Game Description

Palatinean Year 238.
The Holy Lodis Empire, located on the western region of the continent of Galicia,
Dispatched the Brigade of The Radiant Cross against the neighboring countries
that rejected the teaching of Lord Lodis.
The purge and conversion of "cults" in force have reached Nirdam,
the kingdom adjacent to Palatinus.
The noble king of Nirdam declared war against Lodis,
but was defeated within a year.
After the fall of Nirdam, The Lodis Empire has selected kingdom of Palatinus as the next target.
Having witnessed the formidable strength of Lodis,
King Procus surrendered without much resistance and signed the peace treaty offered by Lodis.
While forced to convert religion, introduce class system and pledge loyalty to Lodis Empire,
Procus was granted to keep his position as the king.
Although supervised by the Triumvirate sent from Lodis,
Palatinus was able to maintain its autonomy.

Six months later....
Lodis ordered the subjugation of the uncivilized Southern Region of Palatinus.
The lower class, including the Bolmaukans, were forced into labor.
People of the Eastern Region who worship Berthe and the lower class joined forces to oppose the oppression
but were unable to overcome the power of the king backed by Lodis.
Taking the matter seriously, the Triumvirate of Lodis deprived the lower class of much rights,
while rewarding the upper class with previleges to ensure their status...
The inane status as the puppets of Lodis.
It required ten years for a streak of light to shine through the dark ominous clouds...

This game will be recruiting for two four-player parties to play in two separate sections of the same game.

Players should apply with militaristic characters in mind.

The first party will consist of about four knights of the Radiant Cross. Please note you do not actually need to be a knight to apply.

The knights believe in Order and the strength of Unity through Faith. The teachings of Lodis dictate that the Sun is the ultimate source of power, and that only through the worship of Lord Lodis may the peoples of earth truly benefit from the sun's grace. Lodis also teaches that people must learn to pay fealty to those above them, recognize their responsibilities, and own up to them. If one does not commit themselves to their responsibilities, their lives are forfeit in Lodis' eyes.

The Radiant Cross is the militant arm of the Church of Lodis. Having founded a powerful empire wherein the people are all cared for, The Radiant Cross now sweeps across the realm, hoping to bring enlightenment to the gifts of Lodis to all nations, and bear them up from their cult-like behaviours.

The second party will consist of young graduates from a prestigious military school, the Ischka Military Academy, ready to help in the security of your region.

The Southern Division is plagued by lasting remnants of the time before Palatinus' peace treaty with The Lodis Empire. Rebellion is an everyday reality in this region, and the disgruntled lower class continually rise up in misbegotten attempts to subdue the upper class and steal their hard earned wealth. The Southern Division has been training specialized units within the Ischka Military Academy, whose sole purpose will be to quell the noise of this Southern Region once and for all, and assert the dominance of the Palatinean army and it's Lodis superiors.
