Background

Thestwick is Alderham Fen’s southernmost population centre. Beyond it lies 20 more miles of murky marshland. Somewhere in this stretch of fen lies the border with Talmouth, a far wealthier duchy. The exact location of this border is occasionally disputed, but as it sits somewhere in an unliveable marsh, the two duchies mostly ignore the unclear border.

However, the new Duke, Fandry I, was so concerned that the Talmouth knights would attempt to annex his worthless marsh that he erected the Thestwick Watch, an enormous stone garrison. Its Commander, Sir Ranulf, and his Squire Kenric have been posted to the Watch along with a garrison of soldiers to maintain the border and patrol the surrounding fens.

Most of the guards have succumbed to boredom over the many months with little action, and Sir Ranulf is concerned about their battle readiness. He is looking for a band of mercenaries to ‘test’ his men. If anyone can make it into the fort, through the keep and onto the rooftop without being captured, he will pay them a tidy sum of gold as a reward. As it turns out, the Duke of Talmouth is willing to pay double for the same feat, so long as Ranulf and Kendric are also ‘removed’.
