Great Chief Giovanni was happy at the rumors of the defeat of the cannibals to the north.
His explorer there also have broght him a new and strange metal from the great mountain on the north, and he decided to let the wise-men of the tribe study that metal, to see if it was of any good use for the people of Tierra del Fuego.
Also the hero who defeated the cannibals have finally arrived to the big fire of Fiollikord, where Great Chief Giovanni greeted him with a very warm welcome, and proclaimed him the hero of the Tierra del Fuego people, and that from now on that man shall be considered a holy men, blessed by the Supreme God of Sun and Fire.
General Diaz also asked Great Chief Giovanni if it was possible to have now a bigger army, as now the borders he had to protect were much larger than the ones he had to protect before the first Cannibal War, and after some discussion the Council of the Wise decided to grant him a bigger Army.
----------------
Orders:
- Keep expanding north, (army still protects settlers in case other cannbals show up)
- Enlarge the Army
- Work on that "new strange metal founded in the northern mountains" (work towards Bronze Age  )

In South America the people of Tierra de Fuego have once again encountered a new barbarian civilization.
Calling themselves the 'People of the Sun' this religious order of people live out their lives as preist farmers. They are monotheistic, beleiving that the sun alone rules the heavens, but they are accepting of other beleifs and generally pacifistic.
They have long been tormented by their cruel neighbors, they ask the 'Great Prince of the South' who weilds his bronze so mightily, to save them from the neighboring tribes, and to accept them as a part of the Empire.

OOC: From all the past stories of Semeria, I have refered to the leader as "King". I got mixed up with some other game. It is actually supposed to be High Lord.
IC:
High Lord Jason paced the castle's stone floors, echoing a tapping noise throughout the halls of the empty castle. Brenit, the Commander of the armies, and Larrissa, Commander of hte navy (female), were seeted at the table of Hope, I huge stone tablet slung on top of slabs of stone. It was smoothed on the top to provide a nice slick appeareance and touch, and then painted brown. In the middle was a small fire place, sunken down so that the top of the flames protrude the surface of the table. This provided enough light for seeing.
High Lord Jason was wondering about the constant threat of the small tribes in Espanola (Spain, made new name for game). The recently-added province to Semeria was proving to be a nuissance to the empire's garrison of the army to keep safe from the warring tribes that bordered it.
After much discussion, it was settled. The plan was maginficent - devised from High Lord Jason himself. Part of the Grand Army, elite bronze swordsmen and light calvary would be deployed by the Grand Navy at certain tribes to raid them and kill the leaders. Then they would reboard the ships, and unload at another place, doing it all up and down the Espanola coastline. Meanwhile, the rest of the Grand Army could focus on the expansion northwards, into the former-Gaulish territories.
--------------------------------
Orders
Military
Use 1/4 of the Grand Army to conduct raids as sepcified above.
Use 1/2 of Grand Army to continue to expand northwards
Use 1/4 of Grand Army to scout out the lands to the East.
Begin recruiting more men for army service - use the high moral state of the army to convince them to join.
1/2 of Navy is to conduct the raids
The other half is to scout northwards (Druids)
Domestic and Production
Begin to train hundreds of more blacksmiths. Show them how to work bronze, and then the new metal found in the northeast (Iron?).
Begin the construction of a capital city, grander then all the grand, around the Castle. Everything should be made of stone (think Machu-Pichu, but much much larger)
OOC: Skilord, very much enjoying your updates  .

IN THE BEGINNING, the world was nothing but a swamp. The water and the earth were all mixed up and there was nothing but a bog. Nothing could live there. But in the six skies above and in the six worlds below lived gods, demons, and animals.
In the foggy and hanging skies of the lower heavens, the demons lived. In the star-bearing and high skies of the clouds lived the lesser gods. In the skies of the most high lived Kamui, the creator god, and his servants. His realm was surrounded by a mighty metal wall and the only entrance was through an iron gate.
Kamui made this world as a vast round ocean, resting on the backbone of an enormous trout. This fish sucks in the ocean and spits it out again to make the tides; when it moves it causes earthquakes. One day, Kamui looked down on the watery world, and decided to make something of it. He sent down a water wagtail to do the work. When the poor bird arrived and saw the mess everything was in, it did not know what to do. However, by fluttering over the waters with its wings and by trampling the mud with its feet and beating it with its tail, the wagtail at last created patches of dry land. In this way, islands were raised to float upon the ocean in this, the floating world. Even today, the faithful wagtail is still carrying on its work, still beating the ground with its tail.
When Kamui created the world, the Devil tried to thwart him. One morning, the Devil got up and lay in wait to with his mouth opened wide to swallow the sun. But Kamui sent a crow to fly down the Devil’s throat to make him choke and cough. That is why the crow is such a bold bird. Because a crow once saved the world, all crows think they can do what they like, even stealing people’s food.
When the animals who lived in the heavens saw how beautiful the world was, they begged Kamui to let them go and live on it, and he did. But Kamui also made many other creatures especially for the world. The first people, the Ainu, had bodies made of earth, hair of chickweed, and spines made from the sticks of willow. That is why when we grow old, our backs become bent.
Kamui send Aioina, the god-man, down from heaven to teach the Ainu how to hunt and to cook. When Aioina returned to heaven after living among people and teaching them many things, the gods all held their noses and cried, “What a terrible smell of humans!”
They sniffed and sniffed to find out where the stink was coming from. At last, they found out that the smell was coming from Aioina’s clothes. The gods sent him back to earth, and refused to let him back into heaven until he left all his clothes behind. Down in the floating world, Aioina’s sandals turned into the first squirrels.

OOC: I had a really big post but it got lost here is the gist of it:
King Pria II married at an old age, then dies in 1789. His son, Makuus I, is 14, and his decisions are heavily influenced by his mother, who is secretly an agent of the Council of the Eleven. In 3788, he announces that slavery will be ended, the religion will be reformed (the King will no longer be a god), some free speech will be given to the people, and the Council of the Eleven will be allowed to exist and advise the King in making decisions. The common people love him, but the aristocrats, including the King of KArachi, Makuus's second cousin, revolt upon hearing news of this declaration! Civl war breaks out; SKILORD shall resolve it.

Wisconsinites discover the Mississippi River to the west.
Orders are immediatly put out to move south on this great river and form trade colonies, Wisconsin Now has contact with the Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota Sioux tribes, which are South, Southwest, and west of Wisconsin respectively.
All of the tribes have been given a demonstration of the Ballistae, and the Illinois and Iowa tribes have begged desperately for peace. The council of elders has asked those two nations to join Wisconsin, virtually tripling the territory of the Wisconsinite tribe and giving much better trade deals.
The Sioux were not too impressed with the Ballistae, but the bronze held quite an impression on them. They offered a new source of food, the potato. Wisconsinites returned the offer with corn. ((SKILORD, Horses shouldn't be available to the Sioux until Europeans sail to North America, so I don't want to be attacked by Sioux mounted warriors next turn, At the moment we are at peace and trading Potatos and corn with each other.))
The people are demanding a means of exchange with the other tribes, currently beaver pelts and the barter system are the primary means, but these methods are cumbersome. Some have proposed bronze discs, but currently all the bronze is being used for arrows, armor, and ballistae.
Wisconsin Summary:
Contact with:
Illinois
Iowa
Minnesota Sioux
Developing: (SKILORD pick one for me)
Masonry
Currency
Other Projects:
Exploration and colonization of the Mississippi (1st priority)
Stance towards known nations
Minnesota Sioux (suspicious)
Iowa (friendly)
Illinois (friendly)

Sioux forces made their way all the way to the Missisipii top thwart Wisconsin's attempts at settlement. They say: "hah, we shall thwart you" and they have, for now.
They were, by the way, eminently unmounted, and were only attacking on foot, they said they don't want your corn anymore, having discovered that it is nuitritionally useless.
Currency began it's coinage in Wisconsin as well. Gold is now sealed with the Chief's approval to become valid currency. The other tribes criticised this saying it would only lead to 'Greed and War'
The tribes of the Illinois also declared war on the Wisconsin tribe, mostly because they wanted to join in the fun, and the Suoix asked for it, since they were closer to the Missisippi. The Iowa tribe pledged alleigance to the Wisconsiners, attacking the Illinois on the condition that they would be 'accepted, without bloodshed, their culture perserved, to the Empire of Wisconsin. The Illinois tribe took this turn poorly, being beaten on the feild of combat on both sides.

Now for the update for the only man nutty enough to have a civil war with himself, for fun.
Makuus I proved himself an able commander, beating aristrocratic armies on the field, the aristrocrats found themselves outnumbered by the commoners, and the freedmen, and lost the civil war resoundingly, the Council of Eleven, themselves loyalist nobles, have reformed themselves to become subservient to the king, afraid to incur his wrath. The commoners, feeling bold, have petitioned that a twelfth member be added to the council, one chosen by them.
-
The temples of Egypt spread their religion, it has gained support in Phoenecia and even Greece.
-
An awful set of winters laid waste to the Roman lands, in a curious turn of events the coast of Cumae was generally perserved from this, causing people to emigrate there by the masses, they carry their traditions and even government there, expanding Roman control.
-
The Daiymo of Sisam accepted the offer of the Ainu, surrendering his empire to them, the scattered Daiymos of southern and centeral Japan have banded together to fight the threats to their sovreignity, China and the Ainu.
-
China was struck again, this time the raiders struck Nantong, frighteningly close to the capitail, Shanghi.
The people demand action!
-
The dropped soldiers of the Semerian navy did their High Lord proud, crushing the Espanolian tribes who attempted to resist the Semerian rule, though the southern tribes proved too strong to defeat.
The Gauls continued to resist settlement, their new weapons, War Hammers, caused a great deal of damage to the Bronze shields of Semeria. Smithies continue to struggle with Iron, no sucess yet.
-
The Mongol's made advances against the King of Choybalsan and his allies, though Choybalsan remains in the defiant king's hands.
-
