Onasthesis the Strong of Britton, Duke of Britton

Britton, the manor owned by Onasthesis, first cousin of Arthesses and heir to the thrown, is the capital of the Briiscoonian Empire. It is the centre of trade and diplomacy, however small that may be, of the empire and all of its neighboring countries. The treasury and capital building is located in this manor, which also serves as home of one third of the population.

Allistonias the Angry, Earl of Briiscoonia Azantia

Briiscoonia Azantia was once owned by the Elvan Holy Empire but after the comet struck was quick seiged by human forces and taken as the second manor of the empire. It also serves as good spot of trade as well as a home for a large portion of the Briiscoonian Army, due to Allistonias's large connection to the military with a Field Marshal serving rank.

Field Marshal Ignatius the Brave

The Briiscon Army is made up of mainly infantry units with a large calvary section, and a small amount of artillery. The standard battle formation of an infantry, calvary, and artillery legion is to bolster up the infantry and place the artillery directly behind. The artillery would bombard the enemy with cannon balls while the infantry would fire their muskits. To be extremely effecient, there is a large group of militia and technitions behind the infantry lines who load the muskits and pass them foward. As they are discharged they are passed back as loaded ones are passed foward making an extremely effecient front line.

The current Briiscon Army is made up of the following:

History:

Briiscoonia is know for it's imperialism. Although with such a reputation, the government and military is overly polite in battle. Before the comet had struck, the empire was made up of several city states ruled by rich, white land owners. They were constantly harassed by the Holy Empire's armies, the elves would attack and raid the human cities and then massacre the remaining populace. The year the comet struck, His Royal Imperial Majesty Artheresses the I of Britton was coronated in the House of Commons. (http://www.essential-architecture.com/LO/047-George_IV_coronation_banquet.jpg)

Shortly after he was coronated he had assembled the manor owners of the various city states and combined their military to a fend off the incoming Holy Empire forces. The large force was place on Pelanor Field ready to combat the elvan foes when the comet struck rendering the elvan army in capable of fighting. The defending Briiscoonian army then turned into a raiding force and captured two of the current five territories shortly after the comet fell.

Three years later Artheresses the I died in battle with a stubbourn group of elves. Shortly after his son, Omniasius the Killer (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/MaxI.jpg), came to power and sent out his dearest friend, Field Marshal Karsian Albonette (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/Jean_Charles_Nicaise_Perrin_001.jpg) to hunt down the elves and gain more land for the empire.

His first fields of operation was the mountainous Madanola area where he quickly over came the magic working enemies there. After such battles he would to surround the elves in Pelanor Field. The field, with such a magical prescence, gave the elves an advantage and the attacking force was chrushed.
