    Default A Danish AAR

    This is my first AAR, so please don't be too harsh. This AAR is focused around a man named Stenkil who has just turned 16 who is a Danish general. This AAR is not starting from the begining of the campaign but from when Stenkil turns of age. This AAR is set at m/m because I ain't that good at this game, enjoy!
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Introduction
    Hi my name is Stenkil, I am sixteen and my father thinks it's time for me to become a general of the Danish empire. I am my father only biological son, but I am not the heir to my fathers throne.


    This is my father King Charles the Chivalrous, he is at the age of forty five. He is currently stationed at the City of Aarhus. Where he expects to live out his life.


    Here is one of my adopted brothers, Prince Skapti. He is fifty five, he is older than my father and thus my father hopes to out live him and wants me to become King but there are his other two adopted sons.

    Chapter one:
    My father wanted to hold a council meeting at Aarhus to announce I was becoming a general and what I should do. It was agreed that I was to amass an army and finish off the Tuetonic and Polish armies that were in Danish Lands.

    After the meeting my father took me aside.

    He said, "Stenkil you are my only true son, if I knew I was capable of producing a boy I would not of bothered with adopting those other three men, I wish you not be harmed when fighting the Tuetons and Poles, you do not have to fight them if you wish, but what ever you do, do not ask recklessly on the battlefield, not olny your own life is in danger but thousands of other men will be also."
    Before I could reply Skapti had come round the corner, my father was not scared of him but ashamed so he walked down the corridor leaving me with Skapti.
    Skapti, "So younger brother you want to become king do you?"
    Stenkil, "N-no I do not"
    Skapti, "Nervous are we?, scared of me?, you are nothing more than a peasant in my eyes and I will treat you no better than if you are one, Charles is nothing more than a whimpling, posing as a great King, I shall be happy to take that crown of his cold dead corpse."
    Stenkil, "You are nothing compared to my father! Do not forget you are older and he will outlive you!"
    Skapti, "Oh so you do have a backbone, well we will see if he outlives me and if he doesn't you will be punished fot talking to me like this", he then walked away following the same path that my father took.
    Tomorrow I will ride to Hamburg to recruit an army.

    This is still part of the Introduction
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As I left Aarhus My brothers wanted to ride with me to Hmaburg to make sure I would have a safe journey.

    Inge was older than my father like Skapti but he didn't share the same personality, he seemed to be happy to see me.


    Unlike my other brother Jens he was like Skapti and he believed should take Skapti's place in being the heir.


    As we drew near to Hamburg I realised how much my Grandfather had worked to make this the biggest stronghold for miles around. My Brothers left me for the port of Hamburg and I had to enter this Castle by myself.

    As I entered Hamburg I was greeted by Haflidhi who was Governor of Hamburg.

    He didn't have experience in war but was more than happy to give me stronger equipment and the garrison that was staying in the castle. The men weren't to happy to join me but I wasn't suprised I have had to experience in war.

    Haflidhi informed me that we were allied to The Holy Roman Empire, Lithuania and Novogrod.

    I couldn't believe we were allied with Novogrod and Lithuania these people did not share the same religion that we did, maybe Skapti was right that my father isn't fit to rule this land. My grand father had formed the Kalmar Union and had taken many cities and castles but my father hadn't.
    Haflidhi, "when you are ready you must ride to defend are borders"
    Stenkil, "I will stay here for one year I need to earn my mens respect"
    Haflidhi, "A wise decision"

    The following battle was talked about from Conrad der Bartiages point of view.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Chapter One

    I turned Eighteen before I even reached our borders, on the way I had to pass through our allies land, The Holy Roman Empire. I was advised to stick on the road due to rebels ambushing people in the forests.

    As I settled down on the Teuton's land, I recieved a messenge.
    Messenger, "My lord, my lord, I have terrible news about Haflidhi, he has died my lord."
    It was as if my heart had stop beating, one of my only friends in this world had died, I didn't know what to say.
    Messenger, "My lord are you alright?"
    Stenkil, "Who is governing Hamburg?"
    Messenger, "Prince Skapti my lord"
    Stenkil, "Thank you, you may now leave"
    Messenger, "I have one more thing to tell you my lord, Lithuania is now a Catholic Country."
    Stenkil, "Thank you for this information"
    As the messenger left the room my mentor entered.
    Stenkil, "Do you think we should head home?, Skapti can't be left in control of that castle."
    Mentor, "Stenkil we must fulfil our duty in seizing more land for your father, besides what makes you think Skapti will move aside and let you take control of Hamburg?"
    Stenkil, "You are right my old friend, anyway I need to make my old friend Haflidhi proud of me, he was one of the only people I could trust after all."
    As I left my tent and walked to a small fire that some of the soldiers had made.
    Soldier, "Did you hear about that Crusading Noble my lord?"
    Stenkil, "No what has happened to him?"
    Soldier, "Well I heard that he was sent by The Teutonic order to kill some rebels with a small army, but he ends up being killed by them himself."
    As the soldier burst into laughter, I still couldn't believe how chaotic this world is, Great Nobles where being killed by peasants.
    Another soldier sat down next to me and began to speak,
    Second Soldier, "I heard that Conrad der Bartiage has attacked a small village in Poland"
    Stenkil, "So we are now at war with the Poles?, What is my father doing?, The Teutons are strong enough."
    I left the fire in disgust, I couldn't believe that Catholics are fighting a war against each other. As I fell asleep on my bed, I wondered who this Conrad der Bartiage was.

    Meanwhile.....

    Charge Men Kill The Poles!!! Charge Them From All Sides!!! Let None Of Them Live!!!!



    I had ordered my men to attack from all sides, so the Poles couldn't escape.


    All I heard was the roar of my men charging Crossbowmen.


    I could see my men marching up to the main part of the village, I charged into the village so I could see the carnage. As i entered the village I could see the enemies dead body on the floor, with the rest of his unit. I was ashamed of what I did, as I looked around me hundreds of Danish bodies had littered the floor. I was pleased to hear the cheers of my men we had won this battle, but at what price.



    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Stenkil's camp.....

    I was whoken by a messenger,
    Messenger, "My lord!, Conrad der Bartiage!, He won!!"
    Stenkil, "Good"
    Messenger, "But my lord over 550 Danish men have died, my lord"
    Stenkil, "That doesn't suprise me he only had low teir men"
    I was shocked by what had come out of my mouth, I was talking like Skapti. As the messenger left I realised what has drove Skapti to such hatred of most people, I just hope Conrad der Bartiage can keep hold of the Village as I would expect a counter attack on the village by the Poles.
    Mentor, "You suprised me with that kind of language, my lord."
    Stenkil, "I'm sorry, Do you think we should move towards Conrad der Bartiage village and help him defend the village?"
    Mentor, "Don't forget Stenkil, the Teutons are our target, I have heard more Danish armies are heading towards the Poles."
    Stenkil, "In that case we must finish the Teutons"

    End of Chapter one
