24 Des 1232 "I knew we shouldn't have trusted them! Who's grand idea was it to have Braxxian mercenaries lead us to an ambush!" "Calm down, Lucia", I said reassuringly. "We're not dead... yet". "Those backstabbing mercenaries", Carper grunted, "I say, We kill them in their sleep!" "You know, Carper might have a point, most of their men are drunk from the ale we brought them", Rebus added.

Many have tried to overthrow king Sigal, none were successful and all those who were involved, disappeared along with their families. However, Cicero is a coward, although there ...

I'm afraid no country stands a chance. War is imminent. I have sent word to my friends and family to leave this continent, I too would be joining them.
