Ours is a grand and noble Kingdom. Gawed war born of necessity and struggle, ours are a tough and proud people who will always fight for what is theres. We do not bow to others, but instead command it in others. The eagle that marks our banners is as proud as our history and traidtions. Many claim that is Lorent or others who have real culture but they are nothing compared to us. OUr borders have shifted back and forth over the centures and we have claims on near everything around us, onyl strength is needed ot take it. Recently the Empire to the south has been locked in wars that have almost destroyed it. For years we have waited for this opportunity. The fools in the south are weakened by their pathetic little Lilac Wars, now is the time to strike! 

The Reachmen cities in the north are a big opporunity for expansion, they are undefended by the empire or Lorent and will prove great assets to our trading routes. If we were to secure the north we would gain valuable ports and a navy as well as the strong northmen who would be a great compliment to our own forces. With the help of them we will be able to form a new Empire of the North, perhaps destroying the south can wait. In order to do this there are many powerful groups to deal with, it is not a sure thing by any measure.

When one thinks of the people of Lorent only one word should come to mind; decadence. Those pompous bastards think they are better than us, born of nothing but summer lands and fat farmstock. In the north we Gawedi's have learned through toil and strength. We have beat them many times and unfortunately they us. Our rivalry is without end, and nothing could ever convince a true Gawedi to not hate those Elvenkin. They are weak from the recent wars and that provides us an opportunity, we had best sieze it for all our ancestors who died fighting them. Even though Lorent is weakened by the Wars, they are still a considerable threat.

The lands to the west spell untold opportunity and wealth. However, we no longer have a navy nor any lands which touch the sea. This is unacceptable and one of our biggest priorities should be the securing of ports by which we can learn to sail once more and go west. The colonial wealth that can be found in the land of the Elves should not be ignored. Those damned elves in Lorent will doubtless do the same, we cannot let them gain the upper hand!
