Prologue: The War of the Roses

~ The British Empire in the 1480's. The War of the Roses, a power struggle between the houses of Lancaster (Red Rose) and York (White Rose) to decide a royal successor was nearing an end. With the Yorkists well in the lead the reign of Richard III was but a step away. And in France, Yugi (Henry Tudor)-the last Lancastrian heir- was being forced to live a life of exile. The Lancastrian forces were rendered powerless by ancient cards of sorcery wielded by `Seto' and his seven followers who known as the Rose Crusaders served under the flag of Lord Crawford, a powerful Yorkist nobleman. Lacking a duelist to champion their cause defeat was imminent for the Lancastrians. In England duel card games were still at the fledging stage. Thus the Lancastrians had to look elsewhere for a duel master capable of facing the Rosenkruez in battle. With this in mind, Margaret Mai Beaufort of Lancaster secretly requested a High Druid to summon a duelist from another age. ~
