Hail to thee, oh children of Calradia;​

Swadia, Aden and Antaria, bastions of chivalry,​

Khergits and Zerrikanians, unchallenged riders of the steppe,​

Marina and Rhodok, prosperous lands of sturdy people,​

Nords, Vaegirs and Villianese, prideful warrior nations,​

And everyone else who inhabits this magnificent land, hail to thee.​

I came with greetings, yet now I stand confused;
Where is thy courage ?
Where is thy valour ?
Where are your cries, joyous in war ?
Today you are silent.
We both know why:
This day is your last.​

For would you dare raise arms against the Empire, and still have hope to win ?​

Would you rouse the anger of Marsus in consuming flame ?​

Tremble, for if angered, the Emperor shall mark thee never to have rest;​

He shall take from you all that you held dear,​

And all thy empires, from the greatest to the least,

Shall be children of his adoptation.​

Children of Calradia, this land was never truly yours.
This world, and all it holds, belongs to us by birthright - as do thee.​

Calradia will fall.​

So said the herald of a violent regime.

The refugee king stepped forth, a continent watching in silent awe;
he whispered but three words, yet it made the world shake:​

It will not.​

- From the Chronicles of Calradia.​

That was the best mod cover page I have ever seen. Reading through that made me want to go back and buy Mount and Blade too. Well, congrats on your release.

Damn now I have to go and redownload M&B for D2D. I wonder if I have enough hard drive space left.

This looks great, I am going to reinstall M&B to try this out.

Thanks everyone, I am very glad people still have interest in good ol' MnB.

Many people have absolutely no idea that SOD is one of the oldest (and most well-developed) mods out there in the community, and that SOD: Warlords is a sequel to the MnB version of SOD... a pity, really. I believe we'll need to intertwine the two versions more closely in the future, especially when we'll start working on the story of SOD: Warlords...
