As they continued to discover more weapons and artifacts, Jack’s mind began to race. He couldn’t help but think they must be getting closer to a battlefield. Suddenly, he realized the only known battle fought in this area was the Assault of Klord.
Jack’s excitement peaked as he grabbed Chalice’s hand and exclaimed, “We must be close to where the Assault of Klord was fought!”
He led her to the top of the hill and proceeded to vividly describe the events of the Assault on Klord and how history books depicted the aftermath.
As they reached the hilltop, Jack painted a picture of the gruesome aftermath of the Assault on Klord. The once beautiful field was now adorned with the new colors of war: red, silver, and pink. The ground was littered with the remains of destruction and blood, marking the stage of a prolonged and brutal battle.

The ground was littered with the remains of destruction and blood, marking the stage of a prolonged and brutal battle.
The once delicate and quiet air now carries a thick scent of death and decay, so pungent that it would make anyone want to flee from it.
The two armies were locked in a battle for supremacy, but it was becoming clear which side would emerge victorious. Across the battlefield lay scattered wounded soldiers. The fighters' faces showed grim determination in the face of death and pain.. Despite the hopeless odds, the battle continued.
The winning side is driven by the thought of victory, and they relentlessly push harder against their foes. Some warriors have given in to their rage, killing any enemy they encounter in a frenzied display of violence, while others are desperate for the battle to end, longing for a respite from the carnage.
The impact on the environment and the people involved is enormous. It will probably take generations for this field to recover. Broken siege engines, twisted metal, and debris have replaced the once lush grass, shrubs, and bushes.

They both stood in silence, feeling a deep sense of sadness as they looked upon the devastating aftermath of the battle.
As Chalice gazed upon the aftermath of the Assault of Klord, she realized that her previous desire to create a fictional battle in her world was misguided. Seeing the actual devastation and pain caused by this actual battle made her understand the weight and importance of accurate and respectful representation of history.
Jack thought they shouldn’t dwell on the sadness of the battlefield anymore and suggested to Chalice that they should head to the nearby town.
Jack told Chalice that the town they were going to visit was called Lathmel. Chalice was intrigued because she couldn’t remember ever hearing about this town before, and wanted to learn more about it.
As they approached, Jack explained to Chalice that Lathmel was settled by pirates who were led by Captain Ady. The town was strategically by the ocean, as it was believed that the seawater had body-enhancing properties that were essential to the people of Lathmel. This contributed to the success and wealth of the town.
The town of Lathmel appears uninviting, with its decaying rooftops, murky wooden walls, and vines that cover almost everything. It has a gloomy atmosphere that doesn’t seem to lift soon. However, the old tavern, which was built two decades ago and designed by barbarians, remains the major attraction in the town.
Lathmel’s economy thrives through farming, engineering, and weaponsmithing. The town is renowned for its exceptional archers and weapon smiths, making them a force to be reckoned with. However, the people of Lathmel lack expertise in the field of alchemy.
Despite its strengths and weaknesses, Lathmel seems to be headed toward a prosperous future under the guidance of Captain Ady’s leadership.
As Jack and Chalice approached the town, they could hear the sound of waves crashing against the shore and the chatter of people going about their day. They made their way through the bustling streets, taking in the sights and sounds of Lathmel.
Chalice couldn’t help but notice the unique architecture of the buildings. Many of them were built with dark, weathered wood and adorned with skulls and other ominous decorations. It was clear that this was a town with a reputation for piracy and danger.
As they walked, they came across a group of pirates in the town square. They were all gathered around a large, imposing figure, who turned out to be Captain Ady himself. Jack and Chalice watched in awe as the Captain spoke with authority and charisma, commanding the attention of everyone around him.
