But there is danger too: the rising power of an army that pillages and enslaves every community they happen upon. Against the wishes of the Sanctuary, a small group sets out in secrecy. Led by Lewis Meriwether and Mina Clark, they hope to expand their infant nation, and to reunite the States. But the Sanctuary will not allow them to escape without a fight.

"The Marshal's Handbook is the setting book for Deadlands Reloaded." -- From back cover

During the 14th century, a new king by the name of Vlad III had to kill his way to the top in order to secure the throne. No one dared cross his path and if they did their fate would lead them to a slow death of being impaled on his castle grounds. King Vlad III only recruited the strongest and most bloodthirsty men to join his army. Ones who didn’t pass his hell-on-earth training were not sent home but instead impaled on his castle grounds along with the other enemies or weak men who didn’t pass his training. Any man who passed the training to join his army had to drink the blood from the impaled rotting corpses as a final test of bravery and also roast the heart on a fire to be eaten as well. Vlad had plenty of land to display his trophies of impaled bodies to show his strength that would thwart any enemy that tried to reach his castle grounds and take over. As more bodies filled Vlad’s castle grounds word spread throughout the country about all the impaled bodies on his land which became known as the Dead Lands. Vlad had many death threats but no one was brave enough to carry them out because of what would happen to them. Any person that made the threat and was captured by his men was immediately brought back to Vlad’s castle grounds and given a tour of the impaled bodies before their impalement and added as another trophy kill for his enjoyment.
