Beginning log

After Roy captured Aquileia, other Etrurian powers gradually began to change their views and express their discontent for the Revolutionaries. Driven away from their palace, Roartz and Arcardo fled to Sacae, which was still under Bern's control. The vast Sacae plains lay in the center of the continent. Before Bern invaded, Sacae was inhabited by various nomadic clans. The Etrurian army joined the Lycian League Army to form a joint Etruria-Lycia Union Army. The decision was to head for Sacae to get rid of the remaining Revolutionaries, and also attack Bern, who was behind them. Thinking that some Etrurian knights would not approve of being seen as serving under the Lycian League Army, Roy officially named the new Union the "Etrurian Army" and became its commander. Roy led the division responsible for entering Sacae. The Sacaen people were wary of outsiders in the first place, but even worse, Brunnya, another of the Three Dragon Lords, had gotten the largest clan in Sacae, the Djute, under submission. The warriors of the Djute clan and Brunnya's elite troops stood in front of Roy as he set foot on Sacaen soil.
