Fort Krepost’ Orlov

Situated in the Orlov Steppes is an old krepost dating back to the times of the Kievan Rus - originally built by the preceding Khazar armies, during the reign of a short-lived principality, and now occupied and reinforced by the Imperial Russian army in its struggle to suppress defiant Cossack hosts and incursions by Tatar and Bashkir mercenaries of the steppes. A few miles north of Krepost' Orlov is the Russian settlement of Orenburg, which has recently been subject to raids and violent uprisings by displaced Circassian groups, forcibly resettled into the Orlov Steppes by the Imperial Russian Army. In response, the Orlov regional army has set up its headquarters in Orenburg to protect the Russian settlers. In the name of God, and under the heavenly leadership of Serenor Kujo and Great Emperor Crinton, all of the world shall be encompassed under the Eagle of the Rus; unless the people are to resist.
