	<br><br>As much as it is possible to generalize about the character of an entire nation, the Viamontians, to put it mildly, are a proud and aggressive people.

	<br><br>It took us only a day to discover what had happened. A crisis at home compelled the recall of the Viamontian army. The problem came from a familiar source: a direct descendant of Bassano of the Bellenni. The Duke of Bellenesse, once King Varicci's most trusted warlord, the one who had personally executed the Emperor of Roulea, has turned against his master. Details of the political situation within Viamont are always difficult to gather, but it is known that the Duke's daughter treacherously slew the younger of Varicci's sons, Prince Renlen, in a supposedly friendly duel. At the same time, the Duke launched a rebellion against his King, gaining the support of several other influential lords.		<br><br>It took us only a day to discover what had happened.

	<br><br>Things did not go as the Duke planned, largely because of the leadership of the King's elder son, Crown Prince Varicci. After a series of royalist victories, the Crown Prince brought his army into the lands of Bellenesse and laid siege to the Duke's fortress. In that battle, facing total defeat, the Duke took his surviving vassals and soldiers through a portal that had appeared within the castle. It did not take long for the bloodthirsty Prince to take his own army through the portal to continue the pursuit.		<br><br>Things did not go as the Duke planned, largely because of the leadership of the King's elder son, Crown Prince Varicci.

	<br><br>Their history reads as a litany of battles, great and small, from clan squabbles over a herd of livestock to their massive campaigns of foreign conquest. The sources of their eternal war can be found in their earliest history. Their successes in war can perhaps be traced to their semi-mythical "Blood-Father," a man named Karlun.		<br><br>Their history reads as a litany of battles, great and small, from clan squabbles over a herd of livestock to their massive campaigns of foreign conquest.
