This is a work in progress. Ideas are still being thrown in and out, and I will update this as soon as possible.
Introduction
The campaign for control over the Yalwa province ended miserably. Many commanders lost the battles, lost their freedom to the Kandelians, and thus lost their heads to the Emperor. The FNA was steadily weakening and insufficient supplies were taking its toll on the army. Their victory at Ultha was short lived; Kandelian reinforcements arrived and surrounded them, cutting off all means of escape. What followed was a massacre of massive proportions that was unlike anything the Nexians had ever seen. The rebellion fell and was crushed under the heel of the Kandelian emperor. Kand rose in triumph while the rest of Nexus suffered under turmoil, confusion, heavier taxes, and demands for more crystals.
Even so, many Nexians were inspired by these events to take back their freedom. One such group on an island offshore of the mainland of Tyarin came into existence during the rise, and ultimately the fall of the rebellion in 2528. Forced to slave and mine for the Kandelians in their war effort, the Nexians decided that the time had come to take matters into their own hands. The Nexians rose up and formed a kingdom instead of an empire, feeling that Nexian rule would not be much different as Kandelian rule, and also would not benefit the people of Nexus. The leader of the group, whose name shall not be disclosed, claimed to have noble blood. At the time, he was only 8 years old. He also claimed that he was an ancestor of the empress Jani Vers. He proved himself on both counts, and rose up as King of Nexus.
His Majesty certainly did have the talents of the Great Empress. He was a peacemaker and a politician who had his way with words. He hated war, but felt it was necessary to rid the Kandelians from Nexus. He also possessed great wisdom in dealing with tough situations. At such a young age, the King was already a powerful man. In 2547, as King, His Majesty made many important decisions. The first was to create an army and organize the training of his troops. He wrote many pages and plans concerning the reconquest of Tyarin, Kerlo, and the Kingdoms of the East and his effort to free the Nexians and restore power to the long-lost lineage of the royalty of Allantha. Weapons were piled up deep underground in the mines. The second decision was making political alliances. His Majesty worked very hard and travelled all over the world with his Royal Guard to get as much help as possible. Kandelian sympathizers provided supplies, food, weapons, and crystals. Nexians all over the world were helping. The third decision was to organize an expedition to find Allantha. His Majesty felt that this would change the course of the war if Allantha was found.
In many ways, the campaign for Tyarin was much stronger and had much more preparations than the Yalwa campaign. Though the military was still not as strong as they had hoped, there were more than enough supplies and crystals to capture a base that could produce enough armies. For 39 years, the kingdom worked in secret, by which time the King was old enough to rule. The miners kept a hidden arsenal of weapons and crystals underground, far from the reach of the Kandelians. Plans were made, and every so often there were top-secret meetings with other organizations on stand-by. Everyone was alert, ready for the signal that would begin another rebellion. On the week before the start rebellion, His Majesty finally took up his throne. Nexians all over the world celebrated.
Unfortunately, somehow word MAY HAVE leaked through to the the Kandelian government, and His Majesty disappeared while on a trip to Kerlo. His Royal Guard was found dead, all of them assassinated. Historians believe that he was kidnapped by an unknown party, possibly the Kandelians or the LFNK, although no ransom was demanded and there wasn't a public announcement. There were rumors of an execution by torture, although historians deem this highly unlikely. Later, the King's most trusted advisors decided to continue the rebellion because that was what the King had wished. Therefore, things continued as planned. Three days later, in the year 2569, the Kingdom of Tyarin declared its independence from Kand.
Your job now is to win and continue His Majesty's quest for peace and freedom across Nexus. Good Luck!
Long live the dead King!
This is not the map. lol. I'm going to try contacting other people to get a real map of Tyarin.
Maps, in the order they will be played.
Insurrection
With high tax rates and unforgivable demands for crystal mining, the Nexian population has become angry and rebellious. The Kingdom of Tyarin can not stay in secrecy for much longer. Any day they might be discovered. The rebellion begins. Nexians have only scouts, bunkers (homes for miners), and infantry, and no heavy weapons because those can't be hidden. Status: Almost done
