001: Change (Introduction)

It's been ten years since Woodlin was extensively burned down by a fire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It took a long time for people to realize that the veil of mystery had quietly faded without anyone noticing that Woodlin had lost their shelter - the rare beasts had lost their shelter and had migrated to all corners of Swadia, and the mysterious mist that would have made people lose their way had vanished and they would never be seen again, and because of the fire, the ancient plants had been turned into firewood and charcoal.

When some of the villagers had the courage to go deep into Woodlin, they brought exciting news -- gold! a lot of gold, a great deal of gold! an inexhaustible treasure! all the legends about Woodlin were true! The rich man's fortune was now exposed to the sun!

This news immediately ignited a gold rush in the whole of Swadia, and anyone with sharp legs and a little ambition would start to organize their own team, or plan their own gold rush plan, and then march towards Woodlin. Among them are some big businessmen who want to make a windfall, various mercenary groups that have been famous for a long time, and even some bold bishops have quietly hired people to "raise donations" for their churches.

Everyone wants to get rich, but there is only so much gold, so when two people's hands are on the same gold brick at the same time, it is time to see blood!

For a time, the whole of Woodlin was filled with violent brawls, robberies, and even developed to the stage of blood-hunting, and all of this, after the various lords sent their own private soldiers to join the gold rush, it was completely out of control.

As soon as the new king succeeded to the throne, the political situation had not yet stabilized, and the various lords used the gold panning as an excuse to privately start wars, compete for a large number of ownerless territories, and declare personal vendettas. The gold rush indirectly ignited one of the largest civil strife in the history of Calradia, and even the Nords, who had been peacefully developing since their return to Swadia, joined the storm.

At the same time, the Kugit from the south were on the verge of attack, having just defeated the Salanders in a long war, and although they were victorious, they were also devastated in their strength. And the hungry wolves need to forage for food, and Svadia, which is in the midst of civil strife, has become fat in their eyes.

In order to resist the invasion of the Kugits and quell the civil strife as soon as possible, King Hans Tablis took the advice of Count Rum Falst and signed an agreement with his enemy, the Kingdom of Vigia, to cede the coastal areas led by Wocheze to the Kingdom of Vigia, on the condition that Vegia assist Swadia in fighting the Kujits. At the same time, in order to strengthen the country's military power in a short period of time, Hans put the "knights" system, which had been abandoned for many years, back on the table. The king encouraged the lords to form their own knighthoods as a way to defend their territory and increase the kingdom's military power.

It would have been nice for the lords to have a starting point to expand their military power, and they accepted and formed their own knights, even if most of them were just names, to expand their private armies.

And just as the lords were still considering how much they could benefit themselves from this emerging power, the Kugit arrived. As if a natural disaster, they easily broke through the border defenses centered on Fort Rende, and Lord Franmo Santa himself was beheaded for public display. It was then that the lords remembered the horrors of the Kujits, and they left this never-ending civil war behind and responded to the king's call to drive out these terrible Kujits first.

And at this moment, in Kelredan, in a young castle in Kerrydan, the Fort of Ambition, a legend is quietly waking up......
