Introduction:
We are a People, yet we are One.
We are Men, yet we are Strong.
This land was once divided. I brought it together. Fifteen years ago, I brought us together. I made our people strong. We have brought upon a new dynasty. For now we are free. We will always be free. Of course, the Arche was not pleased. They felt our expansion was an attempt at their power. They became worried we would revolt. This means one thing…They are scared……… They should be. They are our allies, but not for long. A new Kingdom has risen. We will rule. The Arche will fall, and WE WILL RISE!!!!!
Spring 15 UOP (272BC)
Since our kingdom rose, fifteen years have passed. Currently we are strong and our purses overflow with gold. We, the Pahlava, have risen into a new era in which we are a major factor in the creating of it. I have made our kingdom what it was and what it is.
At the start of the New Year, I have issued a decree to establish a new dating system. It shall be measured from when the nation of Pahlava was united. I plan on our country using this from now on.
Shortly after I made that decree, I was advised to fix all currently needed administrative problems. While we were in fact a rich country, we were losing money. Our armies were too large and our provinces too small to support each other. I had already greatly depleted our armies last season, but I was required to make some more cuts.

I have sent word to second army to relieve them of duty. I have yet to receive word back and I hope my son-in-law isn’t too rash. He is a rebellious spirit and I hope he doesn’t do anything to cause war with the Arche. We can’t afford this now. But, if it comes to this, I will fight. All taxes were raised in all areas, to accommodate our current army. While the people are content with our taxes, they are angered buy our lack of local governments. I have ordered construction on a temporary government. It should be function over the year.
Ahh, I have almost forgotten. It would be wise of me to state my name, since many kings will read this text and they will wonder who there ancestor was who united all of Pahlava. I am the first of the great Pahlav Kings. I am Phrapates e Dahaen.
[[[[Next chapter will be up tommorrow. This is sort of the Introduction. Please tell me if the sepia tone annoys you. I was going for a more antique feel. UOP stands for Unity of Parthia, if someone has a more accurate language and a translation for that please let me know]]]]]
