Roland, Roland, Sound your final blast,
As one by one your men at arms die fighting in the pass.
And last of all is Oliver by swordsmen overthrown,
And you of all the Frankish knights now stand alone.
Roland, Roland, oh black the day you died.
Your comrades slain around you and your sword there by your side.
They found you on a hilltop with your face turned to the foe,
And never has there been a day of such great woe.
Roland, Roland, your name will live in song,
Whenever brave men take up arms to right a grievous wrong.
The fairest flower of chivalry to bloom in all the land,
And the noblest of all the knights of Charlemagne.
It was a surprise party for Roland and the lads. The others missed out on the festivities.
My ancestors
He tried pulling a Hannibal but failed
This is the story that inspired the Song of Roland.
The orcs are here! Sound the horn of Gondor!!
“Don’t March large columns of troops through narrow trails in a dense pine forest”
– The Roman legions 9 AD
I love how you have the blocks snaking along the mountain paths like that. Creates a very cool, immersive scene
I wonder if my ancestors were there
God I wish someone would make a rts game about these squares and reqtangles :¦
