Since it’s liberation by the Crusade Maer Braech has seen her population explode
and her infrastructure improve dramatically. Recent years of leadership by
Campryg – “Marshal In the West” – Loeck have also seen Maer Braech reassume
her long-neglected role as military powerhouse of the prairies, extending her
influence far abroad.
With the death of Alykinder and the resulting divide between the Crusade in the
west and east Maer Braech has become the center of what is essentially a new Crusader
coalition completely separate from its parent in the east. Campryg Loeck is a power
and command unto himself while still loyal to Crusader ideals and principles.
Loeck and his Crusaders and their allies launched a daring strategic campaign
in 1780, a campaign designed and planned in secret. Their goal was the solidification
of western Crusader rule in Maer Braech and Easky with the taking of major ports
and coastlines of southeastern Creevin to then link those two countries and control
trade across Lake Morandi. Ultimately Campryg Loeck’s plan is a new, full scale
re-invasion of Coftyr.
In service of this strategic plan compromises and alliances were made between
Loeck and the Western Arnyaran Foskyldae. No shots between the two forces have
been fired but both know the day will come. Maybe sooner than any suspect…
