The Duchy is not gone!

Just a reminder that the Duchy of Indur is not gone. We are in fact still very strong and our borders are stable, our travels in the Middle East are soon coming to an end and we welcome the challenge of the battlefield in the coming spring.

The Order of the Lion

A War In The Colony

With the construction of a fortress along the coast and the establishment of a small town for the families of the soldiers we have begun to see the affects of a brutal tribal war. The Ahkise have been brutalized by the larger Bubutu tribe, and I see that siding with the Ahkise will help us break or even eliminate the Bubutu while allowing use to control the entire region. As governor of the colony I will act in its best interest.

Disaster!

Some would call it a disaster but after some mucking about in the Middle East and being blown off course our ships have made land fall on the "Dark Continent." How will this affect the Duchy? We will see. ( Been busy here in Iraq)

Navy

Indur's newest frigate the HLS Duke Bryon is the a step forward for the Duchy's navy. The Duchy plans to put 10 of these ship to sea by the end of summer.

Plains for a colony?

Duke Kristjan: I wish to become a global entity.

Fredrick Kessal: Well my lord I hear wonderful things about India.

Duke Kristjan: India you say?

Fredrick Kessal: Yes, but we will need men, supplies and ships.

Duke Kristjan: YOU have command one infantry regiment, which you must raise, and 2 galleons, when you get to India you will be the colony's Governor.

Duke Kristjan: Be careful, and once you have sent word my sister will join you along with the families of the men.
