Arantanians were confused and terrified as they saw fire and fighting and bloodshed but they were not sure who was the attackers and who were the defenders they could not figure out what side they were on causing much Arantanian on Arantanian fighting. One hour after the attack began it was over the Mchanga Fira as always showed no mercy and slaughtered every Arantanian in the camp 40,000 were dead on the Arantanian side only 1,000 Mchanga Fira fell. It was over. The Maskil troops cut off 5,000 heads and put them on sticks in the ground as a warning to the Arantanian reinforcements from a birds eye view the heads spelt Hakuna Ruka “No Trespassing”. This was a terrifying sign but it only enraged the Arantanian forces as they attacked and sieged the city of Artina this bloody and bold battle lasted three months in which Arantania lost 20,000 troops and Maskil lost 14,000 until the Arantanian army admitted defeat and retreated broken with only 5,000 soldiers and slipped through boot pass and hid below the kingdom of Grelis where they began a small village and hid hoping one day to return to Arantania. The war was over in 1180 AD. During this nine year war in Maskil Runia had been bury with their own quest for the west and had invaded The Northern Empire a group of people that controlled the northern part of Anarchintia by conquering small independent kingdoms. With this invasion being as successful as it was it didn’t even take a year for the Northern Empire to be on its heels after smashing through they had made it around the Bylintian defense line and had successfully broken into the west. Bylintia tried to form a defense tried to cut off and stop the invaders from taking the west but they didn’t wish to declare war until finally they saw no other option three years into the Anarchintian invasion into Maskil Bylintia declared war on Runia. It was a massacre. Bylintia was the most advanced civilization in western Anarchintia heavily armored infantry iron clad cavalry and Archers that could hit a grape from 100 yards and they were butchered. They had never seen an enemy like Runia the fighting and tactics were barbaric and fierce wielding swords spears and battle axes Bylintian troops formed battle lines smashed by axes cavalry rushed in to watch their horses be beheaded with claymores and than in the mix of the fighting Runian forces would through spears through soldiers it was one mess after another every battle every fight. Not only were the Runians fighting well enough to take on five men at once and win but Runia had the numbers advantage hordes of Runians were now sweeping up the west the Northern Empire was down to one territory Grelis had its back to the wall Bylintia was retreating on all fronts but now their was hope a bit older bit more experienced king Larik had talked the Salip leaders away from war and now with Runia over taking everything they had formed an alliance. The Western Alliance and fought back against Runia. At first Runia had been smashing through western Anarchintia and had been destroying it but with a united front and no way around it they were forced to fight in open battle it came down to the battle of the field. 50,000 Runians against 40,000 Western Allies on a chessboard of a battlefield completely flat
