This is Caldaria, a land ravaged by wars between the 5 great nations: The Nords: Unparalleled infantry with heavy chain armor, and large axes for fighting and throwing. The kings and lords are hot headed and traditional
The Vaegirs: The balanced peoples, the kings cool headed and a variety of troops excelling at horsemanship and light infantries.
Kingdom of Swadia: Heavy Cavalry oriented with reliable heavy infantry, their lords and kings are very cautious, being in the center of the continent
Khergit Khanate: Born in the saddle, and die in the saddle, these people hail from the steppes, they excel in horsemanship, and their leaders are master hit and run tacticians, prolonged engagements are the bane of their existence
The Rhodoks: They're the best at killing horses with their spears and men with their crossbows, they are perfect for defending areas and will do it with their lives, not surprisingly their kings are the same
These kingdoms have fought for centuries. They are in desperate need of nobles and vassals to help raise armies for their constant state of warring.
This game will include a lot of talking, debating, etc. and not be all action so be prepared for it.

I sell the knobbed mace. Afterwards, I return to the garrison, and order another drilling. "The next two days, you men will be allowed to rest. However, drills start as soon as the deadline is over."

you get 250 Denars
as you walk out the horseman is back again, this time he is quite beat up, you notice an arrow sticking out the back of his armor, but he doesn't seem to notice
"Sir! Urgent message from Reindi Castle!"
you take the message and read it
"Need troops immediately, his has been sent to all nearby lords, the Rhodoks have rebelled!"
you know of the rodok tribes, they were the under the Swadian hand, but have slowly made their phony "Empire" under heavy taxation and levies, but a rebellion was expected, but not this early

"Thank you, soldier. Now get off the horse and let me get that arrow out of your armor." After getting out the arrow I return to the garrison. "Men! The Rhodoks have rebelled! Ten footmen, 25 militia, and 4 Men-At-Arms! All others will stay and mantain order here! I expect you to drill and train!" While the men assemble, I go look for an affordable horse. (maximum price of 300) I then return to the garrison, gather the troops, then we march to Reindi castle.

you march out, after 3 days you reach the castle, although it's already under siege, the Rhodoks, out of honor allow you to pass, you see them, all infantry, with large board shields, some sort of mix between a pavise and a tower shield, short spears and heavy crossbows

I nod in respect to the enemies' commanding officer. (Or the highest ranking one in the area) I try to estimate the enemies's numbers by tens. Once we get inside, I try to learn the layout of the castle. I order my men to wait by the gates. Meanwhile, I make my way to the lording figure's castle.
