There is not much left before the announcement of the Crusade against the Slavs. Soon Bernard of Clairvaux and Pope Eugene will send crowds of fanatics, mercenaries and knights to the north. The time of grave trials is approaching, and the Venedo Union strikes ahead of the curve. Hundreds of Slavic ships go to sea and attack longtime enemies, the Danish Vikings. And this is just the beginning. The banners of the Varangians, Prussians and Swedes roar over the sea. Cities and villages of enemies burn, ships are intercepted, and rich trophies are sent to Ruyan. The Slavs have a chance to change their future, and together with the blood brothers, the leader Vadim Sokol from Rarog goes into battle.
