    War is Declared!
    War is declared on the Abode by the regime of the Djun. The military might of the Djunslanders suggest the fioght will be over quickly, but no one can underestimate the resolve of the Abode. The first moves of the War center around securing the forts and entry ways into the country, but everyone knows it's only a short wait before the first battle is gathered.
  • The First Battle of Tate's Creek

    The first battle of the War is fought in the the small town of Tate's Creek just across the border.

The Audacious General Tecumseh leads the ill-prepared and green troops of the Abode preferring to take the fight to the Djun on his land. The fight is bloody and quick ending in a loss for the Abode, some saying a Military Disaster.
  • The 7th Calvary commences raids

    After the loss at Tate's Creek Major Willits leads his Calvary Unit in daring raids along the Djun's flanks out-manuevering and embarassing the Red Jackets on several occassions. Cutter quickly earns a reputation as a leader while Skywise gains one as the ultimate scoundrel.
  • The Scouts cross over into Djunsland

    The Sheridan Scouts, a group of 25 who pass through training, deploy across the border into enemy territory. They disappear into the dark, to see and not be seen. Redlance and Jonas are among a group of ten who cross the river north of the Army. They all are gone for a year scouting and sending back information.
  • The Battle at Amelia's Meeting House

    The forces of the Abode and the Djun fought in the open fields by the small meeting house in a town called Amelia.

The battle lasted two days with the Djun soundly defeating the Abode and General Lawrence on the second after recieving reinforcements.
  • The Battle for Halifax

    The one day Battle for the town of Halifax was the bloodiest of the War with no clear winner. Both sides lost too many soldiers to death and wounds. In the end the field is given to Tecumseh as the Djun and his army retreat for the day.
  • A Sheridan Scout is captured

    Aurek recieves word through a source that a Sheridan Scout was captured near a town called Traylor.

  • The Fated Battle of Bells Ferry

    The Abode, sufferring losses at Halifax and Amelia's Meeting House, threw all they had into the four day fight for Bells Ferry. It was a last stand for the Abode. The fight at Little Round Top distinguished Captain Cutter Kinseeker and proved that he was more then a simple elf.
  • The Town of Maryville is destroyed

    Returning from a mission in Dansville prison Redlance is diverted to Marysville just before the Djun's 'Maruaders' arrive. He is able to save 125 of the Maquis and their family, the rest of the towns people are murdered and the town is burned to the ground. He is put in for the Medal of Valor, but no one knows what became of the recommendation
  • The Wilderness Campaign of the Djun

    The Djun starts a nine month campaign to strike back at the Abode. He lays seige along the border trying to finally crush the country's defense. Several forts, from Petersburg to Fredericksburg, holds off the attacks and end the one chance for the Djun to take the Abode.
  • The 7th is cornered and so is Red

    The 7th under Major Cutter rides into the town of Centerville along the border informing the Army there the Djuin is coming. They are trapped as the seige of the Town begins and there they stay for the three month attack. At the same time Redlance goes to Fort Skyfire miles away on the border. He tells the fort commander of the impending attack of the Djun's forces and aids the Abode by conducting recon on the outskirts of the fort during the three month seige.
  • The Begining of the end

    With the defeat of the WIlderness Campaign the Djun faces more than just the loss of the War. The long term of his regime has finally started to take its toll on the Djunslanders who have had enough. A small attempt to take over is failed as two Genrerals, backed by the Maquis, try to assassinate the Djun. The second attempt later by his own son is more sucessful.
  • A Son of the Djun shall rule

    In a coup the son of the Djun, Grohml, takes over by killing his father. He is tricked into this unknowningly by a sister he never knew existed with a rifle that now has an ominius history. His first act as the new Djun Grohml sends his army into battle against the Abode at a town called Draden. It was a stunning and sound defeat for the Grohml and his forces over the next two days. Tecumseh, against his concsious, destroyed most of the town in an artillery strike to force the Djuns out.

In the letter he informs the Djun with the loss at the batte of Chickamauga there is nothing to stand between him and the coast. Tecumseh states he will march all the way to Crest Point burning and destroying everything in his wake along the way leaving nothing but sheer devastation in his wake.
