Chapter 37: Battle on three fronts
January 20. 1259
Since the peace with the Rhodoks one month ago, things have been going fairly well. However, a border incident with Swadia happened, and King Harlaus is not at all happy. It all begun with some Vaegir peasants that stole from Tadsamesh, a Swadian village, deeply tucked into our territories. It is understandable, that Harlaus is disappointed at this incident, because of their war with the Nords.
Both the Nords and the Swadians are really weak and the lords have all kinds of quarrels between them. There's a lot of defecting on the Nords, who mostly turn to the Rhodoks or us. Understandable, as we have a powerful economy and lots of military power. On the other hand, King Harlaus is getting paranoid. He thinks all his lords are going to defect, so he charges them with treason, and bans them from their kingdom. They also go to either the Vaegirs or the Rhodoks. It seems like we are the only stable kingdoms left in this hell hole...
January 21. 1259
The Khergits are hungering for more territories, and it seems like their Khan, Sanjar, is planning on declaring war with us. So be it. The Sarranids have, however, been badly beaten by the Khergits, so they are still admirable foes, compared to the Swadians or the Nords, who are claiming on to the last territories they have near the coast.
Lately, I have been training lots of men. In times of peace, you must prepare for war, a wise man once said. Pity there aren't any wise men left, only traitors, cowards and fools.
January 23. 1259
I guess I was right. The Khergits declared war upon us. There may be an effect on the other kingdoms to declare war on us too, while we are already busy on one front. Doru has been ready for this moment, and he has a plan ready: To take the entire lower steppe. That includes the city of Narra, Unuzdaq castle and Malayurg castle, and all their villages. Sounds a bit drastic, but I like the plan. The Swadians are near their breaking point, as Harlaus charged 2 lords for treason, on one day! The Nords have had defects, but King Ragnar tries to keep his head cold. He can't do that for too long though...
Doru has engaged into the Khergit territories with an admirable army already. He heads for the city of Narra. Intensely fortified as it is, he has all reason to believe that it will be a bloody siege. But as soon as Narra falls, the other castles are easy targets, with little supplies and troops.
January 28. 1259
Narra fell. Malayurg fell. Unuzdaq is a hard one though. But it will fall. The peasants there have to walk days to get to Tulga, where they can sell their goods. The Swadians and Nords made peace with each other, and soon, they declared war on us. They feel we are a too great threat. They want to balance out the power between the factions.
It's a pity though. I have never had any bad intentions or thoughts to the Swadians. Although, they are no great threat, and I will avoid fighting them. The Nords, however, are looking for a beating. And that beating will come from me, most likely. They are so weak now, that I could beat them alone, only if they didn't have all these top trained huscarls in their garrisons.
The Khergits are posing a threat to us, but I feel that our whole kingdom shouldn't stay on the eastern front, we need to focus on the west too. If we lose Dhirim or Wercheg to the Nords or the Swadians, it would be catastrophic for our economy and morale. Also, they would get a chance of recovering from these wars if they get some income and goods.
February 5. 1259
The Khergits have realized that this isn't the war they want to be in. They offer a peace treaty, and Yaroglek accepts it, as he has won much in this war, and doesn't want to lose it. The Rhodoks, however, are not happy to see us crush every opposing force, and joins in on the war. It is still against 3 factions, but this time, it is all in the west.
February 9. 1259
Dhirim was besieged by the tiny Swadian army! 300 men stood outside Dhirim. Unfortunately for them, Doru had amassed an army of 1200 men. We ambushed them, and they had to fight a great battle. Their noble knights, were not useful for too long, as our horsemen and archers plow them down. The entire event was chaotic. The entire Swadian army was crushed in the great battle. We could now loot freely on Swadian ground! Doru frowns.
«We will not have time to loot the Swadians. We will have to respond quickly on a mass attack from the Nords, on Tehlrog castle» he says.
The other lords sigh disappointedly. So much loot and wealth could be taken, but we simply didn't have time. There was this rumor that the Nords have amassed an army, greater than they ever have had before, even in their weakened state.
Soon, I hear the dreaded words from a scout. Reindi is besieged by 700 Rhodoks. I must hurry there, to aid the garrison!
The Swadians lost greatly at the battle near Dhirim.

Awesome, enough space in your chapters, good screenshots, even though they are a bit small.
Your writing is grammatically correct, but there is one thing. Your sentences lack a little touch of something...
Its like: First this, then that. <-period
A little more describing, going in on persons feelings et cetera, then I could give it a 9/10. Right now, 7/10, its very good!

Hehe, thanks for the comment, I try to keep screen shots small because they are just describing the surroundings for themselves. And about describing, yeah, I've thought of that too but there isn't too much to touch right now

Chapter 38: Epilogue
February 15. 1259
It was as if the world around them had stopped. These dreaded words, on this dreaded message. King Yaroglek sunk his head in his hands. The Rhodoks were far from noble. They had started executing all prisoners, including nobles. Warriv was probably hanging now on the gallows at Reindi castle... A rage was burning brightly in the hearts of the boyars. Yaroglek ended the feast, and told everyone to prepare for a campaign, powered by the lust of revenge.
August 10. 1259
The Vaegirs had been severely weakened when they lost the battle against sultan Hakim a few weeks ago. Most of the boyars were taken prisoner, and no one could defend the southern part of the Vaegir kingdom. Sultan Hakim saw this great opportunity, and took his great army on a campaign towards the Vaegir kingdom.
September 11. 1259
Sultan Hakim had finally ended the campaign, after taking Narra, Halmar and Dhirim. The Rhodoks were preparing for a new attack, planning to take as much as they could. The Swadians had fought fiercely between the Nords, and both of their fates were in the hands of the more powerful kingdoms. Would the Rhodoks declare war upon these once great, but now petty kingdoms?
June 20. 1268
King Graveth had died by a disease at his city, Curaw. The last Vaegir soldiers fled over the mountains, this year, towards Geroia. Both the Swadians and the Nords had simply been crushed by the powerful Rhodok kingdom several years ago, and been made servants of Graveth. It seemed as if nothing could stop the greatness of the Rhodoks anymore.
Somewhere in the middle of a forest, in the darkest taiga, there was a boy, and his mother. This boy lost his father several years ago to the Rhodoks, and he had a lust of revenge, deep inside him.
And onwards...
The Sarranid sultanate had invaded the Khergit territories, forcing the Khergits to flee behind the steppe, to a distant land. Calradia was now divided into 2 great factions: The kingdom of Rhodoks and the Sarranid Sultanate. These would fight bitter wars, for hundreds of years, slowly turning Calradia into a war-torn battlefield. The once beautiful plains had been trampled by armies, and the old Calradic cities had been burned.
The Rhodoks held elections every 7th year after Graveths death, and all the kings were wasting men and resources on this great war. Khalim was the most aggressive sultan for the Sarranids in several centuries after Hakim was killed. Many great battles occured, but none with decisive results. No one could end this war anymore...
