MYTH
Celebrating 5 years of union on the battlefield.
Once upon a time, there was a peaceful land, ruled by the fair and just in a fortress. A land where the people could live as they chose, and live in harmony and understanding of one another. The fortress was the union of two castles, one built on top of the other. The people named the castles the Castle High and the Castle Low. With the might of both, the country prospered and flourished, and all could live contently.

On a night with a canopy draped with ten thousand stars, the castles jolted, and with a mysterious sorcery, were pulled apart from one another. The Castle High flew into the heavens to become a bastion of the sky, and the Castle Low remained anchored to the earth. The two castles split their power among themselves evenly, and rightfully, so they could rule their respective realms as they had when joined as one.
But for the men who lived on this earth, this was a curse. The power the Castle Low retained was not enough to maintain the peace for the sake of peace. Enemies from across the realms struck, sensing the kingdom's weakness. So to quell the violence around it, it turned to maintain war, for the sake of peace. It grew into a force of military might, one against none could challenge. Within its borders, all were kept safe. But stuck in an eternal war against the world, it could only prosper with increasing violence.

From above, the Castle High observed. It saw the perverse way that the Castle Low established its dominion, and it was saddened. It saw that its brother needed guidance, and from its judgment over the stars, it sent some of its own might, to quell the wars that had turned the kingdom of the Castle Low into an endless battlefield.
But having spent so little time with those who walked the earth, the Castle High misjudged, and its authority overwhelmed that of the Castle Low. The commoners were the first to notice the change and, tempered in thousands of battles, could not comprehend it. It accepted only the life of cycles past, and saw that the star the Castle High had sent to the earth would rend it obsolete with its shining power. They rose in arms to restore the kingdom of the Castle Low.

The Fourth Resurrection of PROJECT SIEGE
And such is the myth of this old kingdom. The names of those who fought for the Castle Low of history past, for the Castle Low of history present, and for the Castle Low of history predicted remain immortalized in ballad and recital. But a myth is a myth, a story of our homeland that eliminates detail to seek the innate truth within our people.
But perhaps there is a truth that has been blind to us, since the birth of the people of Castle Low. Perhaps our eyes have had cast before them a curtain of the aether, a shroud from a core truth long forgotten by millennia. Or perhaps, the shroud can be cast away, with the swords that shaped our world into the one we have today.
