The Liubeth Peace Conference

While the king refused to bow before the kalpian dogs and the osladian monsters. He knew the cause was hopeless and the peace accord before had failed he couldn’t even achieve a singular peace as such he knew the war effort would come to a close. He sent notices to his commanders and enemy announcing the surrender of the country. Many people applauded his bravery for stopping the fight for fear of the slaughter of more innocent zellonians even though he knew the terms wouldn’t be light. Yet when the peace delegation sent him what the kalpians and osladians wanted he nearly choked and refused it there. He sent word to his team to request that their neighbors to the east the Tsardom of Radena be brought into negotiate or the Empire of Violette whichever the kalpian and osladians would accept. Until the kalpians and osladians accepted or denied the intervention the peace would stall.

Kalpian Hanging

On June 5th with the ceasefire called off and the king and his attendants returning from the peace accords that had broken down when oslad gained nothing from their hard work. The king demanded that men that had been captured and tried be hung immediately. So it began. Meanwhile the general who commanded the operation was still undergoing intense treatment for information on the kalpian forces and their larger plan.


Kalpian soldiers hung

Peace accords

With the king and his entourage finally returning they set about presenting what happened to the press. As it turned out the kalpians and oslading were far from friends. In fact it seemed they were fighting each other for whatever could be gained. Even worse when things reached a boiling point the osladian prime minister refused to speak and when he noticed they were gaining little to nothing. Walked out of the room demanding the war to continue, the king while surprised believed the kalpians could be reasoned with but as they refused to accept their prisoners back amongst other things walked as well. In this horrifying news it seems the war continues only it seems it will end in blood for no more peace talks seem open until the others are dead. As such pleas from all of zellonia have begun to great nations such as the empire of tara or empire of violette for intervention in hopes of a white peace and that things may return to what they once were.

Meanwhile in the war room:

With high command finally realizing the situation at hand knew they required reinforcements. They sent notice to the memoital commonwealth for help as well as a detailed plan on what their men would be used for. Furthermore orders were sent to vorl on new objectives. Meanwhile the entrenched army on the marnish border couldn’t be sent any news for fears or interception as such the men sat and hoped general hawkthrone would break out and move on.

Kalpian Trials

After the negative response from the kalpian government the trials for the some 5,000 prisoners of war began today. With atleast 300 having been charged so far all sentenced to death for assassination of our glorious King James. Though it’s been said that the hangings won’t be carried out till all men have been tried. Though with 300 already charged in only 3 days it won’t be long before the kalpian pigs are all dead.

Dearest Kayla,

Oh kayla, how it’s been near a year since I last saw you and Kevin and our baby Lura. How I hope you are all safe. I heard about the damn kalpian attacks on zeel and worried for you and the kids safety. How I wish this war would finally end and I could return to you. I’ve heard rumors of an ensuing ceasefire before peace talks begin I hope their true and I’ll be able to see you soon. Though I can’t wait to tell you all the stories I’ve heard from the young kids I’ve commanded and of the sights I’ve seen in vorl. I swear when this war is over we’ll take a vacation here and I can show you the scenes as they were. But fear not for me, we’ve begun entrenching and making this place a fortress and with the supply lines by sea and our naval support we have nothing to fear. The assult from the osladians appear to be starting, I’ll write to you again and give the children my love.

Love, Captain Jacob.

Kalpian Prisoners

Reports have come in from the judicial office that the 5 thousand and some kalpian prisoners will be tried by the highest court in all of zellonia for assassination. However the foreign office has stated that word is being sent to kalpia that in return for a white peace all prisoners will be returned unharmed. The judges will await a month for a response from the kalpian republic should there be no response or zellonia be fully ignored the trials will commence.

Dearest May,

I hope this letter finds you in far better care than my own. This harsh winter has taken it’s toll out on us. Especially those wounded in the field, for some night espesially during this damn osladian offensive I can hear the men call out for help or be put out of the misery. Sadly with the osladian lines so far back and my comrades and I being told to conserve ammo have to hear the wails of the dead throughout the night and early day before they’ve finally submitted to the pain or have frozen over.

Yet what’s even worse then the damned winter nights is the orders my damn lieutenant calls out. He expects day in and day out to hold the line against the far better equipped osladian forces. He has us barely use any coverage and because of the zellonian chain of command permit little room for error we must do as we are told. Even when less than half of the division is armed and instead must be ready to pick up a rifle at a moment's notice. Oh how I’ve seen how many times the osladians have pushed and while we’re able to push them back due to the harsh conditions, I know that it is truly because of our men and what we’re fighting for. As I can see in all of the men around me the tenacity we are to save our families and loved ones for if we fail here only more burnings and death will come for we remember Nervington and shall never soon forget.

Finally my lovely May I hope you are well and continue to write me, for your letters and thoughts have kept me going all this time and without them I feel I wouldn’t truly know what I’d be fighting for. Well the osladian bombardment is starting again we must be prepared. Write me soon.

Love, Nathaniel.

February 26th,1900
6th Army HQ
General Harrington’s Tent

The general rubbed his eyes as he looked over the map, the very same he’s been looking at for hours now, the only difference is the silence as with nightfall the osladian offensive cease which allows for some R&R. The Genera had heard reports of faltering at the southern front and now in the north this month long offensive has put his men on overdrive. Something would have to be done to relieve the men and seeing as the Zellonian Royal Navy has been of no help in cutting off supplies it would come down to Zellonian might and strategy that would be needed to win this war. It was at that moment that Captain Cutler came through the tent. With the proper respect the captain took off his hat and gave a salute before cutting to the chase. “General,” The captain sighed “I know things look down but I may have a solution.” The captain walked up to the map and began pointing at positions. “Sir, I believe if we stationed men along here and pulled from here to rein force we maybe able to keep our fighting chance.” The General shook his head. “I was thinking of something far more risky. If we pulled from here and moved along here we’d be able catch them by surprise no?” the captain eyes widened “Sir, you wouldn’t risk that would you men would be slaughtered.” The general looked at the captain dead in the eyes “We need to win this war captain, I believe this will work prepare the men. Pick the finest for this task come april we move.” The captain saluted and rushed out to make the preparations while the general wrote to Hawkthrone.

The Zeel

Zeel attacked

The capital of zeel was attacked, our king nearly taken hostage or worse killed. Luckily our brave men guarding the capital were able to make quick work against the kalpian threat. Their men ended up surrendering as well as the capture of Brigadier General Bernhard Ewald Larenz. All men will be held as prisoners of war and General Larenz will be interrogated for information. In other news the city of Jovington was finally reclaimed by our forces pushing the kalpians off our land.

What you can do to help

In order to raise money and morale for the war effort, Minister Norington plans to visit Jovington and Kenlth before returning to zeel. If you have some extra food, money or other services you can provide to the troops bring them down to the war rallies. You can do your part and save zellonian lives.

Black Weekend

In darker news, an osladian offensive caused the death of over 6,000 zellonians and nearly broke past the lines and got into zellonia proper. Luckily our brave men were able to push them back and hold the line but some people doubt it’ll be for long.

Nervington Attacked

On October 12th reports came in that Osladian forces disembarked along the western coasts of zellonia and besieged Nervington. While the armies of zellonia had prepared for an attack from the south no forces were left in the west. The osladian force continues to push east unmatched but from a source at the Zellonian war department says the brave Zellonian Royal Army is preparing a counteroffensive and prove how great and grand the nation of Zellonia is.

Winter Weather

The first few snows of the Zellonia winter began to fall in the last few weeks and everyone's is going nuts. With such a nice summer and production going well, specialist believe this mighty winter will cause some problems especially for those who’ve not updated with the times.

Neighbors plea

The government of zellonia has been held up in the war office for months now and while we believe that we can win this war. But many think we should begin negotiations with neighboring and foreign powers for aide. Specifically memoital and the marnish kingdom to the north. For many believe this war will rage on for time to come.

Weapons of War

Smoke from Guntherson’s cigarette blew into the wind as he stood looking out at the sea. “So you wish for me to provide for the entire military of Zellonia?” He chuckled “Do you not see how small my factory is, if I take this contract it will take a year at least. That’s assuming everything goes to plan. Assuming the navy holds it own and can keep winning. They can can’t they?” Guntherson turned around to face Mr.Frankson an official from the Zellonian war department. Mr.Frankson took a moment before finally standing up. “The Zellonian navy has already proven itself capable, however the army on the other hand desperately needs the arms before it can even begin to think about combat. That is where you come in, not only can we not rely on supplies from other countries making it to us if they wanted to, many dislike our display of force over the straits.” Guntherson took a long breathe from his cigarette and nodded slowly before bending down to sign the documents “Very well we’ll begin the operations, though when Zellonia is victorious don’t forget who helped you. An increase in this factory’s operating value would do well not only for me but for Zellonia as well especially in future endeavors.” Mr.Frankson smiled as he shook the man’s hand before collecting the papers and hurrying back to the war office to help the mobilization effort.

King Zeel’s Cabinet

“And that gentlemen I believe is how we can and will win this war.” Admiral Vern said as he turned from the map of the inland ocean to the other ministers and king. While the ministers all seemed fine the king shook his head though he was in no position to judge having never been in the military nor had prior military experience. He could only hold his tongue till the military failed. Mr. Norington the head councilor jumped in “Well done admiral, should this strategy work which I do fully believe it will what will be terms for victory?” All them took a moment and thought before Norington continued “Well aside from our current control and taxation of the straits I believe reparations are in order from oslad as well as dismantling their navy or transfer of ownership and a demilitarized land along their side of the straits.” The men clapped at his proposal and the king nodded but kept his true thoughts to himself. Right as the men were about to leave a messenger ran into the room with an important slip, upon Norington’s command he read it aloud. “On this day September 6th, the Kalpian Republic will join forces with the Osladian Empire and declare war on the kingdom of Zellonia.” All the men looked shocked and no idea what to do. Finally the king stood to give an answer “The Kalpian whores have sold themselves to the Osladians. Well, if they want a war so be it. I suggest we implement our plan against oslad now, and our next meeting we shall tackle both issues at once. Gentlemen I want only the best suggestions now good day.” The king turned around and with reginald at his side he walked away slowly thinking how dark this war has become and only how more severe the punishment that will be put upon zellonia should they lose.

Orders

The Zellonians officially give war terms to Oslad,
1.The Strait and lake remain part of the Zellonian Kingdom.
2.Oslad shall have a demilitarized zone on their side of the strait.
3.Oslad fleet will be broken apart of seized.
4.Oslad will pay war reparations for all damages caused in the war.

The war goals against kalpia are unknown but likely the same until officalized.

Oslandian War Declaration

“Once again congratulations gentleman to a victorious battle. I’d like to especially thank Minister Vern and Admiral Helg for appointing Admiral Bock. Cheers gentlemen” Head of Council Travis Norington said with drink in hand celebrating the victory with his fellow ministers and the high command of the military. It was upon that moment that the chamber’s door opened and Jared Reginald entered. Norington stood up and smiled “Ah, Mr.Reginald. I do apologize but this is a closed meeting amongst the leaders of the country.” Mr. Reginald nodded and stood aside as King James entered with cane in hand and reginald helping him remain steady. “Mr.Norington, I was unaware the man who appointed you all wasn’t allowed to this what, gathering?” Upon seeing their leader all the men stood up at attention at which point Mr.Norington addressed him directly “We’re merely celebrating your majesty over this victorious occasion. We won our first battle against the damned oslandians.” The king waddled forward taking a seat at the far end from the councilor all the men followed his lead and took a seat. The king chuckled “You call that a battle. We lost 2 ships and another which will be out of commission till the drydock is completed. No gentleman that was a skirmish one which we could have easily lost had it not been for Admiral Bock. We were lucky this time however next time I want plans laid out in front of me. During this state of emergency I shall take command of this kingdom and lead us through victory and fall with defeat. Now gentlemen listen closely to my plan.”

King Zeel’s Speech

As King Zeel stood out on his palace balcony on the 18th of July, he look below to see the crowd below him. All the men,women and children in the capital had come to see this rare occasion of the King’s speech. He wobbled up to the microphone being met with cheers of his people before he quieted them down. “Men and Women of Zellonia, We have won our first victory against the oslandian dogs. However, there will be many more battle that will have the be fought. I have great admiration for our military commander and believe that we shall come out of this on top. For this is a new golden era for Zellonia. HAIL THE RISING PHOENIX!” House Zeel’s personal banners unrolled and showed a bright gold phoenix flying up along a blue background. The crowd below cheered as the military began marching off and the band playing the National Anthem

Order

Oslandian Ships and goods are seized by Zellonia. Kalpian and Radenan ships are released as a sign of good faith.

The Empire of Zellonia

As the Emperor sat upon his throne room and slung into his chair he couldn’t help but think where the empire had gone. Once the great northern empire that ruled from their lands to the islands of Tara. Now all they had was this small northern wasteland no longer feared nor loved by the continent. The Emperor turned and looked upon the reports his ministers had left him and sighed. After taking a bit he wrote up a list of orders for his ministers and officers to follow before finally calling in his long time assistant Reginald.

“Yes, your majesty?”
“Ah, Reginald. I’ve drawn up the orders for the ministers if you would be so kind as to give it to them so they may begin immediately.” The emperor said in a raspy voice.
The assistant nodded before sighing “One other thing your majesty. I was just informed your brother Prince Theodore escaped from the prison and is on his way to the Tsardom of Radena.”
The emperor stood up and walked slowly to the assistant wobbling due to his weak leg. “WHAT DID YOU SAY! MY BROTHER ESCAPED!” The emperor cried out. “ALERT ALL POSTS, STATION MEN AT THE BORDER. He mustn’t be allowed to leave.” The assistant eyes opened shocked and saluted before running away.

Several moments later the city bells could be heard and he know his men were on the move.The emperor slowly waddled back to his desk and slumped down praying for the return of his brother.

Order

Construction on a drydocks and Armaments factory beginl. Troopers are placed as Tsardom border.
