Terrible times have come in Northern Rus'. Prolonged rains and frosts in the summer of 1228 A.D. destroyed the entire harvest and led to severe famine in several of its principalities. From the west, taking advantage of the weakening of Veliky Novgorod, the Russian lands are threatened by the strengthened knights of the Order of the Sword and the troops of the Livonians, and at the same time, in Pskov, in the capital itself, unrest and a conspiracy against the power of Prince Yaroslav are brewing. In neighboring Danish Estland, the troops of King Valdemar II roll back under the pressure of the “crusaders” to Russian Koporye, losing their fortresses one after another. Should I sit out in the deep forests of Derevskaya Pyatina or form a united formation with my former enemy against one big common threat? Andreevskaya brigade is preparing for new battles.
