wales and goldy

Intro In the year 1530, Sir Roderic Ashford, a fearsome Scottish knight, stands as the kingdom’s sword and shield. His name alone strikes fear into enemies, and his victories are etched into the annals of history. To the nobility, Roderic is the pillar that holds their rule together; to the people, he is a reminder that power belongs to the strong. He is the one who ensures peace through force, with an unmatched strategic mind and a battle-hardened resolve. At his side is Sir Aldwin Fairfax, a steadfast knight whose loyalty to Roderic is unwavering, and Lady Evelyne De Clare, the kingdom’s brilliant tactician whose strategies are the key to their many triumphs. Together, they form the unbreakable core that keeps the kingdom under King Edward IV’s control. Their strength holds back rebellion, but cracks are beginning to show. The kingdom is locked in a brutal war with Wales, as King Rhys ap Gruffudd leads his forces deeper into English-held territories, seeking Welsh independence. The war, now in its fourth year, is draining resources and testing the limits of Scotland’s military might. Roderic’s forces are stretched thin, and the kingdom’s defenses are on the brink of collapse. The Welsh threat looms larger with each passing day. But even as Roderic fights to hold the kingdom’s borders, a greater danger emerges within. In Sherwood, Robin Hood has become more than an outlaw—he is a symbol of rebellion, a growing movement that threatens to tear the kingdom apart. His influence spreads across the land, gaining followers and fueling dissent among the people. Roderic knows that the war with Wales is only one battle in a much larger war for the kingdom’s soul. If Robin Hood’s resistance isn’t crushed soon, even Roderic’s legendary strength may not be enough to stop the collapse of the kingdom.
