Rise of the Paladins
The Order of the Paladin was the result of the miracle at Hinern. The mighty Crusaders, armed with the best Capitar could offer, had fallen almost instantly in battle while the Channeler, Roland alone had brought low the mighty Emperor of Yithril.
A whole sale movement towards equipping soldiers with magical equipment had thus grown to fruition with the Order of the Paladin being the result.
The 23rd year of Roland’s reign..
The Empire of Yithril had constructed Hinern in such a way to bottle up the fledgling Kingdom of Capitar [AI note: That’s right, the shape of your city does have strategic importance and the AI does and will make use of that].
The known world
Umber a friend, but not an ally.
… Time
Passes…
Roland’s second daughter, Kalypso had grown up.
And a powerful sorceress she would become.
Resolve had also grown.
A break down of how it is researching so much
A Dance with Dragons
So powerful had Roland’s daughter become that it was said that even the mighty dragons preferred her company.
But in truth, Roland, having mastered the art of diplomacy, had put great effort into seeking out and gaining the trust of the legendary creatures.
[Developer’s note: We have since tweaked the defense of dragons to be somewhat higher]
Dragons are immensely powerful but one little known fact about them, they are expensive to keep fed. Over 6 gildars a month was spent feeding them.
And so it was with dragons and other creatures of might that Kalypso, the most powerful Channeler of her generation, marched to war to deal with the menace of Yithril once and for all.
You can see a quick video of the dragon and Kalypso approaching here:

And the battle:
Only Kalypso would survive the battle.
“Perhaps,” Roland said to his daughter, “If we cannot defeat them on the battle field, we can starve them out.”

A pity that there is no video of the battle. Would have been awesome.
