Lustmage, the mighty Lustreign's daughter, stood on the balcony of the castle overlooking the great armies, and thought of her coming duty.
The war against humanity had gone well at first. Lustreign's armies swept across the land, swallowing up slaves and towns with little resistance. All the humans could even hope to do was run.
Then, one day, they were stopped dead in thier tracks. The Human army had gathered together and began a fearsome counter-assault, adapting anti-calvary tactics to fight thier new enemy.
