The day the Tayrangi leaders came in people of So'um started looking in weird tones.
Nothing of them was seen The main road to the Imperial Palace had become too crowded by citizens of all age, occupations, and regions.
Everybody wanted to get a look of these foreigners "who were Na'vi but not So'um".

The Polezei troops were increased so suddenly that very 1 out 10 people in a patch of land was an Polezei soldier.

The literary was Administrative district -> Senate -> Imperial palace

On reaching the shore The Tayrangi Leaders were dispatched by So'um delegation of senators.

These men were tall and wore white clothing. Short knee length jackets to get protection from the nasty chilly wind of the port city.

The King presented the leaders with Vi'al(sashes of noblity) as an Invite to join the Imperial noblity.

The captain was ready to move to the territory down south He had heard rumors. The King wanted him the people down. The king wants to open new trading routes. The kingdom has hit deep crack of economic imbalance.

The holes have to be patched.

The Captain enters the secretary's office assigns him the job. He will get a team of 20 odd individuals all ready to serve him. The Secretary asks the captain to wait a week so the preparations can be done.

The Captain shares the encounter with his family(his siblings, parents, wife and kids). HIs father sees this is something shady, the kids babble about their day at school and things around.

The Captain tells his brother Apparently they never bother to map the south since it's outside our borders The secretariat told me the tribes live there they are quite hostile. They believe in weird a** nonsense.

His brother tells him not to go by assumptions and spend this week preciously into collecting information about the territory he's venturing into. His father calls this a logical move.

His brother drinks and goes to sleep.

The captain prepares for the "adventure". The men provided are some rag-tag conscripts, some beasts and a fistful veterans.

The captain has heard tails of the wind south. The only way to reach there is the boats. The men uses the budget allocated to study these meeting explorers who have ventured into these territories before.

The pub became the place where these men shared these tales. Vetrans of the campaign decided to meet these men in these pubs

The explorer tell the place is inhabited by a tribe called Tanagu The tribe wear bare minimum clothing. The terrain is just rocks, coves and a shore of unpredictable waters.

Many laugh as they hear the proposal that the king wants to trade with savages who can't even shit indoors.

The tavern is filled with shady looking individuals.
The military men can be distinguished by their colorful clothing.

The conscripts try venturing with the merchants to get some sort of funding.
The mission being backed by the crown has intense scope of monetary riches.

The folk hear it They know there certainly no fun around here.

The tavern is filled with shady looking individuals.
The military men can be distinguished by their colorful clothing.

The voyage is hard and tiresome. The group consists of ~30 men and some dozen beasts, food and water are stacked to cross the salty ocean.

The men are burdened not with the responsibility of the King's order but the idea of becoming everything at once Cartographers, Explorers, Engineers whatever. They are the first civilized individuals to reach the tribal shores.

Many trust the words they heard from the explorers many don't.

The voyage starts The men are merry As the days pass by the murk turns diseases, weakness with other evils haunt the minds of these sailors.

The nights are cold while the days hotter with time as they travel South.

The back of the ship is loaded with items for a possible alliance.

The Tayrangi saw what they wanted. They underestimated the men out of ~30 men 10 died crushed under boulders some hunting.

The Tayrangi women were hostile against the new foreigners.

The captain would call it the only bet the king might loose.
The barbarians are not into trade by coins.
They just exchange things
They just scam each other mutually. It argued for against it. His men can't live in hostile regions for long enough. The hostility can be felt in the air

The king said no He wanted to get the money from somewhere so he did what the King of Soum do best get a wildcard In here it means getting the tribals into the system of the Empire.

The Tayrangi were very loyal to Omatikaya This intel the Captain send to the King with his limited time living with the tribals.
This response is met with an idea that the global navi have developed some sort of kinship system. The Soum are out of it. The Soum King now pushes for his more hidden agenda getting the Soum into this new kinship system.

The Captain is the individual sanctioned directly by the crown. The people know the Tayrangi as a weird people who do weird things Many Soum merchants and explorers do travel travel and only live around for fuel.

The

The Tayrangi deployed into various groups They decide to take the words of the elders into heed. Several Tayrangi groups doing the intel hunt are not sure what are they after. Many questions of the Tsahik. They argue amongst themselves Why not just take down these men.

Some argue they could have better weapons They cannot be sure if they what the elders claim to be. Everyone has their reasoning but none dare defy the Tsahik.

The Tayrangi councils decides to take to observe these individuals.

The words of the elders surely were not false but they couldn't believe all of it word for word. The Tsahik decides to siege these men and their actions.

The men observed

The men came in a boat, plundered nothing around the shore, some younger man have still been doing some sort of chants

Tayrangi on their Ikran go towards the shore to find some clues. They try not to let the enemy found out what their intentions. The Tayrangi warriors found something heritical. They find minerals mined by ripping the chest of the mother. These were enclosed in the packs of the younger soldiers of Soum.

The word reaches the Tsahik. A council is called They discuss and call these men heretical. The strike is not against the some hypothetical enemy but heritics of Evya.

Some Tayrangi approach the Soum Captain they declare they can allow only him with 2-3 aides on his side.

The Captain is in an awe at the Tayrangi Evya site. He looks around. He sees the people around him. His aides look impressed. The aides claim the Tayrangi have memory of who they are So let's not lie.

The captain agrees and tells who they are explaining everything from So'um and their voyage to the Tsahik. The explanation didn't make sense to these people so they call him out. The Captain argues that he has no arms on his just gifts for them. He's an emissary of the King.

Some Younger warriors calls them heretics. Captain Aide 1 argues against such a title. He says they mean no harm so they should be treated with respect. The scene is controlled not escalating anywhere.

The Captain meets an individual called "Noas'al".
He is a famous explorer he knows every wave the smell of the ocean is just second nature to the individual.
The captain after inquiry comes with intel.
The famous explorer comes every 7th day in A'turan tavern.

The Captain reaches the tavern.
The problem being the tavern is outside the capital city in a nearby mountain town.
Going in would be a big mess.
He goes anyway.
The captain and 3 veterans travels.

The captain looks up the sky the tavern is on a floating mountain.
Ah bloody hell the captain calls the tavern.
Ah I forgot vertical construction is allowed in this area.
This not a city.

The men climb a big wine coming down from a big tree.
The captain climbed on somehow.
He opened the door and the three men went in.

They were disguised to see the place serving flavored water.
They expected some alcohol. They are broke the veteran aide called.
They are serving water with sugar, they have types these sugars this is from plant near the coast this is plant from the river and this is.... Ah I cannot read that much.
How many glazes have you drink It's 4th serving.
Where is your man boy. the captain yells at the young man who called them here.
The people looked them since they are only ones screaming.

What are you looking at the menu boy the captain asked.
The boy replied Nothing Sire just looking at something other than water.
So what do they have I think they sell squashes you mix water and dilute the juices to drink the final thing.

The young man points to a door near the tavern slab. The captain asks who is the man. The one that's tall with the delicate coat, The one that's swift and barely clothed above the waist.

The child then tells the Captain no it's that frail young man eating smashed leaves. The veterans looks closely and asks is he drinking leaves. The captain question if the kid is scamming them.

The Group moves to confront the man. The man answers yes to all questions They found their man.

The conscripts go to the local market and buy their stuff that they think would be required for the voyage into the hostile territory.
One man asks if they should apply for a loan.
They vote amongst themselves Everyone agrees
The men are now heading to a Merchant

The men travel from quarter to quarter to look for a merchant who can fund them.

With after days of no-luck they came upon a young man.
The young man had injured one of the conscripts. As a token of apology he took the conscript to a medical shop got him treated. Offered the group a drink. In the talks the conscripts reveled they needed some funding for the King's campaign. It's quite an unknown so they lack support.

The young-merchant took the conscripts to his house. It was a weird place near a dork where you expect the most naval thing but no it's a whole estate lying there. They met his father the big merchant guy who cracks a deal with them "Money for intel"

The fleet arrived in exactly 1 week after the squad cam back with a ten men causality.

The crown now realized something that it doesn't has a luxury to let the barbarians. If the trade is not mutual so let us pursue by other means.

The Senate sanctioned for a small low level fleet commanded by a dual command the the aerial and naval commanders.

Many higher names were considered by rejected to their ties to the Senators a certain distrust of the nobles was lingering in with the monarchy.

The King ultimately finds two lower ranking captains from the times of the 30 yrs war. These two men were officially given command of the mission.

The mission being the bombardment of the Taryrangi shores crushing them and assaulting them from air in an aftermath.

The commanders discusses the measures, countermeasures to subdue these tribes living on the Tayrangi shores.

The hammers stopped, everybody leaned on their positions, a horde of 30 carriages differing in sizes came in. Men in bluish-black thick coats decorated with stripes and green sashes surrounded every entry and exit point. These men in bluish-black uniforms commanded ~30 squads of heavily armed men blocking every entry and exit point.

People could feel the mission as never a military commander had set foot in the shipyards personally. To the plebs' utter shock there were two commanders, their clothing gave it all, Imperial regalia, an entourage of armed men, the green sash worn exceptionally by military officer core.

A tall men came out off the carriage. He wore a hat on his head. The DockMeister understood of his uniform, he understood this is a commander rank any recklessness will get heads rolling. He's no politician he won't entertain any hurls, bad-mounthing, irrational behavior, none.

The men working at dockyard started blabbering stitching reasons.

The DockMeister rushed to the men, seeing the carriages afar.

The DockMeister recognized and escorted the commanders to his office.

They commanders introduced themselves as Sith'Van Juryan Vi'of ** and ** Sith'Van Juryan At'rum.

The commanders passed an envelope detail ling a list of ships that needed to be built.
The commanders were clear on their part take as much money, men and beasts you need but we need this in the before the deadline.

DockMeister argued against the timeline. To which the commanders replied Take as much employ every dockyard in the empire we do have. The commander points out to the clause 8 which clearly provides an overarching power of every dockyard of the empire.

Vi'of continued his talk while his friend in charge the aerial part of the campaign went to secure the funding. The commander proceeded to ex plain he called for a new class of ships focusing only on bombardment of the shores the barbarians trusted the most.

Many engineers working their apprentice years on the dockyard called the new category as madness. The commander was adamant He didn't want a no It was insisted on the engineers figure this all out on their own since he had the money.

At'rum calls a meet of all merchants in the empire The meeting is organized outside the
Imperial capital, since the merchants have unsettled dues with the aristocrats of the senate. The merchants don't wanna meet with the commander where some loony of the senate dwelling aristocrat can kill them.

At'rum tells the merchants that they have discovered this vast land that can help the merchants fund. If they cam fund his fleet a week's time they all can have something in their pockets. The king has a document to back the commander's claim. He proceeds to show them.

At'rum in parallel holds using a proxy in his name. The mission to secure military grade beasts across the empire the ones that can fly and if needed can also perform amphibious assaults.

Both the commanders agree on one thing the enemy is hostile and they don't know much about the geography. The enemy has to be subdued without a foot on the enemy soil.

At'rum sends a lower ranking captain to inspect new gear for soldiers. As he instructed the gear should be swift tied to the waist, with light gear accompanying every air assault individual.

The soldiers come into the land of the Tanugi "the mythical tribals down the plateau of Raun".

The soldiers feel mesmerized what they see. It had been days since they had steeped on land. Using the intel they walk around. They make a camp for the night. The night was near. The men take their gear out of their boat. They decide to acquire a cave for the night. The night becomes the first when everyone. The captain tells everyone they are strained on resources. He's been scamming everyone. The conscripts panic over this. They argue for the solution. The captain tells them the most obvious answer "Men we will forage and make our way in".

The conscripts argue against the foraging. They argue they should prepare for better alternatives. The captain argues they don't know the terrain. The veterans argue for the captain's idea. If they live on a single place they can be easy targets for the tribals dominating the land. The veterans point the they have no better option, if they forage it will be difficult for the tribals to find them.

The conscripts have no option other than accepting the word of their seniors. The night goes as one. The veterans explains every conscript their duties for the night. They are told to always wear a medium sized on their in a sheathe that can slide the blade on their palms. They can trust no man or beast except their own knowns.

At daybreak everyone was expected to rise with first ray of daylight. The men arose and who didn't get a bucked of water on his faces.

The men soon lined up in their gear. they divided into 4 groups of ~10 men each led by a veteran soldier. The groups started foraging their process. The Captain bashed his saber on the ground and declared "now from here we go on our ways one who finds estd you camps and keep contacting each other till you meet the tribals".

Each group was assigned some beast of burden. A group walked for an entire day and made a camp near a pond.
The men started foraging the deposits of salt there, some plants they considered edible they gathered. They started hunting meat from the areas implementing traps, snares and other kind of small traps for the smaller beats. Days went by then men hunted more and more cutting across teams. They found no trace of anything resembling a tribal.

The captain shot a canister of gunpowder in the air. This was the signal for the troops to dissolves the units of 10 and regroup. The groups traveled 2 days on foot.

The men now travelled loaded with heavy sacks of brined meat, alcohol made during their camping, rock salt and more things in their beasts. Many conscripts ate their words claiming to be the best time of their times. They may even

The Tayrangi observed these Navi looking men from far away their forests canopy.

One of the Tayrangi went down when these men were sleeping he took the Pandora-mule. He essentially estd that this cannot reproduce. The Tsahik takes the matter very seriously.

The conscripts find this weird how a fucking mule gets away with no footsteps nearby, nothing. They ask did air take or ground swallow it. The veterans grilled the conscripts how can you forget a mule.

The Tayrangi leadership tried to ask the Evya existence of the beast but it didn't answer.

The men foraged the region like madmen they defied the ways of Evya.

They drank from the ponds and took sweet nectar. The moment they found these plants producing sweet nectar they, used their instruments to produce alcohol from it. They took more than they needed. They used axes of iron to chop wood amass. They ate an animal, skinned it after eating it, they made soup of its bones, crushed the bones to make some kind of paste to use later. Many of these foreign men used animals skins to make ropes, clothing and even wore hides of the beings they killed so warm themselves.

The men had weird animals many of these were just made specifically breed artificially for their burden, speed or meat. This defied all the ways of Evya.
