[Alrighty then, I guess I'll start with an intro. The rest of you can do the same if you wish.]

[In le fancy narrator voice] *The year was 22 AC. The Empire of steel was in a period of new development and expansion. For the past twelve years it had expanded its territory North, East, and West- soon though, its gaze fell to the South. Although it had never truly made contact with the so-called "kingdoms" to the South, it had watched them with a wary eye. Although for the most part they were occupied with each-other, a recent coalition had piqued the Empire's interest- and such a fighting force that was amassed brought a sort of new caution. Although the Empire of Steel had never pressed much farther south than to a large strip of uncertain territories- this being due to the kingdoms being more focused with neighboring borders than the North- it was clear that contact would be inevitable- and something preferably done on good terms. Although the Steel Army could hold its own against most if not all invaders relatively well, Emperor Phillip I had little desire to initiate what could turn into a long and costly war. It was in the spring of 22 AC that the Empire of Steel finalized plans for its first diplomatic expedition into the South- first contact and first impressions.*
