Wallachia could not stand without war. She wars for independence from distant and foolish sovereignty. She wars to be free from foreign overlord. Her heroes are soaked in the cruelties they performed on their enemies like the hands of a maddened butcher. The greatest battle to be fought was the Night Attack at Târgovişte where the greatest hero of Wallachia, Vlad III The Impaler, slew thousands and burned the dreams of would-be conquerors. Having outmaneuvered or outlasted those that would shackle her, Wallachia now stands free and royal. Memory of success turns into history and patriotism. Defenders of Wallachia ever hope to emulate the heroes of old.To become a figure of inspiration to their countrymen and Void Bringer incarnate to invaders.
Wallachia's successes endure thanks to the centrality of militarism in all aspects of Wallachian life and the incentivisation of war in elite competition. Access to the black sea and its prominent trade centers means merchant culture has every opportunity to enrich our people alongside military expansionism. While invaders and their peoples are treated to either public execution or slavery. The lands brought to heel by the Wallachian elite are subject to considerably lenient policies by comparison. Rebellions are best dealt with by public execution of the leadership and their families. The surest rise to prominence for the common man is through war, trade and providence in support of Wallachia.
