The story takes place as war wracks Bohemia in 1403. On the orders of Hungarian king*Sigismund,*Cuman*mercenaries raid the mining village of*Skalitz, a major source of silver. One of the survivors of that massacre is Henry, the son of a blacksmith. Destitute and vengeful, Henry joins the service of Lord Radzig Kobyla, who leads a resistance movement against Sigismund's invasion. As Henry pursues justice for his murdered family, he becomes involved in an effort to restore Bohemia's rightful king and Sigismund's half-brother,*Wenceslaus IV, to the throne.
The game features branching quest lines and an*open world*environment which encourages emergent gameplay, and includes early*15th century*period-accurate weapons, clothing, combat techniques, and architecture recreated with the assistance of architects and historians.
So you're not some great knight or sword fighter at the start of the game, rather you have to practice your sword skills and level up and rank up your skills to improve as a warrior (or bard or thief, etc). Same with taking care of your weapons. You can either pay blacksmiths for weapon maintenance and to sharpen your swords and axes, or you can sharpen your own weapons to increase your skills in weapon and armor maintenance.
