Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;W.B Yeats,
The Second ComingThings Fall Apart an alternate story and war system for Mount&Blade v0.894.
The Setting12 months prior, a small comet struck Calradia. Half of the Swadian empire was annihilated by the shock wave, and many Vaegir resources destroyed by the resulting turbulence of the oceans. An unofficial cease fire was called whilst both nations attempted to rebuild. However, within the very crater the comet's impact created, large veins of iron were exposed. The Vaegirs, who have suffered from a lesser availability of metals, seize their chance and begin struggling to produce vast armies of their own.
But the comet brought with it yet another plague. Many people across the land are drawn to the impact site, where some cities are being constructed to mine the iron. They follow one called The Voice, who claims that the comet brought with it armaggedeon, and that the surviving faithful had only to remove the dregs of humanity left on the earth, before 'ascension' would occur. The fanatics now have secured most of the continents iron sources, and refused to trade.
Meanwhile, a supply ship from Ziluania is pummeled by a fierce storm on the coast, before wrecking not too far from the Ziluanian colony of Zendar. There are only two survivors, stranded in a foreign land - You are one of those people.
