Desolation - Skarnfel vs Aphros

[Chance]

The 'final battle' is upon us, but the circumstances are certainly unusual. All civilians have evacuated or fled; mostly the latter, given that Unreality cannot support a large population. Eastern fragments have nonetheless been teleported to the hidden realm as a migration occurs.

But it has been turmoil within Aphros, morale is low and infighting has been a distraction. Most have given up and resigned themselves to defeat.

A select few haven't. There is hope still, or they just aren't willing to go down without a fight, as the invading demon horde will otherwise scorch the land.

Outnumbered... lacking leadership, lacking strength. But willing to fight: just what can they do?

The Kingdom of Aphros has been defended. But it is not enough: surrender and evacuation was declared long before the invading force even reached the gates, save for the few who stood independently, and thus tragedy unfolds after the initial clash. Outnumbered several thousand to a few hundred, the horde is free to force their way into the city and raise hel. 

The execution of Sinclair D. Adaira after his defeat, an experienced captain of Aphros, only marks the beginning...

Run. Run for your lives, the Lord of Time Xarxes brings destruction, and the dead will join his army. No one is here to save you. 

(For the next 7 hours (3AM EST 30th October), Aphros is no longer a safe zone. Additionally, much of the kingdom will be destroyed/razed, but not sieged (after the usual 48 hr grace). Hostilities are Cap 2+ & you can be freely attacked)
