The Heroes

On a forgotten hill, in an unimportant valley, two massive armies are about to collide. Black Dow, the ruthless King of the North, has clawed his way to power, a ascent the jealous King of the Union will not tolerate. Orders are given, and thousands of men, armed with sharpened steel, toil through the mud, converging on a ring of ancient stones. Among them is Bremer dan Gorst, a disgraced swordsman obsessed with reclaiming his honour, no matter the blood spilled. Prince Calder seeks only power, willing to betray anyone to achieve it without fighting. Meanwhile, Curnden Craw, a veteran warrior weary of conflict, struggles to find the 'right thing' amidst the chaos. Over three brutal days, the fate of the North will be decided, not by noble heroes, but by flawed individuals navigating a landscape riddled with intrigue, folly, feuds, and petty jealousies. This is war, stark and unflinching, where true heroes are conspicuously absent.
