Hello to all my fellow Averlanders out there.
I thought I would tell you a little bit of the fluff regarding my army. Its basically The Grand Army of Averland, its based in Averheim the army is lead by General Lucas Reinhart.
Lucas ReinhartLucas was born the son of a farmer. Farming was not for Reinhart and every night after seeing to the animals he would lie under the stars dreaming about joining the army, being dressed up in a polished suite of the finest armour.
When he was old enough he left his farthers farm and joined the local army barrcks. Reinhart was made for the army, the first few years were not what he thought the army would be like. He would find himself on the battle field with a Halbeard and an old rusting helmet. Not the thing that dreams are made of . He stuck with it and started to get noticed by the higher ranks. After a couple of years he made Sergeant and had the chance to lead his own men into combat. Things were looking up.
The barrcks in Averheim were having an open day where members of the public could come in and look around. Many people signed up or sign their children up. Marius Leitdorf was the guest of honer and he wanted to do an inspection of his troops. The word got out, and the place turn to chaos troops getting into line and formation, Lucas lined up at the head of his unit standing to attention. As the inspection continued Lucas was getting nervous he'd never seen Marius Leitdorf close up. Marius got in front of Lucas and stopped, Lucas was thinking "why has he stopped at me" Marius said nothing, just staring at Lucas. 5 minutes passed then 10 still Marius stood there looking at him, then Marius broke has gaze and said "This man is to lead my Great Swords" everybody was stunned none more than Lucas. Was this just another of the Counts mad ideas or did he really see something in Lucas.
Lucas took his new post in the Counts Castle and he took his oath never to flee the battlefield. As the years passed Marius and Lucas became good friends. Lucas was one of Marius's closest allies. Marius made Lucas a honore member of the house of Leitdorf.
Then came the day that no Averlander would forget. Word had came from Black Fire Pass that a huge Whaaaaaggghh was coming. Marius sent a massager to Altdorf requesting help. When the army got to the pass they set camp and waited for the reinforcements from Altdorf to arrive. The morning of the battle and Lucas awoke feeling weak he looked in the mirror he was as pale as a ghost. He redyed himself for battle. When the Great Swords saw the state he was in they sent for the medics. Lucas was sent to the field hospital. Marius came to see his friend before the battle. Lucas broke down and apologized, Marius told his friend not worry. He would lead the Great Swords in person and that they would drink to their victory later that night. As the day passed all Lucas could do was lie their listening and thinking about the battle and his men. The battle was won but at a high price Averland had won its freedom but lost it's Elector Count. Lucas has never forgave himself for what happened to his friend and leader it should have been him in the face off not Marius.
With so many of the top Generals and nobels dead Lucas was Promoted to General of all Averland. He has sworn guard Averland and seat of the Elector until a replacement for Marius Leitdorf can be found.
