Game: Shogun II
Mod: DarthMod
Faction: Mori

We are the Mori. Our lands are our sanctuary. From the whispering winds in the dense forests to the ebb and flow of the glistening sea, our ancestors speak to us still. Such is the spirit of the Mori. It would be quite impossible to stand on our forested mountains, looking out over the sea in the morning, and not stand in awe at the rising sun. But how our ancestors must gnash their teeth and wring their hands at the meagre existence we eke out for ourselves. Our rolling lands are fertile and greatly blessed in abundance by the gods. Sad, then, that we have squandered the opportunities that we have; that we have remained ignorant to the fortune afforded to us.

Doesn't matter- It's extended for another month of entry if there's less than five candidates. I might enter. Need more chapters before I do.

The third and final Rome II AAR I will be presenting, and the first with second person elements, will follow the still continuing struggle of the Thracian Odrysian Kingdom to achieve dominance over the Balkans, the eastern Mediterranean, and beyond. Initially focusing on four legendary kings, it will be updated regularly depending on readership. Historical research will be done to make this a both informative an entertaining read, for fans of Rome II AARs or casual readers interested in this mix of Hellenic and Barbarian culture. And Rhomphaias. Excessive Rhomphaias.

The AARs above are so good that it feels like presumption to enter mine! I'm learning from the kind feedback which has been given; if anyone would like to suggest ways of improving my writing, please let me know.
