The Lake Norton Expedition of 1723 AN is a planned two-thousand kilometre trip across north-eastern Corum. The expedition will leave from Southman, capital of East Zimia and the Wallis Islands, and aims to travel to the city of Ossyo on the shore of Lake Norton. Sponsored by the East Zimian and Wallisian government, the expedition will include personnel from the Regional Inspectorate of Corum and various friendly countries.
Background
Ever since the establishment of East Zimia and the Wallis Islands, expansionist elements within the kingdom had pushed for the acquisition of the distant lakeside city of Ossyo, capital of the former Realm of Bayen. The successful conquest of Corum Electric in 1721 AN helped to sway public opinion behind the expansionists, resulting in the first plans for an ambitious expedition to reach Ossyo by traversing the two-thousand kilometres of ungoverned territory between the kingdom and the shores of Lake Norton.
These plans were given further impetus by foreign expansion elswhere in Corum, while the highly-publicised ascent of Bear G. Rill to Mount Lacara helped to raise interest in an adventurous expedition through the wilds of the continent.
Planned route
Departing from the city of Southman, it was planned to travel south to Dodona (Thraci: Dodan), before turning west towards Tumi, former capital of the Hhoti Autonomous Territory. From Tumi, the expedition would head in a south-westerly direction towards Anzo, and then west to the city of Komi, where it was hoped to win the support of the local Imab-Adred-Nas population. Leaving Komi, the expedition would then continue westward until it reached Ossyo, where the historic amphibious gunboat, Iron Duck, would take to the waters of Lake Norton.
