Mount&Blade : Warband – From Commoner To A King
The Sad Beginning and First Quest
I was born in the lands of Calradia, I only had my father who raised me, I know nothing of my mother, nor' the memories of her. I'm all alone since childhood, only my father, who had become my guardian and my mentor. As a child, my family scrabbled out a meager living from my father's wage as a knight, in service for the local lord of Unuzdaq Castle of the Khergit Khanates. It was not an easy existence; my family was so poor that I would never get a good education. But, that thing doesn't make me feel sorry for myself. My father trained me well; I'm introduced into knighthood by him. I trained day and nights, from basic moves into advanced weapon mastery. I'm trained mainly to defend myself in the streets with or without weapon in hand.
I started to learn about the harsh world in the lands of Calradia almost as soon as I could walk and talk, I spent my early life as a steppe child. As a boy growing out of my childhood, I already ride through the great steppes of the Khergits. On a horse of my own, learning the ways of the grass and the desert itself. Although sometimes I went hungry, I became a skillful hunter in my progress. No matter it is a bow or a crossbow, I could easily take down prey from distance, and dine on it at the night. I also became an adept pathfinder in this trackless country, my body started to harden with muscles, as I grew into the life of a nomad man.

Then, as a young adult, life changed as it always does. I became a troubadour, thought the distinction felt sudden to myself. Somewhere, along the way I've become a man. And the whole world seems to change around me; I set out on my own without anything but the instrument slung behind my back, and also my own voice. It was a poor existence, with many hungry nights, when people failed to appreciate my play, but luckily, I was able to survive on my music alone. As the years fly by, I became adept to play at the drunken crowds in my taverns. And even better at talking anyone out, in my own needs.
But, everything changed when I returned home. As soon as I came back home, my father, betrayed by his own friend and were accused as a traitor. And accused that he planned an assassination on the head of the local lord, by the next morning I reached my house, everything was empty. I saw a note from my father, in his note, he told me to come to the town center. I hurriedly ran back to the town, I saw the crowd gathering in the front of the guillotine. My heart is racing with my footsteps as I saw my own father was there, his head cut down and lying in front of the guillotine, separated from his body.
'This is an example for anyone who dares to stand against me, this traitor, is worth to die…!' said that man, it was the lord, lord of Unuzdaq Castle
I returned back home, I put away my instrument that had guided me for years. I walked to the chest which my father used to store his weapons and armors; I picked up everything I could get, there's a good Nomad Saber still in fine shape. I clip it right on my waist, there's also a bow and sets of arrows. Also there's a worn-out Knight Shield, a thick-brown leather jerkin became my armor. I run to the back of the house to find the good old horse I used to ride when I was young, he seems in a great shape.
As soon as I mount the horse, soldiers were shouting at me and waving their blades. Some are pointing it to me, I quickly rides straight to them, I break their formation with a charge from my horse while I'm busy dodging the swords which are coming to me. If they really wish to get me, then they're welcome to try. I tried my best and successfully escaped from my captors, what's left is only to reach the town gate. There are two elite guards which stand between me and the town gate; I draw my bow as they did the same. I ride at full speed while keep on aiming at one of them, as soon as they released their arrow, I hugged my horse down, dodging the arrows. I stood back and balancing my steed, without any doubts, I released the string, and the arrow flies straight to the chest of the guard. He fell down, quickly died with one shot in his heart. The other guards are too surprised to catch me, I ride past him and quickly left the town. Within an hour, I already far away, I'm looking at the town where I used to grew up before. But now, there's no more home, I'm a fugitive in my own steppe, I'm forced to leave my home, not just with revenge, but with lust of justice.
'What's done today, will be paid another day… I will return, and take back what is mine…' I mumbled as I ride blindly in the steppes.
Only I who know why I give up this life as a troubadour, and become an adventurer. Still, to be honest, it was not a difficult choice to leave. With the rage burning brightly in my heart, I want vengeance, I want justice. What's done to me cannot be undone, and these debts can only be paid by blood as it is done by blood. I'm not sure when my home became my own prison, when the familiar became mundane. However, I cannot go back. There's nothing to go back to, whatever home I may have had is now gone. And I must face the fact that I'm out in the wide wide world, all alone by myself, all alone to be left sink or swim…
'The LEVINGRADS IS NOT DEAD YET! I'M STILL HERE! ME! ROSWELL LEVINGRAD!' I yelled to the distance and wipe away my tears; I decided to go to Tulga, the capital of Khergit Khanates.
I came alone, tired from riding, it took 3 days ride on a horse to reach Tulga. With no food, not even mere provisions, I eat what I can hunt; I drink the water that I could find. I must avoid the bandits along my way; I'm still an easy prey for these looters. And so, I finally reached the gates of Tulga. It seems the guards didn't really notice me; I was dressed as an ordinary traveler, so it seems they won't be noticed that I'm the fugitive they were searching. By the time I found an inn at Tulga, I lay rest for a while; I have around 300 denars inside my pocket. It will be enough, at least, until I find a job and get more, then raise my army, and kill that lord.
However, I felt asleep quickly and awake before it is dawn, as a steppe child I used to be, I always eager to explore my surroundings. I venture out to the streets which are still deserted, no sign of anyone, it is empty and dark. No sign of sunrise anytime soon, I walk out from the inn. Soon, I heard a sound which stands the hair on the back of my neck on end – the rasp of blade slicing out from its scabbard…
I turned back and attacked by a bandit all of a sudden, I was not prepared and the blade sliced my shoulders. I backed up a bit; I sliced out my sword from its sheath. Despite my injuries, I fight quite well, the bandit seems drunk and not in the power to keep balanced handling his weapon. Soon, I overpowered him and quickly put an end to his misery. He fell backwards as I land my final strike – a deadly rising uppercut my father had told me…
I heard another footsteps getting near to me, I turned back and held my sword, preparing for another one. But, I saw a friendly face with a well-tanned coat. My mind is at ease knowing that this man is not another bandit, I suffered enough injury. And I cannot hold it much longer…
'Are you all right? Oh well… I guess you're alive at any rate… I'm not sure if we can say the same for the other fellow over there…' he glanced to the dead body of the bandit, which I had finished. 'Guess, that's one less thief trouble off from our streets at night, although Heavens know that he is won't be the last… Anyway, maybe you can help me with something? Let's talk more inside, out here; we don't know who's listening… You sure you can stand the wounds?' I nodded, though it is quite an injury, I've suffered worse.
The merchant takes me to his house, once inside, he stands by the door while watching if there's someone following us back then. And then, finally convinced that I weren't followed, he sat down next to me to speak.
'Now let me explain my proposition…' he stated, while I'm tending my wounds with some medicinal herbs I picked along my way to Tulga. 'We've always had brigands on the hills, driven to banditry by war, debt, love of violence. Recently, however, they have getting bolder - leaving their camps in the wild and venturing into the town, looking for unwary prey. The watch commander tells us it's because of all the fighting on the frontiers - fewer men to keep an eye on the streets – But I'm not sure what to make of that. It seems to me that the most logical explanation is that these bandits have an ally behind the walls, who helps them entering the town unnoticed. And helps them identify particularly tempting targets… Last week, you see, they took my brother…' his face became frown; I know how it feels, to lose someone who is dearest to us.
'I don't know what my brother was thinking – a lad from prominent house, out alone after dark times like these… Well, I suppose, you were too, but you're a stranger here, and didn't know how bad things had become. He had no such excuse, but he's family, so what can you do? If you don't protect your kin, then people will start thinking you can't protect your investments, either, and I can't have that… No doubt the gang soon will send a word for a ransom, but I have no intentions to pay it!' he's becoming serious, I still with him, carefully listening to his story, since I see this is a perfect opportunity.
'So here's my proposition…' he finally stands up, 'You look like you have a bit of experience with a blade – and more importantly, you must have a bit of fire in your belly, or you wouldn't be venturing in Calradia, seeking fortune. So here's what I'm asking you to do: gather a small party, track down these bandits to their lair, teach them a lesson or two that they won't forget… And I get my brother back safe; in return, you'll earn my lasting gratitude of and a bit of silver. What do you say?' I humming for a bit, but then I stand up and smiled brightly. 'I am interested, give me more details…'
The men sighs happily, perhaps I've made his burden a bit of ease.
'You won't be able to do this by yourself though, if you try and take the whole gang singlehandedly. The hunter will become the hunted, I'll warrant that. You'll first want to round up as group of volunteers, there's always few lads in the villages around here. Looking for a bit work that's more interesting than tiling soil and or hauling water. They'll follow if you pay… So, take this…' he took out a purse with denars inside it; my eyes brighten for a moment. 'Take this purse of 100 denars, consider it as an advance for your reward. Go round up to the villages, and use money to hire some help. I'll reckon you need at the very very least five men to take these bandits…' he finally ends his long lecture – if I may say that was a lecture, instead of information.
'Very good, sir… I'll go around and gather the force needed to safe your brother…' I took the purse from his hand, 'Good, you can find me again here at the tavern in Tulga. After you got your group assembled, then we'll speak again of what to do next…' he replied, then I headed out from the house with the purse on my hand, I returned to the inn and it was sunrise. I packed up and left Tulga by sun appears fully on the skies, my next stop: Dusturil. It is a village a little bit to southeast of Tulga, a safe road from bandits.
I headed out of the town as soon as I get prepared, I sighed for a while, trying to forget what has happened back then at the Unuzdaq Castle. And how did I see the head of my own father lying on the wooden floor of the Guillotine, separated from its body. I keep trying to kill that memory, as I ride to the southeast, past the plains to the village of Dusturil
The road is clear, but I was unaware of the looters around these parts. I was confronted by several men whom are now standing in front of me. Their number is around 9 men, all armed, with an arrogant looking face. While I'm alone by myself, mounted, and I could just leave and run away. I don't see anyone wearing a bow, so it'll be a great opportunity to get away. But, I wished to test my skills, though it is a DEATH WISH. But, I must do this; I feel that I want to teach these bastards a thing or two.
'Fancy to meet you here, sir… But, this place is quite dangerous, perhaps a few denars could make your travel a bit more… safe?' the bandit smirks while the others laugh at his strange accent, 'It's your money or your life, man…' another one shouted. 'So, you bring anything with you?' asks one of the bandit and walks closer to me, he thinks I won't escape because they outnumbered me. 'No, but I brought steel…' I sliced out my blade from its scabbard and slashed that man on his face, he fell backwards, dead.
'GET HIM!' yells one of the bandits as all of them draw their weapons; I quickly ride my horse and move away from them, escaping from my captors. But, something hit my head real hard. It was stone; they're throwing stones at me. I fasten my horse and it works quite well, the stones no longer falling on my back. I turned back and draw my bow, those bastards still following me. With my years of training as a steppe child, I snipe every each one of them. One by one fell down by my arrow, while I'm shooting at ease on my steed. I sent the last one of them running on their nails; I draw another bolt and prepare to launch it. I snipe him from far, I pointed the bow to the skies, matching the altitude for the perfect blow. I released the arrow, its flying straight to the skies. I watched as the men keep on running, then he suddenly fell to the ground, struck by an arrow on his head. I put back my bow and ride towards Dusturil.
The village of Dusturil seems to be flourishing; the fields and orchards are humming with activity. Fields filled with sacks of grain and drying meats testifying the productivity of the village's cropland and pastureland. I remembered what my father had told about me, this village and the lands surrounding it is belongs to Sebula Noyan of Khergit Khanates. I entered the village and meet with the village elder, he is an old fellow, but he seems to be strong in his early age. He still can stand perfectly and seems to have sharp eyes as well, 'What can I do for you now, young adventurer?' asks the elder, as I dismounted from my horse. 'I need some men who are willing to fight in a war; perhaps there are some people who are interested to test their fortunes in war?' I asked, but I didn't notice there's some kids, quite younger than me, were eavesdropping right behind me.
'Well, I guess they're here…' the elder points his finger right behind me; he chuckled heartily as any old man could. I turned back and see some young boys and girls, around 17 or 18 maybe, standing behind me with suspicion on their face.
'These young lads can fight?' I asked, one of the boys walks forward. 'Yes, sir! We've been prepared through certain practice! We're at scale to enter combat!' his voice seems to have no doubt, but that'll be different when they saw enemies slicing their blades from their scabbard. It seems I must make sure they're all ready for the fight ahead, 'Well, you can take them if you do a little favor for us…' I turned back and lift my eyebrows, the elder smiled. 'You're a man with blades, quite experience in fight… How about you go and take down some bandits?' I smiled reluctantly, 'Without any men I can't…'
'I'll go with you…' another boy showed up, but he seems quite older than the others. Perhaps he is around 20 or 22, the elder turns around and seems to be a little bit surprised. 'It seems you could take him as well, he is better coming with you…' I can't deny that he looks well-prepared, he has a bow and set of arrows, another nomad saber clipped on his waist. He seems to be a cold person, he has a serious face, and I bet he can fight quite well.
'Heh, you're not older than me…' he walks right to me and examining my body, 'Great… Elder, mind if I joining him?' he asked, the elder seems to pretend to not hear what does he say. 'I'll take that as yes…' he stated, and then turned back to me. 'So, where are the bandits that we should hunt?' I asked, he points the direction towards north. 'A bit to the north, they're just in small numbers, nomad lifestyle, moving from a place to another, but recently showing up in village causing terror, I'm quite positive they came through the north…' I saddled up on my horse again, 'Let's give them a little visit…' I said and started to ride away while he following me from behind, right with his own horse.
We ride towards northern forests, it is a small forest and, perhaps, I've mistaken to call it a forest. It is more like plains with a little bit crowded vegetation at all; I keep aware for any ambush while that boy from Dusturil leads the way. Soon, he stopped and stared to the distance. 'We're here, their camp is right behind these limits…' he said and started to draw his bow, 'We better climb the hills there…' I pointed to the hills on our right, but that means we should abandon our horses, since it'll be easy to spot when you on top of the hill with a horse. We hurriedly get to the hills; we hid behind the bushes to prevent the bandits to know that we're here. And yes, he is right; the bandits are there, sitting surrounding the campfire.
'Their numbers are few, I see no ranged weapons…' the boy said while keeps observing from behind the bushes, 'Cover me…' I said and slowly crawl out from the bushes, keeping low and walk slowly so that the bandits won't notice me. 'When I run down from this hill, you shot them…' the boy shocked, 'YOU HAVING A DEATH WISH?' I shake my head slightly, 'No, but I wished I've dead already…' I pulled out my blade from its scabbard, running down from the hill like a lunatic and shouting; the bandits stood up and start to unsheathe their weapons. But, one of them fell backwards and hit the ground with an arrow struck his neck. The others shivered in fear and looks at the hills, when I arrived and confronted them. I pointed my blades at them, 'It is over now… You can choose to be attacked by my army, on the hills, or abandon these plains… And leave the villagers in peace…' the bandits quickly disband and ran to the forest, perhaps this isn't the last of them, but I don't think I will see them in the village for quite a long time.
'Nice shot, by the way…' I said to the Dusturil boy as we entered back the village, '… that shot was a miss, I didn't even hit the head…' he dismounts his horse and walks away. The village elder smiled when I returned to him, 'I don't need you to tell what's happened…' he said and then he gave a signal, some boys come out fully armed, around 11 boys' maybe. 'They're yours now; it is 5 denars for each man…' I noticed a girl which seems also among the ranks. 'I cannot take a girl inside my party…' I said gently and poke her shoulder, but she didn't even move.
'Oh, that little fella won't give up, sir… She will keep like that; being a soldier is the entire thing she had dreamed…' I'm quite surprised to hear that, a girl who wishes to be a soldier, that's quite selfish.
'I cannot take her with me…' I stated, the girl walks out from the ranks and leave without saying a word, I know that I've broken her dreams, I've broke her future as well, but it is better to be just a village girl. Rather than a girl who accustomed to the life of a soldier, men searches for a girl with skin as smooth as Khergit velvets, and with voice as smooth as the Vaegir snow. Before we're ready to leave, I paid each of my men for their first service. 'Let us move…' I mounted my horse as my newly recruited men followed from behind, I keep my pace slow so the others can catch up, since they did not mounted on any horse.
We returned to Tulga and headed straight to the tavern; I tied my horse outside and walk in. There's a face which seems to be relieved to see me once again, it is that merchant, I quickly sit next to him as my men gathers around. 'Splendid work… You've hired even more than five men to confront that bandit. Now – travelers entering Tulga seen there's small group of robbers lurking just outside of the town. I suspect that they all from the same band of the bandits, the one that took my brother. Hunt them down and defeat them, and make them disclose the location of their lair!' the merchant is carried away by his emotions, seems quite excited seeing me and my well hardened men, but he tried t keep his voice low. 'Very well, let us begin the hunt…' I smiled to my men; they seemed to be excited to get their first battle.
I left Tulga and set out to the plains once again, as soon as we scour the countryside. I found several men, around the number of 4 walking with blades on their hands. I had the chance now to attack, but I must keep one alive, so that they will tell where their lair is located. I approached the bandits as they were started to trembling, I looked at every each of them, they seems not really afraid with me, though I have more men with me.
'What do you want?' asks one of the bandit, seems to be the leader of the group. I give a threatening face to him and said as threatening as I can, 'Tell me where you held the prisoner, and you'll be on your way…' he laughed off at front of my face, I felt the anger rushing through my veins. 'Hah! Those prisoners are only going to free if you pay their ransom. Do you bring any silver?' he asked, I turned to my men and smiled, secretly giving a sign for them to spread out. I turned back to the bandit, 'No, but… I BROUGHT STEEL…' I sliced my saber from its scabbard, but the bandit quickly stabbed the heart of my horse with a dagger. I fell down from my horse, almost become a prey for the bandit.
But, luckily, I was able to kick him, pushing him away. My men laying waste to the rest of the bandit, smacking them with clubs and cleavers, or a quarter staff. The bandits are easy to put down, now it is only me and this man. The others keep their distance to watch my duel, they cheering out my name, waving their weapons to give me the courage. The bandit pull out his sword, he is now wielding a knife and a blade. If he had a good experience in handling both, then I'm practically screwed. But, it proves that he is all talk, he rushes forward only to be pushed back only by my fist. I leaned back to avoid his slash, and I slashed his arms. Disarming his blade, he quickly surrendered as I point my blade right in front of his neck. One victory, thousands more to go…
'Aye! Spare me! Spare my life!' plead the bandit; I sliced back my sword to its sheath and spits on his shoes. 'Let me go, and I'll go far away from here, and learn an honest trade, and you'll never heard of me again!' he plead once more, honestly, I took pity in him. 'I'll spare your life…' I offered my hand, he greeted it and I help him to stand up. I patched his wound with the medicinal herb, he just wondering what I've done to him. 'But, in exchange, I want information… Either you or your mates kidnapped a brother of a prominent merchant in town. Tell me where you're hiding him, and give me your word that you'll stop troubling the people of these parts, and you can go free…' I gave him his dagger; he just stands there, wondering why I would do this stuff.
'Oh, bless you, sir! Bless you! We've done the lad no harm. We've been keeping him in our hideout near Dashbiga, I'll describe the area nearby in detail, so there's no mistaking it…' then he started to describe the whole terrain and the exact number of bandits which can be expected. And then, he leaves after saying thanks. After discussing what to do next, I decided to return back to the tavern and have a talk with that merchant. We're welcomed by the guards who seen our act from the distance, one of them said, 'If we had more brave men like you, perhaps we could just go and catch all of the bandits off…' I just laughed when I heard that, the guard laughs as well. As soon as I reached the tavern, I was greeted by the merchant with high hopes on his face.
'So, you've found out where they hid my brother? Splendid work… I flatter myself that I'm a fine judge of a character, and you look to be a man who can get things done. Now, go out and save this unworthy hide!' he smiled happily, though his words seems quite harsh. I see there's a brink of happiness inside his eyes, 'Very well, I'll go now and attack the bandit's lair, and save your brother!' I turned away from the merchant, my men is having a break after some good winning. They pint on a mug of ale, and I guess I could take a pint.
I came across to notice a girl, with blonde hair dressed in a thick fur robe. Her face looks serious and his eyes are sharp, by her look, I can say she is no ordinary girl to pint in the tavern with many drunken man who could done such things to a beauty. She might be looks quite older than me, but we seem to come with the same age, perhaps the dust from travelling covers her beauty? I sat next to her, she glanced at me spontaneously.
'What do you want?' she asked furiously, I'm quite surprised to see her reaction. 'Merely to pass the time of day, ma'am… If you're not otherwise engaged…' she seems a bit settled down, 'Ah, well, if you must know… Perhaps I must tell you…' she stared at his mug of ale, while I prepare to hear another story from this young woman. 'My name is Matheld, I'm from an old family from the northern lands, the daughter of a thane and also a wife to one…' I'm surprised to know she is already had a husband, 'I fought by my husband's side, his partner both in war and in peace. But my husband died of the plague, when I was still childless. My husband had decreed that I would inherit his lands, in the absence of an heir. My brother-in-law, cursed be his name,' her eyebrows seems to bent like a scimitar, her face seems so mad to remember her memories again. 'He said that, it was not in our custom that women could inherit a thanedom. That was nonsense, but his gold bought him loyalties of enough of my husband's faithless servant for him to install himself in my hall. So I fled, something I was raised never to do, and something I hope never to do again…' her face turns sad.
'When I have an army, I will go back, and take what is mine…' she seems determined, but I could not afford to have her fighting in my side, though I see that she is fit as a soldier. I poked her shoulder and left her on her own, I returned to my men. 'We need more troops…' said one of my men, the other agreed. 'We cannot storm into a lair with only eleven men; we're merely armed, though we have bows and arrows… Their number perhaps can be far more than expected…' said another one; I came to think of it. They're right, we need more men, then I noticed some men with chainmail and sword on their back, they're Hired Blades. They could be a good force, but I'm afraid I don't have some money to hire them.
'You get into trouble I see…' Matheld suddenly appears behind me with a smirk on her face, I'm quite surprised, and she was eavesdropping from the time I left her. 'I had a few men with me, quite good soldier; I don't mind helping you to attack a bandit lair… As long as I get my share of the loot…' she smiled, I turned back to my men, asking for their agreement.
'I can't say why not…' said one of the men, the others agreed. 'Very well, you may join force with me… And, get your fine share of loot…' I turned back, Matheld already standing behind me with some men, it seems they're mercenaries. 'You got a deal…' she caresses my cheek gently, and I walked away, I'm aware of things like that, so I'm avoiding it.
I and Matheld left Tulga and head to Dashbiga before its dusk, according to the information I procured from the bandit. The hideout is nearby Dashbiga, we reached Dashbiga and rest for a while to prepare for our assault. It is almost dark, we must strike soon. We left the village and headed a bit to the west, we found the hideout. Down on a narrow defile, the men must abandon their horses and advance by foot. The bandits are unaware of out attack, I stealthily draw my bow while walks slowly towards the light of a campfire, and I released a shot. It hits the target, the bandit fell down, and the others stand up and grab their shield. My men keep firing them with arrow, some hit the bandit right at their legs and arms, leaving them immobilized. We rushes forward with the rest of our men, while the others giving cover fire. Matheld shrieks in a very fearsome fashion, it even strikes fear inside my heart. But, I soon get a hold of myself. We battled through the bands of bandits which quickly thrown into chaos because of the nightfall.
'Archers!' I yelled and giving a sign, 'March! Keep firing!' I soon heard screams from behind; the archers were sent into chaos by arrows from the top of the hills. I saw 2 of my men fallen, I quickly grab my bow and started to fire to the hills. Quickly penetrating the archers, Matheld rushes to the hills with her men, brawling with the archers. By the sunset come to an end, me and my men shrieks with victory as we tend to the fallen. We buried their body, but before we strip over their weapons and armors. May the Heavens bear them swiftly to their ancestors, as they fought bravely in the fight today…
I quickly went back an found a young man approaching me, it seems this is the person I'm looking for. He looks fine, no scratch, no sign of beating or anything. The bandits have done him no harm, I felt bad to just rush in and kill them like bunch of beasts, but such things must be.
'Thank you! Thank you, sir, for rescuing me from those fiends. Did my brother in Tulga put you onto their track?' I nodded and wipe some blood off from my face, 'Yes. I told him that I would find you. I advise you to return quickly to your family as quickly as you can – and be careful on the road.' I gave him a sword I took from the bandit and a shield, 'Be VERY careful…' I repeated, he thanked me once again and left from the hideout.
I gathered my men and started to loot from the tents and caves, I found several tools, furs, and bags of salt. This is the ill-gotten gain the looters took from the caravan, and now this belongs to me, I took my share of the loot and left Matheld with her men, tending to their own loot, I'm looking forward to fight alongside with that woman again. She is a decent fighter, and probably he knows more than just how to hold an end of a sword. I returned quickly to Tulga by the nightfall, I felt exhausted after all I've been through today. I entered the tavern and meet the merchant, something is strange, he doesn't seem to b so delighted, and his face seems very serious.
'Well… My brother is home safe. I'm not sure what to do with him – maybe pack him off to a university outside of Calradia. That way, if he gets knocked out on the head in a street brawl, no one can say it's my fault. But, that's not your problem…' he took out a purse with some denars inside it; at last I got my reward. 'Here's the rest of your reward. It was well-earned…' he smiled, and I took that purse.
'The money is the most of welcome, and I'm glad to have been a service…' I smiled; the merchant seems to be happy as well. Though, he had a trace of doubt on his face, 'Good, now… Are you interested in making some more?' he asked, my men gathers around as we listened to the merchant's offering.
'Possibly…' I replied, 'What do you need?' he looks around, making sure nobody is eavesdropping on us, and then he leaned closer and whispered. 'Remember how I told you that the bandits had an ally behind the walls? I think I know who it is – the captain of the watch, no less. Some months ago, this captain, seeing the amounts of profit we merchants making through trade from across the frontiers, decided to borrow some money to sponsor a caravan. Unfortunately, like many who are new to commerce, he failed to realize that great profit only comes with a great risk. So he sank all the money into that most expensive commodities, and of course his caravan was captured and looted, and he lost everything.' my men started to murmuring and whispered to each other, talking about how cruel this captain could be.
'As a consequence, it seems our captain turned to villainy to recoup his fortune. I suppose I'd do the same if, the Heavens forbid, I ever faced indebtedness and ruination. Now, any watch captain worth his salary will have a few thieves and robbers in his payroll, to inform on the rest, but our captain decides to employ these bastards wholesale. He brings them into the town, lets them do as they will, and takes a share of their take.' he sat back and let me think for a while, I nodded my head. 'You've heard of poachers turning gamekeepers? Well, in the unfortunate land of Calradia, sometimes gamekeeper will turn poacher. Luckily, there's still a few brave, honest soul in the watch who've told me how he works…' he continued.
'So, you got a plan?' one of my men asked, the merchant smiled in pride. 'I could bring this to the attention of Sanjar Khan, lord of the city, but that would mean an inquiry, my word against the captain's, and witnesses can be bought and evidence destroyed, or maybe the whole thing will be forgotten if the enemy crosses the border again, and all I'll get for my trouble is knife in my ribs…' he smiled reluctantly, knowing the risk he had taken.
'So, that means the plan is not applicable?' I asked, but the merchant tilts his head. 'I got another idea…' he stated, 'I've got a small group of townsfolk, together, some men in my employ and some others who've lost relatives to these bandits, will storm the captain's home and bring him in chains before Sanjar Khan, hopefully, with a few bandits to explain how things stacked up…' I discussed with my men, they seem agreed.
'All I need is someone who would lead my little party to the battle – and I can't think anyone better than you. So, what do you say?' he asked, I begin to doubt his information.
'How can I know you're telling the truth…?' I asked, he seems a bit surprised. 'Oh well, I suppose it's possible that I find dozen bandits who are willing to give their lives to a passing stranger a false impression of life in old Tulga… I guess you can't really know if my word were good, but I reckon that you've learned that how the money is good, and there's another 100 denars, or maybe a bit more waiting for you if you'll do me this little favor. So what do you say?' he asked, I see there's no more choice, I cannot just abandon a request from this man, I see that he is telling the truth from the start, or, at least that's what I think he is. I agreed to his proposition…
'Splendid… It's been a long time since I staked so much so much on a single throw of the dice, and frankly I find it exhilarating. My men are ready to move on your word, are you ready?' I looked at every each of my men, I see fiery soul burning behind their eyes, filled with spirit and high hopes of victory, they had tasted one and two, and they won't get enough of this feeling, the sweet taste of victory.
'Yes, give them the sign…' I said to him and stand up, he stands up as well. 'Good! Now – strike hard, strike fast, and the captain and his henchmen won't know what hit them. May the Heavens be with you!' he rushed out from the tavern, I gathered my men and prepares for the showdown in the streets.
I leave the tavern and go out to the streets. Nervous looking young men are waiting in every corner of the street, I can see they have daggers and clubs concealed under their clothes, and catch the mixture of fear, anticipation, and pride in the quick looks they throw at me as I pass by. Praying that my enemies have not been alarmed by all this too obvious bunch of plotters, I check my weapon for the last time. And prepare myself for the action ahead…
I walked for a while, and then the merchant runs with a knife on his hand. 'It's time lads! Up at them!' he yelled, the ordinary townsfolk reveals their hidden weapons. The bandits alarmed by this also unsheathe their blades, hue battle emerged inside the town, the townsfolk, and together with the town guard battled the looters in a vicious fight. I fought my way in the center, slashed every looter and bandit in my range, and spared nobody in my line. Blood splashing out to me, coating me with bright red color on my skin. The battle, however, is in our hand…
The remaining few bandits scatter off to the town's narrow alleys, only to be hunted down one by one by the angry townsfolk. Making sure that my victory is complete and all the wounded have been taken care of, Me and the merchant head back to his house to review today's event.
'Hah! Well done – I saw at least three of the enemy go down before you. Keep fighting like that, and you'll make quite a name for yourself in this land. Unfortunately, about 7 of my lads got themselves wounded. I should go to look for them…' he smiled, I smiled as well, full of pride.
'The Heavens alone grant us victory…' I try to be modest, 'Yes, yes… Now couple of my boys has the watch captain pinned down, with a knife at his throat. I'll need to drag him before Sanjar Khan and explain what this breach of the peace is all about. You don't need to be a part of that though…' he take out another purse of denars, I sighed and feel a little uneasy, he noticed me. 'You don't happy to see the sight of money?' he asked, I nodded my head. 'I don't think you have to pay me, your lads got themselves wounded, and you don't have to pay me… The money serves you well, as I serve you well…' he smiled, but he throws the purse at me. 'Then, keep it as my gratitude…' he said, I bid farewell to him and walks out of the house, where my men waited. There's a bright smile on their face, they knew that we had make another couple of denars from our service. I gave 20 denars for each man, since there's 200 denars inside the purse, they seemed happy to get their first share of the loot. We went back to the tavern, and have good dine and rest before we march at the next dawn…
Q: How is the team looking? Who develops Bellum Imperii?
A: Bellum Imperii is being developed in terms of getting the pieces together and editing the files accordingly by myself alone, with the assistance of individuals with some spare time from time to time. The majority of the mod is however thanks to brilliant modders in the community that released their work, or allowed it to be used. As can be seen in the credit list. One could see it as lazy development, I rather see it as another way to getting a Roman modification in this setting up and running for the community to be playable. As there is no other that covers this time-frame and on this scale.
Q: How is Bellum Imperii's look on Historical accuracy?
A: Bellum Imperii aims to find a balance between gameplay and the historical background involved with it. Locations, characters, background stories and scenes will be as much historical orientated as possible. While equipment and all other aspects of the modification will be more to improve the gameplay. Due to several reasons. There's thus always a chance that some stuff can be historical inaccurate even while I'm aware of it.
Q: I have errors!?! Help mee!!!!? What to do?
A: Bellum Imperii is out it's Alpha stages however, because of the massive size of the mod, Bugs and glitches can still be expected, some are more game breaking then the others. When you encounter a bug/error report it either here on Moddb, Talewords or the steam workshop so I can make work of it. If you don't do this I won't know about this and I won't be enable to fix it.
Q; My game freezes when entering town scenes, why?
A: Some scenes can be to demanding for certain systems, Rome for example. The only way to get passed this if you really feel like taking a look is to lower your overall graphics and maybe even use Direct7 Q: I got a runtime error, what does this mean? A: A runtime error normally is caused by a lack of memory. When your system lacks the memory to run the mod it will close down with that runtime error. In order to get passed this, either lower your graphical settings or find another way to make more memory available.
Q: The campaign map really feels empty, I barely encounter any bandits?
A: Currently I'm still toying around with the possibilities to increase the amount of bandit parties and their spawn locations. Although I thought to have increased it, it still seems far from enough. Expect a far more growed map in the future and fell assured it's being worked on.
- Some quickies
Q: When will naval warfare get a overhaul? A: When the time is right.
Q: Can we expect more factions in the future?
A: Not at this moment.

A Guild Master may ask you to track down bandits, and sometimes they're impossible to find.
When the job is initially offered, decline it. Next, choose 'How is trade around here?'. The Guild Master tells you about shortages, and then tells you how long ago the travelers were attacked by bandits.
If it's been more than a day there's a chance the surrounding farmers and lords haven't spotted them recently enough to recall when you ask.
If it's been less than a day than the trail may still be hot, and this quest is a quick chase and battle with great rewards.
