The New Sargonic Empire

Its around 150 BBS, and things aren't looking good for the Runick Kingdom, they have lost their colonies in the 95-year Revolt and most of the nation is starving. From the shadows, a Sargonic Cult named the Priests of Blood form a political party named the Greater Empire Movement (G.E.M.). They gain more and more power as they spread propaganda like wildfire, and in 147 BBS, they gain the final vote from the unknowing Runick peoples. Their only goal is to succesfully establish a flourishing empire in the name of their deity, Sargon, The True Emperor. The NSE has risen.

They elected three different leaders, simply named ''the three Consols'', and begin preparing for war, they introduce conscription and use all available iron and wood for muskets. In a debated move they silently 'swallow' Timore isle, it is unknown wether the natives resisted, or simply didn't fight. Eitherway, the other nations didnt even notice, none even knew that the Runick Kingdom had elected a government already.

Then, they take Dutanov and Alargè, and others do begin taking notice. King Anik Ødenberg the first of Northland sends a letter to the Consols and requests them to stop taking territory. It is quickly denied, and they invade Marhland. Northland now sends a warning, saying that if the now New Sargonic Empire takes any more territories, there will be dire consequences.

Then, in the flourishing Northic port city of Deldon, sudden cannonfire rains down on the houses, the Northic fleet and on the townsfolk. The Sargonic Empire thought that if they could take down the Northic navy they'd have full control over the sea. Northland furiously declares war on the Empire and sends a fleet towards... oh yeah, they dont have one anymore.

The Empire now takes Trespassers and Resters Isle from Northland and constructs fortifications there whilst Northland is repairing their fleet. They also send an army to Rèttelland and invade it in a week. This was enough time for Northland to ready their army and repair most of the fleet. They are able to partially push back the Empire, until they get attacked in the Southeast. They quickly move their armies to the frontlines, but General Von Attersen disagrees with this tactic, and makes a plan to blow up the bridge over the Whitestone Channel and move strategically via the mountains using professional guerrila fighters with warm clothing. this plan worked as the mountains were taken back.

The Empire changes their aproach, they will encircle the mountain forces and starve them, then direct their power to the Northic army. To do this they had to take the channel, and that was their second mistake. At the famous battle of Whitestone the Emperial force crossed the bridge and at the exact moment, it would be blown up. much of their forces were now either in the freezing water or stuck in between the channel and the Northic and Rèttelandic armies.

This would be the biggest loss the Empire would suffer as more than half of their forces were now either captured or dead and Northland was nearing their border. The Empire strikes a deal with Ilsatia, if they would attack Northland in the West they could redirect their forces away and relieving some stress on the Empire. They also used their gunships to put more stress on the Northic army. And raided invaded towns, looting and burning them.

Northland knew that if they kept retreating, they might actually lose. Their generals ordered charge after charge, many hundreds of lives were lost in this event, named the Great resistance, but after a week of nonstop pushing, and caused the deaths of half the imperial force, the Empire was pushed out of West-Northland. And Sargonic Ilsatia was under Northic occupation for the duration of the war.

Northland now began a large offensive, and destroyed the Emperial fleet in the Battle of Trespassers isle. After making miscalculated landings in the Sunkwood Marshes, and liberating Emperial Marhland. The Empire was getting very stressed, they retreated to the Pellek Fields for a showdown that would decide the outcomeof the war. Whilst Northland was recovering from the bloodbath that was the Battle of the Sunkwood Marshes, they built defences and made a plan. They would capture so much of the Northic soldiers to use as hostages, forcing them to negotiate.

As the sun rose the two sides charged at eachother, but, in a miscalculated cavalry run, Emperial cavalry accidentaly killed their own soldiers. And confusion resulted in friendly fire as the Imperial army destroyed itself from the inside, a massive bloodbath of confusion, fear and gunshots as the army killed itself. The Northic army captured the remaining 700 soldiers and proceeded to the capital of Cartholon, where they would find the Consols and many generals, all of which would be executed two days later.

In the following treaty of Cartholon, the Runick Kingdom would be practically disolved and occupied by Rètteland, Marhland, Monzig and Northland. Ilsatia would come of relatively unscathed only loosing a few islands to Northland and having to pay war reperations + promising to never invade again which they would ignore 200 years later in the 60 years war. many Sargonic soldiers were forced to rebuild the cities in special `labor zones`.
