Our story begins in world where war has been raging for hundreds of years with no sign of ending. Massive armies are formed with the soul intent of destryong the opposing forces. However, this is not their story. Our story is focused not on the soldiers of these higher powers, but of the mercinaries that now make up the majority oftheir forces. Umung this wolds powers are the Kingdom of Nostros, the Scharr Empire, The North Island Coalition, and the Zartav Kingdom. This for way power strugle has gone on for longer than most can remember, fewer still remeber how it all started or why for that matter. Reguardless, the military forces of each force has grow increasingly smaller over the years, requiring the aid of mercinaries to fight for them. All mercinaries differ in their goals. Some fight for fame, others for their own nation, and some will only fight for the one willing to pay the most coin for their services. Nevertheless, mercinaries are in high demand at this day and, work comes easily to those who will fight for gold. To live by the sword is a dangerou life indeed, but that is what being a mercinary is all about.
---------------------------------------------
Now for a short explaination of the different contries.

Kingdom of Nostro: Occupies the largest area in the Northwestern continent. They value honor, trust, and loyalty in their ranks to fight for a just cause. Their specialty is heavy cavalry.

Scharr Empire: Makes up most of the Eastern continent. A center of wealth and power, the empire values those with strength, determination, and the will to fight no matter the odds. This makes them a feared opponent in battle and a perfect place for skilled mercinaries. Their greatest units are the legionnaires.

North Islad Coallition: Consists of a group of islad contries in the northlands. Ruthless barbarians and raiders, the NIC's demolish anything in their path without mercy. They value only power and wealth, willing to die for it or send others to die for it. They fear little and fight 'til their dieing breath. Their most valued units are the Dreadnaughts.

Zartav Kingdom: A widely spread force with teritories in the western, eastern, and southern continents. They are a free roaming people with some interesting customs. They have no real goals other than to keep the land they have control of, which they gained through their large naval forces. Their favored units are the Sharp Shooters.

Now, finally, for the mercinary intro...
-------------------------------------------
You find yourself inside a rather large Inn, widely known for a mercinary hangout. Weather this is your first time here or you've been many times, you've been told its the perfect place to fing work. Soldiers from every armed force come here to recruit mercinaries for upcoming battles. While you may see many dressed to fight at a moment's notice, it is forbidden to use weapons inide. The bartender greats you as you enter, adressing you as a mercinary, since you obviously don't look like a soldier. He informs you of the locations of the base camps of the four forces, if you wish to go there directly to be hired, or you can wait here for someone to come in and recruit you, which shouldn't take long at all.
