The Assyrian King and Babylonian Lugal met on the beautifull and fertile plains between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Many gifts exchanged hands. The Assyrian King was astounded by the generosity of the Babylonian leader, and long talks followed.
From this encampment, many orders were given to the Assyrian governors and soldiers:
Scouts north of Arrapkha discover a Town on a small lake, and call for reinforcements. A Chariot from Arrapkha is quickly dispatched, reversing the orders to move south. They find a river leading north, and they will meet up with the scouts in the near future. Meanwhile, the scouts seek refreshment in the lake, but they find they cannot swim in this lake as in their beloved Tigris. When they lie in the water, their legs are not submerged, but they aimlessly move above the water! It seems these western waters become more salty by the day.
An exhausted band of swordsmen take refuge in a hut, where they find fellow swordsmen to join the Assyrian cause. Together they will strike at the barbarians in the fortresses, as soon as they have rested sufficiently.
Two scouts in the west rest yet another turn, as they still lack proper movement allowance. One of them is having long conversations with the Hatte Charioteers, who seem to be resting as well from heavy battle fatigue over the last copple of decades. It is these friendships forged between soldiers that will bring understanding and prosperity between nations.
Other scouts in the south, north and north-east report progress, but nothing out of the ordinary. There are rumours one is approaching a fabled land 'Central Asia', but the commander of the unit says he has no knowledge of any such lands.

A memorable day has come to the Assyrian people, and week long festivities are celebrating the Great Works that have been accomplished by the Assyrian people and its rulers.
The great visionary leader Tudiya had begon the construction of these monumental Pyramids close to twohundred years ago. And at last they were completed. Many workers from around the empire had contributed, and large sums of gold from the State-coffers were spend on the project. The Assyrians were proud on this achievement, and many cheared the wise rulers who had made it possible that such a Wonder would be constructed through the combined efforts of the Assyrian cities.
King Yangi and the Priests cut the ceremonial throats of many sheeps to honour the gods and the ancesters of the Assyrians, and the remains of all the late Assyrian rulers were reburied in the gigantic structures. From now on Assyrian rulers will be buried in Pyramids, but non of the monuments will surpass the grandeur of the tombs of Tudiya, Adamu and Yangi.
In other news: Assyrian scouts will honour Persia's request, and will not enter Central Asia.
One Town has been subdued near the salty lakes in the west, and the captured slaves will soon start working in the hills near the Pyramids in Nineveh.

The Hittite army continues its slow push down the levant. Soon, we 'll be meeting those Egyptians the Canaanites gossip about. They say that the "Egyptians" make excessive use of make-up and perfumes, even men! Of course, this must be dismissed as mere slander, since it is the Canaanites that run from the afrikans, not the other way around. They even speak of Egyptian soldiers black as jet! Yeah, right...
In the West, a group of swordsmen cross the bosporus (ox-passing) to meet the entrenched Greek horsemen on the European shores. Now that we have established contact, we shall pull back to Asia. If there is anything you might want, feel free to contact us. If you wish, we can arrange for the passage of your envoys to the Eastern rulers, now.
The word on the streets of Hatussas is that the Persian kingdom lies further east than legendary Cathay itself.

Our beloved King Yangi has died, and his body has been balmed and put in the tombs so recently finished.
His son Kitlamu has taken his place on the Throne.
Kitlamu has inherited an empire that now houses 400.000 souls and the vastness is unimaginable. Scouts keep on looking for new lands, and new tribes. This decade, we found four. One of the villages turned against Assyria, and the scouts have dug in to defend Assyria's borders. One tribe has tought us beautifull things in metal working, and Assyria has now entered the Bronze Age. Another tribe put their swordsmen under Assyrian militairy control, and they have been send to join the battle in the desert against the barbarians in their forts.
And last but not least we have met tribesmen in the west, who swear alligiance to a distant ruler, the Nomarch of Egypt. The tribesmen have asked for an audience with the Assyrian King. Although not unwilling to establish contact with the Egyptians, this ragged band of Skirmishers, clearly still suffering from battles fought, was deemed not a fitting party to travel to the courts in Nineveh and meet the noble newly inaugurated ruler. Long distance runners were dispatched, and a PM has been send to the Egyptian ruler, carried by a royal envoy.
Hatte scouts, two groups of them, have been seen traveling in the Orontes river valley. The Assyrians wish to know what their quest is in these Assyrian lands? The land ahead of them is full of dangers, most notably the Barbarian fortresses a few leagues away. The Hatte ruler is advised to disclose their goal, so that Assyrian and Hatte scouts don't get in the way of eachother.

From beneath the welcome shade of a Tamarisk, Mekret stared grimly at the approaching army of foreign skirmishers. Earlier in the day, a few scouts had raced in with news of these "Assyrians", but they were far too close - and too numerous - to avoid. After years of warfare, the Canaanites had been largely subdued, but Mekret's Veteran 4th skirmishers were now sadly reduced in number. His instinct - as always - said "Fight!", but the respective size of their forces counseled a different strategy. Besides, the Nomarch had warned him in no uncertain terms that this day would come - and conflict would not be allowed.
"The merchants who travel by land and sea have long spoken of great empires to the North and East. One day we will meet, and the result - be it war or peace - is a matter for Nomarchs and Kings to decide - not generals!"
Hmmph. So be it. One day there would be a different Nomarch ruling Egypt - perhaps even one named Mekret - and on that day a different tune would play. But for now he would assume the role of gracious host and see what these Assyrians had to say for themselves. Although their Barbaric appearance, enhanced by hairy torsos and great black beards, didn't look promising. By contrast, shaved clean from head-to-toe, garbed in the finest linens and heavily perfumed to ward off the expected olfactory assault, Mekret proudly went forth to show these bearded ones the look and bearing of a civilized man, an Egyptian Lord of High Birth!

The great Hittite leader assumes the title of King. The entire Hatti nation rejoices! May the gods favor shine uppon us. Month long festivities are held in Hatussas.
Disturbing news reach the newly established court though, as it seems that a unit of skirmishers barely escaped a phrygian horsemen ambush. The Phrygians were pacified long ago, how could this be? Could this be but the first sign of an impending revolt among the Phrygian vassals? Others wishper about Lydian imvolvement still. We shall deal with them with extreme prejudice nontheless.
In the south, the word comes that Minoan power is breaking down, as unrully Cretan pirates land where they shouldn't, breaching age-old agreements.
In the North, Hittites watch the Greeks wondering, what they are waiting for, across the empty shores...
In Canaan, well, we are on a picnic excursion... just like everybody else (Assyrians, Egyptians and probably Babylonians too). It is rumored that the Memphites smell like pansies (the flower). Pah! nothing beats good old pastrami, if you ask me...
