In the turbulent land of [[Doran]], two kingdoms waged a bitter war that seemed destined to rage on forever. [[Logan Douglas]], a seasoned soldier with a heart forged in the heat of countless battles, fought valiantly for his kingdom of [[Shidh]]. He had seen friends fall and witnessed the relentless suffering of innocents caught in the crossfire. Yet honour, pride and loyalty to his comrades kept him pressing forward. But the ceaseless war began to wear on [[Logan Douglas|Logan]]. Each victory felt hollow, each loss deeper than the last. He watched as the wealthiest in [[Shidh]] thrived, untouched by the war's devastation, while common folk bled and starved. The realisation gnawed at him, chipping away at his resolve until, one fateful day, it broke entirely. After a particularly brutal battle, [[Logan Douglas|Logan]] gathered his most trusted comrades. "This war serves only the rich," he told them, eyes burning with conviction. "We're nothing but pawns in their game. I say no more. We retreat to [[Margné]], where we can live in peace, away from their squabbles." [[Margné]] was a small, peaceful town nestled in the hills, far from the front lines. Logan and his band of disillusioned soldiers found refuge there, swearing to protect the town and live out their days free from the tyranny of the war. Their peace was short-lived. The king, furious at their desertion, branded them traitors. He sent a small but formidable army to [[Margné]], determined to crush [[Logan Douglas|Logan]] and his followers as an example to any who might consider desertion. When the king’s forces arrived, they found [[Margné]] ready. [[Logan Douglas|Logan]], ever the strategist, had anticipated this retaliation. He had fortified the town, trained the villagers in basic combat, and prepared his soldiers for the inevitable confrontation. The battle was fierce. [[Logan Douglas|Logan]]'s men fought with the desperation and passion of those defending their home, rather than mere orders. The king’s soldiers, disciplined but lacking the same fervour, found themselves outmatched. The narrow streets of [[Margné]] became a battlefield where the defenders’ intimate knowledge of the terrain gave them a decisive edge. Amidst the chaos, [[Logan Douglas|Logan]] stood as a beacon of hope, his presence inspiring his men to hold their ground. In the end, the king’s forces were repelled, their ranks broken and their morale shattered. News of the victory spread quickly. [[Logan Douglas|Logan]]’s defiance became a symbol of resistance against the tyranny of the rich. Other soldiers, hearing of his stand, began to question their own roles in the war. Slowly, the tides of the conflict began to shift, not through the strength of armies, but through the awakening of conscience. [[Logan Douglas|Logan]], though victorious, knew that their struggle was far from over. He looked over the town of [[Margné]], now a bastion of hope and defiance. The war had taken much from him, but in this small town, he had found something worth fighting for – not the ambitions of kings, but the simple, enduring strength of people determined to live free. And so, [[Logan Douglas|Logan]] and his comrades remained vigilant, ready to defend their newfound home against any who would threaten it. In [[Margné]], they found not just refuge, but a cause greater than any king’s war – the right to live, free from the tyranny of the powerful. --- # Updates - 2024-10-25 - Added updates section
