from The Drunken Scholar · host Devan Claeys

The Great Northern War reaches its climax in 1709 as Charles XII's gambit into the Ukraine comes to head at Poltava and will largely decide the war's outcome. Meanwhile the civil war in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth rages on and much of the nobility is on the fence about which side to support. Everyone is holding their breath waiting to see the results of the Swedish campaign before solidifying their stance on the war.
