A General's Ambitions

King Nath stood side by side with his warriors. The Celtic war-band was adorned in mail shirts and iron helmets as they stood fiercely across the battlefield from the Picts. In northern Britannia, two armies stood across from one another on the fields of war. The Hibernians tribes had rallied under their high king after he had lost a game of drink to the Roman General Primus, and in doing so swore his servitude as Foederati to the Roman Legions. 

Thus, the two forces stood side by side as they prepared to deal with the Pictish barbarians who stood naked and painted from head to toe in woad. The barbarians rattled their swords and spears against their rectangular shields as they shouted their war cries in the distance. Primus gazed upon the brave warriors of the North, and scoffed. These men were clearly savages, incapable of producing armor, or so he thought.
