<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Positively frightful.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
<br />
Laqi is notable for his inability to adapt to his present and foreseeably ongoing condition of undeath. Specifically this has led him to devote much of his post-mortal life to pursuing the sensual gratification that he once enjoyed as a 'Breather' (the Minarborian term for a mortal human being) no matter how fleeting and imperfect in form those pleasures may prove to be. He continues to consume human cuisine (in staggering quantities) and has a marked preference for warm-blooded sexual partners (generally, much to their dismay). Some of his efforts to recapture the basics of corporeal existence have taken on drastic form; particularly noteworthy in this regard the installation of a [http://www.shyriathsden.net/minarboria/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=169 putrefact] in the place of his defunct digestive tract. <br />
<br />
That particular act of grotesque blasphemy had the accidental effect of transforming him into a devotional path to salvation amongst certain members of the [http://www.shyriathsden.net/minarboria/wiki/index.php?title=Minarborealism local religion], a status that Laqi notoriously abuses in accepting offerings of haute cuisine, offered up willingly by a throng of devotees to tempt his synthetically wired palate. Whilst he is enjoying this, Laqi remains oblivious to the eventual likelihood that he will finish his days chained to an alter in a Sansabury church once his tenure as ambassador has ended.<br />
<br />
Or perhaps he is aware and is already formulating his next improbable escape act. Only time will tell.<br />
<br />
On occasions when he is particularly bored, Laqi is known to be fond of encouraging ''theological dialogue'' between his various chaplains who serve the Church of Elwynn, the Order of Mors, the Church of Minarbor and the Order of the Liberated Syzygy respectively. He will typically reward whoever is left standing at the end of the fight with a bundle of [[Erb]] in thanks for the entertainment - Minarboria being a post-monetary economy, these prizes are keenly sought.<br />
<br />
== Relationships ==<br />
<br />
For most of his life Laqi's relationships usually ended with crying or demands for payment. His employers, whether [[Royston Merrick]], [[Kaiser Aiomide]], [[Tokaray al-Osman]] or [[Thorgils Tarjeisson]], seldom proved to be especially benevolent, and usually had him in mind for dubious or suicidally dangerous tasks for which they were unwilling to lose anyone they actually cared about. <br />
<br />
Nonetheless, since being deposited in Minarboria and steadily, in the face of all probability, establishing himself as a revenant of means and substance, he has gradually found coalesced around him a number of people who are in his service of more or less their own volition. At the last count his retinue comprised of:<br />
<br />
*Hafizov (a Kossar factotum of ingeniously brutal efficiency and doubtful loyalty);<br />
*[[Huldah Llynadorion]] (ESB-Jörmungandr Group Liaison and Anthropologist);<br />
*Clarissa Moor (Protocol Officer & Concubine);<br />
*Henrietta Moor (Deputy Protocol Officer, Secretary & Concubine);<br />
*Lusken Malkaret ([[SHINE|''Cultural Attache'']]).<br />
*''Chef de cuisine''<br />
*Treasurer<br />
*Chaplain ([[Church of Elwynn]])<br />
*Chaplain ([[Cedrism|Order of Mors]])<br />
*Dissitor (Church of Minarbor)<br />
*Dissitor (Order of the Liberated Syzygy)<br />
*5 Male Servants<br />
*5 Female Servants<br />
*10 Diplomats<br />
*3 Huntsmen<br />
*3 Falconers <small>(as far as anyone can tell, Laqi only keeps falcons for the ''sheer bloody ostentation of it'')</small><br />
*6 Esquires<br />
*4 Grooms<br />
*4 Cooks<br />
<br />
His relations with Lich society, although marred by the not entirely infrequent succession of scandals which have marked out his career, are also of a more enduring and stable nature than with his employers back east, with the tentative consensus that ''Laqi had very little in common with the Babkhi chauvinists and zealots of the Elwynnese N&H Party who constituted his employers, and whose rather narrow definition of legitimate civil society had resulted in Laqi's posting here in the first place.''[http://www.shyriathsden.net/minarboria/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&p=4241#p4176(1)]<br />

[[File:Thorgilssansmaskiv.png|250px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">Thorgils Tarjeisson, Administrator and public servant</div> ]]<br />
==Early Life==<br />
Born in 1593 in the city of Slevik, [[Normark]]. Emigrated to [[Elwynn]] in 1608 as an undocumented migrant amongst a party of two hundred and fifty displaced persons. Settled in [[Caligae]]. Shared dormitory with [[Aasmund Vigeland]]. Joined the [[Union Defence Force]] in 1613 with a recommendation from General Secretary Vigeland. Transferred to the People's Militia in 1615. Deployed to the Green Valley ([[Araxion]]) in 1616. In the same year he was inured and captured by Church of Wayne fanatics after falling into a concealed bear pit (a large earthen pit with sharpened pikes in the bottom). A prisoner of war, he was transferred into the custody of Brettish forces and held for three years in captivity across the [[Elwynn (River)#The Blue Elwynn|Blue Elwynn]] in unsettled territory. During his imprisonment, his left foot turned gangrenous and had to be amputated. Released after the armistice was signed in 1619 and repatriated in a prisoner swap later that year. To replace his foot he was provided with a government issued prosthesis that was unfortunately moulded to a right foot of a different size. Sent to Echo City for rehabilitation therapy. Assigned to an administrative post in a refugee reception centre in Islus in early summer 1621.<br />
<br />
Sentenced by the [[Court of Star Chamber|Star Chamber]] to six years of contemplation in a monastery on [[Raikoth]] for the rape of Ergonian asylum seeker Kelly Kupliva in 1621. Released early from the Kphoraban Monastery on the Nadir mountain range in 1623 after attaining 'proper perspective regarding his past misdeeds' (or in practice by ingratiating himself sufficiently to the Abbot to earn favour) he was taken by sleigh to the city of [[Thule|Tala]] and there permitted to study amongst the ruins and work for opals, the local unit of currency. Employed by Councillor Ulni to read and interpret correspondence to the new royal government in [[Eliria]]. He was dispatched by Ulni to [[Amokolia]] in 1624 to observe and report back on rumours that the [[Fjǫrleif Hallbjörnsdóttir|Steward's daughter]] was performing in public martial arts competitions. Thorgils was able to confirm that this was, indeed, the case. Scandalised the Council of Nine refrained from further cooperation with Eliria and even declined to report the disappearance of the Duke who had been dispatched to rule over them.<br />
<br />
Instead of returning to Raikoth, Thorgils pressed on into the interior of [[Benacia]], passing across the border and through separatist regions of [[Amokolia]] and down the [[Elwynn#Blue Elwynn|Blue Elwynn]] to [[Shirekeep]].<br />
<br />
After arriving in [[Shirekeep]] in early summer of 1625, he found shelter amongst the dosshouses of the docks district where he was known as ''Thor Tanglefoot'' and ''Limpfoot Gils''. Being no good on his feet and having no interest to go back behind a desk for a while, Thorgils learned a new trade as an abattoir slaughterman down in the bloody shambles of [[the Old City]]. It was discovered that Thorgils had a knack for the butchers trade and could readily turn a cleaver and saw to the hewing of any variety of meat from sinew and bone.<br />
<br />
==Citizen==<br />
<br />
In 1634 he applied for formal recognition as a citizen of the [[Elwynn|Elwynnese Union]]. Owing to his chequered past, the Royal Court in Eliria refused to grand acknowledgement and instead Thorgils took a boat down to [[Teldrin]] in the Grand Duchy of [[Goldshire]] and received citizenship there from the Grand Duchess [[Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion]].<br />
<br />
Not long afterwards, a new pamphlet was distributed in Shirekeep entitled 'the Semblance of a Mild Dilemma'. Written as an expression of regret at not being allowed to return to his adoptive homeland it was also a polemic calling upon the Elwynnese to not let their ancestral cultures not be drowned out but through diligence and hard work to instead preserve that heritage long into the future. The pamphlet was well received and convinced the Court of [[King Noah]] to rescind their original ban and to grant Thorgils permission to enter Elwynn.<br />
<br />
==Businessman==<br />
<br />
In the meantime, Thorgils had been busy. After taking up lodgings in the Bethlem Hotel, formerly Bethlem Asylum, he encountered two other exiles, Daniyal Siskander Dravot, an infamous [[Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels|ex-cudgeller]], and Ernst Cryptsinger a former Instructing Justice of the [[Court of Star Chamber]]. Both had been exiles since the Communist Revolution. They were living a discrete but not uncomfortable existence in [[Teldrin]], the least lunatic of the notable towns of [[Lunaris]], and were willing to invest their remaining capital into the venture that Thorgils now proposed. <br />
<br />
On his journey south Thorgils had noted the unregulated nature of the river trade between Shirekeep and Musica and how no tier of government was asserting itself in either monitoring or taxing that trade, to the extent that smugglers were growing lax and river pirates were plaguing the [[Elwynn (River)#The Red Elwynn|Red Elwynn]]. If a company was put together with a monopoly on trade into Teldrin, they might soon be able to fund a river patrol to ward of pirates begin levying tolls on the river. This proposal the three men took to the Aldermen of Teldrin and found them amenable. The next step was to lobby the new Grand Duchess herself. This they did by promising a tenth of all yearly profits. The result was the issuance of a Ducal Warrant and the formation of the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]].<br />
<br />
==The Resistible Rise of Thorgils Tarjeisson==<br />
[[File:Thorgils in his pomp.png|500px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">The Lunatic Gazette, a periodical of the County of Lunaris, took aim at the ascent of Tarjeisson in Goldshire with this satirical cartoon.</div> ]]<br />
<br />
'''Appointment as Arandur of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]]'''<br><br />
On the 23rd of Elroqpin in the year 1634, [[Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion|Queen Noor]], as Emira of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]], issued a Farman transferring the government of the precinct to Thorgils Tarjeisson. Uncomfortable at accepting an aristocratic title with [[Babkhi]] overtones, Thorgils declined to be recognised as Emir, instead returning that title to Noor. He was however prepared to take on the duties of Governor and asked to be recognised as ''Arandur'' (Steward) of the Emirate. This was achieved through special dispensation in the Royal Decree of the 5th of Vixaslaa, 1634 granted by [[King Noah of Elwynn|King Noah]]. <br />
<br />
His first act after appointment was to reform the Elwnameh, the customary body of law in Alalehzamin and Utasia, based off the laws of Baron [[Ardashir]] and the ordnances of the County of [[Lesser Zjandaria]]. In their place was a single fundamental law of the Emirate of Alalehzamin. The Farman created a Durbar of all the duly elected Mayors of the Bailiwicks of Alalehzamin and Utasia that would meet annually to legislate on matters within the purview of the powers devolved to the Precincts by the King's Court. The new Elwnameh also set out the nature of the social contract between the Emirate and civil society as well as establishing the [[Emirati Riddare]] as a Civil Defence Force. <br />
<br />
In addition the Elwnameh also contained significant new regulations concerning transport, sanitation and household infrastructure. Although criticised as absurd reproductions of the worst elements of [[Babkha|Babkhan]] bureaucratic excess, the regulations contained in the Elwnameh provided an element of standardisation that had hitherto been largely absent. The largest single project initiated as a result of these reforms was the construction of the Royal Road that would link [[Ardashirshahr]] with [[Islus]] and [[Eliria]]. The Royal Road was intended to be built on a gargantuan scale, with a uniform layout consisting of two carriageways comprising of four lanes each proceeding in opposite directions, with a central partition set between the opposite carriageways carrying two parallel railway tracks for a high-speed commuter train service. The entire structure was set upon a raised platform of pounded earth five hundred metres in width and raised eleven metres above ground level on level terrain and of whatever height would be required to follow the gradient incline. The road was then to be flanked with a dyke of eleven metres depth and eleven metres width on either side. <br />
<br />
To finance this project in particular, the Elwnameh reforms included the introduction of a monopoly on the production, distribution and sale of all psychoactive substances, a notoriously broad category extending from opium to coffee. The predictable result of which has been an explosion in black market racketeering and an equally vicious government led crackdown and enforcement effort by the [[Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels|Gentlemen-at-Cudgels]] and the Emirati Riddare. Opinion remains divided on whether the Monopolies are a lucrative source of revenue or a massive and unsustainable drain on the law-enforcement budgets.<br />
<br />
What is known is that the promise of revenues derived from the enforcement of the Monopolies have been pledged as collateral for the operating costs of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin which provides Banking Services to the Emirate, essentially permitting the importation of [[Teldrin Thaler|Teldrin Thalers]] as currency and the issuance of letters of credit by the Emirati Government. The contract for the administration of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin was awarded to the Financial Services Directorate of the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]], of which Thorgils Tarjeisson is of course Chairman. The suggestion of impropriety is naturally rejected by the Emirati Government which goes to great lengths to point out that the Financial Services Directorate is headed by Dr Ernst Cryptsinger and that a Jingdao Ethics Wall exists between the Financial Directorate and the Commodities Directorate headed by the Chairman and also within the Financial Directorate to separate the Imperial & Emirati Bank from the Bountiful Harvest Limited which administers the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Alalehzamin & Utasia, currently heavily invested in the Royal Road Project, and the expanding sub-prime derivatives market that is fuelling the household Ziggurat construction boom, through loans to the Emirati Government which in turn makes grants to facilitate the construction and proper maintenance of the required building infrastructure required for a lawful household residence (10 metre high raised mud-brick platform with a five storey residence built on top, surrounded by 15 metre high outer perimeter wall and 3 metre deep dry moat), in addition to the regular mortgage for other residential structures within the household ziggurat complex. <br />
<br />
Arandur Tarjeisson seized upon a comparatively minor issue to demonstrate his political independence from the significant Babkhi minority community which has hitherto defined the character of the Emirate. After touring the second hand book stores of Ribat-e Kapav (southern district of the city of [[Ardashirshahr]]) he chanced upon an antique book known as the [[Foibles of the Unbelievers]] and immediately realised its incendiary potential. After an amicable discussion with the bookseller, a Esau Aalai Kasanrajon, he discovered that the book had a cult following in the [[Babkhi]] and [[Elw]] community for its xenophobic and darkly humoured depictions of [[Boreals]], [[Elfinshi]] and the [[Froyalanish]] as foolish, effeminate and depraved creatures deserving only of a lingering death. <br />
<br />
With this knowledge in hand, the Arandur ventured to Eliria with a petition to the King's Court that the book should be banned for incitement to hatred and harm to race relations in the Elwynnese Union. Rather awkwardly, he was opposed in this petition by [[Deimos Jasonides]], the Secretary for the Board of Directors of the ESB Group. A Royal Rescript in response to the petition was received in early 1635 instructing the civil authorities to prosecute vendors who sell the Foibles of the Unbelievers under Article 2 of Chapter 3 of Elwynns Straflov. Gleefully, upon his return to Ardashirshahr, the Arandur summoned the Stallari and the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels, and made to confront Esau Aalai Kasanrajon for selling him his copy of the Foibles. Aqa Kasanrajon was subsequently dispatched to [[His Serenity's Gaol Dragonsfold|Dragonsfold Gaol]], wherein he was held awaiting the pleasure of the revived [[Court of Star Chamber]].<br />

<br />
'''Controversy with Minarboria'''<br><br />
In spite of being a consistent advocate of good relations with Minarboria and fostering trade relations both through the ESB Group and the placing of a notable defence contract, the conduct of a military exercise on the island of [[Zy-Rodun]] featuring a ''thin expy of Minarboria'' as the antagonist touched a raw nerve with the government of that realm, coinciding as it did with changing media perceptions of the the undead in the media output of the [[Elwynnese Commons]] which resulted in the lodging of a harshly worded [http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=234&t=17579 formal query] by the Government of Minarboria with the Ministry of the Exterior in 1638. The exercise known as 'Mulcher', a part of the far larger preparedness test known as [[Operation Long Haul]] coincided with a long holiday enjoyed by the Minister of Military Affairs which put him in a difficult spot for seeking to allay the concerns expressed. Fortunately however, the explanation he provided, together with a more thorough and detailed response by [[Kaiser Hjalmar]] appeared to go some way towards clearing up misunderstandings and calming a potentially tense situation.<br />

<br />
In 1642, having loyally served Kaiser Hjalmar Redquill for four [[Elwynnese Calendar|Elw years]] (1639-1642), Thorgils unexpectedly received the departing Kaiser's nomination and blessing to ascend to the Mango Throne. As the nomination was uncontested, the process of subjecting the nomination to a vote in the Landsraad was foregone and Thorgils ascended to the Kaisership as [[Kaiser Dominus Tarjeisson]].<br />
<br />
After establishing his government and trimming back the power of the Imperial Household, Thorgils celebrated his good fortune by beginning negotiations for the contracting of a dual marriage alliance with the [[Blackstone|Lordship of Blackstone]] and the [[Sathrati|Emirate of Sathrati]]. The Lord of Blackstone offered up Lena Verion, albeit with a hefty price-tag, and rejected the Kaiser's counter-offer that the marriage would be in lieu of an invasion.<br />

[[File:Thorgilssansmaskiv.png|250px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">Thorgils Tarjeisson, Administrator and public servant</div> ]]<br />
==Early Life==<br />
Born in 1593 in the city of Slevik, [[Normark]]. Emigrated to [[Elwynn]] in 1608 as an undocumented migrant amongst a party of two hundred and fifty displaced persons. Settled in [[Caligae]]. Shared dormitory with [[Aasmund Vigeland]]. Joined the [[Union Defence Force]] in 1613 with a recommendation from General Secretary Vigeland. Transferred to the People's Militia in 1615. Deployed to the Green Valley ([[Araxion]]) in 1616. In the same year he was inured and captured by Church of Wayne fanatics after falling into a concealed bear pit (a large earthen pit with sharpened pikes in the bottom). A prisoner of war, he was transferred into the custody of Brettish forces and held for three years in captivity across the [[Elwynn (River)#The Blue Elwynn|Blue Elwynn]] in unsettled territory. During his imprisonment, his left foot turned gangrenous and had to be amputated. Released after the armistice was signed in 1619 and repatriated in a prisoner swap later that year. To replace his foot he was provided with a government issued prosthesis that was unfortunately moulded to a right foot of a different size. Sent to Echo City for rehabilitation therapy. Assigned to an administrative post in a refugee reception centre in Islus in early summer 1621.<br />
<br />
Sentenced by the [[Court of Star Chamber|Star Chamber]] to six years of contemplation in a monastery on [[Raikoth]] for the rape of Ergonian asylum seeker Kelly Kupliva in 1621. Released early from the Kphoraban Monastery on the Nadir mountain range in 1623 after attaining 'proper perspective regarding his past misdeeds' (or in practice by ingratiating himself sufficiently to the Abbot to earn favour) he was taken by sleigh to the city of [[Thule|Tala]] and there permitted to study amongst the ruins and work for opals, the local unit of currency. Employed by Councillor Ulni to read and interpret correspondence to the new royal government in [[Eliria]]. He was dispatched by Ulni to [[Amokolia]] in 1624 to observe and report back on rumours that the [[Fjǫrleif Hallbjörnsdóttir|Steward's daughter]] was performing in public martial arts competitions. Thorgils was able to confirm that this was, indeed, the case. Scandalised the Council of Nine refrained from further cooperation with Eliria and even declined to report the disappearance of the Duke who had been dispatched to rule over them.<br />
<br />
Instead of returning to Raikoth, Thorgils pressed on into the interior of [[Benacia]], passing across the border and through separatist regions of [[Amokolia]] and down the [[Elwynn#Blue Elwynn|Blue Elwynn]] to [[Shirekeep]].<br />
<br />
After arriving in [[Shirekeep]] in early summer of 1625, he found shelter amongst the dosshouses of the docks district where he was known as ''Thor Tanglefoot'' and ''Limpfoot Gils''. Being no good on his feet and having no interest to go back behind a desk for a while, Thorgils learned a new trade as an abattoir slaughterman down in the bloody shambles of [[the Old City]]. It was discovered that Thorgils had a knack for the butchers trade and could readily turn a cleaver and saw to the hewing of any variety of meat from sinew and bone.<br />
<br />
==Citizen==<br />
<br />
In 1634 he applied for formal recognition as a citizen of the [[Elwynn|Elwynnese Union]]. Owing to his chequered past, the Royal Court in Eliria refused to grand acknowledgement and instead Thorgils took a boat down to [[Teldrin]] in the Grand Duchy of [[Goldshire]] and received citizenship there from the Grand Duchess [[Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion]].<br />
<br />
Not long afterwards, a new pamphlet was distributed in Shirekeep entitled 'the Semblance of a Mild Dilemma'. Written as an expression of regret at not being allowed to return to his adoptive homeland it was also a polemic calling upon the Elwynnese to not let their ancestral cultures not be drowned out but through diligence and hard work to instead preserve that heritage long into the future. The pamphlet was well received and convinced the Court of [[King Noah]] to rescind their original ban and to grant Thorgils permission to enter Elwynn.<br />
<br />
==Businessman==<br />
<br />
In the meantime, Thorgils had been busy. After taking up lodgings in the Bethlem Hotel, formerly Bethlem Asylum, he encountered two other exiles, Daniyal Siskander Dravot, an infamous [[Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels|ex-cudgeller]], and Ernst Cryptsinger a former Instructing Justice of the [[Court of Star Chamber]]. Both had been exiles since the Communist Revolution. They were living a discrete but not uncomfortable existence in [[Teldrin]], the least lunatic of the notable towns of [[Lunaris]], and were willing to invest their remaining capital into the venture that Thorgils now proposed. <br />
<br />
On his journey south Thorgils had noted the unregulated nature of the river trade between Shirekeep and Musica and how no tier of government was asserting itself in either monitoring or taxing that trade, to the extent that smugglers were growing lax and river pirates were plaguing the [[Elwynn (River)#The Red Elwynn|Red Elwynn]]. If a company was put together with a monopoly on trade into Teldrin, they might soon be able to fund a river patrol to ward of pirates begin levying tolls on the river. This proposal the three men took to the Aldermen of Teldrin and found them amenable. The next step was to lobby the new Grand Duchess herself. This they did by promising a tenth of all yearly profits. The result was the issuance of a Ducal Warrant and the formation of the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]].<br />
<br />
==The Resistible Rise of Thorgils Tarjeisson==<br />
[[File:Thorgils in his pomp.png|500px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">The Lunatic Gazette, a periodical of the County of Lunaris, took aim at the ascent of Tarjeisson in Goldshire with this satirical cartoon.</div> ]]<br />
<br />
'''Appointment as Arandur of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]]'''<br><br />
On the 23rd of Elroqpin in the year 1634, [[Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion|Queen Noor]], as Emira of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]], issued a Farman transferring the government of the precinct to Thorgils Tarjeisson. Uncomfortable at accepting an aristocratic title with [[Babkhi]] overtones, Thorgils declined to be recognised as Emir, instead returning that title to Noor. He was however prepared to take on the duties of Governor and asked to be recognised as ''Arandur'' (Steward) of the Emirate. This was achieved through special dispensation in the Royal Decree of the 5th of Vixaslaa, 1634 granted by [[King Noah of Elwynn|King Noah]]. <br />
<br />
His first act after appointment was to reform the Elwnameh, the customary body of law in Alalehzamin and Utasia, based off the laws of Baron [[Ardashir]] and the ordnances of the County of [[Lesser Zjandaria]]. In their place was a single fundamental law of the Emirate of Alalehzamin. The Farman created a Durbar of all the duly elected Mayors of the Bailiwicks of Alalehzamin and Utasia that would meet annually to legislate on matters within the purview of the powers devolved to the Precincts by the King's Court. The new Elwnameh also set out the nature of the social contract between the Emirate and civil society as well as establishing the [[Emirati Riddare]] as a Civil Defence Force. <br />
<br />
In addition the Elwnameh also contained significant new regulations concerning transport, sanitation and household infrastructure. Although criticised as absurd reproductions of the worst elements of [[Babkha|Babkhan]] bureaucratic excess, the regulations contained in the Elwnameh provided an element of standardisation that had hitherto been largely absent. The largest single project initiated as a result of these reforms was the construction of the Royal Road that would link [[Ardashirshahr]] with [[Islus]] and [[Eliria]]. The Royal Road was intended to be built on a gargantuan scale, with a uniform layout consisting of two carriageways comprising of four lanes each proceeding in opposite directions, with a central partition set between the opposite carriageways carrying two parallel railway tracks for a high-speed commuter train service. The entire structure was set upon a raised platform of pounded earth five hundred metres in width and raised eleven metres above ground level on level terrain and of whatever height would be required to follow the gradient incline. The road was then to be flanked with a dyke of eleven metres depth and eleven metres width on either side. <br />
<br />
To finance this project in particular, the Elwnameh reforms included the introduction of a monopoly on the production, distribution and sale of all psychoactive substances, a notoriously broad category extending from opium to coffee. The predictable result of which has been an explosion in black market racketeering and an equally vicious government led crackdown and enforcement effort by the [[Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels|Gentlemen-at-Cudgels]] and the Emirati Riddare. Opinion remains divided on whether the Monopolies are a lucrative source of revenue or a massive and unsustainable drain on the law-enforcement budgets.<br />
<br />
What is known is that the promise of revenues derived from the enforcement of the Monopolies have been pledged as collateral for the operating costs of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin which provides Banking Services to the Emirate, essentially permitting the importation of [[Teldrin Thaler|Teldrin Thalers]] as currency and the issuance of letters of credit by the Emirati Government. The contract for the administration of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin was awarded to the Financial Services Directorate of the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]], of which Thorgils Tarjeisson is of course Chairman. The suggestion of impropriety is naturally rejected by the Emirati Government which goes to great lengths to point out that the Financial Services Directorate is headed by Dr Ernst Cryptsinger and that a Jingdao Ethics Wall exists between the Financial Directorate and the Commodities Directorate headed by the Chairman and also within the Financial Directorate to separate the Imperial & Emirati Bank from the Bountiful Harvest Limited which administers the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Alalehzamin & Utasia, currently heavily invested in the Royal Road Project, and the expanding sub-prime derivatives market that is fuelling the household Ziggurat construction boom, through loans to the Emirati Government which in turn makes grants to facilitate the construction and proper maintenance of the required building infrastructure required for a lawful household residence (10 metre high raised mud-brick platform with a five storey residence built on top, surrounded by 15 metre high outer perimeter wall and 3 metre deep dry moat), in addition to the regular mortgage for other residential structures within the household ziggurat complex. <br />
<br />
Arandur Tarjeisson seized upon a comparatively minor issue to demonstrate his political independence from the significant Babkhi minority community which has hitherto defined the character of the Emirate. After touring the second hand book stores of Ribat-e Kapav (southern district of the city of [[Ardashirshahr]]) he chanced upon an antique book known as the [[Foibles of the Unbelievers]] and immediately realised its incendiary potential. After an amicable discussion with the bookseller, a Esau Aalai Kasanrajon, he discovered that the book had a cult following in the [[Babkhi]] and [[Elw]] community for its xenophobic and darkly humoured depictions of [[Boreals]], [[Elfinshi]] and the [[Froyalanish]] as foolish, effeminate and depraved creatures deserving only of a lingering death. <br />
<br />
With this knowledge in hand, the Arandur ventured to Eliria with a petition to the King's Court that the book should be banned for incitement to hatred and harm to race relations in the Elwynnese Union. Rather awkwardly, he was opposed in this petition by [[Deimos Jasonides]], the Secretary for the Board of Directors of the ESB Group. A Royal Rescript in response to the petition was received in early 1635 instructing the civil authorities to prosecute vendors who sell the Foibles of the Unbelievers under Article 2 of Chapter 3 of Elwynns Straflov. Gleefully, upon his return to Ardashirshahr, the Arandur summoned the Stallari and the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels, and made to confront Esau Aalai Kasanrajon for selling him his copy of the Foibles. Aqa Kasanrajon was subsequently dispatched to [[His Serenity's Gaol Dragonsfold|Dragonsfold Gaol]], wherein he was held awaiting the pleasure of the revived [[Court of Star Chamber]].<br />
<br />
'''Conduct of Elections to the Royal Parliament'''<br><br />
Complex three tier election for political parties and affiliated guilds. 141 delegates elected to 140 man delegation. Resolved after unfortunate accident befell the head of the EWP caucus. <br />
<br />
'''Reform of the [[People's Academy of Elwynn]]'''<br><br />
Sponsored restoration of the manuscript of the [[History of Elwynn]]. Proposed the appointment of new Board of Governance. Commissioned [[the Modern History of Elwynn]].<br />
<br />
'''Reorganisation of the Military of Shireroth'''<br><br />
1635 - appointed Chief Secretary of Military Affairs. <br><br />

'''Contract for the Royal Government of Goldshire'''<br><br />
<br />
'''Appointment as Royal Instructing Justice for Elwynn'''<br><br />
Campaigned for the revival of the Court of Star Chamber<br />
<br />
'''Controversy with Minarboria'''<br><br />
In spite of being a consistent advocate of good relations with Minarboria and fostering trade relations both through the ESB Group and the placing of a notable defence contract, the conduct of a military exercise on the island of [[Zy-Rodun]] featuring a ''thin expy of Minarboria'' as the antagonist touched a raw nerve with the government of that realm, coinciding as it did with changing media perceptions of the the undead in the media output of the [[Elwynnese Commons]] which resulted in the lodging of a harshly worded [http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=234&t=17579 formal query] by the Government of Minarboria with the Ministry of the Exterior in 1638. The exercise known as 'Mulcher', a part of the far larger preparedness test known as [[Operation Long Haul]] coincided with a long holiday enjoyed by the Minister of Military Affairs which put him in a difficult spot for seeking to allay the concerns expressed. Fortunately however, the explanation he provided, together with a more thorough and detailed response by [[Kaiser Hjalmar]] appeared to go some way towards clearing up misunderstandings and calming a potentially tense situation.<br />
<br />
'''The Vale of Angularis'''<br><br />
Transferred from [[Amokolia]] to [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]] by an Act of the [[Royal Parliament]] in 1638<br><br />
Subject to a [[The Journey to the West|tour of inspection]] by the Arandur of Alalehzamin and Utasia in 1639.<br />
<br />
===Operation Tymarian Sun===<br />
'''Main Article:''' ''[[Operation Tymarian Sun]]''<br />
<br />
==Objective attained: the Kaisership==<br />
'''Main Article''': [[Kaiser Dominus]]<br />
<br />
In 1642, having loyally served Kaiser Hjalmar Redquill for four [[Elwynnese Calendar|Elw years]] (1639-1642), Thorgils unexpectedly received the departing Kaiser's nomination and blessing to ascend to the Mango Throne. As the nomination was uncontested, the process of subjecting the nomination to a vote in the Landsraad was foregone and Thorgils ascended to the Kaisership as [[Kaiser Dominus Tarjeisson]].<br />
<br />
After establishing his government and trimming back the power of the Imperial Household, Thorgils celebrated his good fortune by beginning negotiations for the contracting of a dual marriage alliance with the [[Blackstone|Lordship of Blackstone]] and the [[Sathrati|Emirate of Sathrati]]. The Lord of Blackstone offered up Lena Verion, albeit with a hefty price-tag, and rejected the Kaiser's counter-offer that the marriage would be in lieu of an invasion.<br />

In their place was a single fundamental law of the Emirate of Alalehzamin. The Farman created a Durbar of all the duly elected Mayors of the Bailiwicks of Alalehzamin and Utasia that would meet annually to legislate on matters within the purview of the powers devolved to the Precincts by the King's Court. The new Elwnameh also set out the nature of the social contract between the Emirate and civil society as well as establishing the [[Emirati Riddare]] as a Civil Defence Force. <br />
<br />
In addition the Elwnameh also contained significant new regulations concerning transport, sanitation and household infrastructure. Although criticised as absurd reproductions of the worst elements of [[Babkha|Babkhan]] bureaucratic excess, the regulations contained in the Elwnameh provided an element of standardisation that had hitherto been largely absent. The largest single project initiated as a result of these reforms was the construction of the Royal Road that would link [[Ardashirshahr]] with [[Islus]] and [[Eliria]]. The Royal Road was intended to be built on a gargantuan scale, with a uniform layout consisting of two carriageways comprising of four lanes each proceeding in opposite directions, with a central partition set between the opposite carriageways carrying two parallel railway tracks for a high-speed commuter train service. The entire structure was set upon a raised platform of pounded earth five hundred metres in width and raised eleven metres above ground level on level terrain and of whatever height would be required to follow the gradient incline. The road was then to be flanked with a dyke of eleven metres depth and eleven metres width on either side. <br />
<br />
To finance this project in particular, the Elwnameh reforms included the introduction of a monopoly on the production, distribution and sale of all psychoactive substances, a notoriously broad category extending from opium to coffee. The predictable result of which has been an explosion in black market racketeering and an equally vicious government led crackdown and enforcement effort by the [[Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels|Gentlemen-at-Cudgels]] and the Emirati Riddare. Opinion remains divided on whether the Monopolies are a lucrative source of revenue or a massive and unsustainable drain on the law-enforcement budgets.<br />
<br />
What is known is that the promise of revenues derived from the enforcement of the Monopolies have been pledged as collateral for the operating costs of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin which provides Banking Services to the Emirate, essentially permitting the importation of [[Teldrin Thaler|Teldrin Thalers]] as currency and the issuance of letters of credit by the Emirati Government. The contract for the administration of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin was awarded to the Financial Services Directorate of the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]], of which Thorgils Tarjeisson is of course Chairman. The suggestion of impropriety is naturally rejected by the Emirati Government which goes to great lengths to point out that the Financial Services Directorate is headed by Dr Ernst Cryptsinger and that a Jingdao Ethics Wall exists between the Financial Directorate and the Commodities Directorate headed by the Chairman and also within the Financial Directorate to separate the Imperial & Emirati Bank from the Bountiful Harvest Limited which administers the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Alalehzamin & Utasia, currently heavily invested in the Royal Road Project, and the expanding sub-prime derivatives market that is fuelling the household Ziggurat construction boom, through loans to the Emirati Government which in turn makes grants to facilitate the construction and proper maintenance of the required building infrastructure required for a lawful household residence (10 metre high raised mud-brick platform with a five storey residence built on top, surrounded by 15 metre high outer perimeter wall and 3 metre deep dry moat), in addition to the regular mortgage for other residential structures within the household ziggurat complex. <br />
<br />
Arandur Tarjeisson seized upon a comparatively minor issue to demonstrate his political independence from the significant Babkhi minority community which has hitherto defined the character of the Emirate. After touring the second hand book stores of Ribat-e Kapav (southern district of the city of [[Ardashirshahr]]) he chanced upon an antique book known as the [[Foibles of the Unbelievers]] and immediately realised its incendiary potential. After an amicable discussion with the bookseller, a Esau Aalai Kasanrajon, he discovered that the book had a cult following in the [[Babkhi]] and [[Elw]] community for its xenophobic and darkly humoured depictions of [[Boreals]], [[Elfinshi]] and the [[Froyalanish]] as foolish, effeminate and depraved creatures deserving only of a lingering death. <br />
<br />
With this knowledge in hand, the Arandur ventured to Eliria with a petition to the King's Court that the book should be banned for incitement to hatred and harm to race relations in the Elwynnese Union. Rather awkwardly, he was opposed in this petition by [[Deimos Jasonides]], the Secretary for the Board of Directors of the ESB Group. A Royal Rescript in response to the petition was received in early 1635 instructing the civil authorities to prosecute vendors who sell the Foibles of the Unbelievers under Article 2 of Chapter 3 of Elwynns Straflov. Gleefully, upon his return to Ardashirshahr, the Arandur summoned the Stallari and the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels, and made to confront Esau Aalai Kasanrajon for selling him his copy of the Foibles. Aqa Kasanrajon was subsequently dispatched to [[His Serenity's Gaol Dragonsfold|Dragonsfold Gaol]], wherein he was held awaiting the pleasure of the revived [[Court of Star Chamber]].<br />

The exercise known as 'Mulcher', a part of the far larger preparedness test known as [[Operation Long Haul]] coincided with a long holiday enjoyed by the Minister of Military Affairs which put him in a difficult spot for seeking to allay the concerns expressed.

<br />
In 1642, having loyally served Kaiser Hjalmar Redquill for four [[Elwynnese Calendar|Elw years]] (1639-1642), Thorgils unexpectedly received the departing Kaiser's nomination and blessing to ascend to the Mango Throne. As the nomination was uncontested, the process of subjecting the nomination to a vote in the Landsraad was foregone and Thorgils ascended to the Kaisership as [[Kaiser Dominus Tarjeisson]].<br />
<br />
After establishing his government and trimming back the power of the Imperial Household, Thorgils celebrated his good fortune by beginning negotiations for the contracting of a dual marriage alliance with the [[Blackstone|Lordship of Blackstone]] and the [[Sathrati|Emirate of Sathrati]]. The Lord of Blackstone offered up Lena Verion, albeit with a hefty price-tag, and rejected the Kaiser's counter-offer that the marriage would be in lieu of an invasion.<br />

[[File:Thorgilssansmaskiv.png|250px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">Thorgils Tarjeisson, Administrator and public servant</div> ]]<br />
==Early Life==<br />
Born in 1593 in the city of Slevik, [[Normark]]. Emigrated to [[Elwynn]] in 1608 as an undocumented migrant amongst a party of two hundred and fifty displaced persons. Settled in [[Caligae]]. Shared dormitory with [[Aasmund Vigeland]]. Joined the [[Union Defence Force]] in 1613 with a recommendation from General Secretary Vigeland. Transferred to the People's Militia in 1615. Deployed to the Green Valley ([[Araxion]]) in 1616. In the same year he was inured and captured by Church of Wayne fanatics after falling into a concealed bear pit (a large earthen pit with sharpened pikes in the bottom). A prisoner of war, he was transferred into the custody of Brettish forces and held for three years in captivity across the [[Elwynn (River)#The Blue Elwynn|Blue Elwynn]] in unsettled territory. During his imprisonment, his left foot turned gangrenous and had to be amputated. Released after the armistice was signed in 1619 and repatriated in a prisoner swap later that year. To replace his foot he was provided with a government issued prosthesis that was unfortunately moulded to a right foot of a different size. Sent to Echo City for rehabilitation therapy. Assigned to an administrative post in a refugee reception centre in Islus in early summer 1621.<br />
<br />
Sentenced by the [[Court of Star Chamber|Star Chamber]] to six years of contemplation in a monastery on [[Raikoth]] for the rape of Ergonian asylum seeker Kelly Kupliva in 1621. Released early from the Kphoraban Monastery on the Nadir mountain range in 1623 after attaining 'proper perspective regarding his past misdeeds' (or in practice by ingratiating himself sufficiently to the Abbot to earn favour) he was taken by sleigh to the city of [[Thule|Tala]] and there permitted to study amongst the ruins and work for opals, the local unit of currency. Employed by Councillor Ulni to read and interpret correspondence to the new royal government in [[Eliria]]. He was dispatched by Ulni to [[Amokolia]] in 1624 to observe and report back on rumours that the [[Fjǫrleif Hallbjörnsdóttir|Steward's daughter]] was performing in public martial arts competitions. Thorgils was able to confirm that this was, indeed, the case. Scandalised the Council of Nine refrained from further cooperation with Eliria and even declined to report the disappearance of the Duke who had been dispatched to rule over them.<br />
<br />
Instead of returning to Raikoth, Thorgils pressed on into the interior of [[Benacia]], passing across the border and through separatist regions of [[Amokolia]] and down the [[Elwynn#Blue Elwynn|Blue Elwynn]] to [[Shirekeep]].<br />
<br />
After arriving in [[Shirekeep]] in early summer of 1625, he found shelter amongst the dosshouses of the docks district where he was known as ''Thor Tanglefoot'' and ''Limpfoot Gils''. Being no good on his feet and having no interest to go back behind a desk for a while, Thorgils learned a new trade as an abattoir slaughterman down in the bloody shambles of [[the Old City]]. It was discovered that Thorgils had a knack for the butchers trade and could readily turn a cleaver and saw to the hewing of any variety of meat from sinew and bone.<br />
<br />
==Citizen==<br />
<br />
In 1634 he applied for formal recognition as a citizen of the [[Elwynn|Elwynnese Union]]. Owing to his chequered past, the Royal Court in Eliria refused to grand acknowledgement and instead Thorgils took a boat down to [[Teldrin]] in the Grand Duchy of [[Goldshire]] and received citizenship there from the Grand Duchess [[Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion]].<br />
<br />
Not long afterwards, a new pamphlet was distributed in Shirekeep entitled 'the Semblance of a Mild Dilemma'. Written as an expression of regret at not being allowed to return to his adoptive homeland it was also a polemic calling upon the Elwynnese to not let their ancestral cultures not be drowned out but through diligence and hard work to instead preserve that heritage long into the future. The pamphlet was well received and convinced the Court of [[King Noah]] to rescind their original ban and to grant Thorgils permission to enter Elwynn.<br />
<br />
==Businessman==<br />
<br />
In the meantime, Thorgils had been busy. After taking up lodgings in the Bethlem Hotel, formerly Bethlem Asylum, he encountered two other exiles, Daniyal Siskander Dravot, an infamous [[Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels|ex-cudgeller]], and Ernst Cryptsinger a former Instructing Justice of the [[Court of Star Chamber]]. Both had been exiles since the Communist Revolution. They were living a discrete but not uncomfortable existence in [[Teldrin]], the least lunatic of the notable towns of [[Lunaris]], and were willing to invest their remaining capital into the venture that Thorgils now proposed. <br />
<br />
On his journey south Thorgils had noted the unregulated nature of the river trade between Shirekeep and Musica and how no tier of government was asserting itself in either monitoring or taxing that trade, to the extent that smugglers were growing lax and river pirates were plaguing the [[Elwynn (River)#The Red Elwynn|Red Elwynn]]. If a company was put together with a monopoly on trade into Teldrin, they might soon be able to fund a river patrol to ward of pirates begin levying tolls on the river. This proposal the three men took to the Aldermen of Teldrin and found them amenable. The next step was to lobby the new Grand Duchess herself. This they did by promising a tenth of all yearly profits. The result was the issuance of a Ducal Warrant and the formation of the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]].<br />
<br />
==The Resistible Rise of Thorgils Tarjeisson==<br />
[[File:Thorgils in his pomp.png|500px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">The Lunatic Gazette, a periodical of the County of Lunaris, took aim at the ascent of Tarjeisson in Goldshire with this satirical cartoon.</div> ]]<br />
<br />
'''Appointment as Arandur of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]]'''<br><br />
On the 23rd of Elroqpin in the year 1634, [[Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion|Queen Noor]], as Emira of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]], issued a Farman transferring the government of the precinct to Thorgils Tarjeisson. Uncomfortable at accepting an aristocratic title with [[Babkhi]] overtones, Thorgils declined to be recognised as Emir, instead returning that title to Noor. He was however prepared to take on the duties of Governor and asked to be recognised as ''Arandur'' (Steward) of the Emirate. This was achieved through special dispensation in the Royal Decree of the 5th of Vixaslaa, 1634 granted by [[King Noah of Elwynn|King Noah]]. <br />
<br />
His first act after appointment was to reform the Elwnameh, the customary body of law in Alalehzamin and Utasia, based off the laws of Baron [[Ardashir]] and the ordnances of the County of [[Lesser Zjandaria]]. In their place was a single fundamental law of the Emirate of Alalehzamin. The Farman created a Durbar of all the duly elected Mayors of the Bailiwicks of Alalehzamin and Utasia that would meet annually to legislate on matters within the purview of the powers devolved to the Precincts by the King's Court. The new Elwnameh also set out the nature of the social contract between the Emirate and civil society as well as establishing the [[Emirati Riddare]] as a Civil Defence Force. <br />

<div>[[Abdullah al-Zaraqi]] (born in [[Baltyshahr]], 1580) is an Elwynnese obstetrician and gynaecologist. Educated at the [[Allswell]] Madarasa of the [[People's Academy]], he worked at the Madarasa Hospital where he underwent residency and specialization. He became famous in 1635, after it was alleged he was a Jingdaoese Te-gong agent, and was involved in an attempt on the life of Queen Noor. His trial remains ongoing while he is a fugitive from justice, having escaped from his remand cell in Dragonskeep Gaol.<br />
<br />
He was last seen in Walstadt during the incident that led to the death of the Kattei Emperor of Jingdao during the Euran War.<br />

[[File:Thorgilssansmaskiv.png|250px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">Thorgils Tarjeisson, Administrator and public servant</div> ]]<br />
==Early Life==<br />
Born in 1593 in the city of Slevik, [[Normark]]. Emigrated to [[Elwynn]] in 1608 as an undocumented migrant amongst a party of two hundred and fifty displaced persons. Settled in [[Caligae]]. Shared dormitory with [[Aasmund Vigeland]]. Joined the [[Union Defence Force]] in 1613 with a recommendation from General Secretary Vigeland. Transferred to the People's Militia in 1615. Deployed to the Green Valley ([[Araxion]]) in 1616. In the same year he was inured and captured by Church of Wayne fanatics after falling into a concealed bear pit (a large earthen pit with sharpened pikes in the bottom). A prisoner of war, he was transferred into the custody of Brettish forces and held for three years in captivity across the [[Elwynn (River)#The Blue Elwynn|Blue Elwynn]] in unsettled territory. During his imprisonment, his left foot turned gangrenous and had to be amputated. Released after the armistice was signed in 1619 and repatriated in a prisoner swap later that year. To replace his foot he was provided with a government issued prosthesis that was unfortunately moulded to a right foot of a different size. Sent to Echo City for rehabilitation therapy. Assigned to an administrative post in a refugee reception centre in Islus in early summer 1621.<br />
<br />
Sentenced by the [[Court of Star Chamber|Star Chamber]] to six years of contemplation in a monastery on [[Raikoth]] for the rape of Ergonian asylum seeker Kelly Kupliva in 1621. Released early from the Kphoraban Monastery on the Nadir mountain range in 1623 after attaining 'proper perspective regarding his past misdeeds' (or in practice by ingratiating himself sufficiently to the Abbot to earn favour) he was taken by sleigh to the city of [[Thule|Tala]] and there permitted to study amongst the ruins and work for opals, the local unit of currency. Employed by Councillor Ulni to read and interpret correspondence to the new royal government in [[Eliria]]. He was dispatched by Ulni to [[Amokolia]] in 1624 to observe and report back on rumours that the [[Fjǫrleif Hallbjörnsdóttir|Steward's daughter]] was performing in public martial arts competitions. Thorgils was able to confirm that this was, indeed, the case. Scandalised the Council of Nine refrained from further cooperation with Eliria and even declined to report the disappearance of the Duke who had been dispatched to rule over them.<br />
<br />
Instead of returning to Raikoth, Thorgils pressed on into the interior of [[Benacia]], passing across the border and through separatist regions of [[Amokolia]] and down the [[Elwynn#Blue Elwynn|Blue Elwynn]] to [[Shirekeep]].<br />
<br />
After arriving in [[Shirekeep]] in early summer of 1625, he found shelter amongst the dosshouses of the docks district where he was known as ''Thor Tanglefoot'' and ''Limpfoot Gils''. Being no good on his feet and having no interest to go back behind a desk for a while, Thorgils learned a new trade as an abattoir slaughterman down in the bloody shambles of [[the Old City]]. It was discovered that Thorgils had a knack for the butchers trade and could readily turn a cleaver and saw to the hewing of any variety of meat from sinew and bone.<br />
<br />
==Citizen==<br />
<br />
In 1634 he applied for formal recognition as a citizen of the [[Elwynn|Elwynnese Union]]. Owing to his chequered past, the Royal Court in Eliria refused to grand acknowledgement and instead Thorgils took a boat down to [[Teldrin]] in the Grand Duchy of [[Goldshire]] and received citizenship there from the Grand Duchess [[Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion]].<br />
<br />
Not long afterwards, a new pamphlet was distributed in Shirekeep entitled 'the Semblance of a Mild Dilemma'. Written as an expression of regret at not being allowed to return to his adoptive homeland it was also a polemic calling upon the Elwynnese to not let their ancestral cultures not be drowned out but through diligence and hard work to instead preserve that heritage long into the future. The pamphlet was well received and convinced the Court of [[King Noah]] to rescind their original ban and to grand Thorgils permission to enter Elwynn.<br />
<br />
==Businessman==<br />
<br />
In the meantime, Thorgils had been busy. After taking up lodgings in the Bethlem Hotel, formerly Bethlem Asylum, he encountered two other exiles, Daniyal Siskander Dravot, an infamous [[Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels|ex-cudgeller]], and Ernst Cryptsinger a former Instructing Justice of the [[Court of Star Chamber]]. Both had been exiles since the Communist Revolution. They were living a discrete but not uncomfortable existence in [[Teldrin]], the least lunatic of the notable towns of [[Lunaris]], and were willing to invest their remaining capital into the venture that Thorgils now proposed. <br />
<br />
On his journey south Thorgils had noted the unregulated nature of the river trade between Shirekeep and Musica and how no tier of government was asserting itself in either monitoring or taxing that trade, to the extent that smugglers were growing lax and river pirates were plaguing the [[Elwynn (River)#The Red Elwynn|Red Elwynn]]. If a company was put together with a monopoly on trade into Teldrin, they might soon be able to fund a river patrol to ward of pirates begin levying tolls on the river. This proposal the three men took to the Aldermen of Teldrin and found them amenable. The next step was to lobby the new Grand Duchess herself. This they did by promising a tenth of all yearly profits. The result was the issuance of a Ducal Warrant and the formation of the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]].<br />
<br />
==The Resistible Rise of Thorgils Tarjeisson==<br />
[[File:Thorgils in his pomp.png|500px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">The Lunatic Gazette, a periodical of the County of Lunaris, took aim at the ascent of Tarjeisson in Goldshire with this satirical cartoon.</div> ]]<br />
<br />
'''Appointment as Arandur of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]]'''<br><br />
On the 23rd of Elroqpin in the year 1634, [[Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion|Queen Noor]], as Emira of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]], issued a Farman transferring the government of the precinct to Thorgils Tarjeisson. Uncomfortable at accepting an aristocratic title with [[Babkhi]] overtones, Thorgils declined to be recognised as Emir, instead returning that title to Noor. He was however prepared to take on the duties of Governor and asked to be recognised as ''Arandur'' (Steward) of the Emirate. This was achieved through special dispensation in the Royal Decree of the 5th of Vixaslaa, 1634 granted by [[King Noah of Elwynn|King Noah]]. <br />
<br />
His first act after appointment was to reform the Elwnameh, the customary body of law in Alalehzamin and Utasia, based off the laws of Baron [[Ardashir]] and the ordnances of the County of [[Lesser Zjandaria]]. In their place was a single fundamental law of the Emirate of Alalehzamin. The Farman created a Durbar of all the duly elected Mayors of the Bailiwicks of Alalehzamin and Utasia that would meet annually to legislate on matters within the purview of the powers devolved to the Precincts by the King's Court. The new Elwnameh also set out the nature of the social contract between the Emirate and civil society as well as establishing the [[Emirati Riddare]] as a Civil Defence Force. <br />
<br />
In addition the Elwnameh also contained significant new regulations concerning transport, sanitation and household infrastructure. Although criticised as absurd reproductions of the worst elements of [[Babkha|Babkhan]] bureaucratic excess, the regulations contained in the Elwnameh provided an element of standardisation that had hitherto been largely absent. The largest single project initiated as a result of these reforms was the construction of the Royal Road that would link [[Ardashirshahr]] with [[Islus]] and [[Eliria]]. The Royal Road was intended to be built on a gargantuan scale, with a uniform layout consisting of two carriageways comprising of four lanes each proceeding in opposite directions, with a central partition set between the opposite carriageways carrying two parallel railway tracks for a high-speed commuter train service. The entire structure was set upon a raised platform of pounded earth five hundred metres in width and raised eleven metres above ground level on level terrain and of whatever height would be required to follow the gradient incline. The road was then to be flanked with a dyke of eleven metres depth and eleven metres width on either side. <br />
<br />
To finance this project in particular, the Elwnameh reforms included the introduction of a monopoly on the production, distribution and sale of all psychoactive substances, a notoriously broad category extending from opium to coffee. The predictable result of which has been an explosion in black market racketeering and an equally vicious government led crackdown and enforcement effort by the [[Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels|Gentlemen-at-Cudgels]] and the Emirati Riddare. Opinion remains divided on whether the Monopolies are a lucrative source of revenue or a massive and unsustainable drain on the law-enforcement budgets.<br />
<br />
What is known is that the promise of revenues derived from the enforcement of the Monopolies have been pledged as collateral for the operating costs of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin which provides Banking Services to the Emirate, essentially permitting the importation of [[Teldrin Thaler|Teldrin Thalers]] as currency and the issuance of letters of credit by the Emirati Government. The contract for the administration of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin was awarded to the Financial Services Directorate of the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]], of which Thorgils Tarjeisson is of course Chairman. The suggestion of impropriety is naturally rejected by the Emirati Government which goes to great lengths to point out that the Financial Services Directorate is headed by Dr Ernst Cryptsinger and that a Jingdao Ethics Wall exists between the Financial Directorate and the Commodities Directorate headed by the Chairman and also within the Financial Directorate to separate the Imperial & Emirati Bank from the Bountiful Harvest Limited which administers the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Alalehzamin & Utasia, currently heavily invested in the Royal Road Project, and the expanding sub-prime derivatives market that is fuelling the household Ziggurat construction boom, through loans to the Emirati Government which in turn makes grants to facilitate the construction and proper maintenance of the required building infrastructure required for a lawful household residence (10 metre high raised mud-brick platform with a five storey residence built on top, surrounded by 15 metre high outer perimeter wall and 3 metre deep dry moat), in addition to the regular mortgage for other residential structures within the household ziggurat complex. <br />
<br />
Arandur Tarjeisson seized upon a comparatively minor issue to demonstrate his political independence from the significant Babkhi minority community which has hitherto defined the character of the Emirate. After touring the second hand book stores of Ribat-e Kapav (southern district of the city of [[Ardashirshahr]]) he chanced upon an antique book known as the [[Foibles of the Unbelievers]] and immediately realised its incendiary potential. After an amicable discussion with the bookseller, a Esau Aalai Kasanrajon, he discovered that the book had a cult following in the [[Babkhi]] and [[Elw]] community for its xenophobic and darkly humoured depictions of [[Boreals]], [[Elfinshi]] and the [[Froyalanish]] as foolish, effeminate and depraved creatures deserving only of a lingering death. <br />
<br />
With this knowledge in hand, the Arandur ventured to Eliria with a petition to the King's Court that the book should be banned for incitement to hatred and harm to race relations in the Elwynnese Union. Rather awkwardly, he was opposed in this petition by [[Deimos Jasonides]], the Secretary for the Board of Directors of the ESB Group. A Royal Rescript in response to the petition was received in early 1635 instructing the civil authorities to prosecute vendors who sell the Foibles of the Unbelievers under Article 2 of Chapter 3 of Elwynns Straflov. Gleefully, upon his return to Ardashirshahr, the Arandur summoned the Stallari and the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels, and made to confront Esau Aalai Kasanrajon for selling him his copy of the Foibles. Aqa Kasanrajon was subsequently dispatched to [[His Serenity's Gaol Dragonsfold|Dragonsfold Gaol]], wherein he was held awaiting the pleasure of the revived [[Court of Star Chamber]].<br />

'''Controversy with Minarboria'''<br><br />
In spite of being a consistent advocate of good relations with Minarboria and fostering trade relations both through the ESB Group and the placing of a notable defence contract, the conduct of a military exercise on the island of [[Zy-Rodun]] featuring a ''thin expy of Minarboria'' as the antagonist touched a raw nerve with the government of that realm, coinciding as it did with changing media perceptions of the the undead in the media output of the [[Elwynnese Commons]] which resulted in the lodging of a harshly worded [http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=234&t=17579 formal query] by the Government of Minarboria with the Ministry of the Exterior in 1638. The exercise known as 'Mulcher', a part of the far larger preparedness test known as [[Operation Long Haul]] coincided with a long holiday enjoyed by the Minister of Military Affairs which put him in a difficult spot for seeking to allay the concerns expressed. Fortunately however, the explanation he provided, together with a more thorough and detailed response by [[Kaiser Hjalmar]] appeared to go some way towards clearing up misunderstandings and calming a potentially tense situation.<br />

==Objective attained: the Kaisership==<br />
'''Main Article''': [[Kaiser Dominus]]<br />
<br />
In 1642, having loyally served Kaiser Hjalmar Redquill for four [[Elwynnese Calendar|Elw years]] (1639-1642), Thorgils unexpectedly received the departing Kaiser's nomination and blessing to ascend to the Mango Throne. As the nomination was uncontested, the process of subjecting the nomination to a vote in the Landsraad was foregone and Thorgils ascended to the Kaisership as [[Kaiser Dominus Tarjeisson]].<br />
<br />
After establishing his government and trimming back the power of the Imperial Household, Thorgils celebrated his good fortune by beginning negotiations for the contracting of a dual marriage alliance with the [[Blackstone|Lordship of Blackstone]] and the [[Sathrati|Emirate of Sathrati]]. The Lord of Blackstone offered up Lena Verion, albeit with a hefty price-tag, and rejected the Kaiser's counter-offer that the marriage would be in lieu of an invasion.<br />

[[File:Thorgilssansmaskiv.png|250px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">Thorgils Tarjeisson, Administrator and public servant</div> ]]<br />
==Early Life==<br />
Born in 1593 in the city of Slevik, [[Normark]]. Emigrated to [[Elwynn]] in 1608 as an undocumented migrant amongst a party of two hundred and fifty displaced persons. Settled in [[Caligae]]. Shared dormitory with [[Aasmund Vigeland]]. Joined the [[Union Defence Force]] in 1613 with a recommendation from General Secretary Vigeland. Transferred to the People's Militia in 1615. Deployed to the Green Valley ([[Araxion]]) in 1616. In the same year he was inured and captured by Church of Wayne fanatics after falling into a concealed bear pit (a large earthen pit with sharpened pikes in the bottom). A prisoner of war, he was transferred into the custody of Brettish forces and held for three years in captivity across the [[Elwynn (River)#The Blue Elwynn|Blue Elwynn]] in unsettled territory. During his imprisonment, his left foot turned gangrenous and had to be amputated. Released after the armistice was signed in 1619 and repatriated in a prisoner swap later that year. To replace his foot he was provided with a government issued prosthesis that was unfortunately moulded to a right foot of a different size. Sent to Echo City for rehabilitation therapy. Assigned to an administrative post in a refugee reception centre in Islus in early summer 1621.<br />
<br />
Sentenced by the [[Court of Star Chamber|Star Chamber]] to six years of contemplation in a monastery on [[Raikoth]] for the rape of Ergonian asylum seeker Kelly Kupliva in 1621. Released early from the Kphoraban Monastery on the Nadir mountain range in 1623 after attaining 'proper perspective regarding his past misdeeds' (or in practice by ingratiating himself sufficiently to the Abbot to earn favour) he was taken by sleigh to the city of [[Thule|Tala]] and there permitted to study amongst the ruins and work for opals, the local unit of currency. Employed by Councillor Ulni to read and interpret correspondence to the new royal government in [[Eliria]]. He was dispatched by Ulni to [[Amokolia]] in 1624 to observe and report back on rumours that the [[Fjǫrleif Hallbjörnsdóttir|Steward's daughter]] was performing in public martial arts competitions. Thorgils was able to confirm that this was, indeed, the case. Scandalised the Council of Nine refrained from further cooperation with Eliria and even declined to report the disappearance of the Duke who had been dispatched to rule over them.<br />
<br />
Instead of returning to Raikoth, Thorgils pressed on into the interior of [[Benacia]], passing across the border and through separatist regions of [[Amokolia]] and down the [[Elwynn#Blue Elwynn|Blue Elwynn]] to [[Shirekeep]].<br />
<br />
After arriving in [[Shirekeep]] in early summer of 1625, he found shelter amongst the dosshouses of the docks district where he was known as ''Thor Tanglefoot'' and ''Limpfoot Gils''. Being no good on his feet and having no interest to go back behind a desk for a while, Thorgils learned a new trade as an abattoir slaughterman down in the bloody shambles of [[the Old City]]. It was discovered that Thorgils had a knack for the butchers trade and could readily turn a cleaver and saw to the hewing of any variety of meat from sinew and bone.<br />
<br />
==Citizen==<br />
<br />
In 1634 he applied for formal recognition as a citizen of the [[Elwynn|Elwynnese Union]]. Owing to his chequered past, the Royal Court in Eliria refused to grand acknowledgement and instead Thorgils took a boat down to [[Teldrin]] in the Grand Duchy of [[Goldshire]] and received citizenship there from the Grand Duchess [[Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion]].<br />
<br />
Not long afterwards, a new pamphlet was distributed in Shirekeep entitled 'the Semblance of a Mild Dilemma'. Written as an expression of regret at not being allowed to return to his adoptive homeland it was also a polemic calling upon the Elwynnese to not let their ancestral cultures not be drowned out but through diligence and hard work to instead preserve that heritage long into the future. The pamphlet was well received and convinced the Court of [[King Noah]] to rescind their original ban and to grand Thorgils permission to enter Elwynn.<br />
<br />
==Businessman==<br />
<br />
In the meantime, Thorgils had been busy. After taking up lodgings in the Bethlem Hotel, formerly Bethlem Asylum, he encountered two other exiles, Daniyal Siskander Dravot, an infamous [[Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels|ex-cudgeller]], and Ernst Cryptsinger a former Instructing Justice of the [[Court of Star Chamber]]. Both had been exiles since the Communist Revolution. They were living a discrete but not uncomfortable existence in [[Teldrin]], the least lunatic of the notable towns of [[Lunaris]], and were willing to invest their remaining capital into the venture that Thorgils now proposed. <br />
<br />
On his journey south Thorgils had noted the unregulated nature of the river trade between Shirekeep and Musica and how no tier of government was asserting itself in either monitoring or taxing that trade, to the extent that smugglers were growing lax and river pirates were plaguing the [[Elwynn (River)#The Red Elwynn|Red Elwynn]]. If a company was put together with a monopoly on trade into Teldrin, they might soon be able to fund a river patrol to ward of pirates begin levying tolls on the river. This proposal the three men took to the Aldermen of Teldrin and found them amenable. The next step was to lobby the new Grand Duchess herself. This they did by promising a tenth of all yearly profits. The result was the issuance of a Ducal Warrant and the formation of the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]].<br />
<br />
==The Resistible Rise of Thorgils Tarjeisson==<br />
[[File:Thorgils in his pomp.png|500px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">The Lunatic Gazette, a periodical of the County of Lunaris, took aim at the ascent of Tarjeisson in Goldshire with this satirical cartoon.</div> ]]<br />
<br />
'''Appointment as Arandur of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]]'''<br><br />
On the 23rd of Elroqpin in the year 1634, [[Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion|Queen Noor]], as Emira of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]], issued a Farman transferring the government of the precinct to Thorgils Tarjeisson. Uncomfortable at accepting an aristocratic title with [[Babkhi]] overtones, Thorgils declined to be recognised as Emir, instead returning that title to Noor. He was however prepared to take on the duties of Governor and asked to be recognised as ''Arandur'' (Steward) of the Emirate. This was achieved through special dispensation in the Royal Decree of the 5th of Vixaslaa, 1634 granted by [[King Noah of Elwynn|King Noah]]. <br />
<br />
His first act after appointment was to reform the Elwnameh, the customary body of law in Alalehzamin and Utasia, based off the laws of Baron [[Ardashir]] and the ordnances of the County of [[Lesser Zjandaria]]. In their place was a single fundamental law of the Emirate of Alalehzamin. The Farman created a Durbar of all the duly elected Mayors of the Bailiwicks of Alalehzamin and Utasia that would meet annually to legislate on matters within the purview of the powers devolved to the Precincts by the King's Court. The new Elwnameh also set out the nature of the social contract between the Emirate and civil society as well as establishing the [[Emirati Riddare]] as a Civil Defence Force. <br />
<br />
In addition the Elwnameh also contained significant new regulations concerning transport, sanitation and household infrastructure. Although criticised as absurd reproductions of the worst elements of [[Babkha|Babkhan]] bureaucratic excess, the regulations contained in the Elwnameh provided an element of standardisation that had hitherto been largely absent. The largest single project initiated as a result of these reforms was the construction of the Royal Road that would link [[Ardashirshahr]] with [[Islus]] and [[Eliria]]. The Royal Road was intended to be built on a gargantuan scale, with a uniform layout consisting of two carriageways comprising of four lanes each proceeding in opposite directions, with a central partition set between the opposite carriageways carrying two parallel railway tracks for a high-speed commuter train service. The entire structure was set upon a raised platform of pounded earth five hundred metres in width and raised eleven metres above ground level on level terrain and of whatever height would be required to follow the gradient incline. The road was then to be flanked with a dyke of eleven metres depth and eleven metres width on either side. <br />
<br />
To finance this project in particular, the Elwnameh reforms included the introduction of a monopoly on the production, distribution and sale of all psychoactive substances, a notoriously broad category extending from opium to coffee. The predictable result of which has been an explosion in black market racketeering and an equally vicious government led crackdown and enforcement effort by the [[Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels|Gentlemen-at-Cudgels]] and the Emirati Riddare. Opinion remains divided on whether the Monopolies are a lucrative source of revenue or a massive and unsustainable drain on the law-enforcement budgets.<br />
<br />
What is known is that the promise of revenues derived from the enforcement of the Monopolies have been pledged as collateral for the operating costs of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin which provides Banking Services to the Emirate, essentially permitting the importation of [[Teldrin Thaler|Teldrin Thalers]] as currency and the issuance of letters of credit by the Emirati Government. The contract for the administration of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin was awarded to the Financial Services Directorate of the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]], of which Thorgils Tarjeisson is of course Chairman. The suggestion of impropriety is naturally rejected by the Emirati Government which goes to great lengths to point out that the Financial Services Directorate is headed by Dr Ernst Cryptsinger and that a Jingdao Ethics Wall exists between the Financial Directorate and the Commodities Directorate headed by the Chairman and also within the Financial Directorate to separate the Imperial & Emirati Bank from the Bountiful Harvest Limited which administers the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Alalehzamin & Utasia, currently heavily invested in the Royal Road Project, and the expanding sub-prime derivatives market that is fuelling the household Ziggurat construction boom, through loans to the Emirati Government which in turn makes grants to facilitate the construction and proper maintenance of the required building infrastructure required for a lawful household residence (10 metre high raised mud-brick platform with a five storey residence built on top, surrounded by 15 metre high outer perimeter wall and 3 metre deep dry moat), in addition to the regular mortgage for other residential structures within the household ziggurat complex. <br />
<br />
Arandur Tarjeisson seized upon a comparatively minor issue to demonstrate his political independence from the significant Babkhi minority community which has hitherto defined the character of the Emirate. After touring the second hand book stores of Ribat-e Kapav (southern district of the city of [[Ardashirshahr]]) he chanced upon an antique book known as the [[Foibles of the Unbelievers]] and immediately realised its incendiary potential. After an amicable discussion with the bookseller, a Esau Aalai Kasanrajon, he discovered that the book had a cult following in the [[Babkhi]] and [[Elw]] community for its xenophobic and darkly humoured depictions of [[Boreals]], [[Elfinshi]] and the [[Froyalanish]] as foolish, effeminate and depraved creatures deserving only of a lingering death. <br />
<br />
With this knowledge in hand, the Arandur ventured to Eliria with a petition to the King's Court that the book should be banned for incitement to hatred and harm to race relations in the Elwynnese Union. Rather awkwardly, he was opposed in this petition by [[Deimos Jasonides]], the Secretary for the Board of Directors of the ESB Group. A Royal Rescript in response to the petition was received in early 1635 instructing the civil authorities to prosecute vendors who sell the Foibles of the Unbelievers under Article 2 of Chapter 3 of Elwynns Straflov. Gleefully, upon his return to Ardashirshahr, the Arandur summoned the Stallari and the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels, and made to confront Esau Aalai Kasanrajon for selling him his copy of the Foibles. Aqa Kasanrajon was subsequently dispatched to [[His Serenity's Gaol Dragonsfold|Dragonsfold Gaol]], wherein he was held awaiting the pleasure of the revived [[Court of Star Chamber]].<br />
<br />
'''Conduct of Elections to the Royal Parliament'''<br><br />
Complex three tier election for political parties and affiliated guilds. 141 delegates elected to 140 man delegation. Resolved after unfortunate accident befell the head of the EWP caucus. <br />
<br />
'''Reform of the [[People's Academy of Elwynn]]'''<br><br />
Sponsored restoration of the manuscript of the [[History of Elwynn]]. Proposed the appointment of new Board of Governance. Commissioned [[the Modern History of Elwynn]].<br />
<br />
'''Reorganisation of the Military of Shireroth'''<br><br />
1635 - appointed Chief Secretary of Military Affairs. <br><br />

'''Contract for the Royal Government of Goldshire'''<br><br />
<br />
'''Appointment as Royal Instructing Justice for Elwynn'''<br><br />
Campaigned for the revival of the Court of Star Chamber<br />
<br />
'''Controversy with Minarboria'''<br><br />
In spite of being a consistent advocate of good relations with Minarboria and fostering trade relations both through the ESB Group and the placing of a notable defence contract, the conduct of a military exercise on the island of [[Zy-Rodun]] featuring a ''thin expy of Minarboria'' as the antagonist touched a raw nerve with the government of that realm, coinciding as it did with changing media perceptions of the the undead in the media output of the [[Elwynnese Commons]] which resulted in the lodging of a harshly worded [http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=234&t=17579 formal query] by the Government of Minarboria with the Ministry of the Exterior in 1638. The exercise known as 'Mulcher', a part of the far larger preparedness test known as [[Operation Long Haul]] coincided with a long holiday enjoyed by the Minister of Military Affairs which put him in a difficult spot for seeking to allay the concerns expressed. Fortunately however, the explanation he provided, together with a more thorough and detailed response by [[Kaiser Hjalmar]] appeared to go some way towards clearing up misunderstandings and calming a potentially tense situation.<br />
<br />
'''The Vale of Angularis'''<br><br />
Transferred from [[Amokolia]] to [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]] by an Act of the [[Royal Parliament]] in 1638<br><br />
Subject to a [[The Journey to the West|tour of inspection]] by the Arandur of Alalehzamin and Utasia in 1639.<br />

==Objective attained: the Kaisership==<br />
'''Main Article''': [[Kaiser Dominus]]<br />
<br />
In 1642, having loyally served Kaiser Hjalmar Redquill for four [[Elwynnese Calendar|Elw years]] (1639-1642), Thorgils unexpectedly received the departing Kaiser's nomination and blessing to ascend to the Mango Throne. As the nomination was uncontested, the process of subjecting the nomination to a vote in the Landsraad was foregone and Thorgils ascended to the Kaisership as [[Kaiser Dominus Tarjeisson]].<br />
<br />
After establishing his government and trimming back the power of the Imperial Household, Thorgils celebrated his good fortune by contracting a dual marriage alliance with the [[Blackstone|Lordship of Blackstone]] and the [[Sathrati|Emirate of Sathrati]].<br />

The Farman created a Durbar of all the duly elected Mayors of the Bailiwicks of Alalehzamin and Utasia that would meet annually to legislate on matters within the purview of the powers devolved to the Precincts by the King's Court. The new Elwnameh also set out the nature of the social contract between the Emirate and civil society as well as establishing the [[Emirati Riddare]] as a Civil Defence Force. <br />
<br />
In addition the Elwnameh also contained significant new regulations concerning transport, sanitation and household infrastructure. Although criticised as absurd reproductions of the worst elements of [[Babkha|Babkhan]] bureaucratic excess, the regulations contained in the Elwnameh provided an element of standardisation that had hitherto been largely absent. The largest single project initiated as a result of these reforms was the construction of the Royal Road that would link [[Ardashirshahr]] with [[Islus]] and [[Eliria]]. The Royal Road was intended to be built on a gargantuan scale, with a uniform layout consisting of two carriageways comprising of four lanes each proceeding in opposite directions, with a central partition set between the opposite carriageways carrying two parallel railway tracks for a high-speed commuter train service. The entire structure was set upon a raised platform of pounded earth five hundred metres in width and raised eleven metres above ground level on level terrain and of whatever height would be required to follow the gradient incline. The road was then to be flanked with a dyke of eleven metres depth and eleven metres width on either side. <br />
<br />
To finance this project in particular, the Elwnameh reforms included the introduction of a monopoly on the production, distribution and sale of all psychoactive substances, a notoriously broad category extending from opium to coffee. The predictable result of which has been an explosion in black market racketeering and an equally vicious government led crackdown and enforcement effort by the [[Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels|Gentlemen-at-Cudgels]] and the Emirati Riddare. Opinion remains divided on whether the Monopolies are a lucrative source of revenue or a massive and unsustainable drain on the law-enforcement budgets.<br />
<br />
What is known is that the promise of revenues derived from the enforcement of the Monopolies have been pledged as collateral for the operating costs of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin which provides Banking Services to the Emirate, essentially permitting the importation of [[Teldrin Thaler|Teldrin Thalers]] as currency and the issuance of letters of credit by the Emirati Government. The contract for the administration of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin was awarded to the Financial Services Directorate of the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]], of which Thorgils Tarjeisson is of course Chairman. The suggestion of impropriety is naturally rejected by the Emirati Government which goes to great lengths to point out that the Financial Services Directorate is headed by Dr Ernst Cryptsinger and that a Jingdao Ethics Wall exists between the Financial Directorate and the Commodities Directorate headed by the Chairman and also within the Financial Directorate to separate the Imperial & Emirati Bank from the Bountiful Harvest Limited which administers the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Alalehzamin & Utasia, currently heavily invested in the Royal Road Project, and the expanding sub-prime derivatives market that is fuelling the household Ziggurat construction boom, through loans to the Emirati Government which in turn makes grants to facilitate the construction and proper maintenance of the required building infrastructure required for a lawful household residence (10 metre high raised mud-brick platform with a five storey residence built on top, surrounded by 15 metre high outer perimeter wall and 3 metre deep dry moat), in addition to the regular mortgage for other residential structures within the household ziggurat complex. <br />
<br />
Arandur Tarjeisson seized upon a comparatively minor issue to demonstrate his political independence from the significant Babkhi minority community which has hitherto defined the character of the Emirate. After touring the second hand book stores of Ribat-e Kapav (southern district of the city of [[Ardashirshahr]]) he chanced upon an antique book known as the [[Foibles of the Unbelievers]] and immediately realised its incendiary potential. After an amicable discussion with the bookseller, a Esau Aalai Kasanrajon, he discovered that the book had a cult following in the [[Babkhi]] and [[Elw]] community for its xenophobic and darkly humoured depictions of [[Boreals]], [[Elfinshi]] and the [[Froyalanish]] as foolish, effeminate and depraved creatures deserving only of a lingering death. <br />
<br />
With this knowledge in hand, the Arandur ventured to Eliria with a petition to the King's Court that the book should be banned for incitement to hatred and harm to race relations in the Elwynnese Union. Rather awkwardly, he was opposed in this petition by [[Deimos Jasonides]], the Secretary for the Board of Directors of the ESB Group. A Royal Rescript in response to the petition was received in early 1635 instructing the civil authorities to prosecute vendors who sell the Foibles of the Unbelievers under Article 2 of Chapter 3 of Elwynns Straflov. Gleefully, upon his return to Ardashirshahr, the Arandur summoned the Stallari and the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels, and made to confront Esau Aalai Kasanrajon for selling him his copy of the Foibles. Aqa Kasanrajon was subsequently dispatched to [[His Serenity's Gaol Dragonsfold|Dragonsfold Gaol]], wherein he was held awaiting the pleasure of the revived [[Court of Star Chamber]].<br />

'''Controversy with Minarboria'''<br><br />
In spite of being a consistent advocate of good relations with Minarboria and fostering trade relations both through the ESB Group and the placing of a notable defence contract, the conduct of a military exercise on the island of [[Zy-Rodun]] featuring a ''thin expy of Minarboria'' as the antagonist touched a raw nerve with the government of that realm, coinciding as it did with changing media perceptions of the the undead in the media output of the [[Elwynnese Commons]] which resulted in the lodging of a harshly worded [http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=234&t=17579 formal query] by the Government of Minarboria with the Ministry of the Exterior in 1638. The exercise known as 'Mulcher', a part of the far larger preparedness test known as [[Operation Long Haul]] coincided with a long holiday enjoyed by the Minister of Military Affairs which put him in a difficult spot for seeking to allay the concerns expressed. Fortunately however, the explanation he provided, together with a more thorough and detailed response by [[Kaiser Hjalmar]] appeared to go some way towards clearing up misunderstandings and calming a potentially tense situation.<br />

<br />
'''The Kaiser''' is the monarch of the [[Imperial Republic]] of [[Shireroth]]. Historically this position has been more autocratic, but with successive constitutional reforms zie has become more akin to a constitutional monarch, in fact not dissimilar to the role of the President of the United States of America. Zir roles are primarily externally-facing - the Imperial government, which zie leads, having responsibility for foreign affairs and military matters - and therefore zie often assumes the role of representative of Shireroth abroad, as well as being a symbol of imperial unity, culture and history.<br />
<br />
== The Constitutional Position of the Kaiser ==<br />
Historically, the powers granted the Kaiser were limitless. Zie was the fons honorum, granting all titles and holding all lands, granting them feudally in fief. It was only later after some Kaisers wielded their powers too rashly, and some contributors to Shireroth's lands became fearful of the cultural heritage of their territories being protected, that the current constitutional settlement was reached.<br />
[[Image:Kaiserseal6303.png|thumb|left|The Imperial seal, as of ASC 6303, used for decrees.]]<br />
The Kaiser is granted powers by [[the Imperial Charter]] and the [[Cedrism|the Gods]]; both also restrict zir actions. The Kaiser traditionally administers, legislates and appoints people to certain offices via [[Imperial Decree]].<br />
<br />
==The Religious (Cedrist) Position of the Kaiser==<br />
Originally, the Kaisers of Shireroth simply served as nothing more than warrior kings and politically leaders of the Realm. Their presence in folklore, myths and in religion only grew over time. The tale of [[Rrakanychan]] who was defeated by one of the early Kaisers (some sources mention Raynor I, but others depict one of his successors as the hero) is a primary example of the central role of the Kaisership in [[Cedrism]]. With the need to strengthen central authority, Kaisers often used religious customs and myths to unite the several ethnic groups under one banner. <br />
<br />
While not holding any official religious position, the Kaiser is depicted as highest representative of the Gods (above the High Priests) an,d it's not uncommon for a Kaiser to transcend into godhood. Kaiser [[Mog I]] became infamous for granting land to another nation and became [[God of Political Blunders]] while [[Raynor II]] made an attempt to - literally - catapult himself into godhood by constructing a huge catapult. Kaiser [[Gaelen IV]] made an attempt to expand the position of the Kaiser by establishing the [[Imperial Cult]], which received little popularity among the population.<br />
<br />
== Succession ==<br />
Being an important position, to some extent in terms of legal power but mostly in terms of prestige, respect and authority to lead the Imperial Republic, succeeding to the Golden Mango Throne is very competitive.<br />
<br />
In the old days, Imperial Decrees laid down a Line of Succession of specific individuals - friends, allies, people in whose hands he could trust Shireroth. Later this evolved to be just one individual - their chosen successor - and for many years this was a position reserved for the [[Steward]]. In contemporary Shireroth, Stewards tend to be appointed on an ad-hoc basis, and successors are usually named some time before the death or abdication of the reigning Kaiser. However, this is not always the case. For example, when [[Kaiseress Mira Raynora Minor|Mira Raynora Minor]] abdicated without an heir, the resulting [[Cabbage Crisis]] saw Octavius raised to the Kaisership by [[Landsraad]] election as [[Kaiser Aiomide]].<br />
<br />
== Tradition ==<br />
Kaisers generally reign for three months at most. This brings constant change to the government, and is justified in [[Layers of simulation|fantasy]] terms by the fact that three real-world months corresponds to over 90 [[ASC]] years on Micras.<br />
<br />
Upon taking the throne, new Kaisers choose royal names. These names can be of either [[Shirerothian]] mythological figures (usually from [[Cedrism]]) or of some other interest of the Kaiser. For instance, the name of [[Kaiser Yarad I]] means "metal", whereas some others, such as [[Kaiseress Jadie I]] and [[Kaiseress Carol I]], choose not to use a different regnal name.<br />
<br />
It is an important custom that all Kaisers are descended from the first Kaiser, the unifier of Shireroth, [[Raynor I]]. Therefore each Kaiser associates zirself with one of the [[Imperial Bloodline|Imperial Bloodlines]].<br />
<br />
=== Epithets ===<br />
A short-lived tradition started by [[Kaiser Mors IV|Mors IV]] saw Kaisers attaching an additional ''epithet'' to their name after their reign, based on what they believed was the most significant contribution in their reign. The epithets and their significances are as follows:<br />
<br />
; [[Kaiser Mors IV]] "Nerrolar" : "Arbiter" in Benacian language, for his work in keeping the Lorelei Conflict from boiling over.<br />
; [[Kaiser Ari i]] "Kaukainen" : "Distant" in Finnish, for not really doing anything significant and being absent a lot of the time.<br />
; [[Kaiser Alejian I]] "The Guardian" : For guiding the nation through difficult times with the threat of the [[Grand Commonwealth]] and [[SPEAR]].<br />
; [[Kaiser Los III]] "Radarai" : "The Scribe" in Hyperborean, for the creation of [[ShireWiki]].<br />
; [[Kaiser Mahamantot I]] "the Lawbreaker": Known as a lawbreaker for taking the Throne from [[Letifer III]]. Recognised by [[Mors V]] as official Kaiser and thanked for his attempts to revive Shireroth (even if it meant breaking existing laws).<br />
; [[Kaiser Leto III]] "the Bold" : for his doubtful reign.<br />
<br />
A later move saw other Shirerithians give past Kaisers epithets based on any significant events or characteristics of their reign. These are not official. It [http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=62306#p62306 has been suggested] that Kaisers should formally open the Landsraad, and during that first opening the previous Kaiser should be given an epithet, but this has never happened.<br />
<br />
====Less Recent Kaisers====<br />
<br />
; [[Kaiser Yarad I]] "the Atomist" : Ushering in New Feudalism, this Kaiser reduced the state to its smallest components.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Semisa I]] "the Resurrector" : As well as being named after the Cedrist Goddess of resurrection, her reign saw an explosion in Landsraad activity. Also she wanted to be remembered as such.<br />
; [[Kaiser Letifer II]] "the Indisposed" : For he was.<br />
; [[Kaiser Alejian II]] "the Protector" : Brother-epithet to the previous Alejian, this Kaiser was a preserver rather than a reformer.<br />
; [[Kaiser Meskan II]] "the Soloralist" : This great reforming Kaiser was taken of a strange Eastern-Apollonian religion.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Carol I]] "the Maternal" : For she was mom, and led Shireroth during one of its longest and darkest periods of inactivity.<br />
; [[Kaiser Letifer III]] "the Unprepared" : Named for the inactivity of his later reign.<br />
; [[Kaiser Mahamantot I]] "the Semi-Unofficially Official" : One of the greatest Anti-Kaisers of our history, and the only one included on the [[List of Kaisers]].<br />
<br />
====Recent Kaisers====<br />
<br />
; [[Kaiser Fish XII]] "the Bastionator" : The Kaiser who saw Shireroth move its forums from its own hosting to the [[Bastion Union]] forums.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Rei I]] "the Blue" : Our first Kaiser of Safirian ethnicity.<br />
; [[Kaiser Cedris I]] "the Almost-Ousted" : ... for that he was (almost).<br />
; [[Kaiser Aurangzeb]] "the Remarkably Surprised to Have Survived Long Enough to Abdicate" : The nation was surprised as much as he was.<br />
; [[Kaiser Wythe I]] "the Educator" : He reestablished the University.<br />
; [[Kaiser Yardistanislaus I]] "the Ambassador" : He took an interest in foreign affairs.<br />
; [[Kaiser Ometeotl II]] "the Apathetic" : This Kaiser didn't care much.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Mira Raynora Major]] "the Constitutionalist" : Under the first Mira Raynora Major, the latest Charter was passed, ushering in a new epoch of Shirerithian history.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Mira Raynora Minor]] "The Younger" : She succeeded Mira Raynora Major as Kaiseress.<br />
<br />
====Even More Recent Kaisers====<br />
<br />
; [[Kaiser Aiomide]] "The Historian" : The Kaiser spent much time developing a history of the Keep.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Semisa II]] "The Blue Fool" : A Kaiseress of Safirian origin, widly criticised.<br />
; [[Kaiser Trantor IV]] "The Hated" : Probably the most unpopular Kaiser in recent Shirerithian history.<br />
; [[Kaiser Mo'll I]] "The Old" : The Kaiser was a kind and wise old man who ruled Shireroth from his small cottage in Lunaris.<br />
; [[Kaiser Mors IV]] "The Returned" : After having ruled before, in the 2nd century, Kaiser Mors IV returned from the grave to once again take the Imperial throne.<br />
; [[Kaiser Sehml]] "The one without an epithet because nobody could think of one for him" : The epithet of this Kaiser, liked by many, speaks for itself.<br />
; [[Kaiser Redquill]] "The Meek" : Redquill's reign was one of avoiding conflict, asking opinions, and basically trying to give everyone what they wanted.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Isa IV]] "The Shortlived" : The Kaiseress died several years after ascending from a heart attack.<br />
; [[Kaiser Ayreon III]] "The Mangocounter" : The Kaiser spent much of his reign working on budgets and economic proposals.<br />
; [[Kaiser Verion I]] "The Financier" : Awarded for Verion's perceived contributions to the Shirithian economy, the epithet proved to be ironic when it was discovered that Verion had transfered large sums of money to [[S.W.O.R.D.]] using secret financial constructions.<br />
; [[Kaiser Daniel III]] "The Not Nearly as Controversial as Last Time So Good On Him" : Not much to remember. He was very clean I guess. *cough*<br />
; [[Kaiseress Kizzy]] "The Benevolent" : Always wanted to do the right thing, even if she didn't always succeed.<br />
; [[Kaiser Hjalmar]] "The Steady": For being a steady pair of hands at the helm of the Shirithian ship of state who skillfully navigated it past the many rocks and shoals of (international) politics.<br />
<br />
==Titles and Style==<br />
Any Kaiser is entitled to the following titles: Kaiser of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth, Thane of the Shirelands, Keeper of the Apollo Legacy, Wielder of the [[The Sword of Vengeance|Sword of Vengeance]], Grand Master of the Orders of the Dragon, Griffin, Phoenix, and Chimera, Sovereign of the Golden Mango Throne.<br />
<br />
Any holder of the Golden Mango Throne is also entitled to the style of Imperial Niftiness.<br />

It [http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=62306#p62306 has been suggested] that Kaisers should formally open the Landsraad, and during that first opening the previous Kaiser should be given an epithet, but this has never happened.<br />
<br />
====Less Recent Kaisers====<br />
<br />
; [[Kaiser Yarad I]] "the Atomist" : Ushering in New Feudalism, this Kaiser reduced the state to its smallest components.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Semisa I]] "the Resurrector" : As well as being named after the Cedrist Goddess of resurrection, her reign saw an explosion in Landsraad activity. Also she wanted to be remembered as such.<br />
; [[Kaiser Letifer II]] "the Indisposed" : For he was.<br />
; [[Kaiser Alejian II]] "the Protector" : Brother-epithet to the previous Alejian, this Kaiser was a preserver rather than a reformer.<br />
; [[Kaiser Meskan II]] "the Soloralist" : This great reforming Kaiser was taken of a strange Eastern-Apollonian religion.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Carol I]] "the Maternal" : For she was mom, and led Shireroth during one of its longest and darkest periods of inactivity.<br />
; [[Kaiser Letifer III]] "the Unprepared" : Named for the inactivity of his later reign.<br />
; [[Kaiser Mahamantot I]] "the Semi-Unofficially Official" : One of the greatest Anti-Kaisers of our history, and the only one included on the [[List of Kaisers]].<br />
<br />
====Recent Kaisers====<br />
<br />
; [[Kaiser Fish XII]] "the Bastionator" : The Kaiser who saw Shireroth move its forums from its own hosting to the [[Bastion Union]] forums.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Rei I]] "the Blue" : Our first Kaiser of Safirian ethnicity.<br />
; [[Kaiser Cedris I]] "the Almost-Ousted" : ... for that he was (almost).<br />
; [[Kaiser Aurangzeb]] "the Remarkably Surprised to Have Survived Long Enough to Abdicate" : The nation was surprised as much as he was.<br />
; [[Kaiser Wythe I]] "the Educator" : He reestablished the University.<br />
; [[Kaiser Yardistanislaus I]] "the Ambassador" : He took an interest in foreign affairs.<br />
; [[Kaiser Ometeotl II]] "the Apathetic" : This Kaiser didn't care much.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Mira Raynora Major]] "the Constitutionalist" : Under the first Mira Raynora Major, the latest Charter was passed, ushering in a new epoch of Shirerithian history.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Mira Raynora Minor]] "The Younger" : She succeeded Mira Raynora Major as Kaiseress.<br />
<br />
====Even More Recent Kaisers====<br />
<br />
; [[Kaiser Aiomide]] "The Historian" : The Kaiser spent much time developing a history of the Keep.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Semisa II]] "The Blue Fool" : A Kaiseress of Safirian origin, widly criticised.<br />
; [[Kaiser Trantor IV]] "The Hated" : Probably the most unpopular Kaiser in recent Shirerithian history.<br />
; [[Kaiser Mo'll I]] "The Old" : The Kaiser was a kind and wise old man who ruled Shireroth from his small cottage in Lunaris.<br />
; [[Kaiser Mors IV]] "The Returned" : After having ruled before, in the 2nd century, Kaiser Mors IV returned from the grave to once again take the Imperial throne.<br />
; [[Kaiser Sehml]] "The one without an epithet because nobody could think of one for him" : The epithet of this Kaiser, liked by many, speaks for itself.<br />
; [[Kaiser Redquill]] "The Meek" : Redquill's reign was one of avoiding conflict, asking opinions, and basically trying to give everyone what they wanted.<br />
; [[Kaiseress Isa IV]] "The Shortlived" : The Kaiseress died several years after ascending from a heart attack.<br />
; [[Kaiser Ayreon III]] "The Mangocounter" : The Kaiser spent much of his reign working on budgets and economic proposals.<br />
; [[Kaiser Verion I]] "The Financier" : Awarded for Verion's perceived contributions to the Shirithian economy, the epithet proved to be ironic when it was discovered that Verion had transfered large sums of money to [[S.W.O.R.D.]] using secret financial constructions.<br />
; [[Kaiser Daniel III]] "The Not Nearly as Controversial as Last Time So Good On Him" : Not much to remember. He was very clean I guess. *cough*<br />
; [[Kaiseress Kizzy]] "The Benevolent" : Always wanted to do the right thing, even if she didn't always succeed.<br />
; [[Kaiser Hjalmar]] "The Steady": For being a steady pair of hands at the helm of the Shirithian ship of state who skillfully navigated it past the many rocks and shoals of (international) politics.<br />
<br />

[[File:Kaiserhjalmarredquill.jpeg|340px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">Kaiser Hjalmar Redquill in traditional Elwynnese winter dress.</div> ]]<br />
'''Kaiser Hjalmar Redquill''' is the regnal name of '''[[Audun Joel Ayreon-Kalirion]]''' (born 1616), the current and 153rd [[The Kaiser|Kaiser]] of the [[Imperial Republic]] of [[Shireroth]] (since 1639).<br />
<br />
==Ancestry==<br />
Hjalmar Redquill is the first Kaiser in Shireroth's history who belongs to two [[Imperial Bloodline|Imperial Bloodlines]]: The line of [[Line of Ayreon-Kalirion|Ayreon-Kalirion]] and [[Imperial Bloodline#The Sanglorian Lines|Sanglorian]] [[Line of Ettlingar Freyu|Ettlingar Freyu]], at the same time, combining the [[Raynor I|Raynorian]] bloodline of [[Esther Ayreon-Kalirion|his mother]] with the bloodline of [[Kaiser Hjalmar|his father]] (and predecessor on the throne). There are those who would argue that this constitutes the foundation of a new bloodline and should warrant its own shield and heraldic device representing that unity. There are also those who maintain that descent from Raynor should take precedence and thus Hjalmar Redquill represents a continuation of the long and distinguished line of Ayreon-Kalirion.<br />
<br />
Several members of Kaiser Hjalmar Redquill's family have also served as kaisers. His brother, Jonathan, was kaiser under the name [[Kaiser Ayreon III]]. His father, [[Hallbjörn Haraldsson]], served as [[Kaiser Hjalmar]]. Hjalmar Redquill's mother's brother, Elijah, served as [[Kaiser Ayreon II]].<br />
<br />
==Reign==<br />
His reign became notable for its robust opposition to Jingdaoese militarism and for his reform-minded administration which relied heavily on the [[Imperial Advisory Council]] to pursue the agreement of the [[Elwynn River Accords]] with the [[Imperial States]] as well as the reconstruction and 'beautification' of [[Shirekeep]], the capital of the Imperial Republic, which had fallen into a state of disrepair in the interlude between the traumatic sieges endured as part of the [[Cabbage Crisis]] and the [[The River War|River War]].<br />
<br />
Whilst continuing with the key appointments made during the reign of his predecessor and grandfather [[Kaiser Hjalmar]] the Elwynnese Conqueror of Shirekeep, Hjalmar Redquill was able to expand the appeal of his Imperial Government beyond the circle of the Kalirion-Elwynnese faction.<br />
<br />
As noted, the regime was tested by the confrontation with [[Jingdao]], an issue which had festered since its occupation and usurpation of [[Kildare]], and the complications which arose from that, including a storm of indignation which broke in Alexandria after the Imperial Republic conducted [[Operation Tymarian Sun|two top secret nuclear tests]] on the island of [[Ura'Bos]] in 1641. <br />
<br />
Another controversy which bedevilled the Imperial Government during his reign was the vexing issue of the self-exiled entrepreneur and agitator [[Ludovic Alixion-Verion]], Lord of [[Blackstone]] and proprietor of the [[Iron Company]], a large multinational financial institution with control of its own island, the aforementioned Blackstone, on the far-western coast of the Kingdom of Amokolia. The longstanding rivalry between the [[House of Verion]] and the House of [[Line of Ayreon-Kalirion|Ayreon-Kalirion and Ettlingar Freyu]] had its origins in the development of the absolutist monarchy in the [[Elwynnese Union]] and grew from a dispute over possession of the title over the County of [[Illumination and Cimmeria]] into one increasingly characterised by personal antipathy and mutual loathing. One of the criticisms levelled by some of Imperial Decree 814, which provided for a new immigration policy, was that it appeared to give too much leeway in its wording towards excluding new citizens upon a subjective evaluation of an applicant which might shade too easily into prejudice. However defenders of the reformed policy explain, with some justice, that the intent was to prevent the future subversion of the Imperial Republic, or one of its Imperial States, by hostile or parasitic forces such as those of Jingdao which resulted in the loss of the ''Dutchy'' of Kildare.<br />
<br />
The Kaiser also gave his support to attempts by the Imperial Advisory Council and the Landsraad to reform morality and to improve standards in public life. One of the hopes and ambitions expressed at the outset of his reign was that it would see the revival of a national Shirerithian identity that integrates all the individual States into a “melting pot” Shirerithian culture.<br />
<br />
==Imperial Advisory Council of Kaiser Hjalmar Redquill==<br />
Kaiser Hjalmar Redquill took immediately on an active role. Among his first acts was to appoint a new Imperial Advisory Council:<br />
*[[Yumi Zotrasdóttir]] of the House of Kviteseid, [[Steward]], Marchioness of Shirekeep, and [[Scribe of Raynor's Keep]].<br />
*[[King Noah]], [[Ministry of the Interior| Minister of the Interior]], and head of state of the [[Elwynn|Elwynnese Union]];<br />
*[[Fjǫrleif Hallbjörnsdóttir]] of the Houses of Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja, [[Ministry of the Exterior|Minister of the Exterior]];<br />
*[[Thorgils Tarjeisson]], [[Ministry of Military Affairs|Minister of Military Affairs]], Chief Defense Advisor to the [[The Kaiser|Kaiser]], and representative of the [[Subdivision#Imperial Dominions|Imperial Dominions]];<br />
*[[Ryker|Ryker Everstone]];<br />
*[[Shyriath|Shyriath Bukolos]];<br />
*[[Hallbjörn Haraldsson]] of the Houses of [[House of Ayreon-Kalirion|Ayreon-Kalirion]] and of the [[House of Ettlingar Freyu|Descendants of Freyja]];<br />
*[[Queen Noor]], head of state of the [[Goldshire|Kingdom of Goldshire]];<br />
*Queen Mira Raynora Major, head of state of the [[Lichbrook|Kingdom of Lichbrook]];<br />
*Mira Octavius-Aryani.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Imperial Decrees==<br />
Imperial Decrees made by this Kaiser: [[Imperial Decree 809]], [[Imperial Decree 810]], [[Imperial Decree 811]], [[Imperial Decree 812]], [[Imperial Decree 813]], [[Imperial Decree 814]], [[Imperial Decree 815]], [[Imperial Decree 816]], [[Imperial Decree 817]], [[Imperial Decree 818]], [[Imperial Decree 819]], [[Imperial Decree 820]], [[Imperial Decree 821]].<br />

<hr />
<div>The following is a list of [[Kaiser]]s of [[Shireroth]] in chronologial order, from the legendary beginnings of Shireroth until the present; the calendar used is the [[ASC]] reckoning. Where known, each Kaiser has listed after zir in parentheses the [[Imperial Bloodline]] to which they belonged. Kaiseresses are denoted with ''italics'', ruling Stewards with '''<small>bold and small text</small>'''. Periods in which the Landsraad ruled the Imperial Republic directly are marked as "'''Landsraad'''".<br />
<br />
Many of the Kaisers in this list are [[Fictional History|fictional]]; Shireroth's true founding was in 262 ASC (the beginning of the [[Third Era]]). The institution of the [[Kaisership]] occurred later, in approximately 501, with Erik Mortis becoming [[Kaiser Metzler I]]. The first historically accurate ascension date is believed to be that of [[Kaiser Gaelen II|Gaelen II]] in 919, and all dates after that are taken to be authentic.<br />

<hr />
<div>The following is a list of [[Kaiser]]s of [[Shireroth]] in chronologial order, from the legendary beginnings of Shireroth until the present; the calendar used is the [[ASC]] reckoning. Where known, each Kaiser has listed after zir in parentheses the [[Imperial Bloodline]] to which they belonged. Kaiseresses are denoted with ''italics'', ruling Stewards with '''<small>bold and small text</small>'''. Periods in which the Landsraad ruled the Imperial Republic directly are marked as "'''Landsraad'''".<br />
<br />
Many of the Kaisers in this list are [[Fictional History|fictional]]; Shireroth's true founding was in 262 ASC (the beginning of the [[Third Era]]). The institution of the [[Kaisership]] occurred later, in approximately 501, with Erik Mortis becoming [[Kaiser Metzler I]]. The first historically accurate ascension date is believed to be that of [[Kaiser Gaelen II|Gaelen II]] in 919, and all dates after that are taken to be authentic.<br />

<hr />
<div>The following is a list of [[Kaiser]]s of [[Shireroth]] in chronologial order, from the legendary beginnings of Shireroth until the present; the calendar used is the [[ASC]] reckoning. Where known, each Kaiser has listed after zir in parentheses the [[Imperial Bloodline]] to which they belonged. Kaiseresses are denoted with ''italics'', ruling Stewards with '''<small>bold and small text</small>'''. Periods in which the Landsraad ruled the Imperial Republic directly are marked as "'''Landsraad'''".<br />
<br />
Many of the Kaisers in this list are [[Fictional History|fictional]]; Shireroth's true founding was in 262 ASC (the beginning of the [[Third Era]]). The institution of the [[Kaisership]] occurred later, in approximately 501, with Erik Mortis becoming [[Kaiser Metzler I]]. The first historically accurate ascension date is believed to be that of [[Kaiser Gaelen II|Gaelen II]] in 919, and all dates after that are taken to be authentic.<br />

The '''Imperial Navy of Shireroth''' is the maritime arm of the the [[Military of Shireroth|Shirerithian military]]. It has been along since the establishment of Shireroth by the legendary Kaiser Raynor I and has since grown in size and importance. Because the territory of the Imperial Republic is spread over several continents and islands, the navy is one of the main weapons to fight off an invasion.<br />

<div>The ''S. S. Inevitably Destructive In All Circumstances'' is a Battleship currently based in Yardistan, under the command of that duchy. The ship was first brought to public recognition in the [[Scott Alexander]] historical novel [[Unaimed Arrow]].<br />

<hr />
<div>The Yardistani Militia Ship ''Kaiser Mors V'' was obtained under long-term lease from [[DSSI]] by the Duke of [[Yardistan]] in late 2007.<br />
<br />
It is alleged to be an "Iowa"-class battleship, but its provenence indicates that it is probably a clone / compatible. <br />
<br />
===Cyberian Service===<br />
The first existant record shows the ship as the CSS ''Barry Goldwater'' in service with the [[VCC]] Navy from 1998. It was used in various actions, mostly of a "show the flag" nature. The ship was dispatched to escort troop-carriers in an attempt to crush the [[Third War for Cyberian Liberation]]. Rumors that it would be used to bombard the city of [[Port Davies]] in [[Menet]] lead to a muntiny by the largely [[Mala'anje]] crew, who promptly re-cristened it as the ''[[Jacobus]] Imperator'' in honor of their traditional leader. It served under that name in the Federal [[Cyberia]]n Navy until declared surplus in 2006, when it was acquired by DSSI in a clouded transaction.<br />
<br />
===Shirirthain Service===<br />
In Shirithian service, it served in the 2007 rebellion, supporting the forces of the Kaiser it was named for. The Duke of Yardistan used it a his flagship during the [[Cognito]] expedition and picnic in early 2008.<br />
<br />
The ship provided the spearhead of Shireroth's response to Bosworthian aggression in the [[War of Jeremy's Nose]], shelling cities, military installations, and destroying stategic material.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''''Iceflower''''' is a ship currently owned and operated by Willowshire Shipyards but acting essentially under independent jurisdiction of its Captain, Tiberius Jones, due in part to the collapse of government in the [[Brettish Isles]] as a result of the potato famine. The ship carries 104 passengers with a crew of 35. It is a typical merchant ship of Brettish style and design – square-rigged and beak-bowed, with high, castle-like structures fore and aft that served to protect the ship's crew and the main deck from the elements. The ''Iceflower'' measures about 100 feet in length from the forward end at the beak of her prow to the tip of her stern superstructure aft. She is about 25 feet at her widest point, with about 12 feet of keel below the waterline. The maximum cargo volume of the ship is around 180 tons (163 MT).<br />

<br />
The ''Iceflower'' left the port of Montfort early in the morning of Spring 6302 ASC bearing due east. Journeying across relatively calm waters for two weeks the ship docked in Hampton Bay, a small [[Shireroth|Shirerithian]] port, in order to re-supply.<br />

== Biography ==<br />
<br />
'''Adam Anushiruwân Hilding Ayreon-Kalirion ibn al-Majeed bin Sathrati of Waffel-Paine''' (born 1630) is an [[Elwynn|Elwynnese]] prince and [[Natopia|Natopian]] nobleman of Royal and Imperial Rank. He is the eldest son of [[Queen Noor]] of [[Goldshire]] and her late husband (and former [[Natopia]]n emperor) [[Nathaniel Ayreon-Kalirion|Nathaniel]]. He was allegedly involved in the death of the [http://micras.org/wiki/index.php?title=Kattei_Emperor Kettei Emperor] during the [http://micras.org/wiki/index.php?title=Euran_War Euran war]. After the first, violent, phase of the Walstadt Crisis, Adam forfeited his title as Lord of Zauberförde while he and his mother were both expelled from the island. However this proved to be only a temporary setback as a reaction against King Welf quickly gathered pace, which saw Adam, at age seven, acclaimed as Lord of Walstadt by the Natopian Frenzy (legislature).<br />
<br />
He is the reigning Count of Anmutstadt and Count of Upper Macon (all in Natopia). From his membership in the [[Royal Family of Elwynn]] he is also entitled to the titles Prince of Elwynn, Count of [[Northshire]], Count of [[Arietta]], and Count of the [[Lady Esther Isles]].<br />
<br />
===Education===<br />
<br />
At the age of five he was enrolled into the Youth Boarding School of Walstadt's ''Jugendinternat'', a notoriously spartan educational establishment influenced by Jingdaoese political values, catologian religion and morality, none of which prevented Adam from acting as judge, jury, and potentially executioner, in the trial and death of the Kettei Emperor. Much of Walstadt was burnt to the ground and subsequently demolished after the enforced departure of the Blutwasser dynasty, bringing Adam's involvement with that institution to a premature end.<br />
<br />
Following that interruption to his schooling Adam was enrolled at the [[School of Erudition]] in the county of Amity, Mirioth and So-Sara that was founded by her aunt, the Emira of those islands, [[Isabella Simrani-Kalirion]]. As his many titles and positions require Adam to travel frequently on official business, the School of Erudition has also provided him with a personal tutor to help shape his personal development.<br />
<br />
===Angularis===<br />
In 1639 Lord Adam was invited to join the year long [[The Journey to the West|expedition]] of the [[Thorgils Tarjeisson|Count of Ran]], in his capacity as Arandur of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]] to the [[Vale of Angularis]]. The sons of [[Miranda Simrani-Kalirion]], Daniyal Anders (aged 10), Frederik Anders and Royston Anders (both aged 9), fostered as pages in the household of the the Count and being of a similar age to 'Little Lord Cleaver' were offered to Lord Adam to serve as his squires on such hunts as may occur.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
<br />
At 1.4 metres in height, Adam is unusually tall for his age group.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
<br />
Adam was a happy child until he was sent to the Youth Boarding School and witnessed the events of the Walstadt Crisis. It has been alleged, but never proven, that Lord Adam was encouraged to swing at least one of the blows that resulted in the eventual decapitation of the Emperor of Jingdao. As a consequence he has been known as 'Little Lord Cleaver'. <br />
<br />
Polite and proper in his conduct and deportment, Lord Adam remains aloof and apart from his age group, preferring the company of his servants and hunting dogs. An enthusiastic young naturalist, Adam enjoyed fox hunting and penguin shooting on Walstadt, and has been promised a place on a wolf hunt organised by the [[Thorgils Tarjeisson|Count of Ran]] when he is old enough. Adam has been taught that culling the old and the weak is an integral part of population management and conservation. It is a lesson he has taken to heart, although his tutor was obliged to intervene when he began applying some of those principles in the classroom.<br />
<br />
His experiences have taught him to be watchful of people, especially strangers, and as a consequence Adam can be hesitant to show trust. He is not quick to anger but his displeasure is invariably sharply felt by those who incur it, sooner or later.<br />
<br />
Academically he has shown promise in the humanities and also with languages, and can be unusually persuasive for his age when speaking, although he struggles with anything beyond basic numeracy and the times tables.<br />
<br />
== Relationships ==<br />
<br />
Although he never really knew his biological father, Adam has regular contact with his mother, as well as his aunt Isabella and step-aunt [[Miranda Simrani-Kalirion|Miranda]]. His step-father, [[King Noah]], is also known to take an interest in the boy's upbringing. When he first heard of his step-aunt [[Fjǫrleif Hallbjörnsdóttir|Fjǫrleif]] of [[Amokolia]] having performed several executions on her own in her native Stormark, Adam began admiring her. Whenever he meets her, he asks her to tell him stories of her executions and battles. She also educates him in the art of swordcraft and other martial arts.<br />
<br />
His closest personal attachment outside of blood kin is to his private tutor, Miss Yara Rose of the School of Erudition, who in addition to those duties acts as a confidante, bodyguard and surrogate mother.<br />

'''The River War''' was an unsuccessful attempt by hard-line [[Cedrism|Cedrists]] and [[Elwynn|Elwynnese]] ultra-nationalists to mount a quick decapitation strike on the [[King of Elwynn|Monarchy of Elwynn]] which was led by Princess [[Margana Win'Eth|Margana]], the daughter of [[The Kaiser|Kaiser]] [[Brrapa VII]] and sponsored by the patricians of [[Shirekeep]] and the Court within [[Raynor's Keep]].<br />
<br />
In spite of being well resourced and brutally executed, the attempted takeover of Elwynn by a combination of a coup and 'hybrid warfare' failed spectacularly and rebounded upon the heads of the plotters. Not only were they unsuccessful in their efforts to exterminate the [[Royal Family of Elwynn]] but the war ended with the [[Hallbjörn Haraldsson|King's father]] entering Shirekeep as a conqueror.<br />
<br />
==Timeline==<br />
<br />
Reire 9 Vixaslaa, 1623 - The Abdication of the Prince [[Jonathan Ayreon-Kalirion|Jonathan]]. [[Storjarl]] Hallbjörn Haraldsson appointed [[Steward of Elwynn|Steward]] for Prince Thorstein Noah. Courtiers in Shirekeep alarmed. Republicans, Communists, Nationalists & Humanists in Elwynn furious.<br><br />
23 Vixaslaa, 1623 - [[Concordat of Avaldsnes]]. Cedrists outraged at the introduction of 'yet more foreign demons'. Church of Elwynn notably unhappy at the [[White Orchid Temple]] being confirmed in the possession of the priesthood of the [[Froyalanish Ancient Ways]].<br><br />
Amnure 19 Gevrader, 1629 - Prince Noah is elevated to kingship, the first in Elwynn's history and a break with tradition and precedent that infuriates Ayreonists.<br><br />
Izillare 8 Vixaslaa, 1629 - The [[Union Defence Force]] re-established. <br><br />
23 Vixaslaa 1630: Constitution amended to further criminalise discrimination against non-human 'Sentient Beings'. Perceived by Humanists as undermining the Human Supremacy in Elwynn for the benefit of the [[Vanafolk]].<br><br />
Reire 9 Fasmas, 1633 - [[Kaiser Brrapa VII]] ascends the Golden Mango Throne. [[Hallbjörn Haraldsson]] appointed [[Steward|Steward of Shireroth]].<br><br />
Reire 21 Araroqpinu, 1633 - Father Dominus, Master of the Order of the Final Days granted royal patronage to defend the Cedrist Faith. Originally intended to target [[Sighvat the Yardistani]].<br><br />
TBC 1633/1634 - Margana WinEith falls under the influence of Father Dominus.<br><br />
1634 - Margana WinEith engaged to protegee of Father Dominus, Count Delven of Kezan.<br><br />
Early 1635 - The murder of Count Delven by [[Deimos Jasonides]] (why not) after an altercation in a bar. Stricken with grief and rage, counselled by Father Dominus, Margana aligns strongly with the faction in the Imperial Court that advocates a preemptive war against Elwynn before it grows to dominate all of [[Shireroth]].<br><br />
18 Araroqpinu 1635 - al-Zaraqi Cell (Jingdaoese Tegong) organises a medical kidnapping and stages an attempt on the life of heavily pregnant [[Queen Noor]]. Heavy handed response by the security forces results in localised fighting in [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]]. Conspirators take advantage to begin moving assets into Elwynn.<br><br />
24 Araroqpinu, 1635 - Attack on [[Eliria]].<br><br />
Reire 15 Elroqpinu, 1635 - Siege of Shirekeep begins.<br><br />
Izillare 20 Elroqpinu, 1635 - [[UDF]] enters Shirekeep. Death of Brrapa VII. Hallbjörn acclaimed as [[Kaiser Hjalmar]].<br><br />

<br />
At 0730 on [insert date] Bombs detonated along the route of the [[Steward of Elwynn#King's Daily Morning Ride|King's traditional morning procession]]. Mass civilian casualties ensue. Hallbjörn Haraldsson rushed to the scene at the head of a security detail under his personal command to ensure the safety of the [[King Noah of Elwynn|King]] and to extract him from harms way. Gunmen ambush the first-responders arriving at the scene, including Hallbjörn's detachment, killing most and wounding Hallbjörn who is cut off and pursued by a death-squad as a high priority target. In the meantime Noah, although encumbered by ceremonial armour and thrown from his eviscerated horse, had managed to stagger clear of the kill zone, although dazed and bloodied as he did so. He remained however, singularly conspicuous and his attackers quickly set to work trying to bring him down. The King however was not one for yielding. After hacking to death one assailant who foolishly had defied orders and tried to capture him alive, Noah was saved by loyalist civilians who, by acting as human shields, sacrificed their lives buying him time to escape. The King was then rescued by a detachment of [[Fleur de Lys-Longships Guard|Longships Guardsmen]], who delivered him to the police barracks on Cho'Gall Avenue.<br />
<br />
Under the cover of this carnage the plotters launched a devastating surprise attack on [[Eliria]] utilising mercenaries and rebel militants smuggled into the city during the days prior to the attack. Prince Nathaniel International Airport stormed by terrorists disembarking from a specially chartered flight. <br />
<br />
At 0735 the UDF Aerodrome and main depot in Eliria was hit by cruise missile strikes conducted by the Strike Command of the [[Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces]] (ISAF), which however was at that time under the effective Department of Applied Eschatology. The base was bracketed by 8 cruise missiles and 4 "short-range" missiles followed by a conventional bombing run by a stealth bomber and a swarming attack by UCAVs effectively closing down the aerodrome and preventing any UDF aviation assets from providing air support to the security forces in the capital.<br />
<br />
The [[Palace of Krull]] and [[Eliria Castle]] was locked down by the [[Fleur de Lys-Longships Guard|palace guards]] and suicide car bombers where thwarted by a combination of automatically raised steel barriers on the approach roads to the palaces and accurate sniper fire from the turrets and battlements of Eliria Castle. The chaos however meant that both Noah and Hallbjörn were, for the moment, effectively incommunicado, leaving the task of organising a response in the hands of [[Fjǫrleif Hallbjörnsdóttir]] and the slightly improbable character of [[Yumi Zotrasdóttir]].<br />
<br />
Hallbjörn, trapped out on the streets and forced to engage in a battle of wits with his pursuers, began to turn the tables on them by leaving false trails causing the assailants to split up, allowing him to double back and begin to pick them off, one at a time, whittling down their numbers and undermining their morale and resolve at a time when they needed to be brutal and decisive in order to achieve their objectives before the authorities were able to re-establish their command structures and bring overwhelming firepower to bear.<br />
<br />
As noted the principle UDF aerodrome in Eliria was struck at 0735 by air assets under the command of the Department of Applied Eschatology, now however follow up attacks were begun against the more substantial assets then held by the Longships Guard (which at this time was the more formidable of the two armed forces in Elwynn, the UDF still undergoing the slow process of force-regeneration after its re-establishment in 1629). The main strike force of the ISAF, comprised of six Jagdgeschwader of [http://shireroth.org/wiki/images/d/d0/OAH_F8_Shrike.png F8 Shrike] strike aircraft, now entered the fray in a series of devastating sorties split over three successive waves.<br />
<br />
First wave (0745): 11 airfields around Eliria were attacked by 40 ISAF aircraft and 8 radar stations were destroyed by a combination of UCAVs, stealth fighters and attack helicopters. <br />
Second wave (0930): 16 airfields around Ardashirshahr were attacked by 20 ISAF strike aircraft supported by 4 pairs of UAV reconnaissance drones providing continuous overwatch of the target locations as each airfield was it in sequence. <br />
Third Wave (1215): 85 UCAV drone strkes against Eliria, 48 against Ardashirshahr, 67 against Echo and one stealth bomber mission against Krull Palace.<br />
<br />
Although the attack on Eliria failed in its key objective of decapitating the Elwynnese regime in a single blow it must however be considered a considerable success as it knocked out a dozen airfields, destroyed an appreciable number of UDF combat aircraft and seriously degraded the command and control structures of the Elwynnese forces whilst throwing the political system into chaos.<br />
<br />
For the coup plotters and their backers in Shirekeep the next step was to build upon this early success and bring sufficient force to bear in order to crush Elwynn before its forces could rally. At that moment reinforcements, in the shape of 10,000 hired mercenaries pledged to the House of Win'Eth were already on their way north, having set sail from Shirekeep in converted and armoured grain barges during the preceding night. Ahead of this main force, small teams of commandos from sympathetic factions in the Imperial military, were already active in seeking to secure the key points along the [[Elwynn (River)#The White Elwynn|White Elwynn]] that were vital for the voyage of the main force northwards to Eliria. Their first target was Islus.<br />
<br />
==Battle of Islus==<br />
<br />
The strategic importance of Islus for the coup plotters was that it controlled the East Elwynn Sluices which controlled the flow of water on the [[Elwynn (River)#The White Elwynn|White Elwynn]] and served as a barrier to navigation between Shirekeep and Eliria. For the bulk of the mercenary force to continue its journey northwards it would be necessary to secure the sluices.<br />
<br />
The Imperial Volunteer Forces launched their offensive on the same day as the attacks in Eliria unfolded, no pre-raid bombing took place as to avoid damaging infrastructure in and around the sluices and to maintain the element of surprise. Destruction of the East Elwynn Sluice would have had grave results for both sides and the peoples of Elwynn, Goldshire and Shirekeep.<br />
<br />
The strike force disembarked at a landing zone 1.3km north-west of the sluices from a rigid airship disguised as a Ryker blimp that had experienced technical problems and been obliged to make a forced landing just inside Elwynnese territory. A convoy of four ambulances, two fire-engines and a heavy rescue vehicle was dispatched by the Islus Commandery of the Society of St. Harald's Emergency Services (SHES) and swiftly arrived at the scene. The emergency workers were allowed to begin their inspection of the airship before the crew and 'passengers' of the revealed their hostile intent, at which point it was too late and those who tried to radio a warning back to Islus were gunned down in the cabs of their vehicles. In this manner an ambulances and the two fire-engines were rendered inoperable. A total of thirty society members (eighteen male confrères, twelve female consœurs) comprised of ten paramedics, eleven fire fighters and nine rescue specialists, including the twice decorated King's Rescuer, Ahmed Farhan KR, were forcibly detained by the commandos. These prisoners were then led into a nearby copse where they were forced to strip out of their uniforms before being forced to kneel down naked in the dirt. Each one was then executed by being shot once in the base of the skull at point blank range by a semi-automatic weapon. The bodies, subsequently identifiable only from their dental records, were left where they had fallen. The commandos then gathered up the discarded uniforms and returned to the airship where they quickly washed the blood from their hands and faces before selecting who from amongst their number would don the SHES uniforms. Taking the surviving two ambulances and the heavy rescue vehicle, a party of fifteen commandos set off in the direction of the sluice. Taking full advantage of their disguises the raiding party gained access to the perimeter at the west gate, whereupon they were able to surprise and overpower the Emirati Riddare guards before garroting them and leaving behind a party of five men, now changed into those uniforms, to hold the gate for the main party of the strike force, who were advancing on foot. The bodies were dragged out of view and dumped into a janitor's cupboard in the guardroom. <br />
<br />
The remaining ten men took the heavy rescue vehicle and drove round to the pound locks and floodgates of the navigable western channel of the [[Elwynn (River)#The White Elwynn|White Elwynn]]. Holding this would prove crucial to allowing the towed invasion barges to sail north beyond Islus.<br />
<br />
Although it was unbeknown to the attackers at this stage, they had already lost the advantage of surprise. It so happened that, on that morning, a shepherd had taken the local baker's young daughter into that same copse so that they might get to know each other better before returning to their respective chores for the day. As it happened, they had become so thoroughly acquainted that they had fallen into a deep slumber and overslept to the point that the morning was well advanced when they were rudely awoken by a succession of loud gunshots. Crawling through the undergrowth, they were able to observe the raiders departing the scene of the massacre. Pausing only to gather up their clothes, the pair crept through to the edge of the copse where they were able to see the whole scene of armed men stood in front of a vast airship, changing uniforms and taking the three commandeered vehicles and driving off in the direction of the sluices. They also saw a party of eighty heavily armed men in khaki combat fatigues form up and set off on foot in the same direction. This left five men, two in uniforms of the Ryker Airship's corporation and three in civilian clothes of a cut that suggested plain-clothes detectives of the Corps of Gentlemen-at-Cudgels to clean up the crime scene and to deal with any countryside strollers come to gawp at the grounded airship. Appalled at what they had witnessed, the pair doubled back into the dense and tangled foliage of the copse. Their distress was multiplied as, in their hurry they blundered onto the row of mowed down corpses. Rushing now through the undergrowth, but fortunately not pursued, they had, after moments of agonising dread and mounting panic, managed to locate their bicycles and retraced their route out of the copse along the by-lane that led back to the rural outskirts of Islus. The baker's daughter had an Elwnet enabled communications hailer and, as soon as she heard the ping that confirmed she had a signal, she was able to place a call alerting the authorities that 'terrorists' had brought an airship down near the East Elwynn Sluice and murdered the first-responders. <br />
<br />
By now the first garbled reports of the atrocities in Eliria were starting to fly over the Elwnet and this emergency call, combined with the earlier reports of an airship in distress, was sufficient to spark considerable alarm amongst the authorities in Islus.<br />
<br />
==Disaster at Zoroaster==<br />
<br />
Struggling to react to the news of the fall of Islus, the [[Thorgils Tarjeisson|Arandur]] of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]] dispatched his aide, an Alexandrian who rejoiced in the name of Francisco Solano Burnside, to take command of what forces could be gathered in the precinct to halt the advance on Eliria and retake the second city of the Emirate. It did not prove to be an inspired choice.<br />
<br />
The man, described as a 'tsunami of corpulent flesh' with a pear-shaped face and heavy pendulous jowls, was often ridiculed for having lost all semblance of the human form. Moreover, this physically repulsive megalomaniac fancied himself as an expert of military matters and had built his career upon somehow being able to convince his colleagues of this quite improbable fact. He was even known, it was said, to keep one arm inside his jacket to ape the posture of that famous general Lord Montague. At this first conference with the contactable UDF commanders and various paramilitary leaders in a hastily convened 'operations room' in Xahazerke city hall, he was however able to impress upon those gathered there a sense of his determination and confidence. It was a pity for them all that this was a confidence without foundation.<br />
<br />
Islus, he portentously informed them, was the key to control of the [[Elwynn (River)#The White Elwynn|White Elwynn]], without it there could be no victory and Eliria could not be defended. Without hesitation he ordered ''Brigadgeneral'' Mankell to mobilise the 101st Elwynnbrigaden and to take it back. His certitude of victory was reinforced by the flattery of the politically astute ''Kapten'' Eliza Carstens, who now became his foremost accomplice. It is fair to say that she was possessed of a personality almost as dreadful as that of Burnside himself. Indeed it was Carstens, who claimed to be the third cousin of the late ''Conducător'' [[Royston Merrick]], who fed Burnside's vanity, filling his mind with ideas of military greatness. Henceforth she was always at his side urging him onwards and it is widely presumed that she became his mistress after that first evening. <br />
<br />
It was probably at her suggestion that a state banquet and formal ball was organised in Xahazerke, a town that had, in all likelihood, never previously witnessed such a spectacle. Eliza certainly was at the fore when it came to managing the event. All the burghers of the city were instructed, on the pain of deliberately unspecified consequences, to appear in their richest clothes and the ladies to year all their jewels. An oil painting of King Noah was placed upon an empty throne and everyone obediently bowed to his likeness throughout the evening during the six course banquet. No sooner had the orchestra finished its uncertain recital of the National Anthem and struck up the first chords of the first dance, which Francisco's waddling form had the dubious privilege of leading, when a motorcycle courier arrived bringing Burnside news of the 101st's surrender to the coup plotters. Burnside lost what little self-control he normally possessed, shrieking the foulest imaginable curses against the name of Mankell. The Brigadier-General, wisely as it happened, elected not to return with news of his humiliation and instead travelled south to Shirekeep as an honoured prisoner, to make his submission to the Mango Throne. In his absence Mankell's family was subjected to a vindictive and vicious 'writ of cudgelling' instead. In the absence of the normal peacetime rules and procedures, the punishment beating was appallingly brutal and the Brigadier-General's nine-year old son subsequently died from internal bleeding on the brain caused by a fractured skull.<br />
<br />
As for the disaster that overwhelmed the 101st, it proved to be one of the worst humiliations to ever befall the UDF.<br />
<br />
==Repulse at Echo==<br />
<br />
The significant impact of the Battle of Echo was that the Elwynnese forces learned how to use their ground based air-defence assets to neutralise the threat posed by the stealth aircraft and the UCAV swarming tactics of the ISAF. Without close air support the armoured barges of the invasion fleet were ponderous and vulnerable to tank and artillery fire from the shore resulting in their destruction and the failure of the mercenary advance on Eliria.<br />
<br />
==The Pursuit==<br />
[[File:Dromosker Mercenaries.png|250px|thumb|right|<div class="left" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><small>Dromosker mercenaries briefed by Imperialist officers before launching a futile counter attack against pursuing Elwynnese troops. The Dromosker had a reputation for savagery but were ill-equipped, undisciplined and poorly trained. They were deliberately sent to their deaths to cover the retreat of the Shirerithians. </small></div>]]<br />
Forced to turn about, the surviving barges were beached along the western shore of the river in Utasia. The mercenaries, harassed now by detachments of cudgellers and Longship Guards, fought their way southwards through Alalehzamin towards Shirekeep and the perceived safety of Raynor's Keep. In so doing they found themselves ensnared in the bitter communal strife that had erupted in the [[Babkhi]] community between those who wished to cast of the hated yoke of [[Froyalanish]] rule and those who were even more atavistic in their hatred of the ''Sathrati kuffar''.<br />
<br />
Battles developed a crude rhythm; whenever the mercenaries and the Imperialists turned to make an stand and fight, the pursuing Elwynnese scouts would pull back after initial contact and put a call in for artillery support to hold the enemy in place whilst mechanised infantry and armour caught up. These forces would then close in to lay down a suppressing fire upon the Imperialists whilst cudgellers, the Vanic Temple Guards and the Behsaz militia converged on the scene. These forces would be held back while the firefight raged, but once it showed signs of slacking, as ammunition ran low on both sides, the paramilitary elements would be sent swarming forward under the cover of a final fusillade, to try and flush the Imperialists out of their positions, typically a rocky outcrop, a forest plantation, a [[Godsgrove|sacred grove]] or a deserted hamlet, in close-quarter and melee combat. The mercenaries and Imperialists quickly adapted to these tactics, conserving mortar rounds and machine-gun ammunition to enable the repulse of any 'human wave' attacks. Nonetheless, on many occasions it was reduced down to a grim slaughter of bayonet against sword, throwing knife against bow, and sharpened trenching spade against cudgel, before the surviving Imperialists could hack their way clear of the encirclement and continue the wearying yet frantic trudge southwards.<br />
<br />
==Siege of Shirekeep==<br />
[[File:Mud.png|250px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><small>UDF infantry attempting to rescue an Imperial Volunteer from sinking into mud-filled shell crater on the edge of Shirekeep. </small></div>]]<br />
<br />
==Aftermath==<br />
<br />
==Controversy==<br />
<br />
It was said by some that Brrapa VII was conveniently ill at the start of the war and conveniently dead at its end.<br />
<br />
One of the notable aspects of the war, which effectively lasted for two months at most, was the rate at which stockpiles of modern hi-tech guided munitions and missiles were rapidly depleted. The Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces (ISAF) had expended its reserves of cruise missiles within the first week of the conflict and was still trying to acquire and adapt ship launched missiles from the [[Imperial Navy of Shireroth|Imperial Shirerithian Navy]] (which had remained neutral in the conflict) by the time the war ended. Similarly the UDF had been caught short and taken by surprise by the war and was still trying to reactivate the ''[[wikipedia:V2 rocket|Southron Barrage]]'' programme by the war's end. The UDF had also run its stockpiles of medium-range [[wikipedia:Buk missile system#9M317 missile|anti-aircraft missiles]] down to the point of exhaustion during the Battle of Echo. The decision of the Imperialists to hold back their remaining air assets, particularly the UCAVs, after the shocking losses of that engagement proved to be the hinge point that turned what might have been a mere setback into the decisive victory that ensured the survival of the Elwynnese Union and its eventual victory.<br />
<br />
By the final weeks of the war even the supplies of unguided 'dumb' bombs were being run down to the point that the Arandur of Alalehzamin and Utasia was obliged to establish workshops to produce [[wikipedia:Qassam rocket|crude unguided rockets]] in order to keep up the rate of fire on the defenders of Shirekeep and the ISAF was giving serious consideration to adapting its remaining UCAV force to drop [[wikipedia:Barrel bombs|re-purposed canisters packed with high-explosives]]. <br />
<br />
This experience subsequently informed the strategic and operational doctrines of both the UDF and the reformed (i.e. purged) [[Imperial Forces]] in that the technologically sophisticated weapons systems began to be viewed as an exquisitely crafted and expensive blade of tremendous penetrating power that nonetheless blunted quickly through frequent use. For this reason it began to be felt that what was required was a second line of sufficient mass and firepower that would be less sophisticated, and for therefore more affordable, that could get the job done - through blunt object trauma if need be - once the enemy's own, exquisitely wrought, first line of defences had been sufficiently burnt through to provide an opening. <br />
<br />
The desire to test this new theory against a representation of an avowedly unconventional opposing force gave rise to the series of military exercises known as [[Operation Long Haul]] and all the attendant controversies that ensued when neighbouring Minarboria became thoroughly alarmed. <br />

<br />
'''The River War''' was an unsuccessful attempt by hard-line [[Cedrism|Cedrists]] and [[Elwynn|Elwynnese]] ultra-nationalists to mount a quick decapitation strike on the [[King of Elwynn|Monarchy of Elwynn]] which was led by Princess [[Margana Win'Eth|Margana]], the daughter of [[The Kaiser|Kaiser]] [[Brrapa VII]] and sponsored by the patricians of [[Shirekeep]] and the Court within [[Raynor's Keep]].<br />
<br />
In spite of being well resourced and brutally executed, the attempted takeover of Elwynn by a combination of a coup and 'hybrid warfare' failed spectacularly and rebounded upon the heads of the plotters. Not only were they unsuccessful in their efforts to exterminate the [[Royal Family of Elwynn]] but the war ended with the [[Hallbjörn Haraldsson|King's father]] entering Shirekeep as a conqueror.<br />
<br />
==Timeline==<br />
<br />
Reire 9 Vixaslaa, 1623 - The Abdication of the Prince [[Jonathan Ayreon-Kalirion|Jonathan]]. [[Storjarl]] Hallbjörn Haraldsson appointed [[Steward of Elwynn|Steward]] for Prince Thorstein Noah. Courtiers in Shirekeep alarmed. Republicans, Communists, Nationalists & Humanists in Elwynn furious.<br><br />
23 Vixaslaa, 1623 - [[Concordat of Avaldsnes]]. Cedrists outraged at the introduction of 'yet more foreign demons'. Church of Elwynn notably unhappy at the [[White Orchid Temple]] being confirmed in the possession of the priesthood of the [[Froyalanish Ancient Ways]].<br><br />
Amnure 19 Gevrader, 1629 - Prince Noah is elevated to kingship, the first in Elwynn's history and a break with tradition and precedent that infuriates Ayreonists.<br><br />
Izillare 8 Vixaslaa, 1629 - The [[Union Defence Force]] re-established. <br><br />
23 Vixaslaa 1630: Constitution amended to further criminalise discrimination against non-human 'Sentient Beings'. Perceived by Humanists as undermining the Human Supremacy in Elwynn for the benefit of the [[Vanafolk]].<br><br />
Reire 9 Fasmas, 1633 - [[Kaiser Brrapa VII]] ascends the Golden Mango Throne. [[Hallbjörn Haraldsson]] appointed [[Steward|Steward of Shireroth]].<br><br />
Reire 21 Araroqpinu, 1633 - Father Dominus, Master of the Order of the Final Days granted royal patronage to defend the Cedrist Faith. Originally intended to target [[Sighvat the Yardistani]].<br><br />
TBC 1633/1634 - Margana WinEith falls under the influence of Father Dominus.<br><br />
1634 - Margana WinEith engaged to protegee of Father Dominus, Count Delven of Kezan.<br><br />
Early 1635 - The murder of Count Delven by [[Deimos Jasonides]] (why not) after an altercation in a bar. Stricken with grief and rage, counselled by Father Dominus, Margana aligns strongly with the faction in the Imperial Court that advocates a preemptive war against Elwynn before it grows to dominate all of [[Shireroth]].<br><br />
18 Araroqpinu 1635 - al-Zaraqi Cell (Jingdaoese Tegong) organises a medical kidnapping and stages an attempt on the life of heavily pregnant [[Queen Noor]]. Heavy handed response by the security forces results in localised fighting in [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]]. Conspirators take advantage to begin moving assets into Elwynn.<br><br />
24 Araroqpinu, 1635 - Attack on [[Eliria]].<br><br />
Reire 15 Elroqpinu, 1635 - Siege of Shirekeep begins.<br><br />
Izillare 20 Elroqpinu, 1635 - [[UDF]] enters Shirekeep. Death of Brrapa VII. Hallbjörn acclaimed as [[Kaiser Hjalmar]].<br><br />

<br />
==A Coalition of the Desperate and the Damned==<br />
<br />
==The Plan takes Shape==<br />
<br />
==Battle of Eliria==<br />
<br />
At 0730 on [insert date] Bombs detonated along the route of the [[Steward of Elwynn#King's Daily Morning Ride|King's traditional morning procession]]. Mass civilian casualties ensue. Hallbjörn Haraldsson rushed to the scene at the head of a security detail under his personal command to ensure the safety of the [[King Noah of Elwynn|King]] and to extract him from harms way. Gunmen ambush the first-responders arriving at the scene, including Hallbjörn's detachment, killing most and wounding Hallbjörn who is cut off and pursued by a death-squad as a high priority target. In the meantime Noah, although encumbered by ceremonial armour and thrown from his eviscerated horse, had managed to stagger clear of the kill zone, although dazed and bloodied as he did so. He remained however, singularly conspicuous and his attackers quickly set to work trying to bring him down. The King however was not one for yielding. After hacking to death one assailant who foolishly had defied orders and tried to capture him alive, Noah was saved by loyalist civilians who, by acting as human shields, sacrificed their lives buying him time to escape. The King was then rescued by a detachment of [[Fleur de Lys-Longships Guard|Longships Guardsmen]], who delivered him to the police barracks on Cho'Gall Avenue.<br />
<br />
Under the cover of this carnage the plotters launched a devastating surprise attack on [[Eliria]] utilising mercenaries and rebel militants smuggled into the city during the days prior to the attack. Prince Nathaniel International Airport stormed by terrorists disembarking from a specially chartered flight. <br />
<br />
At 0735 the UDF Aerodrome and main depot in Eliria was hit by cruise missile strikes conducted by the Strike Command of the [[Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces]] (ISAF), which however was at that time under the effective Department of Applied Eschatology. The base was bracketed by 8 cruise missiles and 4 "short-range" missiles followed by a conventional bombing run by a stealth bomber and a swarming attack by UCAVs effectively closing down the aerodrome and preventing any UDF aviation assets from providing air support to the security forces in the capital.<br />
<br />
The [[Palace of Krull]] and [[Eliria Castle]] was locked down by the [[Fleur de Lys-Longships Guard|palace guards]] and suicide car bombers where thwarted by a combination of automatically raised steel barriers on the approach roads to the palaces and accurate sniper fire from the turrets and battlements of Eliria Castle. The chaos however meant that both Noah and Hallbjörn were, for the moment, effectively incommunicado, leaving the task of organising a response in the hands of [[Fjǫrleif Hallbjörnsdóttir]] and the slightly improbable character of [[Yumi Zotrasdóttir]].<br />
<br />
Hallbjörn, trapped out on the streets and forced to engage in a battle of wits with his pursuers, began to turn the tables on them by leaving false trails causing the assailants to split up, allowing him to double back and begin to pick them off, one at a time, whittling down their numbers and undermining their morale and resolve at a time when they needed to be brutal and decisive in order to achieve their objectives before the authorities were able to re-establish their command structures and bring overwhelming firepower to bear.<br />
<br />
As noted the principle UDF aerodrome in Eliria was struck at 0735 by air assets under the command of the Department of Applied Eschatology, now however follow up attacks were begun against the more substantial assets then held by the Longships Guard (which at this time was the more formidable of the two armed forces in Elwynn, the UDF still undergoing the slow process of force-regeneration after its re-establishment in 1629). The main strike force of the ISAF, comprised of six Jagdgeschwader of [http://shireroth.org/wiki/images/d/d0/OAH_F8_Shrike.png F8 Shrike] strike aircraft, now entered the fray in a series of devastating sorties split over three successive waves.<br />
<br />
First wave (0745): 11 airfields around Eliria were attacked by 40 ISAF aircraft and 8 radar stations were destroyed by a combination of UCAVs, stealth fighters and attack helicopters. <br />
Second wave (0930): 16 airfields around Ardashirshahr were attacked by 20 ISAF strike aircraft supported by 4 pairs of UAV reconnaissance drones providing continuous overwatch of the target locations as each airfield was it in sequence. <br />
Third Wave (1215): 85 UCAV drone strkes against Eliria, 48 against Ardashirshahr, 67 against Echo and one stealth bomber mission against Krull Palace.<br />
<br />
Although the attack on Eliria failed in its key objective of decapitating the Elwynnese regime in a single blow it must however be considered a considerable success as it knocked out a dozen airfields, destroyed an appreciable number of UDF combat aircraft and seriously degraded the command and control structures of the Elwynnese forces whilst throwing the political system into chaos.<br />
<br />
For the coup plotters and their backers in Shirekeep the next step was to build upon this early success and bring sufficient force to bear in order to crush Elwynn before its forces could rally. At that moment reinforcements, in the shape of 10,000 hired mercenaries pledged to the House of Win'Eth were already on their way north, having set sail from Shirekeep in converted and armoured grain barges during the preceding night. Ahead of this main force, small teams of commandos from sympathetic factions in the Imperial military, were already active in seeking to secure the key points along the [[Elwynn (River)#The White Elwynn|White Elwynn]] that were vital for the voyage of the main force northwards to Eliria. Their first target was Islus.<br />
<br />
==Battle of Islus==<br />
<br />
The strategic importance of Islus for the coup plotters was that it controlled the East Elwynn Sluices which controlled the flow of water on the [[Elwynn (River)#The White Elwynn|White Elwynn]] and served as a barrier to navigation between Shirekeep and Eliria. For the bulk of the mercenary force to continue its journey northwards it would be necessary to secure the sluices.<br />
<br />
The Imperial Volunteer Forces launched their offensive on the same day as the attacks in Eliria unfolded, no pre-raid bombing took place as to avoid damaging infrastructure in and around the sluices and to maintain the element of surprise. Destruction of the East Elwynn Sluice would have had grave results for both sides and the peoples of Elwynn, Goldshire and Shirekeep.<br />
<br />
The strike force disembarked at a landing zone 1.3km north-west of the sluices from a rigid airship disguised as a Ryker blimp that had experienced technical problems and been obliged to make a forced landing just inside Elwynnese territory. A convoy of four ambulances, two fire-engines and a heavy rescue vehicle was dispatched by the Islus Commandery of the Society of St. Harald's Emergency Services (SHES) and swiftly arrived at the scene. The emergency workers were allowed to begin their inspection of the airship before the crew and 'passengers' of the revealed their hostile intent, at which point it was too late and those who tried to radio a warning back to Islus were gunned down in the cabs of their vehicles. In this manner an ambulances and the two fire-engines were rendered inoperable. A total of thirty society members (eighteen male confrères, twelve female consœurs) comprised of ten paramedics, eleven fire fighters and nine rescue specialists, including the twice decorated King's Rescuer, Ahmed Farhan KR, were forcibly detained by the commandos. These prisoners were then led into a nearby copse where they were forced to strip out of their uniforms before being forced to kneel down naked in the dirt. Each one was then executed by being shot once in the base of the skull at point blank range by a semi-automatic weapon. The bodies, subsequently identifiable only from their dental records, were left where they had fallen. The commandos then gathered up the discarded uniforms and returned to the airship where they quickly washed the blood from their hands and faces before selecting who from amongst their number would don the SHES uniforms. Taking the surviving two ambulances and the heavy rescue vehicle, a party of fifteen commandos set off in the direction of the sluice. Taking full advantage of their disguises the raiding party gained access to the perimeter at the west gate, whereupon they were able to surprise and overpower the Emirati Riddare guards before garroting them and leaving behind a party of five men, now changed into those uniforms, to hold the gate for the main party of the strike force, who were advancing on foot. The bodies were dragged out of view and dumped into a janitor's cupboard in the guardroom. <br />
<br />
The remaining ten men took the heavy rescue vehicle and drove round to the pound locks and floodgates of the navigable western channel of the [[Elwynn (River)#The White Elwynn|White Elwynn]]. Holding this would prove crucial to allowing the towed invasion barges to sail north beyond Islus.<br />
<br />
Although it was unbeknown to the attackers at this stage, they had already lost the advantage of surprise. It so happened that, on that morning, a shepherd had taken the local baker's young daughter into that same copse so that they might get to know each other better before returning to their respective chores for the day. As it happened, they had become so thoroughly acquainted that they had fallen into a deep slumber and overslept to the point that the morning was well advanced when they were rudely awoken by a succession of loud gunshots. Crawling through the undergrowth, they were able to observe the raiders departing the scene of the massacre. Pausing only to gather up their clothes, the pair crept through to the edge of the copse where they were able to see the whole scene of armed men stood in front of a vast airship, changing uniforms and taking the three commandeered vehicles and driving off in the direction of the sluices. They also saw a party of eighty heavily armed men in khaki combat fatigues form up and set off on foot in the same direction. This left five men, two in uniforms of the Ryker Airship's corporation and three in civilian clothes of a cut that suggested plain-clothes detectives of the Corps of Gentlemen-at-Cudgels to clean up the crime scene and to deal with any countryside strollers come to gawp at the grounded airship. Appalled at what they had witnessed, the pair doubled back into the dense and tangled foliage of the copse. Their distress was multiplied as, in their hurry they blundered onto the row of mowed down corpses. Rushing now through the undergrowth, but fortunately not pursued, they had, after moments of agonising dread and mounting panic, managed to locate their bicycles and retraced their route out of the copse along the by-lane that led back to the rural outskirts of Islus. The baker's daughter had an Elwnet enabled communications hailer and, as soon as she heard the ping that confirmed she had a signal, she was able to place a call alerting the authorities that 'terrorists' had brought an airship down near the East Elwynn Sluice and murdered the first-responders. <br />
<br />
By now the first garbled reports of the atrocities in Eliria were starting to fly over the Elwnet and this emergency call, combined with the earlier reports of an airship in distress, was sufficient to spark considerable alarm amongst the authorities in Islus.<br />
<br />
==Disaster at Zoroaster==<br />
<br />
Struggling to react to the news of the fall of Islus, the [[Thorgils Tarjeisson|Arandur]] of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]] dispatched his aide, an Alexandrian who rejoiced in the name of Francisco Solano Burnside, to take command of what forces could be gathered in the precinct to halt the advance on Eliria and retake the second city of the Emirate. It did not prove to be an inspired choice.<br />
<br />
The man, described as a 'tsunami of corpulent flesh' with a pear-shaped face and heavy pendulous jowls, was often ridiculed for having lost all semblance of the human form. Moreover, this physically repulsive megalomaniac fancied himself as an expert of military matters and had built his career upon somehow being able to convince his colleagues of this quite improbable fact. He was even known, it was said, to keep one arm inside his jacket to ape the posture of that famous general Lord Montague. At this first conference with the contactable UDF commanders and various paramilitary leaders in a hastily convened 'operations room' in Xahazerke city hall, he was however able to impress upon those gathered there a sense of his determination and confidence. It was a pity for them all that this was a confidence without foundation.<br />
<br />
Islus, he portentously informed them, was the key to control of the [[Elwynn (River)#The White Elwynn|White Elwynn]], without it there could be no victory and Eliria could not be defended. Without hesitation he ordered ''Brigadgeneral'' Mankell to mobilise the 101st Elwynnbrigaden and to take it back. His certitude of victory was reinforced by the flattery of the politically astute ''Kapten'' Eliza Carstens, who now became his foremost accomplice. It is fair to say that she was possessed of a personality almost as dreadful as that of Burnside himself. Indeed it was Carstens, who claimed to be the third cousin of the late ''Conducător'' [[Royston Merrick]], who fed Burnside's vanity, filling his mind with ideas of military greatness. Henceforth she was always at his side urging him onwards and it is widely presumed that she became his mistress after that first evening. <br />
<br />
It was probably at her suggestion that a state banquet and formal ball was organised in Xahazerke, a town that had, in all likelihood, never previously witnessed such a spectacle. Eliza certainly was at the fore when it came to managing the event. All the burghers of the city were instructed, on the pain of deliberately unspecified consequences, to appear in their richest clothes and the ladies to year all their jewels. An oil painting of King Noah was placed upon an empty throne and everyone obediently bowed to his likeness throughout the evening during the six course banquet. No sooner had the orchestra finished its uncertain recital of the National Anthem and struck up the first chords of the first dance, which Francisco's waddling form had the dubious privilege of leading, when a motorcycle courier arrived bringing Burnside news of the 101st's surrender to the coup plotters. Burnside lost what little self-control he normally possessed, shrieking the foulest imaginable curses against the name of Mankell. The Brigadier-General, wisely as it happened, elected not to return with news of his humiliation and instead travelled south to Shirekeep as an honoured prisoner, to make his submission to the Mango Throne. In his absence Mankell's family was subjected to a vindictive and vicious 'writ of cudgelling' instead. In the absence of the normal peacetime rules and procedures, the punishment beating was appallingly brutal and the Brigadier-General's nine-year old son subsequently died from internal bleeding on the brain caused by a fractured skull.<br />
<br />
As for the disaster that overwhelmed the 101st, it proved to be one of the worst humiliations to ever befall the UDF.<br />
<br />
==Repulse at Echo==<br />
<br />
The significant impact of the Battle of Echo was that the Elwynnese forces learned how to use their ground based air-defence assets to neutralise the threat posed by the stealth aircraft and the UCAV swarming tactics of the ISAF. Without close air support the armoured barges of the invasion fleet were ponderous and vulnerable to tank and artillery fire from the shore resulting in their destruction and the failure of the mercenary advance on Eliria.<br />
<br />
==The Pursuit==<br />
[[File:Dromosker Mercenaries.png|250px|thumb|right|<div class="left" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><small>Dromosker mercenaries briefed by Imperialist officers before launching a futile counter attack against pursuing Elwynnese troops. The Dromosker had a reputation for savagery but were ill-equipped, undisciplined and poorly trained. They were deliberately sent to their deaths to cover the retreat of the Shirerithians. </small></div>]]<br />
Forced to turn about, the surviving barges were beached along the western shore of the river in Utasia. The mercenaries, harassed now by detachments of cudgellers and Longship Guards, fought their way southwards through Alalehzamin towards Shirekeep and the perceived safety of Raynor's Keep. In so doing they found themselves ensnared in the bitter communal strife that had erupted in the [[Babkhi]] community between those who wished to cast of the hated yoke of [[Froyalanish]] rule and those who were even more atavistic in their hatred of the ''Sathrati kuffar''.<br />
<br />
Battles developed a crude rhythm; whenever the mercenaries and the Imperialists turned to make an stand and fight, the pursuing Elwynnese scouts would pull back after initial contact and put a call in for artillery support to hold the enemy in place whilst mechanised infantry and armour caught up. These forces would then close in to lay down a suppressing fire upon the Imperialists whilst cudgellers, the Vanic Temple Guards and the Behsaz militia converged on the scene. These forces would be held back while the firefight raged, but once it showed signs of slacking, as ammunition ran low on both sides, the paramilitary elements would be sent swarming forward under the cover of a final fusillade, to try and flush the Imperialists out of their positions, typically a rocky outcrop, a forest plantation, a [[Godsgrove|sacred grove]] or a deserted hamlet, in close-quarter and melee combat. The mercenaries and Imperialists quickly adapted to these tactics, conserving mortar rounds and machine-gun ammunition to enable the repulse of any 'human wave' attacks. Nonetheless, on many occasions it was reduced down to a grim slaughter of bayonet against sword, throwing knife against bow, and sharpened trenching spade against cudgel, before the surviving Imperialists could hack their way clear of the encirclement and continue the wearying yet frantic trudge southwards.<br />
<br />
==Siege of Shirekeep==<br />
[[File:Mud.png|250px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><small>UDF infantry attempting to rescue an Imperial Volunteer from sinking into mud-filled shell crater on the edge of Shirekeep. </small></div>]]<br />
<br />
==Aftermath==<br />
<br />
==Controversy==<br />
<br />
It was said by some that Brrapa VII was conveniently ill at the start of the war and conveniently dead at its end.<br />
<br />
One of the notable aspects of the war, which effectively lasted for two months at most, was the rate at which stockpiles of modern hi-tech guided munitions and missiles were rapidly depleted. The Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces (ISAF) had expended its reserves of cruise missiles within the first week of the conflict and was still trying to acquire and adapt ship launched missiles from the [[Imperial Navy of Shireroth|Imperial Shirerithian Navy]] (which had remained neutral in the conflict) by the time the war ended. Similarly the UDF had been caught short and taken by surprise by the war and was still trying to reactivate the ''[[wikipedia:V2 rocket|Southron Barrage]]'' programme by the war's end. The UDF had also run its stockpiles of medium-range [[wikipedia:Buk missile system#9M317 missile|anti-aircraft missiles]] down to the point of exhaustion during the Battle of Echo. The decision of the Imperialists to hold back their remaining air assets, particularly the UCAVs, after the shocking losses of that engagement proved to be the hinge point that turned what might have been a mere setback into the decisive victory that ensured the survival of the Elwynnese Union and its eventual victory.<br />
<br />
By the final weeks of the war even the supplies of unguided 'dumb' bombs were being run down to the point that the Arandur of Alalehzamin and Utasia was obliged to establish workshops to produce [[wikipedia:Qassam rocket|crude unguided rockets]] in order to keep up the rate of fire on the defenders of Shirekeep and the ISAF was giving serious consideration to adapting its remaining UCAV force to drop [[wikipedia:Barrel bombs|re-purposed canisters packed with high-explosives]]. <br />
<br />
This experience subsequently informed the strategic and operational doctrines of both the UDF and the reformed (i.e. purged) [[Imperial Forces]] in that the technologically sophisticated weapons systems began to be viewed as an exquisitely crafted and expensive blade of tremendous penetrating power that nonetheless blunted quickly through frequent use. For this reason it began to be felt that what was required was a second line of sufficient mass and firepower that would be less sophisticated, and for therefore more affordable, that could get the job done - through blunt object trauma if need be - once the enemy's own, exquisitely wrought, first line of defences had been sufficiently burnt through to provide an opening. <br />
<br />
The desire to test this new theory against a representation of an avowedly unconventional opposing force gave rise to the series of military exercises known as [[Operation Long Haul]] and all the attendant controversies that ensued when neighbouring Minarboria became thoroughly alarmed. <br />

<br />
'''The River War''' was an unsuccessful attempt by hard-line [[Cedrism|Cedrists]] and [[Elwynn|Elwynnese]] ultra-nationalists to mount a quick decapitation strike on the [[King of Elwynn|Monarchy of Elwynn]] which was led by Princess [[Margana Win'Eth|Margana]], the daughter of [[The Kaiser|Kaiser]] [[Brrapa VII]] and sponsored by the patricians of [[Shirekeep]] and the Court within [[Raynor's Keep]].<br />
<br />
In spite of being well resourced and brutally executed, the attempted takeover of Elwynn by a combination of a coup and 'hybrid warfare' failed spectacularly and rebounded upon the heads of the plotters. Not only were they unsuccessful in their efforts to exterminate the [[Royal Family of Elwynn]] but the war ended with the [[Hallbjörn Haraldsson|King's father]] entering Shirekeep as a conqueror.<br />
<br />
==Timeline==<br />
<br />
Reire 9 Vixaslaa, 1623 - The Abdication of the Prince [[Jonathan Ayreon-Kalirion|Jonathan]]. [[Storjarl]] Hallbjörn Haraldsson appointed [[Steward of Elwynn|Steward]] for Prince Thorstein Noah. Courtiers in Shirekeep alarmed. Republicans, Communists, Nationalists & Humanists in Elwynn furious.<br><br />
23 Vixaslaa, 1623 - [[Concordat of Avaldsnes]]. Cedrists outraged at the introduction of 'yet more foreign demons'. Church of Elwynn notably unhappy at the [[White Orchid Temple]] being confirmed in the possession of the priesthood of the [[Froyalanish Ancient Ways]].<br><br />
Amnure 19 Gevrader, 1629 - Prince Noah is elevated to kingship, the first in Elwynn's history and a break with tradition and precedent that infuriates Ayreonists.<br><br />
Izillare 8 Vixaslaa, 1629 - The [[Union Defence Force]] re-established. <br><br />
23 Vixaslaa 1630: Constitution amended to further criminalise discrimination against non-human 'Sentient Beings'. Perceived by Humanists as undermining the Human Supremacy in Elwynn for the benefit of the [[Vanafolk]].<br><br />
Reire 9 Fasmas, 1633 - [[Kaiser Brrapa VII]] ascends the Golden Mango Throne. [[Hallbjörn Haraldsson]] appointed [[Steward|Steward of Shireroth]].<br><br />
Reire 21 Araroqpinu, 1633 - Father Dominus, Master of the Order of the Final Days granted royal patronage to defend the Cedrist Faith. Originally intended to target [[Sighvat the Yardistani]].<br><br />
TBC 1633/1634 - Margana WinEith falls under the influence of Father Dominus.<br><br />
1634 - Margana WinEith engaged to protegee of Father Dominus, Count Delven of Kezan.<br><br />
Early 1635 - The murder of Count Delven by [[Deimos Jasonides]] (why not) after an altercation in a bar. Stricken with grief and rage, counselled by Father Dominus, Margana aligns strongly with the faction in the Imperial Court that advocates a preemptive war against Elwynn before it grows to dominate all of [[Shireroth]].<br><br />
18 Araroqpinu 1635 - al-Zaraqi Cell (Jingdaoese Tegong) organises a medical kidnapping and stages an attempt on the life of heavily pregnant [[Queen Noor]]. Heavy handed response by the security forces results in localised fighting in [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]]. Conspirators take advantage to begin moving assets into Elwynn.<br><br />
24 Araroqpinu, 1635 - Attack on [[Eliria]].<br><br />
Reire 15 Elroqpinu, 1635 - Siege of Shirekeep begins.<br><br />
Izillare 20 Elroqpinu, 1635 - [[UDF]] enters Shirekeep. Death of Brrapa VII. Hallbjörn acclaimed as [[Kaiser Hjalmar]].<br><br />

<br />
==A Coalition of the Desperate and the Damned==<br />
<br />
==The Plan takes Shape==<br />
<br />
==Battle of Eliria==<br />
<br />
At 0730 on [insert date] Bombs detonated along the route of the [[Steward of Elwynn#King's Daily Morning Ride|King's traditional morning procession]]. Mass civilian casualties ensue. Hallbjörn Haraldsson rushed to the scene at the head of a security detail under his personal command to ensure the safety of the [[King Noah of Elwynn|King]] and to extract him from harms way. Gunmen ambush the first-responders arriving at the scene, including Hallbjörn's detachment, killing most and wounding Hallbjörn who is cut off and pursued by a death-squad as a high priority target. In the meantime Noah, although encumbered by ceremonial armour and thrown from his eviscerated horse, had managed to stagger clear of the kill zone, although dazed and bloodied as he did so. He remained however, singularly conspicuous and his attackers quickly set to work trying to bring him down. The King however was not one for yielding. After hacking to death one assailant who foolishly had defied orders and tried to capture him alive, Noah was saved by loyalist civilians who, by acting as human shields, sacrificed their lives buying him time to escape. The King was then rescued by a detachment of [[Fleur de Lys-Longships Guard|Longships Guardsmen]], who delivered him to the police barracks on Cho'Gall Avenue.<br />
<br />
Under the cover of this carnage the plotters launched a devastating surprise attack on [[Eliria]] utilising mercenaries and rebel militants smuggled into the city during the days prior to the attack. Prince Nathaniel International Airport stormed by terrorists disembarking from a specially chartered flight. <br />
<br />
At 0735 the UDF Aerodrome and main depot in Eliria was hit by cruise missile strikes conducted by the Strike Command of the [[Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces]] (ISAF), which however was at that time under the effective Department of Applied Eschatology. The base was bracketed by 8 cruise missiles and 4 "short-range" missiles followed by a conventional bombing run by a stealth bomber and a swarming attack by UCAVs effectively closing down the aerodrome and preventing any UDF aviation assets from providing air support to the security forces in the capital.<br />
<br />
The [[Palace of Krull]] and [[Eliria Castle]] was locked down by the [[Fleur de Lys-Longships Guard|palace guards]] and suicide car bombers where thwarted by a combination of automatically raised steel barriers on the approach roads to the palaces and accurate sniper fire from the turrets and battlements of Eliria Castle. The chaos however meant that both Noah and Hallbjörn were, for the moment, effectively incommunicado, leaving the task of organising a response in the hands of [[Fjǫrleif Hallbjörnsdóttir]] and the slightly improbable character of [[Yumi Zotrasdóttir]].<br />
<br />
Hallbjörn, trapped out on the streets and forced to engage in a battle of wits with his pursuers, began to turn the tables on them by leaving false trails causing the assailants to split up, allowing him to double back and begin to pick them off, one at a time, whittling down their numbers and undermining their morale and resolve at a time when they needed to be brutal and decisive in order to achieve their objectives before the authorities were able to re-establish their command structures and bring overwhelming firepower to bear.<br />
<br />
As noted the principle UDF aerodrome in Eliria was struck at 0735 by air assets under the command of the Department of Applied Eschatology, now however follow up attacks were begun against the more substantial assets then held by the Longships Guard (which at this time was the more formidable of the two armed forces in Elwynn, the UDF still undergoing the slow process of force-regeneration after its re-establishment in 1629). The main strike force of the ISAF, comprised of six Jagdgeschwader of [http://shireroth.org/wiki/images/d/d0/OAH_F8_Shrike.png F8 Shrike] strike aircraft, now entered the fray in a series of devastating sorties split over three successive waves.<br />
<br />
First wave (0745): 11 airfields around Eliria were attacked by 40 ISAF aircraft and 8 radar stations were destroyed by a combination of UCAVs, stealth fighters and attack helicopters. <br />
Second wave (0930): 16 airfields around Ardashirshahr were attacked by 20 ISAF strike aircraft supported by 4 pairs of UAV reconnaissance drones providing continuous overwatch of the target locations as each airfield was it in sequence. <br />
Third Wave (1215): 85 UCAV drone strkes against Eliria, 48 against Ardashirshahr, 67 against Echo and one stealth bomber mission against Krull Palace.<br />
<br />
Although the attack on Eliria failed in its key objective of decapitating the Elwynnese regime in a single blow it must however be considered a considerable success as it knocked out a dozen airfields, destroyed an appreciable number of UDF combat aircraft and seriously degraded the command and control structures of the Elwynnese forces whilst throwing the political system into chaos.<br />
<br />
For the coup plotters and their backers in Shirekeep the next step was to build upon this early success and bring sufficient force to bear in order to crush Elwynn before its forces could rally. At that moment reinforcements, in the shape of 10,000 hired mercenaries pledged to the House of Win'Eth were already on their way north, having set sail from Shirekeep in converted and armoured grain barges during the preceding night. Ahead of this main force, small teams of commandos from sympathetic factions in the Imperial military, were already active in seeking to secure the key points along the [[Elwynn (River)#The White Elwynn|White Elwynn]] that were vital for the voyage of the main force northwards to Eliria. Their first target was Islus.<br />
<br />
==Battle of Islus==<br />
<br />
The strategic importance of Islus for the coup plotters was that it controlled the East Elwynn Sluices which controlled the flow of water on the [[Elwynn (River)#The White Elwynn|White Elwynn]] and served as a barrier to navigation between Shirekeep and Eliria. For the bulk of the mercenary force to continue its journey northwards it would be necessary to secure the sluices.<br />
<br />
The Imperial Volunteer Forces launched their offensive on the same day as the attacks in Eliria unfolded, no pre-raid bombing took place as to avoid damaging infrastructure in and around the sluices and to maintain the element of surprise. Destruction of the East Elwynn Sluice would have had grave results for both sides and the peoples of Elwynn, Goldshire and Shirekeep.<br />
<br />
The strike force disembarked at a landing zone 1.3km north-west of the sluices from a rigid airship disguised as a Ryker blimp that had experienced technical problems and been obliged to make a forced landing just inside Elwynnese territory. A convoy of four ambulances, two fire-engines and a heavy rescue vehicle was dispatched by the Islus Commandery of the Society of St. Harald's Emergency Services (SHES) and swiftly arrived at the scene. The emergency workers were allowed to begin their inspection of the airship before the crew and 'passengers' of the revealed their hostile intent, at which point it was too late and those who tried to radio a warning back to Islus were gunned down in the cabs of their vehicles. In this manner an ambulances and the two fire-engines were rendered inoperable. A total of thirty society members (eighteen male confrères, twelve female consœurs) comprised of ten paramedics, eleven fire fighters and nine rescue specialists, including the twice decorated King's Rescuer, Ahmed Farhan KR, were forcibly detained by the commandos. These prisoners were then led into a nearby copse where they were forced to strip out of their uniforms before being forced to kneel down naked in the dirt. Each one was then executed by being shot once in the base of the skull at point blank range by a semi-automatic weapon. The bodies, subsequently identifiable only from their dental records, were left where they had fallen. The commandos then gathered up the discarded uniforms and returned to the airship where they quickly washed the blood from their hands and faces before selecting who from amongst their number would don the SHES uniforms. Taking the surviving two ambulances and the heavy rescue vehicle, a party of fifteen commandos set off in the direction of the sluice. Taking full advantage of their disguises the raiding party gained access to the perimeter at the west gate, whereupon they were able to surprise and overpower the Emirati Riddare guards before garroting them and leaving behind a party of five men, now changed into those uniforms, to hold the gate for the main party of the strike force, who were advancing on foot. The bodies were dragged out of view and dumped into a janitor's cupboard in the guardroom. <br />
<br />
The remaining ten men took the heavy rescue vehicle and drove round to the pound locks and floodgates of the navigable western channel of the [[Elwynn (River)#The White Elwynn|White Elwynn]]. Holding this would prove crucial to allowing the towed invasion barges to sail north beyond Islus.<br />
<br />
Although it was unbeknown to the attackers at this stage, they had already lost the advantage of surprise. It so happened that, on that morning, a shepherd had taken the local baker's young daughter into that same copse so that they might get to know each other better before returning to their respective chores for the day. As it happened, they had become so thoroughly acquainted that they had fallen into a deep slumber and overslept to the point that the morning was well advanced when they were rudely awoken by a succession of loud gunshots. Crawling through the undergrowth, they were able to observe the raiders departing the scene of the massacre. Pausing only to gather up their clothes, the pair crept through to the edge of the copse where they were able to see the whole scene of armed men stood in front of a vast airship, changing uniforms and taking the three commandeered vehicles and driving off in the direction of the sluices. They also saw a party of eighty heavily armed men in khaki combat fatigues form up and set off on foot in the same direction. This left five men, two in uniforms of the Ryker Airship's corporation and three in civilian clothes of a cut that suggested plain-clothes detectives of the Corps of Gentlemen-at-Cudgels to clean up the crime scene and to deal with any countryside strollers come to gawp at the grounded airship. Appalled at what they had witnessed, the pair doubled back into the dense and tangled foliage of the copse. Their distress was multiplied as, in their hurry they blundered onto the row of mowed down corpses. Rushing now through the undergrowth, but fortunately not pursued, they had, after moments of agonising dread and mounting panic, managed to locate their bicycles and retraced their route out of the copse along the by-lane that led back to the rural outskirts of Islus. The baker's daughter had an Elwnet enabled communications hailer and, as soon as she heard the ping that confirmed she had a signal, she was able to place a call alerting the authorities that 'terrorists' had brought an airship down near the East Elwynn Sluice and murdered the first-responders. <br />
<br />
By now the first garbled reports of the atrocities in Eliria were starting to fly over the Elwnet and this emergency call, combined with the earlier reports of an airship in distress, was sufficient to spark considerable alarm amongst the authorities in Islus.<br />
<br />
==Disaster at Zoroaster==<br />
<br />
Struggling to react to the news of the fall of Islus, the [[Thorgils Tarjeisson|Arandur]] of [[Alalehzamin and Utasia]] dispatched his aide, an Alexandrian who rejoiced in the name of Francisco Solano Burnside, to take command of what forces could be gathered in the precinct to halt the advance on Eliria and retake the second city of the Emirate. It did not prove to be an inspired choice.<br />
<br />
The man, described as a 'tsunami of corpulent flesh' with a pear-shaped face and heavy pendulous jowls, was often ridiculed for having lost all semblance of the human form. Moreover, this physically repulsive megalomaniac fancied himself as an expert of military matters and had built his career upon somehow being able to convince his colleagues of this quite improbable fact. He was even known, it was said, to keep one arm inside his jacket to ape the posture of that famous general Lord Montague. At this first conference with the contactable UDF commanders and various paramilitary leaders in a hastily convened 'operations room' in Xahazerke city hall, he was however able to impress upon those gathered there a sense of his determination and confidence. It was a pity for them all that this was a confidence without foundation.<br />
<br />
Islus, he portentously informed them, was the key to control of the [[Elwynn (River)#The White Elwynn|White Elwynn]], without it there could be no victory and Eliria could not be defended. Without hesitation he ordered ''Brigadgeneral'' Mankell to mobilise the 101st Elwynnbrigaden and to take it back. His certitude of victory was reinforced by the flattery of the politically astute ''Kapten'' Eliza Carstens, who now became his foremost accomplice. It is fair to say that she was possessed of a personality almost as dreadful as that of Burnside himself. Indeed it was Carstens, who claimed to be the third cousin of the late ''Conducător'' [[Royston Merrick]], who fed Burnside's vanity, filling his mind with ideas of military greatness. Henceforth she was always at his side urging him onwards and it is widely presumed that she became his mistress after that first evening. <br />
<br />
It was probably at her suggestion that a state banquet and formal ball was organised in Xahazerke, a town that had, in all likelihood, never previously witnessed such a spectacle. Eliza certainly was at the fore when it came to managing the event. All the burghers of the city were instructed, on the pain of deliberately unspecified consequences, to appear in their richest clothes and the ladies to year all their jewels. An oil painting of King Noah was placed upon an empty throne and everyone obediently bowed to his likeness throughout the evening during the six course banquet. No sooner had the orchestra finished its uncertain recital of the National Anthem and struck up the first chords of the first dance, which Francisco's waddling form had the dubious privilege of leading, when a motorcycle courier arrived bringing Burnside news of the 101st's surrender to the coup plotters. Burnside lost what little self-control he normally possessed, shrieking the foulest imaginable curses against the name of Mankell. The Brigadier-General, wisely as it happened, elected not to return with news of his humiliation and instead travelled south to Shirekeep as an honoured prisoner, to make his submission to the Mango Throne. In his absence Mankell's family was subjected to a vindictive and vicious 'writ of cudgelling' instead. In the absence of the normal peacetime rules and procedures, the punishment beating was appallingly brutal and the Brigadier-General's nine-year old son subsequently died from internal bleeding on the brain caused by a fractured skull.<br />
<br />
As for the disaster that overwhelmed the 101st, it proved to be one of the worst humiliations to ever befall the UDF.<br />
<br />
==Repulse at Echo==<br />
<br />
The significant impact of the Battle of Echo was that the Elwynnese forces learned how to use their ground based air-defence assets to neutralise the threat posed by the stealth aircraft and the UCAV swarming tactics of the ISAF. Without close air support the armoured barges of the invasion fleet were ponderous and vulnerable to tank and artillery fire from the shore resulting in their destruction and the failure of the mercenary advance on Eliria.<br />
<br />
==The Pursuit==<br />
<br />
Forced to turn about, the surviving barges were beached along the western shore of the river in Utasia. The mercenaries, harassed now by detachments of cudgellers and Longship Guards, fought their way southwards through Alalehzamin towards Shirekeep and the perceived safety of Raynor's Keep. In so doing they found themselves ensnared in the bitter communal strife that had erupted in the [[Babkhi]] community between those who wished to cast of the hated yoke of [[Froyalanish]] rule and those who were even more atavistic in their hatred of the ''Sathrati kuffar''.<br />
<br />
Battles developed a crude rhythm; whenever the mercenaries and the Imperialists turned to make an stand and fight, the pursuing Elwynnese scouts would pull back after initial contact and put a call in for artillery support to hold the enemy in place whilst mechanised infantry and armour caught up. These forces would then close in to lay down a suppressing fire upon the Imperialists whilst cudgellers, the Vanic Temple Guards and the Behsaz militia converged on the scene. These forces would be held back while the firefight raged, but once it showed signs of slacking, as ammunition ran low on both sides, the paramilitary elements would be sent swarming forward under the cover of a final fusillade, to try and flush the Imperialists out of their positions, typically a rocky outcrop, a forest plantation, a [[Godsgrove|sacred grove]] or a deserted hamlet, in close-quarter and melee combat. The mercenaries and Imperialists quickly adapted to these tactics, conserving mortar rounds and machine-gun ammunition to enable the repulse of any 'human wave' attacks. Nonetheless, on many occasions it was reduced down to a grim slaughter of bayonet against sword, throwing knife against bow, and sharpened trenching spade against cudgel, before the surviving Imperialists could hack their way clear of the encirclement and continue the wearying yet frantic trudge southwards.<br />
<br />
==Siege of Shirekeep==<br />
[[File:Mud.png|250px|thumb|right|<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><small>UDF infantry attempting to rescue an Imperial Volunteer from sinking into mud-filled shell crater on the edge of Shirekeep. </small></div>]]<br />
<br />
==Aftermath==<br />
<br />
==Controversy==<br />
<br />
It was said by some that Brrapa VII was conveniently ill at the start of the war and conveniently dead at its end.<br />
<br />
One of the notable aspects of the war, which effectively lasted for two months at most, was the rate at which stockpiles of modern hi-tech guided munitions and missiles were rapidly depleted. The Imperial Shirerithian Air Forces (ISAF) had expended its reserves of cruise missiles within the first week of the conflict and was still trying to acquire and adapt ship launched missiles from the [[Imperial Navy of Shireroth|Imperial Shirerithian Navy]] (which had remained neutral in the conflict) by the time the war ended. Similarly the UDF had been caught short and taken by surprise by the war and was still trying to reactivate the ''[[wikipedia:V2 rocket|Southron Barrage]]'' programme by the war's end. The UDF had also run its stockpiles of medium-range [[wikipedia:Buk missile system#9M317 missile|anti-aircraft missiles]] down to the point of exhaustion during the Battle of Echo. The decision of the Imperialists to hold back their remaining air assets, particularly the UCAVs, after the shocking losses of that engagement proved to be the hinge point that turned what might have been a mere setback into the decisive victory that ensured the survival of the Elwynnese Union and its eventual victory.<br />
<br />
By the final weeks of the war even the supplies of unguided 'dumb' bombs were being run down to the point that the Arandur of Alalehzamin and Utasia was obliged to establish workshops to produce [[wikipedia:Qassam rocket|crude unguided rockets]] in order to keep up the rate of fire on the defenders of Shirekeep and the ISAF was giving serious consideration to adapting its remaining UCAV force to drop [[wikipedia:Barrel bombs|re-purposed canisters packed with high-explosives]]. <br />
<br />
This experience subsequently informed the strategic and operational doctrines of both the UDF and the reformed (i.e. purged) [[Imperial Forces]] in that the technologically sophisticated weapons systems began to be viewed as an exquisitely crafted and expensive blade of tremendous penetrating power that nonetheless blunted quickly through frequent use. For this reason it began to be felt that what was required was a second line of sufficient mass and firepower that would be less sophisticated, and for therefore more affordable, that could get the job done - through blunt object trauma if need be - once the enemy's own, exquisitely wrought, first line of defences had been sufficiently burnt through to provide an opening. <br />
<br />
The desire to test this new theory against a representation of an avowedly unconventional opposing force gave rise to the series of military exercises known as [[Operation Long Haul]] and all the attendant controversies that ensued when neighbouring Minarboria became thoroughly alarmed. <br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Shrine of the Wicked Garden''' is one of the [[Thirteen Temples of Eluin]], the senior temples of the [[Froyalanish Ancient Ways]]. It is situated in the [[Amokolia|Amokolian]] city called La Terre. It is one of the oldest Vanic temples in the [[Elwynn|Elwynnese Union]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The temple was founded in times ancient beyond the memory of [[Vanakvinna|woman]] by native [[Vattnaland|Vattnalanders]] who belonged to the [[Vanafolk]] and was originally decicated to [[Freyja]] alone. At the time the name of the temple was '''Freyushof í La Terre''' ("Freyja's temple in La Terre"). <br />
<br />
It gained its present name when the Ocian Governor of Amokolia, who was awed by the beauty of the temple and its surroundings, but appalled by the [[Loftklæddir|nude]] worship as well as the orgies and other [[Elgisiðir|love play]] taking place in and around the temple's [[Godsgrove]] and [[Worship Water|Worship Waters]], described it as a ''"gorgeous shrine in a wicked garden"''. When the High Priestess of the Freyushof í La Terre learned about the governor's remark she laughed so hard that she almost forgot her dignity, and subsequently decreed, after the [[Amokolian War|liberation of Amokolia]], that from that henceforth the temple would be known as the '''Shrine of the Wicked Garden''', which has been the temple's name ever since.<br />
<br />
Subsequently to the annexation of [[Amokolia]] by Elwynn in the year 1572, the High Priestess of the Shrine of the Wicked Garden was invited to join the [[Hjartardýrlafðir]], the matriarchal council of [[Froyalanish Vanic Priestess|High Priessteses]] which governs the [[Froyalanish Ancient Ways]]; she immediately and gracefully accepted.<br />

The '''Imperial Army''' is the principal land warfare force of the [[Main Page|Imperial Republic of Shireroth]]. The force is administered by the [[Ministry of Military Affairs]]. The professional head of the Imperial Army is the '''Magister Primum''', who is head of the '''Collegium Magistri Militum''' or ''[[College of the Magisters]]'' (<small>i.e. the [[wikipedia:General staff|General Staff]]</small>).<br />
<br />
=Formation and Structure=<br />
<br />
The structure of the Imperial Army is relatively streamlined into administrative divisions and operational legions. A legion will have at least three core regiments that pertain to its mission function as well as any additional squadrons or troops required to perform operationally. A legion on operations therefore is the beating heart of a [[wikipedia:battlegroup_(Army)|battle group]], known as a [[wikipedia:vexillatio|vexillatio]].<br />
<br />
Legions may be transferred into and out of territorial Divisions<br />
<br />
==Structure of Units==<br />
The most typical variety of Imperial Army units are structured as follows:<br><br><br />

By a minor historical quirk, the Kaiser's personal bodyguard, the [[Order of Kampioens|Kampioen Guards]], was for a time placed under the command of the Imperial Navy. After the re-establishment of the Imperial Army, the Kampioen Guards were re-brigaded into the Old Guard as part of the Palatini Corps of the Imperial Army. <br />
<br><br />
The Kampioens were supplanted in their role by the Order of the Sentinels, which reported to the Kaiser directly and sat entirely outside the structure of the Imperial Forces.<br />

==Comitatus (Field) Army==<br />

The '''comitatenses''' comprised the field army of the Imperial Republic, capable of dispatch to conduct fully mobile, mechanised and expeditionary warfare, in contrast to the primarily defensive frontier troops. <br />

=Recruitment and Training=<br />
<br />
The Imperial Army recruits exclusively from [[Shirekeep]] and the [[Subdivision#Imperial Dominions|Imperial Dominions]] as well as any territory that they might temporarily occupy, such as Goldshire during the period of [[Martial Law in Goldshire|martial law]].<br />
<br />
Recruitment can include the taking in of volunteers, but also frequently relies upon forms of impressment, notably the [[Impressment Service|Press-Gang]]. This Press-Gang, also known as the Impressment Service operated on a large scale with a force of men in likely river ports and towns in the [[Imperial County]] and [[Mishalan]]. These men were armed and possessed "warrants" from the [[MoMA]] for their operations. Their "catches" were conveyed to Receiving Ships in the midstream of the Blue and White branches of the [[Elwynn (River)|Elwynn]] which then, when their cargo holds are full, take their "haul" downriver and out to sea - eventually depositing them on the island of [[Zy-Rodun]] for personality adjustment, indoctrination and basic training. <br />

<br />
The '''Imperial Army''' is the principal land warfare force of the [[Main Page|Imperial Republic of Shireroth]]. The force is administered by the [[Ministry of Military Affairs]]. The professional head of the Imperial Army is the '''Magister Primum''', who is head of the '''Collegium Magistri Militum''' or ''[[College of the Magisters]]'' (<small>i.e. the [[wikipedia:General staff|General Staff]]</small>).<br />
<br />
=Formation and Structure=<br />
<br />
The structure of the Imperial Army is relatively streamlined into administrative divisions and operational legions. A legion will have at least three core regiments that pertain to its mission function as well as any additional squadrons or troops required to perform operationally. A legion on operations therefore is the beating heart of a [[wikipedia:battlegroup_(Army)|battle group]], known as a [[wikipedia:vexillatio|vexillatio]].<br />
<br />
Legions may be transferred into and out of territorial Divisions<br />
<br />
==Structure of Units==<br />
The most typical variety of Imperial Army units are structured as follows:<br><br><br />
