Invasion from the east: Saka AAR

[deadmeat36]

Chapter One: A Push Westward [or A Dishonored Son]

Warning: The history I am about to give is not historical but what fits my AAR

We the Sakaians have been displaced by war, famine, and disease. The so called civilized people of the east have come into our lands and devistated our people and now expect us to leave them alone. We have been pushed west by them hoping to be left alone. The powerful kingdoms of Arche Seleukeia and Baktria stand in our way of prospairity and now war has been forced upon us. We shall prevail against the tyrannt.

A transcript found in the tomb of a Sakaian King:

Spring 272:

We have finally found a city to settle down in in. We have sent a scouting party lead by my son to find a new city to conquer in our attempts to recreate our empire.

(Weeks of nothing has been found inbetween these two periods)

Later Spring 272:

We have found a city on the other side of the mountians. I have sent my son and our largest army to attack this city. I hope he does not dissappoint me like he did earlier at the hands of the eastern barbarians. He has besieged the city for my name. They cowards have retreated into their city. These cowards are as smart as they look. They have forgotten walls! My son has launched his attack full of vigor. I hope for his sake that vigor does not replace rationality.



Found in another tomb set next to the one found with the transcription:

Father. I have started the seige of the city. Bin-kath is the horrid scum of our empire. The cockroach underneath our boot. I shall take it for the glory of our empire. I has caused us many pains in the past few years but now with me in the lead I will take it. The rebels holding this city shall be wiped from the face of the earth.



We used our range to take out their only defence against my noble horses. The arrows rained down on them with guidance from the heavens themselves. Each arrow struck its target with accuracy only we could have. Many defenders fell under us and the rest fell from the thunder of our hooves as we dashed across the plains to the city. We lost a few men the in the battle, may the Rest In Peace.



Father! We have won. I hope this has pleased you! I can only do what you ask of me and I have done it! The ghastly rebels have been put in there place! Oh father this is a day to remember in our history! I have put all the rebels to the sword and their familys as well to prevent rebellion! The skulls nailed the the doors of every family still left in the city to cause fear for your empire. The people of this city pose no more threat to us so we may move on to more important matters.



A letter transcript found in the tomb from his father:

You coward! You have disappointed me again. You have put innocents to the sword! You think that being a tyrant makes you great? You think mass killings are the answer to your disappointment? Your a disgrace to my family! I have no son.

More to come
