RedspanIcon.png The Kingdom of RedSpan

Redspan is a realm of warriors. Whether you're a hardened fighter or a youngster eager to decapitate your first enemy, RedSpan will welcome you if you seek the true meaning of camaraderie, loyalty and cool dresses.

Be sure to make yourself familiar with our local customs and our devotion to Da Great Goat ... a great place to start would be our most famous local tavern at the roderidder Alley 8 in the city of Stargard.

Shamus O'Shea, King of Redspan


RedspanIcon.png A History of the Realm

The story of Redspan is a tale of survival, determination, and friendship. There have been many ups and downs for the realm, but ultimately it has been her faithful nobles who have preserved her, and managed to bring Redspan back from the brink of destruction. Plus, a little help from Da Great Goat of course.


Modern History, from July the 13'th

6/13/2006, After Nightfall: Redspan is currently running a brutal takeover in Tandsu as it is the only way to convince the peaseants in the area to give up their soap and water. The peaseants are desperate enough to crush fruit into a mushy mold to extract liquid and the powers that be have therefore decided to halt all inbound food supplies until a new chain of allegiance has been established.

Da Goat deliver them to our cherised fold.


Our enemies, the CE, Darka and Tara attempted to fool our forces by misdirection. They failed as our animal intelligence intuitively grasped the folly of acting on their bluff.

Yet they choose to starve their own capital by opposing the enlightenment of Da Goat and his wondrous ways.

The fancy dresses and rusty swords of the average Redspanian TL and soldier is slowly wooing over the population. In an opinion poll conducted a few hours ago only 14% of the population were still washing themselves. If this be due to a decreasing loyalty or the unnatural urges of the Taran realm or a lack of drinking water remains to be seen. May it never rain again so that all may be covered in lard.

PS. Great glory to our loyal allies Falasan, who came of their own accord. The superpower Abington is a great contributor to the cause despite recent domestic disturbances. Carelia currently has it's hands full fighting the Cagilan Empire on it's own front and requires the effort of every soldier to keep the major hostile power at bay.

Hail to the fallen General Leonard Enstance! Hail to Da Goat! ... Until the fall of Tandsu or a major battle, your Grenviol reporter - Itterind

6/13/2006 5:37 (Norseland Mean Time (also BM time)) Rumours are abuzz that a tournament held in Redspan after Tara's hopeful demise MAY be a good idea and a reward to faithful TL's!!

6/13/2006 5:42 NMT/BMMT Rumour confirmed by the Redspanian King. Ganbare! Redspanian TL's, we must faithfully and with much dedication reach the goals set by our superiors!


6/14/2006, After Sunrise: Tandsu is officially an imperial Redspanian province. All hail Da Goat! Yet our work is not over. The majority of the 352 peaseants feel as if they are being 'occupied'. To counteract these childese feelings of resentment the Goatdom forces and allies of goatdom have begun to *hand out free lard rations to all citizenry!

  • occasionally forced down their throats in order to lubricate their digestive tracts so they can be forcefed real food (some peaseants of Tandsu were too weak to take nourishment due to their self-imposed blockade)

Newborn babes are now Goatened in Lard Dumps rather then sprinkled with cold water. Infant death ratings have taken a steep plunge!

All hail Redspan! All hail Da Great Goat!

PS. Our deepest thanks to the Federation and Falasan for their invaluable support. -Itterind Grenviol, field camp, Tandsu

RedspanIcon.png Pivotal Battles in our History

  • The Battle of Stargard - A battle of legendary proportions, though unfortunately our scribes have been unable to recover any documentation concerning it. Beforehand Lei'o'mano Kamehameha gave his famous speech, and Abington reinforcements arrived in the nick of time to help RedSpan's brave defenders fight off the vast Norther Alliance horde attempting to sack the city, and thus preserve our realm.



  • The Battle of Ash'rily I - The second-largest battle in the history of Redspan (about 55,000 combined CS). We fought against the Ash Sea Islands with our allies, Carelia and Abington, and conquered the city together, finally returning it to Abington control.




  • The Battle of Tandsu I - A tragic battle for the nobles of RedSpan and their allies. Not only did they lose the battle, but we lost our brave General, Leonard Enstance, as well.
