Kheiran Campaign

[Furor]

The Kheiran Armory

   Nestled deep in the Kheirani [ Kay-Raa-nee] hills is Al Akha, the largest Imperial Foundry in Carad [kar-ahd] and the single largest concentration of Imperial forces in the Kheiran territory. The PC's have been sent by their commander, Aleksei Jaric [har-ik], as aides to the Kheirani rebels in their effort to secede from the empire.

   Jaric, though himself well supplied by the Kingdom of Algaria, is hard pressed to send supplies south and decides to send the PC's to aid the Kheirani rebels in gaining the necessary equipment to wage their insurrection. Upon arriving, the PC's find that the Kheirani women and children are being rounded up and put into encampments and that the Kheirani men are unwilling to fight.
   They convince Akashir Bey and his small band to fight alongside them, but do not win much more support until they liberate the prisoners at the Taghik camp. After the battle of Taghik, Aghar Beg, the Imperial Commander of the Lion Corps ( The light Janissary Corps sent to guard Al Akha and the foundry supply roads) slaughters the prisoners in the Gulgha camp. This sparks an all out revolt in Kheiran. The Kheirani, however, are ill equipped to oust the well-trained and extremely well equipped Lion Corps. The only hope of sustaining the insurrection is if the Kheirani can be supplied with weapons and artillery.
 
   This is where the PC's come in. They must lead the force of rebels tasked with overtaking the Al Akha fort and foundry. The Kheirani are fractious and jealous, factors which have led to the various clans involved electing the PC's as commanders of the delicate mission to spirit away the arms of Al Akha and distribute them evenly amongst the tribes. Simultaneous attacks by various clans upon the concentration camps at Jutta, Mahr-Bikhal and Al Taga will liberate the remaining prisoners and distract the bulk of the Lion Corps forces, allowing the PC's a chance to strike at their heart.

   Thus in this mission the PC's must overcome a Lion Corps infantry company with a force of less than 30. They must use deception, ingenuity and surprise to overwhelm the superior forces of the lion Corps.
