The time of curses...
These are troubling we find ourselves in.
The lands of Pegania now closed off from the world. The western seas and the eastern border controlled by foreign powers. The northland the south both endless and treacherous. There is no way out. The curses of the lycanthrope and the Upyr are steadily spreading across the lands. Thespirits of old haunt the countryside, taking those they find with them to the afterlife. The church of the holy sign has been driven mad by the omens of impending doom. It's archbishops now fight amongst themselves for control over what is left.
And the Cossacks, the great military might of Pegania. Slitting each other's throats for the sake of their own cause.
as the situation worsens, the survivors search in vain for a way out.
You must assume the leadership role over a subset of one of the leftovers of the warring factions.
Grow your small militia or bestial hive by way of plundering and turning the remaining civilians to your cause.
Lead skirmishes across the countryside, abandoned villages and fallen cities.
Build your hive or stronghold to protect your ilkand resources.
Carve your path across these forsaken lands.
Take up your own cause, or align with others.
Yet know this.
Whether you're a Cossack captain, holy bishop or a foul beast called forth from oblivion.
In these accursed lands your luck may change on a whim.
Those you lead turn mad.
Those you follow betray you.
The battles you fight lost.
