January 30, 1021 Northern Calradia. The land of the longest night and eternal winter. Where, if not here, could the most formidable raiders be hardened? "Vikings, Varangians, Varyags"-their names may have varied from the western shores of Vlandia, to the trading ports of the Eastern Empire, but the fear was one for all of them |
Silence enveloped the coastal city of Varnovapol. Its monolithic walls and location made it a well-protected and attractive place for merchants and wanderers. This week, the local marketplace was crowded with merchants, artisans, and residents from the surrounding hamlets and villages who traded and bought furs, wax, metalwork, and other goods from one another. |
Among the crowd, one could recognize several of the lord's men, given off by their dark red caftans and luxurious blades in patterned scabbards, as they stocked up on food and warm clothing for their upcoming raid of the shores of weakened Battania, which had recently crushed the imperial army in the Druimor Forest. Battania's forces were stationed closer to the south, so it was the perfect moment to attack. By nightfall, the local people returned to their homes and taverns, and a light autumn fog had enveloped the city, sending it off to sleep. The silence of the streets was broken only by the faint howl of wolves and the sounds comming from the hall, where the last feast was held before the campaign. In the morning the troops were to assemble in the port, but in the meantime they were praising Perun by emptiying barrels of mead, awaiting the glory and battle. In the center of the hall stood Jarl Raganvad, he was a simple man, modestly dressed, he was indifferent to luxury of this world. On campaigns he slept under the open sky and ate the same food as his solders, for which he was honored and respected. |
With dawn, the army began to embark on the ships, their bows crowned by carved heads of various animals and beasts, which, according to northerners, bestowed magical properties and brought good luck to the vessels. Men, dressed in chain mail and lamellar armor, hung their scarlet clolored shields on the sides of the ships, and banners were draped over the masts. Raganvad gave the command to set sail, and the warriors raised their oars. Only a small fraction remained in the garrison.The armada left the fjord and disappeared over the horizon of the dark waters, bringing devastation and destruction to the shores of Calradia. |
