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 &quotoor 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.

Pft. Guess I could have them go through physical conditioning, but I don't think that giving them a reason to fu**-off would be a good idea. They'll be informed that they will be trained in the week and that they may return home. I'll have that emissary look around for a good but cheap mercenary to give the recruits basic training.

Okay, sounds about right. With the Franks possibly scouting for an attack (and judging from how that blacksmith reacted, they're pretty good) I'd still like these kids to at least get to "Green Soldier" status instead of "Might As Well Be In A Loin-clothe." What better way than to have some guy who's callous and doesn't care about anything? I.E. A merc. Like, uh, Ser Bronn from Game of Thrones.

Ah, excellent, thank you for adding that.

"You have a deal, my good man. This deal will be over when those men have been trained. I may call upon you at a later day."

You sleep off for the day, the next morning you head out, and along the coast, the fishing men are surprisingly not there, and one of the Frankish ships is much closer to the shore.

The fishermen are probably just trying to stay safe from those Franks. I analyze the enemy ship, see what I'm going up against.

Presiding of Hefenfelth, You watch the hills on a foggy day. As you watch from the warm great hall, a servant comes over and informs you of a group of villeins (unfree serfs) have escaped and looted a nearby village, and could possibly come by here.

You try to get any details, but it's still quite a ways away, you do make out figures watching you from the bow of the ship, a chill runs down your spine.
