[QUOTE="TallIan, post: 7890455, member: 6853819"] EDITED Pallas was born in Gamma. His father had gained some fame in a war and enough wealth to purchase a farm and take a foreign wife. Pallas’ mother was from Alpha and understandably the family were staunch supporters of the alliance between Alpha and Gamma, even as more and more called for an alliance with Beta. By the time tensions had escalated to war Pallas was old enough to stand in the phalanx. Curiously he was not placed in his usual unit, but handpicked for a flanking maneuver. He was young and unproven for such a task, but Pallas accepted it. They were led straight into an ambush. Out of site and reach of their own forces an ambush waited. As the trecherous officers and scouts fled, arrows and artillery rained down on the trapped unit and a realisation dawned – all the men in this unit were supporters of the alliance with Alpha. As this news spread through the unit one of the few veterans in the unit called out, “Should any man here escape this butchery, it is on you to avenge us!” Just then Pallas was struck a blow and fell. Many hours later he awoke. His head ached as his helmet pressed against his skull. Looking around he could see many, many bodies and the first few scavengers routing around but no camp followers searching through the fallen for a loved one; no priests or workers tending to the dead, not even any fires to mark the site of the battle. Whoever won the battle should have cared for their dead, taken their trophies and left a marker for the loser’s priests. To leave a battle site unmarked and allow the bodies of men to be torn apart like carrion was despicable. There must be some dark motivation for such a failing of the requirements of civilization. Pallas removed his mangled headgear, scraping his skull and drawing fresh blood. Feeling himself for injuries, he found nothing serious. A cut on his head and a slice along his thigh from an arrow and some bruises. Nothing immediately life threatening, but if it wasn’t cleaned soon it could mortify. He stood up slowly and made his way to Alpha, it was closer and he would likely find sanctuary among his mother’s family.
