My father was one of the first men to stand against Ulfrid he was part of an army of 12,000 but they were destroyed at the battle of hollow bridge.

He said,” Ralph for father has sadly died in battle.” When I first received the news I was in shock the man that spent my whole life trying to be like was dead. I went inside and dawned my armor, I put it on then grabbed my bastard sword and was ready to kill those bastards that killed my father. I was about to saddle up my horse when Alfar said,” there’s no use in dying with him.” My uncle said,” he’s right you know.” Then my lord rode into the estate lord Oswald he said,” I know where they intend to attack next.” I asked,” where?” He said,” the silver mines.” I asked,” how do you know that?” He said,” an army of that size has got to cost a pretty penny.” I asked,” do you know when he’s go to do that?” He replied,” no.” I asked,” when are you amassing this army?” He replied,” I have 5,000 left.” The closest mines to them world be Farmborg mines to the west.” I asked what’s you plan?” He replied,” the only roads in and out of the mines has a mountain on one side an a cliff on the other.
