he year is 1161 AD and Frederick Barbarossa has appointed Duke Vladislav II the king of Bohemia. Since his arrival, the country of Bohemia has been graced with peace and prosperity. The countryside is now riddled with a new crop and the times of poverty are over. The country of Bohemia has once again found a ruler.
Emperor Henry IV is actirwx fighting the third crusade and our king has decided to aid Henry in his efforts. Many of the Knights of Bohemia have ventured to the lands to the south to try to win favor of the Emperor.
You find yourself at your cottage in a village not to far from Prague. Your journeys from the west have served you well and you decided to rest a while before venturing forth. You were in the middle of eating when you heard a messenger ride into town. You hear a knocking at your door. It is a messenger from Prague. He carries a note meant for you. You quickly open it. It reads as follows:
Sir Peter MacGregor calls upon you. You quickly pack your things and make haste to the Prague gates. You arrive at the south gate and notice something moving in the brush. You can not make it out but you hear its rustling. Could it be a dog? Possibly. You proceed to the gates and Knight allows you to pass. You walk through the streets of Prague. Death had plagued this town. Blood filled the streets. Coffins line the blood stained road to the Golden Leaf Tavern. You ask yourself what could do such a thing? You arrive at the tavern and enter quietly. It is abandoned. Soon after you enter a few other Civilians walk through the door. By their expression you can tell they received the letter also. You were warming your hands by the fire when 2 Knights entered the room. Soon after, a man dressed in gold plated platemail enters the room. You can tell he is a ranking officer.
Your story begins here in the Golden Leaf Tavern...
