Hello everyone, I'm recording this on the 10th of March 2018.

The Kickstarter is one third of the way through.

We're doing well, but there's still a long way to go.

So today I thought I'd just jog the memories of anyone who needs them jogging about the

House of War.

One of the key rewards in the Kickstarter are three bonus episodes based on the fictional

story I created back in episode 89.

For anyone who doesn't really remember that episode, here is a replay.

If you enjoy it, please consider pledging for the Kickstarter to get three more episodes

like it, exploring in further depth what it would be like to live in Anatolia under

the threat of an Arab raid.

I think the episode will be really good, but see if this reminder does anything for you.

20 days to go, please check out the Kickstarter at thehistory of Byzantium.com.

You are standing on top of a wall, staring into the distance.

You're sure you can see something.

The morning light is only a few minutes old, so you're squinting hard.

It could just be birds?

No.

You're increasingly sure that the movement you see is the enemy on the move.

Most is rising on the horizon, and the number of small black dots you can make out must

be an army.

You call for your commander to be woken.
