Fayol City was not a significant city, just a small border town in the Sveno Duchy, but it was the last city under the control of the Northern Kingdom.
The North had already fallen completely.
Count Jacob led his brave and fearless "Scania Legion of Glory" in campaigns across the land, raising the banner of the Northern Kingdom, gathering exiled nobles and their private armies from various regions, expanding the legion to tens of thousands of men, and even recapturing several cities in succession.
Supporters of the North, both openly and covertly, were immediately invigorated. They all believed that a miracle was about to happen, that the legendary hero would appear once more to lead them to a glorious victory.
But they hadn't anticipated this to be the last flicker of life for the North.
Marshal Dolores of the Ashen Kingdom mobilized forces from all across the land to launch an all-out assault on the so-called "Legion of Glory."
