Iron Grip: Lords of War Story

Story
The story of Iron Grip: Lords of War takes place several years after the Confederate Invasion of Atelia, which was the setting of Iron Grip: Warlords.

Under the command of Warlord Sahrab, the united Atelian tribal army managed to repel the Confederate invasion, but the destructive war has left Atelia in ruins. Although the country is rich in minerals such as coal and iron, it needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

To make matters worse, the Atelian tribes, who were once united in their hatred against the Confederates, have fallen back into their old ways. Mutual distrust and rivalry is the norm and the land is now an extremely hostile place. The tribes hire warbands consisting of battle hardened veterans and mercenaries who have lingered on after the war, to compete for resources, followers, and power.

Growing in numbers and power, these raiding groups soon become out of control. They start attacking military bases and settlements at random and establish permanent camps to organize their assaults better. In their never-ending search for wealth, it does not take long before they turn their attention to the more prosperous regions outside Atelia.

As leader of a bandit camp, players have to build their base, forge equipment, and recruit and arm warriors to plunder settlements and to defend their own possessions.
