2016- Azermenajan-
Almost without warning, and with great clamoring destruction, a wave of new extremists erupted across the Caucasus region, following the powerful social media and fiery speeches of Ali-Khalil Al-Shirvani, and calling themselves the Extremist State of Europa or ESOE. ESOE’s stated goals were to take a weak Caucasus land full of energy, and attack Europe for the ultimate goal of establishing an Extremist State, while disrupting the global dominance of Western “Imperialists.” (It is important to note, to avoid the appearance of agreement with their barbarity, even when discussing cold facts, that their true name is never used. They themselves do not see their action as “extreme,” but it is hard for non-members to reconcile their true name of “Most Righteous State of Infinite and Holy Justice” with the brutality and cruelty of their methods- Editor.)

Having perceived the struggling Kingdom of Kirtapalot as weak enough to topple, and the space between Azermenajan’s hostile neighbors free from foreign interuption, ESOE first drove their caravan of Slaughter into the Eastern Azermenjani badlands into the wilds that would later be established as the town of “Freestone.” From here they kidnapped aid workers and civilians aligned with COFOR and MILFOR forces in an attempt to neutralize them. While they were never defeated, they never succeeded and withdrew from that theater in light of strong, united “Free Zigonian” forces defending their right to exist and later establishing a free city of their own as Freestone.

2022- to Present, Bagritznia-
Sensing weakness in Europe herself, ESOE made a bid to support all violent actors in Bagritznia from behind the shadows to push destabilization further, and once thwarted by the combined ASP, TF: TYR, and UN actions took matters into their own hands and began building a foothold in the country. First they sent suicide bombers into peace talks, and then murdered the elected government of Bagritznia before the wider world of extremism responded and began sending not just money, but guns and their sons. By 2023 they had amassed the largest land force in Bagritznia, and Al-Shirvani himself came out of hiding to lead the horde against Tollaviste.

The “SCAPEGOAT” Incident-
While reporting initially indicated that Ali-Khalil Al Shirvani was killed by a joint JSOC/QNG raid on the Palace of the Hashashim, an ESO safehouse in the mountains of Qarzim. However, as Ali-Khalil Al Shirvani can attest, his brother Ahmet Al Shirvani was the actual victim, much to the embarassment of JSOC and the “Lying Infidels who believe they can stop the movement of the “Most Righteous State of Infinite and Holy Justice”.
