As soon as the King had marched his army into the barbarian homeland,
the inevitable rumors of a plot to seize the throne began to spread.
A few seasons into the war, the capture of the King was reported from
abroad sparking disorder among the peasantry.  Sure enough, the enemy grabbed
this opportunity to invade and after several bloody engagements the splintered
country became locked in civil war.
When the initial onslaught had finished, your father attempted to 
negotiate a treaty, arranging a meeting at the stronghold of Duc Beauregard.
Along the way there was an ambush and your father along with several
other lords were brutally hacked down by a band of unknown raiders.
With no treaty signed, the enemy continued their assault forcing county
after county to yield until the country was lost.
Bruised and exhausted, you have been beaten back to a forest on an 
overlooked peninsula where it is rumored a small band of bedraggled troops are 
hiding.
Although you believe there is little hope, maybe from this refuge you can at
least avenge your father's death.
