This world has seen many battles, in which kings have fallen under the sword of their rivals, while their opponents have obtained wealth and glory. The winners will remain in history thanks to their power and greatness; the others shall be covered by the shadow of defeat. No kingdom escapes from discord. Now the times of peace in As territories are difficult to remember. Honor is at stake because of the bloodshed. There is no other option but war. Thats why, today, weapons will be held high.
They say that
The desire of power is able to rot the most noble of the souls. The council of the kings of As is a loyal representation of this adage.
There, where permanent peace would be agreed, ambition corrupted the secret ways of the kings, and did not allow them to convene. Greed and egoism took over reason and from the lips of the nobles discord and bitterness dripped. As a result of this harsh disagreement each shire felt the need to establish its armies in the borders, in order to defend themselves from their enemies.
Military equipment began to grow, alliances among shires appeared. Álatas and Belnast joined together in one army. Dorsas and Élery did the same as their rivals.
Many years have gone by since then. Now only Clion and Foghills divide the armies; only the strategic ability of these lands will define the outcome.
