  • Apocrypha
    • When he went into exile, Mekdam never expected to see home again. He expected to toil and die inside that damnable mission, for the crime of daring to dream for a world to come.

    And now, he thinks, the world to come has arrived. It has arrived in the flash of steel, in the blades of the Mass Jury that threw the Sword-Altar from the streets of Nachivan. It has arrived in smoke, in the muzzles of the Gunpower Eucharists that seized Vikrag Prison. And it has arrived in a deluge, a flood, a tsunami - in the courage of the sailors that still yet fight to seize the ships upon the Hadit, and turn their weapons upon the blood-eaters that would see the Patriarch and His Sanhedron come to harm.

    Mekdam loads his rifle, holds it aloft, and shouts for all the crowd to hear-

    "Watch us soar, into the world to come!"

    Ysa bleeds. A shallow cut across the ribs, maybe lethal, maybe not; much will depend, of course, on how things unfold. What might be survived if they win and he can recover is very different from what will happen if they are forced to flee, and even more different from what is going to happen if they are caught.

    He grabs his axe, and shakes his robe to get the dirt and blood off.

    Ok so Kenturah and the Mothguys are now in a rendition of Weekend At Santsarran's.
    Yes, The Patriarch Is Definitely Alive. No You Cannot See Him.

    ok so we have established that I think Santsarran is dead or otherwise incapacitated. but how long has he been dead?
    We last saw someone who was purportedto be Santsarran in Enemies of God,

    But that's just An Individual Wearing The mask Of Amalgast. It could be anyone behind there! And you may note, diplomatic tones from the office of the patriarch took an abrupt about-face, conciliating the Mare and condemning Sword-Altar.
    So sometime between the 14th of Tislev killings and this appearance, Santsarran died, was killed, or has otherwise been incapacitated. (As a national leader during an economic crisis, I'm given to understand that a stroke is traditional.) It could have been the Mare, trying to prevent war, it could have been Sword Altar/the Synod, trying to prevent the reforms San was aiming at, or it could have been the cruel hand of the God that takes. But if it was a human actor, it makes sense that in the name of stability, Kenturah, now a power behind the throne, would pretend that all is well.

    no mention of Santsarran, her holy beloved? Theoretically the most powerful man in the country? Only makes sense if he's off the board somehow! And the condemnation of the jury makes perfect sense as information control! Can't let Komandir Reganan see that the throne is empty, especially after he publicly aligned the entire jury with the Synod and originators- so he's got to go. No jurors allowed on the mount anymore!

    amazing that High Confession rocked up like "ITS HIGH NOON SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD" and proceeded to give the sword altar boys a thrashing from three generations out of time

    very KOGGERS

    Max respect for the High Confessors, maybe they're all right after all, still very unclear on what they actually wanted with the reforms from on high. And the samurai too, all terribly based revolutionaries.


    [X] Attack the Hanaga Bridges.
     
    Comrades! While I recognize the utmost importance of the sailor's uprising, we must recognize the need for manpower to fight on the Bridges, especially since we seem to split our forces to assault both! I call upon all undecided at the moment - Strike for the bridges!
     
    If I'm reading the geography correctly, then the three Standards arriving via Warabad are mustering with Sword-Altar's main body at the Tzinhas barracks. They don't have any easy way across the Hadit without fighting through the city. If that's the case the Sword-Altar garrisons in the south and east inside the city are cut off from reinforcements. So that's something to keep in mind.

    That is correct. If the rumors from rowboats passing info is correct, whatever goals they attempted on their side is falling apart and they are retreating to their major fortifications marked in red, probably to await relief.

    That means the forces guarding the bridges are either hanging out there cut off and should likely be getting very nervous, or may be in the process of falling back as well. Depends on their officers, morale, commitment.

    It also means that fortifying what we already have is absolutely critical. If they send 20,000 men to smash through the central Navel and murder the patriarch we're fucked.

    Clearing Mushad Bridge would let reinforcements from South Nachivan come over immediately to join the defense of the Central Navel, but you're very right there. It's going to be ugly street fighting where the throughput of the revolutionary mobs will be put up against the endurance of the Standards. Letting them burn their way through Central Nachivan to capture the Temple Mount would be a disaster.
     
    As I said, if we can get the navy. Clearing the bridges to get more reinforcements in should be a lot easier. But yeah, do not neglect the fortifications. This isnt a situation where we have a lot of leeways.

    The only option we can somewhat relax on is 4-5 for the Sanhedron. Afterwards everything else is pretty vital.

    The fall of Vikrag, the arsenal of the Mothguard and abandoned arms left by Sword-Altar does mean you have a bit more heavy munitions, but yes. It is a serious situation. All the votes are basically direct defense or attack to get more defenders.

    I think the bridges are going to be bloody but doable. They've retreated back to their strong points and can't really reinforce the bridges, plus we've got elevated artillery from the jail for one of them.

    Regardless, five votes total to fortify is nowhere near enough.

    You are not wrong. So lets do the smart thing here and divide this into sections in terms of priorities

    Direct Defenses:
    Fortify Central Navel
    Fortify Western Navel

    The problem with these two is that we cannot afford to slack on either of them. If even one falls, the whole card castle might collapse. Or at the very least, both of them need to be defended enough so that we can pull back into the other section in relatively good order if one falls. Hopefully allowing us to face a diminished invading force.

    So we need at least 10-15 if not more votes for both.

    Attack to Get More Defenders:
    Sailors
    Hanaga Bridge
    Mushad Bridge

    We are much luckier in this section. There is some synergy here. Every Sect Power thrown into the Sailors will allow for easier pushing on the bridges and breaking more Sword Altar Garrisons and getting more defenders streaming in.

    Reasonably we could maybe afford to get away with 15-20 Votes on the Sailors, and then go for around 10 for the Bridges. This is a bit low for my tastes, but it's a lot more doable than say cutting more votes from the Fortifications.

    Can't wait for some baller shit from the rump Sanhedron, like bulls of attainer and interdiction making the Sword-Altar Standard legally immolated and dissolved and making it a crime against God for its Komandirs to continue performing their Jury rites.
