Prince

Some speculate that Jehanne was the first of the Verance Federation that developed the magic roots. She seemed can tap the potential of her soldier at every battle they fought. The rage that powering the mind and body, and her vision about the battle she must fought then the 'person' that she claimed to be a saint. Everything would made some sense if she had developed the magic root. But what power that actually growing inside her is still unknown.

The next clue was because around five years later after the battle of Roles Fort, some of the soldier that took part on the campaign have a feeling about the change at their body. One of them can sense or feel the matter around him, an arrow from 300 meters can't get him. Another can't get burned by fire, heatproof then some years later on his military career he could control fire around him and becomes the first fire mage of the kingdom. And some other that later become the powerhouse that drove out the Celtanors back to the Island.

But the Celtanors too getting the identical mysterious power that grown on some men, that happened after the veteran soldier of the Celtanors expeditionary army disbanded and the men back to their tribe. War always change a person, everything that happened to Celtanors and Verance was like a pattern that occured on the face of Avrupa Continent. The siege of Roles Fort happened at Summer 1431 CE, the Celtanors left the mainland of Avrupa at 1450 after simultaneously being defeated on the battlefield and losing defenses of the cities after cities.

Verance - Celtanors war was one of the longest disputes on the history, short term truce and peace made the phase of the war to the fifth phase when Jehanne was at the fourth phase. At the same time the civil war raging on the smaller kingdoms at the eastern Avrupa, tribal lords and kings that have his own territories trying to annexed each other. Bigger needs of food become the main problem of the isolated tribe that miraculously does not affected by the plague or aftermath of the plague.

Kiev years 1457 CE the biggest kingdom on the east Avrupa, now led by the sixteen years old teenager king or in their language Prince Avant the Gallant. The young prince have a great ambitions and a perfectionist side about power, bored of the stagnant life in the city he hunt a lot in the forest. From hare to bear, Avant never back down on the challenges. Mastering all the weapon he can hold, some people saw him as the incarnation of the God of War. Prince Avant never lost both melee or ranged duel, that is how the title 'Gallant' bestowed upon him.

Losing a lot of citizens at the disaster made Kiev's wide area become mostly vacant and under developed in the last thirty or forty long years. Longer winter have become the yearly basis for the easterners of Avrupa. Hunter and farmer were the most common profession of the common people of kiev, farmer when summer and hunter when winter comes. The soldier was the citizen themselves, lack of personnel was the main problem on the guard duty of the city.

There was no guard at the gate of the castle, the royal guard of the prince have been disbanded, all personal guard of the noble dissolved too. All of that is the new rules by the Prince of Kiev, Avant the Gallant. He reorganized the social structures to absolute monarchy, proclaimed himself as the hand of God. He believes that his talent was a gift to unified all kingdoms in the world under the God, one nation under God. Avant was one of a person that have the mage roots developed since he is a baby, talent and treatment was the key for maximum growth.

In a years time of his reign, the population confidences had grown so high. Avant becomes like a prophet that lead the masses, a saviour that sent by the God. The young king rewards the noble by their deeds not their bloodline, a sinner son of a noble will still get the judgement and justice that the same as a sinner beggars. He simplified the task of his men by civil or military service.

The huge change was after he recruit the nomadic Cosaxon tribe into his faction. The Cosaxon was nomadic robber tribe, they live by robbing another tribes or villages, all of them are excellent riders including womens and childrens. The tribal lord of Cosaxon Garrid got into duel with Avant when he cooks some of the prey he got. Garrid lost the duel and serve him afterwards, the Cosaxon tribes following. That coincidence was so absurd but Avant himself believe it was destined. With the needs of personnel, Avant started to diplomatically sent messenger to other tribes and kingdoms even villages around Kiev. Some accepted the offer and join Kiev, some rejected and a lot getting ignored.

Conscription on all able men and women then started, tax raised slightly but Avant made schools free of charge for all children and adult. The teacher was his civil officer and the trainer was his military officer. He believes a person should be able to protecting themselves and their family before protecting the kingdom, eventually he want his people to feel that the kingdom are a huge family to protect. If you can't use your body properly to protect your kingdom, then use your mind. If you can't use your body or your mind to protect the kingdom, then use your possession or wealth. That is the campaign of King Avant the Orthodox, the Gallant, the Saviour.
