Beginning of the Storm

Surveying  the battlefield in the boiling sun made his search for his fellow comrades so much harder but Crells persisted, after many hours he finally made it completely across the battlefield rescuing around eighty soldiers a few horses and a supply cart which some how managed to survive the battle intact.
The following day Crells and what was left of the Kingdoms of men army retrieved there general's body and laid it to rest akin to there customs, building a large circle of stones with roughly 1 foot between each stone which they scavenged from up to a mile away, they put his body on a pyre in the middle of the circle  with a trail of wood leading from the pyre to each stone, Crells was somehow nominated the leader of what few men remained and had the duty of performing the ritual to ensure there general's body would leave and go to the afterlife, walking around the circle he lit each trail of wood whilst reciting  what little he knew of the death ritual.

"From earth, wind, water and light all life comes from Midgard flows through its rivers and plays there part in her design, we obey her laws and cherish her gifts and through it all we know we must repay our debt of life by giving it back, Flesh and blood cut by steel, rotted by age, destroyed by disease all paths lead to one end. praise to Midgard our mother and mentor." As such the ritual was complete and smoke filled the sky, the men sat around the pyre feasting on the last supplies of fresh meat and ale from the supply cart until they heard a monstrous scream in the night dark sky.

Crells ordered the men to grab there weapons and make ready for they were far from done with the war of there rulers. beginning

Introduction

Hello all, my name is Satch.

I am starting this blog to showcase my army, Kingdoms of men from Kings of war, as well as to describe tactics and my personal thoughts about the game and its rule set and lastly i will be writing some fluff pieces of my own creation and so let me introduce you to Crell.

Glistening from the intense heat of the mid day sun, a small droplet of sweat rolled down Crell's armour to the tip of his battered chestplate where it hung for a breif moment before it fell to the blood soaked ground.

Crellius Redbeard or Crells for short drove his pike into the ground in order to help his weary and bruised body stand up, leaning on the splintered shaft he looked around the battlefield, all he saw was a still, lifeless sea of chrome and leather laying upon a sheet of crimson carpets.

"So much death, so much pain, what do i ..." but before Crells could finish, he was smacked across the face with a warmace knocking him to the ground. Crells rolled out of the way of the next blow and glimsed at his attacker, a huge beast, half man half goat lumbering over him with a look of rage in its eyes, a pair of horns sprouting from its head 1 horn streching out a good 20 cm the other cracked and stumpy. The beast lets out a terrific howl as it raised its weapon again, this time however Crells being the skilled warrior that he is did not let panic set in but instead reached for a nearby spear and plunged it deep into the beasts belly as fast as his human arms could, toppling the beast Crells once again stood up making sure to check for anymore would be combatants and  then let out a sigh as he looked for survivors.
