#601, "Chapter 1"
|
Red lightning crackles in the skies north of the encampment.
In the eastern trenches, muddy Whitecloak soldiers focus with renewed vigor on the swirling mists beyond the gate. In the ruins beyond the mist, insubstantial Nightwalkers roam - a source of darkness that must perpetually be repelled by the front lines. At the southern perimeter, patrols have increased. The southern gate remains closed, two menacing figures standing with halberds at the ready.
Another flash of red.
The Captain and Commander stand over a table in their opulent tent, reviewing a map of the surrounding area. Mountains to the north - sheer cliffs. The location for the encampment was perfect, with only two possible approach routes to defend: east and south. And for years, it had proved effective. But this was the third day of the unnatural red lightning. Always to the north.
And closer, now, than before.
What was coming?
A high guard peeks his head into the tent. The Commander looks up, nodding his permission to enter. A sweaty, breathless archer follows. Nervously, he gives his report.
Bad news is never well received.
