Recovering from sore throat now, not to mention some flu-like symptoms earlier today. By doing this post, it will only mean one thing: I'm now a certified compulsive freak who believes in self-perfection. Thankfully, I don't have to make ridiculous demands out of others. But then again, this might be the reason why I nvr got a gf since birth. Sad, huh? I think my laobu is getting sian liao over having this kind of problematic son lol!
INTRO: The High Realm of Teutonia is a military man’s world, only fools will dare their luck. Famous for its code of chivalry and fearsome knights, this is the only kingdom firmly believing in the Old Ways. Despising the cowardly Kalarans for abandoning their pride and uncouth Slarveans rejecting their roots, Teutonia's status as a militaristic realm is further cemented through high ground and forests as borders. With very little options available for smooth crossing, enemy troops more oft than not find themselves dead before entering the Inner Circle.

INTRO: The High Realm of Teutonia is a military man’s world, only fools will dare their luck. Famous for its code of chivalry and fearsome knights, this is the only kingdom firmly believing in the Old Ways. Despising the cowardly Kalarans for abandoning their pride and uncouth Slarveans rejecting their roots, Teutonia's status as a militaristic realm is further cemented through high ground and forests as borders. With very little options available for smooth crossing, enemy troops more oft than not find themselves dead before entering the Inner Circle.
BORDER TERRAIN:
Otherwise known as the Outer Circle, Teutonia boasts of having the
most difficult terrain ever. A combination of high ground and thick forest, different
terrain will always offer different dangers.
BORDER DEFENCE:
Outposts situated at mountains tend to be larger while those hidden
within the forests are known to be actual settlements. Mountain outposts span
from one peak to another with walls and towers made of stone. Behind the walls,
each outpost will have an army at least two thousand strong with reserve troops
doubling up as messengers. Settlements within the forest terrain, better known
as hamlets, tend to be much smaller comparatively with civilians assuming the militia
role whenever need arises.
However, it
is also interesting to note that such commoners also serve an important, albeit
unsung, task. Known as Pathfinders, they also help out in delivering relief
supplies should reinforcements fail to arrive in time.
One
interesting aspect of its border terrain lies in the fact that the only possible
route for mass incursion lies in crossing the numerous fords available. Hence
it will take a good commander to get around the obstacles and defeating whatever
soldiers guarding their ground as defensive deployment will gain upper hand
through coordination between surrounding outposts and hamlets. Even if the
enemy manages to breach the border, forts forming the Inner Circle are sure to
mount a stubborn defence.
INNER CIRCLE:
Named after the manner in which its fourth reigning High Lord, King Ursulf
I, organised the inner defences, the Inner Circle is literally a circle of
forts surrounding the Middle Plains. Beyond that end lies a mixture of
grassland, woodland, and hillocks. This will be where knights are stationed
normally together with peasant archers behind the walls or perched high up on
the hillocks. Hidden within the forests are the woodsmen armed with their axes
and fury.
