"Fool! Can't you see? My father sent us here to die! He wants me dead to protect my half-brother's precious succession. We are masterless men now, and we must seek our own fortune -however we may."

—Prince Rodrik, speaking to his men

[1a]

Prince Rodrik of L'Anguille was one of the most famous Bretonnian to have ever ventured into the Lustrian jungle. In the year 1847, the Bretonnian Duke Tudual of L'Anguille dispatched his much-loathed bastard son Prince Rodrik on an expedition deep into the jungle of Lustria, hoping, some say, that the obnoxious youth would not return. Many tales are told of the young prince cutting a swathe through the eastern jungles, plundering Lizardmen ruins and even attempting an ill-advised assault upon Amazon Island. But he overstretched his luck when he launched an attack upon the temple-city of Xlanhuapec, not realising that it was in fact a fully functioning city and not some poorly guarded ruin. The Lizardmen observed his nonchalant approach, and allowed the army to enter their city before launching a devastating ambush that wiped out the bulk of the invaders' forces in moments. Prince Rodrik and his officers survived the slaughter, but still had to escape Xlanhuapec — and hundreds upon hundreds of enraged Lizardmen, intent on seeing their blood. Rodrik and his men fought bravely to reach freedom, but against such numbers they eventually fell one by one. Rodrik was the last to be slain, incinerated by a magical blast from a Skink Priest.[1a]
