[MBS] - Mod-Based-Story:
Author's notes: Since I came to like the SoD world quite a bit, I decided to start writing "SoD: Journals". Just like the title says, it's about journals, or sometimes, letters and reports, from all sorts of people, poor peasants and almighty rulers alike, involved in the SoD storyline one way or another, describing the events those lead to the conquest of the home continent, the invasion of Calradia, the defeat of the Legion, and the liberation of the home continent, each seen and described depending on the writers' personal views. Every character, location, historical and cultural background is purely fictional and is NOT related to the actual incoming SoD storyline in any way (or if it is, it is merely a coincidence). SoD: Journals is a fan-fiction. BUT if any of the SoD staff comes to like them and wish to use them as lore material, well, I won't stop them, just please credit me, that's all. The rest of you, sit back and enjoy the story, and please, comment it - I like to know what others think of my writing skills
"SoD: Journals" is based on the world of the original "Mount and Blade" game (NOT "Warband") and "Sword of Damocles Mod v4.6".
The individual stories are short, as the represent only one specific day or event, but as you read further, you'll eventually get a full picture. I plan to add a couple of writing per week, so this will eventually evolve into a large storyline
WARNING:
- Current and future writings may contain mild language and descriptions of severe violence. If you are bothered by such things, don't read my writings. If your childish innocence gets devastated, remember, I warned you.
- You need at least a moderate level knowledge of English language to understand all words and phrases. I could write in "high-level-English" style, but I saw it better to make things understandable for the majority. Nevertheless, have an online dictionary with you just in case.
Since "SoD: Journals" will be one heck of a story (at least in length), I made ALL posts in the first page "Reserved". Hopefully that will be enough...
This first post will serve as an introduction post and annal. From here, you'll find specific writings more easily.
GENERAL STORYLINE:
An epic struggle set in the world of Mount and Blade. Learn how the people of the SoD universe lost their homeland, how they started anew, how they took revenge and began a new cycle.
War is always with us; sometimes it's a debate, sometimes it's a bloody battle to the death. There are always heroes and villains, but who is which, only a sane historian can decide...

PARTS ABOUT RELIGIONS:
Ideals, beliefs or superstitions, they are part of our lives. Strange enough, in a world of many religions, everyone prays the same way...
PARTS ABOUT MILITARY BACKGROUND:
Everything has a reason behind it, the evolution of different military habits and traditions is no exception. See why are armies made up the way they are.
CHAIN OF CONSPIRACY:
There's a dark intention that is controlling events... someone, or something pulling the strings behind the scenes... we need to track it down before it's too late.
POST 10-13: Reserved (for now)
PS: I decided to make a new topic instead of modifying the old one, so I saved some time for the mods I guess this was the clearest thing to do. The conversation in the old topic are not THAT important anyway... I will soon lock the old topic, and maybe eventually delete it. Thank you for understanding.
ENJOY !!!
