Arganne Federation
The Arganne Federation, also known as the FED, is a region made up of three provinces, Arganne, Haldorf and Dinant. These three provinces are tied together by a history of oppression and violence at the hand of the Empire. The ruler of the region is King Hubert, the former king of Haldorf. While lords of provinces, the leaders of each province are known as kings or queens due to the independent nature of each province and their unity to the High King Hubert.
Arganne:
Ellana of Azkul, Lord of the province of Arganne, known as the Queen of Arganne
Since it won its independence in 712, Arganne was marked by civil wars, invasions and cataclysms.
However the appointment of Regent Tod Houghen I in 1006 sparked a renewal for Arganne and his eventual coronation led to the beginning of a period of economic prosperity. Now led by Queen Ellana, the free and independent kingdom of Arganne is a flourishing, economically prosperous and militarily powerful with a strong land army, led by the Chimera, and naval power.
The large towns of Arganne, such as Pamoisard and Cliffvale, are known for the great wealth of their inhabitants and educational opportunities, but also for their alleys which contain taverns, brothels, luxury brothels and sepium shops. The population is diverse, made up of humans, elves, blue men and even hobbits.
The legendary Chimere army
That evening, the individual Thur showed up at Iron Fist Manor, looking furious, demanding to speak to Roy Hubert. The latter, busy in his throne room discussing the future of the Arganna Federation, did not really have time to receive him at the time. No matter what was said behind closed doors at this meeting, it appears that the Haldorfian swords will not remain in their sheaths for long, In Nomine Ordo, Caritas and Lux

The Arganese election by force of arms
Year 1014
The elections for a new Argan king were decided not only by vote, but also by iron. The fight was supposed to take place on Wednesday, but torrential rain paralyzed all planned armed clashes. Under the aegis of King Hubert of Haldorf, the forces of the True Faith fought for the pretender to the throne Sebbal of the Snatched, the most willing candidate for good relations between Arganne and Haldorf. We have defeated the other claimants to the throne of Arganne, namely Lacrimar, Thur, Yahid and Hendrick.
Weapons are not enough when the man of the century gives the floor to the man of the century. Thur was named the new King of Arganne. After Saturday's victory over the insurgents, Good King Hubert of Haldorf stands tall and proud on a large pile of logs, surrounded by his court and the troops of the True Faith, believer Bastien Oséric, Chancellor of Arganne and Scholar Romulus of Chimera. He speaks in a loud and clear voice, so that everyone can hear him.
“Soldiers of the One, you fought well to crush the rebellion. Long live the Kingdom of Kafe! That said, the victory is overshadowed by an unfortunate event. Indeed, political shenanigans and corruption led to Thur's election as High King of Arganne. How can we trust this ancient vampire, worshiper of Teratos? Therefore, I solemnly declare that I name myself Lord-Protector of the Arganna Federation and I create the common good arg
annais. I will not rest until the crown is in my hands so that I can return it to a true Argannais who will work for the common good of the nation. (The crowd, carried away by this speech: war, war, war!)
Haldorf:
The Haldorf Province consists of two heavily fortified hill chains—Nupe and Cacheu. The majority of its populace resides in these hills. Different areas Key cities include Nuur, an economic hub and Brahma, renowned for its basilica housing the heart of Saint Notger. The Nupe stronghold, densely populated, features forts across each barony. To the sides of Nupe, the Artoisard and Bornu valleys, populated by cattle breeders, lack significant villages. The western and northern regions are covered by the extensive forests of Segura and the royal wood of Air, used for hunting by the nobility. The Polignac Route, constructed in the 6th century, traverses Haldorf, connecting Arganne, Andore, and the Empire. Throughout its history, Haldorf is noted for its devout peasants, turbulent lords, influential criminal networks, and the pervasive presence of the Church of the True Faith.

Sir Lambert de Bordeleau, Lord of the province of Haldorf, also known as the King of Haldorf
The former imperial province of Haldorf is located between the Empire to the north and Andore to the south, with the Bonaguil River serving as the border with the Empire. This river played a crucial role in the Empire's maritime trade. After Andore voted for independence in 712 CE, the Empire closely monitored the Haldorf-Andore border, considering Haldorf as its new imperial frontier. Despite the Empire's attempts to control Haldorf, rebellion in the province became inevitable. Unlike Andore, the Empire has not recognized Haldorf's independence, leading to an ongoing conflict*.
*As a note, there was some out of game conflict between Haldorf and Empire players over geopolitical rules that needed to be managed by Bicolline. I understand it is a sensitive issue for both groups, so I just wanted to add my personal advice that before playing with this conflict you first get to know the groups involved.
Saint-Denis the Walker and the foundation of Haldorf
Haldorf is said to have been founded in 350 CE when Saint-Denis the Walker built a True Faith religious building on the domaine of Brahma. Saint-Denis had been sent by the church of True Faith at that time an imperial religion, to convert pagans to the True Faith. He was beheaded by local leaders in 370.
According to legend, Saint-Denis walked ten paces, his head in his hands, continuing to preach. It is fitting that Haldorf, known as a bastion of the True Faith, should have such an origin story.
From 350 to 1001 Haldorf’s history was that of any other imperial satellite with a series of imperial governors. Like the rest of the central lands, conflicts with chaotic forces defined the age. In 1006, Emporor Gar III, named a new leader, Hubert. Hubert was already well known for his prowess in battle, his ability to build collations, and his fanatical devotion to the True Faith. Hubert would be the leader to finally fight for Haldorf independence.
First Reign of Hubert:
In 1006, just after the naming of Hubert as governor of Haldorf, Emperor Gar III was assassinated and Gorghor Baey proclaimed himself the new emperor. Hubert refused to serve the new self-proclaimed emperor without the approval of the True Faith. Hubert of Haldorf succeeded in convincing his barons to revolt with the slogan: “Long live free Haldorf!” If the Empire did not submit to the authority of the True Faith, Haldorf would separate.
The two turrets were completed in 1005. In the same year, the Brahma Temple received custody of the relic of Notger's heart and became an important center of pilgrimage. During the summer, Lord Gilles de Kormantin was deposed by a vote of confidence from two-thirds of the barons, and it was the very pious Hubert d'Haldorf, who ascended the lordly throne the following year, marking the beginnings of a new ruling dynasty. 1005:
Independence:
Summer 1008: The province of Haldorf becomes independent. The revolt ceases.
The years 1007 and 1008 were marked by conflicts between the imperial supporters of the True Faith and those who bore allegiance to chaos. During the winter, a sign that the Empire was falling into chaos, the calamities of the Return of the Damned swept through Haldorf's armies, preventing him from taking part in the civil war in the rest of the Empire. After the fall of Vassouras in Dalabheim, the entire court of Haldorf was invited to Brahma for the coronation of Hubert of Haldorf by the Manus Dei Théobald of Lavignac during a ceremony with great pomp. The new King and his province became officially independent. The Circle of the Rose, the Royal Lily, the Order of the Lion and the Holy Order of the Templars, who were installed in Haldorf pledged allegiance to the good King. A delegation from Arganne also welcomed this coronation and spoke of good neighborliness and even building a bridge. No one in Haldorf suspected that a year later, Arganne would prove to be deceitful and a traitor to their word.
Long planned in secret, the Empire's full-scale blitzkrieg on the province of Haldorf brought the coronation festivities to an abrupt end. It was without much resistance that the Imperial war machine marched towards the very heart of Haldorf to carry out an unprecedented punitive strike.
Lo
War with Andore/War of Three Crowns:
GB1013: Following the Haldorf attacks in Andorian Lands, the armies of Moussillon and Tarpignan mount an assault on the fortifications of Bhrama, and begin a siege there.
The subsequent years saw conflicts, including the Haldorf Invasions and the War of the Three Crowns. The seat of Brahma, besieged in 1014, showcased the defense of Haldorf against Andoran forces. Simultaneously, an election in Arganne saw political turmoil, with King Hubert intervening and declaring himself Lord-Protector, leading to tensions with the elected king, Thur. These events, chronicled in The Holy Scriptures and The Haldorf Chronicles, depict the complex history of Haldorf, shaped by religious fervor, political uph
Besieged throughout the year 1014 by the troops of Brabancourt, the Host of the True Faith defending Brahma could not wait to do battle with the forces of Andore, in order to settle by last stand the case of the siege of domain of Brahma. It is on the plain of the mages that our army gathered, protecting the Good King Hubert of Haldorf and the Emperor Karl Von Shlaffenmark from the enemy armies, the usual people of Brabancourt, Tarpignan, Montfort, the elves, a few Redemptorists dressed like beggars and other people only good for feeding maggots.
We included among us a distinguished guest, Plume de Castenza. He was able to put aside the religious differences that separate us in order to be able to brutalize Duke Arios, known as the traitor, a long-time common enemy. We were joined by Imperial forces shortly after the start of the fight, which was very short-lived. Truly, God help us, this victory was more crushing than the previous one against the cannibalistic Hullsburg heretics. We thank all our allies, natural and otherwise, mentioning the vital importance of our elite skirmishers, the Gaurydrims. Without them, victory would have been uncertain. Long live the Kingdom of Haldorf and long live Good King Hubert!

On the other hand, the province of Haldorf and its allies humiliated Gorghor Baey by razing the monument erected in his honor as retaliation for the affronts he had inflicted on the True Faith...
The list is still long, but this looming war will undoubtedly inflame the entire region and very quickly risks igniting the rest of the world. The position you take in this major and complex conflict is up to you, but know that the winner of this war will shape the history of our world for decades to come. It's up to you to choose in which humanity you want to live...
2019 he Haldorfian capital has fallen, but survivors still refuse to leave. The Andorian and Imperial armies hunt the last survivors from the ruins. First, the imperial allies must defend the great gate of Brahma. Gorghor's cannon is the pillar of an impenetrable defense that the Phoenix will face without success. Much like their emblem, the men of Berkwald rise from the ashes time and time again, and their courage and perseverance in the face of adversity can be praised.
1019: Roughly a year and a half after the start of the Haldorf War, the enemy capital, Brahma, fell to the combined assaults of the Imperials and Andorians. A symbol if ever there was one, the Brahma Cathedral was razed under the orders of Baron Robert who participated in the final attack. Although Haldorf is not yet imperial, it has lost more than two thirds of its buildings, fortifications, garrisons and armies. The Empire has inevitably demonstrated its power and perseverance when it comes to exercising the will of its Serene Highness. For his part, Glahul must add a fourth verse to “Our specialty”.
During a second assault, the gunners, accompanied by Sac à Puces and a few men from Nemesis, managed, despite being outnumbered, to hold the western front for almost the entire conflict. They have the opportunity to face the consequence of the incessant escalation of violence: an eight-to-one cannon of the true faith. The gunners also have the chance to punish Gilles Marcus Flaminius for his presumption in having fought for the enemy, notwithstanding his alleged diplomatic reasons.

ldorf, the home of the righteous and the birthplace of ancient emperors; located in the center of the known world and bordered by the borders of Irendille, Andora and the Empire.
The boots of many warriors have trodden this field of honor for centuries, and countless numbers have found their final resting place there. Local customs even suggest that the scarlet roses that grow in these lands are watered with the blood of the brave who have perished in these places over the years. Whether during the feudal wars between 1001 and 1004, the battles for independence which followed, those of the union with the kingdom of Arganne in 1009, the War of the Three Crowns or the conflict with Andore in the shadow of Brahma's fortifications. The resilient Haldorfian populace probably has a blatant and pronounced taste for martial events.
For almost ten years, the best fighters in the region have been competing to win the kingdom's esteemed tournament: champions like Hector and Targon of the Order of the Lion, the paladin Deagon, Yves Jacques le Pied- bot… In order to celebrate the coronation of Hubert of Haldorf as High King of the Arganna Federation, the Haldorf tournament this year takes on proportions worthy of the wars that took place there. Adorned in their carefully arranged flamboyant colors, the fighters of the Host of the Saint-Reliquaire inaugurate the jousts of the celebration. However, such an event attracts people of all kinds. In the royal forest, located within the limits of the stronghold of Artoisard, several scoundrels of all kinds gather together hoping to be able to plunder the surrounding area while the noble people are busy at the tournament. Others, however, aspire, through their unquenchable desire to prove themselves in the eyes of their dark gods, to monopolize all the honor destined for them. Under the invitation of Grand Prior Wiss Norrisson, the bravado and the fights also begin in this camp in order to elect the dark champions who will cover themselves with glory!
Dinant :
A little over three centuries ago, Andore became an independent kingdom which would experience its golden age with the birth of more than seven provinces. Dinant was the second to see the light of day and one of the most prosperous and loyal that the kingdom would know. But things change, evolve and time takes its course. Lord Artagnan could never have imagined the turn of events.
ay it be sure of all citizens of the New Republic of Dinant and allied lands that:
For supporting Morcius--Grand Khan of the cursed lands of Garganesh, Apprentice of the Mummy Isphet and cause of the latter's return to our world, Wizard of Skulls, and supposed to be the Demon of the Underworld named Tenamuahc--in his attempt and ultimately success to reach the post of Scholar, the following persons are considered de facto illegal and heretic of the worst kind:
Varania Do'Denir, Queen of Nasgaroth
Hugo Bartez, Charlatan and Imperial Sorcerer
By this decree, it is the task of all Dinantais and Dinantaise, by decree lord, and all followers of the Burning Flame, by divine decree, to hunt down the felons and apprehend them so that they are questioned by the Inquisition and subjected to judgment by the Brazier.
Let it also be certain that any individual collaborating or maintaining any relationship with the said felons will be considered accomplices, both in the eyes of the Inquisition and the militia and the Free Army of Dinant.
What's more, the felon Hugo Bartez sees himself on the field being considered ungodly and excommunicated from the Goddess and her dogmas. We also urge the Solarite Lectorate and its representatives to do the same, given the severity of the actions of the Felon towards all the principles that the Goddess represents.
It should be noted that the other supporters of Morcius, such as the necromancer Veldruk, were already on the Dinantaise and Inquisitivee blacklist and that this decree only strengthens this position.
The Ardent Inquisition with the support and decree of office from Clowake Eldaloth de Grossouvre, Seigneur de Dinant, make this decree official on the field.
Wisdom and Courage.

Dinant 1017,
Since the declaration of independence of the province in November 1014, the links between Andore and Dinant had experienced ups and downs, but never, O never, had it been so sharp. Dinant loudly proclaimed its independence and only asked to free itself from the tyranny of a nobility weighed down by the ravages of time. Andore for its part cried out for the High Treason of a guild having sworn loyalty to the throne of the kingdom since its welcome by Henryk de Brabancourt himself.
The cannons of Moussillon first resonated in Grossouvre and Séverac. The general staff, thinking they could put an end to it quickly, were surprised by the resilience of Lord Clowake who defended his borders at the risk of his life. Andore raised its armies and again Dinant resisted. Sir Edouard de Tarpignan launched all his troops in a final assault at the same time as Clowake's allies responded to counter the invader.
The bards and minstrels are already preparing their songs and laments, because the fate of Dinant will be decided on the morning of the fourth day of November 1017. Will you be part of history during this memorable battle?
Summer 1023: Réservak is elected lord of Dinant.
Spring 1023: Clowake must leave his position as lord of Dinant because no domain is in his name. An election will take place at Great Battle 1023.
Spring 1019: Clowake de Grossouvre replaces A'maël Féannar as lord of the province.
October 1018: His Majesty Hubert of the Argan Federation requests a regional vote on an Edict: We desire an alliance and merger between the Argan Federation and the province of Dinant? The Edict is accepted with 16 votes. The lord of Dinant A'maël Féannar agrees to join the Federation, a decision which is immediately followed by the agreement of the ambassador Tod the Scarlet. On this 13th day of October 1018, the province of Dinant is now part of the Argan Federation. This alliance now makes the peace treaty signed with Andore during the Great Ball of 1018 null and void.
November 1017: Following the Invasions of Dinant, the province remains an independent territory and cannot be annexed by Andore for a period of two years.
August 1017: Following the election, A'maël Féannar is elected lord of Dinant.
Spring 1017: Lord Clowake no longer has a domain in the province so the title of lord will be put up for election at the great battle 1017. The province is meanwhile without a lord.
February 1016: During the evening of Solara in Andore, Clowake of Salmarak is proclaimed Lord of Dinant by Quentak. Everything is done in the presence of a large majority of property titles. Any challenge to this appointment will result in a seigneurial election.
Battle 1015: Quentak replaces Davidak of Salmarak.
Battle 1014: The province of Dinant leaves the kingdom of Andore to become an independent province.
Winter 1011: The lord is Salmarak of Buy.
At the creation of the Kingdom of Ozame, in the year 712 of the first era, the part of Andore which is today the province of Dinant almost became part of Ozame. The use of knowledge stones was necessary to decide because the population was so undecided. Nowadays Dinant maintains excellent relations with this neighboring and friendly Kingdom.
Following the independence of the Kingdom of Andore, the province of Dinant experienced an era of prosperity. Renowned for its hunting grounds and its hospitable climate, Dinant has become, with the expansion of Andore, a coveted space. The year 987 saw the eldest Artagnan, then aged 25, take power thanks to the popular vote. Since the beginning of the 8th century, the Artagnan family has been based in Lucheux in Chalucet. The family castle was completed in the mid-9th century and the Grossouvre estate contains the family's ancestral hunting grounds. Lord Artagnan, a worthy representative of his noble family, is renowned for his keen sense of values as well as his blind loyalty to the Kingdom.
It was around the year 1000 that Lord Artagnan decided to more seriously invite guilds and noble families to come and settle in his province. At the time, he had no idea of the excitement that would follow this decision.
The first years of the millennium were shaken by real expansion campaigns in Dinant. Almost all of the strongholds in the province would vibrate to the sound of steel and war machines. The year 1004 finally brought a truce to the clashes and mainly the guilds of Brabancourt, Compagnons du Destin and Montfort established themselves in Dinant.
June 1005: The domain of Harcourt in the lordly stronghold of Chalucet is hit by attacks from the undead. Its leader, Baron Louis de Harcourt, tried in vain to notify Lord Artagnan. A company of adventurers, led by the mage Owen, will succeed in eliminating a necromancer named Dogmatar and thus resolve the situation.
A few days later, the Vaudémont estate, in Villentrois, was engulfed in violent fighting. The war raging in Boistfort spills over there and the forces of Chaos take over the domain. This event did not leave Lord Artagnan indifferent, who reacted promptly by sending forces to the southwest of his province. It was enough to awaken the population of Dinant to the problems of the south of the Kingdom.
January 1006: The barony of Harcourt has been buried in snow for several weeks. For several days now, it has been welcoming groups of mercenaries and hunters who have been pursuing imposing creatures for weeks, which probably come from the hordes of Chaos who fought in the region last summer.
These groups settled at the Manoir de Harcourt which at this season welcomes many trappers starting their trapping season, they come to spend a few days there for the final preparations before leaving for long months alone on their trap lines.
The arrival of the "foreigners" did not go unnoticed, both because of their equipment
Fall 1022: Lord Légarto Déoro withdraws his support from the Red Gulf moving from Berkwald to the Arganna Federation. The Arganna Federation loses control of the Ocean of Mists. Lord Ella Cusek withdraws Seahorse Ocean support from the Argan Federation and gives it to Berkwald.
Summer 1019: Slaves having been used for construction, the anti-slavery edict is void.
Spring 1019: Slaves having been used for construction, the anti-slavery edict is void.
October 1018: Royal Edict of the Argan Federation, On this historic day, October 13, 1018 marks the beginning of a new era. The alliance and merger between the Arganne Federation, initially composed of the provinces of Arganne and Haldorf, and the province of Dinant was unanimously ratified by the members present of the regional council. The lord of Dinant A'maël Féannar, a worthy representative of her people, also agreed to the proposal. The alliance of kingdoms came to fruition with the blessing of Ambassador Tod the Scarlet. Let this be known and known.
Battle 1018: His Majesty Hubert of Haldorf now declares the Argan Federation to be anti-slavery. The vote passes by majority.
August 1016: His Majesty Hubert de l'Orme replaces His Majesty Kalin I as sovereign of the Argan federation.
February 1016: His Majesty Kalin I is the sovereign of Arganne.
The Arganne Federation comes from the union of the provinces of Arganne and Haldorf. During the Arganne invasions of Haldorf in 1009, King Tod conquered Haldorf. The provinces united to form the Federation in 1010. In 1018, following the independence of the province of Dinant from Andore, the free Dinant chose to join the Federation.
But also the contradictions, even the hypocrisy, of the Three Crowns in the face of slavery, reinstated in Arganne from the coronation of King Tod 1st, while the King of Kafe for his part rebels against the fact that the commercial waters of the west are used for this traffic...

Imperial Tensions
Prince Nakan Ossan of Jabba Hal decided to settle in the central lands and chose the kingdom of Argane for the start of his conquest. To clean up this region and establish a bridgehead before his arrival, he hired the most famous but above all the cruelest mercenary in the world of Bicolline, the much-feared Gorgor Baey. The news had a devastating effect on the population of the kingdom of Argane, a wave of panic seized its inhabitants, many of them had already begun to flee to find refuge in the lands of the Kingdom of Andore. Prince Nakan Ossan would have paid a colossal sum to Gorgor Baey for the needs of the cause, the figure of 12,000 solars has been put forward. A gigantic army of mercenaries equipped with several siege engines is gathering along the Bonaguil River north of Argane.
To face such a threat, the kingdom of Argane called on the Castenza mercenary troop, led by General Armand Mc Allister. The entire defense of the territory is based on Fort Pamoise, an advanced post located in the center of an essential parade, an obligatory passage to reach the center of Argane. General Armand Mc Allister has the difficult task of guarding the Pamoise outpost and preventing the invasion of Argane. The king of Argane, Léotaut I, sent emissaries to the neighboring provinces to obtain their support and he gave Armand Mc Allister a very large sum of money.

The Argane Liberation Campaign
Today, Emir Jazzaar Hezaam Al-Maqad is given the role of Ambassador of Jabba Hal and representative of the Transcendent Prince Nakkan Ossan in the Argane Liberation campaign. The Beneficent Prince Nakkan Ossan having seen the troops led by Viakta defend freedom and be annihilated by the tyrannical forces of the imperialist lords, His Majesty decided to establish himself in the Central Lands in order to share the Wealth coming from Freedom and of Tolerance, which are virtues acquired in the Land of Sands. He chose the area of Argane for geographical proximity, but above all to take it as an example, since taxes there are three times higher than even in the surrounding monarchical regimes. The Great Prince intends to offer this country freedom from totalitarian oppression, but also economic prosperity through the unparalleled trade possibilities of Jabba Hal, as well as cultural prosperity through the exchange of science and good graces between the 'Argane and the Magnificent City.
His Splendid Majesty also emphasizes that no harm or harm will be done to the good people of Argane, and that his armies will only fight those who raise arms against them. The Salvetier Prince Nakkan Ossan intends to bring freedom and prosperity to the people of Argane, and he has taken the means of a quick and decisive victory to avoid causing them harm. The Exalted Prince is also counting on the enthusiasm of the liberated peoples, who are invited to take up arms against their oppressors. It has happened many times in the past that Jabba Hal's troops were welcomed with open arms by the people they came to liberate, and that these people fought on the side of the Sultan's armies against the monarchs who should have been their protectors. For this represents the very spirit of the Land of Sands; take the weak and the oppressed and make them Strong.
And to those who do not fight for their freedom or for any cause other than their own, he reminds that he paid 12,000 solars to the Horde of Gorghor Beay so that the latter assembles a force capable of realizing the virtuous intentions of his Generous Magnificence.
