Brainstorming in Tanah Tupai

All Tupai are known as Risuners in Holoimperial, even the non-Tupai Maghatashi. Don't ever call a Maghatashi a Tupai, it is of great offence to them. Call them Magi or Maghatashians.

Denonym: Utarans
TL:

  • 1121: Defeat of first raid at Zikha
  • Early 1122: Destruction of Vikingrs at Kalikiri and capture of Rajat.
  • Rest of 1122 and 1123: Conquest of lands from the Karnali River in the north to the Town of Uttarakok in the south. Army now numbers some 75,000 thanks to many joining the ranks. Those that do not submit are slaughtered, those that do are treated well. Foundation of the Capital of Rajshahi on the ruins of the city of Gangarampur
  • 1124: Silvanus Campaign, the rest of the north managed to raise 30,000 in an effort to stop Vijaya. This army is crushed at Magwe on May 30th. Their commander, the elder of Silvanus, Yuanita, is captured. In a display of extreme cruelty, Yuanita is killed in front of the city in a brutal fashion and his body parts are fired into the city by a cannon. City holds out still, but not for long, as a traitor opens the gates and the Vijaya's army marches into the city. Destroying most of it but specifically leaving the foreign assets untouched. Thousands are massacred.
  • 1125-26: Rest of the North is captured and the army marches to the south, now number some 100,000. Captures Gresik and in late 1126, reaches Ceres. The city refuses demands until the massive cannons are brought to bear on the city. After an 8-hour bombardment, the city agrees to terms. It will be spared but has to pay a hefty tribute.
  • 1127: With Ceres subdued, Vijaya marches south, believing that victory over the famous Joyo Cahya will bring ultimate victory. Near Sabatangan, in a bloody three day battle, the two massive armies duke it out. Vijaya cannot defeat Cahya, and must withdraw. He signs a treaty with the Southern Kaisar of peace and returns back home. An Infinity force tries to fight him near Bellona, but is utterly crushed by Vijaya as they underestimate him massively. He signs a favorable treaty with Infintium where he will leave the designated zone for massive tribute.
  • 1128: Vijaya consolidates his holdings. Assassination attempt on him by an agent from the Rishama. He vows revenge the next year.
  • 1129: Vijaya marches on Pasuma and utterly devastated the countryside around the city and puts every village he can to the sword. He demands tribute from the city, which he gets and goes away. He will try again at them another time, but knows his cause needs to entrench itself.

Kekaisaran Mathara
Established by Commodus, now Joyo Cahya after his conquest of Panrong in 1125. Finished the conquest through diplomacy and the sword of their lands by 1128. Also known as the Tupai Besara or Matharans.
Invited plenty of Pomeranians, Solarians, Syrenians, and Oiseaux to settle the land and build cities, rapidly establishing an economy and providing the nation with skilled artisans that no other Tupai state has. Also provided a military class for future training of locals.
Syrenians would be the master shipbuilders and fisherman.
Pomeranians are excellent artisans and soldiers.
Solarians are excellent artisans, architects and skilled with the fine arts.

  • 1124, Tigarasaka. Commodus hailed as Joyo Cahya and consults Maumigny on what he should do. Maumigny tells him to become the great man that he is destined to be. He manages to rally tribes to his banner and has a vision in the sight of his future capital telling him that from here, he will rule. Founds the city of Megahraja
  • 1125: Word of the chosen one rallies tribe after tribe. Joyo Cahya marches on Panrong in June and the population overthrow the local government and hail Joyo Cahya as lord. Joyo Cahya hires Pomeranian Mercenaries under (name to be chosen) and consolidates his holds.
  • 1126: Joyo Cahya takes rest of the south before marching north in May. On July 10th, Joyo Cahya, with an army of 30,000 including Khosrow, and the Pomeranians meet the first true threat to his rise, a large group of Tupai tribes, pretty much all that could be rallied between Panrong and the Infinity Road, funded by Infintium near the town of Iskanbawan, some 45,000. This force was raised by the self-proclaimed "Defender of the Tupai and Champion of Freedom" Adi Candra. (Maybe Infinity sends men, idk). It is a crushing victory that rides on the shoulders of Khosrow and the Pomeranians. The Asbārān Cataphracts and the Asbārān Shivtar prove devastating to the tribals, who charged at Cahya's line, broke the Tupai but were halted by the Pomeranians. It was then that the Asbārān struck on both wings and the army imploded. Some 15,000 were killed or wounded and 20,000 captured. Adi Candra escapes to wage Guerilla warfare. Joyo Cahya consolidates and raises more men. Reports from the North inform him of the threat coming his way.
  • 1127: Joyo Cahya, who planned to take Sabatangan this year to conclude his conquests for now is confronted by an existential threat in the form of the massive army under Vijaya. Cahya, raising even more men and mercenaries, marches north to meet him near Sabatangan. In a bloody 3-day battle, both sides are exhausted, but Cahya wins as Vijaya cannot defeat him. Cahya turns his attention to Sabatangan, and declares it under his protection; signing a treaty that states as much. His conquests are now complete but guerilla warfare is continued to be waged in his north for several years.
  • 1128-30: Cahya begins his interior work in earnest, inviting peoples to come and settle.
  • 1132: Cahya appoints the Patriarch of (name), to counter the Rishama's demands for him to submit to them formally.

Oiseaux settlers have are similar to Solarians and they settle large areas of the southern part of the Empire.
KAG and Imperial Tsukinode Navy connections are crucial along with the Syrenians in the Contruction of the fleet.
