One of my most trusted soldiers said to me, on the eve of what was to be my reckoning, that I was destined to lose that battle. The Sarranids were crafty, clever, and their troops were well-armed. They had big, steely-eyed horses, they had expert archers and skirmishers, their steel was thought to be the best in Calradia. What did I, a Vassal of King Graveth, the true king of Calradia, have? A band of tribesmen, a few souls competent enough to hold a crossbow or a spear, but nothing more. Indeed, destiny was a harsh mistress.

But I defied destiny. Was it luck or circumstance? No matter the reason, the Rhodoks pulled through that day, damn the odds, and we drove those desert-dwellers away from our homeland. And from that day forward, since that defiance of destiny herself... I knew that I would one day lead my King Graveth and the Rhodoks to reunify all of Calradia, this divisive land.

Liked the game, because it inspires me like the merciless beating of an army corps' drums.
