Dark Ages

Gildas was raised by his uncle to be a warrior, raised by priests to be a scholar, and raised by his mother to be charming and funny. Placed in charge of a decaying Keep due to his dead father's bloodline, he must find a way to protect his people from a marauding clan of barbaristic Vikings led by the fearsome Halbjiorn. The battle goes well for Gildas and his handful of knights safely inside the walls of the keep, then an "omen" falls from the sky in the form of a green meteorite. The sky darkens and it begins to rain heavily. As the downpour washes the blood from the bodies strewn about the battlefield, Halbjiorn calls off the attack to discuss this "sign" with his shaman. The rain continues into the night, washing a strange green ooze (from the meteorite) down a hillside and into a graveyard. Later that night, the dead come back from their graves to feast on the living. Gildas, seeing the carnage ensue, offers an uneasy and temporary alliance with Halbjiorn's deteriorating force. Gildas's cousin John, a weasel of a man, sees this as an act of treason and forms a plan to wrest the Keep from Gildas. While the zombie army swells in number, the humans fight a desperate battle for survival. The security of the Keep is compromised because of a foolish and cowardly act by John. Armed with only medieval weapons, can what remains of a tattered army prevail over the fury of a horde of hellish ghouls? Will humanity survive?
