272 B.C. A council of elders was held, and Haruwalfaz convinced the other Sweboz chiefs to raise two great warbands to expand the power of the tribe.

The young, untested general Athawufaz, son of one of the main war chiefs of the Sweboz, is given the smaller of the two bands, and sent to take the island of the Rugoz. Meanwhile, Haruwulfaz’s own son Ansuharjaz is sent to avenge his tribe by taking the settlement of the Heruskoz, to the southwest, and take the Holy Stones, the Erknahammaraz.



They must conquer quickly, for many debts had to be called in, and many favors asked, to raise such a large host of Sweboz warriors. If they don’t receive plunder soon, the Kunningaz may have a rebellion on his hands.
Athawufaz is the first to reach his target, and before the siege has gone on a year, he assaults the island city of Rugoz.

Rather than cower in their town, the Rugoz decide to risk it all in an all out charge.




Although they fight bravely at first, their cowardice shows when they flee back to the town center.

Fighting is fierce in the town center, but the Sweboz eventually wear down their enemies, and cut down the Rugoz chief, curiously armed in the Greek fashion.



Rugoz is added to the Sweboz empire!
