Haruspex Civil War

[Haruspex]

The civil war post is in the Military HQ board, and has begun. Tag, Beau, as this primarily concerns you, your welcome to be post in this. Anyone else, please ask me prior or discuss intentions here.

[Tagmatium Rules]

So - what exactly do you want me to do?

 

Tagmatium would be itching to attack north, slight your southern defences and make sure that they wouldn't threaten their northern border again. Would this sort of thing mean that Haru forces would temporarily unite against a common, and foreign, aggressor?

 

Also, the Imperial Government would not be above attempting to meddle in Haru affairs.

[Haruspex]

I would advise against a military action, the Empress current is unaware of the attacks, though once word spreads, the result will become clear. If a foreign power not yet involved decides on military action, it could result in a wider conflict then of current.

 

While the battle line might be deaf, it would react albeit slowly to soldiers and vehicles crossing the border, eventually word would reach other units untouched and Tagmatium would be exposed to the brutality of Haruspex warfare as evidenced by that in Beautancus, it could even push Haruspex to use weapons such as those loaned in secret to Zharr.

 

Also with the civil war about to begin, hostilities in Beautancus will diminish, eventually with Haru forces heading back to the homelands.What I'd like to see is more of a observation at least from Tagmatium, maybe joining Beau in the reformation of the new empire. If you wish to meddle, that's fine to.

 

The leader of the allied houses is a figure that represents those of the Haruspex who harken back to the old days of honor and glory by the blade, keen to keep their culture in the new world, but taking a path away from their decadent fall of late. Karn, seen in the 'age of haruspex' posts and sent to Akiiryu at one point. He will be interested in allies for a new future, perhaps meddling could be done there.

[Beautancus]

Yeah, you know I'm in for this one. Will have a post or two concerning this bit up tonight or tomorrow morning. Cheers.

[Tagmatium Rules]

I definately wasn't planning on any military action any time soon, don't you worry about that. For the moment, any action will be limited to head-scratching and perhaps people will still be convinced that it is all just a ruse to lull Tagmatium into a false sense of security.

 

I'll probably send some spies over to observe, mainly by climbing up the nearest tall mountain and having a good look through a telescope.

[Haruspex]

Sounds good, plenty of rocky outcroppings to do it. Most of the battle is taking place in the center of the line, at least here anyways. Hamai " New Hell ", will soon start to see their own version of it as the message hits the allied houses loyalist commanders and what not.

[Cabarria]

Sounds interesting. Obviously, Cabarria is too consumed with the problems in Zharr and Ishakor to do any kind of military meddling. Depending on what factions emerge, Cabarria might be willing to lend some sort of military support to one group or another. In any case, we'll be watching with concern, as the outcome will likely have many repercussions in the western half of Europa, especialy as Haruspex has made a few inroads already into Zharr.

[Tagmatium Rules]

I'm away from home until Wednesday or Thursday, so I don't know if I can make any lengthy replies until then, although I might be able to.

[Haruspex]

Alright. I like the one you did a few days ago Tag, keep up the good work.

[Tagmatium Rules]

What started at the border of Tagmatium had the reprecussian of a nuclear strike within the peoples of the Principality.

By this, do you literally mean a nuclear strike has happened, or is that just a figure of speech? I meant to ask you this ages ago

 

I don't think you'll answer me before I post ('cos I imagine you're busy), but I can easily re-write it a bit if it is a real nuke-strike.

[Haruspex]

it's a figure of speech. I wont be around really until the 9th when I return from Japan..thanks for the contributions though!

[Tagmatium Rules]

Ah, I guessed so. Thanks anyways, and have a good time!

[Tagmatium Rules]

Haru, is there any way that members of your border guards or eqivalent would trade with smugglers, so's that my lot can at least get rumours passed onto them?

[Haruspex]

Well as there's only the factions, though Karn's faction is nearest the border, his folk are more amicable to dealing with the black market for intelligence and such. So sure, have whomever it is approach the allied houses. Otherwise, smugglers become dead smugglers if they head towards the loyalists.

[Haruspex]

posting a reply with your mountain tribal folks in mind Tag.

[Tagmatium Rules]

Thanks, man.

 

Where do you want me to take this from here? You want me to continue RPing as that bunch, or leave it? I'll probably mention in passing in some post that Haru gear as begun to turn up in the hands of the warlords in the west, but that doesn't mean that the Imperial Government suspects Haruspex of anything.

[Haruspex]

I would love to have you continue RPing as that bunch, it's quite excellent. It may even lead to a formal trade agreement as the Haru Allied Houses are keen on intelligence of the outer regions as well as what the other half of their struggle is up to.

[Tagmatium Rules]

Hey, MH, you say in the last post you wanted the smugglers to give your lot news "of the land". I think I'm being stupid, but which land do you mean?

[Haruspex]

Well in your post you mentioned the tribes having access to intel and what not. Mostly the allied houses are interested in what the Tagmatium government may be up to. Just because they happen to be fighting their former comrades, doesnt mean they've forgotten about Tagmatium and the potential threat or ally they may be. In exchange for weapons and what not, they wish to keep a steady flow of intel traffic.

[Tagmatium Rules]

I thought you meant that Sorry, I was being dense.

[Haruspex]

Ah no worries

[Tagmatium Rules]

MH, you couldn't post a small summary of what's gone on so far in Haruspex itself, could you? As in the stuff which could have been found out by spies, 'cos I'm slightly unsure of what to exactly post, and I want a Imperial Cabinet meeting to have something to discuss

[Haruspex]

I can do that. Of what would you like to be found out or in general just a myriad of raw data etc?

[Tagmatium Rules]

Just some random stuff, troop movements and who currently has the upper hand. Basic stuff, nothing too big.

[Haruspex]

sounds good, when I get home I'll jog some stuff down for ya mate.
