It's been a very long year. King Theroestes brought his army, including your poor self, deeper and deeper into enemy lands. It all went well, wining battle after battle, your army only grew stronger. as new kingdoms were subjugated, wealth and slaves were sent back to Dercia, your own land, while new recruits forcibly joined your ranks.
Yet the string of victories changed yesterday. This new Kingdom, Rabenna, looked like any other, and your army marched on to smash them. Yet, this time, it was the flank of your army that was breached. How it happened, you can't be sure, as you were just too busy fending off enemy soldiers to notice. But the thing is that all of a sudden the enemy was at your rear.
Panic stroke, King Theroestes was forced to run away with his cavalry, a small force that will have to fight all the way back force. Most of the infantry was forced to surrender or lay dead on the battlefield. Only a few managed to escape. You were among them.
You have slept under the ruins of a small hovel, one your army burnt down the night before. Dawn is coming and the terrible sound of an army of crows can already be heard ominously. These are very foreign lands and you only have a faint idea of your location. Somewhere to the East there's home, to the West is the city of Rabenna, two days worth of walk to the south runs a great river, they say, somewhere to the north there's a Barbarian land, where orks lurk. However the country around you is a great plain which offers little cover, perhaps you should hide and wait for the night.
