Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix challenges your tactical nous across a lengthy and challenging campaign. The Kingdom of Dryden has an incredible history thanks to the story of a Phoenix facing down enemies generations ago; now, buoyed by that legacy, King Harold continually seeks conflict. Follow the tale of a band of mercenaries, working for coin but then challenged to consider whether their actions, and those of King Harold, are what is best for the land. What follows is a story of war, betrayal, magical lore and redemption for a nation!
Situated on the northern continent lies the Kingdom of Dryden, a constitutional monarchy and sovereign nation. It is said that a hero, blessed by the Phoenix, cut through over 1000 foes to establish the kingdom. As if personifying that violent legend, the current king, Harold, has been warring with neighboring countries ever since he ascended to the throne ten years prior. The desolation caused by continuous conflict has caused dissatisfaction to peak among the populace. They now rise up, led by one Earl Iscariot. One day, when the Royal Army was invading another state, his Rebel Army attacked the under-manned Royal Castle and captured it. And so the Kingdom of Dryden now finds itself caught between a civil war from within, and war with the neighboring Collingwood. King Harold, unable to move his army away from the Collingwood frontlines, decided to hire mercenaries to be his army in fighting against the rebels. One of the first mercenary bands to respond to the call was the Crimson Birds. This up-and-coming band is led by their commander, Kane the Crimson Flash, and vice-commander, Jeremy the Phoenix.
