Iron and Roses

This is Calradia.

Where soldiers clad in gleaming armor march across vast fields of young, green wheat;
Where nettles creep along ancient stone walls, and wild roses bloom beside humble cottages.

When the horns sound at dawn, echoing across the open plains,
When warriors raise their shattered banners high against the crimson sky,
When farmers weep as they watch their fields consumed by flame-
The age of chaos begins.

This is an era of suffering, but also an era of heroes.

Having witnessed the horrors of war, the first-generation lord chose to retreat to a hidden valley, carving out a fragile paradise untouched by bloodshed. There, he named himself "The Lord Beyond the Mountain."

But peace is never eternal. The second-generation lord, weary of his family's isolation, left his homeland by a twist of fate. As the tides of a great era rise around him, he must decide-
Will he uphold the legacy of peace, or be swept away by the currents of history?

And I, the one who bears witness to it all,
How will I continue the legend of those who came before me?
Will I draw my sword and rise, or forge my blade into a plowshare?

This is the sorrowful song of three generations of lords,
a story that spans a century of struggle,
where beyond the mountains, lords fight not just for power,
but against the endless cycle of their own destinies.

It is the story of ordinary people.
It is a story waiting for you to create its miracles.
