Who are we?
The Free Peoples of Zanpur united together to share our skills, wisdom, and resources to better ourselves and defend our colonies from invasions. 

What do we want? 
We want to create an environment in Zanpur where our members can grow to their full potential in whatever they want to specialize in. One of our primary objectives is to provide a robust inventory of resources to our members so they can specialize in what they want to, these resources include basic, advanced, crafted, military, magic, and diplomatic resources. We also actively participate in the Central Zanpur Trade hub. 

Who can join? 
Anyone with a settlement in the Zanpur area may join our cause as a bannerman, with the potential to rise up to Lord with their own unique title. We do not require members to participate in alliance events, or focus in any particular direction. Members are free to conduct business at their leisure, and may leave at any time without repurcusions.  

Where are we? 
SouthEastern Zanpur contains our Primary Colony, and we are advancing out from there into the other parts of uninhabited Zanpur. 

 

 

As the dust slowly faded to give way to the star-lit night sky, only the sweet smell of the sap from the nearby trees could even attempt to cover up the foulest stench of blood that spread across the battlefield, and as the lifeless bodies lie sprawled in their own foul stench one dwarf remains. A dwarf whom some say to be a legend, a dwarf whose very presence has made the greatest warriors bow at his feet.

On this day as Sir Geofrey Ironshaper stepped out of the smog of the battlefield with only his bloody axe dragging the ground he realized that he was alone. Everyone, including his own, had been brutality slaughtered. Although he was the lone victor in battle he was a defeated dwarf; at the edge of insanity, he fled deep into the heart of the Keshalia forests. While Geofrey was away, rumor quickly spread of his death and so too the legend of his greatness. After two years of complete solitude with only the birds and his thoughts to keep him company, Sir Geofrey began to devise a plan to return to mainland Keshalia. As Geofrey emerged from the forest with only his axe and a beard twice his size, he struck out to find an alliance to assist him on his vendetta against those who destroyed his fellow dwarves so many years ago. Upon exiting the forest Geofrey stumbled upon a group of friends wasting away their sorrows among some of the land's finest brews.
 
Noticing the dwarf Geofrey walking past his group was fellow dwarf Sir McDew. McDew was a well-respected warrior across the dwarf community and would do anything for a fellow dwarf, so not knowing that he was speaking to the legendary Geofrey, McDew offered him some of his fine brew and place to stay. The next morning as the rays of the sun beat down on Sir Geofrey's face McDew knew instantly who he'd spent the evening with. At this moment, feeling confident in McDew's ability, Geofrey decided we would ask this fellow dwarf to join him in the fight to find the ones that nearly destroyed their race. McDew gladly agreed to join his axe with his fellow dwarf when all the sudden the two quickly became surround by five masked dwarves. As they inched closer Geofrey took his axe and slammed it in the ground with the force of a thousand earthquakes combined. The earth shook so violently the dwarves came crashing down at Sir Geofrey's feet when he exclaimed in a loud overpowering voice: "DRINK WITH ME."
 
The dwarves immediately scrambled to their feet, removed their masks and all together shouted, "YES SIR." Once these dwarves agreed and the rage left Geofrey's face, he realized that these were not dwarves, but orcs, humans, and even elves. At this moment Geofrey realized that this fight was more than just a revenge story for his own race; it was a chance for him to make a difference in this land, not just in Keshalia, but in all of Illyria. This was a chance for him to liberate the other races from the horrors of war and to defend them from what happened to his so many years ago. Geofrey decided it was time to take action -- AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. Will you join King Geofrey in his pursuit?
