Full timeline of actions, responses and informations taken by the kingdom of Mlociniakik in the Mlaitsan-Crusadist War
Note- If you want to learn about the Holy mlaitse order's actions, please refer to this factbookA Rogue Holy Order is planning to conquer Palatine
In the days of the Great Algor-Mlocikian war, a secretive yet highly martial and devout Order was founded by decree of the Senate to counter the unceasing Cornish onslaughts and to aid in the war efforts. This noble assembly, known henceforth as the Holy mlaitse order, swiftly proved to be a wise and fortuitous choice. Under their valiant leadership, the Mlokisan army attained numerous victories o'er the Algorticans, shifting the balance of power in favor of Mlociniakik.
The Holy mlaitse order was renowned far and wide for its discipline, tactical prowess, and fervent piety. Their knights, adorned in armor emblazoned with sacred symbols, became the very embodiment of hope and fortitude for the people of Mlociniakik. Yet, as the war neared its end and triumph seemed within grasp, an astonishing and perplexing event didst transpire.
In a sudden and inexplicable turn, the Holy mlaitse order didst sever their bonds with the Senate and didst depart, abandoning their sworn duties. Leading a retinue of the most esteemed knights, they didst vanish from Mlociniakik. The reasons for their betrayal remain cloaked in mystery, with myriad theories whispered among the learned and the common folk alike. One such theory suggests that [redacted], though the truth eludes even the wisest of scholars.
Merely two days past, a foreboding missive was delivered to a knight remaining in Mlociniakik, borne by a swift bird. The message didst declare: "The Time has come, the legend survives, the terror lives in Palatine, much has to be done." This ominous proclamation hath sent tremors of fear throughout the realm, foretelling a dire threat from the once-loyal Holy mlaitse order.
As Mlociniakik doth prepare for this newfound peril, many questions linger. What hath driven the Holy mlaitse order to forsake their homeland and allies? What is the terror that lives of which they boast? And what are their true intentions toward Palatine? The Derfin Chronicle shall continue to observe these events with utmost diligence, bringing thee the latest tidings of this unfolding saga.
Proclamation from The Grand Kingdom of Mlociniakik
Loyal subjects and valiant allies,
It has come to our knowledge that the secretive and treacherous Holy mlaitse order, which had gone rogue, may have established their bases in the Harian Mountains. Whilst we cannot yet confirm their exact locations, we are vigilant and our scouts are ceaselessly seeking their hidden strongholds. We have also ascertained the identity of their nefarious leader, whose ambitions threaten the peace and stability of our realm.
In this time of trial, we are heartened by the unwavering support of the League of Palatine Realms, whose solidarity with Mlociniakik strengthens our resolve. Our profound gratitude extends to the The Crown of the Grand Duchy of Chineva, the Tsardom of Pravoslavi, and The Exarchate of New Galape Evoros. Their pledges of military aid fortify our defenses and embolden our warriors. Moreover, we are blessed with the ecclesiastical support of the current Ecumenical Patriarch of the Church of Palatine, whose spiritual guidance sustains our courage and conviction.
To our noble allies, we offer our deepest thanks. Your support is a beacon of hope and a testament to the bonds that unite us in the face of adversity. Together, we shall confront this menace, and with divine providence, we shall prevail.
In the name of Mlociniakik and for the glory of our united realms, we march forward with unyielding determination.
Military and Strategic Strengths of the Holy Maltiese Order:
Elite Knights:
The Holy mlaitse order comprises approximately 100 elite knights. These knights, though few in number, are highly skilled in both melee combat and strategic warfare.
Supporting Soldiers:
In addition to the elite knights, the Order has about 300 foot soldiers. Though not vast, these soldiers are well-trained and fiercely loyal to their cause.
Strategic Stronghold:
Their suspected base within the Harian Mountains provides a naturally fortified position that is difficult to assault. The mountainous terrain offers excellent defensive capabilities and strategic vantage points.
Guerrilla Warfare Tactics:
The Order excels in guerrilla warfare, utilizing the rugged terrain to launch surprise attacks and ambushes. Their knowledge of the land gives them an advantage in mobility and stealth operations.
Divine Motivation:
Driven by religious fervor, the Order’s soldiers are fanatically loyal and willing to sacrifice themselves for their cause. This zealotry makes them formidable opponents despite their limited numbers.
Secretive Operations:
The Order operates with a high level of secrecy, making it challenging for their enemies to gather intelligence. Their movements and plans are shrouded in mystery, adding to their unpredictability.
Skilled Archers:
The Order boasts a small cadre of approximately 50 skilled archers. These archers are adept at using the mountainous terrain to their advantage, providing effective ranged support during battles.
Religious Propaganda:
The Order employs religious propaganda to sway the hearts and minds of the people. They use sermons, proclamations, and fear tactics to undermine the morale of their enemies and gain sympathizers within Mlociniakik.
Resourceful Commanders:
The leaders of the Order are experienced and resourceful commanders. They are adept at making strategic decisions under pressure and are capable of turning the tide of battle through cunning and guile.
Supply Lines:
Despite their limited size, the Order has managed to secure and maintain hidden supply lines. These supply routes ensure they remain well-provisioned and capable of sustaining prolonged engagements.
Psychological Warfare:
The Order engages in psychological warfare, spreading fear and uncertainty among their enemies. Their cryptic and threatening messages, combined with surprise attacks, are designed to demoralize and destabilize opposing forces.
In the heart of the Holy mlaitse order's stronghold, deep within the labyrinthine caves of the Harian Mountains, a figure moved with quiet confidence. This figure, known to the Order as Brother Lucius, was believed to be a fervent sympathizer who had renounced the Kingdom of Mlociniakik to join their cause. But beneath the guise of loyalty and devotion lay a spy, sworn to serve King Adrian Avgentine of Mlociniakik.
Brother Lucius had arrived at the Order's base months earlier, bearing tales of disillusionment with Mlociniakik's leadership and a fervent desire to join the holy crusade of the Order. His convincing words and apparent zeal had earned him a place among their ranks. He was granted access to the inner sanctum, where the Order's leaders planned their next moves.
Lucius spent his days performing the duties expected of him, attending sermons, and engaging in the rituals of the Order. He had earned the trust of many, including high-ranking members who believed in his piety. Yet, each night, when the fires burned low and the Order's members slept, Lucius meticulously gathered information, committing every detail to memory.
One evening, as the Order's leaders convened to discuss their next strike, Lucius sat quietly in a corner, observing. The leaders spoke in hushed tones, revealing plans to attack the Kingdom of Chineva’s main trade routes, aiming to cripple their supply lines. Lucius knew this information was crucial and had to be conveyed to Mlociniakikwithout delay.
Under the cover of darkness, Lucius made his way to a secluded part of the mountain, where a hidden alcove concealed his communication tools. He carefully encoded the information and released a trained raven, which would carry the message to a contact in Mlociniakik. The raven, a symbol of hope, vanished into the night sky, its dark wings beating a silent path to the kingdom.
Days turned into weeks, and Lucius continued his covert operations, feeding crucial intelligence back to Mlociniakik. The kingdom, armed with this knowledge, was able to thwart several of the Order's plans, frustrating their leaders and sowing seeds of suspicion and discord within their ranks.
One fateful night, Lucius' luck ran out. As he was transmitting another message, a shadow emerged from the darkness. It was Brother Matthias, a shrewd and paranoid member of the Order, who had harbored doubts about Lucius from the beginning.
“What are you doing here, Brother Lucius?” Matthias inquired, his voice laced with suspicion.
Thinking quickly, Lucius replied, “I am praying, Brother Matthias, seeking guidance from the Almighty.”
But Matthias was not convinced. With a swift motion, he seized the encoded message and, upon deciphering it, realized the extent of Lucius' deception. Enraged, Matthias dragged Lucius before the Order's leaders, who convened an emergency council to decide his fate.
Despite the fervent pleas of Lucius, who claimed loyalty to the Order until the end, the evidence against him was irrefutable. The leaders, their trust betrayed and their plans compromised, sentenced him to death.
As dawn broke, Lucius was led to the edge of the mountain. With a final prayer, he was cast into the abyss below, his sacrifice a grim reminder of the high stakes in the war between the Kingdom of Mlociniakik and the Holy mlaitse order.
But Lucius' mission was not in vain. The intelligence he had provided allowed Mlociniakik to mount a formidable defense, and his name became a symbol of bravery and sacrifice in the annals of the kingdom's history.
Royal Decree from His Majesty King Adrian Avgentine
To the treacherous and heretical Holy mlaitse order,
Your cowardly and vile act of destruction upon our town has not gone unnoticed. You have brought death and ruin to innocent lives, thinking this would break our spirit. Yet, you have only strengthened our resolve and revealed the true nature of your depravity.
Know this: Mlociniakik stands united against your tyranny. Your actions have galvanized our people and our allies. We are not a kingdom that cowers in fear, but one that rises to meet the challenges before us. Your so-called divine mission is nothing but a mask for your insatiable thirst for power and control.
You believe you can strike fear into our hearts with fire and bloodshed. You are mistaken. The flames you have kindled have only ignited the indomitable spirit of Mlociniakik. We will rebuild our town, and for every stone you have torn down, we will raise a fortress of defiance.
To my brave people of Mlociniakik, let this atrocity not bring despair but a renewed commitment to our cause. We will honor the fallen by fighting with even greater determination. Our soldiers will be ready, our defenses fortified, and our hearts unyielding.
To our steadfast allies—the League of Palatine Realms, the Kingdom of Chineva, the Tsardom of Pravoslavi, the Kingdom of Evoros, and the Ecumenical Patriarch of the Church of Palatine and so on from various places from Palatine—your support has been and will continue to be invaluable. Together, we shall stand against this menace, and together, we shall triumph.
As for the Holy mlaitse order, heed my words: your days are numbered. Your strongholds will be found, your forces scattered, and your leaders brought to justice. There is no place for your brand of evil in Palatine. Prepare yourselves, for retribution is at hand. The forces of Mlociniakik and our allies will not rest until your threat is eradicated.
By the grace of Dimoris and the strength of our people, we will prevail. The light of justice shall pierce through the darkness of your tyranny.
May the righteous cause of Mlociniakik shine ever bright.
To the valiant people of Mlociniakik, our esteemed allies, and the nefarious Holy mlaitse order,
In response to the recent vile and unprovoked attack by the Holy mlaitse order upon our innocent town, the Kingdom of Mlociniakik hereby declares a state of full-scale war against this insidious faction. Their abhorrent actions have revealed them as a dire threat to the peace, prosperity, and divine order of our realm.
The Holy mlaitse order has shown its true colors: a force of malevolence masquerading under the guise of divine righteousness. They have brought death and destruction to our lands, slaughtered our people, and violated the sacred bonds of humanity. Such acts of barbarism cannot and will not go unpunished.
Therefore, I, King Adrian Avgentine of Mlociniakik, decree that we shall wage an unrelenting war against the Holy mlaitse order. Our aim is clear: to utterly destroy this organization and eradicate their influence from the lands of Palatine.
Our armies shall march with the fury of justice. Our knights, soldiers, and commanders are called to arms. We will strike at their strongholds, uncover their hidden bases in the Harian Mountains, and unleash the full might of our kingdom upon them. No refuge shall be spared from our righteous wrath.
To our steadfast supporters—the League of Palatine Realms, the Kingdom of Chineva, the Tsardom of Pravoslavi, the Kingdom of New Galape Evoros, and the current Ecumenical Patriarch of the Church of Palatine—your support has been invaluable. We urge you now to join us in this holy Crusade. Let us unite our forces and stand against this common enemy, combining our strength and resolve to bring about their ultimate destruction.
To the people of Mlociniakik, your courage and resilience are the foundation of our strength. Let this call to arms be a testament to our unyielding spirit. We fight not only for our lands but for justice, peace, and the sanctity of our shared faith.
As for the Holy mlaitse order, know this: your days are numbered. The atrocities you have committed will be avenged. The flames you kindled in our town will be extinguished by the overwhelming force of our united armies. You have sown the wind, and now you shall reap the whirlwind.
We shall not rest until the last remnant of your foul order is eradicated, and peace is restored to our lands. By the grace of God and the strength of our resolve, we will bring an end to your reign of terror.
Let this proclamation echo through the annals of history: Mlociniakik, marches to war. The Holy mlaitse order will be destroyed, and justice will prevail.
To the People of Mlociniakik, Our Esteemed Allies, and the Kingdom of Weser Amatland,
It has come to our attention that the Council of Rightfulness in Weser Amatland has chosen to support the Holy mlaitse order in their misguided and rebellious actions. Their alignment with the Order, under the pretext of self-defense, is a direct affront to the honor and integrity of the Kingdom of Mlociniakik and the divine faith of Dimoris (Mlatonicism).
Weser Amatland's decision to back an entity that seeks to undermine and challenge the rightful order, and to do so under the banner of a false cause, cannot go unanswered. Their open support of Belemism, in direct opposition to our sacred Mlatonicism, further exacerbates the existing tensions between our realms.
Therefore, with a heavy heart but a resolute spirit, I, King Adrian Avgentine of Mlociniakik, hereby declare a state of war against Weser Amatland. Their alignment with the Holy mlaitse order and their continued support of a heretical faith pose an intolerable threat to our sovereignty, our faith, and the stability of the region.
Our forces are mobilized and ready. We will advance with unwavering determination, targeting the strongholds of Weser Amatland and their allies. We shall not rest until their capacity to support the Holy mlaitse order is obliterated and their influence is diminished.
To the citizens of Mlociniakik and our allies, know that we fight not only for our own sovereignty but for the preservation of our faith, our way of life, and the rightful order of the world. We enter this conflict with the conviction of righteousness, fortified by the divine guidance of Mlatonicism.
May the light of Dimoris guide us in this just war and may justice prevail over tyranny and heresy.
To the Honorable Dux de Mlockia, the Esteemed Aestian Guard, and the Noble Forces of New Galape Evoros,
We receive your message with great gratitude and unwavering respect. Your arrival and the support of 1000 men, including the renowned Aestian Guard, are welcomed with open arms. The Kingdom of Mlociniakik is honored by your commitment to our shared cause and the valor you bring to the battlefield.
The news of your swift action following the martyrdom of our town is a testament to the solidarity and bravery that binds our nations. Your willingness to ride out of Derfin and confront the rebels is a beacon of hope and strength in these turbulent times.
Our forces are currently stationed in strategic positions along the Harian Mountains, prepared to engage the Holy mlaitse order with precision and determination. The main body of our army is fortified in the western valleys, with additional detachments securing the northern passes to prevent any escape or reinforcement of the enemy. We have also established communication lines with our allied forces to ensure coordinated strikes and effective maneuvers.
We shall provide you with detailed maps and intelligence reports to facilitate the synchronization of our efforts. Together, our combined forces will crush the pretenders and restore peace and order to the region.
The addendum regarding the title and position of the Dux de Mlockia is duly noted. Rest assured, there is no misunderstanding regarding his role or allegiance. We recognize and appreciate his position as a provincial commander and his unwavering support for the legitimate authority of the Kingdom of Mlociniakik.
May the divine light of Dimoris guide us all in this righteous endeavor. With the strength of our combined forces and the favor of the gods, we shall vanquish the enemies of peace and justice.
By my hand and seal,
King Adrian Avgentine of Mlociniakik
The Dark Genesis of the Holy Mlaitse Order:
In the annals of Mlociniakik, a tale of betrayal and fervent zealotry took root, leading to the rise of the Holy mlaitse order. This saga begins with Sir Dragan Valerios, a knight of unparalleled military acumen and a devout follower of Mlatonicism, the dominant religion of the realm. Valerios was not content with the tolerant and inclusive practices of King Silona III, who permitted the coexistence of other religions alongside Mlatonicism.
The Brainwashing of Knights:
Valerios, influenced by the teachings of a radical prophet named Kaisicc the Fanatic, began to secretly indoctrinate a group of knights. Kaisicc, a prophet with a dark vision, preached an extreme version of Mlatonicism, advocating for the complete eradication of all other faiths within the kingdom. He saw the king's tolerance as a grave sin and believed that only through strict adherence to his twisted interpretation could true purity and favor from the gods be achieved.
Under Valerios's guidance, these knights were brainwashed into believing that they were the true protectors of the kingdom's faith. They were convinced that the king's policies were leading Mlociniakik astray and that a holy purge was necessary to cleanse the realm. This group, bound by their radical beliefs, began to operate in secret, planning their move to impose their will upon the kingdom.
The King's Discovery and Valerios's Execution
However, whispers of dissent reached the ears of King Silona. Aware of the growing discontent within his ranks, he initiated a covert investigation, uncovering Valerios's treacherous plot. The king acted swiftly, arresting Valerios and his closest followers. In a public display of justice, Valerios was sentenced to death for his treason, an attempt to quash the insidious rebellion brewing within his own knights.
The Exodus to the Harian Mountains
Despite the execution of their leader, the indoctrinated knights remained steadfast in their beliefs. Fearing for their lives but determined to uphold their cause, they fled to the Harian Mountains, a remote and rugged region that provided natural fortifications against the king's forces. There, they declared their secession from the monarchy, vowing to overthrow the "corrupt" regime that they believed had betrayed the true faith.
The Holy Mlaitse Order
In the Harian Mountains, these rogue knights established the Holy mlaitse order. Under the leadership of Sir Gavril Ardent, one of Valerios's most trusted lieutenants, they began to fortify their positions and gather resources for their holy war. Ardent, a fervent disciple of Kaisicc's teachings, led the Order with an iron fist, ensuring that every member was unwaveringly loyal to their cause.
The Order's interpretation of Mlatonicism was draconian and unforgiving. They saw themselves as the divine hand of justice, destined to purge the land of heresy and restore the true faith. Their strict code and brutal methods quickly made them a force to be reckoned with, and their presence became a looming threat to the stability of Mlociniakik.
Declaration of War
From their mountain strongholds, the Holy mlaitse order declared war on the monarchy, renouncing King Silona III and his policies. They proclaimed that they would not rest until the kingdom was purified and the true faith was restored. Their attacks on strategic locations and towns were not just acts of rebellion but divine retribution, as they saw it, against those who had strayed from the path.
The stage was set for a conflict that would test the very foundations of Mlociniakik, pitting the king's loyal forces against the fanatical zeal of the Holy mlaitse order. As the kingdom braced for war, the legacy of Sir Dragan Valerios and the twisted teachings of Kaisicc the Fanatic cast a long and ominous shadow over the land.
Declaration of Attack on the Holy mlaitse order
King Adrian Avgentine stood before his assembled generals and advisors, the air heavy with anticipation. It was the month of August in the year 1424, the crisp autumn air providing a perfect backdrop for the imminent campaign. The time had come to strike against the Holy mlaitse order, the rogue knights who had defied the crown and terrorized the realm.
"Honored advisors and valiant generals," King Adrian began, his voice resolute, "the time has come to bring justice to the traitors who have fled to the Harian Mountains. Our forces are prepared, and we will advance from the western approaches of the mountains, pressing onward until we reach Lower Chanauga. The terrain will be challenging, but the autumn weather is on our side, sparing us from the harshness of winter."
Strategic Plans:
The retinues of Mlociniakik, numbering among the kingdom’s finest warriors, were ready to launch the offensive. The plan was meticulously crafted, with each unit knowing its role in the grand strategy.
Western Approach: The main force, led by the king himself, would push through the western passes of the Harian Mountains. This route, though arduous, would allow them to surprise the enemy, avoiding the more heavily fortified eastern defenses.
Scouting and Reconnaissance: Light cavalry units, known for their speed and agility, would scout ahead, identifying any hidden bases or ambush points. Their mission was to gather intelligence and ensure the main force could advance unimpeded.
Securing Lower Chanauga: Once the western passes are secured, the forces would descend into Lower Chanauga, sweeping through the region to root out any remnants of the Order. This area is known to harbor sympathizers, and it is crucial to eliminate any potential threats.
Orders to Allies:
"To our esteemed allies," King Adrian continued, "we advise every retinue to remain at attention and vigilant for any raids. The Holy mlaitse order is cunning and may attempt to disrupt our plans through guerrilla tactics. Your support is invaluable, and your readiness to respond to any threat will be the key to our success."
Evorosian Retinues: The 1,000 men, along with the Aestian Guard, would move up alonjside Te Mlocikian Forces for a main assault.
Chineva Forces: These forces would secure the borders and supply lines, ensuring that Mlociniakik’s troops could advance without logistical disruptions.
Pravoslavian Forces: Considering the distance between Derfin And the main lands of Pravoslavi, The Pravoslavian Forces would hold strategic positions around Derfin, ready to provide reinforcements and counter any flanking maneuvers by the enemy.
Final Preparations:
As the final plans were laid out, King Adrian looked over his assembled commanders. "We march not just for the kingdom, but for the sanctity of our faith and the safety of our people. The Holy mlaitse order will pay for their treachery. We will not rest until the traitors are brought to justice and peace is restored to Mlociniakik."
With that, the signal was given. The retinues of Mlociniakik began their march, their armor gleaming in the autumn sun, ready to reclaim their land and crush the rogue knights who dared to defy their king. The campaign to the Harian Mountains has begun, and the fate of the Holy mlaitse order hangs in the balance.
Preparations for an Assault on Weser Amatland
King Adrian Avgentine stood in the war room, a large map of the region spread out before him. While the primary focus remained on crushing the Holy mlaitse order, the king and his advisors knew that Weser Amatland, with its support for the Order and its opposing religious beliefs, could not be ignored.
Strategic Planning:
Initial Focus on the Order: The bulk of Mlociniakik's forces are committed to the assault on the Holy mlaitse order in the Harian Mountains. The plan is to advance from the west, sweep through the region, and secure Lower Chanauga. This campaign is expected to be swift and decisive.
Secondary Front Against Weser Amatland: Though not the primary focus, preparations for an eventual assault on Weser Amatland are underway. Scouts and spies are already gathering intelligence on enemy positions, defenses, and potential weaknesses.
Logistical Preparations: Supply lines were being fortified to support a prolonged campaign. Armories are stocked, and provisions were gathered to ensure that the troops would be well-equipped and sustained throughout the upcoming conflicts.
Message from King Adrian Avgentine:
"To the brave soldiers of Mlociniakik," King Adrian addressed his assembled troops, "our mission is twofold. First, we shall rid our kingdom of the treacherous Holy mlaitse order. Then, we will turn our might upon Weser Amatland. They have chosen to support our enemies and oppose our faith. We will bring justice to them as well. Remain steadfast and ready, for once we have dealt with the Order, our swords will turn towards Weser Amatland. Victory will be ours, and Mlociniakik will stand unchallenged in its righteousness."
With the plans laid out, Mlociniakik's forces were ready. The kingdom stood united, prepared to face its enemies on all fronts, with unwavering determination to protect its lands and uphold its faith.
The armies of Mlociniakik march forward with relentless determination, making significant gains against the Holy mlaitse order. Our forces, bolstered by knights and professional soldiers, have successfully captured several towns that once belonged to the ancient Kingdom of Furosia but had fallen into the hands of the Order. These victories bring us halfway to our objective of reaching Lower Chanauga, tightening our grip on the region.
Meanwhile, our troops have also advanced to the borders of Weser Amatland, capturing key cities along the way. This swift and decisive action has sent shockwaves through the enemy ranks. The Council of Rightfulness, upon hearing of our approach, has fled to a deep underground cave, seeking refuge from the inevitable clash. Their armies, too, have retreated, understanding that this war will be one of survival—a test of their endurance against the might of Mlociniakik.
The tide of war has turned in our favor, and we press on, ready to crush those who dare stand against us.
Proclamation of Victory: The Battle of Stoines Town
In the year of our Lord, upon the hallowed fields of Stoines Town, the valiant forces of Mlociniakik have secured a glorious victory. This day shall be remembered in the annals of our kingdom, for the blood of many was spilled, and the flames of battle raged fierce, yet through divine providence and the courage of our men, the forces of the Holy Mlaitse Order have been vanquished.
The Struggle at Stoines
As our brave soldiers reached the outskirts of Stoines Town, they were met with formidable resistance from the accursed Holy Mlaitse Order. The town, fortified by the enemy, became a crucible of steel and fire, where our warriors fought with unmatched fervor. The clash was fierce, and the ground trembled beneath the weight of our charge. The enemy, cunning and resolute, sought to break our advance, encircling a key detachment of our forces in their snare.
For many hours, the battle raged with neither side yielding, and the cries of the wounded mingled with the clash of swords. Our cause seemed bleak as the enemy pressed their advantage, threatening to overwhelm our ranks.
The Heroic Deed of Sir Alaric
Yet, when hope seemed all but lost, a knight of great renown, Sir Alaric of Durhavn, took upon himself a deed of daring. Gathering a small band of loyal knights, Sir Alaric did spur his horse and charge into the heart of the enemy's lines. With sword and shield, he cut through the foe, breaking their ranks and freeing the encircled men. His valorous act did not go unnoticed, for it rekindled the spirits of our soldiers, who, inspired by his bravery, did rally to his banner.
With renewed strength and purpose, our forces pressed the attack, driving the Order’s men from the field and claiming Stoines Town in the name of King and country. By nightfall, the banners of Mlociniakik flew over the town, and the enemy fled in disarray.
The King's Response
When word of this triumph reached the ears of our noble sovereign, King Adrian Avgentine, his heart swelled with pride. In the great hall, before his assembled court, the king did speak of the bravery and sacrifice of his men, with special praise for Sir Alaric, whose name shall be sung by bards for generations to come.
“The deeds of our soldiers at Stoines Town,” declared the king, “shall stand as a testament to the righteousness of our cause. By the grace of the Almighty, we have struck a mighty blow against those who would seek to defile our land and our faith. Sir Alaric, through his gallant action, has shown us that even in the darkest hour, the light of courage and honor shall prevail.”
The Road Ahead
The capture of Stoines Town marks a pivotal moment in our holy campaign. With this victory, our forces stand poised to continue their march towards Lower Chanauga, tightening our grip upon the region and bringing justice to those who defy the will of the crown.
As this news spreads throughout the realms, let all know that Mlociniakik’s resolve remains unbroken. We shall press on, guided by the light of our cause, until peace and order are restored to these troubled lands. Let all who hear this proclamation take heart, for the kingdom of Mlociniakik shall prevail.
ollowing the decisive victory at Stoines Town, the leadership of Mlociniakik convened to chart the course for the final phase of our campaign against the Holy mlaitse order. The battle at Stoines has not only solidified our dominance but also opened new opportunities to crush the remnants of the Order and secure lasting peace in the region.
Strategic Objectives:
Securing the Harian Mountains:
With the enemy routed at Stoines, our forces will continue their advance into the heart of the Harian Mountains, where the Order has long sought refuge. The terrain is treacherous, but the victory at Stoines has weakened the Order’s hold, and our scouts have already begun identifying key passes and strongholds.
A combined force of knights, light cavalry, and infantry will be deployed to systematically clear the mountain passes, rooting out any remaining pockets of resistance. The ultimate goal is to sever the Order's supply lines and isolate their remaining forces from any potential support.
Targeting the Order’s Leadership:
Intelligence gathered from the battle indicates that the Order’s leadership is in disarray. With their forces scattered, now is the time to strike at their command structure. Our spies and informants are being tasked with locating the hideouts of the remaining leaders.
Once identified, these locations will be targeted with precision strikes, utilizing our most elite units to capture or eliminate the Order’s commanders. This will further demoralize their followers and hasten the collapse of their resistance.
Consolidating Control over Captured Towns:
The towns reclaimed from the Order, including those once belonging to the Kingdom of Furosia, are being fortified and brought under direct control of Mlociniakik. Garrisons are being established, and local populations are being brought into the fold through a combination of military presence and religious guidance.
The burning of the statues of Kaisicc was but the first step; now, we will work to restore the true faith of Mlatonicism in these regions. Priests and monks are being sent to guide the people back to the righteous path, ensuring that the influence of the Order is permanently eradicated.
Final Assault on Lower Chanauga:
Our forces are preparing for a coordinated assault on Lower Chanauga, a key objective in breaking the Order’s power. With our armies already halfway there, the plan is to encircle and besiege the city, cutting off any escape routes and forcing a swift surrender.
Siege equipment is being brought forward, and the most experienced commanders are being placed in charge of this critical operation. Once Lower Chanauga falls, the path to total victory will be clear.
Preparing for the Campaign Against Weser Amatland:
While the focus remains on defeating the Order, preparations are already underway for the next phase of our campaign. The capture of key cities near the Weser Amatland border has set the stage for a broader conflict.
Troops are being strategically positioned, and supply lines are being secured in anticipation of a full-scale invasion once the Order is dealt with. Weser Amatland’s defiance will not go unpunished, and Mlociniakikwill ensure that no threat remains to challenge our dominance.
Conclusion:
The victory at Stoines Town marks a turning point in our struggle against the Holy mlaitse order. With our plans now in place, we move forward with confidence, knowing that the end of this conflict is within sight. King Adrian Avgentine, having led us to this moment, continues to inspire and guide our forces toward the complete and utter destruction of our enemies. Soon, the Order will be nothing more than a memory, and Mlociniakik will stand as the unchallenged power in the region.
Raid on Imperial Gold Mines Repelled by Mlociniakik Forces:
In a bold but ultimately futile attempt, a detachment of the Holy mlaitse order launched a surprise raid on the Imperial gold mines in the eastern Harian Mountains. These mines, which are crucial to the wealth of Palatine, were targeted by the Order in an effort to disrupt the supply of precious metals that fuel the war effort against them.
The attack began under the cover of darkness, with the Order's forces slipping through the mountain passes and descending upon the mining outpost. They managed to inflict some damage, setting fire to equipment and scattering the miners. For a brief moment, it appeared that the Order might succeed in crippling one of the Empire's key economic assets.
However, the swift response of Mlociniakik's forces turned the tide. Having anticipated such an attack, King Adrian Avgentine had stationed a contingent of knights and soldiers near the mines to safeguard them. Upon hearing of the raid, these forces quickly mobilized and arrived at the scene just as the Order's troops were attempting to expand their assault.
The arrival of Mlociniakik's forces caught the Order by surprise. A fierce skirmish ensued, with the knights of Mlociniakik leading the charge to repel the attackers. Though the Order fought with desperation, they were ultimately outmatched by the disciplined and well-armed Mlociniakik troops. Realizing the futility of their efforts, the Order's forces retreated into the mountains, abandoning their attempt to seize the mines.
The damage inflicted by the raid was limited, and the mines remain firmly under Imperial control. The miners have returned to their work, and repairs to the damaged equipment are already underway. Though the raid was a small-scale operation, it serves as a reminder that the Order remains a threat, even as their power wanes.
King Adrian Avgentine praised his troops for their swift and decisive action, emphasizing the importance of maintaining vigilance as the campaign against the Holy mlaitse order continues. The defense of the mines is yet another victory in the broader effort to crush the Order and bring lasting peace to the region.
In the desolate and lawless town of Raventhorne, where crumbling buildings bear witness to the departure of most of its population long ago, there is an eerie silence. The town is now little more than a shadow of its former self, a forsaken place where chaos reigns, and no authority dares to impose order. Few souls remain, scraping by in a world of despair and abandonment.
But on this day, Raventhorne becomes the stage for a brutal conflict. Mlociniakik's forces, hardened by battle, march upon the town, seeking to root out the last vestiges of resistance from the Holy mlaitse order. The garrison within Raventhorne is small, only a meager force left behind to defend a place that many had already forgotten.
As Mlociniakik's troops approach, the Order's defenders scramble to mount a defense. These men, hardened by their loyalty and zealotry, have little left to fight for but their pride and their cause. Yet even they know that their numbers are too few and their chances too slim.
The battle erupts with the crack of steel and the roar of war cries. Mlociniakik's soldiers, disciplined and determined, break through the weak defenses with relative ease. The streets of Raventhorne, once devoid of purpose, now echo with the sounds of combat. The few defenders are quickly overwhelmed, retreating to the dark alleys and crumbling buildings in a desperate attempt to regroup.
But there is no refuge in this cursed town. One by one, the Order's men fall, their cries for mercy lost in the chaos. Mlociniakik's forces push forward relentlessly, their objective clear: to extinguish the last flames of rebellion.
By the time the sun sets, Raventhorne has become a graveyard for the Order's ambitions. The town, already desolate, is left even more hollowed out by the violence that swept through its streets. Yet, for Mlociniakik, this victory is just another step toward their ultimate goal.
Raventhorne, once a place of desolation, has now become a symbol of the Order's inevitable downfall.
The march to Lower Chanauga proves to be a challenging endeavor for Mlocikian forces. Despite their determination, progress is slowed by the relentless guerrilla tactics employed by the Holy mlaitse order. Ambushes, hit-and-run assaults, and sabotage efforts have forced the troops to remain vigilant at all times. Yet, despite these challenges, Mlocikian forces have managed to secure several Order's bases and watchtowers, tightening their grip on the region.
Amidst these efforts, scouts have discovered a heavily fortified stronghold just north of Lower Chanauga. Rumors suggest that the leaders of the Order are holed up within, preparing for a final stand. This fortress, surrounded by thick walls and defended by the most loyal of the Order's followers, is believed to be their last line of defense.
In response, Mlociniakik has ordered reinforcements to be dispatched to deal with this bastion of resistance. The belief is strong: if this fortress falls, the Order will be crushed once and for all, and their reign of terror will come to an end.
Simultaneously, the forces have established camps on the borders of Weser Amatland, ready to strike once the order is given. While the focus remains on the conquest of the Order's last defenses, the looming conflict with Weser Amatland lingers, with the Mlocikian soldiers prepared for the battles that lie ahead.
In a recent skirmish on the outskirts of the Harian Mountains, Mlocikian forces clashed with a small detachment of the Holy mlaitse order. The battle was swift but fierce, with the Mlocikian troops emerging victorious. However, before they could capture the enemy entirely, the Order’s men retreated into the dense forest near the battlefield, vanishing like shadows into the wilderness.
As the Mlocikian soldiers searched the battlefield, they discovered a leather bag left behind by the leader of the enemy detachment. Inside, they found a worn diary filled with hastily scribbled notes. Upon inspection, the writings revealed a disturbing plan. The Order, it seems, is not merely content with holding out against Mlociniakik—they are plotting to breach into other realms, spreading their extreme beliefs to ignite a revolution.
The diary outlines covert operations to infiltrate neighboring nations, sowing discord and converting disillusioned citizens to their cause. These plans, if left unchecked, could lead to widespread unrest and the possible collapse of established governments, allowing the Order to rise from the ashes with a following much larger and more dangerous than before.
This revelation has raised alarms within Mlociniakik's leadership. The forces are now on high alert, not just to defend against direct attacks, but to thwart any attempts by the Order to spread their radical ideology beyond their current borders. The skirmish, though a victory, serves as a grim reminder that the battle against the Order is far from over. The enemy may be weakened, but their resolve to disrupt the realm remains as strong as ever.
The armies of Mlociniakik have finally reached the gates of Lower Chanauga, their journey marked by countless battles and skirmishes. The town, now fortified by the Holy mlaitse order, stands as the last major stronghold before the final reckoning. Preparations for a prolonged siege are underway, with the forces of Mlociniakik setting up their encampments, readying themselves for what is expected to be a brutal and decisive confrontation.
The soldiers, weary but resolute, understand that this siege will not be easily won. Reports indicate that the Order has gathered all its remaining strength within Lower Chanauga, preparing to make its last stand. The walls of the town are heavily guarded, and the defenders are prepared for a fight to the death.
As the Mlocikian forces tighten their grip on the surrounding areas, they have captured several small towns previously occupied by the Order. These towns, once neglected and oppressed, are now under the watchful eye of Mlociniakik, with measures being taken to stabilize and restore them to order.
Reinforcements for the siege are expected to arrive soon, though likely after the siege has begun. King Adrian Avgentine knows that this will be a long and grueling campaign, but he is determined to see it through to the end. The forces are ready, and the stage is set for a monumental battle that will determine the fate of the region.
Lower Chanauga, a town that has seen the rise and fall of many powers, now stands on the brink of a new chapter. The coming days will decide whether it will fall to the might of Mlociniakik or if the Order will make one final stand that could turn the tide of the war. The soldiers prepare, the banners are raised, and the siege is about to begin.
The siege of Lower Chanauga begins under the cold autumn sky, with the forces of Mlociniakik encircling the fortified town in a well-coordinated maneuver. The town's high walls and sturdy gates, manned by the determined defenders of the Holy mlaitse order, present a formidable challenge. Yet, King Adrian Avgentine and his commanders are resolute, their plans meticulously crafted for the long and arduous task ahead.
The Mlocikian forces establish a series of siege camps around Lower Chanauga, with each camp strategically positioned to block any attempts by the defenders to break out or receive reinforcements. Siege engines are constructed with haste and precision: battering rams, trebuchets, and catapults are readied to weaken the town's defenses. The artillery is positioned to launch a relentless barrage upon the walls, intending to breach them and pave the way for an assault.
Provisions are carefully rationed, with the soldiers well-supplied for the long siege. The camps are fortified with wooden palisades, and watchtowers are erected to keep a constant vigil over any movement from within the town. The soldiers are reminded daily of the importance of their mission, knowing that the fall of Lower Chanauga could break the back of the Order's resistance.
The plan is to steadily wear down the defenders through a combination of bombardment and psychological warfare. Sappers are sent to undermine the walls, creating weak points for future breaches. Meanwhile, messengers deliver demands for surrender, coupled with promises of mercy for those who lay down their arms. The defenders, however, remain defiant, unwilling to yield to the encroaching forces.
As the siege progresses, King Adrian Avgentine turns his thoughts to the fortress lying to the north of Lower Chanauga, rumored to be the final stronghold of the Order's leaders. The fortress, heavily guarded and nearly impregnable, is a concern for later. The King knows that to secure victory, Lower Chanauga must first fall. Only then can the full might of Mlociniakik be brought to bear on this final bastion of resistance.
The siege is expected to be long and grueling, but with every day, the resolve of Mlociniakik's forces only strengthens. They know that after Lower Chanauga falls, they will march north to the fortress, where the final confrontation with the Order's leaders will take place. For now, they focus on the task at hand, tightening the noose around Lower Chanauga, ready to strike when the time is right.
Advancements in the Siege of Lower Chanauga
As the siege of Lower Chanauga intensifies, the forces of Mlociniakik continue to press forward with strategic precision. Under the command of seasoned generals, the army has begun to make incremental yet significant advancements against the entrenched defenders of the Holy mlaitse order.
In the early hours of the third day, Mlocikian engineers succeeded in constructing a series of siege towers, which were swiftly advanced toward the outer walls of the city. Under the cover of darkness, our forces launched a surprise assault, using the towers to breach the battlements. This tactic allowed our soldiers to gain a foothold on the walls, driving back the defenders and securing a crucial section of the outer defenses.
Meanwhile, a contingent of Mlocikian sappers worked tirelessly to undermine a key gatehouse on the eastern side of the city. Their efforts bore fruit as they successfully collapsed the foundation of the gate, creating a breach through which our infantry poured into the city. Though the defenders mounted a fierce counterattack, the discipline and resolve of our troops ensured that the breach remained under our control.
In the southern quarter, our archers and crossbowmen have gained the upper hand in a series of skirmishes, gradually wearing down the defenders with a relentless barrage of arrows. This has allowed our forces to advance their siege lines, bringing our catapults and trebuchets within range of the city's inner defenses.
Despite these gains, the defenders of Lower Chanauga continue to fight with desperate tenacity, knowing that the fall of the city would be a devastating blow to the Holy mlaitse order. However, the resolve of Mlociniakik remains unshaken. The siege is far from over, but with each passing day, our forces draw closer to victory.
As the siege continues, our commanders remain vigilant, adapting their strategies to overcome the stubborn resistance of the enemy. Reinforcements are expected to arrive soon, bolstering our ranks and ensuring that the final push to capture Lower Chanauga will be overwhelming and decisive.
The Order may resist, but the tide of war has shifted. Lower Chanauga will fall, and with it, the last stronghold of the Holy mlaitse order will be within our grasp.
To the Holy mlaitse order and Lady Khyber ir'Platan of the Khyberian Regime,
It has come to our attention that the Holy mlaitse order has aligned itself with Lady Khyber ir'Platan in a desperate attempt to cling to power. Your plans to support each other in a futile alliance will not go unanswered.
We, the forces of Mlociniakik, have long stood against the spread of corruption and heresy that you both embody. Khyber, your treachery will be your downfall, as will the misguided alliance you’ve formed with the Order.
Our strategy is clear: the siege of Lower Chanauga will proceed with renewed vigor. Reinforcements will be sent to bolster our ranks, ensuring that your paltry forces will be crushed before they can make any significant impact. The elite troops and siege weaponry you have dispatched will find nothing but death and defeat awaiting them at our walls. We will show no mercy to those who stand against us, whether they be misguided soldiers or blasphemous zealots.
But our plans extend beyond Lower Chanauga. We are aware of the fortress to the north, where the leaders of your Order have taken refuge. This stronghold, which you believe to be your last bastion, will fall. Once Lower Chanauga is in our hands, we will turn our full might against this fortress, laying waste to its walls and slaughtering every last defender within. We know that this will be your final stand, and when we conquer it, the Holy mlaitse order will be destroyed once and for all.
As for you, Khyber, your days are numbered. Our spies are already working within your ranks, sowing discord and turning your own followers against you. When the time is right, you will be overthrown, not by an external force, but by those you once trusted. The people of Bronzehamut will see through your lies, and they will rise up to reclaim their lands from your twisted rule. We will strike with precision, eliminating you and your loyalists before you can spread your vile creed any further.
Know this: Mlociniakik will not rest until both your regimes lie in ruins. We will tear down your strongholds, burn your heretical texts, and erase your names from history. The rightful order will be restored, and the true faith will prevail.
Signed,
King Adrian Avgentine of Mlociniakik
League Commissioner of the Palatine Realms
Guardian of the True Faith
Mlociniakik forces have dispatched squads of knights for Bronzehamut to track down and hunt Khyberian supporters, with the hope of capturing Khyber herself before she can reach the Holy mlaitse order's fortress. However, the full might of Mlociniakik's forces remains focused on the ongoing siege at Lower Chanauga. With the arrival of reinforcements, the siege intensifies as Mlociniakik troops make significant progress, pushing deeper into the city's defenses and tightening their grip on the beleaguered Order's stronghold. The strategy is clear: secure Lower Chanauga, and then turn their attention to Khyber and her remaining allies.
The siege of Lower Chanauga continues with renewed vigor, bolstered by the arrival of reinforcements. Mlociniakik forces have successfully breached several key defensive positions within the city, capturing strategic points that have weakened the Order's ability to resist. Several watchtowers and minor fortifications around the city have fallen into Mlociniakik hands, providing advantageous positions to control the flow of the battle.
In addition to these advances, our forces have successfully cut off key supply lines to the fortress, further isolating the remaining Order troops within Lower Chanauga. The Mlociniakik army has also managed to secure and stabilize small towns previously held by the Order, ensuring that the enemy's influence continues to wane across the region.
While the focus remains on the siege, smaller contingents of knights are actively pursuing Khyberian supporters, attempting to intercept them before they can reach the heavily guarded Holy mlaitse order's fortress. The situation is tense, but the momentum is clearly on the side of Mlociniakik.
Update on the Siege of Lower Chanauga:
Mlociniakik forces have made significant progress in the siege of Lower Chanauga, capturing more than half of the city. The siege is intensifying, and our forces are hopeful that a breakthrough is imminent. Reinforcements have arrived, strengthening our position and allowing us to push further into enemy territory. In addition, we've captured several Mlaitsan sympathizers attempting to migrate to Nientonia, which we believe is part of a larger scheme orchestrated by the Holy mlaitse order.
Suspected Mlaitse Sympathizer Activity:
Our intelligence suggests that the Holy mlaitse order is actively spreading their influence by sending sympathizers to various realms. We believe their primary targets are the realms south of the Harian Mountains. This development raises concerns about the potential for increased Mlaitse influence in these regions, and we are closely monitoring the situation to counter any attempts to destabilize our allies or spread their ideology.
Breaking News: Siege of Lower Chanauga Intensifies
Mlociniakik forces have successfully breached the walls of Lower Chanauga. Our troops are now engaged in constant and fierce battles against the Knights of Mlaitse within the city. The enemy is putting up a strong resistance, but our forces remain determined and relentless in their advance.
The city is a chaotic battleground, with clashes occurring in the streets and buildings. Our knights are showing great valor, and we are steadily gaining ground. Despite the intense fighting, we are confident that victory is within reach. Reinforcements continue to arrive, bolstering our strength and morale.
This breakthrough marks a significant milestone in our campaign against the Holy mlaitse order. We will continue to press on until Lower Chanauga is fully under our control, and the threat posed by the Order is eradicated.
Response from the Kingdom of Mlociniakik
To the People and Government of Chineva,
The Kingdom of Mlociniakik stands in solidarity with Chineva and all realms threatened by the vile Holy mlaitse order. The incursion of these heretics into Nietonia, and their desecration of Arlberg and Brandonstadt, is an affront that cannot and will not go unanswered. We commend the swift and decisive actions taken by the Government of Chineva to curb this menace and bring justice to those who suffered under the Mlaitse onslaught.
As for our own efforts, we are pleased to report significant progress in our campaign against the Holy Mlaitse Order in Lower Chanauga. Our forces have successfully eliminated and captured nearly all Mlaitse troops and levies in the region. We are currently conducting thorough inspections to ensure all threats have been neutralized. Once we are certain of the region's security, we will establish our camps in Lower Chanauga and prepare for the next phase of our campaign.
With reinforcements en route to Lower Chanauga, we are poised to capture additional strongholds of the Holy Mlaitse Order. Our sights are set on their remaining bastions, and we will not rest until these heretics are completely eradicated. The final battle, the siege of the Mlaitse fortress, looms on the horizon. This confrontation will be one of the most significant and decisive engagements in the history of Mlociniakik and the entire Palatine region.
Our forces are determined, our resolve unbreakable. The Holy Mlaitse Order will fall, and the peace and security of our realms will be restored. We call upon all allies and those who cherish freedom and justice to stand with us in this crucial moment.
By the decree of King Adrian Avgentine, Kingdom of Mlociniakik
Strategic Preparations for the Assault on the Mlaitse Fortress
With the arrival of fresh recruitments, the Mlocikian army, battle-worn but now well-rested, stood ready to launch a decisive assault on the Mlaitse fortress. The soldiers, having received proper rest and resupply, were revitalized, their morale high, and their determination unwavering.
The Strategic Plan:
Reconnaissance and Intelligence Gathering:
Scouts and spies have been deployed to gather critical information about the fortress. They have mapped the terrain, identified weaknesses in the fortress’s defenses, and pinpointed the location of key targets within the stronghold.
Diversionary Tactics:
A small detachment will create a diversion at the northern gate, drawing the Mlaitse forces’ attention and resources away from the primary point of attack. This will involve a series of hit-and-run skirmishes to sow confusion and stretch their defenses thin.
Main Assault:
The main body of the Mlocikian army, led by Commander Sir Areon, will launch a coordinated assault from the west. This force will include siege engines, such as trebuchets and battering rams, to breach the outer walls. Archers will provide cover fire to suppress enemy defenders on the ramparts.
Special Forces Infiltration:
A select group of elite knights and infiltrators will use the intelligence gathered to enter the fortress through a less-guarded entrance, possibly a hidden passage or an old sally port. Their objective will be to neutralize key leaders of the Mlaitse Order and create internal chaos.
Encirclement and Siege:
Once the walls are breached, the forces will quickly establish control of the outer perimeter, encircling the fortress completely. This will prevent any reinforcements or escape attempts by the Mlaitse forces. The army will then systematically advance inward, clearing each section of resistance.
Shock and Awe:
Heavy cavalry units will be held in reserve, ready to charge through the breached gates at the opportune moment, delivering a powerful blow to the remaining defenders and breaking their will to fight.
Psychological Warfare:
Messages will be sent via arrows and messengers to the defenders, offering terms of surrender and emphasizing the futility of resistance. The promise of mercy to those who lay down arms and the threat of total annihilation to those who resist will be clearly conveyed.
Logistics and Medical Support:
Supply lines will be secured, and field hospitals set up to tend to the wounded. Engineers will ensure that the siege engines and other equipment are maintained and operational throughout the assault.
Mlociniakik's Response to Victories in Metternberg and Portae Beoae
The victories in Metternberg and Portae Beoae mark significant turning points in our collective struggle against the Holy mlaitse order and the malevolent forces led by Khyber ir'Platan. We commend our allies in Chineva and New Galape Evoros for their courage, tenacity, and strategic brilliance in these recent battles. The Kingdom of Mlociniakik stands in solidarity with our allies and remains committed to the eradication of Mlaitse influence from our lands.
Statement from King Adrian Avgentine
"To our brave allies in Chineva and Evorosia,
The recent triumphs at Metternberg and Portae Beoae are testaments to our unity and shared resolve in the face of tyranny. The courage displayed by the Royal Finolan Lancers and the strategic acumen of Exarch August have inspired our own forces here in Mlociniakik.
We have successfully captured almost all forces and levies from Lower Chanauga, ensuring the region is secured. Our troops are currently ensuring stability and safety in the area before we set up permanent camps. With our recruits arriving and our soldiers well-rested, we are now preparing for a significant assault on the Mlaitse fortress. Our strategy involves a multi-pronged attack to overwhelm their defenses, leveraging our superior numbers and tactical advantage.
Our forces will initially encircle the fortress, cutting off all supply lines and escape routes. Archers will rain arrows upon their defenses while siege engines batter down their walls. Our infantry, led by experienced commanders, will then breach the gates and engage the enemy in close combat. Special units will be tasked with locating and capturing key leaders of the Holy Mlaitse Order. The success of this operation will pave the way for our next phase: the complete eradication of Mlaitse strongholds and the liberation of all territories under their control.
Our forces are now fully prepared to engage in one of the most critical battles in our history. We call upon the strength and determination of every soldier to ensure victory. Once we have secured the harian mountains and fortified our position, we will direct our efforts towards aiding Bronzehamut through Evorosia, aiming to bring stability and peace to the entire region.
May our combined efforts lead to the downfall of our enemies and the restoration of peace and order to our lands."
King Adrian Avgentine
Kingdom of Mlociniakik
Strategic Objectives
Encirclement and Siege: Surround the Mlaitse fortress, cut off supplies, and weaken their defenses with sustained attacks.
Breach and Engage: Use siege engines to break through fortifications, followed by a coordinated infantry assault to capture the fortress.
Capture Key Leaders: Special units to locate and apprehend leaders of the Holy Mlaitse Order for interrogation and trial.
Secure Lower Chanauga: Establish permanent camps and ensure stability in the region before moving on to additional Mlaitse strongholds.
Coordinate with Allies: Share intelligence and coordinate actions with Chineva and Evorosia to counter Khyber's plans and eliminate her forces.
Call to Action
To our allies and the people of Mlociniakik, this is a pivotal moment in our struggle. Our unity and resolve will determine the fate of our lands. Stand firm, fight bravely, and let us drive out these invaders once and for all. Victory is within our grasp.
For the Kingdom of Mlociniakik, for our allies, and for the future of Palatine.
Count Willis's swift actions in mobilizing his troops to purge the Mlaitse cultists from his lands and joining our cause are commendable. The discovery of cultists at Observation Post 13 highlights the pervasive threat of the Holy mlaitse order.
Exarch August's report from New Galape Evoros is both heartening and sobering. The bravery displayed by Azalatch Antoni and his men in the Battle of the Storehouses will not be forgotten. In recognition of his sacrifice, Antoni will be granted the title of Honorary Protector of the Realm.
Our preparations for the assault on the Mlaitse fortress are complete. Our combined forces now number 12,500 soldiers, ready to lay siege. Be vigilant, as our scouts have reported the presence of a creature known as Drakmar within the fortress. This beast, a guardian of ancient treasures, stands twelve feet tall with a serpentine body and iridescent scales.
Together, we will bring an end to the Holy Mlaitse Order. Let us march forward with resolve and unity.
King Adrian Avgentine,
Kingdom of Mlociniakik
The Kingdom of Mlociniakik, with a formidable force of 12,500 soldiers, has advanced and laid the first steps towards occupying the Mlaitse Fortress. Our troops, composed of elite Cassowaries, seasoned veterans from the Algortican War, and additional provincial militia, have displayed remarkable bravery and resilience in the face of unexpected and formidable resistance.
As we initiated our siege, we encountered a new and deadly weapon deployed by the Holy mlaitse order—referred to as the "Frostfire Thrower." This device emits a stream of icy flames, capable of inflicting severe cold burns and freezing soldiers in their tracks. The Frostfire Thrower caught our forces off guard, causing initial casualties and hindering our advance.
Despite the devastating effects of the Frostfire Thrower, our troops adapted quickly. Utilizing shields and thermal barriers, we managed to push forward, breaking through the enemy’s outer defenses. Our engineers worked tirelessly to dismantle the Frostfire Throwers, neutralizing several of these lethal devices.
In the midst of the chaos, our infantry breached the fortress walls, engaging in close combat with the Mlaitse forces. The battle is ongoing, with fierce fighting reported in the northern and eastern sections of the fortress. Our archers have taken strategic positions on higher ground, providing cover for our advancing units.
We have also employed siege engines to batter the fortress gates and walls, creating entry points for our forces. The enemy, though resilient, is gradually being overwhelmed by our superior numbers and tactical maneuvers.
Casualties on both sides are significant, and the battle for the Mlaitse Fortress is far from over. However, our troops remain determined and resolute, pressing forward to secure victory and eradicate the Holy Mlaitse Order.
We continue to monitor the situation closely and will provide updates as the battle progresses.
For Mlociniakik and for the fallen, we fight on!
The noble forces of Mlociniakik, now twelve thousand and five hundred strong, have advanced significantly, laying a dominant siege upon the fortress of the Holy mlaitse order. Our banners fly high on the outskirts, marking our territory as we prepare for the final push into the heart of this malevolent stronghold.
We have successfully occupied strategic positions around the fortress, cutting off all escape routes and supply lines. The enemy is now isolated, their morale beginning to waver as our presence grows ever more imposing. Our engineers and siege masters work tirelessly, constructing formidable siege engines to breach the fortress walls.
Yet, the path to victory is not without peril. Our scouts, ever vigilant, have reported terrifying roars from within the fortress—sounds of unimaginable fear and intensity. These eerie echoes, reverberating through the night, have been identified as the cries of the Drakmar, the beast of legend that haunts the Harian Mountains. Its presence adds a sinister layer to our already daunting task.
Moreover, we have intelligence that a large contingent of elite Mlaitse Knights lies in wait inside the fortress, prepared to launch a ferocious counterattack as soon as we breach their defenses. These knights, brainwashed and fanatical in their devotion, will undoubtedly fight to the death to protect their stronghold.
Despite these challenges, the spirit of our army remains unbroken. Our men, driven by the righteous cause of eradicating this blight from our lands, continue their relentless advance. We fight with the valor and bravery that define the proud warriors of Mlociniakik.
King Adrian himself has expressed his pride in the courage and determination displayed by our troops. Though the siege is arduous and the path ahead fraught with danger, we stand resolute. The fortress shall fall, and with it, the Holy mlaitse order will be brought to justice.
For the glory of Mlociniakik and in the name of our noble King Adrian, we shall prevail.
From the Court of King Adrian Avgentine of Mlociniakik
To the People of Bronzehamut,
Upon receiving the joyous news of the capture and execution of the treacherous Khyber ir'Platan, and the triumphant return of High Lord Fizban ir'Platan, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to our esteemed allies in Bronzehamut. The valiant efforts and unyielding spirit of Bronzehamut have brought peace and justice, ridding your lands of the menace that threatened your noble realm.
King Adrian Avgentine, along with the entire Kingdom of Mlociniakik, stands in solidarity with Bronzehamut in this moment of victory. We are heartened by the bravery and resilience shown by High Lord Fizban, whose cunning and strength have turned the tide in this dark chapter of history. His return is a testament to the unwavering will of Bronzehamut, and we celebrate this victory alongside you.
Regarding the Capture of Holy Mlaitse Supporters:
In light of this victory, it is with great resolve that we report the efforts of our loyal knights stationed in Bronzehamut. These knights have diligently located, captured, and arrested numerous supporters of the insidious Holy mlaitse order within your borders. Their swift action has not only ensured the safety of Bronzehamut but has also dealt a significant blow to the nefarious plans of our common enemy.
These captives will be transported to Aeldford, a major city in the Duchy of Autaine, renowned for its military prowess. In Aeldford, our knights will conduct thorough interrogations and question these prisoners to uncover further plots and networks of the Holy Mlaitse Order. This city, known for its disciplined and formidable forces, is the ideal location for such important proceedings.
As we move forward, the bonds of friendship and alliance between Mlociniakik and Bronzehamut grow ever stronger. Together, we shall continue to stand vigilant against all who threaten our peace and prosperity.
May this victory herald a new era of tranquility and collaboration between our realms.
In loyalty and solidarity,
King Adrian Avgentine Kingdom of Mlociniakik.
Our forces have made significant advances in the ongoing siege of the Mlaitse fortress. We have successfully broken down the outer defenses and are now attempting to penetrate the inner stronghold. The siege has been arduous, and our troops have faced various challenges, including the use of unconventional weaponry by the enemy.
Our scouts have reported disturbing sounds emanating from within the fortress, including roars that instill a sense of unimaginable fear and dread. We anticipate encountering heavy resistance from the Mlaitse knights stationed inside as we make our final push to breach the inner defenses.
Despite these challenges, our soldiers remain resolute. We expect fierce combat in the coming days as we strive to capture the fortress and bring an end to the threat posed by the Holy mlaitse order.
Updates on further developments will follow.
It is with great relief and gratitude that we announce the successful recovery of His Majesty, King Adrian Avgentine, following a recent surgery. The King was ambushed by unknown assailants while sailing back to Derfin from Aquilea, where he had been engaging with local leaders and exploring the city.
Despite sustaining several injuries during the valiant defense against the attackers, His Majesty's indomitable spirit and the heroic efforts of his elite guardians ensured their ultimate victory. Tragically, many lives were lost in the confrontation.
After the battle, a Chinevan naval ship patrolling the region came to the aid of King Adrian's distressed vessel. The surviving members of His Majesty's party were taken aboard the Chinevan ship and received immediate medical attention.
Upon reaching Derfin, King Adrian underwent thorough medical procedures. The skillful work of the royal physicians has ensured that His Majesty is now in stable condition and on the path to a full recovery. Although he is currently resting and recuperating, King Adrian's determination to uncover the identity of the attackers and safeguard the kingdom remains unwavering.
In response to this grievous act, the Royal Navy has dispatched several naval vessels to investigate the origins of the attack. Our forces are currently scouring the waters and surrounding regions to identify the perpetrators and understand their motives. This investigation is of utmost importance to ensure the continued safety and stability of our realm.
We ask all loyal subjects to join us in wishing His Majesty a swift and complete recovery. The kingdom stands united in our support for our courageous King as he heals and prepares to continue leading us with strength and wisdom.
Report from the Battlefield:
On this solemn day, our valiant forces have, through their steadfast resolve and martial prowess, breached the stout defenses of the enemy fortress. With the combined might of twelve thousand five hundred warriors, we launched a fierce and unrelenting assault against the stronghold, sundering the gates and overwhelming the outer ramparts. Our siege engines and trebuchets smote the walls with thunderous blows, whilst our archers provided a hail of arrows to cover the advancing infantry.
Battle Statistics:
Mlocikian Host: 12,500 warriors
Men-at-Arms: 8,000
Longbowmen: 2,500
Mounted Knights: 1,500
Siege Artificers: 500
The battle now rages within the very heart of the fortress grounds. Our soldiers are locked in ferocious combat with the defenders of the Holy mlaitse order. The air is thick with the clangor of steel, the cries of the wounded, and the relentless din of battle. The Mlaitse knights, renowned for their ferocity and skill, mount a desperate defense, resolved to hold their ground to the last.
Significant Developments:
Infiltration Squads: Several bands of our elite knights and stealthy rogues have surreptitiously entered the fortress's citadel. Their sacred mission is to penetrate the depths of the dungeon and slay the Drakmar, the monstrous guardian said to be kept by the Mlaitse Order. These brave souls traverse the treacherous corridors, battling any resistance they encounter.
Enemy Resistance: As anticipated, the defenders fight with the desperation of the cornered. The Mlaitse knights, emboldened by their fervent zeal, employ every advantage offered by the fortress's labyrinthine layout.

Battle report: The Siege of the Fortress
In the year of our Lord 1424, the siege of the Mlaitse Fortress has proven to be a brutal and arduous affair. Our forces, having breached the outer defenses, now find themselves embroiled in fierce and unyielding combat. The Mlaitse men, displaying unexpected resolve and tenacity, have turned the fortress into a veritable cauldron of smoke, fury, and blood.
The enemy's resolve has forced us to call for additional recruits from Lower Chanauga to bolster our ranks. Reinforcements are being marshaled as we speak, their arrival eagerly awaited by our valiant soldiers who fight tirelessly on the front lines.
The Rain of Arrows and Stones:
As the siege continues, the skies above the fortress are filled with a relentless barrage of arrows and large stones, hurled by our siege engines. The spectacle of fire raining down upon the fortress is both terrifying and awe-inspiring, casting an ominous glow over the battlefield. The defenders are under constant assault, their walls trembling under the weight of our siege.
The Cavalry Clash:
On the open field beyond the fortress, a fierce and bloody battle rages between the cavalries of both armies. Knights in gleaming armor clash with the Mlaitse horsemen, the thunder of hooves and the clash of steel reverberating across the plains. The ground is churned to mud by the relentless combat, and the air is thick with the cries of the wounded and the dying.
Sir Gavril Ardent’s Rallying Speech:
Amidst the chaos of battle, with the clash of steel and the cries of the wounded echoing through the air, a figure of imposing authority emerged onto the citadel's highest balcony. Sir Gavril Ardent, the Mlaitse’s best and most fearsome warrior, once a guardian to the late King Silona III, stood before his men. His presence commanded immediate attention, and his words cut through the din of combat like a blade.
"Brothers of the Mlaitse!" his voice thundered, carrying over the battlefield. "We stand on the precipice of a new dawn. The enemy seeks to break us, to shatter our resolve. But we are Mlaitse! We are the chosen defenders of our land, the harbingers of a new order. Let not the banners of the invader darken our skies. Let the strength of our forefathers flow through our veins. Fight, not for yourselves, but for the future of Neo-Mlatonicism. Let us drive these usurpers back into the abyss from whence they came!"
A Symbol of Defiance:
As Sir Gavril’s speech resonated through the ranks, galvanizing his warriors with renewed vigor, he seized a handcrafted glass head of Jesus, an artifact revered by many. With a defiant and symbolic gesture, he hurled it from the balcony, watching as it shattered upon the stones below.
"Behold!" he proclaimed. "Christianity will be shattered and swept away! Neo-Mlatonicism shall rise and take its place in the sun!"
This act of defiance further inflamed the passions of the Mlaitse warriors. Inspired by Sir Gavril’s bold declaration, they fought with a renewed ferocity, their spirits unbroken despite the heavy toll of the battle.
The Struggle Continues:
The fight for the fortress continues to rage on. Our forces, though wearied and bloodied, press onward with undiminished determination. The stakes are high, and the outcome uncertain, but the resolve of our soldiers remains steadfast. The battle for the fortress is far from over, and as reinforcements draw near, we prepare for the next phase of this relentless and bloody siege.
Siege Update: The Final Push into the Citadel
In the relentless year of our Lord 1424, as the siege of the Mlaitse citadel raged on, our forces faced one of their most grueling battles yet. With new recruits from Lower Chanauga bolstering our ranks, we renewed our efforts against the fortified enemy.
Arrows and large stones rained down upon the citadel, a spectacle of fire and fury lighting the night sky. The clash of cavalries was fierce, the ground trembling under the weight of battle as both sides fought with unyielding determination.
After Sir Gavril Ardent's speech, a chilling discovery was made: Drakmar, the fearsome monster, had somehow fled the citadel. His dungeon was found frozen, every surface coated in a thick layer of ice, leaving our men baffled at his escape. Nonetheless, this revelation has only strengthened our resolve.
We now stand on the brink of victory, pushing deeper into the citadel's defenses. The Mlaitse fight with unexpected resilience, but our forces press on with unparalleled determination. This critical moment could seal the fate of the Mlaitse stronghold.
As we advance, our men are driven by the hope of ending this brutal siege. The final push into the citadel has begun, and with courage and resolve, we strive to claim our hard-fought victory. The echoes of battle fill the air, and the destiny of the citadel hangs by a thread.
Victory at the Fortress: The Fall of Mlaitse
In the harrowing year of our Lord 1424, after a series of fierce and brutal battles, we have finally toppled the Mlaitse stronghold. The clash was relentless, with combat raging across the citadel and up the winding stairs of its towering structures. The air was thick with the cries of warriors and the clang of steel, each step forward a testament to our unyielding resolve.
As our forces stormed the citadel, arrows and large stones continued to rain down upon the fortress, creating a fiery spectacle against the night sky. The battle reached its zenith as we ascended the final tower, the narrow stairs echoing with the sound of combat.
At the top of the citadel, in the war room, a climactic confrontation unfolded. Sir Gavril Ardent, the fierce leader of the Mlaitse, stood defiant with his first knights. Our commander, leading his own elite force, engaged Sir Ardent in a battle that would determine the fate of the citadel. The clash of swords was deafening, the room a chaotic whirl of steel and fury.
After a grueling fight, Sir Ardent was finally defeated. Our commander, wielding his blade with precision, pushed Sir Ardent towards the balcony. In a final act of defiance, Sir Ardent struggled, but our commander's strength prevailed. He thrust Sir Ardent off the balcony, sending him plummeting to the ground below. Sir Ardent's lifeless body lay on the cold earth, marking the end of his reign of terror.
The victory, though hard-won, came at a great cost. The battle and the war were brutal, with countless lives lost on both sides. Blood stained the stones of the citadel, a stark reminder of the fierce combat that had transpired.
Yet, even as we celebrate this momentous triumph, we are aware that the threat of the Mlaitse has not been completely eradicated. Their remnants still lurk in the shadows of Palatine, their influence not fully extinguished. The war with the Mlaitse is over, but the men of Neo-Mlaitonicism remain a lingering menace. They continue to pose a threat, and we must remain vigilant, for the peace we have fought so hard to achieve is fragile and must be fiercely protected.
A Letter from King Adrian and the Royal Senate:
To the Brave People of Mlociniakik,
It is with great relief and solemn pride that we, King Adrian Avgentine and the esteemed members of the Royal Senate, announce the end of the long and arduous war with the Mlaitse. The battles have been fierce, the sacrifices immense, but today we stand united in victory. Our forces have triumphed, toppling the citadel and ending the reign of terror led by Sir Gavril Ardent.
This victory did not come without a heavy cost. Brave men and women of Mlociniakik laid down their lives in the name of peace and freedom. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten, and we honor their memory as we move forward into a new era of hope and prosperity.
In recognition of this monumental achievement, we declare a period of celebration throughout the kingdom. Let us honor the courage and valor of our fallen heroes and celebrate the dawn of a new chapter in our history. The streets of Derfin and beyond shall be filled with festivities, songs of triumph, and the spirit of unity.
However, even as we celebrate, we must remain vigilant. The threat of Neo-Mlaitonicism still lingers, and we must continue to defend our realm against any who would seek to undermine our hard-won peace.
With the war against the Mlaitse concluded, our focus now shifts to a new front. The forces previously stationed along the borders of Weser Amatland are now ordered to advance and initiate an invasion. The strength and resolve of our army will once again be tested, but we are confident in the bravery and skill of our soldiers. Our objective is clear: to secure and stabilize Weser Amatland, ensuring the safety and prosperity of our people.
Let us march forward with determination and honor, knowing that the spirit of Mlociniakik will guide us to victory once more.
For Mlociniakik! For Glory and Freedom!
King Adrian Avgentine and the Royal Senate
