The old Noyan look down upon his rival's warriors, upon the horsehair standards and lamellar vests, gleaming in their battle array. The sky had been dark for weeks, but a ray of light pierced the clouds and he saw behind the veil the clear blue of heaven.
Ancestors, spirits of winds, of mountains, of wolves and of the great unending sky, he thought, Let me scour this shame on our people today, or let me not see tomorrow if I should fail. His mind's eye lingered back to the Kurultai.
A black plume of smoke reached into the great unending sky. A fearsome gale rolled black clouds over the Earth, and heaven shielded its sight from the great shame below.
The remains of the yurts smouldered, and wolves lingered amidst the arrow stricken elders. The Kurultai, the most sacred of Khergit rites, was violated. The old Noyan looked despondently down upon the blasphemy before him, but a sight in the distance caused him to stir - he raised his eyes to see a standard appear over the hill opposite the Kurultai. Who else but he? The old would-be-Khan growled.
Beneath that standard, the youngest Noyan of the Khanate looked across and thought the same. Both departed in haste, so hateful in their purpose that the old patriarchs and matriarchs of the great Khergit clans would lay as carrion upon the earth - without mourning, without burial, and without honour.
The old Noyan stirred again, as a flash of lighting split the sky far in the distance. All prayed that the great din of battle would reach high enough to heaven, and lift from them the ire of the Gods - or had their ancient parents abandoned them already?

Calradic Campaign Starter Guide
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 - an unorthodox battle map, 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 years. 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!
