PROLOGUE

 

PICTURE

 

 

 

You know that this town sits at the border between the One Valley and the mouth of the outernical lands. It is a breeding edge of all folly of thought, of blood and of spirit;

It is where the Red Rocks give way to the savage lands of Nirn: where the sons of the Heretic Gulbeb do conquest against a myriad of beast clans; for it is a land of growing sprouting rods, man-eating plants, cannibals and gnawing, gashing death;  Beyond it, there is a wasteland, and beyond it, uncharted grounds.

This city, like other fortress-cities, is a cave with hewn tunnels sprouting wherever they please; it is in the main square where the cave originated and where the north, a gated exit, circles through and leads to the southern exit where you were allowed entry.

As you approach the main square you see a hanged man fastened to a pole near the well.

A small stream runs through the city; a woman plays by it.

There are but a few buildings here: the inn, some odd houses, a well, a shoddy shop and a small praying spot ; all made out of the same red sediment.
