Lore: Drangleic Barbarians

No rules. No Order. Only destruction.

Short Description:

Before the Warring States Era in Drangleic. The barbarian menace was a huge problem. History sadly cannot give an exact time and date as to when this menace occurred across the land. But it was deadly as it was terrifying for the common folk.

History:

The Barbarian horde was spotted by the government during it's early days. Whether or not this was unintentional is left to be seen. Some say the government wanted to act like the heroes still. And so they paid particular factions to rise up in rebellion. Others say it's the church's practices that cause the people to sway against the country. This origin story has many choices and no real point of starting origin. In a matter of days, weeks, months and years. The horde went from just a mere tens of thousands to over a hundred-thousands. The horde itself was divided into three columns each led by the Barbarian King's three sons. While the main army was the real elite of warriors. They went on and pillage and destroy much of the country. Despite the best of efforts. The people were suffering and without a proper leader to lead Drangleic's armies into battle all was lost.

Downfall:

Eventually, Three Great Noble Houses. Formed a coalition that was not only well-equipped but their supply line was endless. These houses were Oda, Takeda, and Uesugi. Despite the fears and issues of this alliance. Soon, the barbarian king lost his sons. One was killed in battle, the other died to disease, and the last son was killed by his own men. He led one final raid upon a fortified village, the village was destroyed by due to the harsh winters they couldn't move out in time before the coalition forces surrounded them. The barbarian king despite losing supplies and his men were suffering, soon his army abandoned him in just a matter of hours to about a few days. His vast army dwindled from a hundred thousand to twenty-five thousand, being outmatched by an army of elite soldiers in total of eighty thousand.

On a red and spring day. The king made his last stand. His family is all but gone. A few days prior his wife, disappeared, no trace of her. His sons died through malice or through Heaven's deceitful ways. The man was brave, his soldiers made a valiant last stand. Taking arrow shots left and right and being stabbed multiple times through the gut. By the afternoon the menace was over.
