In the beginning there were only peasants. These young men and women looked to the stars nightly wondering,
"Will we one day be remembered? Can we arise to the stars above and have one of the many distant lights named after us if we are to die? Will they sing tales of how we rose up against the lords who currently squat upon their wicker thrones, unaware that we shall soon sunder it in flame to bring about new life in a new era of freedmen?"This night in particular, the peasants had met in secret once again to discuss and prepare in the scoured fields around New Emerin. The time is now, for they had amassed a quantity of farming tools re purposed in hope to overturn the ownership of the land set before them. The young women by the fires wove the heraldry of their wishful future empire into tabards that they would proudly dawn the following night when the attack would commence. Men, young and old, practiced using their re purposed farming tools of crude weaponry on scarecrow practice dummies. The lords had saw fit not to let them train with real weaponry, keeping the peasants down with the locally fortified garrison of 200 strong.
The scene laid before, though perhaps pitiful to onlookers, was a grand army in the eyes of the peasants. A mixture of 530 amassed farmers, slaves, thieves, whores, ex-military, servants, convicts, squires, and milk maids. All with the same common goal. They were about to ensure a brighter future for their children. No longer did they fear the lashings of the whip. Harbored hatred for the false lords had hardened their hearts, minds, and bodies.
This particular night, they looked to the stars more intently than ever before. They
were going to be remembered. They would have songs sung of their glorious upcoming battle. To give their lives ensuring a new future would be a grand adventure, worth dying for.
