Morning all!
I haven't posted here for ages...
I have recently been inspired to look at my ancients again forsaking wrg and trying some older rules- probably Slim's circa 1972 for the moment. I am enjoying the new ( if that is a suitable expression for it) Parum Pugna blog and it has got me thinking of an enemy for my 1st century Romans.
What is in order is a small city state ( a little like Emesa/Edessa ) with loads of light horse,infantry archers,a few cataphracts, temple guards and camel caravans.Not to mention factions with their own agendas and political /religious divisions and dissent I am allowing my mind to travel eastwards, back in time and space and armed with the Tony Bath's campaign guide to generate characters I will let you know where I get to here. The Roman Eagles are on the march the City State must organise her forces - let the games,sorry planning begin...
The Guardian of The Great Hall
Visitor's to the Great Hall
Enter the Great Hall of the Kingdoms of Antiquity
Welcome to the Great Hall of the Hosts, a place for feasting, drinking, wenching, bragging and other diplomatic pursuits relating to the various Kingdoms of Antiquity and their Realms. It is here that we, the Chosen Ones, shall meet to resolve the minor, and not-so-minor, differences that may exist between our respective lands regarding border disputes, commerce, claims to thrones or new lands, and other such petty matters that prevent us from retiring to our thrones and doing what we do best. Namely feasting, fighting, drinking, fighting, wenching, fighting, and bragging about fighting!
Your Hosts in the Great Hall
Your benevolent hosts for this gathering are Sir William the Wordsmith, a veteran warrior of questionable antecedants and renown prowess, along with King Adgarus of the Kingdom of Adessa. We humbly ask only that ye who enter leave your weapons and retainers outside the Great Hall. It is here that we shall repose in comfort, free to express our thoughts and vent our displeasures without thought to recrimination or violence (unless it be by the dreaded Great Hall Guards, The Administrator's!).
Make yourselves free here to express your wants and desires for your Realms, negotiate treaties, engage in commerce, and attempt to resolve disputes that might, at other times, lead to wanton violence and deprevation throughout the Kingdoms of Antiquity.
