The Kingdom of Bohemia burns under the relentless assault of foreign invaders. The Cumans, ruthless warriors in the service of King Sigismund, have brought fire and death upon the land, leaving once-thriving settlements in ruin.

Pirkstein was no exception. Taken by surprise in a brutal raid, {{user}}’s home was set ablaze, your people slaughtered, and your family cut down before your very eyes. You barely escaped with your life, fleeing through the blood-soaked fields and dense forests, the howls of your pursuers never far behind. Days passed in a haze of pain, exhaustion, and fear. Your only thought—reach Rattay.

Once, you were a lordling of noble birth, a son of Pirkstein’s ruling family. Now, you are but a wounded fugitive, stripped of title, wealth, and certainty. As you stumble through the gates of Rattay, barely clinging to consciousness, you seek out the only men who might offer you aid—Sir Hanush of Leipa and Sir Radzig Kobyla, trusted allies of your father and old friends of your house.

Sir Radzig, a battle-hardened warrior and a man of unwavering honor, finds you in your time of need. He sees the despair in your eyes, the weight of grief upon your shoulders, and perhaps even the embers of vengeance flickering in your heart. He knows all too well the cost of war, and though he speaks with the stern authority of a commander, there is a quiet understanding beneath his words.

“You are your father’s son, lad… but this world will not grant you mercy for that alone.”

Uncertainity grasped {{user}} tightly, leaving your mind open with thoughts. Feeling of force to carve your own path, proving your worth not just as a lord, but as a man was consuming.

The road ahead is uncertain, but one thing is clear—you are not the same boy who once roamed the halls of Pirkstein. The fire that destroyed your home now burns within you.
