    Default The Town Criers of the Realm


    The Town Criers of the Realm



    Bells are the main medium of telling time and making announcements. A Common Bell is rung to summon civic meetings, courts, and as an alarm in case of fire or attack. The town crier rings a hand bell when he walks throughout the town declaiming news and proclamations. The criers are the main source of news for the city dwellers. They also have the task of ringing their bells to solicit prayers in memory of people who had paid for the privilege...

    The Royal Mercenary Company announces that it is looking for possible recruits, any freedmen or nights looking for employment would do well to visit the camp at Ludgate Hill where they could find some employment.

    Lords looking to quickly raise a number of men are invited to seek the services of the RMC who can have several hundred well trained, experienced men ready for battle within a matter of weeks.

    Last, any lords wishing to procure a lifetime discount, may offer up a lump sum investment into the company and can benefit from guaranteed low rates and added protection.

    This is the battle plan for all invading forces in the North:

    Yellow is for all following Lord Somerset
    Green is for all following the Royal Army
    Blue is for all following Lord Norfolk
    Purple is the rally point for all three armies to attack as one. After that attack, they will break off to defeat the last provinces of the north.
