The Long Claw of the Republic
January 1, 1014 - May 24, 1014
Within mere months, the Republic has thrown off its defensiveness and marched to war, not once, but twice. Under the leadership of President-Marshal Alexander Kemerskai Jr., the armies of the Republic surged west into Vedina and then east into Whitetail, shattering monarchist regimes and redrawing the map of northern Griffonia.
The first strike came without warning. Over thirty divisions of hardened Republican troops assembled along the Vedinan frontier, even as monarchist envoys pleaded for diplomacy. Their pleas fell on deaf ears. With the stroke of a pen, war was declared.
The Republican Army swept through the Vedinan countryside with precision. Cities fell in rapid succession, and within a month the Kingdom of Vedina, one of the last remaining bulwarks of western monarchism, lay in ruins. Its banner was torn down; the republican eagle flew in its place.
Second, with Vedina secured, the same army pivoted east, now marching into the frostbitten mountains of Whitetail. The terrain was brutal, and the enemy stubborn, but the republicangriffs advanced inch by inch. After a month of hard fighting, they seized Brantbeak, the enemy capital. One month later, the Kingdom of Whitetail was no more.
Two wars. Two victories. And now, two new provinces to administer.
Victory, however, has its price. The occupation of Vedina and Whitetail has strained the Republic’s logistics and thinned its manpower. In response, the President-Marshal has issued a sweeping decree: universal conscription. All civiliangriffs of the Republic are now required to serve in some capacity within the Armed Forces. The age of the citizen-soldier has fully arrived.
With its northern and eastern flanks secure, the Republic now turns its gaze southward. The Aquileian Empire has triumphed over the Griffonian Empire and now holds the ancestral heartlands of the Griffon race.
