THE STORY

The Shield of Loxwood

Dishonour and tyranny

In the ancient realm of Loxwood, chivalry and honour were once the way of things. But following his uncouth victory as King, Lord Villian has forged a cruel and brutal era. The good folk of the Kingdom, who toll the earth, now live by the sword. As Lord Villian’s wealth and waist grow fat, the People grow tired of hunger and toil under his tyranny. At the Loxwood Joust, the King’s festival of filthe and fury, an uprising shall commence. Choose your shield, and prepare for battle!

Lord villian rules!

T’has been but a year since Lord Villian, Lady Helena, and their loyal knights, campaigned in fierce competition to win the hearts and minds of the Kingdom. After much deception and trickery, rule of the Kingdom was awarded to Lord Villian, who swiftly locked his challenger in the Tower. Lord Villian’s subjects, still none the wiser to the cruelty that was to ensue, rejoiced. But Lord Villian’s reign was not to be joyous for anyone other than his most loyal band of men.

TWO RIVALS WILL BATTLE

King Edward (William) Villian

The wealthy landowner won the Crown with his conniving yet charming nature, but his brutal tyranny as King has left loyalties frayed. Has he enough coin to win favour with his band of uncouth supporters, or have they too had enough of his unconscionable reign?

Lady Helena

‘The Hood’

Lady Helena, spurned by her imprisonment has escaped her captor and plots a rebellion of the People! The brave and embittered rebel of the King lurks in the woodland seeking allies to give back the rule of Loxwood to the townsfolk and return the realm to its former glory. For Loxwood!
