Noble Beginnings — D.W. Jackson

The duchy of Farlan has been caught up between the civil war of the empire for so long no one remembers a time when war has not been a part their lives. Though not on the battle front the king constantly calls for supplies and more importantly men. When the king calls for Farlan to send more soldiers than they have able bodied men left , Farlan finds itself at an crossroad. Either send every children barely old enough to hold a weapon to the war front or turn their back on the king and declare their independence. Whatever choice is made one thing is for sure the people of Farlan will know bloodshed.
