Opening post by Yusuf Adeyemi · #1
On the fourth morning, I took my banner out of ENVY and rode alone, thinking four days was enough to prove an oath could be lighter than blood-feud. It was not; the empty place beside my keep felt like a Dane’s shield wall with one plank missing.
Earlier today I swore my sword back to ENVY. The act was smaller than the leaving: one banner, one decision, no grand raid to dress it up. Saxons and Danes can argue destiny in the fan zone, but a player still has to choose where his stores and spears will stand.
I have not checked today’s standings, so I will not invent a gap or pretend I know who has passed me. Check your own figures before boasting; luck favors the lord with a spare answer, and the calendar has already beaten the dragons.
