Region: The Hole To Hide In
RP: Autonomy doesn't mean Independance
Hemlock's presence has been indisputable. Good intentions plagued with backfire after backfire. However noble Hemlock's intentions were at trying to whittle down at the Syndicalist's and Totalist stranglehold on the nation, it's caused prolonged grief and much suspicion from the Public. This marriage may become a cornerstone of instability, especially if it involves the promise of a foreign religion or subjugation to a foreign throne.
RP: Ulysses appoints the first Byzantine Pope in 30 years
With the Civil War once again in full swing, Ulysses has already begun to set the stage for the future of the nation. The Catholic Church, a former entity within the old Federation, has become nothing more than a shell of its former self. King Ulysses intended to change that as he made the first appointment of the Pope to signify the return of the Church to the public stage. The Pope of Choice was none other than Castias Hranji. The Hranji's are a family that have been rather secretive in the past century but very closely tied to the Marlyn family. This appointment marks the return of the Hranjis to the public eye after several centuries of hiding and being off the grid. Castias' position as Pope also marks the first non-human to become Pope of the Catholic Church. The Hranjis are one of 5 family names that are half breeds, the last of their kind in Basaran. They are commonly known as Lamia, a half-human and half-snake hybrid. They were persecuted and purged in the early 1800s because of this genetic trait. Kane's ascension to power in 1976 freed them from it but they remained hidden, out of sight and out of mind.
RP: Bringing the Fight
The initial roar of artillery drowned the defensive positions held by the King's men. Condensed around the main road, the army of fifty thousand found themselves being chased out by a blitz of tanks and destruction that rained down from the heavens. They returned fire with MGs and artillery of their own but had to fall back with the Icewindians when the King Ravens made the trenches unbearable. They retreated a mile back, keeping constant fire on the approaching Totalist forces, making sure every inch was paid for in blood. When the AT support kicked in and blew up several Empire tanks, the rush slowed down, giving them time to find better cover. The initial onslaught crippled the defenses, taking out four thousand men in the first hour of conflict.
RP: Resupply
Relief was needed. The Totalists were pushing hard and fast and outnumber the front 100 to 1. A request would be put in for full military support, whatever could be offered by the Archians.
