The Abyssal

[ValroseEmpire]

Atrellyan forces continue to pave their way, pushing forward a stronghold onto the unclaimed land. Moonfallen envoy can be seen carrying supplies up onto such. At their head, a man- seemingly. Seen about, a mysterious figure surely. Placed amongst the edge of the cliff, built within a clear view of the Atrellyan fortress and the lunar setting. The Ashen Tower had been constructed. Wolves and coven members alike would be seen roaming the area. A slow but steady approach to lay claim to the land of Meranthe. Yet another foothold established in the name of  the Atrellyans.

The head of the massive construct revealed as none other than the coming Sage of Destruction. To some, unknown. To some, The Ashen wolf.
Defense preparations are made for those that would think themselves capable of tackling the challenge that had been provided. Wanderers are warned to steer clear. If audience is sought of The Lord Inhabiting, tribute would be required for safe passage.

Word of this is spread amongst the nations.

A fair warning.

"Oh what a fine painting, it will go well in the estate."

(For those granted entry to the fortress, the painting Vanta Violet Part Deux could be seen hanging from the walls. Perhaps bought for an extremely ridiculous price from River Valmontes painting auction.)
