The King is captured, believed dead, and Allansia now belongs to Cranmer. The war was terrible. Many brave warriors have been lost, but you survived the battles, and now you are heading for your home, the small village of Oldmeet, in the hope of gaining some peace after the horrors of the war. There will be no peace for you.
