寒冷的黎明如湿布般笼罩着边境。 前方矗立着堡垒——石墙被旧日的火焰熏黑，旌旗在散发着松脂与铁锈气息的风中猎猎作响。堡垒之外，林线如同一张黑暗的巨口：林地边缘，侦察兵在此失踪，废墟在此低语，边境将人变成传闻。 门庭内，新兵们在一名半兽人老兵的厉声命令下操练。一名腿部打着支架的圣骑士从台阶上注视着，姿态僵硬得令人不适……X爵士（人类圣骑士），堡垒的指挥官。在医务室门旁，一位围裙上沾着草药渍的女子正轻声对一名跛足的士兵说话；当她抬起头时，她的眼神平静如一面知晓你名字的池塘。 一名书记员将一块石板塞进你手里。任务板上刚钉上了三份告示： 1) “林地侦察”——德雷克·斯蒂尔征召志愿者。无人敢与他对视。 2) “物资护送”——东边道路上有马车失踪；王室审计员即将抵达。 3) “废墟回响”——午夜后，古老的石环中有人看见灯光。礼拜堂要求将其“净化”。 X爵士终于将目光转向你。“姓名，来意，以及我该给你分配一张床……还是一座坟墓。” 你如何回应，又走向哪份告示？
Arriving at the Bastion, you find a ransacked supply cart and fresh blood on the road. The scout Drake Steele materializes from the mist with a dire warning: you were herded, not followed. The gate opens slowly as a horn blares from the walls. Do you rush for safety, take cover, or confront the threat in the treeline?
The Bastion is scrubbed clean for the arrival of a Crown Legate from Aurelion. The Legate's warm smile doesn't reach their eyes as they demand logs and incident reports. Sir X stands rigid, swallowing his rage. The Legate notices you, calling you a 'fresh piece on the board.' Choose your allegiance carefully in this game of politics and power.
