ONE ENEMY HAS FALLEN A GREATER ONE REMAINS NOW IT'S WAR The Red Knight withstood the full might of his enemy & won the day In a victory which will be remembered through the ages he brought disparate factions together & turned them into allies against a more powerful foe than they had ever seen Now he will need his allies more than ever Because behind one adversary hid another
- one with allies of their own
- whose goal was never to destroy Alba but to distract the Kingdom while achieving his true aim & whatever it is it's probably not in the Red Knight's interest With one army defeated now the Red Knight must fight again & for every one of his allies there is a corresponding enemy Spread out in different lands & on sea it will all come down to one last gamble & to whether or not the Red Knight has guessed their foe's true intentions With each throw of the dice everything could be lost
