About this scenario
-------------------

In ages past, when the noble, wise, and good King Tyrus ruled the Land,
the Orcs, Humans, Dwarves, Titans, and Elves were united into one Kingdom.

For many years their kingdom grew and thrived, and like all empire, when
it was able withstand any exterior attack, it started to crumble inside.

Trouble started for the Kingdom of the Land when the grandson of King Tyrus
became ill one cold winter eve. Bed-striken and unable to rule, the King
started to wilt like an old flower. The Royal Physician could not heal him,
and young Prince Anton took the throne.

King Anton was like no other king, and he was greatly feared by his country.
He killed all the elves in the Land and thus brought the end of a race rich
in culture. While on the throne, he isolated the Orcs, Dwarves, and Titans.

Now King Anton was not faithfull to the Church of the Land. He branded everyone,
especially the Knights, heretics, and installed a new religion. The old god
was all but wiped out, and his nemesis, Varek, a god of evil, strife, and
plague, took over.

Dissent and loathing gathered in his subjects as King Anton unfairly ruled,
with high taxes for peasants, low ones for nobles, and the isolation of some
of the most beautiful races other than humans in the Land.

The people of the Land secretly prayed to the old god that the father of
King Anton could be retored to all health and return to the throne.

Yet this was not to be. 1 year after he had fallen ill, Anton's father finally
succomed to his sickness and drifted off into the endless void of death. At this
moment, the people knew that they had no hope of a better life, and simultaneously
rose up against King Anton.

This, my friend, is where we are now. Caught in a bloody civil war.

Whose side will you join?


Author's Notes
--------------

This scenario has been sitting in my war2 directory for many months, and
I've only worked on it really during the summer. It's taken a while, but 
it's finally done.

The map is completely original and has gone through several revisions. The
army set is cut and pasted from different sets and has some modifications.
The city is has one new picture, and the shield set is the same that defaults
for the ice terrain set.

I hope you enjoy playing this scenario as much as I've enjoyed making it.

Liam.
