NEW CAMPAIGN MAPS

Long before Zoe’s first arrival to Tandria the fate of two siblings took an unsuspected turn:

PROLOGUE: CHAINED

“Two juvenile troublemakers, siblings of noble descent, are taxing my patience by defying our command and refusing to surrender their homeland. We will have to punish this impudence and make an example of these brats to show the Tandrian people that resistance against the Two Kings is futile.
Rovyn and Dracorian, Count Dracon’s offspring, have entrenched themselves in Old Drakenau. It’s here, in the their late father’s shire, where we’ll face them and put an end to their mischief. And don’t contain yourself: It's not the time for rules or remorse! Invade Old Drakenau, besiege the two castles of Rovyn and Dracorian and throw them to my feet – chained!”

If only Merchant Prince Kruger, the Two Kings’ moneygrubbing lap dog, hadn’t separated me and my sister… I can only hope that the Rocky Spire Prison Rovyn is kept in isn’t as back-breaking as the Prison Isle Kruger put me on."

While we debarked at the shore, the Two Kings set up camp in the north. We must interfere and help the defenseless Settlers to spur the Rebellion.
