                                                                     The Colony: A History

                                                         ====Chapter One: The Beginning====

In the following months, High Kings Kale and Stuebenus were able to rally several local lords to their cause. These new-found vassals helped to increase The Colony's claims to the land. However, it was foreign diplomacy that truly cemented their legitimacy with royalty in other territories. A chance encounter with a diplomatic envoy enabled King Stuebenus to initiate dialog with another kingdom: Havoc Unleashed. Using this open door, King Kale was able to negotiate first a Non-Aggression Pact and finally a Confederation with King Johnny.

Using this happy occasion, Kale and Stuebenus began an aggressive policy of military and industrial build up, to ensure that they could protect their lands in a defensive campaign. To this end, King Kale appointed his sister, Laura, to the newly created post of Knight-General. Under her tactical and strategic prowess, knights of The Colony began to train en masse.

But it was the shadowy figure of Lunaire, an Elvish fugitive and assassin, who provided the Colony with its knowledge of potential threats and conquests. Her spies were able to penetrate the deepest levels of their target's secret dealings. This information would be useful in the coming months.

Thus ends the first chapter of The Colony. But there are many, many more.

                                                           =====Chapter Two: Shadows of War=====

The idyllic days of peaceful building and expansion soon came to an end. Answering the call for aid of a fellow King, Kale and Stuebenus sent messengers to the Colony's vassals. A levy was raised, and soon tens of thousands of troops began to march upon the cities of a vile traitor to their friends. A mighty siege was thrown against its walls. Guile and magic were used, in equal measure, to complement the host of besiegers. Crops withered in the fields, and livestock fell to hordes of ravenous locusts. Starvation racked the city and all that remained was the final assault.

But the traitor was not finished. Several, desperate, waves of soldiers threw themselves upon the spears of the Colony. Beating back the foe time and again, the Colony and its allies stood triumphant. And when the dust settled, and the last catapult had thrown its final stone, nothing remained. This was the Colony's first military campaign. Success had emboldened them, allowing for further military buildup. There would always be another enemy. And the Colony would be ready."
