The Centuries of Warfare
OOC
This is more of a story rather than a RP but il go somewhere with it eventually, i simply felt for something medieval. Yes the Map is incomplete, but use it for referance for now, il bring up a finished later. Ignor the images large size for now, i tried to use Photobucket tool to resize them, but it did not work, il look at it later. And Naturally il post more, later.
13th Century Somewhere on the eastern border of Kingdom of Aracarum, North of Kingdom of Varcal Border
Arcus walked amongst the corpses of the battlefield.
Aracarums army had come out of the forest on the side of the road leading out of the forest, where the 2 roads meet and become one. The other unknown army had charged them right away, a bit irrational, and a bit without thinking, but they where most likely totally determined not to fall into an ambush as they believed it was most likely.
As they charged the men that where coming out of the forest, who where terrified, as none where naturally in formation, nor expecting an attack, but then the rest of Aracarums army had arrived to the salvation from the forest road and with it the cavalry. The Aracarum cavalry had charged strait into unknown armies flank, crashing thought, sending men flying. The Cavalry had trappeled down most of the Archers and infantry and the General of the unknown army and his guards tried to flee the scene but some of the Aracarum cavalry had gone around the main unknown army and events and practically crashed into and trampelled down the general on his horse and his knight guards. The Cavalry that had killed the general had lances, just coming from a tournament not that many days ago, before going into war. One of the lances had gone strait into the generals head thought the mouth and strait thought the head.
In the mean time so had the Cavalry intending to attack the forest emerging infantry stopped and turned around, not just where there more infantry than cavalry, they could be pulled of there horses, but well the rest of the army was getting destroyed, the cavalry tried to flee and the rest of the army had turned to try to retreat and it had gone into a rout.
Arcus was now heading over to where the enemy general had died to see if he could see who he was. Some of the soldiers and knights belonged to the Varcal. The Rest apparently belonged to the kingdom of Selucy and Gremands, the 2 unholy nations, well they had in reality only, well only and only. They had come on the bad side of the Emporer of Siberian, he was also the Popes appointees of the land, practically Pope of the continent, and thus both the most powerful man on the continent, who could meddle with the affairs of nearly what ever kingdom he wanted to, and those who would not let him, was his enemies and of Christianity, thus the kingdoms had been declared enemies of Christianity and thus Christians could supposedly do what ever they wanted with the inhabitance and the land, without it being a sin, raping, murder, massacring, you name it really, Pope, would not approve of it, if he knew, but he was to far away to do anything or hearing any truth anyways.
The Kingdom of Aracarum, the neighbour of Gremands, was interested in land, and thus who could ignore a kingdom in the middle of Christian land in total chaos and with no punishment for doing it? Arcus Veerilion, the brother of the Duke of Veerilion, was hired, because he was amongst the best of the continents mercenaries.
Finally Arcus arrived over to the spot of the enemy general, macabre sight, a broken lance and a splattered head.
Hmm, fancy armor. Lets see now, medallion, cross. Rings, rings, ah there we got it, the family seal of Royal family of Varcal? Hmm, the shield, ah there, a prince? The Crown prince? murmured Arcus to him self.
So found anything interesting? asked Ana Anuana, she was Arcus Servant/girlfriend.
Well, the crown prince of Varcal is killed, so well Tell Verdant would you? Really big problems potensially or advantages. Said Arcus.
A Crown Prince? you sure? asked Ana.
Oh yea, he has both Ring seal and shield heraldry, that identifies him. Said Arcus.
I shall Tell. Said Ana.
And tell, him I doubt, the other 9 dead knights where simple guards. Arcus.
Shall tell. Said Ana as she walked away.
All they needed now was that Varcal join Selucy and Gremands as enemies and there would be a real bloody party, all allies suddenly enemies, all debt to them totally clean, and so forth. A real blood party, sigh, Arcus figured he was thinking too much of potentials.
I should take it more slowly. Mumbled Arcus to him self.
