Tangorodream - The Oath of the Twelve Stars

Tht 12th of December, 2012.
An expedition of archaeologists is lost among thick forests and endless fields in search of unique discoveries.
The secret chronicle sources mentioned about existance of a certain “Cursed castle”,
which keeps the mystery veiled with gloom.
It was already the second month of wanderings in endless waste lands and deep impassable forests…
And there, finally from behind the mountain fangs, charred, half-destroyed towers showed themselves.
The expedition realized that it could not be nothing else, and at once went to the ruins.
A shocking sight appeared before their look: the castle was half-destroyed, walls were covered with soot, and the nearest two hundred metres of ground looked dead and had no vegetation.
The gates were trodden in the ground, and from the walls at the entrance hung crusified, driven with steel wedges, skeletons…
Which once were the inhabitans of this place.
The expedition made its way through the ruins of the town to the royal chamber, holding its breath.
Everywhere were visible the signs, casting images of terrible tragedy once happened here.
The doors of the royal chamber were blocked up with a huge cross. Judging by blackened metal, it was seen that they’ve tried to set the building on fire, but by unknown reasons it was only charred on the outside.
After a few hours of hard work they managed to unlock the doors, and here came into force the Oath of the Twelve Stars.
Before the expedition’s look appeared a strange sight: in the center of the hall stood the royal throne, on which a skeleton in regalia and artefacts set.
Skeleton’s right hand lay on the sword-hilt, and the left one rested at the heart as if he was swearing an oath.
And expedition was already approached by rising at the pedestal of the throne twelve skeletons, ironclad in silver armour and with the swords in their hands.
For these long years they mastered the battle skill to perfection.
That’s therein was hidden the mystery of the castle - realized the archaeolog who led the expedition, falling onto dirty floor under blows of iron gauntlets.
And above the spires of the towers like the rays shone twelve stars.
They kept the oath.
