Uiluan looked over the map of the known world. His troops were currently marching towards a territory to the north called Dentcora. Although his country was new and weaker than Dentcora, he had the alliance of the elves there. They were being oppressed by the Dentcora king, and they wanted to be free. That was where Laysen came in. Not yet much of an empire, it only consisted of Laysen and Nomad's Land to the east. Uiluan hoped to take Dentcora under his control.
Uiluan's ultimate goal was to unite the world. He knew the only way to do this was to conquer and defeat evil. There was much of it here. Dentcora and Oldland had the largest concentrations of it.
Uiluan sighed as he continued to work out a battle strategy. As he worked, Goron, his commander, stepped in. "Sir, the sun will rise in a few hours. Don't you think you should get some sleep before we march?"
"The same to you, Goron."
"I've already slept. I just got up to check on you."
"Alright, I'll go to bed." Goron left and Uiluan settled into his bed. He was worried. He could sense the evil radiating from Dentcora. It got stronger with every passing day. He vowed he would end evil's reign on the world, or die trying.
ooc: this is where your character could be a soldier in the army, talking to friends about the upcoming war. Or you could be an adventurer, traveling across the area when you come in contact with the army. Or you could even just have a conflict of your own. It's up to you to start your adventure.

Corian Palamon sat in his tent completely focused on the job at hand. His job was simple, try to figure the simplest way to do the job, as he was a military adviser. Also the fact the he had family in Dentcora and also in the army weighed heavily on his mind. As far as he knew, he had a cousin that lived in the Dentcoran capital, and his three younger brothers, all of whom were sound asleep, were all specialized with short-range equipment, which meant they would be in harms way, a lot. To add insult to injury, his wife of 10 years, was dead, the cause, she had committed suicide when she found out he was a mage. So with no relatives he had come to rely on magic to pass the time. He was however disturbed by one of the unit commanders.
"The sun raises soon, Palamon, you should sleep."
"My health is little concern to me. Also shouldn't you?"
"My unit is worried for, you have pulled three sleepless nights, don't make it four."
"Alright"
The commander left, leaving Palamon in his tent, he sighed and turned in for the. He slept well knowing that tomorrow was going to be a long day.

After speaking with Uiluan, Goron decided on taking another hour of sleep, he could use it, for he figured the battle would be quite strenuous. So as he was walking back to his tent, he felt thirsty and went for a drink. So, about ten minutes later he headed back for his tent. After lying in bed for about ten minutes, he decide that sleep was out of the question and decided to go sharpen his knife. First he searched through the mess in his tent to see if he even COULD find his knife. After about another 5 minutes of searching, he found it and left his tent, heading for the thing, well known by most others as the Sharpmaker.
As he was walking, not a single though crossed his mind, he simply reached the stone, and started to sharpen all of the blades he'd brought along. More and more he had to refrain from thinking anything, because he wanted this time to be almost restful. After he finished, and went back to his tent, he sat on the chair by the little table, looking over any battle plans that might have been tomorrow, only allowing himself to think a little.
All of the sudden, he heard some yelling. He let out a sigh, it sounded like a fight, he quickly got out of bed and ran for the mess tent. Once he got there, he screamed, "What The hell are you doing!!!!!!!!! We need to save our energy for battles, not for stupid insignificant battles!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Either they hadn't heard him, or they ignored him.
"Evil scum!!!!!!!" yelled one of the others.
The other replied, "Shut up, you're not much worse than scum, toe fungus!!!!!!!!!!"
At that moment, Uiluan walked in, and all went silent.

"Attention, men!" shouted Uiluan. "We march out in an hour, I will have no fighting among my own men! What was this about anyway?"
"He insulted my family, sir," said the first soldier. "He-"
"It was just harmless fun, your majesty," said the second.
"It is not harmless if it starts a blood feud between my soldiers. Before you know it the whole army will be split in half. What will that do to our already small chances of victory? We arrive at the rendezvous sight with the elves today, and we better be in good shape! I want to make a good impression on them. Understand?"
"Yes, sir!" the soldiers said in unison. Everybody then left the tent, leaving the few in charge of the mess tent to take it down. Other soldiers were preparing to march out and getting their supplies together too. The two soldiers who were fighting scurried off into opposite directions to take down their tents. Uiluan knew they were relatives, cousins if he remembered correctly. He took it upon himself to learn about everyone in his army from their profiles when they joined. Every soldier speaks with Uiluan himself before they officially become a member of the army.
Uiluan already had his tent down and his supplies gathered. He had done it himself early in the morning, two hours after he went to sleep. He did not believe in having servants do it for him. In fact, he had no servants, not usual for a king. Uiluan believed in equal rights to all. Everyone who helped him was a fairly paid employee of the Laysen Empire. Even then he tended to do things himself all the time, the grew up a farmer, and did not like to see people slaving below others who claimed to be superior.
Thirty minutes later he ordered his troops to line up into formation. Soon after they set out in a northerly direction to meet the elves of Dentcora.

Malanda was tired after a long day's walk, but decided to continue a little ways to see if she would meet anyone. She thought that there were voices in the distance, but didn't know if she was imagining things again. When she had gone a little further, she saw that there was a large group of people. It looked like some sort of army! She began to wonder if she had lost track of what was going on in the world while she traveled. She thought about whether or not she wanted to risk talking to one of the soldiers, but decided against it. Surely she would hear news of this in the next town she came to! She set up camp for the night in a nearby grove of trees, and after a light supper, decided to get some sleep in before continuing on her way.

They had been marching all day when they finally saw the elven encampment on the horizon. After another hour of marching they finally arrived there.
"Greetings, Elven King. These are your people, the Arenwood elves?" Uiluan asked, gesturing towards the camp with elves wandering around.
"Yes. They are all trained and ready to fight. Forty thousand of them."
Well, added to our thirty thousand that makes seventy thousand. Versus the one hundred and fifty thousand of Dentcora."
"Most of them don't have any training. They were just added to defend Dentcora from the Darklands. We would not like to be under their rule either. That is why we called upon you."
"And we thank you for trusting us. I was planning on giving my troops a days rest, so we march out the day after tommorrow."
"No objections, your Majesty. Me and my people are under your command now."
"Alright, men, set up camp!"
There was a scramble as everybody went to find spots for their tents. Uiluan lead his horse, with his tent, up to where the elven king had his tent. He set it up their and laid down. He slept on the ground, usually with the blanket under him, unless it was a cold night, in which case he had an extra blanket. Uiluan quickly dozed off, waking only when Corian and Goron stepped in for a few moments to check on him. He told them to get sleep, they would need to scout ahead and around the next day.
He slept well that night, as he did for a few nights before any battle..........

Goron had just left Uiluan's site, after checking on him. The only reason he was up, was because he always had trouble sleeping before any battle. After a couple of hours of lying in his tent, he decided to try Uiluans way. He picked out one blanket and headed outside where He had a clear view of the stars. He spent about an hour looking for constellations, surprised at how many he really knew, and then the next thing he knew there was a hint of light on the horizon, he headed back inside of his tent to look at any plans that might have existed. Just as he was about to step outside to find something to eat, Uiluan walked in.

After leaving Uiluan, Corian headed to his tent, picked up an old gnarled branch that served as a staff for him and headed out to the woods. He figured he'd practice his fledgling wizard skills and hope do something to ware him out as scouting sometimes did, so he could think of sleep, as stargazing energized him. He hadn't gone far when he came to a clearing that had been burned, but the was no smell of smoke. left that area quickly while making a mental map for later. He soon came across a cliff when something clawed his neck.
"OUCH, Got, OUCh, to, OUch, check, Ouch, cliffs. (Groans in pain) That is going hurt in the morning. (Groans in pain), The pain moves." (Groans in pain)
Turning around he found a baby griffin that was learning how to fly. Forgetting throbbing, and bleeding, neck he tended to the creature.
"You aren't going to be flying for awhile, not with a sprained wing. Do you wish to come along with me?"
To which the griffin nodded.
"I think I will call you, Laerg."
Laerg happily followed Corian, down the path, till they met a wizard. The wizard looked up and said "Stop, I see your great magic abilities. We must duel,"
"I rather learn magic the duel with it."
"Anyone who can tame a griffin must have magical powers."
"I have no magical powers, taming animals comes naturally to me."
'You have no magic and yet you have a griffin?"
"I have some magic, but it is weak at best."
Another wizard enters.
"Train under us you should."
"I can't, I am the adviser to the Supreme Commander of Laysen people, King Uiluan Trilar."
"We will talk to him."
Corian leads the them and Laerg to Uiluan's tent, only to find no one there.
'We will wait, for him Corian. Magic you seek, magic you learn."

"Meet at the mess tent in one hour, Goron. Gather up everyone else, all the elves too." With that Uiluan walked out of the tent. He headed back up to his tent to prepare the speech he would give soon.
As he entered the tent, two mysterious men stood up, with Corian sitting at their side. "Your majesty, we have a request," said the first man.
"What is the meaning of this? Who are these people Corian?"
"I don't know exactly. They appeared and said they wanted to teach me magic. I think it is a sound offer, but I seek your approval on the matter."
"And well you did. Please let me have a word alone with my advisor, men."
"As you wish," said the first man again as they both stepped out of the tent."
"Uon, cast a soundproofing spell on the tent," said Uiluan to no one in particular.
Another gray clad man stepped out of the corner of the tent. He held up his staff, which could not be seen well in the shaded corner, and uttered a few words. "It is done, brother."
"Thank you. As to the matter of you learning magic from these men, Corian, I simply cannot allow it. Someone who knows mages would recognize that their robes, while similar to Uon's over here, were trimmed in a blackest black, and were marked by a dark griffin head on their chests. These are renegade neutral mages. They were neutral at one time, but have turned partially to the side of evil. They worship a false god who's entity is a griffin. There is a god like this, as you know, but he is good and righteous, not evil as they think."
"So you wish for me not to learn magic?"
"Of course you can learn magic, but you will learn if from Uon. He is my brother. He learned from the most powerful wizard in the world. My family has a long history of powerful magic, and as you know, magic grows in power when it skips a generation. It skipped seven generations in our family, all of my siblings gained magical ability, and we are all skilled in it.
Uon will not be available until after the war. This is final, tell those men you regret to inform them that you must refuse their offer. That is all."

Corian walked out and gave the news.
"My leader has spoken, No deal."
"I see, but still, we will watch you most carfully."
The wizards left and Corian headed back to Uiluan's tent, upon entering he placed his finger on a map and said, "This area has been burned, but I feel no magic presence there. Is there anything else that could do this?"

King Uiluan Trilar "Well, a fire, for one thing. It is not of our concern, head to the mess tent, I will arrive for a speech soon." Corian reluctantly left the tent under a hard stare from Uiluan. Uiluan then sat for a few minutes and then left after him to head to the mess tent. When he arrived, he stepped up onto the small stage built for this speech. He looked out over his troops and the elves mingled throughout them. Altogether a force of 35,000. He cleared his throat, and began, "Attention!." The murmuring army became quiet instantly. "I was going to prepare a speech, but do to certain distractions, I was not able to. So I will speak my mind to you now. You are a force of 35,000 soldiers. Some of you infantry, some calvary, some even wizards. In my opinion you are the best trained soldiers in the world. On the other hand, you have not been tested in real battle yet! Tomorrow you will go to battle against 50,000 of the best trained army the world has seen. Keep in mind they have not seen you yet! The odds my seem overwhelming, but don't let that get to you. The 50,000 soldiers are just a border army. At the capitol rests at 100,000 soldier army, as well as divisions of 10,000 scattered throughout Dentcora." There was an uproar in the crowd, a few distinct phrases made it to Uiluan's ears. "We don't have a chance!" "Are you joking!" "I am regretting this already!" Uiluan got mad, "PLEASE! CALM DOWN! Don't let the fear get to your head! You have been prepared for this for weeks. You knew the odds when you agreed to come with us! Our bravery makes up for our lack of numbers! The Dentcora army is cowardly, that is why they are so numerous! Bravery, training, and strategy are the keys to our victory! Now, anyone who wishes to turn back, do so now, I will not make you fight against your will." No one left. There was a certain power to his words, as usual. "Now! Pack up your supplies, we march through the night, we will be at the Dentocora border tomorrow morning!" A great cheer arose from the crowd. Fists were waved in the air. The name "Trilar!" was chanted over and over...

Corian sat calmly listening, as he was the not the cheering type, and as soon as Uiluan's speech was over he left and headed back to the burnt spot, and found out what had caused the burns, a large dragon-like creature was lying in the middle of the clearing, and she had young. Corian quickly doubled back and set out in another direction, he liked the night, because he knew that if there were enemies out there he won't be able to be seen very well, especially if he was wearing a black outfit, complete with mask. He roamed for a few hours then returned to his tent and turned in for the night, he was one person that never slept well before a battle as he thought of the lives that would be lost.

King Uiluan Trilar It was midnight. Only hours away from a battle with the Dentcora border army Uiluan's sources informed him of. The army was silent as it marched. A tense feeling tight in the air. Uiluan brought his horse closer to Goron. He said in a whisper, "I want you to ride ahead, quietly. Conform that the army is where it is supposed to be. Ride back the instant you have done this. We will stop just out of sight of them." "Yes, sir. But, one thing has been on my mind." "Yes?" "How do you know the army is there. You sent no scouts ahead, none of our wizards are skilled at scrying, let alone into a place most likely protected from being so." "I have my ways, move out." Goron rode away as quietly as he could. Not an hour later he came back. "I think we have marched faster than you have anticipated, we are close." "Give the order to stop." Goron rode to the first row of soldiers, whispering to them to halt. Behind the rest of the army did the same. "Now, we wait," Uiluan whispered to himself.

Corian sat on his horse and stared out over the army that he perfered to be among. When the army stopped Corian moved up and over till he was next to a tree. He then dismounted and climbed the tree, his thin and frail looking frame making the climb easy. He looked out and saw nothing out of place. He the climbed down and walked up next to Uiluan and said, "So we wait, but what are we waiting for?"

King Uiluan Trilar "We wait for battle. The army ahead has skilled mages; however, they are skilled only in the arts of hiding. They will not fight. They have camouflaged the whole army, but I know better. For one, I have an informant, and two, Goron has a special ability to see through spells of that sort. You probably did not know that." *************** The army stood until sun-up, when there sounded a horn to the north. Then, suddenly, a shimmering took place in the air, it continued down spreading out like water over a dome. When it was gone, there stood an army, fifty-thousand strong. The horn sounded again, and the army began to advance. "People of Laysen! Now is your chance to shine in battle against a formidable enemy! Prepare yourselves, we hold until I give the order to attack!" The Dentcorian army continued to advance toward the Laysen army. The Laysen army stood rigid, not moving, not a one person even made their breaths visible. Deep down, everyone, even Uiluan, were shaking with fear. The Dentcorian army was just yards away when they began to charge. "Hold!" yelled Uiluan. The army grew closer. "Hold!" Closer now. "CHARGE!!!!!!!!" The shout bellowed out over the noise of the sudden uproar from the Laysen army. The two armies surged together. The Dentcorian army taking on a V shape, but the Laysen army stayed in perfect formation until the final moment. There was a loud metallic clang in the air as sword met sword. There were also the gruesome sounds of skulls getting crushed under the weight of the Laysen cavalry, of heads getting cut clean off, and of spears piercing bodies and snapping. Through all this noise, Uiluan entered the fight himself....................

Corian knew Uiluan would head into battle which was why he headed for the right flank of the Dentcora army where he mercilessly hacked at the army until he was satisfied and withdrew. his total had been 10 people, He waited for 2 minutes then returned to deal with that flank again. He repeated the pattern two more times before moving over toward the back of Uiluan's army. Hiding his horse in a very dense thicket he climbed a nearby tree and started launchinig arrows. He wasn't enjoying this. He wanted to kill as many people as possible so that the opponet would retreat, which at the rate things were going this was going to take while.

Uiluan had killed dozens of people by now. His sword was covered with blood. He killed yet another soldier when the arrows came. They rained down on both sides of the battle, though they were meant for the Laysen side. One pierced Uiluan's left shoulder. He yelled in agony as it went in very deep. He did not stop however, and continued on the fight. His left arm grew weaker and weaker, until he could not even lift in anymore. He had killed several more people when the weight of his shield became unbearable. He turned his horse around and quickly exited the fray. Ordering his own archers to fire volleys in unison towards the back of the enemy, careful not to hit their own people. He then called a medic over to remove the arrow and patch the wound.
He looked over the fray and saw that both armies were about the same size at this point. This was good, his army, even though inferior in size, had went way beyond his expectations, Of course he would never tell anyone that.
He noticed the archers volleys becoming spread out and not timed at the same time. Where was the head archer, who was supposed to tell them when to fire? Looking around, he saw he had been killed by a stray arrow from the same volley that hit him. Laying down, he noticed Corian in a tree behind him.
"Corian! Make sure the archers fire their arrows correctly!" he shouted, giving him orders.
P.S. Sorry for the delay, been busy with life.

Corian had changed to a green outfit and now headed to the archers to give them orders. Then an arrow cuts his right hand. A medic approached him.
"Let's get you healed."
Corian looks at him like he wasn't hurt at all. "I have a job to do, then I WILL get healed." (To self) "I'll just have to move faster."
Corian reached the archer line and ordered them to retreat to clearing, where he gave direction.
"Study the arrow patterns then fire as a unit. Clear."
"Yes."
Corian then retreats to his tent again to collect a few things. He then spots a tree hole in a tree that bordered the edge of the clearing. He quickly made his way there, climbed up, set his traps, and got some of his arrows ready with poison and began to look for enemies. If Uiluan needed him, Corian would be out of range of messangers, He was alone, in a tree, on a blood filled field. He felt as if natue itself wanted Uiluan to rule.

Uiluan sat on a mat getting his shoulder bandaged by a medic. A messenger ran up to him, "Sir! Our soldiers are winning the battle. However, we have significant losses of our own!"
"From now on aim to capture, not kill. Injure them if you must, but if we may convince them to fight for us, it may be better not to."
"Yes, sir," said the messenger as he ran to give the orders to Goron and Corian.

Corian waited in his tree and counted the number of swords he hanging from the tree. "Thirty and there are 25 archers down there also. All dead."
Then Uilan's messanger shows up. "Uiluan told me to tell you, from now on aim to capture, not kill. Injure them if you must, but if we need to convince them to fight for us." The messanger leaves."
"What? Ally, (Looks at his hand) On the other hand I could make due the new faces. I just need to think of this as character building." Corian packs up his things and leaves them at the ready, draws his sword and, heads through the trees to the enemies camp. He lands in the Commander's tent and says, You are making a mistake, Dentcora is corrupt, and Uiluan is trying to fix that." The Commander and some of his generals draw swords and attack Corian, who countered all by drawing another sword. The combat ensued for an hour before Corian, fled up a tree and returned to his tree hole conviced he shouldn't have left.
