The campain starts in the city of Grantebryce on the date Æftiðre 2, A.I. 1671.
Queen Æthelflæs Ældrǣd has recently died and her funeral procession from Tomsæta to Caerlow is currently underway.
The game will start with a hook that the players are strongly encouraged to follow. This will lead to a short campain, after which the game will change to a sandbox model.
