Jute: Blue, Angle: green, Frank: yellow, Saxon: red, Hill peoples: grey
The kingdom of the Jutes has fallen to the Republic of Heel prompting hundreds of thousands of Jutes to flee east into the lands of the Angles sparking instability in the Kingdom, the Saxons smelling blood have rallied behind war-chief Widukind and launched an invasion across the Rhine. King Wermund has sent a desperate plea for support to the Republic. The Saxons meanwhile have sent an envoy to WTC seeking support.

A random bureaucrat read through letters on his desk, seeing that the Kingdom of the Jutes had offered total and utter surrender to their nation, he found this odd seeing as the Republic of Sheen was not at war with the Jutes, but instead that of the Republic of Heel. He therefore turned the letter into a paper glider and spent the rest of the day organising a paper glider contest.

As the messenger arrives at the Main where construction of a bridge is already in progress he gets intercepted by Heel guards who deliver his message through the command chain up to Vice Chancellor Draconis. He in turn sends an small military force of 5 thousand man across the by now rudimentary build bridge. And with that heel forces crossed the Main.

The Saxon nobleman Theodoric strode across the Great Bridge of Hengist and approached the dual forts placed on both sides of the bridge. seeing the well dressed nobleman approach a tholish guards blocked his way, "Halt and state your business here." "I Theodric have come bearing a message to the Great Tholish king and request it be relayed to him immediately." And so the message was relayed by telegram to the royal palace with a reply commanding a force of ten thousand men be sent north arriving soon after. Preparations for the expedition begin...

As the Heel forces meet with the angels they find them in an state of celebration. The
Saxons have been pushed behind the Reihn and encircled. The celebration goes silent as the Troops march into the war camp, artillery positioned outside in case of hostilities. The Colonel of the recently established Mainland brigade steps forward to speak with the Warlord. "I, Colonel of the Mainland Brigade have been sent here by the Vice Chancellor of the Glorious Heel Republic to the West to follow an call for help. I demand to see the Warlord of the Angels immediately, do not refuse me or you will loose your advantage over the saxons in less than a week.

Godwin van der Berg and his men sailed north through the Rhine up to a hill a few miles north of the Angle forces trapping the southern Saxon army. After sending messengers up the Rhine to coordinate a breakout the Tholish forces prepare for a bloody fight.

Sensing a strong opportunity to profit from the ongoing troubles and weaken the lesser tribes, the Raikhsharjis began organising large over-mountain caravans of guns, drugs, clothes, and other war-making materials. They were not going to support one tribe over the other, oh no, they were there to turn a profit and intensify the conflict. As one such caravan made its way through the lower mountains and came upon a Frankish village, they stopped and began offering the locals free samples and guns.
After all, they could not make their own bullets and they would be needing spare parts to repair them, so why not give the guns away for free when meeting with new customers? 'Buy two guns, get a box of bullets free!', 'Bombs, shells, grenades, and more, all here and ready for use!', 'Baby powder, get your baby powder!', and many other cries could be heard as the caravan set up some impromptu stalls. Else where in Saxon and Angle villages and forts, similar scenes could be seen happening.

You will gain unlimited Heelish Military and economic support as well as an castle surrounded by rich farm lands for your Dynasty until the end of the Republic. Cause the tides of the war will change once the Saxons get their Military support from the WTC.

We will supply you the necessary economic aid and machinery that can do ten times the work of a single slave. We can transition the Human sacrifice out slowly but it will have to go if you ever hope on getting any of our support. This is your last chance. |

What actions would be required to placate your gods? And wouldn't it be possible to simply sacrifice animals instead of people?

It would be possible I reckon the construction of fifteen temples and a yearly state sacrifice of chattel say a hundred fine oxen and twenty bulls should appease the gods. |

The night is spend drinking and talking with everyone having a good time away from the front.
