DF Community Games & Stories / Honor and Chivalry - Warhammer Bretonnian Community Fort
« on: December 28, 2011, 01:56:08 pm »Quote
The Land of Bretonnia is a feudal, traditional society where the peasants serve the knights in return for protection, while the knights are bound to militarily serve their lords in return for certain rights and titles. Bretonnia is, in many ways, similar to the fairy-tale kingdom of Lyonesse or Logres under King Arthur, with noble knights who live by a series of vows (to uphold the virtues of honor and chivalry) and beautiful damsels who are rescued by courageous, dragon-fighting heroes.

Basically, to promote this great mod and to test my own faction, I've decided to run this (short) community fortress. The sheer amount of both threats (orcs, chaos, dark elves, skaven and countless more) and noble positions as well as unique artifact weapons, castes and workshops should be enough for me to run this thing. It's my first community fort so be gentle

For years our beloved Bretonnia continued to grow in strength and influence. With the borders secure and our strongholds strong the lesser nobles turn their gaze beyond the borders sending scouts and founding new castles. With no major war going on, you have no means to prove your worth on the royal court. That is, you had no means until today. In the morning you've received a letter from the Duke himself! While it's not a great war you had hoped for, he proposed you a major role in one of his little projects. It's definitely a good way to start your adventure.
