What it is about
"Grip your spear, watch the horizon, and hold the line. If you fall, the kingdom falls with you." Lore The vanguard fell at dusk. The inner gate is shattered. You are the last remaining sentry of The Reste , a crumbling cliffside keep guarding the valley below. As night settles over the jagged coast, a freezing fog rolls in, carrying with it the rhythmic, terrifying clatter of iron. The enemy is coming up the breach in waves. There are no reinforcements. There is no retreat. There are only five brutal assaults between you and the morning light.
