Popular Post Rozalia Posted August 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Styled Wushu, Rozalia was a man of medium build with brown eyes and a short beard. At the time of his birth, several great portents were recorded. A azure dragon was seen rising from a well to the sky in the capital, while sheaves of corn of the harvest from the local farms were found to have pieces of gold instead of kernels of corn inside. Astrologers remarked that these were signs that the child was destined for greatness. At the age of twenty, Rozalia graduated and became known for his decency and integrity. Rozalia was recruited around AD 174 by the Green Protection Agency to serve as a civil officer in it's empire. Soon after one of the holders of the three excellencies Lord House failed in his duties and fled causing much upheaval in the GPA. Many names were put forward to succeed the prestigious position, but eventually only two remained, Oberstein, and Rozalia himself. Rozalia was a fiery maverick by nature, while Oberstein was compliant and tame, so it was no surprise when the Minister of Works Lord Don Juan and Minister of War Lord Grillick put their support behind "their" candidate. On the lead up to the results Grillick made a mocking remark to Rozalia, saying “When I said I would ruin us I was joking and people elected me, when you run people know you'll ruin us and they elect you anyway!.†All in the court felt uncomfortable at the remark, but Rozalia simply glared back at Grillick and retorted “You have long since ruined us". Grillick was flustered by Rozalia’s jab and backed off promptly in shame. Soon after Rozalia became Minister of the Masses giving him an equal rank to his enemies in court Don Juan and Grillick. The new Lord was full of ideas and changes to make which frightened Don Juan and Grillick as such changes would mean they may well have to do some actual work for once! One day Don Juan was visited by the devious schemer Belisarius who was a good friend of his and held a post in Rose country. After hearing of Don Juan's problems Belisarius smiled, saying "I have long since known of this Rozalia and he is of no threat to your position. He is one who cannot work well under others and easily provoked into rash action, make use of such traits and you'll easily ruin him". Don Juan became puzzled as Rozalia was now of equal rank to himself, and stated "But good Belisarius he is my equal in the court, how do I take advantage of these things you've stated". Belisarius looked around to make sure no was listening and with a whisper, said "Have Grillick issue an edict to reform the government with the secret goal of leaving Rozalia powerless and power firmly in yours and Grillick's hands. Mislead those in court on it's purpose and make the voting time extremely short, and if Rozalia objects then attack him as up to his usual antics to burn away time. When it passes he will rebel and you can put him down and cover yourself in glory. If somehow it fails then you can just blame Grillick, worked for me remember". Hearing this advice Don Juan joyfully delighted, "Belisarius your genius plan will surely claim me victory!". However in a moment of divine providence, no doubt in reaction to Don Juan's villainy, a great storm hit the capital and most of the officials could not reach the court to vote. The few of which that did Rozalia was a among them and he lambasted the treacherous Don Juan for his actions, of which he defended by stating, "Friends as you know I've not had much time in court lately as I've been most ill... this was all Grillick's doing! We did talk about such matters but I never consented to this". This plea did not fool Rozalia however as he has had always been full of much insight. In AD 178 Don Juan fearing that his end was soon at hand fled the capital going west in the hopes of joining up with Lord Keegoz the master of Rose country. As the news of such an incident was read out none of the generals dared to volunteer to give chase, "Cowards the lot of you! I'll give chase to them alone if I have to!" Rozalia bellowed instilling much shame in the trembling generals. Rozalia finally caught up with the traitor Don Juan at Llanera river in Nueva Granada who turned his forces around to make combat. From out behind Don Juan, Belisarius emerged and boasted, "Your nemesis is here foolish Rozalia! I'll take your head this day!" The two warriors engaged in a titanic struggle, which proved how deadly Belisarius was with his spear. Rozalia was hard-pressed to fight any advantage. After a masterful parry that left Belisarius open for what could be a fatal strike, Rozalia did not deliver it, instead turning to flee. Belisarius, his blood boiling from the battle, immediately set off in pursuit. Don Juan and his army were hot on his heels. Rozalia's army melted back in the wake of their charge, offering no resistance, as they entered Mirandilla valley. When Belisarius and his men followed behind, the ambush was launched. GPA troops spilled out from all sides, quickly surrounding and isolating Belisarius. Don Juan and his men fought their way out and ran for their lives, knowing that it had been foolish to oppose Rozalia, even with Belisarius leading them. Belisarius, meanwhile, continued to fight like a demon, but the GPA forces were merely harassing him, waiting for him to tire out. Then, they would take him alive. Belisarius fought on through the day and into the evening before he began to tire. Rozalia watched the ongoing battle from a ridge at the edge of the valley. At that point, however, two Rose officers arrived on the scene, Lambdadelta and Kurdanak. They tried to fight their way in, but had no luck. Seeing that Rozalia’s forces were too strong, they fell back and formulated a plan. Kurdanak led a small force off, while Lambdadelta stood up in his stirrups and waved, shouting to get everyone’s attention. “Hey everyone! Look at me! I’m Lambdadelta!†And with that, he spurred his horse on and jumped off a cliff to his death. Rozalia, and indeed all the GPA forces, simply gaped in shock at the suicidal strategy. Belisarius himself panicked after such a sight, and thus when Kurdanak snuck through the confused GPA forces to rescue him, Belisarius happily joined in the escape. Knowing that Don Juan was by now long gone and having received a report that Emperor Caillou with a large Rose army was coming to stop his advance at all costs, Rozalia turned his forces around and headed back to the GPA capital. Rozalia always with a finger on the pulse of matters knew that the GPA was not safe and gave word to all regions to draft additional troops, horses, arrows, and to build powerful catapults to reinforce the empire. With this action Grillick the Minister of War became most angry declaring, "You merely govern the people and their petty matters! What makes you think you have the right to do my job and call for these things? There is no threat to us from those savages you're worried about. Firstly even as I insult and mock them they do not dare attack for they know our greatness... and secondly even were they to attack we have many friends in Rose country who will no doubt rush to our aid". Rozalia disagreed heavily with Grillick's assessment, but truly as long as he was the Minister of War such things were in his realm to command. In AD 180, 0zon3 visited the Songnam Tombs to pay his respects to his late friend Lambdadelta. Grillick, together with his close associates, followed 0zon3 on the trip. While they were away, Rozalia seized the opportunity to launch a takeover of the GPA. He had all the city gates in the capital shut on his orders and he took over the floating bridge at the Anyang River as well. He wrote a report to the minsters, asking them to recognize Grillick as a traitor thereby removing him and his associates from power, in the name of saving the GPA. Grillick was shocked when he saw the report and was unsure of how to react. The minister Printer635 managed to flee from the capital and went to see Grillick. Printer635 advised Grillick to move to Incheon and call for a punitive war against Rozalia in the name of saving the GPA. On the other hand, Kalev60, Little Lloyd and Lauri Torni advised Grillick to surrender as soon as possible as surely Rozalia would be lenient if he did. Grillick pondered over the issue for a night and finally decided to fight. He did not wish to merely live a luxurious life, he wanted power. Trapped in the capital and knowing that Grillick had numerous corrupt officials within the court to aid him, and that this internal war would be pounced upon by enemies, Rozalia humbly surrendered his position giving full power to Grillick. Grillick when he entered the capital quickly put Rozalia under house arrest but he was not sure what to do afterwards. He had long dreamed of eliminating his rival Rozalia, but that could weaken his position so he hesitated. Sensing Grillick's indecisiveness on the issue Rozalia kowtowed before him and pleaded, "I know what I've done is unforgivable and the great general shows legendary mercy in not executing me on the spot. I am so ashamed I do not even wish to remain in our great capital, please general, allow me to exile myself to our most northern borders in Sigma". Feeling that this was in his interests Grillick gladly allowed Rozalia to exit the capital and make his way north. However a day later when asking minister Printer635 on the state providing him a loan for a gaudy new palace to celebrate his victory over Rozalia, he was shocked to hear that Rozalia before being defeated had not only given 200 million gold to the commoners but he had personally taken 40 million for himself which had not been returned. Acknowledging his blunder Grillick screamed, "And I let him get away without asking for it back! Why was I not notified sooner!?". Grillick gave chase to the retreating Rozalia who had already force marched over the Leon mountains knowing that Grillick's forgetfulness would only hold as long as it took for him to try to slake his greed. Several days into the fruitless chase Grillick's officer Godfrey turned to him and said, "Lord Grillick it is quite clear we won't catch up with Rozalia now... but I have an idea that could lead to us taking his head regardless". "Speak!" howled an agitated Grillick. "Rozalia is going to the autonomous province of Sigma ruled by your subject Lyrositor. As such no need for us to bother with soldiers and this chase. Simply retreat and send word to Lyrositor to deal with him when he reaches Sigma". Grillick pleased with this plan retreated back to the capital. Rozalia was welcomed in Noma city by Lyrositor himself who said that Rozalia could remain until he could move on elsewhere, remarking that such a great hero is too big to remain in Sigma. In the night however Lyrositor's treachery was revealed as he opened the gates and together with Mensa raiders he had hired, attacked Rozalia whilst he slept hoping to take his head. Before such a foul deed could occur however, Spyro F Dragon, a man who Rozalia had befriended and made an officer as he fled the capital, rushed at Lyrositor's troops slashing all around him, and twenty or more fell beneath his blows. The others drew back. But the spears stood around him like reeds on the riverbank. Being totally without mail, he was soon wounded in several places. He fought desperately till his sword snapped and was no longer of any use. Throwing it aside he seized a couple of soldiers and with their bodies as weapons felled ten of his opponents. The others dared not approach, but they shot arrows at him. These fell thick as rain, but he still maintained the gate against the assailants as Rozalia escaped. However, the crafty Lyrositor commanded some of his men to sneak up around to the back of Spyro F Dragon, and they wounded Spyro F Dragon in the back with spear thrusts. Uttering a loud cry he fell. The blood gushed from the wound in torrents, and he died. Rozalia disheartened by his losses fled further north whereupon after receiving aid from several heroes of the age was able to safely settle in the area. There he learned that a great army was being formed to pillage the GPA and remove Grillick, but to that he showed little care as such things were long behind him by this point. In AD AD 182 GPA was overrun by a powerful coalition, Rose made no move to send aid, and Grillick was heavily defeated, afterwards being stripped of his rank and made a commoner by the court for his incompetence. Rozalia spent many years from that point building his power base, doing anything that was required of him and regularly getting into disputes with Rose country diplomats. In AD 180 after much encouragement from friends, Rozalia rose up and declared the Roz Wei Celestial Empire. His imperial name was "Wushu" which hundreds of years later became the name of one of the two sports Rozalia popularised (the other being Professional Wrestling). The Roz in front of Wei, a common shortened name for Rozalia was there to help differentiate it from Wei empires of the past.

Rozalia Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Thanks everyone for the kind words. It was a little long yes I understand but I wanted to tell the story until now and not leave anything out. Further entries will likely be shorter, and if I get round to it I hope to decorate it with images to illustrate such legendary events. I will try to read this when I have a couple hours free tl;dr I suppose I'll sum up every paragraph. -Rozalia was a hell of guy. Quickly rose to the highest position in the GPA to the resentment of the others who held such posts. -Don Juan plots with Belisarius. -Divine providence occurs that foils Don Juan's plot. -Rozalia defeats Don Juan and Belisarius. -Rozalia moves to reinforce the empire, Grillick mocks the thought of being defeated. -Rozalia takes over GPA, Grillick decides to fight this. -Rozalia is arrested by Grillick, but manages to get free quickly. -Grillick tries to defeat Rozalia but he cannot so he sends a message to Lyrositor to do the deed. -Lyrositor ambushes Rozalia but is not able to take his head. -Rozalia flees and settles elsewhere. Learns of the great army moving to defeat Grillick, watches intently as Grillick is disgraced. -Rozalia forms the Roz Wei Celestial Empire "In 191 AD, the great Rozalia spotted the sacred teal deer, a sign of great wealth and verbosity." This was a well written and well flavored account of history, we need to see more posts like this, although hopefully a bit shorter. Thank you and that is totally going in the lore now. Graduated at the age of 20? The normal age to graduate at such a level is much older, but Rozalia was bestowed great intelligence by Heaven so he did it much quicker. Names please Names have been lost in time I'm sorry. Everything happened so fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
