ISSUE NOTES -
Sterren had been getting by in Ethshar of the Spices until the group of oddly dressed people confronted him. They'd kidnapped him and dragged him here to Semma, smallest of the Small Kingdoms. That didn't seem so bad at first. They made him a noble, with the title of Hereditary Ninth Warlord of Semma
Then he learned what his duty was. He was supposed to win the war the stupid King had stirred up by his arrogance. Three larger and stronger Kingdoms were getting set to invade Semma
Against them he would have incompetent generals, a few untrained and drunken troops, almost no weapons and not one single magician to aid him
To make things perfect if he didn't win the war for them in his position of Ninth Warlord it would be considered treason - penalty: instant death
The situation, Sterren decided, posed certain problems!
