Under The Yoke

Step into Norman England and live through 250 years of richly realized medieval history, from 1085 to 1335. Begin as a serf with an acre of land, a ramshackle cottage, and enough provisions to endure the coming winter. Build a lineage, guide your family across generations, and shape a village as it grows around you.

Each family member is your responsibility, with three defining traits—Mind, Body and Spirit—that influence who they get along with, which activities suit them, and which events unlock as you progress. Every choice carries advantages and drawbacks, affecting daily toil and long‑term needs.

Manage core needs to keep your household thriving: satisfy Taste with more than fifty authentic medieval ingredients, grant Rest to ease labor, nurture Faith through church experiences, and grow Social ties by joining genuine village gatherings. A bustling village depends on your ability to balance these lives.

Learn a diverse set of skills vital to peasant life. Master Farming, Herbalism, Cooking, Husbandry, Carpentry, and Tailoring as you plow fields, shear sheep, tend livestock, craft furniture, and trade goods. Seasons and shifting market values keep the economy fresh and challenging.

Your cottage and garden can be upgraded with handcrafted furniture to boost the value of your goods, whether for personal use or sale. If space runs short, negotiate with your Lord for a larger home or garden and expand your household’s reach.

Farming extends beyond crops: raise cows, horses, goats, sheep, pigs, and chickens. Each animal brings unique benefits, from wool and labor to manure and meat. Choose the strength of an ox or the speed of a horse to suit your needs.

The world around you is alive with politics and law. Revisit the age‑old Hallmote—a yearly gathering to resolve disputes and elect local officials—while male family members may be called for jury duty. Negotiate feudal dues with your Lord, move toward freedom as a freeman, and claim new rights such as baking bread or hunting in the forests.

Under The Yoke weaves hundreds of dynamic events across 250 years of history, ensuring no two plays are the same. Your choices shape your family’s legacy as the world evolves from the late Norman era into a changing medieval landscape.

Experience a lived medieval life where rights, relationships, and resilience determine your fate. Step into the shoes of the common man and guide your kin through a world where every decision matters.
