The year 1221 of the Holy Calendar was a turning point for the Vandal Kingdom which ruled the continent of Sahul. The young king James the Fifth initially followed the lead of the previous ruler and was tolerant to the minorities, but turned to a hard-line stance after being influenced by his advisors. He forbade them from being involved in political affairs and betrayers would have their entire home village sent to settlements regardless of age and gender. The enforcement of this Fleming Rule drove those who wished for their own sovereignty underground. Seven years later in the remote town of Rahy, the captain of the guards Kenneth received news that some rebels had escaped from the suppression of a revolt in a neighbouring province and were heading his way. He gathered his troops in response to their request, but since he had also maintained good relationships with the minorities in neighbouring villages, it was impossible for him to resolve this problem quickly. It was to be the opening act in a long battle which laid before him. [From Hau~ Omochikaeri!]
