Lions of Judah is a Mouse Guard hack set in the times of the Old Testament.
Contents |
The characters are Old Testament Israelite soldiers-come-prophets of the Lord God. They are of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, but they are set apart to do the Will of the Lord God of the Israelites.
They are the Lions of Judah.
They travel from tribe to tribe, from land to land, across searing deserts and high mountains, to share the Word of the Lord God with His Chosen People, to smite His enemies with furious purpose, and to make sacrifice to the Lord God. It is a hard life and a hard road to walk. That is why no man walks it alone. Long months and sometimes years may pass between visits to the seats of the Twelve Tribes.
The Lions of Judah are opposed by the enemies of the Chosen People: the Egyptians, the Assyrians, and the Hittites. The Lions must also contend with the weakness of the Israelites, for whom it is all too easy to turn away from worship of the Lord God. Every step on this road of faith and service is also ensnared with the devices of the Adversary, who seeks to destroy the Lions of Judah from within with temptation and doubt. The Lord God is often wont to test the hearts of the Lions of Judah.
