Long ago have the Romans abandoned Britain. Their edifices and monuments have crumbled to dust and ash and in their wake chaos reigns. The men of Wessex, East Anglia and Mercia all look to their Christian God to deliver them from the fury of the Northmen and the Bretons, who swarm Britain like flies on a carcass. Now more than ever must they pray, for a coalition of Danes descends upon Britain, taking kingdoms one by one. In these uncertain times men look to shieldwalls as an opportunity for glory...
Or death.
