The frozen tundra hides an army from centuries past trapped in enchantments and sealed in the ice. When released by ancient rituals, the soldiers found themselves awakened and beholden to the dead emperor for whom they had once fought.
The Forgotten Army marched southward, reclaiming in blood the land lost to them long ago. Nothing but an empty pang of a modern pistol could strike at the magical armor worn by the re-enslaved men. Two opposing nations, enemies since decades, faced extinction unless they merged.
Then the West’s General Elena and the East’s Commander Ishar came together to form a not so powerfully claimed parted alliance. Together they would discover the army’s Achilles’ heel: an object of antiquity-and-holiness hidden in the wreckage of the old empire.
Their combined strength was forced to initiate a desperate recovery mission to retrieve the relic. With the quite furious battles on their tails and losses rising, they succeeded in breaking the curse on army soldiers, which crumbled into dust, for it had fulfilled its duties to a time long past.
This held to peace, though not completely stable, between nations. The Forgotten Army became a story of caution against conflicts that went past as well as the present.
