The Box of Death

The swamp-people are mobilising. Soon the Lord of Hambrig's castle will be under attack...

It's AD 1263. The country of Mallrovia lies just to the east of England, and the frontier shire of Hambrig is in danger. Decades of hostility are about to culminate in a pitched battle. Yet the swamp-people have a point - this land was once theirs. Now they are coming to take it back, reinforced by a formidable foreign army. The survival of Hambrig seems impossible.

Once, Hambrig had a treaty with the swamp-people, but the treaty was lost and their king went into exile. Confined to the swamps for the last hundred years, the tribe want their land back. More than that - they want their revenge.

And now a strange box has appeared in the castle on the hill. It carries with it a cryptic message from the enemy.

Opening the box spells death - but it seems there is no choice...
