The Battle Of Karillia

A cold breeze is felt around the mountains, an orchestra of clashing shields and spears, screaming and chanting, and galloping and running. Holy Emperor Carlis had been kicked out of Rasmustinople in a coup, with only Fabien's guard at his side he marched to face a Swedish horde alone. with his only allies being the champion he would make history know him as Carlis the brave.
Erasmus
