On the player character's travels, (s)he comes across a fort with burn marks on the walls and very few soldiers to speak of. Your avatar is the captain who commands the fort, and she lots most of the men and women stationed there in an epic battle against the Enemy's army. She narrowly lead her troops to victory over the far larger force through brilliant tactics, skill with her bow, and generally being a good leader that people can rally behind. Of course, it was a difficult battle- most of the troops were killed, and they're running low on supplies. She sends the main character to get help from the King, and aids him/her in skirmishes and battles near the fort.
