Eckhard stood within the Great Hall of the Royal Palace within the city of Prague. The halls were stained with the blood of the Bohemian loyalists and their allied forces. Their corpses littered the ground and had already begun to rot. The blade of the Austrian field marshal was coated with the sanguine liquid of life.
Though he had not personally slain King Radek of Bohemia, Eckhard had done his fair share of bloodshed in the battle that led to such a result. Standing atop the Bohemian King's lifeless body was none other than Alexej Kaspar, a man revered by the radical Hussite Sects as a War Saint of their faith.
With Berengar's assistance, the Kasparian's and the other Hussite armies had waged a long and bloody war against the Bohemian Crown and their Catholic Allies. However, it was not until Austrian Agents posing as servants of the Bohemian Crown distributed weapons to criminals and brigands that the common people began to take arms against their masters.
