The Kingdom of Senegal is a large Kingdom that lies within the Empire of Emblam where it is a dominant naval power and one of the most powerful nations of Africanas.

The Kingdom of Senegal is dominated by the two ethnic groups in the form of the Pheonicians of Carthage and the Ghanaian of which the Pheonicians are transplanted from Carthage after the Carthagian Empire took control of much of western Africanas and the Ghanaian's are the natives of the island.

The Kingdom of Senegal has the state religion of Nestorian Christianity and despite coming to side with the Orcs during the Orc Invasion of France it was Christianity which became more powerful and was not diminished by this moral decay.

The Kingdom of Senegal contains two main military orders within its borders with the first being the Order of Ekrodomis of whom acts as an elite knight order as well as an intelligence order, while the second is the Order of Vendolimis which is a Magi order that trains and organizes the Magi individuals within the Kingdom of Senegal.

The Kingdom of Senegal would become increasingly influencial in the area of Africanas when it made trade agreements with the Empire of Emblam where in they constructed a large amount of bridges for the Orcs who were unable to cross the water otherwise and in return they were given large amounts of minerals and wealth as well as becoming quite skilled in the engineering of bridges. During the Ghana-Senegal War Natine would watch as her father, and four brothers were killed leading to her becoming the queen of Senegal and as queen she would negotiate a peace treaty with the Kingdom of Ghana and as a result of this peace treaty it was believed by Ghana that Senegal was back in step with the alliance between the two nations but in fact the deaths of her father and brothers broke Natine who became obsessivly hateful towards the Kingdom of Ghana and specifically her former lover Ozwald Boateng. The Kingdom of Senegal would send its prince to assist Yor during the events of the Emblam Civil War but after arriving at Wrothgaria the prince would decide that Yor's cause was lost and turned against Yor siding with Doblin and bringing the naval and ground forces of Senegal to the side of Doblin. The Kingdom of Senegal would following its assistance of Doblin during the events of the Emblam Civil War become a favored partner for the Doblin Emblam Empire and in this way became incorporated into the Emblam Empire where it became the engineers of the empire and begin designing the bridges that would allow the Orcs to reach areas such as Ghana which they otherwise would not have been able to reach.

The Senegal-Ghana War

Main Article : The Senegal-Ghana War

The Great Senegal-Ghana War
You should have believed me Ozwald. You're going to wish you had believed me.

Hasdrubal, and Aradus Abrefa would lead the second Senegese army into the Battle of Accra where there goal was to delay the main Ghana army at Accra long enough for the main Senegal army to take control of Kumasi, but they discovered that the forces of Ghana were far more numerous then their intelligence had told them and the 2nd army would be crushed at the Battle of Accra, and their defeat was so complete at the battle that no one was able to escape to warn the 1st army at Kumasi.

Battle Tombo Island

Hamilcar, and Hanno Abrefa would be commanded to attack the island of Tombo on the south-eastern waters of Ghana and during this attack Hamilcar leading the 4th army of Senegal would walk the army into a trap which led to the destruction of the Senegal fleet transporting them.

Battle of Kumasi

Hanibal Abrefa would be in command of the 3rd Senegal Army which was leading the assault on the southern defences of Kumusi and it was here where he would be ambushed by the arrival of the Ghana army of whom would crush the entire 3rd army and during the fighting Hanibal would be killed.

Defeat

“All you ever had to do was believe me. Look at everything I have done to show you how hurt you made me. You could have stopped all of this.”
— Natine Abrefa

As the remaining forces of Senegal retreated back to Senegal following the catastrophic battle of Kumasi, and as these retreating forces returned to Senegal it became clear that the casualties were immense including nearly the entirety of House Abrefa having been killed including the King of Senegal and his heirs leading panic among the remaining leaders of Senegal. In the chaos that appeared following this it was Natine Abrefa who stepped into the vacuum and rallying the remaining leadership to her she would through sheer charisma fight off attempts to have another house named to the monarchy and had herself named the Queen of Senegal and while she was personally rising to great heights she was devastated when her mother Domina Abrefa overcome with depression committed suicide and Natine in order to protect her position hid this suicide. Natine having been named queen following all the death among House Abrefa she would negotiate a peace treaty with the Kingdom of Ghana and as a result of this peace treaty it was believed by Ghana that Senegal was back in step with the alliance between the two nations but in fact the deaths of her father and brothers broke Natine who became obsessively hateful towards the Kingdom of Ghana and specifically her former lover Ozwald Boateng.

The Senegal-Emblam Alliance

Main Article : The Meeting of Wrothgaria

“You ask me if I knew what I was getting into when I went to Wrothgaria. I knew exactly what helping them meant.”
— Natine Abrefa

With Natine Abrefa as the Queen of Senegal she spent a year consolidating her holdings in Senegal executing anyone who questioned her leading to her having a complete stranglehold of the Kingdom of Senegal and this only got better with the return of Elissa Magonid of whom as a mother figure to her returned to keep her safe, but even with all this going well for her she could not shake the hatred she had for Ghana and this would lead to her beginning plans to meet with Emblam. Natine would travel to Wrothgaria accompanied by her elite Order of Ekrodomis and at the meeting of Wrothgaria convinsed the Emblam leadership including Doblin that she could get them to Ghana on ships and in return she wanted revenge and control of the waterways of Africanas and at this meeting they would agree to her demands and she left to begin construction of the Senegal Fleet.
