So as some of you know, I started this WIP this summer and it was supposed to be a low fantasy, beginning of the middle ages kind of deal
I unfortunately lost interest in the story, and felt that my overall idea for it wasn’t that great, and frequent bugs in coding left me fed up with the whole thing, and eventually I kinda ditched it,
But I geuss I’m back now that I have an idea that genuinely interests me and that I have a concept that I actually want to flesh out so let me introduce you to the changes
Summary
The story is set in the 19th century or around that time, you’re an army officer for the Kingdom of Ljahia, however like many others you had grown disenfranchised with the way the current King ruled the country leading to you joining a long illegal, revolutionary and a pro-republic party Garda
The growing popularity of the party amongst military personnel and people in general can be atributed to the seemingly irrational policy of seizure of land owned by the peasants the Royal government had implemented along with the attempts to cut down the power and size of the army, an institution many considered a very important part of the Ljahi society. To add insult to injury after centuries of bitter fighting against the Vizantine Empire that lays South,the government had decided to sign a “friendship treaty” which would allow Vizantine soldiers to march freely trough the territory of the Ljahi Kingdom along with the premission to set up their own fortifications there, on top of all of that the Vizantine Emperor would get a yearly payment from the Kingdom’s treasury.
Many have called this out as betrayal of the people by the government and vasalisation of the country, naturally Garda immediately started planning a coup d’état. The night before the start of the operation, you, already a member of Garda, kill three Vizantine soldiers, an offence that would lead to death according to the treaty, firmly linking your fate to that of the revolution
