The whole Oligarch being Orcs things was nothing but Sirion roleplaying they were orc while they were the elves.  Tbh I think its completely dumb that people in Sirion call themselves elves still but thats just my opinion.

Go ask 75% of Ibladesh they will only remember 2 of them right away Lorgan.

Heh and its a fact also.

The Perdan dueling guild and i dont know

Added a new section.  Hoping to get one or two more on tonight.

PS - I updated the early early history, but not the pre-restart history.  James was ruler down south as I recall, I had Perdan, Stuart had Sirion.  Tom was in Ubent I believe then too.

I can only remember Perdan and Oligarch being at war... sadly.  Then I switched to Oligarch and Ibladesh with my characters.  The histories also lack the early assassinations that the rulers used to pay for against eachother.  (It used to be like 1k gold to have a shot at taking out the other ruler through an NPC)

Maybe I'll get around to filling in details I remember.

For reference i'd prefer if you run it by me.  I took a quick glance and stuff are in the wrong place now some information is repeated and a title is in the wrong place.

I dont want a ton of info being added and the read becoming impossible to understand.  Like I said i'll be adding things and updating.  Send me the info and be patient.  Either way thanks for the bit of info you did.

A few items I noticed, all on this page:
http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/East_Island_News/East_Island_Chronicle/Chapter5/Part_4

1. I love that this got mention:
March 1, 2006 – Begin of the OCPAU (Oligarch observer, Caligan Courier, Perdan Pride, Avamar times and Ubent) vs the Itorunt informer newspaper war. On the side not the Itorunt Informer never gave up but never had close to the views of the others.

2. This issue is much more complex:
March 6, 2006 – Old Rancangua spies begin a rebellion in Oligarch but it gets thwarted. The culprits flee and join Old Rancangua.
March 18 and 19 2006 – Successful rebellion in Old Rancangua then a successful counter rebellion in Old Rancangua.

What actually happened was that Oligarch's spy agency orchestrated a fake rebellion within Oligarch. The rebels were defeated, banned, and they fled to Old Rancagua. There, they plotted, gained 2 native supporters, and then started a rebellion when OR's army was away from the capital. Simultaneously, the other Avamarians in Oligarch marched up the Kazakh peninsula. The rebellion succeeded, and the rebels banned most loyalists. Then, there was a counter-rebellion. It barely succeeded thanks to some good luck on militia. They then banned the rebels; however, due to all the confusion, some rebels didn't get banned actually, and some loyalists did, despite the ultimate loyalist victory. Meanwhile, some people accidentally joined the wrong sides. Fights broke out in several regions in OR, the king was deposed, and Oligarchian raiders had a heyday in OR's regions. This loss of nobles, internal dissent, and military catastrophe economically paralyzed OR for some time. They did not send an army into Oligarch's lands again until the Siege of Oligarch.

The objective of these rebellions (codenamed "Operation Rubber Ducky") was to form a new Avamarian homeland, thereby relieving the overcrowding of Oligarch, and flanking Sirion (a goal later accomplished by Sultanate of Asena, to no avail, unfortunately).

My bias: I planned the whole rebel operation, orchestrated the fake rebellion, developed the covers, hand-picked the operatives, and coordinated the military on the northern front while we were operational. Operation Rubber Ducky was my baby. And it almost worked. Almost.

I will use stuff like this after i finish writing the rest of it.  First i want to have something down for all across history then I will edit things players make suggestions on and ask for changes on.

So far im glad that some people are taking an interest in reading it.

Nope just one small piece was.  The rest was based on facts.  Yes every little thing can be argued but information I put down was general consensus.

Im more then willing to changes pieces and parts but I prefer if people dont touch the basis of the work too much except maybe for spelling mistakes or help with the layout.

I have no problem editing things in and out.

Bumping the link i had above was to the great war.  There are four chapters before that.  My apologies.  Fixed the link now however.

I have been doing the history of the East Continent it is the one place i've following intently and carefully since I've been in Battlemaster and I decided to gather the history of it in one piece.  It is still work in progress but I am more then halfway done after about 40 hours working on it.

Maybe it will inspire someone else to do one of the other islands.  Either way I hope people will enjoy it and get a good read.   Im looking for feedback.  I will edit and make it nicer and easier to read in the future too just wish i had more time.

Better idea :P just burn faster get the misery over with :D

And the haven't done much but raid  :-\ Leibo has always been up in the air, Isadril is starving..

Isadril actually isnt starving at all and it hasnt been.  Also im pretty sure you had a vast amount of regions about to revolt a week ago.  We just ran out of army to continue the push

Sanctus Acies could be the delivery method of my 'Darkhollow' concept... As there is no quarrel with any set of Gods from the church's viewpoint, they could get along quite well with others, unless it came down to personal matters obviously.  It could establish itself with assistance from the other religions in trying to create an actual roleplay and religion based interplay, unlike the monotony of what I've experienced in other theocracies. It wouldn't even need to be a theocracy in all actuality (the new realm), as long as it is a truly honourable place, Sanctus Acies would approve of calling somewhere there it's actual home. I've a notion to create a Monarchy somewhere on the EC with a more... goofball tone to it. Not a stupid kind of realm with people constantly skipping into battle wearing frilly shirts and no pants, but one that: A. enjoys open conversation, B. has a decent number of religions within it's borders, to allow for some actual development and interplay between religions, such as we saw in olden days (try to tell me that any of the worlds religions didn't develop in more ways than just war, and I will chuckle quite heartily), C. has a more Ducal based powerbase, in order to promote more people into positions of status and try to keep players (old and new hopefully) interested, D. encourages roleplays of the lives of Nobles, in order to promote character development for everyone.

I know, I'm asking for a lot... But wth, EC could use some change.

This is nothing most decent rulers dont try to do.  You will find however that most ppl just want to actually move blindly without saying much.  The only way you will experience a talkative realm is if you gather the players that do try to roleplay their characters and its impossible to get them all in one realm.  Plus your religion concept wont work especially when elders of the religions you allow in start to squabble and squeeze their influence in your realm.

That would be really pointless if SA created a realm.  There is really no point to it.  Its not supposed to be a religion with a head of a state.

Regarding the war.  Lets say the first couple of months had me very busy an active to hold off a motivated and massive army that Ibladesh had.  Now Ibladesh is coming with a good 8K less CS then it had at the beginning when it was just fighting Caligus.

From my part it was very fun and I did alot of the managing dealing with Fontan/SoA/Westmoor on the south (obviously Sirion was an amazing help <3 Peri)

A key moment of the war was Ibladesh's own fault.  They had Isadril at one point but they got too greedy and took the bait and went to Hamadan and overstrecthed themselves.  It was pre-planned Ibladesh fell for it and in the end Caligus was able to get militia back.  It does help have people being more loyal to their realm then a religion too ;)
