Lore
The Calradic Empire has finally cracked under the pressure.
After Garios Comnos' adventures in the west against the Battanians, the general was summoned to the imperial senate by the Emperor himself to answer for his actions. On the eve before the meeting, however, Emperor Arenicos was found dead in his estate, no one seeing who or what did him in.
Strategos Garios succeeded in packing the senate with many of his legionnaires, narrowly avoiding a condemnation by the senate due to the help of his men. Many legionnaires spoke out in defense of the beloved general, giving passionate speeches that rallied the senate and eventually led to the vote to condemn him failing.
Despite avoiding punishment, the embarrassment of the hearing prevented him from securing an ascension to the imperial throne, with Rhagea becoming empress of the empire. Following this, Garios' protests led to violence as the legions and senators went to arms, striking each other down in the halls of the sacred senate. while Rhagea and Garios escaped in one piece, many weren't so lucky.
Now the empire has split between Garios' revolt in the west, and the eastern empire being controlled by a coalition of the senate and aristocracy. While the east cooperates for now, Lucon has been known to harbor greater ambitions than merely an elected emperor...
A feast of imperial land is sure to begin as the non Imperial kingdoms of Calradia descend on the shattered empire. The quickest to act were the Sturgians, with Queen Regent Svana rallying her men to strike south and raid. A meeting of the Knyazs unanimously agreed to focus on the northern territories, which mostly are under Senator Lucon's control. To this end, hundreds of Varyags have been seen pouring over the hills into imperial lands to pillage and expand.
After them were the Aserai, who for quite a while have had sour relations with the empire. Sultan Unqid and the sultanate have already begun harrasing southern garrisons, and their new pact with the Battanians is sure to also draw them into the fray.
Before the empire can even fight itself, it must band together one last time to repel the invaders.
In Meta Terms
Welcome to the fifth event of the Bannerlord Calradic Campaign! This event will feature the West and East empires coming together to repel attacks by both the Sturgians and Aserai, in the first ever three way Calradic Campaign!
The Sturgians, emboldened by a recent victory against the Khuzaits, are threatening to take Epicrotea. If Rhagaea can beat back the Sturgians, the Imperials will take Omor.
At the same time, the Aserai Sultanate is attacking Emperor Garios, hoping to capitalize on the chaos of the south from his revolt. If the Aserai can defeat Garios, they will take Garontar Castle. If Garios can defeat the opportunism of Sultan Unqid, he will take Tubilis Castle.
Unfamiliar with the Calradic Campaign? Have no fear! The Calradic Campaign is a casual, player driven, story based event. There are no strict rules or signups, and players of all skill levels often come! If you've never tried multiplayer, now is your best chance to experience large scale battles without the overly strict practices typically found in line battle style events.
Victories in our flagship monthly events are represented on the overall campaign map, while roleplay surrounding the events and their consequences takes place both during said events and on the community Discord. Joining the Discord allows you to communicate with your fellow faction members, trash talk others, and rise through the ranks to one day become lord of a village, castle, city, or if you're particularly successful, an entire kingdom!
To join the event, you will need our Calradic Campaign Module. This module contains all of the custom battle and siege scenes used, as well as many stability fixes and even a few balance changes to help out weaker factions (such as Aserai struggling with no medium/heavy inf)
As a general rule of thumb, the Calradic Campaign module should be the only one enabled in your launcher! If you have any crashes or issues trying to launch the game / join the server, unsubscribing and resubscribing to the module on workshop will often fix any issues.
Note to clans: While the Calradic Campaign is a public event open to all, clans will not be allowed to organize their own formations and must spread out between teams. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in suspension from the event.
