NARRATOR

“As the shards rained down from the skies and decimated the land, the people quickly grabbed what few precious belongings they could and fled into the underground caverns. With both Lord British and the Avatar missing and presumed dead, it was up to the remaining members of the Great Council to lead the survivors through this dark time.

Three months into their underground exile, the situation had grown desperate, as the survivors had nearly exhausted their small supply of food and fresh water. The Great Council sent several hunting expeditions deeper into the caverns to replenish their depleted stock, but none of them returned. All that was heard were distant screams…and then silence…”

The great historian Theodric, from The History of New Britannia, Vol. 1

NARRATOR

PART I: DESPERATE TIMES

It is evening in the sprawling, underground tent city of Brittany. Most families are sitting down to dinner, but not so for the less fortunate…

MARLA (pleading)

Please, Duke Corvus, all I ask for is a bit of bread and water for my starving children…

NARRATOR

The young woman stands before the rather corpulent, middle aged, gray haired noble who was reclining on some red velvet pillows in his opulent tent. On a nearby table is a wide assortment of freshly prepared meats, cheeses, breads, fruits and wines. A young, buxom, scantily clad blond woman is feeding the Duke pieces of smoked bacon. The young mother’s gaunt young son and daughter cling to her with what little strength they still have.

Duke Corvus looks at the pleading, young woman with disdain.

ANGELUS CORVUS

You should have been better prepared for these hard times… I only have enough food and water to provide for myself and my servants. I have nothing to give you!
