Faction Primer: The Republic of Grecca


“They were but a small and insignificant country but with such a nettle that they insult the throne. We declared war for this atrocity and their sheer tenacity dragged this war for far too long,”
~Admiral Tythos Murien of the Urmanean Fleet.

The Republic of Grecca is a small nation located between the Sovereignty of Tenebrine and the Empire of Urmanea. Known to be the descendants from the fallen Empire of Ghath, the Republic is famed to possess the most powerful infantry across the entire world despite the lack of technological advancements that gave itself a disadvantage in the war.

The country itself had made a pact with the ancient Kingdoms of Farrec – the predecessors to the Sovereignty of Tenebrine – where when the leaders of Grecca requests for aid, then their allies must answer the call. Known as the Iron Pact, only the Sovereignty answered the summons to war in obligation to fight the Empire (among many other things). Because of this, the public often see the involvement of the Sovereignty to the war as unnecessary due to how well known the pact is to everyone.

The Power of Grecca


Grecca is widely known for its powerful infantry that surpasses both the Empire and the Sovereignty when it comes to efficiency and brutality. But with the lack of any advanced technology that could rival the likes of Urmanea and Tenebrine, the soldiers of the Republic would find themselves struggling to gain significant victories. However, because of the outbreak of the war, Grecca has since been developing new weapons at a rapid pace and even established a new Special Forces division much in the same vein of the Halsiegel or the Shock Troopers named as the Legio Andreios or as the Valiant Legion.

In the first years of the war, the Republic is shown to have utilized cavalry units ranging from light cavalry to cataphracts. Despite the declining effective of such units in battle, the Republic often use them as scouts (for the light cavalry) or as shock units (the heavy variants) to break through enemy lines. They are also known for their heavily fortified trench systems, with multiple layers of defenses that make their lines almost impenetrable when charged head on.

In the years following the beginning of the war, the Republic of Grecca became more and more proficient in their military tactics despite losing countless areas in the northern regions due to the technological might of the Empire that easily broke through their defenses. Utilizing experimental weapons such as bipedal war machines or jump packs, Grecca slowly regains their lost territory and launched the ongoing Northern Reclamation Campaign in 2339 with aid from Tenebrine.

Essay: This Abstract Thing We Call "Love"

By -
Love. What is it, actually? Some define it as an expression that someone would display towards another individual that they have feelings for them, through actions that showcased their love to them. Others would have thought of something as simple as a feeling that would bring happiness to those who harbored it deep within their hearts. If you would ask me, what is love? I shall answer it as simple as possible. It is undefinable. To me, personally. It’s a very abstract thing that many of us can’t simply describe what love actually is. We can’t put into words about how it felt, or why it happened. That’s why phrases such as “the flowery feelings” or “butterflies in your stomach” metaphors came to be. It can be felt, yes of course and it is an undeniable thing. But to describe it? Borderline impossible, I might say. Now, when I talk about love, I’m talking about the one thing that held people together in a way through memories and acts of kindness. You get the gist of it. It is love

A Field of Swords: Prologue Chapter (sample)

By -
Prologue Lord Percival Dragonstorm It was already evening and on that very day it was his son’s fifth birthday. If he was still a noble lord who lived in the halls of Dragonspire – the ancestral seat of his family, he would have ordered the people to set up for a feast to celebrate this auspicious day. But he no longer lived the wealthy life of being a nobleman who holds titles and lands, commanding entire hosts of armies into battle, or taking up his sword against his enemies. He had left that behind ten years ago. Percival now lived as a normal man with a mind that drives to live such a normal life. To live in peace. To be away from the world’s concerns. To be away from the shadows of war that haunts his father and his father before him. He owns a farm now, away from Camelot lands and resides within the borders of Grecca. Kaldir is where he makes his home. With his wife Ana, he lived within this small village where the people are just as friendly as they had always been. A bu
