The Black Blade

The land is torn. With no real leadership to unite the nation, various towns and villages are in a constant state of war as they're fought over by warlords, bandit clans, and other factions. Everywhere people live and die in squalor as continual skirmishes fail to shift the balance of power in any direction. Meanwhile, a new threat is growing quickly from across the sea. Captain Terron is a young idealistic leader who's men follow him loyally into battle and without question. He believes uniting a broken nation is the only way stem the tide of war, but those with the will to bring about change, and the power to do so, should perhaps not be so quick to act.
