"....much has changed, friends... the chaos that is Calradia grows worse with each passing day. Starvation is upon those who can no longer fend for themselves. Greedy lords plunder the hearts and homes of innocents to fund their ever growing warmachines.
Families are torn apart, sons and fathers forced to take up arms and march against the enemy. No one is left untuched by the madness of the war.
It seems the only life in Calradia is now that of preying upon others. The only fact of which I am certain, is this war will only get worse, though in my heart, I cannot fathom how...
You all know that Zendar has since its destruction been rebuilt. Their hearts now bitter, zendarians look to their leaders to mobilize and gather a new army for the defence of Zendar and its people. Thus there will be yet another actor in this godforsaken war.
Reports from all over the land tells of ever increasing banditry. These lawless cutthroats and villains now pose a serious threat that can no longer be ignored.
To make matters worse, the invaders from the far east seem to have gained an iron grip on the snowy plains to the east. They terrorize the land and are said to be a match for any army.
My friends,
we have all lost good comrades to the war, but in coming together, we have gained new ones. You come here from all parts of Calradia, some even beyond the borders. Yet we are gathered here in friendship and with common goals.
I humbly thank you all, you honour me with your bravery.
Now, let us eat and drink in friendship! Let this be a merry evening! For we kow not what awaits us tomorrow... us...we...we, band of warriors..."

1. Female characters have mountain tribe sounds.
2. Mountain tribe sounds wrong. Sounds are played loud (i.e as if close to enemy) all the time.
3. Some new equipment are not showing up in shop as as merchandise. Some helms used by Ravenguards (aventail helms etc).
4. "Kiddnaped girl" quest - after fighting the bandits rangers are counted as enemy troops, also the cattle drive quest becomes more difficult after this.

No need to reinstall, M&B .903 can be installed to a different directory.
