Current News
===============
The Nation of MostlyNotEngland and DefinitelyNotFrance are gearing up for war. Border towns of the two nations are recruiting infantry and levies to face the impending bloodshed. A minor skirmish has broken out on the border of ProbablyNotFrance and MaybeNotItaly. Reports say the local militia, though underequipped and overwhelmed, are holding their town against the enemy.
Candles for warding away those night frights! Only 2 gold per stick!

Arbitrary headcount is maxed.
What should you do?As the battle is winding down.
1. Start deciding on a name and leader for YOU.
2. Start thinking about what kind of payment you want (as impromptu militia leaders). Ask for too much and you'll be killed to save money, mind you (assuming you can't justify out of it well enough)
