Beyond the Pit [Pitboss Diplomacy Game] [Story Thread]
Word arrived back in the palace. The second scout expedtion had arrived in death Valley. A memorial for the original scouts was put up. They swore an oath to the Great One and moved on.
And so the second Holy place of Oldonia was created.
The growth of the Piercian Empire had started. It was a day of great honor, and Asiz was sent to watch over the new town which was named after him : Asizia. In the middle of the jungle, upstream of the River Esther, but still with access to the sea, it had the pierced mountains to the north. A perfect position for pushing back any intruders.
In the mean time, Pierced Hill had grown, and displayed the power of the Piercans. It was their pride, a jewel watching over the Coast of Spines. The efforts for security were rewarded, and now almost every women of the city was able to wield the bow. Any ennemy could come now, and be crushed by the piercian art of war. They were ready to face whatever was to come out of the unknown regions in the east or the west.
Empress Iris gave a great honor to Asiz by naming him regent of the new settlement. He already had shown himself a worthy member of Her people. But he was still young, and She trusted him for earning even more honor in the future. Only the spirits knew what the future reserved for this man.
The Oldonian Civil war continued into its 2nd century of fighting. It was a war grounded in belief systems. The battlefield was covered in blood of both sides.
One day during a lull in fighting, young Cassandra was out in the fields gasthering corn for the day with her friends. They were almost done for the day when a horde of lions approached. The girls screamed and ran in all directions. Cassandra tripped and fell, she was left alone.
She prayed to the Great One to save her but knew it was soon to be her time. She closed her eyesd and braced herself for the attack.
Suddnely she was grasped and picked up. She found herself beign carried fast away from the field.
She opene dher eyes and saw a young Raz warrior carrying her. She had been told stories of the ferocity of the Razites. They were animals. She screamed for the second time that day and again prayed for salvation.
The warrior placed her gently on the ground outside her city gate. He looked longinly at her for she was a stunner, then he turned and ran back to the field to finish of the lions.
Cassandras father the council leader in the Palace found her there and gathered her into his arms.
That evening after hearing of her story, he stood and looked out over the fields. He had been told be the leaders before him that Razites would rape and kill all of their women, they were not to be trusted. But now this warrior had saved his only daughter. This did not make sense to him.
The population rate at the capital city of the Celtic empire was booming and many of the inhabitants were seeking areas to live. Several of the inhabitants began spreading across the grasslands to work the farms and settle in cottages about the city. But still, the citizens felt cramped. The murmurs and chatter grew and grew until Brennus was forced to squelch the dissension. Celtic scouts had discovered another region on the coastline ripe with food. Anyone wishing to settle in this new area with support of King Brennus was encouraged to join the caravan. Celtic warriors accompanied the new settlers as they look to begin a new life.
It is morning now as the Jin makes port on the beach of the main land. Kessen could only think of his people and how desperately they needed help. He ordered the Jin to go and explore the previously unexplored seas and in a yr come back to this place to pick him up. So the captain sailed north while Kessen’s group traveled south. Almost as fast as the Jin pulled away a group of large hungry lions suddenly appeared, Kessen had heard of this beast before as a child. They tried to go around the lions but the lions followed. Kessen didn’t have time to waist so he told the other two ninja to stay behind while he killed the lions. He jumped down out of the tree; as he did the lions began to surround him. He took in a deep breath moved slightly and the lions just dropped. The two ninja were amazed to see the god like speed of Kessen. The three then began moving south to try and find the help they came looking for.
Mean while back in Kyoto Lord Zanza was approached by a ninja from the hidden sound village. The sound ninja were known as evil ninja who killed innocent people just to gain more power. He told Lord Zanza his village would help him if he would send his army to the east and kill everyone in the Village hidden in the sand. Zanza agreed and sent some units to go kill the sand ninja. While walking through the jungle the army ran into a young girl sitting under a tree. The girl looked to be only 12yrs old with long black hair and a headband. The Zanza guards walked closed to the girl and saw that the headband she had on had some markings. The marking were that of the sand village. She was a ninja but she was alone which frightened the army. Ninja never travel alone always in squads of three sometimes four. The girl suddenly stood up and told the army leader that he was going to be the only one to live and his army would die. Then the other two appeared behind the army; all three ninja cut their finders and made a cross on the opposite hand. They made the following hand seals: Boar, dog, monkey, bird, and sheep. This was a special ninja art that summoned living creature to aid the ninja. It was rare to see such young ninja using such advanced techniques. They each touched the ground and a panther appeared. The panthers were bigger then they were and with a swing from each panther the army was completely killed only the leader was left alive to tell Lord Zanza what happened.

It has been brought to my attention that my one of our warriors who was scouting the far northwest region of this great land has ran across the Oldonian people!
I wish to extend a warm welcome to our newest northwest neighbors.
Empress Iris of Piercia will be interested in finding out that our two empires are not the only empires on this great continent.
Here is to a start of a friendly and fruitful relationship between our three great empires!
The councio was in uproar. The suggestion that the Razites could be kind and gentle was agaisnt all their beliefs. For centuries they had warred agaisnt them and now the council chiefs own daughter had been rescued by one of them.
Finalyl after much discusiion they decided to send a contact to the Razites for discusion, perhaps they were wrong about each other.
Two weeks later the Razite council met with the Oldonian council. guards patrolled outside suspiciously eyeing each other.
The warrior who had rescued Cassandra was interigated by both councils before finally sense and reason was found.
"Search the old archives for the truth" came the call
and so the slaves were sent to go through the dusty chambers under the palace. Going through the old records of pictures.
There they discovered the truth. Both councils realised they did truly follow the One God. His name was Raz! The Great One on the Great Mountain had told Roger Wilco centuries ago his name, Roger had drawn it on the first silvery metal refined from the mountain. There it was for all to see but yet forgotten.
Whilst searching the archives, they also discovered records of contact with other humans. The Natives they were called. How had this slipped from their memories. and the Wyandots had told the ancients about another tribe, the Pierced ones.
Both councils resolved that the Oldonians for too long had been inwardly focused. This must all change.
A messanger bird was summoned and sent to the scouts to the East.
The note read :
"With all haste , find the Natives and the Pierced ones. The Great One from the Holy Mountain has enlightened us to the fact he has made other people apart from our selves. We must beg their forgiveness for not maintaining communications over the centuries"
Lord Zanza receive the news of his army’s loss to only three ninja. His blood began to boil and his eyes filled with rage. Zanza hated to loss and was as ruthless to his own men as he was to those thousands of innocent civilians he hung. He called his guard to take the leader away and hang him in front of his army so they would know what would happen to them if they failed him again. The men saw this and their hearts grew cold as they began to wonder why they follow such a mad man yet none spoke out in fear of being killed themselves. So they watched as Lord Zanza himself sawed the head of the lifeless leader.
Lord Zanza then looked at them his face drenched in blood and smiled as if the blood of the dead leader aroused him. No one was safe from this murderer who wanted nothing but to bathe in the blood of every man, woman, and child in the world.
In the land east of mount Fuji in the middle of the dessert land the shadow council convened. It had been many years since the last time the coucil was called upon each representing their ninja nations. The 5 SS rank Jonin where called to decide what they would do to help the capital of Kyoto. They had wanted to help the people of Kyoto for a long time but feared that if they came out of hiding that they too would share in the fait of the Kyoto citizens. They knew that sending military forces to Kyoto would be suicide, the best they could so was take a small group out. The sand village offered to take them in though they knew that to do so they would have to come out of hiding. So it was decided that in 12 days time a squad of sand ninja were to go out and escort the small group of villagers to safety.

The Holy Romans are strong and truly metal-clad. I witnessed a unit of axmen who I believe was venturing to the north and east. Tell the Khmer that if they assist us in securing the return of our enslaved party of workers that we will help them enslave and keep Holy Roman workers as payment.
