Story Flavor
The first sunrays crept hesitantly over the serrated city walls, dispelling the dark shroud of night. The catapults had been relentless, firing throughout the night. Murk had successfully repelled two assaults from Wayward’s troops—one at the main gate and another by water, near Icewind Quay. As morning light broke through the darkness, the toll of survival was starkly visible: new cracks and holes marred the thick city wall, a destroyed defensive tower, homes reduced to rubble, and fires raging throughout the city. Scattered among the ashes, debris, and dust lay the bodies of dozens.
As night fell once more, the ominous rumble of Wayward’s war drums echoed in the distance. The catapults remained silent for now, but it was only a matter of time before they unleashed their deadly barrage again. For nine grueling days, Wayward’s hordes had besieged Murk, and each night, the city walls groaned under the relentless assault of stones and fire.
