Band of Blades
The Legion has retreated after losing their battle against an army made up of undead soldiers. They are now on the run from more forces controlled by King Cinderesque's empire as they approach Skydagger Keep at a critical moment in time to prevent them being overtaken or cut off completely before it is too late for any survivors left within the Legion ranks after their previous battles against an invasion of undead soldiers. The player character, who has been chosen from among many candidates and imbued with powers bestowed by various gods during times when they were needed most as a Chosen Soldier serving in the military organization under Commanders set mission priorities to direct troops into action; Marshals coordinate strategic retreats while Quartermasters manage precious resources like food supplies for soldiers. Spymasters gather intel on enemy positions, Lorekeepers preserve Legion history and heritage of brave or flawed people seeking survival from King Cinderesque's horrors, whereas Army Advancement allows the player character to gain new equipment as they advance in rank within their military organization under Commander management with promotions that may be earned after successful missions. Finally, four distinct sets representing different individuals who have fought alongside each other and served together provide an extra layer of depth into a single campaign system for players looking to experience what Band Of Blades offers on
