In the year of our Lord 1105, His Grace, the Duke of York has sent you, Sir Robyn to the northwestern province of Spartanburg to establish a fortified trading outpost. After careful survey of the land, Bodwich Bottoms has been selected as the best possible location. This river valley is very fertile, teaming with game and natural resources. The Duke of York has promised you a title and land in exchange for successfully establishing the outpost at Bodwich Bottoms. In exchange, he demands payment of gold, provisions and arms. Being a devout man, he has also ordered a monastery be established to convert the heathen of that pagan land. His Grace will send what troops he can spare to bolster your presence in Spartanburg. Beware, Baron Von Lee, an archrival of the Duke of York has also set his sights on this virgin province and will stop at nothing to thwart your efforts.

Player Notes:
This “place your own keep scenario,” allows players from all experience levels the chance to test their skills. You have the freedom to choose your starting location, each with its own unique advantages/disadvantages. If you think one location is to easy, try a different starting location for your keep – the scenario will play differently each time you play. You are not allowed to produce archers and will only get them as reinforcements as your achieve certain milestones.
I hope you enjoy this scenario and I look forward to your comments. As always, I hope you have as much fun playing this scenario as I have had creating it.
