The Coalition

The Coalition (Formally Known as The Vorge Empire) is one of the four main countries in the land of Nurn located in western part of the continent. The Coalition is most know for its involvement in The Beast Genocide.

## The Beginning

There are conflicting reports on how The Coalition started but the agreed upon start goes as follows. At first The Orcs were a very distant and unorganized set of tribes. Each one following different traditions and values, with the only connecting thread being an Orc's love for combat. With years passing eventually Raguk The Crimsoned grew to be the War Chief of his tribe. Days after his newly obtained position he renamed his clan The Vorge after his late brother Vorge The Untamed, and then took the tribe to many wars against the other Orc tribes. In just a few years The Vorge had gained control of almost all Orc tribes in the region, with those who refused to join killed and their homes razed to prevent those tribes from rebuilding.

After the unification of The Orcs under The Vorge, Raguk was killed. To this day no one knows how or why he was killed but its speculated to be political assassination. Though Raguk's death did little to stop The Vorge's growth, as after Conqueror Zonagh took over The Vorge set its sight on fully taking over the southern part of the region.

After many battles and hostile negations, The Vorge claimed the land they currently hold today (with one exception of the current UKI land which started under a uneasy bond between the two). Though with the fast growth, and expected population growth, famine and death became a great concern in the region. To solve this Zonagh and his lead advisor Pergu came up with a plan to solve these problems.

## The Beast Genocide

After The Vorge's unnatural growth Zonagh declared an emergency and a convened with his advisors to come up with a solution. Lead advisor Pergu noted that a great number of their people in their land were causing a upset and were trying to not only start a revolution but a whole new country. This revolution was going to be started by Ovnu (self-proclaimed leader of many Kobold tribes) and An Xue (a peace councilor representing the Harengon). On top of that Pergu stated that all most of the beast races in The Vorge's territory were keen on helping the revolution, due to the fact that Orc in the past targeted beast races for their perceived weaknesses. With these "facts" in mind Zonagh moved forward with Pergu's suggestion of a "purge".

Zonagh changed the name of the country to The Coalition. And declared that any tribe or city within that does not submit or speaks of "treason" will be eradicated. This declaration was met with wide spread outcry from all ends of the land of Nurn. In the beginning many tribes and towns tried to fight back with protests and backlash. With revolutionary Ovnu leading the protests, after many attempts Ovnu was captured and executed in the capital city of Termanesi. An Xue attempted to ease the fighting by requesting court with Zonagh, An Xue was granted said court but was never found afterwards.

Soon any was met with extreme force, to the point that entire generations of family were killed in a matter of days. With word breaking out of a full on genocide of all beast race breaking out, Powerhorn, Bagbak, and supporting kingdoms were sent to fight off The Coalition and prevent a full on genocide sparking a war of uncertainty for The Coalition.

The war spanned many years, with a great loss of life on both sides of the conflict. But was ended with Zonagh's death at The Battle of Jexgon. The Coalition retreated fully from Jexgon's territory and new War Chief Inkathu entering peace talks to end the war and genocide, but the damage was done. The population of different beast races was greatly reduced in Coalition territory or in the case of Kobold almost wiped out

In accordance with the peace treaty, The Coalition had to provide the remaining beast race (mainly the Kobold due to their reduced numbers) a town close to the borders of country that could govern itself but had to stay under the country's control. This city later became Stongo.

## The Current Era

Today The Coalition is being led by Targus The Cruel, a man who claims to be a distant relative to Raguk, and under their territory. The Coalition is the least advanced country compared to Powerhorn, Bagbak, and UKI. With most of their technology or architecture having not been updated for quite some time. With no easy access to Arcane Batteries nor access to similar tech, most people living in The Coalition live in mediocre conditions. Additionally, other than basic amounts of tax breaks, there are no schooling programs provided by the government.

However, to prevent another famine, The Coalition provides substantial breaks for its agricultural sector (so much so that under certain circumstances a farmer can start a brand new farm for as little as 10 gold) and its general trades. In addition, The Coalition itself pays the most for large quantities of food compared to the other countries, making The Coalition one of the best places for a farmer to sell their goods too.

Tribes of Orc still exist in small compacities in the country. With each tribe being allowed to govern and handle themselves, with only two stipulations. One: Tribes cannot grow too big, otherwise they could face integration or eradication and Two: In times of war, **all** able bodied orc must fight. Other than those rules, remaining tribe have their own rules cultures or even hierarchy systems.
