About

The Truth and The Faith is a fantasy RPG using the Dragon Warriors system. It is set in the country of Albion on the Isle of Ellesland. The campaign will use existing published and fan Dragon Warriors scenarios, with themes of power, lies and corruption, both temporal and religious running through.

  Albion 999AS. Thawain Monath has been unusually warm for early spring. King Haldric, the a devout man and Ineffectual leader reigns over a divided land. It is an open secret that two of the most powerful nobles of the land plot against the King. Baron Aldred, Lord of Gorburn and Earl Monombre vie for control of a rich, fertile and chaotic land. Cardinal    Severinius du Varegine controls the church in Albion. An outsider, he holds title to vast swathes of Albions most productive land, a cause of tension with the Crown.

The freshness of Spring is absent and across this green and fertile land, a palpable tension exists. The uneasy peace between feuding nobles and landless knights could be close to an end. The peasants and serfs are hoarding food, evident at less stock available at markets and fairs. People up and down the land are once more fearful of strangers,

Against the simmering tension, the King has decided against all advice to hold a Royal Tourney at Hezards Forde. The celebration is to commemorate the last year of the millennium. The King hopes that by allowing young men the freedom to fight, rampage and drink each other to oblivion that the bonds of kinship will grow and tensions will dissipate. No expense will be spared. The location “, close to the holy abbey of Osterlin, is a corner or Albion where Baron Aldreds lands meet those of Montombre.

The tourney purse is weighty and the champions prize is a famous sword of legend that contains a relic to Saint Arkturian, the warrior turned peacemaker. A pious knight who died for his land.
