<strong>One Year Later......<br/></strong><br/><br/><br/>The horde of undead was eventually overcome but not without incident and considerable hardship on the intrepid group who fought valiantly against the evil uprising. The hero's relentless attempts to secure land in more hospitable places ensured several forts were captured, critical for ensuring high-yield farmland the rest of the populous needed.<br/><br/>During the seemingly endless fighting, the Hero of Mistpeak and the King often clashed at court but did their best to show a unified representation to the saved peoples. The Kings viewpoint was simple, win at any cost, for loosing would be letting undead rule all known lands. It wasn't up for debate. Awkwardly the Hero of Mistpeak's own insistence to look towards magic over machinery became politically her own undoing, for soon over half of Mistpeaks sorceress and warlocks had been changed to empower the magic armour suits the other hero's and a small specialist force of the kings used to ensure victory.<br/><br/>This placed many of Mistpeaks witches in a vital but subservient position for the changes were permanent, but did give the Hero of Mistpeak some political leverage in the cultural changes the new society would adopt if such a role was to stay as such. Still the woman did have to spend numerous hours with the changed witches to ensure their own morale and happiness could be seen to.<br/><br/>All the hero's gained some spoils of war from their work, but the bulk of the treasures gained quickly found their way back to the kings treasury, where finally the king had options to fund new ambitious plans for his new nation.<br/><br/>The war had taken its toll on the populace as well. Most of Albion would need major reconstruction. Luckily with the new amounts of treasure coming in, the construction would not be delayed. Most people were now beginning to doubt the capability of the King, only two years into his reign the country had seen three major conflicts and the people were starting the rumors that the King should be replaced. Especially since the last battle against the hollowmen, the King for the last three days had been bed ridden due to "battle fatigue". The King's most unpopular decision was placing his Brother Logan, back in charge of the country as the Kings Prime Minister.<br/><br/>A new threat looms in the distance however.....
