Oh vassal, who is your lord? Be you Pict? Briton? Irish? Perhaps even a Northman? Are you a virtuous Christian or a Pagan fluent in the rituals and sacrifices?
You are a vassal lord in the realm of Britain around the late 7th early 8th century. Your duties include raising armies to fight when war comes and keeping peace around the realm, and by that it means brutalizing the peasants and killing bandits.

Name: Yannic Gwallter Cecil
Age: 16
Physical Desc.: Brown-hair, pale, dark-brown eyes, 5'8, scrawny.
Bio: No one really knows who Yannic was born unto. He was found as naught but a babe on the side of the road by a minor Nobleman who had business in Germany. One of his guards made a snarky comment about the "oor peasant child in the side of the road" and the Nobleman ordered the carriage to stop. A soldier brought Yannic forth, and he was wrapped in soft blankets with a House's symbol, too muddled to identify. The Nobleman returned to England, bringing with him a Fosterling. He rose Yannic as his youngest son, teaching him the ways of Honor, Chivalry, and the Code of Battle.

Where's an old Irishman you need to pay 25 Scallingas when you need 'im? I request the more experienced Kotselta Seaxe to share their experience with the others. The Fians will improve their throwing abilities by setting up makeshift targets.

Yeah, I suppose so. I move to a nearby pub and buy enough alcohol to please the men, but not let them become heavily intoxicated.

you buy them mead, the cheap watered down stuff, it's so plentiful it only costs 50 scillingas, and it satisfies them without intoxicating them heavily.
It's nearing sundown, it might be time to move out now.

I assemble the men and wait for the other knights and nobles to move out. Or, if they have already, we'll make our way to the battle.

You move out, not sure where the others are, as you march into the night you pass by a village, recently sacked. It's a ghost town of wrecked houses, the mortally wounded and dead lie in the streets

We'll quickly sift through the village. We'll give mercy to the mortally wounded via death, as with how medical practices are now, they aren't going to live. We'll be looking for survivors.

you go through, anyone who was alive is either dead, or taken.
You continue onto the destination, a small plain, which across a creek that separates it, is the coast, and you see a large camp in the distance, brimming with activity. Some of the men are there already standing at the edge of the creek.
