It had been building up for awhile....then it exploded in a surge of violence. Southern Tanthan, ruled by a cruel and heartless tyrantical leader had forced the capture of Switzerland and Slovenia without the other four tribes support or knowledge. This caused the four to group together to expel Southern Tanthan and its people which comprised of 60% of the population of Tanthan. Having supieror numbers, technology, and weapons the South threatened the four leaders of the tribes to unify under him as a leader of all Tanthan and its newly acquired lands.

The four shouted protests and attacked the South Tanthan this morning. Fires rage and the soldiers from the legion which stormed in at a blinding pace on horseback were cut-down instanteously as a hail of somewhere around five million arrows rained from the heaven's. The sheer number of arrows were more abundant then raindrops in the heaviest of downfalls. Yet they did not stop. As the troops hurried forward, being cut down in the process as they reached the first of many fortresses in Southern Tanthan a area of around ten acres suddenly gave way under the troops, Southern Tanthan instantly erradictated the first legion with absolutely no losses and revealing advanced traps and huge numbers of ranged weapons and sheer might.

This is a key political, militaristic, economic, social and live-style change in Tanthan's history, the pacifistic northern tribes vs the powerhouse south. the four northern tribes of Tanthan has sent messages to the nearby nations for help. However the South is heavily dug in, with literally a million hardcore civilians and soldiers working to prepare to quickly destroy the north and end civil unrest once and for all.

They have dispatched 3 Legions to attack the from the south in a three-pronged attack, flanking the South Tanthan troops that are already engaged to the north. They will Seige City after City until the South Surrenders.

A note to all helping forces:
This is a real battle against a DANGEROUS enemy, 1/12th of the northern forces fell trying to take over a town, if you wish to send them by all means prepare to face a huge military and more traps then the USA encountered in Vietnam. I will post a map of possible defenses and known defenses.

Arriving in Northern Tanthan, around the modern-day town of Eisenstadt, General Gotha Havel, a Czech Gothic legionnaire, led his men carfully into the wild mountains of Austria. The swordsmen trekked carefully, and the Huns, masters at archery on horse, were dismounted, thier horse moving carfully in a guarded train.

Havel, in total had 1,000 Gothic Legionaires and 1,000 Huns, plus 500 Ballistae and 24 siege towers. A small expeditionary force, but the Khan was nervous. The mountains were not easy to navigate, and the men were forced to rely on local guides to find suitable paths.

Havel moved slowly, and then, a snap. He screamed, "Get down!"
