Arcanacon

Children of the Revolution

by Renee and Fi McConachie

"Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry men
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again"

Montaigne is a country bled dry through its costly war with Castille.

Healthy men and women are conscripted to fight and die on foreign soil, leaving too few people to work the farms. Food shortages are rife and high taxes mean many go hungry. With Castillian vessels blocking the ports, even basic staples are hard to find in the markets of both towns and cities.

Only the aristocracy, with their money, power and magic are able to find enough to eat and live well. The dispossessed peasantry are flocking to the cities, angry and hungry.

King Leon seems to rule by whim and madness, not even his closest advisors know what the future holds.

A group of idealistic Montaigne revolutionaries are searching for a better world.

"Will you join in our crusade
Who will be strong and stand with me
Beyond the barricades is there a world you long to see
Then join in the fight which will give you the right to be free"
