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.

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.
