OOC: The only people who are allowed to rp here will be members of the GIA, allies of my nation, nations where their royal families have a blood tie into mine, or people whom I invite and all others will be simply ignored by me. This is just the beginning of a longer war and also to note if you really want to join you may TG me in order to ask permission to join.
IC: In the peninsula of Terrom the Parliamentary party called Norse First meet in the capital of that region. There they signed a document with 515 signatures of their entire was delivered to the other 485 members of Parliament, the House of Lords, and to the Emperor.
The document read:
We the people of the Scandinvan Empire in an attempt to preserve the unity and power of our people have now declared the abolition of the Imperial regime, the exile of Emperor Olaf IV and the whole of the Imperial family, the demand that all nobles submit themselves to be processed, that all non-Europeans register themselves at the local police stations, the disbanding of the House of Lords, the order for all non Norse First Parliament members to leave the nation of face execution, that all Imperial Legions pledge allegiance to the Norse First party, and the establishment of the Norse State of the Scandinvans.
Signed,
The 515 Guardians of the Norse
As the letter was delivered to the Parliment meeting in Valdra the officals began to curse the names of the rebels and called them traitors to the Empire and called for the blood of the leaders of the rebellion. To further this they gave the Emperor the right to do whatever it takes to put down the insurection and to do what is needed in the name of the Empire. As well, the Parliment formerly declared the 515 rebel members traitors and that they no longer had the power to act as members of Parliment. Beyond this the Empire has locked down all foreign entry from entering the Empire, except diplomatic groups which may still come and go as they please.
Yet, the Imperial populace quickly saw the traitors and throughout the nation they began to revolt as they demanded that the document be receded and that the Norse First members surrender to the Imperial Regime. In response the Parliament sent in Norse First militias to put down the revolts that had emerged throughout the Empire. At the same time only a third of the Imperial Army joined the Norse First rebellion with only minute amounts of Imperial Air Force and Imperial Navy joined. As such the Imperial Armed Forces quickly rallied to begin fighting the insurrection where it began, in the region of Terrom.
There the Norse First had seized control of the interior and had set up a strong defensive force with about two million regulars, one and a half million trained militia, and well over three million additional forces composed of armed people with weapons ranging from M-16s, to rocket launchers, and standard rifles. These forces were up against three million Imperial Regulars that had been deployed in response to the rebellion and now sought to push the rebellion where it started.

OOC: As an ally with your nation, I would love to get involved in this somehow, especially as my nations evolve into the Empire of Nordland. What are the aims politically and spiritually of the Norse First rebellion, and would you be willing to accept financial and military support from our local militias?

Terrom Southwestern Front
In the large port city of Hainborugh the Imperial Legions MMD-MMDXXX, with a force of 150,000 soldiers and a large array of attack vechiles and artilley as they battled the Norse First brigades in the cities as they fought to drive them out of the most important port city in the whole of Terrom and whoever controlled it would control the flow of supplies on the water channels into the central mountains.
Legion MMDXVI
Major Heiolod looked upon the burning city and looked to his and saw one of his best and closest men take a shoot directly in the head from an enemy sniper. Yet, he stood unfased as he had been in countless wars in the name of the Emperor and had for so long seen men die for the glory of their Empire. As well, he had slain countless persons in order to preserve the unity of the Empire which was now only held together by the people's loyalty to the Emperors whom were widely revered as the men who had created the peace and prosperity of the Scandinvan Empire, which in fact they did as for thousands of years the Emperors had ruled as good and fair rulers.
Yet, in this war he knew that the Empire's unity was threatened by the racism and treachery of the Norse First party threatened the unity of the Scandinvan Empire which spanned across thousands of lands that had been conquered in centuries past. As he though a large explosion rang throughout the city.
Diving down to behind the barricade set up by the rebels and took up his gun and fired at the attacking enemy militia. He then signalled to five of his men who advanced upon the enemy, but a bomb rang off bringing down four men as the other was able to hide behind some ruins from a building. After the attack an artillery strike hit the building with the enemies inside all being killled instantly.
Seeing the building fall he let his men branch out and in order to recover the dead who numbered nine and a further four were wounded. Seing the dead he let a small tear fall from his eyes, but quickly turned his eyes without any emotion in them and then ordered his men into defensive postions in a nearby building with reports on an enemy offensive coming in from the southwest part of the urban area.

As well, this is more of a rebellion against the Emperor as they want to establish power for themselves. As for the support for financial will be acceptable and for military that will be a lot harder due to the navy being made up nearly entirely of loyalists.

IC: The Norse First group in the hopes of corcecing the Catholic population into a state of fear launched an attack upon the Catholic Churches in the cities of Terrom. The attacks occured at 42 Churches and resutled in 393 deaths and about six hundred dead. As a result the Catholic Patriarch has declared the the militia members of Norse First to be exiled from the Church and that they were now officaly traitors to their Scandinvan Catholic fellows and now could be fully opposed in every way and that it was the duty of Scandinvan Catholics to oppose the rule of Norse First.
As such the Norse First have declared their own Patriarch from their clergy supporters and that it was time to end the rule of the current Patriarch who has been declared a traitor to the Scandinvan people and culture. These assualts have laid a division in the hearts of the militia members of Norse First who now fear for their souls, but in the time being the fighting is still as normal and is expected to remain the same for the next couple of months.

Terrom Southwestern Front
Lt. Johnson saw as the militia charge blindly into the lines of the vetern soldiers of the Imperial MMDXV, he then yelled out," You fools get back into line!"
Yet, by the time he said this eleven militia men had fallen to enemy fire, quickly he put the signal to his men to fall back to the building behind them. When they began to fall back the building behind them suddenly fell in from an artillery shell which caused it to collaspe in the middle of the street which precented their retreat following the road. As the building crashed down a Crusader King and two armored vechiles approached and released a heavy amount of fire on the rebels. The bullets and cannons quickly killed most of the militia and a good part of the regulars.
Seeing this Lt. Johnson ordered a retreat into the alley ways in order to avoid being all killed by Imperial loyalists. As they retreated deep into the alley ways where they were able to find a basment to act a safe haven for the time being. With a safe place to hide, for the time being, the rebels unpacked their supplies and nurse the wounded who had managed to fall back. In totat 91 men had been killed, with only 26 remaining and another nine had fled, but were badly wounded.

“We are just barely able to keep a lid on it as things are, Mr. President. The Catholics are going nuts over this. I honestly don’t know how long we can keep this under control.” said Brace Krugler, the tpfian Interior Minister.
The President leaned back thoughtfully. Newly elected, and being in office for just under a month, this would be one of the defining moments of his presidency thus far. Senate elections were due in a few months, and there were also political considerations to consider. The President was leader of the Unity Party, framers of the political Reformation. There power was firm but fragile. If they stumbled, all the work of the Reformation would be lost, and TPF would plunge back into the political chaos of before.
“Brace, you know as well as I do that I was elected on a primarily pacifist ticket. I promised no war unless completely necessary.”
“Sir, I don’t honestly think they care about what you were elected for. All they know was that hundreds of their spiritual brothers were killed and they think it will continue and cost even more blood. Frankly, they’ll go even without your approval, and they can.”
“Where will they get the funds from?” As he said it, President James Hurst realized it had been stupid to ask.
“From the Catholic Church. It may not be a declared crusade, but it might as well be one for all intents and purposes.”
“Alright, what do you suggest we do?”
Captain Matt Elroy watched as his men boarded the transports. The government had been kind to them. Kinder than Elroy had expected. While they didn’t support this mini-crusade, they provided training and surplus equipment. It would be enough, and considering that hundreds of thousands of Catholics had already left their jobs and their families and joined God’s Army, which was the unofficial name of the group. However, Elroy himself was worried about the state of this army. He didn’t know how well it would perform against true enemy forces, but he had a sinking feeling in his gut that it wouldn’t do well. Considering that the men, at best, had rudimentary training. Heck, they didn’t even have any heavy tanks or anything of the sort. Matt had a feeling they would rely heavily on the Navy’s air support, along with imperial forces. Along with that, they had a smattering of real TPFian officers, who would as advisors. In the mere two weeks they had had to prepare, they had trained the men the best they could, but Elroy knew they were worried. As he boarded the ship, Elroy crossed himself and prayed for the best.

Though the comamander Erida did desire to meet the commander of the Cursaders as such he left instructions for the local commanders to meet with the Crusader leaders.

General Octavius belonged to the one of the oldest TPFian families. He could trace his family line back many years and even had an ancestor that fought as a general in one of the crusades. He was proud of his family's Catholic and military heritage, so when he got the chance to lead the Catholics in his own crusade, he very well couldn't pass up the offer. He soon learned that the commander of the Imperial forces wanted to see him. He told them to send a armored car escorted by other armored cars to escort him here. In the meantime, Octavius had to make sure his various camps were secured and the noncoms were training the troops. Octavius had to make sure his troops were at least semi-trained before hitting the battlefield.

Octavius was slightly surprised when his allies arrived to pick him up. He had thought the other way around. With his bodyguards, he boarded the convoy, and turned command over to his deputy for a few hours until he returned.

Throughout the field men were excuting those of the rebels who were dying as punishment for their treason to the Empire.

Octavius looked out the window at the war torn countryside. He often wondered why God allowed such sorrow and suffering, and through these many years he still didn't have the answer. He crossed himself as he exited from the convoy, and waited for the allied general to meet him. His bodyguards remained ever watchful, their Doomani Special Applications Carbines at the ready.
