Prelude
Shortly after the Battle outside Tierre Natal, King Cesar went on a diplomatic mission to Norland with the majority of his forces. He believed that if he brought his army, the Norlanders would recognize Hyspia more. Whatever his thoughts, he ordered his life-long friend Jose Santiago to raise a garrison of 200 militiamen, which Jose accomplished with ease. Meanwhile to the far west, a majority of the scattered bandits from the previous battle managed to regroup, and began making plans to exact their revenge and raid Tierre Natal. The bandit leader, whos name is unknown, was informed somehow that the Hyspian army was absent, and all that remained was a token garrison. With this in mind, the Bandit force marched to attack the sparsely defended capital of Hyspia.
