On the rocks.. but galagarth soldiers were determined to defend what was left... And so the enemy ended up defeated.. they can't hold a position in this continent... So they retreat near the seaside and set an encampment but now it was a city of rebel they are waiting for the day they can capture galagarth and vashna, as you see is in ruins... today the rebel king was badjork.. he captured small city's nearby their palace... Almost half the continent... If they capture galagarth.. all routes resources will be cut off to rhufinya, maesta, grunda,leviata, Sundar, and mortale.. all war strategy will be in vain...
