Tyranny of Steel

In the center of Kufstein lie a Theater Hall, which had recently finished construction, and tonight was its grand opening. Because of this thousands of people from across the city had gathered to witness the masterpiece that was written and directed by the young High Queen of Austria.

Whether it be commoners or the nobility, all would gather together to witness the brilliant play conducted by the talented actors and actresses who lived within the Kingdom of Austria. For the Grand Opening of the Theatre House, Adela had constructed a play based upon the Battle of Teutoburg Forest.

This was a battle fought in ancient times by the Cherusci Chieftain Hermann, also known by his Roman name Arminius, who led the Germanic tribes to victory against three Legions of the mighty Roman Empire. In Berengar ’s previous life this battle was used as a propaganda piece for centuries, and he intended to make use of it in this timeline as well.

Standing in the center of the stage was an attractive young man with long straight blonde hair and sky blue eyes; he was dressed in the thick woolen clothing of the Ancient Germanic People, with a lorica Hamata coat of mail over it.

This actor who played the role of Arminius was currently huddling over a fire on stage as he discussed the Roman Advance into the Black Forest with other actors who represented the various Germanic Chieftains.

”The Romans shall enter the forest on the morrow; when they do, we will meet them with sword and spear! When these foreigners enter our lands, they shall feel the wrath of the German people! For Wodanaz! For Germania!

Another actor who was a middle-aged man scoffed when he heard this before responding with a boisterous voice.
