[QUOTE="The Goblin King, post: 817995, member: 10970"] I had an evil idea today. The Confederacy has the upper hand. No doubt as they have numbers and home ground. The leader of the Stempan army, a Hobgoblin Cleric by the name of Riishthrack, does not like this war. He feels that it was senseless to provoke the Auselen in the first place and now the Confederacy is getting what it deserves. He also has a grudge against the generals of the Ta'Jinn and Cressian armies. They used to go on adventures togather until Riishthracks love died. He feels it is the others fault but also blames himself for letting her come along. In reality it was no ones fault but the Barrow-Wight who slew her. These things happen when you are an adventurer. After that the group broke up and Riishthrack went back to Stempa. He became a well respected leader of the people. The Stempan army is fiercely loyal to him. With the help of his supporters back home he declares the Treaty of the Confederacy broken. Riishthrack leads his army off the field and back to Stempa. There he crowns himself emperor. Now, I see this as a popular revolt. The people love him and he has the army on his side. The Cressians and Ta'Jinn see things differently and declare war on Stempa to free them from tyranny. I have always imagined the Stempa as being a mostly Lawful people. The Cressians are mostly Neutral and the Ta'Jinn are Chaotic. I'm not sure why I think of th Ta'Jinn as being Chaotic. I guess its something about the wide open plains. The Auselen are of course Lawful Evil. The Stempa and Auselen both have something in common. They are Law abiding peoples who are being attacked by the Confederacy. The Stempa and Auselen forge a new treaty and the Empire is born. The enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that. Thus, the great war is started. The war to end all wars. Law versus Chaos. In the end it comes down to a final apocalyptic battle between the two forces. On the Heavens River lies the Bridge of Lowrp. Also called the Gate to Jinn this great work of architecture is the main path by which trade flows in and out of the plains. Were this city to fall the Ta'Jinn would be done for. Both armies pull out everything they have including hiring mercenaries. The Confederacy convinces some Hill Giant warbands to help them while the Empire presses Goblin Worg riders into service. The battle is titantic and lasts several days. So much blood is spilled on the Bridge of Lowrp that the timbers are stained red. To this day it is also known as the Red Bridge. The Confederacy is victorious though it is a pyrrhic victory.
