[b]Essanory Kingdom[/b]
3000 Troops began to move into untold lands, 1500 to both the north and west (38,39). Natives where at first aggressive, arming themselves to face the attackers. That was until they realised the colour of the troops coats. They quickly surrendered to the Essanory Kingdom, the tale of what happened to the last tribe had travelled throughout the land and they knew of the Essanory “Demon” men. The tribes joined the kingdom, but mostly out of fear of what would happen if they didn’t.
