The player characters are the last remnants of the defenders of Polosita, a makeshift keep on the new northeastern border, a hundred miles from the old, walled border. A season past, the old commander shared honey wine with the new, local, commander, and the army left to aid the city of Rome.
The player characters should be first to third level, with no more than one prophet or sorceror, and no monk. The rest should be warriors and thieves.
You should let the players know everything from the previous two sections about the decline of Rome and the prophecies of Condurat.
