M&B Warband: Alone Again, Naturally.

I've lost it all.  Everything.

The day started out great.  My main goal had finally been accomplished: joining a faction.  This was my goal ever since I first played the demo over a month ago, and it finally happened.  Unfortunately it wasn't the one I wanted(the Nords), but I wasn't going to be picky about it.  Not only was I finally part of a faction, I now had actual enemies to kill rather than wasting my skills on sea raiders.  Hell I even had my own flag.  Shortly after joining an army, I had my first battle.  And it was glorious.  As I said, no more sea raiders.  These guys were actual soldiers on horseback.  Gone were the days where I took on 10-20 sea raiders.  Now I was taking on over 100 men at a time, alongside 100 other men.  Joining this particular faction pissed off one of the Nords, but I didn't mind.

I took a glance at my notes and saw I was supposed to meet up with another general to take on an army of assholes.  His last known location was 4 days old, and it was a good 2 days away.  Alas, it was the best place to start looking for him.  I actually put off this meeting for a while, because I didn't even remember receiving such orders.  I made my away to his last known location, only to find a trap.  The general wasn't to blame.  He was likely long gone, busy tackling another battle.  The castle I entered was under siege, and I had no choice but to fight them.  It was just me and 54 of my men, against their 200+ army.  Needless to say, I lost.

But not only did I lose the battle, I lost all of my men.  And my horse!  I still have my armor and some money, but I'm honestly thinking about starting over.  I know what I'm doing now, so it shouldn't be too hard to get back on top.  Then again, I still retain all my skills and strength.  I have no idea if I'm still part of this faction; I likely am, but I might just ignore it.  I have the entire world in front of me.  I could either get a few more men and take on the sea raiders as usual, or try to build up another army and take the game a bit more seriously.  Time will tell.

Oh, and this is Thera.  I have no idea where we are at this point, and I might just give up on her as well.
