Game

Year 1 

Welcome to Swords, Banners and Rifles. It has been on year since the collapse of the Empire of Kalikar-Uzaahn, which controlled the vast lands of Terra Nova. The former empire has now split into numerous Republics, Principalities, Warlord States, and Nomadic Hordes. These nations are now fighting for control, with the Grand Aryssinian Coalition, located in the Terra Glacies, launching an invasion of Magna Insula to establish a new, more powerful empire... 

Breitland & Karmia begins a build up of defensive walls against the Aryssinian Fleet

Other Nations in Magna Insula also begin fortifying their defenses against the Aryssinian Empire

The Republic of Yahkost falls to Aryssinian forces

The Republics of Czarina, Templeton, Yggdrasil and Asgard surrender to the Aryssinians

• State of Tzo: 
• Breitland: Emperor Erik enters the sixth year of his rule. His brother Arzhur is sent around the empire to hire ships and men to prepare for war with Aryssinia. Meanwhile, the Emperor personally travels to the Empire of Insula, asking Breitland's historic enemy to join with them in defense against Aryssinia. At home, the Lex Insula Defensis (E6.6) is passed by the Great Council, enabling Lord High Admiral Ranulf Styrgersson to sail to Yggdrasil and Asgard to recapture the islands. The Grand Poobah of the Temple of Ar-Mondas the war god officially gives the blessing for Breitland to go to the war.
  • ​Karmia: In Karmia, Viceroy Ivan calls the banners and marches with the army to the north to prepare for war. Prince Conrad Meriadoc arrives with Breiton reinforcements and Karmian Rear Admiral Tyr Magnusson places the fleet in a defensive position. At the Titonian Wall, Lord Commander Varys Grubersson doubles the number of men guarding the central fort.
