Just Deserts - Calradic Campaign #36

The steppes of the Khergits have always had a cruel beauty to them.

Men of the Khanate are hailed as legendary fighters. Practically one entity bound together with their mount, the spirit of the horse lords is indomitable.

The intense physical aspect of their culture requires strict attunement with the spiritual plane itself. To the nomads of the east, mental dominance over one's enemy is just as important as physical prowess.

Three riders left from Asugan a fortnight ago, following rumors of a sacred artifact found in the deserts north of Bariyye, city of the Sarranid Sultanate. It was a risky endeavor, but the prize outweighed any of the men's skepticism: A pristine set of horse armor dating back to the days of the Southern Calradic Empire. Such an important relic would be sure to rally the Noyans together for many battles and raids to come.

Fate had not been kind to the would be archaeologists, as it seems that the Sultanate had already been searching for the same treasure. When others set out in search of the missing trio, they did manage to find the burial site, only with the armor missing, and their brothers slain.

/u/SanjarKhan had not taken the news well, rallying his host and marching for the obvious place his trophy would be residing: Bariyye.

Sultan /u/Arthanias has readied the garrison, personally arriving to lead the defense of the city. Claiming that the artifact is rightfully Sarranid, and that the "trespassers got what they deserved", it seems both Kings will have to prove who is worthy to lay claim to the set.

In Meta Terms

Welcome to the 36th Calradic Campaign! This event will see the Sarranids facing off against the Khergits for a valuable treasure.

If the Khergits can run down the Sarranid army in the field, they will move to annihilate the defenses of Bariyye. Should the Sarranids overwhelm the Khanate, they will quickly look to strengthen their position by striking at Asugan and Sharwa castles. (This will be reflected on the campaign map)

/u/Arthanias will be leading the Sarranids, and /u/SanjarKhan will be leading the Khergits. A marshal will be appointed if either cannot attend.

The event will be a best of 5 battle map followed by a best of 3 siege.

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.

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 don’t 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 monthly 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.

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