    Reign of Abeakos
    The Gathering

    Summer of 272 BC
    High King Abeakos gathers all riders that can be spared at Gava-Yazyga. Messengers are sent to Uspe to recruit Ragon Sauromatae Uaezdaettae, Gava-Roxsalanni to call for foot archers, and Gava-Aursa to find Babai. A Horde is being united… a sea of horsemen, a wave of spears, and a spray of arrows…. That is the vision of Abeakos, and he, as the first High King of this strongly united federation, has called his kinsmen. Great peril lies ahead though, for leaving the steppe camps near undefended to fight for riches in faraway lands against powerful peoples is a gamble… a gamble that may cost the freedom of the Sauromatae….
    The plan had been revised over and over… Rastbarag the diplomat would head south to the steppe’s-end-mountains. There he would find the Hayasdan and using diplomacy as a pretext, find out what sort of army the Armenians had… the horsemen of the Sauromatae would unite and ride south until they found the city of the Haikakan and destroy them once and for all.

    Abeakos rode for a season with his men, and suddenly things began to foretell a doomed mission… a Maeot raid on his camp… their Chief Ardabur had been watching the prosperous Sauromatae with covetous eyes for a long time and now he chose to strike at their High King …the battle begins


    "The High King wasn’t a High King for no reason. Despite his use of Haoma he was a great tactician…"


    Abeakos knew exactly what to do. Dividing his forces into two wings his force advanced showering arrows onto the left and right flanks of the enemy.









    Victory! Abeakos found Ardabur crushed beneath his own Maeot steed and chuckled. He grabbed the cold head and ripped it off its limp neck. He added another "cup" to his collection. He soon reaches Uspe....



    "What happens after that Bard?! Tell me, tell me!"
    "Shut up! I mean.... patience Prince... I am getting there..."

    I want more, and I want it now
    I love it can't wait till you post the rest
    "I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose history is ended, whose wars have been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, whose literature is unread, whose prayers are no longer answered.... For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a new Armenia!

    William Saroyan, 1935.

    Use Photobucket. I've used both, and I like photobucket more, and as far as I know, there isn't a monthly bandwidth limit. If you have to upload 100 pics just for your first chapter, a bandwidth limit isn't going to be a good thing.

    One question, and sorry if I sound dumb. How do you have the blue underlined words link to something? I hope you can understand that. I know how to post links, but not links that are different words, like when people say you can find it here and you click here and it takes you to the page. I know you know how, so help a brother out. :)

    Oh, and awesome aar so far. This one looks like it will be good. :)

    thanks everybody! so far I have the story and screenshots of all of Abeakos' reign... I am just going to upload them, take a break, write it up, and then upload some more... basically splitting up the tedious work into chapters
    as you can see... Part 1, chapters 1 and 2 are done ...meaning there are 5 more, part 1 has 7 chapters

    replace my { with [
    and my } with ]
    {url=www.whatever-you-want-it-to-be.com}click here{/url}

    so it'll look like
    click here

    of course www.whatever-you-want-it-to-be.com doesn't exist

    EDIT:
    if you want it to link to an image put in the URL of that image
    if you want the image to be a link put something like this:
    {url=www.whatever-you-want-it-to-be.com}{img}https://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5995/muaythaikg9.gif{/img}{/url}
    so that it looks like this:


    if you want it to be a thumbnail (small image-link to a big image link, simple put the larger image's URL in the [url] part


    though that's not a good example of a thumbnail since its not a smaller version of the image but you get the point

    and no i don't do muay thai, i do kung fu

    Awesome, thanks for your help!

    And I'm enjoying your aar very much! I especially like how you gave the titles some pictures too ( I was thinking of doing the same thing....I was also thinking of adding some real-life pictures a'la Chirurgeon).

    Reign of Abeakos
    Fall of Uspe

    Winter of 272 BC
    Rastbarag examined the wooden wall and then walked towards the gate. Slaves bearing gold and copper from local mines and merchants from further south filtered into Armavir at a steady pace. Armenian spearmen patrolled the streets keeping order in the Hayasdan capital. The garrison was nothing compared to the gathering Sauromatae horde. He was delighted to see that this was the only city of the Armenians; perhaps his High King would be able to crush them after all…
    Sauromatae Fat Aexsdzhytae and Ragon Sauromatae Uaezdaettae join the horde… Uspe is growing more prosperous with the development of Hauuon Huym (farms) but there is no mnai in Abeakos’ coffers… he is in debt and thus he is seized by an increasing sense of urgency to conquer… to sate his men’s thirst for women and wealth…

    Summer of 271 BC
    The horde is united and the seasoned Fat Aexsdzhytae of the last battle were garrisoned in Uspe to take the place of the Sauromatae riders who would be needed in the fight against the Hayasdan. But on the horizon is an army of Gargars! The archers from Gava-Roxsalanni frantically rush to Uspe upon hearing the news… a messenger approaches the High King with the news but Abeakos does not tell his men….
    If the Sauromatae are to see glory and greatness, they cannot stay on the steppe and fight petty wars and execute small raids forever. If Uspe falls, so be it… the High King presses on, moving his horde south as if nothing is wrong….

    Narek of the Gargars was no fool, he had been watching Uspe for some time, and knew the King was well on his way south… Uspe was defended by a small group of archers, his men could tear them up, but to be safe, he rushed upon the straggling archers outside of town, defeating them and chasing them towards Uspe… while driving all herders and farmers into the terrified community… The Gargar army then sweeps down upon the frightened village and takes it with little difficulty.
    Captain Saupharnes of the Roxsalanni Fat Aexsdzhytae and Captain Pharnurgos of Uspe fought to the end but despaired as their men were cut down by fierce cavalry…

    Abeakos is now at the foot of the steppe’s-end-mountains… he dismounts and looks about, his scouts tell him the pass is safe from bandits and Armavir is just to the southeast, beyond this great wall of stone, ice, and crumbling earth…. Rastbarag sends word to his King that the garrison in the enemy capital is being expanded



    ”Those bastards!”
    “Indeed, but I am not done… and neither was Abeakos”
    "Does he conquer Armavir?!"
    "DO NOT... I mean, please do not interrupt me..."
    "Yes yes, go on elder..."
