Fronen/History
History Documents of Fronen will be tracked and stored here.
Information garnered from a retired Fronenian troop leader Trumpeldor
"The first ruler [of Fronen] was Harkin. In the First Age, Fronen was the brute of the New World, which wasn't yet called Beluaterra. It had an income of ca. 9500 gold vs. 4k-5.5k for most other nations. We accepted an alliance with Melhed against Ar Agyr. Then Melhed stabbed us in the back, so we came close to wiping them out; we gave them a treaty once they were down to two regions, iirc. At one point, Fronen controlled all the lake cities plus two cities on the east coast.
Fronen then got embroiled in the war against Old Grehk. OG only managed to exist by abuse: its ruler set a small unit to evade, and so long as they went uncaught we couldn't initiate a takeover. We would have finished rubbing OG out it it wasn't for the First Invasion.
Harkin and I both got bushwhacked by FL at the end of the First Invasion, so that's where my memory stops."
Fighting the Hordes
160 days ago...................................................................................... They dig their way up, undead always dig up, up to the surface where humans still try to life and fight for their lands and family. There is no honour in fighting undead, there is only honour in killing them. Nothing gives such a good satisfaction as killing a undead soldier. Normal arrows won't help, I've seen undead and beasts having 5 or more arrows in their body and could still batter their way through our battlelines. Only a clear head shot in the head taking out its brain helps...if you can call it a brain what these undead have. For the common like us fire arrows are always useful, the hordes hate fire. Some of the beasts can jump 30 feet high, I've seen countless unwary soldiers die believing they were safe behind our walls, always watch out for jumpers. Other beasts are living battering rams and storm towers, using their claws to breach our gate and let undead use his back hairs to climb up and jump up our walls. Then you have the common undead monsters, if you can call them common. Most of them stand 5 to 6.5 feet tall, using their claws, rusty swords, spears, axes and everything else which they can get their hands on. Undead don't use tactics, they aren't smart and they will sometimes attack a city with only a small platoon. They do work together with the beasts. Somehow these two attract to each other and they seem to know that undead numbers and bestial strength is a perfect combination to storm and overrun our lands. Hear them batter against our gates.....again.......and again......they are coming
158 days ago........................................................................................ Our outer walls are battered, our gates are breached, undead are in the city......we can not get out. All males older then 14 are used as soldiers....boys. It wouldn't surprise me if the officers picked kids from 11 just to catch the first blows for us. Out numberd, we storm...and we win. The hordes are driven from our city, but not by our weapons. For no reason they retreat, undead aren't smart we all know that. The outer city is devastated, body parts are all over and most building are damaged or destroyed. But we can rebuild them and somehow we managed to survive, the costs were enormous. From all the humans between aged 10 and 20 only 3 out of 10 are male. We lost a entire generation of boys within 2 days. My hands and skin are coloured red, my sword and armour are coloured red, the walls and buildings have red marks and stains everywhere, the moat is filled with the same colour our city has.....God I hate blood.
