Introductions
Along the Western border of Firanos close to their small beaches a Fort sits close to a set of hills and some woods. It has been erected as a forwards alarm in case of an attack on their people, yet a battle has indeed begun to the South. Aeregosians have somehow gotten to their shores with a decently sized force and began to march towards the capital. With Wyrm Riders and Storm Warriors along with a group of Wind Callers it seems like they've been trying to slip through to perhaps assassinate the King or deal a powerful blow to the city. However Firanos scouts have discovered the army and with a few returning Seron has been charged with heading the defense of Firanos with his Phoenix Guards. However, the tactician that is Seron noticed that the size of their force is insulting to Firanos. To take their city truly a larger army would be needed and he has suspected that it is a ruse. While he mounts the defense and prepares for a battle he has tasked Brevsin with defending one of the important tools of Firanos in case it is the true target. In the small Fort to the West is a captured Wyrm Rider of Aeregos. The man is believed to have important information about the patrols, trade, and troop movements of Aeregos. After capturing him with the help of a hunter he has been kept in the Fort under guard hoping his presence would be kept a secret. They intended to keep the man sedated along with his Wyrm until a royal interrogator could arrive to grill the man for everything he knows before they would execute him and his Wyrm. Their wish was to keep him away from the capital where if loosed his Wyrm could deal a lot of damage. Seron dispatched Brevsin with two Phoenix Guards of his choosing to ensure that the two stay under their control.
It was mid day currently with the sun high in the sky. Brevsin was upon one of the towers along the wall currently in the mostly wooden Fort. Talmu Salamander were patrolling the inside of the walls searching for fire, since a widespread fire could be very dangerous to the fort itself. Pikemen were split up at both entrances, two guarding each one currently. Many of the men were in the barracks with two Swordsmen stood around the Wyrm guarding it. Currently Crispus was at the jail along with two Spearmen and Cael was by the Wyrm. Albanus was resting in the North West barracks currently. There was a captured Wyrm Rider also in the Jail in the Easternmost cell. Those resting in the barracks had much of their gear in the armory currently while the storage house was full of their food and simpler supplies.
Kaizen had heard of the capture of a Wyrm Rider that had been out scouting at the command of Empress. The man was known for his love of the Dragons. Originally they had planned to cut their loss believing them to be dead but one of their forwards scouts happened to have been watching the Fort he was transported to. Realizing that Aeregosian secrets may be in the hands of Firanos a plan was put into motion. Using the water ways from Paladin's Grove they transport a small Army to the East followed by a smaller force. The Army was going to head towards Firanos and feint an attack as the smaller force which Kaizen was a part of would strike the Fort. Three Wyrmborn would be joining him in their task force one of which was an older warrior, a veteran of the war. It was his plan to stage this entire feint and hit tactic. They would be arriving from the South among the hills while the ground troops would come from the North in the forest. Their ground troops would direct the attention of others towards the walls and outside as they tried to fight their way in while the Wyrmborn and Kaizen would seek out the Wyrm Rider and his mount to free them.
It was roughly mid day as Kaizen could see the Fort in the distance. There were guards positioned around the openings to the Fort and it seemed like they were not expecting the striking force. A man was standing atop a wooden tower and while he didn't look like a standard soldier Kaizen had no idea who he was. Qing was waiting for the signal of the sounds of battle when the ground troops would engage the guards. Kaizen could join with their aerial infiltration into the Fort or he could aid the ground troops in distracting the defenses. Up above the sun was bright without a cloud in a sky. Aeregosian soldiers were preparing to assault the Eastern wall and try to force their way in. They had little understanding of the layout but knew that the Wyrm would be in the Eastern side of the camp and its Rider in the Western side. Talmu were also known to be within but truly they are not dangerous creatures except in extreme situations. It was also known that they would have to act fast, for after it was discovered that the army marching East was already heading back West their would be reinforcements heading to the Fort. Upon being discovered those within might even try to kill the Wyrm since the creature is so dangerous.

Abilities: None
Faction: Aeregos
Name: Shui
Appearance: Shui is a female that is quite tall with green scaled skin and claws upon her hands and feet. She is a bit thin for a Wyrmborn, this is mostly evidence due to her height. Her head is shaved along with her eyebrows and some might have difficulty telling her gender.
About: A Wyrmborn of Aeregos, Shui was once a fledgling Wind Caller. For war she was brought onto the frontlines with the intent of using her wind magic to make a difference. However it was far to weak to project much more than armor, though unbeknownst to her superiors she was an experienced fighter after practicing against the monks of her temple. During a battle the lines of Wind Callers were threatened by a quick moving skirmisher but she dropped her magical duties and picked up a fallen sword to engage the would be assassin. After killing them she was inducted into the Wyrmborn to better make use of her talents.
Equipment: 2 War Pick, Green Cloth Uniform.

Faction: Aeregos

The man still is quite well toned with a long pointed mustache hanging from his face. He has claws upon his hands and feet along with scaled wings, his skin is a pale green in color while his eyes are blue.
About: A Wyrmborn of Aeregos, Qing is an old veteran that started his career at a young age. The son of a soldier, and grandson of a soldier Qing knew that he would need to continue their blood line. His father was actually called to war while his sister offered to their father’s place since Qing was in poor health, to prove women were just as good of soldiers. Qing however told her that she had a future elsewhere and that he was the one training to be a warrior along with the fact that he would become healthier in time. He also brought up how there are already many women serving in the military and that there was nothing to prove. Qing went off to train with others whom which were impressed with his work. He was known for quick thinking and using his brain rather than his body to effect battles around him. After managing to defeat a group of blackguard using simply a group of rocks on a mountain pass he was promoted with a focus upon planning battles rather than taking up a role in them. They noticed that his tactics were more suited to Scaravus and while this turned off many of his contemporaries others recognized the need for such tactics. Growing wiser with age he altogether would avoid combat to simply watch from camps and hills trying to ensure as many men and women would come home to their families. Eventually he was blessed for his service to join the Wyrmborn and help plan their battles. With his health declining the man has been taking more hands on approaches wishing to die in the service rather than at home. Qing had a small part in the planning of the taking of Paladin’s Grove which gained him even more prestige, though as said it was only a small part dealing with their possible retreat.
Equipment: Naginata, Green Cloth Uniform.
Abilities: Qing may slam his foot into the ground and cause a ten foot tall two foot thick wall of stone to rise quickly.

About: A Wyrm Rider of Aeregos, Wei is a young and experienced rider known for his passion for the Wyrms. After hearing about Xuan and his hatred of the Wyrms this man rushed off to try and protect them from the Wyrm Hunter. After spending his time defending their hunting grounds the man stumbled across one and felt drawn to it. Seeking to keep the noble creature safe he felt that perhaps by becoming its rider he could ensure its safety for much of its life. Rather than being tasked with charging into battle on the back of his new mount, the man was suggested to be a scout of sorts. Patrolling areas and also spying on the enemies from the sky. One night while resting in their meager camp Wei was stumbled upon by a group of Firanos warriors searching for him after seeing him in the skies. Using fungus they managed to drug him and his Wyrm and keep them in a comatose state, using groups of wagons along with horses to drag the Wyrm back into Firanos. Using the creature as a way to weaken the man, by threatening to injure it they plan to use his own passion against him.

About: A Phoenix Guard of Firanos, Crispus actually started as a Fire Magi. He was somewhat known for being unruly up until being properly trained for military service to soften out his edges. In battle it was discovered that frequently he would try to get in close while using his fire magic and that he would take up the weapons of his fallen brethren to engulf them in flames and use them to kill enemies. Seing his interest in physical combat combined with his magical prowess it was only natural to induct him into the Phoenix Guard. Due to his fire capabilities during his right he was barely even touched by the flames and survived with passing colors.

After defending the man and ensuring he was healed, Seron came to somewhat know the Soldier. With the two speaking it was discovered that Caelinus wished to become a Phoenix Guard, as such he was given the opportunity to train and join with them. The training was simple enough and after going through his Rite the man surprised others with his survival. Caelinus then went on to fight in his first battle helping to deal with the flanks of the Firanos army against the Ekros, though little could be done from his position. The creatures frightened the man and ever since engaging them would do his best to get positions to the South and West.

After killing his first Taeloron by setting up a large pit for it to fall to its death inside of, he was blessed slightly. However he got more praise for the stalking and capture of a Wyrm which he masterminded. After spotting the creature in the sky, he formed a plan and after waiting for when it would need to rest he sought the camp of its rider out. Using fungus he knew of from his earlier days he drugged the two and used wagons to bring them back to Firanos. Hoping to kill the dragon after the information has been extracted from the rider, Albanus is becoming more and more known.
Equipment: Weighted Net, Pike, Fur lined Leather Armor, Smoke Bomb.
Abilities: Albanus can light his weapon on fire.
Spear Infantry - Spearmen - The spearmen of Aeregos are quick on their feet and wield long spears. Typically these fighters wear green uniforms.
Light Infantry - Fencer - Wielding rapiers the soldiers of Aeregos prefer mobility and quick slashes in combat. Typically they wear tight green uniforms that allow them to be recognizable without slowing or impeding them in any way. Generally in one on one combat they are more effective but when dealing with heavily armored or numbered foes they are less effective.
Medium Infantry - Monks -Unarmed warriors that move quick using the wind to guide their strikes. Each punch is enhanced by a small burst of force and while they do not wear much armor are quite deadly up close. Dodging is a favored tactic of theirs.
Heavy Infantry - Guardians - Samurai like warriors, the Guardians descend from an ancient line of soldiers of Aeregos. History is quite important to them along with old teachings. In combat they wield Nodachi into combat and they wear Kabuto, Dou or do, Sode, Kote, Mengu, Haidate, Tekko, Mempo, and Suneate made of Iron and Leather. Their role is in defending against large numbers of lightly armor infantry. The weapons they wield can easily cleave through flesh and slice off body parts, though due to the design their weapons are not effective at blocking. As such they prefer to dodge. Against heavy armor they aren’t effective at all.
Ranged Infantry - Archers - Aeregosian archers are trained to notice the wind easily, wind effects their arrows much less as they take it into account with every shot. Otherwise they are simply archers.
Special Unit 3 - Wyrm Riders - Those patient warriors of Aeregos who wish to truly test their skills go out hunting for the ancient Wyrms of the land. They do not intend to kill the mythical creatures and instead spend hours to weeks taming the creatures before returning home riding atop them. These warriors are inducted into the Order of Wind, led by Nabo himself. Normally they wield long spears and wear iron helmets but their true use comes in the form of a Dragon in the sky. Resistant to arrows at parts of their bodies, with large claws, tails, and mouths these creatures can rip apart man and armor like they are nothing.
Strike Team/Infiltration/Battlefield/Treasure Hunting/Bounty Unit 1 - Wyrmborn(Strike Force) - The Wyrmborn of Aeregos are blessed by the Meragia and have taken on draconic aspects. With scaled skin, claws, and dragon wings. They are capable of tucking in their wings to hide them somewhat but are capable of short flight and gliding. Normally they only carry war picks, these warriors otherwise can easily use their clawed hands and feet for combat. With incredibly speed the Wyrmborn are able to strike quickly using their quickness for heavy initial strikes on foes. Other than their skin they wear little armor allowing them to be even more mobile.
Strike Team/Infiltration/Battlefield/Treasure Hunting/Bounty Unit 2 - (Strike Force) - Phoenix Guards - Led by Seron. The most elite units in Firanos and quite rare. Phoenix guard typically wear heavy armor, in their right hands are often burning broadswords while with their left hands they cast short range fire magic. They are capable of making very quick charges fueled by fire launching from their backs propelling them forwards, with flaming wings upon their backs it allows them to glide.
Strike Team/Infiltration/Battlefield/Treasure Hunting/Bounty Unit 1 - Hunter(Battlefield) - Those trained in the art of slaying large creatures, the Hunters often carry pikes that end in fire as they are capable of heating their weapons with magic. Some are trained under Xuan, a focus of theirs is to kill off the mythical creatures of other nations making them less common, they especially wish to kill off those that are tamed and used for warfare. Typically they also carry nets which can be lit ablaze after throwing them onto creatures.
Special Unit 3 - Talmu Salamander - Large Salamander almost the size of a horse, these creatures breath thick smoke which can obscure vision and choke those around them. Their bodies are pitch black in color and are capable of using their bellies for suffocating fires. The Firanos deploy them to put out fires among their own lines so that their normal infantry do not burn to death due to possible recklessness. It’s blood is used in the creature of their leathers since boiling armor in it will make it highly resistant to fire. Due to their mostly peaceful nature these creatures require little direction as they are trained before hand to protect only Firanos soldiers from their own fires. Their hides are not particularly resistant to any weaponry though they are burning hot to the touch. It is possible for them to break thick smoke while moving backwards creating a screen through which none can see.
Spear Infantry - Firanos Spearmen - Simple spear men of Firanos that wear red clothing to denote their faction. There is nothing remarkable about them as they’re simply standard soldiers carrying spears.
Light Infantry - Swordsmen - Normal soldiers that wear simple clothing that is red in color, they wield short swords with one hand and wooden shields with leather coverings in their off hand.
Heavy Infantry - Legionnaires - A Legion of Pike Wielding Iron Masked warriors, they were very loyal to Avertus though after his death they still operate within Firanos. Typically they wear heavy leather armor, though their faces are protected by iron masks. Unlike some of the other units in Firanos they do not use fire in any way, preferring the cold steel of their Pikes.
Ranged Infantry - Archers - Archers of Firanos are not very remarkable. They’re trained well in the use of bows and typically wear red clothing to denote their nation. Typically they also carry short swords for use as back up weapons.

Upon being discovered those within might even try to kill the Wyrm since the creature is so dangerous.

With the two speaking it was discovered that Caelinus wished to become a Phoenix Guard, as such he was given the opportunity to train and join with them. The training was simple enough and after going through his Rite the man surprised others with his survival. Caelinus then went on to fight in his first battle helping to deal with the flanks of the Firanos army against the Ekros, though little could be done from his position. The creatures frightened the man and ever since engaging them would do his best to get positions to the South and West.

About: A Hunter of Firanos, Albanus has always had an interested in the challenge of hunting creatures. At a young age he started out merely killing deer and other such beings with throwing spears. However after hearing of beings such as the Talmu, his eyes were drawn towards hunting larger game. After killing his first Taeloron by setting up a large pit for it to fall to its death inside of, he was blessed slightly. However he got more praise for the stalking and capture of a Wyrm which he masterminded. After spotting the creature in the sky, he formed a plan and after waiting for when it would need to rest he sought the camp of its rider out.

Against heavy armor they aren’t effective at all.
Ranged Infantry - Archers - Aeregosian archers are trained to notice the wind easily, wind effects their arrows much less as they take it into account with every shot. Otherwise they are simply archers.
Special Unit 3 - Wyrm Riders - Those patient warriors of Aeregos who wish to truly test their skills go out hunting for the ancient Wyrms of the land.
