A Castle of Ill-Repute - Calradic Campaign #25

Almerra Castle is in ruins

The wretched castle had seen more action then any other place in Calradia these past years, and the stones that once stood stalwart against the tides of invasion now are strewn across the earth, a shadow of its former glory. Even the wooden palisades erected when the stones came apart were burned by lost Nords. Many questioned how they ended up there in the first place, but even the most wise of elders can only recount, "things weren't as organized back in those days". Anyway, Almost every faction had known the whore of Calradia.

The new Rhodok King, however, could not afford to be picky, and had to settle for what he could get. The success in the field during the last crusade emboldened Rhodok hearts but the failure to reclaim the lands lost to the Sarranids cautioned the Rhodok King.

Thus the Rhodoks sent an expedition eastward to reassert their control over Almerra, and refortify their border against any that would seek to invade their mountain homes.

Sanjar Khan, hearing of a Rhodok army marching down from the hills, laughed at the notion. Easy prey. The Khanate mobilized and marched west at breakneck pace, determined to catch the Rhodoks in the open and before any fortifications could be made. If the Khan could catch this fish out of water, he could encroach into the foothills of the Rhodok heartland with ease.

Welcome to the 25th Calradic Campaign

This month we will see the Rhodoks and the Khergits vying for control over Almerra castle. The event will follow the usual format - a field battle followed by a siege battle. The winner of the field battle will get to attack in the siege.

If the Rhodoks win both field and siege, they get Unuzdaq Castle.

If the Khergits win both field and siege, they get Almerra Castle.

To join the event, just join the server! There are no sign-ups required, and while it is recommended to join voice chat for bants and vague tactics, it isn't required.

Before the event begins there will be a pre-event death match - feel free to join and warm up as well as ask any outstanding questions.

After that there will be the ceremonial duel in our custom dueling arena, between the respective faction leaders. This doesn't decide anything but it is tradition. After that is concluded, we move onto the field battle. We will likely reset the map after everyone had loaded in, and will announce when the event is "live" - that is to say, will count.

Becoming Involved in the Calradic Campaign

The Calradic Campaign team is always looking for new additions, whether it be scene makers, technical wizards, writers, or anything else of use.

Particularly, we are always looking for mapping talent. Don't be constrained by our regular format either, get creative - a new deathmatch map so we dont have to use arena for 200 people, a new dueling map, a really innovative use of an underused game mode, anything!

If you'd like to contribute your area of expertise, be sure to join our Discord to connect with the members of our team. Many of us earned our positions by bringing something new to the Campaign. We hope you'll join us in continuing one of the top community events in Warband!

Donating to the Calradic Campaign

The Calradic Campaign server is our own, and we run it ourselves on a donation basis as we have for over a year. We now have a Patreon that you can put in a monthy or one time amount to contribute. There are multiple reward tiers with more coming, and with a larger pool of money we can expand our community events (like Mod Night!) as well as preparing for the expected high server costs of Bannerlord. Or an EU server.

Leave any question, complaints, observations, memes and faction based riffing in the comments below!
