The resurgence of nomads from the Steppes saw occupied lands reclaimed, ill-gotten treasures seized, and once-proud noblemen driven into exile. Escaping with what little gold they could carry, the disgraced lords travelled south to recruit an infamous band of sellswords, armed to the teeth with heavy weapons and gunpowder armaments, to exact vengeance and restore their glory. These soldiers of fortune hail from Sicania, their pockets lined with gold and their notorious reputations preceding them. They count among their ranks deadly crossbowmen, fearless swordsmen, cutting-edge artillery, and cavalry killers fighting in the name of a legendary mercenary. They are coming, and their hammers of reckoning will fall upon this land as if it were an anvil.
